6 GEORGIANS DIE
UNDER DIXIE FLYER
Bodies of Victims Are Carried
200 Yards On Pilot Of En-
CINE After Accident

DALTON, Oct. Silk persons
were instantly killed Tuesday after
noon when the engine of the Dixie
FLYER" of the N. C. and st. L. rail
road crashed into an automobile IN
which they were riding. The ma
chine was struck while passing over
the public crossing of the Dixie high
way at Crown Cotton mills, just be-
yond the city limits OF Dalton.
The dead are:
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Johnson and
their 7-year-old son; Lester Chas-
tain, Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis Quinn. All
are well-known residents of Whit
field county. Mr.. Quinn is form
er railroad employee.
All the occupants of the automo-
bile met instant death in the coilisl-
on except Mrs. Quinn, who was
rushed to local hospital. She died
Immediately after reaching there.
With such force and directness
did the oncoming train strike the
, car, that some of its occupants were
carried about 200 yards on the pilot
! of the engine, while the bodies Of
the rest were hurled several yards
from the tracks. The automobile
was completely demolished.
A survey of the grade crossing at
which the smash occurred is being
made for the purpose Of building an
underpath, thereby eliminating the
crossing.
Homer Dawson, 65 engineer of
the Dixie Flyer and who resides at
120 Lee street, in West End, was
completely broken up over the acct
dent. He tottered from the cab,
when the engine pulled in 25 min
utes late and made his way to the
station numbering all the while,
at certainly was terrible"
at surely was bad" was just
about all that the engineer who has
worked for the Louisville and Nash
vile railway for over As years could
be persuaded to say.
The car with it's six occupants
sped up on the raised track at about
25 miles per hour, he said. They
made no halt before attempting
to cross the track as far as he was
able to ascertain, he said.
The Dixie Flyer was speeding
along at 40 miles an hour, he de,
clared, when suddenly he heard a
crash and realized that he had hit
something. Neither Dawson nor the
fireman, Homer Young saw the car.
which approached from the lett, he
said.
When he heard the noise of the
crash, Dawson said he put on all
brakes, and brought the train to
stop within a trains length. Two
of the occupants had been thrown
from the autimobile and instantly
killed he said. The other four wera
carried in the car on the pilot of the
engine until the train stopped

 curing Carnegie award for George
 who lost their lives q week ago Thurs
 day in the Marine Lamp Co. pond in | Forestrile in a futile attempt 10 save
 the life of 6 year old Helen Baldega. | The matter has been discussed in
 Plainsile, Forestyille and Bristol and the members of the piainvillc Cham Der of Commerce feel that because of the fact that the two men were resi-
 dents of the town at the time of their death, the local chamber should take
 the initiative and head the movement.
 Ii is expected that a committee will
 be appointed this evening 10 take hold of the matter and quick developments
 are expected from it.
 AS far as is known, there are two strict requirements which must be met
 in securing an award of this sort. One is that the person or persons perform ing the act of hcroism, be in no way related to the one who Is in dangor, and the other is that evidence must he shown that the men realized that they were in danger in attempting to make the rescue. The Bradleys were in no way related to the Baldega girl and the fact that they went on the ice after the girls father and another man fell through. shows that they must hay known that they also would go through,
