When the honest candidate files

to catch the next train back-and
they were lucky if they didn't have to
spend more than two hours watch
ing freight trains go by, while they
were 'side-tracked
Just this experience befell
trainload of people on the Georgia
Railroad, on Wednesday of last
week. From as far as Hancock
County, the people had filled the
train, and it was due in Augusta
at something before noon. 1t was
drawn by an engine that had a hole
in some of it's innards, big enough
to put small sized tree in, and
when the natural fittings refused to
stay in, and all the steam got out,
about seventy-fve per cent of the
men passengers on the train went
forward to see what was the mat
ter. Suggestions Of all sorts were
made, and it was fact that the
engineer had almost made up his
mind to put in a wooden plug, whcD
it happened that negro bIacksnit77
came along, and fitted the parts in,
declaring that ''she could git to
'gusta, if she would hold and she
held, and the train finally did git to
'gusta, with nothing more to mar the
balance Of the journey than two
rests on as many side-tracks to per-
nit freight trains to go by.
To the lay mind, it would seem
that law, enforcing the use of per-
feet material in the construction OF
the road, perfect machinery to haul
the cars, and cars equipped with the
things making for safety and com
fort to the passengers, would not be
difficult to enforce.
Also, a law compelling block sig
nails, and double tracking, would
seem to be absolutely essential, for
the lessening of fatalities on the rail
ways. Underpasses or overhead
crossings for either the trains or the
fO0tWay folk, would also keep the
undertakerS from working so hard
in some communities.
We have had deal of tinkering
with national matters, which seemed
to serve no good purpose; we have
had congresses for the conservation
of everything, from trees to tad
poles-and it wouldn't be a bad
idea now for us to have a meeting or
two to devise ways and means for
the elimination of the railroad
wreck. 1t Will cause a good deal of
agony to the owners Of a good many
railroads, but human life is getting
a little more valuable now, and it is
our Christian duty to save the own
ers from having to pay such heavy
income taxes, by reducing their sur
plus, and putting a few more tracks
on single tracked roads, a few more
heavy rails where there are feather
weights, and few more block sig
nals-or any other signal that will
keep two trains from trying to pass
on the same track.
And it wouldn't be q bad idea to
start something right now.
The story Of the Gear famines"
when there are crops to move; of de-
layed mails, by which merchants
have lost thousands of dollars; of
excursion trains that start and get
somewhere just in time to turn
around and go back-are all too ia
miliar to the travelling public of
these great, glorious, graft-ridden
States, and if their ultimate sum
could be compounded it would wipe
out the National Debt, leave a few
millions to loan Mr.. Iuerta and
then have enough to start a few
banks.

For the past two weeks or more,
there has not been a day that the
newspapers have not had at least one
railroad wreck to adOrn the front
page, and in no one of them was the
loss Of life less than two. In one
the fatalities ran to thirty, and the
others would total fifty.
The reasons given by the officials
Of the companies vary; it has been
more or less the custom to blame
the working members OF the train or
q convenient dispatcher; some
times the dead engineer has been the
one to whom the officials laid the
cause, and if investigation showed
that the engineer had worked twenty
hours at a stretch, that didn't help
the case any-for tho engineer.
In the wreck Of O. New England
road, it was shown that the equip

every day, would break when dropped

sidering the weight OF the engines
and cars, it was a wonder that more
people were not hurled into Eter-

On November thirteenth @ train
in Ohio was derailed, and five pe0-
pie were killed, with several more
badly injured; in Alabama, on the
same day fifteen were killed outright,
and a number SO badly injured that
their death was only a question Of
agonizing hours.
Statistics for the railroads in

Last week there were fairs in
nearly every County of any size in
the States of the South. 1t is the
time Of year when the farmer and
his family can take time off for a

success, and the railroads have
added thousands of dollars to their
profits, in hauling it to market.
The farmer has also taken some
Of the money he secured for the
cotton, and he has been willing to in
vest it in railroad tickets, to go to
the Fairs. For weeks the railroads
have plastered the postofIices, the
railway stations and the walls Wher-
ever they could with announcements
of these Fairs-and their interest
has stopped at the selling Of the
tickets.
1t is a positive fact that some of
the rolling stock, and some of the
schedules which the trains have run
on, would not be Ierated on a cat

VEGETABLES, FRTITS, AT FAIR

The most favorable season for fruit
and vegetables that Mississippi has
known in years is sure to have its ef-
feet in the culinary department. as it
is said more products of this kind have
been canned and put in jars this season
than at any previous time. This de
partment is one which the ladies have
taken pains to develop gradually each
year, and is in the care of Miss Frances

and jars of fruit and exhibited by lin

enlarged to an extent that attracts not

ties, but mere man" himself, whose
mouth is sure to water at the sight OF
the delicious jars of fruits and condi
