SEABOARD WRECK.

Seaboard passenger train No.
5, from New York to Atlanta,
was nine hours late in passing
Rockingham last Saturday, due
to a derailment a mile north Of
Apex. The train running so
miles an hour split a switch at
a o'clock Saturday morning, one
mile north of Apex, the tender
catapulted over the engine,
dumping out the engineer and
fireman, and five mail and ex-
press cars were piled up on top
and alongside the engine. The
marvellous part is that neither
the engineer nor fireman were
hurt in the least, the only injury
being to an express messenger
who was bruised.
Hard to imagine such a COM
plete tear-up with a train rush
ing so miles an hour without
even a single person being killed.
Traffic was blocked for IL
hours, and all trains had to be
detoured by way of Cary to Dur
ham to Apex, around the wreck.

the card to his father, T. H. How
ell. The two at once brought the
card to Sheriff Mcdonald at
Rockingham. The Sheriff
phoned the Sheriff at Bennetts-
vile to know if Mr.. McLaurin
was missing. The news spread
over Bennettsville and in a short
while quite anumber of citizens
of that town covered the 40.miles
to Rockingham, and on to the
river where the balance of the
night was spent in dragging the
gully-inlet andriver waters at the
mouth of this gully. The search
was given up at daybreak.
Later in the morning, Tuesday,
it was learned. that a man an
iswering to McLauriu's descrir..
ton had crossed on the ferry,
half a mile below the place Of the
supposed suicide, just before
dark Monday afternoon, and had
hired a car on the Anson county
side of the river to carry him to
Lilesville. This man proved to
be McLaurin. At Lilesv;lle he
bought a ticket fof Charlotte, and
at Charlotte he went the same
night toward Savannah or Allan
ia.
And so the suicide" fizzled
olt. The State bank examiner
examined his bank Tuesday and
found it without a flaw. The
presumption is that he astspring

delivery at such a price that to

ruined him financially. And as
the cotton was being rendered

But instead of drowning himself,
he went to Lilesville, and caught
a train for Charlotte and then on
to Atlanta. On Wednesday he
was apprehended in Atlanta by
a detective, who turned him over
to a relative of McLaurin.' This
relative had him examined at a
Sa1atorium where he was pro-

the Land store. He then came
on through Rockingham and out
towards Blewett Falls, 8 miles
distant, Driving to Eb. Ellerbe's
he inquired the way to the river
dam. He then drove on towards
the river, on the road leading tc
Blewett's grave, and about 1C
minutes later the Car came back
from that direction empty save
for the colored driver.
A few minutes later Sieberi
Howell, who was pulling corn ir
the lowground a couple of hun

grave, observed a slight column
of smoke ascending from a clumI
