An extra freight train was wreck

twenty-seven freight cars going thru
the high bridge at that point and
landing in the bottom below. The
train was in charge Of Engineer Bill
Payne and Conductor Wilton Carroll.
The engine, cab and three cars went
across safely, and nine cars with the
cab were left on this side of the tres
tie, the train being North-bound. No
one was hurt so far as reported
This is the second time that Con-
ductor Carroll's' train has gone thru
this trestle. Some eight or nine years
ago the engine of his train went
down with the trestle, his engineer,
Mr.. Hinnant, being injured and the
young fireman, Mr.. Camp, being kill
ed. Hinnant sued the Seaboard at the
time securing a large verdict for
damages at the Greenwood court, and
he has since been out of the employ
of the road. Mr.. Carroll was uninjur-
ed then as he was last night.

BOY SCOUTS TO RESCUE.

The Boy Scouts are active this
Thanksgiving. At the meeting Tues
day evening it was decided to pro-
vide eight dinners for those people
who need assistance at this season.
Accordingly each patrol was asked, to
provide a basket to be sent out to
such family as may be designated. In
order that the people most needy
may have a good dinner on this day
each of the churches of the city was
asked to name family to which a
basket should be sent, and the man.
agement of the cotton mill was asked
to name three families in that sec
ton. The baskets will go to those
designated.

HELP FOR FARMERS
WHEN LAWS COME

Washington, Nov. 23.-Early pas

marketing will be of considerable
help to farmers, it was declared by
the National Board of Farmer Or
ganizations at meeting today to
discuss plans for a farmers con-
ference to be held at St. Louis De-
cember 16. Reestablishment Of the
war finance corporation would also
furnish some relief, in the opinion Of
the board.
Members of the board discussed
among themselves the type of man
who, in their opinion, should be
named as secretary of agriculture
1t was asserted, however, that no in
dividuals were mentioned in this
connection.

CABLE CONTROVERSY
FAR FROM SETTLED
MANY MARINES SICK
OF DETAIL IN HAITI
Would Like To Go Home Or Some
Other Plaee-caused BY
General Barnett

Port au Prince, Nov. 23.-There
is no doubt that many of the 1900
marines on occupation duty in Haiti
are sick of the job. They want to 60
home or somewhere else. It is hard
life for youngsters who are sent into
mountain regions in the north, along
peaks as high as Denver.
Often they are away from post
for weeks, and they declare they un-
dergo many hardships, not the least
of which is lack Of ice in a climate
where ittis absolutely essential.
Since the first session of the
naval board of inquiry at Washing
ton the marines have been hearing
from home folk, anxious to know if
they are taking part in "indiscrimi-
nate killings" This charge, first
made by Major General Barnett,
former commandant of the marine
corps, and then corrected by him,
has gone everywhere, marines assert
declaing that the first statement has
never been overtaken by the correc-
ton. This weeks steamer brought
hundreds of letters, all seeking the
truth about conditions. The marines
contend that they are on rough duty,
and then are held up at home as
rough men with the gun.
Major General Neville, a member
of the naval board of inquiry, in
spected every part of the fighting
plant here and found many things
to commend, but declared it was not
properly equipped. This he found,
was particularly true as to hospital
facilities. There is not an X-ray ma
chine on the island, and naval doc
tors in charge assert they cannot
provide adequate service for the
sick. Appeals for help are said to
have brought the answer that there
were nof unds. Haiti is not a health
resort and there is much disease.

Poland and Russia proper, and 9th

All along the southeastern frontier
cf Poland there is pouring in a per-
feet rabble of refugees, civilian and

fore the advancing wave of Bolshe.

This condition of affairs has caus.
ed grave concern in this city, not.

1t is stated the Soviet government
