the importance of temperance. He
believed that North Carolina was
taking a step in the right direction,
and also believed that eventually the
great- cause would prevail in the
whole nation. He advocated the edu
cation of the children as a means of
breaking up intemperance. He be
lieved that if the children were edu

leges, while it might not be an ab
solute preventative, it would do a lot
of good, and would mean that there
would be less intemperance in all
lines. v

The Jocomotive of No. 38 ploughed
through a third of the length , of the ,
rear . sleeper of the special, a Pull
man of wooden construction, in which
there were 34 passengers, and the
two killed and ten of the injured
were taken from this car. How the
other -22 occupants of the car escap-
ed seems almost miraculous.

Whether there was delay on the part
of the special train flagman in going
back or whether No. 38 was being
operated too close behind the special
is not explained. On that point offi-
cials have tnus far voucnsafed no
explanation. The engineer on No.
38 declared that he had a clear light,
and attributed the accident to a de-
feet in the electric l block signal sys-
tern.
The rear train was running at a
moderate rate of speed, otherwise the
damage must have been much great

the old, wooden type and parted like
kindling. That the": locomotive was
stPPed after passing only a third of
