NASHVILLE, Tenn. March 26.-
NJ Nashville Interurban Railway will

.gril 10, at which time President H.
u Mulberry is planning to begin the
,asraffon of the cars over the line
ss,ween Nashville and Franklin. The
oars have been shipped from the fac
tory and will be here next week but
mill NOT he nut in service until thor
ougb trying out, and it is planned to
make a five-day test of the rolling
stock before the travelling public is
asked TO patronize the line.
President Mayberry has faith in the
,eonle of Nashville and believes that
tbev will unhesitatingly ratify the con-
tract between the Nashville Interur-
han Railway and the Nashville Rail
way &, Light Company when the mat
ter is nut to vote June 10. This
mint had never been brought up or
thought of by the interurban promo
tars until it was raised in a meeting
of the Council committee recently and
the effect of the matter will be to de-
Law the entrance of the cars of the
Interurban Railway into the city until
the contract may be ratified by pub
lie vote. although prior to that time
the Messengers will be transferred at
Tennessee Street to the Nashville
Railway & Light Company, to which
point the company will extend it's
tracks.
we expect to put cars in operation
April 10 for a few days tryout, and
we expect to have the line open for
the public by April 49," said President
Mayberry.
Our cars were shipped from the
factory Thursday and should be re-
ceiyed next week. Everything is In
perfect condition with the exception
of some portions of the track, and a
large force of men are at work making
all the necessary corrections in the
roadbed so that with reasonably fair
weather we expect to have everything
in first-class condition by the time
the rolling stock is ready for the pub
lie
1--WE have turned on the current,
tested out the overhead wires and the
sub.stations at Nashville, Brentwood
and Franklin and find that everything
is in perfect working order and we're
more than gratifed as results.
When the travelling public IS ad-
vised of the fact that the line is ready
for the reception OF patronage | feel
sure that trip over the line VIII con-
vince the most skeptical that the
Nashville Interurban Railway is one
of the best roads of its kind anywhere
and that it is built and will be oper-
ated along the most approved lines.

North-bound passenger train NO. 4,
which is due to arrive in Columbia at
2:2O o'clock a. m. rolled in at 11:1O
this morning and carried several in
jured people.
Last night at $50 o'clock as the
train was running into Calera, Ala, a
small town thirty miles south of Biz
mingham, she ran into an open switch
and the engine split two coal cars
asunder and left the track and ran
twenty or thirty feet and landed
against a tree and was almost COM
pletely demolished The mail car, bag
gage car and the smoker also left the
track. Fireman Sherrin had both legs
broken and was injured internally and
If is thought will die. The engineer
was considerably shaken up and
bruised but was not seriously hurt
AS soon as the accident happened
the conductor ran to the switch and
foupd the light out and the lock had
been hammered off This evidence is
conclusive that the deed was done for
spite.
John Frazier of Columbia, was in
the wreck and in the smoker at the
time the wreck occurred. Frazier
states that he was in the act of light
ing a cigar when the crash came, but
that he does not know what became
of the cigar, unless he swallowed II.
When asked by some one who was
taking the names of the passengers
and if they sustained any injuries
Frazier stated that he was not hurt
but that he was scared to death, and
wantd to know at once if he could get
any damages for being scared.

COLERA. Ala, March 27.-Passen-
ger train No. 4, bound for the north,
ran into an open switch one-half mile
south of here at eight thirty o'clock
last night. The engine ran into a
bunch of freight cars standing on the
siding and split two coal cars open
and then left the track and ran TWEEN
ty or thirty feet into a tree and was
completely demolished The engineer
was slightly hurt, while the fireman
had both legs broken and is hurt In
ternally and may die. The mail car
and the smoker also left the track,
but were not torn up much. Three
mail clerks on the train, all colored,
were pretty badly hurt, while the bag
gage master, the porter and one or two
others received injuries.
The railroad officials think the
switch was thrown by some one who
had spite at the company, as as soon
as the accident happened the conduc-
tor ran to the switch ana found the
light out and the lock had been ham
mered off. Investigations were at
once instituted, and while the guilty
party has not been apprehended the
officials think they know and that 1t
is only a matter of short time when
he will land in the tolls of the law.
The Injured.
The following are those that re-
ceived injuries:
SHEARIN, colored, fireman,
both legs broken and injured Internal
ily May die.

clerk, head hurt, arm and shoulder
bruised and other injuries.

A BOYS AWAKENERS.

DR.. Smith Baker says that three
men, outside of his teachers, who did
the most to make a man of him, were
his father, stiff puritan, who always
talked with him as il he were a man,
a wise neighbor who, though a pub
lie man, would talk with the boy by
the hour on the questions Of the day,
and third Congregational deacon,
Of whom he says:
"He was not a politician, but a
very Intelligent, religious man, and
he talked with me as with an equal.
There was none Of the patronizing
manner as much as to say, You are
only religious kid" and will know
more some time,' but he conversed
with me as he would with my father,
upon the great questions, and though
there was no f1attery about him, he
made me feel like a Christian man.
He always said an encouraging word
and when I said an important truth
he wanted to talk it over as though
l was an adult like himself
Thus these three men had a ten
dency to wake up what little of man
hood there was in me. Were they
not right? Had they not one of the
secrets Of helping boys? Intellect
ually they put the arms around the
lad and said, Let US take a walk
together There is much said and
done about boys clubs" and it is all
right, but every home should be a
boys club in which the father should
take his son or sons into compan-
ionship. Most boys like to be
treated as men. Take the boys
with you to political conventions and
other political meetings. Do not fear
they will not be interested or will
not understand. You will not only
help them, but they will help you.
But let the boys alone or treat them
Jas though they were only kids let
them drift as though when they are
as large as men, will be soon enough
to interest them in many questions,
and they will drift away with the 9th
er boys out and down. After ALL
the keeping of the boys must be in
the home and with the father. THE
Advance.

