If Southern train No. 37, Ihe fast hying New York and New Orleans lim ited, had not been running late Tues day evening the death roll of the Southern might be bigger today than It Is. For It was only the little local, No. 26, that struck an open awltch at Tallapoosa, Ala., In the darkness, and the local was not running fast enough to cause a great disaster The switch had been smashed open and set to'cause an accident. But the wreck was just another of those accidents—If this was an acci dent—which show “what might have been." The engine of the local was turned completely over, three cars were derailed and Engineer 8. D. Watkins was thrown nearly 30 feet, alighting In soft ground. Ills flreman, John Clark, was badly hrulaed and cut, hut there were no fatalities. The strange feature of the wreck was shown when the open switch was ex amined. It was found that the lock had been hammered off and the switch set to throw an approaching train on the siding. A little way down the sid ing stood severs! heavy cars, a barrier sufficient to cause a terrible crash, should a diverted train run far enough on the aiding to reach them. A pussenger on the wrecked local told the story of the open switch Wed nesday morning. Hts name la withheld for reasons of Ills own, but here Is his story: No. 26 was running at a pretty good clip, with Conductor Don 8. Walroven, of Atlanta. In charge. She had three light cars on her. As we neared Tal lapoosa ttiAe was a sudden Jerk and a twist and a grind and a Jar and the train stopped mighty suddenly. “We got out in a hurry and fonnd that the engine had turned over and Engineer Watkins had takan a flight through the air. His hand was broken and he was badly shaken up and cut. The flremnn was hurt some. "Then wc took a look at the switch. It was turned to throw the train In the siding. Jammed Into the switch was a plrco of slag about eight Inches square. REV. POUNDS LOSES LIFE .y Special to The Oeo-glan.

Mr. Pounds was a missionary Bap' list minister, beloved by every cltlaon In the county and the terrible end so true end good a man Is a great ca lamity here. Waahinffton, Feb. 13.—The nub- treasury bill for the Southeastern section was, defeated today in committee by a vote of 6 to 5.

Th* three cars were derailed and the track was torn up for 200 yards. Ths ac commodation wasn't running fast enough to hit the cars on the aiding before It Stopped, and thAl tay«d ills smash.

About 160 freight and paste nger rap^ rricntntUrea ef the Southern railway were called together In (lie sasembly room of the Piedmont Hotel Wednesday morning by W. W. Finley, president of the Southern, who sddreesed them >n subject# concerning contact with the general public. Th* representatives were urged to be absolutely fair and Impartial with th* ■hlppers and travelers and to be frank and patient In dealings. This outlining of the policy of thle big system was recognised ae one of the most Impor tant moves made by the management. President Finley left Wednesday aft ernoon for Chattanooga, where he will attend a reception given by the cltlsens of that city In hie honor. Hie address In part follows: President Finlay’s Ad dree*. "Tour duties bring you Into personal and dally contact with the people along the lines of the Southern. rqllwsjr,.and I os oos who has Ailed positions which some of you are now filling propose to speak to you briefly of the relations of freight and passenger agents to the public. Your duties are of a two-fold nature. You owe duties to th* railway company by which you are employed and you owe duties to the public. These double duties do not In any way result In conflict or divided allegiance, for he serve* the railway beat who aorvea th* public best. "The general ofllcera of a railway hay*, unfortunately, too few opportu nities for meeting and talking with the ‘ who are dependent U[ “* man having road, os a rule, contact with th* of rthh-OURTM ments. The policies of the railway are formulated and mapped out by tb* general officers, .but the application of thee* policies to specific transaction* must be entrusted hi the main to men 1n the field. It follows, then, that you have In a substantial sense the reputa tion of the Hnutharn Railway Com pany for fair and lust dealing In your hands. Whether Uu ootnpony shall be popular or unpopular depends In very large measure upon your attitude to ward thf public and upon your treat ment of those doing business with the road. It Is of 'supreme importance, therefore, that you, who dally come Into Intimate personal contact with the pub. He. should bear la mind constantly that It la Ihe unvarying policy of the com pony to be Juat and fair to all allke- to the small shipper and the occasional traveler as wall os to the large shipper and the regular traveler: that you should be perfectly frank In all busi ness dealing*: that you should always be considerate and patient, and that you should do all In your power to make the services of the road aatlafac. lory to those for whom they are per formed. "All clusses of the public should be treated with consideration and be given every possible and reasonable arcom- mndutlnn. Even the man who makes Impossible or unreaaonablr demands should not be dismissed with a curt re fusal. He may not know that what he asks Is either Impossible or unreason able. and u few word* of frank ex planation pointing out to hitn why hla wishes cannot be complied with nmy send him uway a friend of the road Instead of a faultfinder. While every thing possible should be done for tile ncconnnodatlon of those doing business w ith the road, care should be exercised not in promise the Impossible In the way of facilities or services. When failure to fulfill auch a promise fol lows. the man who made It may be able to shift responsibility to the op erating or some other department or officer, but Ihe damage don* to the reputation of the road cannot tie eas. fly remedied. Questions that seem to you to lie trivial may be considered of much Importance by Ihe |»-r»ons asking iheni and they should be an swered v Ith patience and courtesy. (rosy th* Laws. "Tile efficiency of Ihe service ae n whole d-pends upon the efficiency of eoclt Individual official and employee. Every agent and employe* should study his dulles In detail and should under stand thoroughly Just what he Is to do In any contingency that may arise. He should then neglect no detail of his duties, however unimportant II may •eem lo him. for no matter how care fully nnd*nilnu»#ly duties may be pre- scribed bv the general officers, Ih* neg. le -t of some apparently minor detail may lend to atrioua or possibly to disastrous results. Of even more Im portance than a careful observance of .hides prescribed by tbo compuni Is obedience to law. Many of the relations between th" railways and Ih* public are now regulated by Federal anil state statutes, and every nfflrlal anil em pire of the Southern Railway Company mud understand that Its business af fairs are lo he conducted at all iime* In strict accordant* with the laws of th-’- land. No transaction or practice that Is forbidden by the laws can he isTinltteu, and os t am sure you all un derstand. there must be no resort to evasion nf any kind. “As representative*.of Ihe Southern Railway Company you should bear in mind at all tlmea the basic fact that the Interests of the railway and of those served by It are Identical and a.riT* c '’ 'BMC*.
