The majority of the nineteen in. jured in the wreck at Folkston Sun day night when the Dixie Flyer, northbound, plunged into the South land which was taking water, were in the day coaches, nine carsfront of the first car hit. While the engine of the Flyer tore its way far into the observation ear and two Pullmans on the Southland were so badly damaged that it was necessary to set them off, only one or two people in this part of the train were hurt, the others injured being in two wooden day coaches far up the train, near the locomotive. The steel cars in their fronV and rear caught these wooden cars like a vise and smashed them. One man was pinned down in such a way that it was necessary to cut him out with axes. He was little hurt. Mrs. Bar ber, of Montgomery, Ala., was se verely injured, as was a negro wom an from Pelham. Three patients are in the Waycross hospital, and the condition of the women was consid ered serious last night. Of the other nineteen injured, all were able to go home. Supt. McCranie places the blame for the accident on Engineer Wright, of the Dixie Flyer, who ran by caution and stop block signal. The force of the onrushing train drove the Southland a train length when it was struck. UVENILE HORSE THIEVES. <v-< Short Career and Landed in 'Jail Sunday Night. o negro boys.

Nashville, Ga., Oct. 3.—The an nual meeting of the Primitive Bap tists of Long Bridge church, five miles west of Nashville, was held Saturday and Sunday, September 30 and October 1. A large crowd was in attendance and preaching by El ders Knight and Parrish and com munion and foot washing were the order of the day. The citizens in that community extended the old- time hospitality and large crowds were fed at several homes near th church. The regular monthly preaching service was held at Flat Creek church on last Saturday and Sunday and the preaching by Elder Gibbs, of Ty Ty, who has been scrying this church as pastor for over 20 years. There was a school house full of farmers and their wives at Eldorado Monday night to hear Dr. Fort and Prof. Watson speak. Mr. Watson told his hearers about the conditions found in Alabama by the committee recently sent there by the business men of Tifton, of which he was a member, and urged the planters to study carefully about planting next year and especially urged that they get the cotton stalks turned under this fall not later than October 20th, before that time if pos sible. Mr. Watson stated that it was go ing to be necesssry for the farmers to get their stalks under early this fall; plant early next spring and plant an early variety of cotton; pick the squares off as fast as they were infected by the boll weevil and that it would be dangerous to plant more than five acres of cotton to the plow. He pointed out that unless the farm ers meant to fight the weevil good and strong they might expect that FREE SHORT COURSE BE GIVEN TWO BOYS During Southeastern Fair in At lanta This Month- EXAMINATIONS HELD FRIDAY Superintendent Kersey Invitee Boye to Come to Hit Office So That He Can Examine Them.

Arrangements are under way to hold a monster mass meeting of Tift county farmers at the courthouse here on Saturday, October 14, at which time a full discussion of the new packing house and stock raising will be gone Into, That the business men and fa] ers of the county are going to put forth organized efforts combat tho weevil next year is ap preciated by all interests at this time, and for this reason it has been thought to bo best that a packing house be built in Tifton to care for hogs and cattle, and in order that as many of tho farmers as will may join in this movement this meeting has been called. It is believed by those having the matter in charge that the more farm ers and business men who take active Interest in the packing house the quicker it will be a success. This meeting Is called especially for the purpose of letting the farm ers have a chance to got acquainted with the proposed movement to build the packing house and to let them have an opportunity to express them, selves in a material way toward making it a weight to help crush thi boll weovil that is sure to be In thi fields of Tift county next year li millions. !W WELL BEGUN. \ Work of sinking the additional . ........ —....... well for the city of Tifton wak com- the weevil would eat them up and menced by tho Southard Construe.

