A serious wreck occurred ON a sharp

Thursday morning, the wreck taking
place at the. same locality another ser.
ious wreck occurred several months
ago. In rounding the curve the second
section of southbound freight train
plunged into the caboose of the first
train, demolishing the caboose, and
throwing that and one car from the
track. Conductor Hargrove and the
other members of the train crew Of
the first section, who were riding in
the caboose, were pretty badly
scratched up. One brakeman, whose
name could not be learned, jumped to
save himself, and sustained some Sc

hurt The track was cleared at once,
and traffic was but little interfered

to give out any statemtnt as to the
particulars or cause OF the wreck for

| DR.. Otey ]. Porter, President of the

exhaustive article In this issue, anent
the telephone situation in this coun'
ty, and the condition of the Citizens
Company in particular. We cannot
in this issue give the paper review We
will give it later; but wish to call
especial attention to it today, and to
suggest to our readers who are inter-
ested in the subject that they read the
article very carefully; studiously per-
haps would be a better word; and If
they feel disposed to disagree with the
writer upon any material point, that
they re-read and study that feature
especially. Because, in our judgment,
DR.. Porter has about arrived at
proper solution of a very intricate
subject; and of course unless some Of
us can arrive at something better"
DR.. Porter's suggestions should be
adopted. Another feature We should
not overlook is this: DR.. Porter has
studied the subject so long and so
carefully, and has succeeded so mar
vellously well under such difficult and |
trying conditions; and has worked so
cheaply and periodically and unselfish- \
ly and loyalty that his word, his rec
oOro lamentations h{C oniDforc chOuld 0c

might be disposed to object to some
Of his suggestions If they came from
any one else, should take a second
thought before he opposes any PROPOSE
ton coming from source so well in
formed and so unque6tionably intend
ed for the general good. The Herald
has read the article over carefully,
.wice; and while we cannot at this
review it at length, we can
md do give it our endorsement 1t is
plain to any one who will give the
