TRAIN OPERATIONS
WERE DEMORALJZED
Slow ORDERS ISSUED LAST NIGHT
BECAUSE OF THE NUMEROUS
ACCIDENTS OF VARIOUS KINDS
REPORTED DURING THE DAY

Probably never before have railroad
operations into Birmingham been so
demoralized as they were last night.
The frequency Of slight accidents dur
ing the day and last night and the
two serious wrecks seemed to throw
spell of decentralization over the en-
tire railroad situation. The bad rains
of the trouble. And this result came
just when the railroads were congrat-
ulating themselves that fine construc-
lions of the past had withstood sue
cessfully the ragaves of the rains.
After the wreck on the Queen and
Crescent route and the Seaboard Air
Line yesterday there followed one on
the Southern railway Mobile division.
last night. A slide was encountered
by train and the engine plowed into
1t with considerable force, but no one
was injured. The Louisville and Nash
willie followed with the beheading of
a man in the Boyles yard and a wash
out on the Birmingham Mineral. Tho
Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlanta es-
capped wrecks or washouts as did the
Frisco and Illinois Central. but slow
orders were out over the lines And
trains were late accordingly.
Last night slow orders covering
practically every line coming into the
city were issued. The following was
issued by the Queen and Crescent:
"rrrain order No. 49,
Heavy rains over the entire line
Run carefully, looking out all the while
for washouts and slides.
u. N. WINSTON. Chief Dispatcher"
This order was obeyed to the let
ter and as a result several delays
were occasioned In the arrival and de-
parture Of trains. The train due here
over the Queen and Crescent at
o'clock was4 hours and SO minutes
late The train going south was on
time, Trains from Meridian were about
two hours late.
The Seaboard Air Line issued the
following order last night from tic
Atlanta headquarters:
Reduce speed to six miles per hour
at watkins cut and also one mile east
OF weems Reduce speed to 10 miles
per hour one-half mile east of Mill
port"
In addition to traffic tieouts the rail-
roads had considerable trouble in es-
tablishing telegraphic communications
The conditions now. however. are con-
siderably improved ana unless the un-
looked for happens the traftic situation
will be about normal today

The Remarkable Value of a Sand.
Clay Road

(Joseph Hyde Pratt, State Grologist OF
North Carolina, in "Southrra Good
Roads.")
The roads of the eastern coun-
ties of the southern Appalachian
states are deep sand and dis
tresSing in summer; in the mid.
die and western sections of these
states they have an excess Of
clay and often become impassa-
bic in winter. We are confronted,
therefore, by the two extremes,
deep sand and deep mud, and the
name of either signifies death TO
agricultural development, to So
cial and intellectual life; 10 edu.
cation and religion. While natu-
rally such a condition exists
things are pretty evenly balanc-
ed after all. In nearly all sec
tions where sand predominates
deposits Of clay can be found,
and if this be bauled upon the
deep sand and thoroughly mixed
with it you have a sand-clay road
which cannot make deep Sand in
summer; sufficiently mixed with
the clay, 80 as to overcome the
tendancy to make mud in wet
weather, you have a good road
winter and summer. From a
close study and observation of
this phase of road inproveKe ent,
com bined with some experience,
I am prepared TO make the as
sertion, in full confidence, that
there is no section in the eastern
part of the southern Appalachian
states where really good, practi-
cal country roads may not be
built by this process, if only per-
severance be the watch word.
Many fail for want of patient,
persistent effort, and fail when

Reflect moment and you will

the entire body Of the road, with
only the small interstices filled
with clay for the purpose of bind
ing and to prevent slipping.
Bear in mind clean, sharp sand
is needed, and avoid sand which
has been rounded off by The ac-
tion of the wheels ir the road bed.
Always get sand if possible from
the side of the road where it has

If then in the eastern part of
