The Triton Gazette says that as
result of the local tax system the
educational interests Of Tiff county
have been so immeasureably benefited
that it almost seems as if there were no
school system before the improvements
were made. There is no greater factor
in the upbuilding of any country or
community than high grade public
schools. No one can estimate the tre-
mendous part the school system has
played in the development of Americus'
and other rapidly growing cities.

in his assertions. The Georgia farmer
does not raise the variety and quantity
of food stuffs that he should for his own

SOUTHERN PASSENGER
TRAIN IN COLLISION
Engineer on Freight Had Left
Tn OF l. And Engine
SLIPPED ONTO THE MAIN LINE

| None of the Seven Injured is serious
" Hurt-That Result Was Not More
Disastrous Is Considered Almost
Miraculous.
Atlanta. March 4.-4With no engi-
nee. at the throttle, freight train No.
| 81 drifted from a side track to the
main line at Howell Station Monday
morning about $40 o'clock, and was
! crashed into with such force by in
coming Southern passenger train, No.
143, that five postal clerks, negro
passenger and one Of the conductors
were painfully hurt, and both en-
gines badly damaged.
The names of the injured follow:
J. F. Calhoun, Atlanta; j. P.
Blodgett, Atlanta; B. R. Clark, At
lanta; V. l.. Brown, Greensboro, n.
c.; A. F. Siller, Greensboro, N. c.,
all postal clerks Nose Matherson,
Norcross; a negro passenger, and c.
f. Marshall, Atlanta, conductor of
the passenger train.
None of the injured sustained any
broken bones, and bruises, cuts ar
wrenches were the extent of their
hurts. All were able to leave the
scene of the wreck unassisted.
Perhaps the most serious injured
was Conductor Marshal. He was
thrown heavily against a seat when
the collision occurred, and suffered a
badly bruised shoulder and Wrenched
ankle.
The two trains whose impact added
another entry to the ever-g growing list
of wrecks, were each owned by the
Southern road. The freight was
bound from Atlanta to Birmingham,
and the passenger train was enroute
from Greenville, S. c.. The former
was in the charge of Engineer G. B.
Davis, and Conductor Cable, and the
latter of Engineer C. c. Blackburn
and Conductor c.. F. Marshal.
The crash happened, it is said,
while no engineer was at hand to
guide the freight train, and was
caused by it slipping slowly from a
sidetrack to the main line along which
was speeding the incoming passenger
train.
AS is usual, the freight train was
sidetracked at Howell Station that the
passenger train from Greenville might
pass. While waiting for the latter
train to put in appearance Engi-
neer Davis made his way to the tele-
graph station that is but a few yards
distant from the place of the wreck,
and was here at the time the coIli-
sion took place.
The siding on which the freight
train lay rs good deal elevated above
the principal track, and, with no one
at hand to apply emergency brakes
or resort to some other expedient, it
rolled slowly on the main track, and
had left the siding entirely when the
passenger train swept down ON it.
The latter was running at only
slow rate of speed, otherwise fatali-
ties might have occurred. AS it
was, both engines were thrown from
the track, and badly battered up.
None of the cars, however, suffer-
ed damage.
