The wreck today was the most dis
astrous the Southern Railway has had
since 1904, when sixty or more per-
sons were killed at Newmarket,
Tenn. local officials claim tonight.
It is by far the most serious from
the point Of fatalities that has ever
occurred in South Carolina, they as
sert.
Stopped for Repairs
All the killed and q vast majority
Of the injured were riding in train
No. 18 running from Greenville to
Columbia. Several of the injured
occupied train AZ, which hit train
18. 1t appears that something got
wrong with the air pipe Of train 18
when it got below Frost and it was
stopped on the main line to repair
the damage. Flagman H. Locklier
was sent out, it is said, to protect
the rear Of the train. When the trou-
BILE was discovered and remedied the
Hagman was signalled to come back
to his train, which had just begun
to get under way when the accident
occurred. Train AZ. in charge of Con-
ductor w. H. Golston and Engineer
+. B. Long, running from Spartan
burg to Columbia, came around the
sharp curve at this time and crash
ed into the rear coach of train 18.
Wooden Coach Telescoped
The rear coach, which was of steel
underframe, telescoped the middle
coach of train 18, one Of the old
style wooden coaches. The coach
was crushed from the read end and
the seats were smashed together in
q jumbled mass. The occupants of

a local hospital shortly after seven
o'clock tonight
Both trains, said railroad officials
tonight, were crowded and passen-
gers were without seats. As New
berry College had closed down be-
cause Of the meningitis situation In
Newberry. a large number OF stu
dents from that institution was on
the train, none of them was killed,
but several were slightly injured.
As soon as news of the wreck was
learned in Columbia several hun
dred automobiles went to the scene.
1t was impossible to take the cars
to the wreck but they were driven
up the Monticello road and the oc-
cupants walked three or more miles
to where the accident happened,
They gave all aid possible to the IN
jured and assisted in extricating the
dead from the wreck.
According to railroad officials II
will be impossible to tell the exact
cause of the wreck until an investiga-
ton is held by William Maxwell,
superintendent Of the Spartanburs
division of the Southern, under
whose Jurisdiction the accident &C
Cured This will be held tomorrow
Some Possible Causes.
The coroner's inquest into the
tragedy will be held some time to-
morrow. Railroad officials, the train
crews and a number of passengers
have been summoned. r. L. Hun
gerford, of Charlotte, general super
intendent of the Southern railway,
who came to Columbia tonight, will
attend the inquest, it is said, and
subsequent railroad investigation.
There are several causes which
could be attributable to the wreck
The flagman, under the rules, is re-
Quired to protect the rear Of his
train when it is standing on the
main line. If, after his engineer
blew him in, he did not set torpedoes
on the track to warn train AZ OF the
near proximity of train Is. state
railroaders, he was derelict in his
duty. According to railroad officials,
quoting Engineer J. F. Long, of train
AZ, it is not certain whether he did
or not. 1t is also said that the oper-
ator at Bookman shauld not have al
lowed AZ to pass until train 18 had
been spaced ten minutes. However,
as train 18 had stopped on the main

