Somebody's BIunder

Shortly after 7 o'clock Tuesday
morning in a head-on collision be-
tween trains No. | from Memphis
and train No. a out of Nashville
meeting at Harding Station, five
miles or a little more South of
Nashville, 1875 persons were killed
and many more injured, a majority
of whom were negro laborers from
Memphis, enroute to Nashville to
find work at the Hadley Bend Pow
der Plant. Responsibility for the
accident has not yet been fixed.
The collision occurred on the
sharp, steep grade at what is known
as Dutchman's Bend. In some Of
the coaches carrying the negro la
borers the seats were all filled and
many were standing in the aisles.
Among the killed were three or
four soldiers, marine and navy re-
cruits, and Newton M. Vanderbrook,
of Jackson, is reported among the
fatalities
Investigation Of responsibility for
the horrible occurrence was at once
ordered from Washington.

Judge Roberts
Home People
Solid For Him.

1t is a mattee of frequent COM
ment among the friends and sup
porters of Judge Roberts that no
man ever offered for an office in
Tennessee who had behind his can
didacy such an active, hearty and
unanimous support as his home
people are giving him in his race
for Governor. In the counties COM
prising Judge Roberts chancery d.
vision where he has held court and
where he is best known, and also in
the adjoining counties, especially
those in the Fourth congressional
district, his majorities will undoubt-
eddy be the biggest ever given a
candidate for a state Office. We
have recently been in a number OF
these counties and we have taken
the pains to obtain information from
reliable sources in the other coun-
ties and the news is the same from
all of them. Solid for Roberts
Take this (Smith) county as an ex-
ample. With a democratic strength
of $500 Judge Roberts will easily
get IS per cent of the entire vote
cast, and some say SO per cent.
And this rule will hold good in
most of the other counties. There
are about 10000 democratic votes
in the fourteen counties of this
chancery division, and no we'll in
formed person would estimate Rob-
erts' majority at less than 10000.
In Sumner. Wilson and Rhea,
counties not in this chancery divis-
ion, but in the Fourth congressional
district, his majority will be over
whelming, so that in the II coun-
ties it would be safe and conserva-
tive to say that Roberts will re-
ceive over both opponents about
10000 majority in these counties.
Advices from Overton, Putnam,
White, Cannon. DeKalb, Clay, Jack
son and all the rest indicate that
the people are practically unit for
Roberts. These figures may seem
extravaeant to those not knowing
the facts but any well informed
man in this section Of the state will
readily verify them. The situation
is most gratifying to Judge Roberts
friends and the figures speak vol
lmes in his behalf. Carthage
