BLUE RIDGE FREIGHT WRECKED
Track Is Blockaded and Walhaila is
Cut Out Of Freight and Mail.

Yesterday about noon the freight
train for Anderson was wrecked on
the fyc-mile hill, between Jordania
and Adams's Crossing. The Blue
Ridge tracks are SO badly torn up
and so many freight cars piled up
on them that no trains have been
operated since the wreck occurred.
1t is stated that the engine and
eleven cars are derailed and are in
such shape that it will take until 3
O'Clock this afternoon, and probably
longer. to clear the tracks.
Engineer Sam Hutchison was
handling the throttle when the wreck
occurred, but neither he nor any
member Of the crew was hurt. 1t is
stated that the wreck was caused
by loaded coal car next to the en-
gine jumping the track, derailng the
engine ahead and eleven cars in the
rear. When it was learned that the
delay would be long one citizens
of Walhalla confidently expected
that the Blue Ridge would operate
trains around by Grccnvile, but
such was not the case, and Walhalla
mas been completely shut off from
railroad accommodation for about
36 hours. The first mail received
here since the wreck was brought
across the country from Seneca at
S.15 o'clock this morning.
probably the greatest inconven-
ience to the people Of Walhalla has
been in the matter Of ice. Prior to
the wreck Walhalla was almost fac
ing an Ice famine, and since that
time no ice has been procurable save
as those fortunate enough to own
automobiles have been able to run
eight miles to Westminster and Sen
eca and take advantage Of assistance
from friends there.

CARRIE NATION IS AT REST.
Kansas Saloon Smasher Dies in Hos
pital---Rcsponsible for Prohibition.

Leavenworth, Kansas, June g.
Carrie Nation, the Kansas saloon
smasher, died here tonight.
Paresis was the cause Of death.
For several months Mrs. Nation had
been in poor health, and on January
% she entered the local sanitarium
in which she died, hoping there to
recover from a nervous breakdown.
Mrs. Carrie Nation was born in
Kentucky in 1846. Her maiden
name was Carrie Moor, and as
girl 1T is said she was absolutely
fearless. In her early life she mar
ried a man addicted to the use Of
intoxicants, which created in her an
Intense aversion to the saloon. When
he died she determined to devote her
life to the suppression OF the liquor
traffic. Later she moved to Kansas
and married David Nation, who SYM
pathiZed witt 'er temperance princi-
pies.
Mrs. Nations first saloon smash
ing was done In the bar-room Of the
Carey Hotel in Wichita, December
27, 1900. She was arrested and re-
NAMED In jail several days before
she was released on bond.
On January 81, 1901, armed with
her favorite weapon, hatchet, Mrs.
Nation made another raid in Wichita.
This time she smashed two saloons.
During the next three months Mrs.
Nation surprised the saloon keepers
In various towns, appearing unher-
aided and leaving n trail OF ruined
bar fixtures wherever she went.
Remarkably few saloon men used
violence in resisting Mrs. Nation, al
though she was attacked and badly
hurt while wrecking q bar at Enter
prise. Kans. BY this time the State
OF Kansas was in foment. Aroused
by the spirit Of the dauntless woman
from Kentucky, the people began to
demand that all the saloons be clos
ed. Smashing parties were organ
lied all over the State.
Erratic as her life had been, Mrs
Nation was responsible for the great
est temperance awakening in Kansas
Mrs. Nation, after her activities in
Kansas, became lecturer and the
editor Of a paper called The Smash
ers' Mail. She did little smashing
outside Of Kansas. While lecturing
In New York she created q sensa-
ton by appearing at the horse show
in Madison Square Garden and de-
manding that the occupants Of the
Vanderbilt box contribute money for
home for drunkards' wives, which
she founded In Kansas City, Kans.
The home recently was taken over
by the Associated Charities in Kan
sas City, Mo.
