FOOT EASE.
The flexibility and elasticity ot 1
“Queen Quality” Shoes and Oxfords
adapt them to apy and all types of
feet. ,
The leather is soft and delight-
fill to the touch, and they lit here,
there and everywhere with a flYm
yet gentle pressure that does away
with any possibility of the foot slip¬
ping forward and cramping the toes.
The upward cling ot the under
arch, and the perfect clasp of the in¬
step, make them the realization of a
dream of foot ease.
IDEAL.
fords “Queen Quality” 81ioes and Ox¬
give apparent height to low in¬
steps, and that mnch desired slender
appearance to feet that are broad.
They possess an adaptability to the
foot not found in other makes, and
the varied designs and materials in
which they may be procured is an
additional reason for their wide
■spread popularity. They include
shapes and styles for all feet and
tastes.

gracefully?

The Atlanta and Weet Point train
of 16 coaches, crowded with a merry
party of men. women and children,
who had spent the day at a picnic
given by the Juuior Order of United
Mechanics of Atlanta, and the Daugh¬
ters of America, at Pearl Springs, was
on Us return trip to the Atlanta ter¬
minal station, and had just cleared the
Fair street crossing about 10 or 15
feet when it stopped. A moment
later the Central pasenger train No.
14, from Macon, due at the terminal
nation at 7:65 o'clock, crashed into
and telescoped the rear coach of the
picnic train.
The Central train, drawn by engine
1017, with Engineer Cosby at the throt¬
tle, was moving at a speed of 10
miles an hour when it struck the reat
coach of the picnic train, and so great
WftjH^dJi^entugi thatch* big engint
A direct and easy route has been
selected for entry’ Into Macon by the
Columbus road. A double track will
be laid and a loop will be made around
the central blocks of Macon, taking in
the hotels, the Southern pnd Central
railway stations and the main busi¬
ness districts.
The Effects of the Road on Griffin.
There is no doubt of the road being
completed and becoming an accom¬
plished fact, due allowance being
made for the time necessary for the
preliminary work and the work of
construction.
The effects of the road upon the
commercial interests of Griffin is a
topic of earnest consideration among
the citizens, but the general consensus
of opinion is that the results in the
main are obliged to be good. While
it may be a little more pleasant,
easier and cheaper to gd to Atlanta
on its hour schedule and also avoid
cinders and dust, yet the possibility
is doubted of any more trade being
carried then than goes at present. If
anybody wants to go to Atlanta to
trade, they already have ample facii-
tie8 over the Central and Southern
railroads.
On the other band, it will facilitate
the coming to Griffin of all the people
along the line in two directions whose
trade naturally would gravitate here;
and if the Griffin merchants will offer
the proper inducements, the gain can
be made considerably greater than
any possible loss.
plowed ifs way through half IKe length
of the passenger ear, as though it were
made of cobwcV. This car contained
about 60 people, and It Is little short
of a miracle that more than half oi
them were not killed or fatally lnjnred.
A scene of the wildest confusion en¬
sued, screams and moans from the In¬
jured follow lag the crash of the en¬
gine Into the car. Women, fainted.
The shock was felt in all sixteen oars.
Some Idea of the Impact ot the en¬
gine with the picnic coach may bs
Imagined when It is stated that the en¬
gine of the picnic train was uncoupled
and thrown a car length ahead. The
smoke stack of the Central engine rip
perl up to the top of the paseenger
coach for a d^tanoe of 15 feet, and
the flooring of the car, the rear plat¬
form and seats were ground Into splin¬
ters.
It Is said Flagman Dillard, of ths
picnic train, a son of Conductor W. T.
Dillard, who had the train In charge,
relied on the Whitehall street block
to notify the engineer of the Central
of the presence of the picnic train.
Engineer Cosby, of the Central, states
that he failed to flag Mm.
It Is said hat when he saw the col¬
lision was inevitable, he yelled to En¬
gineer Cosby, of the Central, that It
was his fault. He could not be found
