CAUSE Of WRECK
ON SOUTHERN
MYSTERY
Track Apparently in Good Condi-
ton at Point of DeraiIment.
Passengers in Panic.

Southern Railway officials Satur-
day expressed themselves at a loss
to account for the wreck near Griffin
Friday, in which two men, the en-
gineer and the fireman, were killed
and many others injured.
They declared that the track was
apparently in good condition, and
could not explain the derailment Of
the train on curve over a steep
embankment near Griffin.
The two victims, Engineer Thomas
III. Gay and Fireman f. c. Pearson,
were both Atlanta men.
In trying to crawl through a broken
window Conductor u. Williams was
badly cut about the face. Fireman
j. p. Flynn had his leg broken.
Others who sustained injuries were
r. l., Wallace, of Kirkwood; r. T..
Richardson, of No. II West Baker
street. Miss Ellen Mooney, of Griffin;
Mr.. and Mrs c. NJ. Young, OF Colum :.
bus, Ga; 0. V. Bronson, of the ATTAIN
Ia General Fire Extinguisher Com
pany, and c. A. Trussell, of No. 1873
Park avenue. this city.
According to passengers, the train
tumbled over without the slightest
warning, and scores of persons were
thrown in heaps upon each other.
Panic followed but cool headed en-
ployees soon got most of the passen-
gers out of their perilous positions.
Eight coaches left the track A spe-
Gal train took the passengers back to
Griffin.
Engineer Gay was one OF the oldest
men in point OF service on the South
ern Railway. He lived at No 682
Washington street. E. G. Pearson,
the dead fireman, was also an old
and trusted employee. He lived at
No. III South Pryor street.
The Pullmans. which were Of steel.
We're not damaged, according to
Southern road officials, and the in
juries received by the passengers
were due to the jar of the derailment.

the aid of the Chambers of Commerce
of Decatur, Charleston, Scottdale and
other towns between Atlanta and

DEEP FLOWING SAVED CROP
FOR MANY FARMERS

Since the August crop report was
issued Commissioner of Agriculture j.
w. Newman said Friday some crops
in certain portions Of the State have
decorated, and it is too late for rain
to help some of them. Hay and wheat
over the State averaged about the u.s.
ual crop and oats is up to the aver
age, but not equal to last year S crop.
Coru and tobacco have suffered, and
it is impossible to estimate how far
below last years crop they will yield.
The reports from many counties
merely said corn and tobacco are
tobacco are burned up. A loss of 40
40 per cent. may be sustained as
compared with last years output.
On this point Commissioner New
man recalled warning he issued to
the farmers last spring, and said that
so far ash had heard, those who
followed the directions of the depart
ment and powed deep and cultivated
continually, keeping the ground stir
red up and conserving the moisture,
have secured practically an average
yield. He has been carrying on a
campaign to secure deeper blowing
and better cultivation, and is taking
pains to ascertain how those who fol-
lowed his advice are faring in this
unusual season.
