38 Years After: A Monument
To the Brave Engineer
BY JOHN SHEA
NEA Service Staff Correspondent
CAYCE. Ky, — The world's
most famous, railroad engineer is
10 have something more permanent
than a song as a monument to his
courageous life.
The banquet and celebration that
this Kentucky crossroads town
threw the other night started the
ball rolling for a memorial to
G{sey Joné;a. the brave man who
died trying to get through on time
just 38 years ago come this April
29.
Cayce's citizenry plans to set up
a monument on the highway near
town to remind tourists that this
was the place of Casey's birth,
The monument fund got a good
start at the banquet with more
than S4OO being raised.
Cayce is mighty proud of being
the brave engineer’'s hometown} and
prouder still that it gave Casey his
nickname. The real name was John
Luther Jones—but his pals changed
it when they found out he hailed
from this hamlet.
Present at the banquet the other
night wasg Casey Jones' widow.
Also there was Sid L.aw, now en
gineer and safety director for the
Illinois Central railroad ,who was
the fireman on <Casey's regular
run. On hand, too, was a slim old
Negro who walked with a limp.
He is Slim Webb, who fired for
Casey the night of the wreck and
who heeded Casey's wise advice
to jump.
Recall Famous Wreck
Many of the people at the ban
quet here remembered the famous
wreck and Casey the man. They
recalled that this Casy was no or
dinary engineer. He was handsome.
He was big—6 feet 4 and hitting
200 pounds. And when he got in
that cab, a train would perform
some very extraordinary feats In
deed. 1
Just about everyone on the Illi
nois Central run from Jackson,
Tenn., to Wiater Valley, Miss., knew
Casey—or at least they knew his
whistle.
Mrs, Casey told at the banquet
how the first thing Casey did when
he got his engineer’s job in 1890
was to develop his own very
special whistle. A long, low mourn
ful whistle it was, and when peo
ple heard it they'd say, “There
goes Casey.” Furthermore, “All the
switchmen knew by the engine's
moans that the man at the throttle
was Casey Jones.”
Casey got a lot out of this en
gine, and the record runs he didn't
make weren'y worth going after.
But if there was one thing riled
Casey it was to be late on gz run,
That was what finished him.
For a Friend
Along in April of 1900, just 10
years that he'd been engineering,
Casey made an extra run. An engi
neer friend of his got sick, and
Casey said he'd take the trip, al
though, as Sid Law recalled, he
had had no rest,
Casey pulled “Old 688" out of
Memphis at 11 o'clock that night
—fully an hour and a half late,
Slim Webb said at the banquet—
and headed for Canton, Miss. Fog.
and rain, but leaning out the win
dow and jamming the throttle(
Casey gunned her for all she was
worth. -
Then 50 miles out of Memphis
—worse luck—Casey got held up a
half hour by a slow freight. When
he got “Old 638" rolling again
Casey was pretty sore and he
wasn’t thinking about anything but
getting into Canton on time.
Past Vaughan, Miss., a couple of
freights were supposed to pull off
on a siding for Casey's speeding
pullman train, but when Casey
came charging along, only 11 miles
from Canton and not holding her
back a bit, the second freight was
just idling through the switch. .
“Boy, You'd Better Jump”
'Now Casey Jones wasn't the guy
to lose a couple of minutes on ac¢-
count of a thing like that, but
when he got right on top of the
freight, he had to jam on the air
brakesj. But too late. He “turned
to the fireman, said ‘Boy, you'd
better jump, ’'cause there'e two
locomotives that are going to
bump.’ ”
Sim jumped all right and it was
the smartest thing he ever did.
But there was poor brave Casey
keeping his hand on that air brake
right through three cars and a
caboose. When “Ola 638" finally
stopped not a passenger was dead,
but gallant Casey had taken his
farewell trip into the promised
land.
How Song Started
There are a lot of stories pof how
the song about Casey Jones origi
nated, but it is fairly certain that
some southern darkies who had
known of Casey and his heroics
just sort of started humming and
filling in the words as darkies will
do, and that later a couple of
vaudeville troupers jazzed up the
tune and made it a nation-wide
hit along about 1909.
Compensation Claim

our youth and young men to spend
their l/ejsure hours, offering an
outlet for g normal boy's excess
energy to be expended in develop

The main floor of the YMCA
is a scene of constant activity from
the opening hour at 8:00 in the
morning until the closing hour at
10:30 at might. The men and hoys'
rooms are active practically every
minute, our Georgia studentsg

next class, or comfortably quarter

papers and leading magazines are
at their disposal. One doesn't have
to be a. member to enjoy these
Iprivilegea.
In one section of the auditorium
wing is located the woodcraflt de

throughout the year. Special work
for the matureq man is directed
in the auxiliary gymnasium.
One of the most popular activi

direction, assisted by several of his
capable students, to whom he
taught the art.

of the boys' work is conducted on
our, two-acre athletic field in the
rear of the building. Here foothall
and baseball in their respective
seasons, and softball during the
summer months are enjoyed by
scores of boys under the direction
of capable leadership.

! Boys are being taught how to
lliw' so that they may develop into
'a manly, Christian character. If it
iis your boy, you do not count the
cost, if it is for his development
and best interests.
I recall quite distinctly a remark
made by our president, Mr. Abit
'Nix, when addressing the Sunday
Y Club at one of the meetings, and
I believe that our readers will agree
Iwit,h him, that the prime factor in
puislng suport for our work is not
through the physical work that is
being done for our boys ang men,
gut through the religious phase of
the work that is being carried on
every day in the year, and which
permeates the activity in all de
partments.
Plastic Age
Athleticg, as you know, can
prove quite detrimental to even a
matured man, if the leadershipi
provided isn’t high grade, but, on
the other hand, when Christian
men, with the boys’ interest at
heart, endeavor to instill high
ideals into our youth and young
men, made possible by the intimate
contacts in developing and direct
ing their sports, they can mould
these youthfnul characters, as the
sculptor does his plastic clay. |
Clean speech, clean conduct and’
fine sportsmanship are instilled in
the beys' minds as a result of daily!
contacts through fun and rocx'eation\
with these splendid leaders. - |
After reading this gesume of the
Y’'s program, if you deem the werk
worthwhile to the boy-life and
voung manhood of this community,
won't. you, <Citizens, who are in
terested in ‘“‘placing first things,
first,” lend your timely wcoopera
tion by either mailing in, or bring
ing your contribution toward the
mortgage fund to the YMCA office?
The time is short, ang since $4,659
constitutes the iotal sum that has
been secured to date, you can
readily see that quick action 18
necessary, if this mortgage is to oe
lifted, and the YMCA saved for
continued service in this communi
ty.
The total amouny asked of our
eitizens today representsg only one
tenth of the original investment in
this splendidly equipped plant. We
hope that our men and women ean
visualize the value of the YMCA
program, as did the citizens twenty
vears ago, when $101,780 was raised
in the initial building campaign.
The question is, what will
our citizens do about it?
