Some 30 years ago the rail- '
roads in Germany turned from
wooden cross ties to iron and
steel ties. In recent years they
have been going back to the
wooden tie because experience '
has shown that, when properly
creosoted, it is le3s expensive
and more satisfactory than the
metal tie. The reason why
wood cross ties have held their
position in competition with J

constructed so as to yield to t

Alex Swain, Prominent Far- N

Was Killed Instantly Friday
When Struck By
Rotten Pine Tree
N
CORONER CALLED
TO VIEW BODY
Ii
Death Was Due To Accident
Which Occurred
When Tree He Was
Cutting Broke And
Hit Him
The body of Alex Swain, re- f"
spected and widely known farmer
ivho lived on the north western
outskirts of Southport, was found jj"
under a fallen lightwood tree beside
a stream near his home FriJay
afternoon by Thalia Jackson,
aid colored woman who acted as
lis cook and houskeeper. She was fl
an her way to her own home at
the time, after preparing Mr.
Swain's noonday meal.
The Jackson woman reported
that she had left the Swain
lome at 9:30 o'clock that morn- 11
ing to go to the nearby home -f
af W. T. Fulwood. Returning at J1'
II o'clock, she prepared Mr. J1
Swain's dinner and tidied up the '
house. At one o'clock, with Mr. 1
Swain not having returned, she
supposed he had come to town '
anri eV?o niAflpH the house and
started to her own home, dis- w
covering the body directly beside "
the path.
Aid was quickly summoned and a
It was obvious to all who visited
the scene that he had been en- 'r
Imaged in cutting down a small,
lead lightwood tree. When the ^
job was nearly finished the rotten
tree snapped off about five feet ir
ibove where he was chopping and
crashed down on him. One side ir
jf his face, his left arm and g,
chest were badly crushed. tl
Coroner John G. Caison view- h
;d the body and ruled that death f!;
resulted from an accident.
Mr. Swain was 63 years of age | _
md was unmarried. He and his 1
family have been prominent in "
the history of Southport. The ony
surviving members of the immediate
family are a brother,
Pred Swain, of Southport and a
lister, Mrs. Frank Williams, of G
Jacksonville, Fla.
Funeral services were conductid
from Trinity Methodist church j
Sunday afternoon by Rev. R. S. j

,, i jje
son may be had from the follower
ing figures supplied by Post"ily
master, L. T. Yaskell.
'n8 There were 24,000 1-cent and
X li -cent stamps sold, meaning
that there were that many cards
mailed (for these denominaUons
are the popular Christmas card
postage). No figure is given for
3-cent stamp sales, so possibly anQ
other 1,000 cards were sent that
way.
There w;re 600 insured pack
ages sent out, and the postmaster
' estimated that only about one in
* ' five was insured. That means that 1'
the packages probably totaled
en 2,500 pieces. ,
Despite this unprecedented 1
Christmas rush, Mr. Yaskell says
that everything was handled in
LR an orderly manner and that never j
before did patrons or tne onico
^ show a finer spirit of cooperation.
. As evidence that this was appreciated,
on at least two different
occasions a voluntary delivery
service was instituted by the local
postmaster for the convenience of
some who had been victimized by
for late packages from mail order
the houses.
