2,000 MEN AT WORK
Southern Exerting Every Effort to
Reopen iine Between Old
Fort and Ridgecrest.
Old Fort, Aug. 17.—Old Fort is
a veritable human bee hive. From
Old Fort to Ridgecrest a distance
of about 12 miles, from 2,000 to
2,500 men are at work. The South
ern is trying to bring order out of
chaos. Chief Assistant T. H. Gat
lin, a man of tireless energy, can
be seen every day going up and
down the line directing this large
force of men with his two assist
ants, A. Harriss and B. O. Lackey.
Men have to be fed and housed
which is ^1 done at the expense of
the Southern, in addition to the
wages paid. Sixty days was the
most conservative estimate placed
on getting a train from Old Fort
to Ridgecrest after the washout
July 16.
A work train will go to Ridge
crest 20 days short of the time
fii^st estimated. Work is going on
night and day. Everybody is busy
and the great system employed by
the Southern is being brought in
play to further this work. Trains
are running from Ridgecrest to
Asheville and in a short time after
a work train goes through the reg
ular passenger travel will be re
sumed. There are a few cases of
fever here but so far the situation
is well under control. The rail
road, through their physician, of
fers to all, the new treatment for
the prevention of fever without
cost to all their employes. All
water is boiled.
Fatal Accident and Other Injuries.
Old Fort Sentinel, 17th.
Wednesday, the 16th, was an un
lucky day among those employed
hereabouts on railroad repair work.
After dark J. F. Hodges, a young
single man, fell from the end of
his train below town and a car
wheel crushed his left shoulder.
Immediately Dr. Ashworth, who
was on his way to Old Fort, ren
dered medical aid, and soon there
after was joined and assisted by
Dr. McIntosh. When these phy
sicians realized the seriousness of
the injury, a special trftin was
placed at their disposal to^arry
Mr. Hodges to Dr. Long, a special
ist at Statesville; but notwithstand
ing this train made a record run,
the unfortunate man died from in
ternal hemorrhage before reaching
there. The remains will be pre
pared and sent to his home—Mor
ristown, Tenn.
The same evening after working
hours two ex|ra gang foremen—
Messrs. Hogan and Simpson—start
ed with their gangs down the
mountain to Dendron on a push
car. On reaching mile-post 117,
2 miles east of Dendron camp, some
of the men lost their balance, and
thinking they were about to fall
off, commenced to grasp each other,
and in the excitement jumped off,
but none sustained serious injury.
Of the eight or nine receiving mi
nor contusions and lacerations it is
expected all will be ^n shape to re
sume work in a few days.
The same afternoon dyring the
setting-off of a blast up the moun
tain a fragment of rock struck one
of the gang named J. H. Foster,
employed by the McCreary com
pany, and broke one of his legs.
He resides near Asheville.
Work That is .Worthless.
There stands the fig-tree ih the
vineyard with every incentive to
fruit-bearing—life^ soil, culture
air, sunshine, shower; but we come
to it and find nothing but leaves
does it fulfill its true mission?
Yonder is the candle, several in
ches in length, already lighted
adapted to the candlestick, with
light-giving power suflSicient for
roomful of people; but instead of
flaming from the candlestick it is
overcapoed by the bushel measure
or set underneath the curtained
bed. Of what real value is its
light? .Alas, how many in the
hive of humanity drones, how
many in the nation are but para
sites on the body politic, how many
in the churches are hardly worth
the ink required to write their
names upon the church register?
The work they do is the work of
balancing straws, of blowing bub
bles, of chasing butterflies; a work
that is absolutely valueless to man
to the brotherhood and to God.—
