over BANK;
twelve DIE
Three Coaches, Crowded With Ex-
cursionists, Derailed and
Smashed.
HUNDRED MORE ARE HURT.
Citizens of Alabama Town Turn
Homes Into Hos
pitals.

| Eutaula, Ala, NOV. l4.-IWelFe
persons were killed and more than
100 injured, some of them fatally,
early yesterday when three coaches
of a Central of Georgia passenger
train left the rails at point seven
teen miles south of here and plung-
ed down a steep embankment.. The
train, which consisted of five cars,
crowded with excursionists, was en-
route from Ozark, Ala, to Eufaula,
where fair is being held. The iden-
titled white dead are:
Pomp Outsey, superintendent Of
the Barbour county poor house at
Clayton.
Monroe Floyd, Clayton.
Miss Bonnie Brock, Clio.
Curb Bell, Clayton.
Mrs. Laura Wilkinson, Clio.
Mrs. Wilbur Mclean, Clio.
Child of B. F. Brock, Clio.
Walsh McRae, 20, Clio.
Mrs. Alto Adams, Elamville.
Saick Paik, Clayton.
The bodies of two unidentified
white persons and three dead ne
groes also were taken from the
wreckage.
Among those who escaped with
minor injuries was Jefferson D. Clay
ton, a wealthy Alabaman and broth
er Of Congressman Henry D. Clayton
of this state.
A broken rail is said to have caus-
ed the accident. AS the crowded ex-
cursion train rounded curve the
three cars at the rear, packed with
passengers, suddenly left the track
and breaking away from the others
rolled down the steep embankment.
The coaches were demolished.
Occupants of the two coaches
which remained on the rails immedi-
ately bent their efforts to rescuing
the hundreds who were caught in
the tangled mass of wreckage. Word
of the disaster quickly reached Clay
ton, Ala, three miles away, and re-
lief trains bearing surgeons and
nurses were dispatched from Ozark
and Eufaula, where many of the
dead and injured later were taken.
Many of the victims were cared
for at Clayton, where the citizens
turned their residences into emer-
gency hospitals. All the physicians
within radius Of many miles hur-
ried to the scene and assisted in car
ing for the injured. So large was
the number of victims, however, that
available space at Clayton soon was
exhausted and many were placed on
cots on porches and in front yards.
Because of the isolation of the
place where the wreck occurred and
the confusion which prevailed. iden-
tification of the dead and wounded
was slow. Not until last night were
the names of majority of those
killed known with certainty.
Many of the injured were brought |
here last night from Clayton, those
most being rushed to To-
cal hospital by special train. 9th
ers were transported by automobiles,
carriages and other vehicles. A ma
jority of the injured received only
painful scratches and bruises from
splntered woodwork and cuts from
flying glass.
Railroad officials issued state
ment last night in which they as
cribed the wreck to a broken rail. It
was announced that an investigation
would be made.

The interesting item that Enrico Ca

season was an open question and

ldleness is the assassin of love-
Work nurtures love-work is a tonic
Tor weakened heart strings. restoring
health to depleted diseased affection.
just as work brings strength and vigor
to the physical being
There you have an expert DIAGNOSIS
and antidote by Probation officer Sid
ney j. Coogler, Atlanta's official lob
setter.' Officer Coogler has obtained
JOBS for more idle men probably than
any other one man in the whole of the
United States, and he ought to know
what he's talking about
His record is 1900 men placed in good
JOBS within the last five years-an av-
erage Of 800 each year.
This means that he has aided in driv-
ing the wolf from the door and brought
succor to hundreds of women and chill
dren-dependent families of this re-
markable number of husbands and ia
thers he has rescued from the perils of
idleness.
Has Seen It Work Both Ways
1t is this extensive experience and
the continual rubbing up" against the
Coogler his opinions and caused him to
regard work as such a panacea for
heartaches and the decline Of love.
He has seen homes wrecked through
the fdleness Of husbands and it's con-
sequent evils, and then again he has
seen ltfeless love retingle and glow and
the whole system of affection become
rejuvenated under the magic Of work
and it's attendant joys.
In the opinion of Mr.. Coogler. idle
! ness serves to discourage a man and
convert him into an easy victim of
temptation. and at the same time lead
to fatal disgust, uneasiness and unhap-
piness on the part of wife. HIS dag
nosis convinces him that this combina-
ton of undesirable elements in the
home life proves devastating to the
heart. overpowering and throttling the
tender love cords.
Cure For Dependency.
81 have found that work is one Of the
| most etficacious remedies in curing men
Of dependency and in rescuing them
from the wreckage of lost home love-"
said Officer Coogler today. "Idleness
| invariably brings on a complication Of
troubles that ultimately ends in the
Gripping of love and the wrecking Of
| homes
when men become idle, many of
them begin loafing about saloons and
pool rooms: they become susceptible to
other temptations, fall into the mire of
dependency, and begin to neglect their
families and their homes. The wife is

friction arises-especially if the hus-
band spends his idleness away from

forth. BY this time, the warmth Of

But work still remains as a healing
salve. have seen numbers OF in

Advertising and
Local Paper

The relation of the local pa
per and the advertiser should
be congenial, as one is more
or less dependent upon the
other. When the advertiser
places advertising in the local
paper he expects results. The
newspaper when it accepts ad-
|l yertising promises in effect
that the paper ,has a local cir
culation commensurate with
the rate charged.
Advertising should be given
in good faith as it is accepted
Hin good faith. 1t is purely a
business transaction. 1 h e
newspaper sells its space or
| services, to the advertiser, just
as any one sells any other COM
modify.
/ There are three things for
i the advertiser, to bear in mind.
/ First, he should map out a
H systematic advertising cam
paign and be persistent in car
rying it out. Second. he should
/ prepare his advertisements so
they are attractive, interesting
and convincing. Third, he
must back up his advertising
campaign with good service,
or he cannot expect to hold
his trade and get the best re-
suits out of his advertising.
The advertiser must realize
that all responsibility for the
preparation of the advertise
ments are with himself. If
II the advertisements have no
merit no results should be ex-
Il pecten. 1t is ridiculous to
blame the newspaper when
neither the advertisements nor
II conditions warrant results.
II There is no one more inter-
ested in seeing advertisements
profitable than the newspaper,
as the advertising in the paper
Is what makes the publication
of the paper possible, thus aid
H ing in the dissemination of To-
cal news, the creation of local
interest, and the building of
the local community all Of
which is necessary to the sue
cess of local business.
II On the other hand there
| should be no one stronger in
his friendship for the local pa
per than the local advertiser.
The local newspaper is the
best friend the local advertiser
has. Hence the local paper
should not be treated as an
enemy, but rather as a friend
and semi-partner in the task of
\ business getting.