the coach. all men. were crushed b.
tween the seats. It was In this
coach that the ten instant deaths
occurred and a large part Of the SER
,iously injured hurt. The steel
framed coach was practically unin-
jured, except the ends which were
crushed in to some extent. The COM
biuation coach Of train Is, occupied
exclusively by negroes, was not in
jured and was used to bring the
dead to Columbia this afternoon.
Crashed on Curve.
The accident occurred at a sharp
curve in the road, which at this
point runs between Broad river on
one side and high hill on the 9TH
er. 1t is probable that the engineer
on train AZ did not see the other
train until it was practically on it..
The force of the collision justified the
conclusion.
AS soon as the accident happened
the members of both train crews and
the uninjured Of the passengers be-
gan to assist the hurt ones. Those
who were injured were taken out Of
the wrecked coaches and laid upon
the hillside until another train could
come from Columbia. The hillside
had the appearance Of a battlefield.
Many were lying down, others were
standing and many were seated with
stricken looks on their faces
Relief Train Starts
AS soon as Columbia could be COM
N IN Ino or vii T~lI
intendent Of the Columbia division,
equipped relief train and started
for the scene of the wreck shortly
after 3 o'clock. The train carried
six doctors. The injured and unin-
jured were placed upon this train
and immediately brought to Colum-
bia,. the hurt being placed in the
three hospitals here.
The middle coach Of train Is was
such a mass Of debris that it was
some time before the number OF dead
Fcould be ascertained. The injured
and dead were taken out of the
apertures and the windows of this
car. Five dead bodies were found
in one spot under a mass of wreck
age and another was hanging out Of
the window of the coach Some of
the dead and few of the injured
had to be priced from beneath the
wreckage.
After all the dead were extricated
and laid out in the uninjured COM
bination car. an engine from Colum-
bia brought the cortege to this city,
where the bodies were placed in a
morgue for identification. Only one
OF the bodies was identified on the
train, that of P. Frank Baxter. of
Newberry.
Tonight J. Blakeley Scott coroner
of Richland County, made q thor
ough search of the dead bodies and
ascertained their identities by letters,
cards and various marks on their
clothing.

ably shaken when he had to be pass

had q smile in his face, even though
he had to grit his teeth to keep back

Conductor J. A. Meredith had his

injury he tried to assist the wound
ed on his train and criticised those
who would not allow him to give aid.

Hair Often Ruined
BY Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully, if
you want to keep your hair looking It's
best Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkah. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Just
ordinary mulslfied cocoanut oil (which
is pure and greaselessl, and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. Ii makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rlnses out easily,
removing every particle OF dust. dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft and the hair fine and
silky, bright. lustrous. fluffy and easy TO
manage.
You can get mulsified coooanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few
ounces will supply every member Of the
family for months.

HATS Off TO THIS MOTHER!
BY Hermann HAGEDORN
Of the ViQilantes.

" Su0
Regimental Sergt. Maj. William B.
Jenkins, Three Hundred and Fourth
field artillery, is dead at Camp Upton,
but his soul is marching on. 1t Is a
question indeed whether in death he
may not do more to defeat the Ger
mans than he could ever have done in
life. For his death has brought from
his mother an utterance Of stirring
patriotism that is sure to rouse to
greater effort the defenders Of America
abroad and at home.
Sergeant Major Jenkins came from
Holiday, Tenn, and it is from there
that his mother, Mrs. M. E. Jenkins,
writes as follows to Maj. ]. d. Whit
man:
"Allow me as one who has lived un-
til I am now an old woman to express
to you my thanks and appreciation for
your many courtesies to me as mother
Of Sergt. Maj. William B. Jenkins. l
had hoped my boy would get his
chance In France, but it was not to be,
so am as submissive to his death as
If he had died In the trenches in En-
rope. Please accept my thanks for
all your kindness and to any of his
comrades that were with him in his
sickness. With q sad heart dictate
these lines, but with a quickening pulse
and an accelerated being I look for
ward to the day when victory shall
come to the brave boys who are giving
their lives for our beloved land. I
shall ever love soldier boy. May
Gods blessing be on you"

almost free, loans without interest,
gratuitous seed and wood, and subsi-
dies for building houses. These>facts
are known to but few even in Austria,
although this colonization always had
a very important political significance.
The settling Of Germans in H hungary
where they are known as 'Schwabs,
was started by Empress Maria Theresa
in 1854. She sent 10000 German peas
ants to Hungary, colonizing them near
the Roumanian borders. Today these
settlers in Hungary have increased to
almost 100000"
The many thousand Ruthenians in
Canada and the United States, from
the provinces Of Austria, are wholly
in sympathy with the allies and entire
~ emancfpated from any allegiance to
the former German tyrants. That their
fellow Slavs in the Ukraine have any
sympathy with the kaiser and his
methods is not to be believed. AS q
matter Of fact the president of the new
Republic Of Ukrainia, Michael Krushev-
sky Of Lemberg, was q member of the
German general staff.
