Eis remains were sent to Atlanta )r burial. Alonzo Touchstone and his rother-in-law, Arthur Ament,had, seems, been to Dalton on a hupt •g trip.

He was found ly ing on top of the tender of t.ie front engine in an unconscious condition, at about midnight. Owing to the peculiar character of the injury to his right leg, it is thought that amputation of that member may be necessary. Nicholson is. in fact, in a very critical condition, and may die be fore morning. Nicholson is a young man, resides in Atlanta,and has a wife and one child. Park was sent to his home in At lanta, his injuries being more pain ful than serious. Brakeman Bos ton, after receiving surgical atten tion at the hands of Dr. Holtzclaw, returned to his post of duty, and accompanied his train to this city. SCENE OF THE WRECK. A gentleman who returned yes terday from the scene of the wreck describes it as being one of the worst that he ever witnessed. In addition to the two engines and the caboose, which, after being wreck ed, was destroyed by fire, which the wrecking crew had a had a hard time to extinguish, there were at least eighteen or twenty cars derailed, smashed and shat tered. The two engines were piled up, one on top, and crosswise of the other “There is not,” he said, “a single rod or portion of the two engines that is not in some way twisted, bent or broken ” A creek runs along by the side of the Western and Atlantic track at this poiut, and two of the box cars of the second section were knocked over into same, over half of both of them being under water. It is claimed by the crew of the second section that one of the caus es of the wreck was that the air brakes failed to work at the time when they were most needed.

An ugly head-end collision be tween the down passenger train passing here at 9:49 usually and an up local freight due here at 11:30 occurred at Bartow last Monday morning.

Attorney’s Fees on Notes- An act passed by the legislature recently in session amendatory of section 3667 of the code of Georgia of known formerly as the Twitty bill, has attracted favorable comment among money lenders and bankers. The section as amended reads: "‘Obligations to pay attorney’s fees upon an.- note or other’ evidence of indebtedness, in addition to the rate of interest specified therein, are void, and no co irt shall enforce such agreement to pay attorneys’ fees, unless the debtor shall fail to pay such debt on oL fceTbre the return day of the court to which suit is brought for the collection of the same; provid ed, the holder of the obligation sued upon, his agent or attorney notifies the defendant in writing ten days before suit is brought of his intention to bring suit, and also the terms of the court to which suit will be brought.” In stating that the recent sale of 2,000 bales of cotton by Mr. James M. Smith, of Oglethorpe, to In man & Cos., of Augusta, for $100,• 000 in "ash, was the largest trans acting in cotton ever made by a Georgia farmer. The Herald was in error. A larger transaction in cotton by a Georgia farmer occur red in last May, when Judge F. F. Putney, who farms extensively in the southern part of Doughterty county, sold to the Georgia Cotton Company, an Albany firm, 2,600 bales of cotton and received from them a check on the First National bank of Albany for $119,220-86. This transaction is certainly the biggest cotton -deal that has ever occurred between farmer and cot ton buyer in this section in the last quarter of a century, and it is one of the biggest cotton deals on record in Georgia.—Americus Herald.