That ii the whiskey traffic. There are hundreds of people in the county who are ordering whiskey to their alotted amount each month in their own name, then ordering in fictitious names and then getting some other person to go to the express office and have the party who is ignorant of the law to swear to it being theirs, (the party making the affidavit) thereby perjuring themselves. However, this is not the worst of it yet. There are automobiles run ning regularly from here to Jackson vlllo, bringing carloads of the whis key nnd getting the cheap stuff in the hands of lawless people, thereby en dangering tho lives of the citizens anil property of the county and com. munitios. The one thing that has prompted me to write this card is that it is a daily circumstance of people coming to me and asking me why I don’t catch some blind tigers in their set tlement. I ask who is it? and the answer is: “I don’t know just who. Well. I do, but I can't nfford to have anything to do with it.” Now, good citizens; I ask your co operation in this one thing, and help me, for it is impossible for me to be in every section of the county at one time. There has never been a time, neith. nr will there ever be a time, when the officers of the county don't need the co-operation and assistance of the citizens. Friends, my view in this and any other lawless act is. that if your friend is violating the prohibition law, then furnish me with the evidence; I will become prosecutor and enforce the law. Thereby save our boys from being drug into the courts of our county. Good people, will you help me? I believe you will. I have the faith and ever will, that the good society demands it of each and every of you to co-operate with your county and city officers. I have had people in different sec tions of this county to tell me that they were expecting serious trouble. I have gone to those places and in stituted searches for whiskey and failed to find it- I thank them for all information given me. With best wishes to each and ev ery citizen of the good county of _ Tift, I am as ever your friend to 5 serve, J. M. Shaw, Sheriff, said that he would be glad to help the farmers plan their crops for »4xt year. He said that they should plant some wheat, plenty of corn, oatst rye. rape and a big crop of hogs. / Dr. Fort followed Mr. Watson and spoke at some length on diitherla. He said that he was planning: to visit Eldorado school Tuesday or Wednes day to make examinations of all the pupils and that he hoped that there would be co-operation on tile part of the parents with a view the school free during the all contagious diseases. H diptheria started with sym itoms of a cold and was generally during the afternoon, tho ting more hoarse as even along, and that after mil patient generally becai keeping erm from said that to noticeable child get- ng wore light the very croupy. He said that generally small quantity of kerosene oil mixed with sugar given to the child would relieve this "stuffed up" condition, but that if the croupy symptoms showed up bad again by 9 o’clock the following morning a doctor shdutd be called at once for the chances, were that the child had diptheria. Dr. Fort stated that what , known as membranous croup was really diptheria. He alio said that great care should be taken to keep the children where they could rtpt pass the disease along tc others, and said that one of tho best ways to keep fromKetting diseases at school was for each scholar to have his or her own drinking cup. SELLS CANE JUICE IN MACON, CAR LOAD MULES. I! Mr, C. O. Gilley announces thut 11 he has just received a carload of fine young mules, from steel dust mares. They can be seen at the old Williams -barn on Fifth street. Mr. Gilley states that he is in po sition to sell them cheap, or ex change two for one for the differ ence. Mr. D. W. Sumner was in Tifton Monday morning, returning to Ma con from a visit to his old home at Sumner. While here he contracted with Mr. B. E. Conger for a supply of sugar-cane for the cane mill which he will operate on one of the prin cipal streets of Macon this fall. He operated a mill and sold cane-juice at the fair last year, but the venture was not a success. He thinks busi ness will be better in the city. Mr. Sumner says that he can buy sugar-cane much cheaper in Macon than he can buy it here and ship it to that city but the juice has not the flavor of the juice from South Geor gia sugar-cane. For several years Mr. Sumner har been trying to create a demand in Macon for South Georgia sugar-cane products, especially syrup. At one time he carried a line of syrup in stock there. His efforts have only met with a small.measure of success. tion Company Tuesday afternoon and will be continued as fast as pos sible until the woik is completed. \ The new well is being sunk aboOt sixty-five feet from the old one and it is expected to go down about 50q feet. How long it will take to sink\ the well Is a matter of conjecture, but it is not expected that there will be the delays experienced with this one that was experienced when the other well was sunk, for the reason that the Southard people havo mado careful soundings and have prepar ed their drills and equipment meet all looked-for emergencies. It will be remembered that there was considerable difficulty expert enced in the drilling of the other well when a strata of flint rock was struck and the drills used kept breakj ing, and that the equipment had to be replaced with a heavier drilling machine than tho work was begun with, resulting in it taking something like six months to drill the well to the required depth. No such delays are looked for this time because the drilling machine is large enough to handle any sort o: wa * strata and probably not more than few weeks at the longest will be tlyb time spent. The well will supply water at i/ic rate of 1,000 gallons a minute when finished and it is believed that it trill get its supply from an underground lake the same ns the present/Well; (bis calculation being based number of soundings that h/ve al ready been made.

You keep me hungry, for I have read all of them and it seems to me they all happened right there around Tifton. my old home. “Going to Mill With Bud” was very interesting to me. It carries us back thirty-eight years, when Mr. B. C. Hutchinson and myself went to mill. He drove a yoke oxen while I wa? driving one. We came to where the roads fork ed. Either would lead us to the for they only went around Unc! 1 Johnny Roberts' place, and we were undecided which was the nearest, the right or the left? So Mr. Hutch inson said there wa3 one way to make the te?t. Said he: “You take the left hand and I will take the right and the one who gets there first without trotting, his way will he the sortest.” We went, and I guess each of us used the whip on our oxen and long before we got to where the two wrys met I could see him a straddle the tongue with his hare feet hang ing down and the oxen trotting.
