A BIG WRECK ON
CENTRAL RAILROAD
DAMAGE WAS SIS, 100000 WHEN
TEN FREIGHT CARS AND CON-
TENTS WERE DEMOLISHED.

A bad freight wreck occurred early
Friday morning at the passenger de
pot in Montezuma, when ten loaded
freight cars were smashed into
splinters. 49,,
One of the cars was thrown with
in a few feet of the Montezuma no
tel. and it is said many people in
the neighborhood thought a cyclone
had hit the town. Among the freight
destroyed were ten new automobiles,
which were totally demolished. 1t is
estimated that the damage amounts
to fully $4,000.
A negro hobo was occupying one
of the cars when the crash came, and
it is said he lit out down the track
and was never seen again.
The tracks were blocked until late
in the afternoon, and then only one
track, a siding, could be used for
traffic. AS a consequence the pas
senger train due at Dawson at 6:37
in the morning was delayed 10 hours
and did not arrive here until about
4 o'clock.
The engineer of the wrecked train
stated that he was making only about
twelve miles an hour when the acct
dent occurred.

The next quarterly term of the
CITY court. which will will convene
next Monday, will have an unusually
light docket, both civil and criminal
Litigation seems to be almost a
thing of the past in Terrell county
as only the remarkably small number
of four civil suits have been tlled
since the last term of the court. None
of them are of special interest or IN
portance.
However, two damage suits which
were tried year ago and which were
stubbornly fought by both sides VIII
come before the court again, Judge
Edwards having granted new trials
One of these is that of Mrs. Hattie
McNair against the Seaboard Air
Line railroad for the death of her
husband, B. w. McNair, who was
killed by passenger train on August
-. 1917. while crossing the railroad
track near Dawson. Mrs. McNalr
sued the Seaboard for 100000 ana
in April, 1919, was given a verdict
bv the jury for $500 The railroad
company made a motion for a ne"
trial, which was granted.

PALMER SUPPORTERS ARE
SECURING PLEDGE OF VOTERS
About 135 Have Signed List for
Pennsylvania. Senator Smiths
Friends Confident.

Although the preferential presiden-
tial primary will be held next Tues
day, only one week from today, very
little interest has been manifested IN
the campaign so far. The voters gen
orally seem indifferent, and the indl-
cations are that a small vote will be
polled.
So far friends of Mr.. Palmer OF
Pennsylvania have shown the greater
activity. Judge J. A. LANG and Hon.
R. R. Marlin have circulated list for
signatures pledging support to Pal
mer, and Judge Laing informs The
News that about 1875 names have been
procured as a result of the canvass.
Senator Smiths friends have made
no canvass, but they express them
selves as confident that he will carry
the county, as he has in all his former
campaigns.
Thomas E. Watson, the other can
didate in Georgia, also has admirers
in the county, and will receive some
votes.
The polls will be opened at all the
precincts in the county next Tuesday.
