Vote for good roads.
They who forgive most shall
bo most, forgiven.
Enhance the vnlt c of your
property by voting for good roads
on October 30th.
Counties that pay less taxes
than we do work their roads by
direct taxation.
A well written, neatly display
ed advertismeut is a finger-post
on the thoroughfare of business,
over pointing the wayfare to
your place of business.
Because you are past the road
age is no reason why you should
be oppsed to good roads. Are
you not willing to do something
that will help the coming gener
al after you are dead?
A good udvertifiment is the
lever that moves the world. It
is the doctor of business. When
business is good you need it to
keep it healthy, and when it is
poor you must have it to invigor
ate it.
Let us Fauldingites (as some
call us) set an example on the
good road question and thereby
show to the world thnt we are
leaders, that we are not wil
ling to lag behind an questions of
progress and prosperity.
Some people argue that we had
better wait and see how the al
ternative read law is going to
work in other counties before we
make a start. Does Paulding
want to suck the hind teat forev
er? Why not lead once in a while?
In another column will be seen
an article on good roads. Every
tax payer in the county ought to
read it and study it thoroughly.
This is a more important ques
tion than some people think.
(Good roads means the salvation
and upbuilding of the county.
Everybody in Walton county
should pull for good roads, but
• especially that class of our citi
zens who will have to pull over
bad roads if we continue to have
that kind, very truly remarks
the Walton Tribune. So should
^everybody pull for good roads in
Paulding county'.
Saves Two From Death.
“Our little daughter had an al
most fatal attack of whooping
cough and bronchitis,” writes
Mrs. W. K. Haviland, of Armonk,
Y., “but, when all other rem-
*edies failed, we saved her life
vwith Dr. King’s New Discovery.
Our niece, who had consumption
in an advanced stage, also used
this wonderful medicine and to
day she is perfectly well.” Des
perate throat and lung disease
yield to Dr. King’s New Discov
ery as to no other medicine on
earth. Infallible for coughs and
colds. 60c and.$1.00 bottles guar

SHALL WEHAVETHEM?
Good roads. There is noth
ing more needed than good
roads in Paulding county.
On October the 30th the
people will have an opportu
nity' to express their wishes
for or against this badly need
ed improvement.
Good roads will be more
advantageous to Paulding
county than anything we can
think of. Where you see a
prosperous county or commu
nity you will always find good
roads. Roads where one horse
can draw the load of t wo.
Who does good roads bene
fit? If it isn’t the farmer,
who is it? The man that lives
in the country does more heavy
hauling than any one else, and
it is our honest opinion that
if you will go to the polls and
cast a vote for good roads on
October the 30th you will nev
er regret casting a ballot in
that direction.
We are confident that Dal
las is losing trade on account
of the almost impassable con
dition of the roads leading
from some sections.
There are other towns get
ting a share of Dallas’ busi
ness simply because adjoining
counties offer such induce
ments as good roods, bridges,
etc.
When we get out of the
old ruts and build better roads
that trade that should natu
rally come to us will flow in.
It is very easily seen that
Paulding county could macad
amize her roads at a very lit
tle expense as granite and
other hard stones are in the
most cenvenient and accessi
ble places.
Personally, good or bad
roads makes very little differ
ence to us as our travels are
few. We want better roads
for the general advancement
of our county and town.
If we can once establish
good roads and see the advan
tageaud comfort arising there
from, we will never again op
pose such an important issue
as the alternative road law.
Where is your county pride.

Terrible Wreck
Sunday Morning.
High Trestle on South
ern Railway Over
Pumpkinvine
Train No. 81, southbound on
the Southern railway, bad a few
minutes to get in the clear at
Dallas for No. 18 northbound ves
tibule Sunday morning.
Engineer Jim Nichols opened
the throttle of his monster en
gine on the summit one mile
south of McPherson. Engine 846
never acted better, the big ma
chine moved forward at a terrific
rate with twenty-five cars be
hind. The engineer looked at
his watch and knew that, time
was precious. His hand went to
the throttle again, the engine
bounded farward until the driv
ers were turning at what was sup
posed a sixty mile cliD. Down
the hill the long train Hew.
Pumpkinvine trestle was reach
ed, but alas! never passed. The
train was slowed but not enough,
when the heavy train put the
bridge into vibration the engin
eer noticed an unusual swaying
and made a great effort, to drive
his engine safely across. He
put full steam 011 but to no avail,
the engine had done the work
with its weight, and with a
mighty crash the iron bridge fell,
sending the soul of Fireman John
Fagala into eternity and destroy
ing thirteen cars loaded witli
corn, oats, cotton and apples.
It is supposed that Fireman
Fagala jumped, altlio’ this is not
known as he was standing on the
tank and that portion of the
train went down in the highest
place about 77 feet.
The engine proper staid on the
track as only the north half of
the trestle went down, the tank
was wrung off leaving the engine
on the remaining part of the
trestle.
Six spans of the trestle, which
is one of the longest and highest
in this section, were knocked
down. The bridge is 8(30 feet
long, 77 feet high at the highest
point and consists of eleven
spans.
Fireman Fagala was killed in
stantly whether he jumped or
fell. His neck and right leg
were broken.
Conductor Sorrels and the flag
man were in the caboose and es
caped as that part of the train
was not wrecked.
Some think train wheckers had
removed a rail causing the wreck
while others believe that the
high rate of speed caused the ter-
tible disaster. '
The people of Dallas have nev
er before seen such a horrible
wreck and all day Sunday streams
of people were seen goipg and
coming.
Two wrecking crews reached
the scene about 12 o’clock, six
hours ofter the occurrence, and
more than two hundred men were
clearing away the debris.
The body of the dead fireman
was brought to Dallas and sent
to Atlanta where it was prepar
ed for burial and later sent, to
his home at Varnell, Ga., where
be has a wife and two small
children.
More than 300 men have been
continuously at work repairing
the trestle. The first, train pass
ed over Wednesday morning.
