train containing freight and pasi

when II reached the mouth of
Three Mile Creek, which is three
miles below Shelby Gap. ten cars
of the freight section went into the

Leonard Kinney, and roadmaster,
Howard Burpo. were aboard the
wrecked cars. All three were injur-
ed, but viii Kinney was in the most
critical condition. All three men

MORE New Railroad.
Independent Extension Ii Consolidation
Properly Contemplated.

The Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio
Railway which is now being extend
ed from Dante, Va, to Elkhorn City.
KY, about 35 miles, to connect there
with the Chesapeake & Ohio system,
contemplates, according to recent
report, the construction of an indie
penden, line for 1t to reach the
mines OF the Consolidation Coal Co
at and near Jenkins, KY, on the
Sandy Valley & Elkhorn Railroad,
which connects at Shelby with the
Chesapeake & Ohio. 1t is said that
over the route Of one survey I
would require 16 miles. and over
another 30 miles. OF additional COR
struction to reach the mines.
In reply to telegram concerning
this. President Mark w. Potter OF
the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio
wires from Johnson City, Tenn, to
the Manufacturers Record.
Result OF our connection with
C. & o. at Elkhorn will naturally be
to give to Consolidation mines south

This is correct. as Shelby is i5
miles north of Elkhorn City on the
Big Sandy division of the G. & o.,
but 1t is said that shorter route
to the mines will be made through
a new coal territory by building
across the southern part of Pine
county. Kentucky. instead of using
the existing roads. 1t is. however.
expected that the Clinchfield's ex-
tension to Elkhorn will be finished
within Is months, although the con-
struction work is heavy and difficult
and It is intimated that the direct
connection will be made under con-
ditions similar to those under which
the Sandy Valley. & .Elkhorn line was
built. This, II will be remembered,
was under an arrangement with the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co j
which will receive via the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Railway a large por-
ton of the output OF the mines for
the East and West. and the Balti-

POLITICAL Facts.
Matters Of Interest to Every Citizen Of
This Conntly.
The People VIII supply Funds.

The present campaign for the
election of a Democratic President
differs from all others in recent
years. Heretofore the money nee
essary for the expenses was supplied
by men of large means, who were
anxious for the success OF tho
party, and mayhap. in some casas,
from those who thought they could
use it. to their own advantage. This
order of things has been changed.
Governor Wilson has absolutely re-
fused to accept contributions from
corporations. great interests or 9th
er questionable sources, determined.
II elected, to take the high office
with clean hands and under obliga-
ton to none save the great COM
mon people.
Then necessary expenses of the
Presidential campaign are very great
Money is needed to provide speak
ers and literature to inform the
voters of the issues of the carr
paign. This money must come. If
at all. from the people who now
have the opportunity to return to
their own. The other parties are be-
ing financed by the interests as
usual. The Democratic party must
depend ON it's members who are
earnestly solicited to contribute to
the extent of their means or inclina-
tions. A dollar, if you can afford
no more; hundred or thousand.
if you are able and anxious that the
people shall rule. Send any amount
that the spirit moves you to the
Secretary, Hon. w. o. Davis, of the
Democratic State Campaign Commit
