ALTA NTA STREET CAR SMASHED
Crowded Car Hit Curve at High
Spccd--Twcnty-Fou Hurt.
(Atlanta Journal, 26th.D

Twenty-four passengers were in
iurcd at 7.10 o'clock Sunday night,
when trolley car No. 149 was wreck
ed at the corner Of Woodward ave-
nue. and Hill street. Although sove-
raj or the passengers are very seri-
ously hurt none Of them are expected
to die.
The accident occurred when the
car, which was coming towards the
city, struck, at terrific speed, the
curve at Hill street at the foot Of q
steep incline on Woodward avenue
The jerk when the trolley hit the
curve sent the body of the car one
way, while the trucks went in the
opposite direction
The trolley was crowded, there be-
ing probably 35 passengers aboard.
with this heavy load OF human be-
lhgs the car was precipitated clear
across double tracks and turned on
It's side. Fortunately almost all of
the windows in the car were down at
the time OF the accident, and through
tnesc many OF the passengers crawl
ed. Others were able to make their
way through the doors, which also
were open. Many women tainted
olhcrs, Doth men and women, were
~ ''""is iiJulSil W Bcl out without
assistance. The men i'm tho party.
assisted by citizens, quickly returned
to help tho more unfortunate and
within five minutes after the crash
every passenger, with the single ex-
ception OF Evans Harris, was extri-
Gated from the debris. In some way
MS arm was pinned by a smashed
part or the car near the front door
ana 1t was some time before the
trantically working passengers were
aDle to lift the car and pull him
from beneath It.
That many more serious iniuries
were not received in the wreck is at
trlDuted by many OF the passengers
10 the fact that the car was crowded
past Its seating capacity. All Of the
seats were occupied and the aisles
were filled with standing men. As
a result the tremendous crash and
heavy jerk precipitated the passen-
gers against each other.

FAMOUS PIoKENs TREATY OAK.
ID. A. IL. Give Picnic on Historic Spot
Near Clemson College.
(News and Courier Special: }


Clemson College, Sept. 23.-On
Tuesday, the 10th instant, the Gen.
Andrew Pickens Chapter, D. A. IT,,
held picnic celebration at the fam
GUS Pickens Treaty Oak as a fitting
finale In the efforts Of the chapter to
mark the site Of the Indian treaty,
made in 1885, by which the Pied
mont region of the South Atlantic
was opened to white settlers. When
the settlers found their progress into
the Interior of this region blocked
by the Cherokee Indians, negotia-
tions were begun to secure the lands
from the Indians. Many unsatisfac-
tory efforts were made In this direc-
ton, and it was not until Novem-
Der 28, 1885, that definite and effect
I've terms were made whereby the
whites got possession of the Pied
mont of the Carol:nas, Georgia and
Tennessee
The Commissioners.
The commissioners for the United
States Government in this far-reach-
ing compact we're Gen. Andrew Pick
ems, Of South Carolina; Col. Benja-
min Hawkins, Of North Carolina:
Col. Lachlan Mcintosh, Of Georgia,
and Cherokee Agent Joseph Martin,
Of Tennessee. These Representatives
of the United States met about one
thousand Indian representatives Of
the Cherokees at Hopewell, on the
east bank Of the Seneca river near
where the Blue Ridge railway cross es
and near the site of the present sta
ton of Cherry's, and under an i'm
mense oak the treaty was made and
signed.
Oak Destroyed by Storm.
The famous oak stood until a few
years ago, when it was destroyed by
storm, and many were the sight
seers who carried away souvenirs Of
the tree. Recently the Gen. Andrew
Pfckens Chapter, OF Clemson Col
lege, and the Cateechee Chapter, of
Anderson, united in marking the his
toric spot by means Of a huge boul-
der that rested near, and having
smoothed one side, had simple,
suitable inscription cut upon It, as
follows:
"Hopewell-Keowee, home of Gen.
Andrew Pickens, where, under treaty
oak, in 1855, was signed the Indian
treaty which opened the up-country
to white settlers. Erected by the
Gen. Andrew Pickens and Cateechee
Chapters, D. A. r.
The Picnic.
At the picnic held there on Tues
day the Cateechee Chapter was the
guest of the local chapter. After a
delightful dinner was served Mrs. An
drew Bramlett, regent Of Andrew
P1ckens Chapter, made brief. in
teresting talk, sketching the history
OF the treaty oak; Mrs. Bleckley, of
Anderson, recited, and Mrs. +. Lou
lse Mays, State regent, made an ad-
dress in which she stressed the policy
or the present State administration
In regard to patriotic education and
In regard to the establishment in CO.
lumbla OF a monument to honor
Marion, Sumter, Pickens and the
men behind the guns"
The occasion was pleasant to all,
and the two chapters are to be highly
commended for their services in
marking the historic spot for pos
terity.

MIR. Long May Take Case,

Death Rather than Arrest.

Spartanburg, Sept. 25.-When at
tempts were being made to arrest
John underwood, a negro, on the
charge of drunkenness, at Swltzer, he
stated: 81 will die and go to h,
before being arrested" He died. The
coroner's jury failed to place the
blame for the killing OF any one, but
testimony points towards Charlie
turner and w. w. Boiter, who were
trying to arrest The unruly negro.

Worked Up Welborn Case~-A slced to
Take Up Hawkins Mystery,

The following very interesting bit
Of information is taken from a spe-
cial dispatch from Anderson to the
Charleston News and Courier:
Anderson, Sept. 24.-On Novem-
ber 12, Of last year, D. v. Welborn,
a young lumberman, was arrested on
the streets Of Townville, this county,
on the charge of drunkenness and
disorderly conduct. He was placed
IN the towns guard house for the
night, and some time during the
night the house was DESTROYED by
lire. Next morning the charred and
almost unrecognizable remains NJ
Welborn were found in the ashes. A
jury empanelled by the coroner next
day returned verdict that the de-
ceased came to his death by fire of
unknown origin while prisoner in
the guard house. 1t was supposed
that Welborn, in attempting to es-
cape from the house, set 1t afire. and
that he was responsible for his own
death.
NJ. G. Long, Detective.
NJ. G. Long, who, until recently,
was court stenographer for this cir
cult, but who resigned that position
to practice law at Walhalla, and who
mas done some clever detective work.
mas been working quietly on the Wei
born case, and 1t Is said that he has
become convinced that Welborn had
been murdered before he was placed
IN the guard house, and that he has
plenty OF evidence to substantiate
this fact.
Worked Up Emerson Case.
Mr.. Long IS the man who worked
up evidence against L. f. Cantrell,
q. NJ. Gaines and Charles L. Angel
for the murder of Robt. Emerson,
which occurred at Walhalla on De-
cember 6, 1909, and which caused
their conviction of murder with rec
ommendation of mercy, after Emer-
son had been supposed to have been
Killed by train Of the Blue Ridge
road. The body was found under a
railroad trestle and it was thought
that he had fallen from the trestle
or had been knocked off by a train.
MIR. Long worked hard on getting up
the evidence, and he had to go to
ne1ghboring States to connect the
chain of evidence, which later con-
victed the men.
On Myrtle Hawkins Case &?
Mr.. Long made quite a reputation
in this case, and he has been asked
to give his talents and time in work
ing up the Myrtle Hawkins case at
liendersonville. He prefers to prac-
tlce law, however, and he hasn't de-
cided whether or not he will go to
Hendersonyillc to work on the case
which now seems battling.
1t was expected that the Welborn
case would come up in some form or
other at the Court of Sessions this
week, but nothing developed. 1t is
likely, however, that the case will be
called to the attention of the court
at its next session.
