FREIGHT TRAIN WRECKED ON WESTERN. VNft H Mt Ml Mfv H Mt s ft ; ooooooooooooo ooooooooooooo Crashed Through the Bridge atSec.ond Creek, Near Cleveland Early Friday Morning. Fast freight No. 30, West-bound; was wrecked at Second creek, two or three miles this side cf Cleve land, about 4 o'clock Friday morning and the track was block ed until Sundav afternoon. Trains were detoured by Charlotte and by Winston-Saleri Greensboro, and traffic was delayed. The train was making good time when it struck the bridge. One of the cars jumped the track sidewise and the following cars struck it with such momentum as to hurl it from the bridge into the creek, The engine and several cars were safelv overand remained on the - track, but three went into the water and tore one end of the steel bridge down as they fell. No ope was hurt. 1 The Salisbury correspondent kf the Charlotte Observer gives this account of the wreck : ' , "It was one of the worst wrecks on the Western road for years. The bridge is a mgnificent struc ture and spans (he creek, either end resting securely upon granite pillars. The down grade is a heavy one and this train was well car crossed the track in an angu lar way the othera hit and J 7 were hurled down a very steep embank ment. Nearly all of these were , loaded with lumber and the loss in the destruction of property is not so great. All the cars that left the the track were reduced al most to shavings and in some in stances the mechanical parts of the cars can be used further only as scrap stuff. Five cars on one side and two on the other of the bridge, went into the water dammed it for hundreds of yards. One car in the creek was filled with corn and this was a total loss. This is this the only one whose con tents were destroyed. Another was loaded with cotton but it will be saved. ''The bridge suffers worst of all. The. end towards Statesville is knocked from the pillar and rests in the stream. No attempt has been made to lift it back to the original foundation but wooden mock work has been put for tem porary use. The moment the last spike was driven in the Sunday afternoon a I ig hog freight engine made two trial trips over the shaky structure and pushed the cars that remained on the track Friday, morning back to Barber Junction. Capt. Tom Murphy then took his heavily loaded pas senger train across at snail pace." 0 1-3 i Jill i-i i-i t-J 'uui.n.n- 1 no h nrairaTf u ilblffllrttM O i ' Put Your Money in a Bank. - Speaking of banks reminds us that there are yet some people in this country who have a little money on hand and consider it safer in the bureau drawer, in old stockings, or under the bedclothes than it would be in a bank. In this idea of the safe-keeping of money they are directly opposed to the ideas in practice by the Easiness world. The men who have most risks with money that is, those who have most money to risk, always desposit iti in bank for safe-keeping. If the most suc cessful business men adopt this as the safest plan, surely a man with only a small amount of mney can safely afford to follow such example. 4 Don't keep your money at home. It's not safe there and it makes it more risky for your own personal safety. A burglar who, is mean enough to rob you of your money is mean enough to kill you, if it's necessary to get it. If you deposit it subject to check you don't have to even go to the bank for it, but you take your check book and write a check for any amount not exceeding the amount of your deposit, and any business man will accept it as same as cash. Banking is the business way, the sensible way, and the safest way of keeping money. Marshville Home. - Has Stood the Test 25 Years The old, original Grove's Taste less Chill Tonic.
