Young’a Female Colleger
Freight train number 211 met with
quite a disastrous wreck Fridjyy af
ternoon eight miles east of here and
four miles£from Boston.
The train was crossing a bridge when
a drawhead |fell out and landed direct
ly upon the track.
Of course this threw the following
cars from the track. The train was £0-
ing at a fairjrate of speed, and some
lively piling-up was done by the cars.
Ten of them went off the track into the
ditch.
The track was obstructed for several
hours and the wrecking crew spent a
busy afternoon in clearing away the de
bris. The east bound train number 40
leaving here at 2:80 p. m. and the west
bound train number 85, due to arrive at
8:20 p. m. were unable to pass the
wreck. A transfer of passengers was
made, at the wreck, 85 going back to
Waycross ard 40 returning to Bain-
bridge. in this way no considerable de
lay to traffic resulted.
But one man was seriouly injured in
the wreck, and he had the Uoisfortune to
have his leg broken. This was Joseph
Lane, a negro. His leg was badly frac
tured between the knee and ankle, and
-he also had some severe contusions on
his body. His wounds were looked af
ter by Dr. B. A. Daniels the Coast line
surgeon at this point and he is now in
the Charity Hospital here. The rest of
the train crew were a little braised and
more than a little shaken np, bat were
not" badly Lhurt. This is the second
piece of hard luck the Coast Line has
had this week.

committee room in Atlanta may be

Mr. H. L. Heritage, now of Jesnp,
who formerly'attended Stanley’s Busi
ness College in this city was ’shaking
hands with ol4 friends here yesterday.
The announcement in yesterday’s
pa$er of the splendid lot of prizes
which the Times-Enterprise is going to
give away, elicited much favorable com
ment.
Everybody is admiring the pluck
and progressive spirit of the paper in
engaging in a thing which will un
questionably be of vast benefit to the
town as well as to the paper.
One of the good effects, of the contest
will be to prove to the country people
the fallacy of that old tale that they are
not wanted in Thomasville. TJie prizes
are largely of a nature that will inter
est farmers, and were selected with that
idea in view. The merchants who have
taken part with the Times-Enterprise in
the plan are up-to-date people and are
thoroughly intereste4 in the growth of
the town.
Alb Thomasville is coming to the sup
port of the Times-Enterprise in this
splendid scheme for showing its spirit
to the county.
Taxation Reduced.
The arbitration committee appointed
by the Governor to confer witn Hon.
John H. Davidson of this city in regard
to the franchise tax of the Georgia
Northern railroad has made its report.
The franchise value of the Georgia
Northern was -fixed at (85,000 by’ the
Comptroller. The road^considered this
amount excessive and the matter was re
ferred to a committee of three in which
Mr. Davidson represented the railroad.
The committee decided to reduce the
valuation to $75,000 and accordingly
thftt is the official valae of the Georgia
Northern’s franchise.
