JERSEY FLIER WRECKED
Heavy Express Train Crashe. Into
Local Near Elizabeth Killing Three
And Injuring Eight

On Wednesday, March 3, the "Phil-
adelphia Flier," an all steel express
train on the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, ran past the stop signals at
Elizabeth Crossing, New Jersey, and
crashed into local train that was
crossing the main line tracks.
William Sell, who was driving the
express, was killed, as were two 9TH
er enginemen, SO it will probably
never be known why he disregarded
the stop signal. Eight other persons
were hurt, several of whom may die.
The theory is advanced by the rail-
road officials that Engineer Sell had
died Of heart disease at his post and
and that his sightless eyes saw no
red signal ahead. In no other way can
the wreck be accounted for, as Sell
was one of the roads oldest and most
reliable drivers and had he not seen
the signal the track was straight and
he could have seen the local crossing
his track in time to have stopped, but
his engine thundered on without an
an attempt at Stacking speed. Her.
man Hahn, ,engineman of the local saw
the approaching express and made
desperate efforts to clear the track.
He succeeded in backing his three
coaches filed with passengers off the
main line, but his engine failed to
clear when the express struck him
Both boilers exploded with the impact
and Hahn and his fireman died at
their posts.

SESSION ENDS
GENERAL ASSEMBLY WINDS UP
SIX WEEKS WORK
SUNDAY MORNING
Much Constructive Legislation En-
acted-Educat ational Institution
Encouraged-Better Roads
Assured-Over $6,OOO,- =.
900 Appropriated

The 1920 session of the General
Assembly closed at an early hour
Sunday morning, after six weeks of
deliberation.
More work was accomplished at
this session, possibly, than at any pre-
vious assembly. This session of the
General Assembly will go down in the
States history as being noted for it's
great constructive results.
The last and most important meas
ure enacted was the appropriation of
$6,O91 ,241.39, for the maintenance
and Improvement of state institu-
tions. Much attention was given to
educational matters and colleges and
schools came in for liberal share of
the appropriations.
The state highway bill was enacted
and while it does not provide for the
building of all the roads the state
needs it is long stride in the right
direction. The bill carries a tax levy
of two mills throughout the state, the
funds thus derived to be spent on
roads in the counties from which it
is collected. This will virtually force
every county to do a goodly amount
of road building. Automobile license
fees were increased and additional
revenues obtained from this source
will be added to the tax money and
the state aid that may be had will
about double the amount that each
county will have for road improve
ment.
1t is estimated that Chesterfield
County will derive from two mills levy
about $4,000 yearly; the automobile
license fees will increase this amount
to about 100000 and state and fed
eral aid will raise the total to about
$4,000. While 100000 is very lit
tie with which to give this county the
road Improvement it SO badly needs,
1t can be made to do much and as it
will come in yearly, it will, in time,
give this county good roads.
The Office of County Supervisor has
been abolished and in it's place the
scfiice-cf County Engineer has been
created. An experienced road build
er will be engaged for this Office.
While the measure recommended
by Governor Cooper calling for re-
survey of the counties in the state,
so as to include many tracts Of land
that do not appear on the tax books,
failed of passage, a resolution was
adopted whereby investigation will be
conducted between now and the next
General Assembly into the tax stu
alton in South Carolina with the in
tention of enacting just and modern
tax laws at the next session.

MASSACRES IN NEAR EAST
Scenes of Butchery, Fire and Pillaee
Comparable toDauties Inferno

The situation in Asia Minor and
the Near East is reported as being
very grave. The Near Eastern stu.
alton loomed up in a particularly
threatening manner with the receipt
at London of dispatches to the effect
that bands of irregular Turkish troops
are mobilizing, apparently spontan.
eously, in Thrace for the purpose OF
resisting by force of arms the de.
clsion of the Supreme Council of the
Peace Conference to turn that prov.
lnce over to Greece. While it is said
no additional allied troops as yet have
| been ordered their reports indicate
that unless the situation quickly i'm
proves such action may soon be re-
gardcd as necessary.
The Cilician massacrcs by the
Turks, now officially admitted, are
| likely to have a serious bearing on
the Turkish settlement. The number
OF ArmenianS maSsacred is admitted
to be at least 5000 and there are in
dlcations that the actual number of
dead may be from 10000 to $4,000,
thousands of wretchcd men, women
and children having pcrished in their
flight through the blizzard which was
raging in the Marash region when
troops as they withdrew from that
section.
1t is said that not since the scipc
of Peliin have foreigners undergone
more nerve-racking experienced than
the seventeen relief workers Of the
American Committee of Relief in the
Near East who were shut up for TWEEN
ty-two days without outside com
munlcation in mission compound at
Marash, during which time thousands
of Armenians were slain by the Turks
The story of these outragcS is told by
Rev. {. T. S. Cathcrn, Il Boston Y. NJ.
Z. A. secretary, who went through the
seige and arrived at Adana on Feb.
Is.
We quote below few extracts
from diary by Mr.. Crathern while
in Marash:
1T was pitiful to see them throw
up their hands and scream while at
tempting to escape. We watched
them fleeing over the hills until they
reached our compound, some drop
ping wounded and others STAGGERING
into the mission grounds with wild
eyes and purple faces, telling of the
awful massacre just beginning
To-day we raised the American
flag, but no sooner had we raised il
to the mast than salute from a doH-
en- guns sent us scampcring to cover.
| just timed thirty-thrce shots in one
minute, Machine guns are pecking
away like giant woodpeckcrs.
''The whole country is a flame of
revolt. While the days are cXcit;n.
the nights are more so, with grca,
guns booming and soldic.S "rccning.
steadily forth with benZinc torches;
and hand grenadcs. Fires are raging
in various sections and the city is
like Dante's inferno"
Latest reports are to the effect That
all Americans in MaraSh are safe.
