RE,1oDELED HAND OAR JUMPS
Track on Blue Ridge, killing Ono
and Injuring Three.
(Anderson Daily Mail.)


A motor-driven lever car, occu-
pied by five railroad section foremen,
jumped the track near the one-mile
post on the Blue Ridge railroad east
Of Bolton Sunday afternoon, killing
one and injuring three others. The
men were:
w. Arthur Mcdonald, section fore
man, from Hodges, killed by having
his head crushed.
J. H. Dunn, section fireman, Bel
ton. two ribs broken.
G. e. Pitts, section foreman, Chap
pels, bruised on nose and shaken up.
j. G. Robertson, section foreman,
Williamson, hand and face scratched
and bruised.
b. e. Smith, not hurt.
Men Wero JOY Riding.
According to William Archer, SUI
perintendent Of the Blue Ridge rail-
road, the men were using the car
without permission, having taken it
out to show some Of the visiting fore
men the working Of the machine.
The brotherhood Of section roremen
met yesterday afternoon at Bolton,
Dunn told Mr.. Archer this morning.
Mcdonald asked which Of the fore
car. rhe machine he referred to was
lever car, upon which had been
mounted a Ford engine. This gave
a powerful motor car for the section
foreman's use, capable Of a speed Of
about 35 miles an hour. Some fifteen
foremen went down to the Blue
Ridge yards to look at the outfit, and
Dunn started up to give four Of the
men trial ride On the machine.
They went about two miles out to-
ward Anderson and turned back to-
wards Bolton. When they reached
the one-mile post Of the Blue Ridge
the car was derailed, with the disas-
trous results.
That the machine was being oper-
ated at high rate Of speed is evil
denced, said Mr.. Archer, by the fact
that when it left the rails it jumped
about five ties before it struck the
ground and continued along the ties
until it turned over.
Mcdonald was thrown out Of the
car, upon the track and in front Of
the car. One Of the wheels Of the
car struck his head as the car passed
his body, inflicting horrible wound
OIL his skull. The man was placed in
a passing automobile, still alive, and
a record run was made TO Anderson.
The patient died, however, just as
the car reached the outskirts of the
city and before he was ever taken to
the hospital.
Mr.. Mcdonald is survived by his
wife and two small children. Mrs.
Mcdonald came on to Anderson last
night, thinking that her husband was
here in the hospital.
Dunn is resting easy this morning,
and no serious trouble is expected in
his case. None Of the others was Sc
riously hurt.

GETTING STAND or ALFALFA
Iowa Farmers Secure Best Fields by
Seeding During August and
Without Nurse Crop.

Experience of many Iowa farmers
and Of the Iowa agricultural expert
ment station Is that the surest method
of getting stand Of alfalfa is to seed
during August without nurse crop
on land which has been plowed In
early summer and cultivated at ten
day intervals to kill weeds and con-
serve moisture. Objections to this
method are that the land does not
yield returns during the season pre-
ceding seeding, that it requires ad.
ditional labor, and that grasshoppers
frequently damage the alfalfa con-
siderably on small acreages. However,
general experience in Iowa justifies
the method above suggested as 1t pro-
duces the best fields of alfalfa.

Keep the hand cultivator going to

out of the vegetable rows. The best
time to kill weeds is when they have

will do this as well as conserve mOis-

Chamber Of Commerce, Tuesday issued
statement regarding the campaign
OF that organization to keep beggars
off Atlanta streets, in which he stated
hat 1t was not the purpose of that or

solicit in the streets of Atlanta. He
said that in view of this fact the police

NEW YORK, Aug 12.-Add to the
list OF idols smashed to snithereens
by the efficiency of modern science
that quaint institution Of American
rural life-the ''little red schoolhouse"
now denounced by educational ex-
perts of Columbia University as "a
danger to national progress"
Experiments conducted for the past
year in a tiny school in Warren Coun-
ty, N. J., have proved to DR.. Fannie
Dunn, of Teachers College, Columbia,
that the problems attending the evils
of the cult of the little red school
house" as DIR. Dunn calls it, can be
solved by the same methods that nave
brought progress in teaching the
young of the cities how to shoot.
Teachers OverWorked.
Forty -four pupils attended the ~
pical school house in Warren County,
which was seven miles from a trunk
line railroad, two miles from a posto1-
flee, and out in the open country. "A

similar schools in the United States

Gators say. They hope to cut the
number to 10000. Changes that seem
appallingly revolutionary to Amerl-
cans who remember the rigid, plas-
ter-cast demeanor that was exacteo OF
every country schoolboy who was
forced to attend the little red scnool-
house Of years ago, are recommended
for those one-teacher institutions that
will remain. Unrestricted movement
about the room, the installation Oh
pupil helpers for the teacher, more
chubby spirit among the youngsters,
and the application of the "automat

from the school library, are part OF the

County tests.