A PUZZLED DUTCHMAN MADE
GLAD.

A Dutchman once heard a sermon
by preacher who did not believe in
immersion for baptism. In his dis
course he attempted to explain the
proposition into" asserting that it
meant simply going down to or near
the water, and being sprinkled. At
the close of this very labored dis
course, the preacher gave an oppor-
tunity for any present to express
their thoughts on the subject. The
Dutchman accepted the invitation,
and remarked as follows:
Mr.. preacher, I ish so glad I wash
here tonight, for I has had explain
ed to my mint something dat never
could peblieve pebore. Oh, I ish so
glad dat into does not mean into at
all. but shut close py or near to; for

reat, Mr.. preacher, dat Taniel wash
cast into de ten Of lions, and came
out alife! Now, I never could I'm
derstant dat; for de wilt peasts
would eat him up right off, but now
1t ish very clear to my mint. He
was shust close py or near to: and
did not get into de ten at all. Oh. I
ish so glad I wash here tonight.
Again we read dat de Hebrew chill
dren wash cast into de irish furnace.
and dat a1vaysh lookt like a peeg
story, too; for I drinks dey would
have been purnt up; but it ish all
blain to my mint now; for dey were
shust cast close by or near to de firish
furnace. Oh, I ish so glat 1 wash
here tonight.
"And den, Mr.. preacher, 1t ish
said that Jonah wash cast into de
whalesh pelley. Now 1 could never
understand dat; put it ish all blain
to my mint now; he wash not taken
into de walesh pelley at all, but shust
shump on his back and rode ashore.
Oh, l ish so glat wash here tonight!
And now, Mr.. preacher, if you
will shust explain two more pashag
of Scripture. shall pc, oh, so happy
wash here tonight! One of dem ish
we're 1t saish, de wicked shall ne
cast into lake dat purns init fire
and birthstone alvaysh. Oh. Mr..
preacher, shall I pc cast into dat
lake. II I am wicked. or shust close

"LUCK."

The boy who's always wishing
That this or that might be,
But never tries his mettle,
Is the boy that's bound to see
His plans all come to failure.
His hopes end in defeat;
For that's what comes when wishing
And working fail to meet.
The s'1uck'' that I believe in
Is that which comes with work,
And no one ever finds it
Who's content to wish and shirk.
The men the world calls lucky
Will tell you, every one,
That success comes not with wishing,
But by hard work, bravely done.

Nystagmus is another disease
peculiar to miners, affecting the optic
and sympathetic nerves. Peculiarly
enough, it seems to be the result of
using safety lights, as only ccliiery
men are found with it,. those work
ing in the light of naked flames not
being affected. The symptoms ofsthis
malady are impaired vision and a
twitching of the eyes, caused no
doubt by the constant dazzling OF
the eyes by the bright intense light
of the lamp, and aggravated by the
strain of the muscles and neck, while
holing the coal, this not being the
position proper for using the eyes
to any extent. However the intro
duction of c~oal-cuuling machines in
the last 10 years has caused a great
decrease of this malady, and a con-
sequent increase in efficiency OF the
labor.

coming fall and winter will usher
the country into the greatest boom

TURNS DOWN EASY DIVORCE
Continued from page one.)

in the Interpretation of the law gov
decision of Judge Pike following his
former opinion in the case of Mrs.
E. II. Sothern, it is believed. will
settle some theories on which
prospective candidates for freedom
have based their hopes that some
loophole existed that allowed divorce
without clearly establishing residence
for the statutory time.
Mrs. Tyler's claims to the protec-
ton of Judge Pixies court were based
ON the statement that she came to
Reno in August, 1908, and remained
as a resident for about three months,
after which she left to attend her
mother who was ri at Paris France.
In May of this year she returned to
Reno which sue stated was her resi-
dence and on June 30th she filed
her complaint asking divorce or the
grounds of desertion and non-sup-
port.
The two periods of time when Mrs.
Tyler was in Nevada when added up
did not make six months but her
attorney, w. H. Schnitzer, ingenious
ly advanced the argument that the
plaintiff had never lost her residence
in Nevada by going across the
Atlantic and that time ran on
whether she was here or not.
Judge Pike stated that after care
full consideration he was of the
opinion that the residence as con-
templated in the statute had not
been acquired and dismisses the
bill and denied the prayer for d.
pOrce.

Among those who are advising
the accumulation of the stocks of
legitimate, going enterprises, are the
most conservative business men in
the country. They say, go the limit.
This position is taken for the reason
that they are confident that the oe-
mand upon the mines, the railroads
and the manufacturers of the coun-
try this fall and winter will be the
greatest ever known and that earn
ings will in consequence touch ley
high levels, which means that the
stocks will also go to new levels.
