Columbia Record.

Union, June 3.-ames Vaughn, B.
J. Vaughn, Miss Minnie Austin and
Miss Laura Austin, all of this county,
were killed this afternoon when the
Carolina Special struck Ford auto
mobile in which they were riding,
when the automobile stopped on the
crossing, at Bonham, little flag sta
ton one mile north of Union. The
accident is one of the worst ever
known here.

Keowen, who were in the same au-
tomobile, were also injured, but not
seriously, and they will recover. They
are being treated here.
The party was driving towards

preached the track and after making
the slight incline, lost it's speed as it
reached the rails. The train struck it

The conclusion when the engine

Gardner stated that the "cow catch
er" was torn off and doubled under
the engine. 1t was merely a matter
Of luck that the engine was not also
overturned, Mr.. Gardner said.
Mr.. Gardner brought his train to a
stand still Immediately after the i'm
pact. Two of the women in the death
car had been caught on the pilot of
the engine and were carried along for

by the engineer and others. The in
jured were ca cied to nearby farm
house and made as comfortable as
possible pending the. arrival of physi-
cans and ambulances from Union.
The accident happened two miles
from Union and medical aid was
soon on the scene. Every possible
service was rendered by the train
men and some of the injured were
carried into Union ON the train.

AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION
SERVICE.

There is danger in using wood ashes
for dryer in the home mixing of
fertilizers says DR.. E Van Alstine,
Extension Specialist in Agronomy at
the University of Vermont and State
Agricultural College. Farmers in
every county of the state will be mix
ing their own fertilizers for use this
spring. Many of the formulas fol-
lowed call for the use of some filler
or DRYER to prevent hardening Of the
mixture when it is allowed to stand
few days before being spread. Peat
and dry dirt may not be readily
available in many cases and some
may be inclined to use dry wood
ashes which are known to be good
for the soil. This would be serious
mistake because if mixed with am
monium sulfate, the alkali in the
ashes drive off ammonia. Ashes added
to stable manure have much the
same effect. The same injurious re-
suit would follow the use of lime as a
filler. When mixed with acid phos-
phate both ashes and lime neutralize
the acid and cause the phosphoric
acid to revert to an insoluble form.
Wood ashes should be saved and
used on the land, and should not be
nut into a fertilizer mixture.
