A FREIGHT WRECK.
Several Cars Derailed in Front of the
Bleachcry SuuIay Xiglit Cotton Mill
Machinery Damaged Four Cars
Thrown Off of the Track.
On Sunday night about 12
o'clock as the third soction of No.
73, a southbound freight train,
was just in front of the blcachery
on the main line, going at a
good rate of speed, a wreck of
several cars occurred. ( It is sup
posed that it was caused by the
trucks of one of the cars giving
way.
No ono was hurt but the track
was. torn up somewhat and sev
eral car loads of material dam
aged. One of the demolished
cars was loaded with railroad
iron, another with an iron bridge
and the other two which were
thrown from the track were
filled with cotton mill machinery.
The machinery is badly dam
aged, as it is small machinery
which requires tho best of treat
ment. Three other cars wero
somewhat tlamaged but these
were not thrown off of tho track.
In order to let tho trains pass
as quickly as possible tho cars
were thrown from the track
down tho large fill and over on
the side track. Tho" working
train reached hero in a few
hours after tho wreck and was
at work. All debris was re
moved from tho track and rails
laid for the passenger trains
which were in waiting here, so
that they passed over shortly
before 0 o'clock in the morning.
Mr. Will Kizziah, of this place,
was the engineer but was in no
