RIVER ROAD NOTES

Last Sunday, being one of those
"perfect fall days." many took advan
tage of an opportunity for an outing
and judging from the number of cars

the starting point, they all passed

home.
Many are rather unfortunate in hav-
ing hay in the field in time for the
rains of Tuesday and Wednesday.

President Wilson's Red Cross Chri t.
mas Roll CAL Message.

The White House, Washington, d. C.
November 26, 1918.
To the American People:
One year ago twenty two million
Americans, by enrolling as members
of the Red Cross at Christmas time,
sent to the men who were fighting
our battle overseas stimulating
message Of cheer that our people
were of their own free choice united
with their government in the determ--
ination not only to wage war with the
instruments OF destruction, but also
by every means in their power to
repair the ravages of the invader and
sustain and renew the spirit of the
army and of the homes which they
represented. The friends of the Amer
lean Red Cross in Italy, Belgium. and
France have told, and will tell again
the story of how the Red Cross work
ers restored morale in the hospitals,
Ill the camps, and at the cantonments
and we ought to be very proud that
we have been permitted to be of ser
vice to those whose sufferings and
whose glory are the heritage of hu-
manity.
Now, by Gods grace the Red Cross
Christmas message of 1913 is TO be n
message of peace as well as a mes
sage of good will. But peace does not
mean that we can fold our hands. 1t
means further sacrifice. Our member
ship must hold together and be in
creased for the great tasks to come.
=
tentive world that America is perma-
nently aroused to the needs of the
new era, our old indifference gone
forever.
1he exact nature of the future sor-
vice of the Red Cross will depend uu-
on the programme of the associated
governments, but there is immediate
need today for every heartening word
and for every helpful service. We
must not forget that our soldiers and
our sailors are still under orders and
still have duties to perform of the
highest consequence and that the
Red Cross Christmas membership
means great deal to them. The peo-
pie OF the saddened lands. moreover
returning home today where there
are no homes must have the assur-
ance that the hearts of our people
are with them in the dark and doubt
iul days ahead. Let us, SO far as we
can, help them back to faith in mercy
and in future happiness.
AS President of the Red Cross, con-
scious in this great hour of the value
or SUCH a message from the American
people, l should be glad if every Am
ericans would join the Red Cross for
1919. and thus send forth to the
whole human family the Christmas
greeting for which ii waits and for
which ii stands in greatest need.

FATAL WRECK At ELRoD.
Train splits Switch Near Station
and Kills -Four Passengers.

Atlantic Coast Line passenger train
No. 80 due to arrive at Dillon at 6:35
p m, was wrecked just above the
station at Elrod Friday night. Four
passengers were killed outright and
about 25 seriously injured.
The train was running 80 miles an
hour when the locomotive wheels
split switch. The locomotive left
the rails and ploughed it's way
through the soft ground for about
SO yards when it turned completely
over. The engineer did not have time
to jump, but was thrown from the
cab when the big locomotive took
its final plunge and escaped W thout
scratch. The fireman was caught
between the wreckage and suffered
minor burns and bruises.
The cOlored coach was badly
wrecked and it was here that the ia
talities occurred. Four colored pas
sengers were instantly killed and a
score or more injured. The white
coach left the track but plunged
against box car ON the siding VIII re
it came to a standstill and the passen-
gers in this car suffered only a bad
shaking up.
Messers. J. W. Moore, II. b. Tay-
lor and Weiters Byrd were Dillon
passengers on the Inflated train. but
all escaped without injuries Mr..
Moore says the white coach was saved
by its impact with the box car on the
siding. He is of the opinion that if
the box car had not been there til,
white coach would have been badly
wrecked and the fatalities would
have bee nmuch larger.
There was much confusion fellow
ing the wreck. The shouts of the rail
road men mingled with the cries Of
the wounded and the groans Of the
dying. while hystcrical women and
nerve-Shatt"red men ran here and
there looking for relatives. friends or
loved ones. Mothers who had lost
their children were wringing their
hands and imploring the rescucrs to
look for them in the mass of wreck
age. while children who had lost their
mothers were whining pteously and
asking for them.
To add to the horrors of the sit
uation the lights went out when the
train took it's fatal plunge and every
I thing was in darkness.
DR.. Highsmith OF Fayetteville was
among the passengers and as the
wounded were taken from the wreck
age they were carried to the pullman
car where temporary hospital had
been established. Here they were
given first aid and later sent to Fay
etteville hospitals.
1t was two O'Clock Saturday morn
ing before the tracks were cleared.
