Fitt Mall Tralo Wrecked.
- Charlotte Observer, 11th.
No. 35, the Southern's south bound
fast passenger train, was wrecked last
night at 10:40 o'clock by an open
; switch at the Ozark Cotton Mill, ore
mile north of Gastonia; the engine and
tender and the mail car were almost
demolished; three other cars were de
railed; and four. persons were injured.
These aie: ; . . .
Engineer Zeb Black, of Spartanburg,
S. C, who is badly scalded on. theback.
Fireman Ed. Earle, of Spartanburg,
8. C, who is alightly scajded and
bruised. .
Postal Clerk OH. Burch field, of At
lanta, Ga., who is deeply cut and
bruised about the head and is internally
injured.
Postal Clerk- W. A. Sharpe, of
Greenville, S. C, who received cuts on
the head and had his leg broken.
It seems certain that No. 35 was
wrecked by some person or persons un
known, who threw the switch and then
extinguished the red light of danger. .

Colletin county in bo remote a district
! that not until to-night did the facts
reach Columbia. Lizzie Aiken, a col

killed two of her children by cutting
off their heads with an axe. It i s
said that their; heads were completely
severed from toelr bodies, not a nerve,
vein or other ligament being left to
'connect the, two. It appears that an
effort was made to dispose of the bodies,
for a fire had been kindled around the
corpse of . the younger child. The
woman has been committed fto jail,
and is thought to be insane. Both of
the children were girls, one 5 years of
age, and the other 3. ;, ,

A few days ago a young white boy
slipped into Cook & Foil's store, just at
the supper hour, and succeeded in

Charlotte Chronicle.
The Chronicle was to-day informed
by a mill man that the cotton mills of
Columbia, S. C,, will shut down this
evening until the new crop of cotton
begins to come in. This action is tak.
en on account of the great scarcity of
cotton and the high price of the staple.
This announcement carries with is
peculiar significance on account of the
large number of spindles in operation
in that city and Ihe number of people
who will be thrown out of employment
by reason of a temporary shut-down
of the mills. There are approximate
ly, 22l,tXK) spindles in Columbia, con
suming several hundred bales of cotton
each day.
For some time the Columbia mills
have found it more and more difficult
to obtain adequate supplies of the
grades of cotton needed, and for sev
eral weeks it has been evident that a
suspension of operations would be necessary.
