Cm So 5ne Else is Hurt Officials Be lieve llieTrala Was. Wrecked. At 10:30 o'dock yesterday the Southern's passenger train No. 39, southbound, came to signal grief at Clifton, eleveti miles hist side of Spartanburg, S. C. The The engineer, C S Gauble, or Freonville, S. C, received a bad cut on the.head and his colored fireman, Al Carter, also of Groen ville, wai painfully scalded on the leg ; the engine was damaged beyond hope of repair, but be yond these casualties no one was injured nor was the damage material. Statements made by Southern Railway officials last night iudi cated that they believed that the wreck was the result of a delib erate attempt to wreck the train. Engineer Caublo says that he was 'running at a pietty rapid rate of speed when he saw just ahead of the engine a pile of rocks and railroad spikes on the tracks. Before he could check the speed of the engine it had struck the spikes and the wheels of the front trucks had left the track. The engine ran for 500 feet on the cross-ties before it turned orer, and the engineer and fireman pluckily stayed in their seats until the engine start ed to turn, when they jumped, escaping without serious injury. The engine and tonder, one combination baggage and pas senger car and two passouger cars first and second class were derailed, but none of the occupants of the cars were at all hurt. Tho track was cleared in a short time and tho passengers resumed their journey. Char lotto Observer of 15th. IlaDdsome Profit n Real Estate. A few years ago Col.

By his close appli cation to work he has won tho highest confidence of those in authority over him. His promo tion proves the position he holds with tho road. Durham Herald of 13th. Good Road the Thing:. No tax is paid more cheerful ly, if the money is wisely used, than a road tax. The results are felt by every one. Good roads into a city facilitate, business for the merchant and business men and increase the value of farm lands. Good roads at the same time are the best feeders for tho railroads and there is no line of eiadeavor which does not reap a benofit. We trust that tho Good Roads Association so auspicious ly begun will push forward tho work and accomplish much good for North Carolina in the near future Raleigh Times. j-i SETEN KILLED MY A MOULDER.
