RAILWAY MEN TO DINE
WITH THE PRESIDENT
(By Associated Press)
Washington, DC.. May 9.—Fif
teen of the leading railroad execu
tives of the country have Been In
vited to a dinner conference bn
May 20th, at the White House to
dtscusa rate adjustments.
Seven open cars and one tank car
filled with phosphate were derailed
close to the A. C. L. crosslg from
the Boston road to the County Farm,
at about midnight. The cars were at
tached to freight train, No. 212, and
were close to the engine. The first
car to come off was a box car loaded
with phosphate, the tanker following,
and then six open cars that qre used
for carrying coal and gravel, all empty.
The track was torn up for a dis
tance of about a hundred yards and
the switch leading into the siding at
that point was demolished. The en
gine was not hurt and It came tc
Thomasvllle and reported the accident.
The wrecker from Waycross soon ar
rived on the scene and began the work
of picking up cars and laying track.
It was expected that the wreckage
would be sufficiently removed to al
low the passage of trains this morn
ing. The wreckage was a very Inter
estlng sight, there being a complete
demolition of several very substantial
open cars, and they were scattered
across and topsy turvy along the track.
The track for the distance where the
cars were derailed, was completely de
molished.
Just what caused the wreck is not
known, but It was probably due to
some break in one of the trucks of the
front cars. The night trains to and
from Savannah and Jacksonville were
sent around via Albany and arrived
very late. The morning train due here
at 10:55, came la on tlmo end train
