A bad collision occurred yesterday morning about half past three o’clock just where the Georgia, Carolina anff Northern crosses the track of the Ma con and Northern road. TheG., C. A N., freight was just pulling out for Monroe, and was about half way across the track of the M. & N„ when a freight train on the latter road came dashing through the cut at a rather high rate of speed. And then came a crash, a splitting of timbers and an agonizing cry from a human being. The engine of the M. & N. freight had plunged eutirely through a freight box of tbe G. C. & N. train and had precipitated a negro down a high em bankment to tbe grouad belo w. The negro man was first looked af ter. His name is Joe Polk and he was a brakeman on the Georgia, Carolina A Northern and was on the car which was Btruck. The force of the collision hurled him from his position and threw him down the embankment. He fell upon his head, striking a large rook. As his head struck tbe rock, the blood fleto fully fifteen feet. It was thought at first that he had been killed. Medical aid was summoned and bis wounds dressed. It was found that the whole forehead had been laid bare down to the eyebrow^, but that no fracture of the skull had resulted. Thus while it was quite a painful wound, the negro will recover in all probability. Tbe car was torn all to pieces and bales of cotton scattered in every direc tion. The engine was badly demolish ed also. After getting all the wreck out of the way the two freight trains went on to their destinations. The blame of tbe affair is hard to find. The G. C. & N. train was running schedule time, while the M. & N. was behind. Tbe engineer of the M. & N. freight, when he saw how near his train was to the other, reversed his engine and put on the brakes. They .did not work, and he and his fireman jump.ed to save their lives. This accident teaches one lesson very clearly. There should be a watchman kept constantly at this point. dilinnHl and better reason that the govern ment is and has been loaning these banka in the nature of deposits all the money they wls. e l without any interest. 1 After giving several illustrations of the I stock to be secured by th< modern operation of the organization of I ernment bonds isof very “There are millions in it” said druggist when asked about Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup.

Some of them came down Broad street in a fast trot and rushed into the dispensary all covered with perspira tion. And inside were about fifty, all cry' ing to get the stuff at once. They knew all couldn’t be waited on by sundown, and it was a scramble to see which should get it first. Aud then came the closing hour when ths manager motioned to about twenty-five to get out, and they got. But they didn’t carry their whiskey with them. The sales of liquors for the three days amounted to about eight or nine hundred dollars.

A LITTLE FA THERLY ADVICE .“If ever you marry,” said an old gentleman to his son, ‘'let it be a wo man who has judgment enough to su perintend tbe getting of a meal, taste enough to dress hersi’f, * pride enough to wash her face, am ., ense enough t< use Dr. Pierce’s Fav rite Prescription whenever she needi it. ” The expreri ence of the aged has shown the “Favor ite Prescription” to be the best for the cure of all female weaknesses and de rangemente. Good sense is shown by getting tbe remedy from your druggist and using it whenever you feel weak and debilitated. It will invigorate and cannot possibly do harm.
