SOUTHERN TRAIN WRECKED.
Bolt Placed on Track Derails South
Western Limited.

Atlanta, Ga, August 23.-Train
No. 3S on the Southern Railway,
known as the Southwestern limited
train, which left atlanta shortly after
noon to-day, was wrecked four miles
north of Suwanee, Ga, about three
O'Clock this afternoon.
The colored fireman, Mason Wat
kins, was killed instantly, and The
engineer, B. f. Dewberry, Of Atlanta,
was badly scalded, both being pinned
underneath the engine after it left
the track and turned over. Engineer
Dewberry died later. The mail car,
baggage car and combination car also
left the track and turned over, roll
ing down a fifteen-foot embankment.
The mail car escaped with minor
bruises. None of the passengers were
injured.
Just previous to the trains coming
three small boys were Seen running
away from the scene. An investiga-
ton after the wreck developed the
fact that bolt had been Llaced upon
the track and the flight of the boys
led to the belief that they may have
in spirit of mischief placed the bolt
in such a position as to cause the
train to jump the track. The sheriff
and railroad officers are now at work
on the case.

John Curtis Cary, president of
the Lock hart Cotton Mill, was born

| the site Of Old Pickens Court House,
on July 10, 1S4S. John C. Cary was
reared on farm in Oconee county
and was prepared for college in the
Thalian Academy, taught by Rev. j.
l.. Kennedy, distinguished educator
Of that time. He served six months
in the Confederate army in the lat
ter part of 1864, holding the rank of
second lieutenant of Company |, First
regiment Of South Carolina militia.
He served with the same command
until the close Of the war, then re-
entered the Thalan Academy, where
he remained until August, 1866. Dur
ing the year 1867, he was student
under Prof. w. ]. Ligon, Of Ander-
son. In 1869 he accepted a position
with a corps of engineers surveying
the line Of the Blue Ridge Railroad
This occupied his attention until
1872, when he entered the employ of
a railroad concern, as book-keeper
and paymaster, which position he
held for a year. In the spring OF
1878, he was employed by the Sa-
vannah & Memphis in the engineer
ing department, but the money panic
Of that year compelled suspension
of work. In 1874 he helped to sur
vey the railroad from Greenville to
Asheville, n. c.. In 1876 he was
made the agent for McFadden &
Bros, of Philadelphia, Pa, and Liv-
erpoOl, England. He was the agent
of South Carolina and Northeastern
Georgia for more than fifteen years
In 1898 he sold one Of his water
powers to Charleston capitalists and
engaged with them to superintend
the erection of a cotton mill thereon,
which was completed early in 1894.

1t will be a matter Of no little in
tcrcSt to the people Of this sect ion
that the United States government
has refused to pay for horses shot
while revenue officers are diSCha rg-
ing unpleasant duties. Recently Il
horse hired from the stables Of
Houchins & King, OF Walhala by
Revenue Officer II. Q. Mcrrick was
shot from under him while on a raid.
Claim was made on the government
for the value of tho horse, $4,000,
md the claim was turned down by
Comptroller TraJewell. This leaves
Mr.. Mcrrick $500 out of pocket be-
cause he attempted to do his duty.
"Thc government" remarked Comp
trollcr Traccwell, in turning down
the claim, lis not i'm the insurance
business" which Is all very true; but
it strikes us as being simple Justice
that when an officer loses his horse
while discharging his hazardous du-
ties in the revenue service, the gov
crnmCnt should bear the loss, or else
provide the horses for the officers
which amounts TO the same thing. 1t
is probable, however, n bill will be
passed at the next session of Con-
gress rclmbursing Mr.. Merrick for
the amount he had to pay.

Ia France the favorite Easter
flower is the lilac. In Russia the
eamellia is preferred to all other
flowers for the Easter holidays. The
fragrant violet is priced the most of
any flower in Italy. In Great
Britain the orchid gets the prefer
ence, especially among the aris-
tocracy, but its cost precludes its
popular use and the public seldom
sees one of these expensive flowers.
The calla lily has the preference
among the middle and lower classes.
