Among the dead are seven white persons. Five babies and three women were killed. Eighteen women and 20 children are among the injured. About 20 of the injured are expected to die. Seven of those hurt are white. The flagman of the excursion train asserts that he went back the usual dis , tance to set torpedoes, and that he sig nalled the oncoming frieght with his red lantern. The train flashed by, how ever, without heeding the warning. Three coaches of the train were overturned and caught lire. They were entirely consumed. The bodies of those taken out were burned beyond recogni tion. Search For More Bodies. Rescue parties are searching the wreckage. It is believejd that a num ber of bodies are still buried under pie shattered cars. The injured were brought here on a special train. Sev eral of them were so severely injured that physicians who made the first ex amination say they can not live. The wrecked train was running from New Orleans to Woodville, Miss. It took the siding at midnight to permit a southbound train to pass. A north bound freight train, running at full speed, crashed into the excursion train just as it had come to a stop. The heavy' freight plowed its way through the rear car and sent three of the coaches over in a splintered heap. The wreckage caught fire from the engine. The shock splintered the forward cars and passengers in them were severely hurt. Most of {he deaths occurred in the rear coaches. Most of those in the rear cars v. ere negroes. The cars were wooden affairs and were broken to bits by' the shock. The train was crowded. The Policy for YOU!

ATLANTA NEW YORK PARIS a The Most Exquisite of All Imported Silks For Reception and Dinner Gowns and Evening Dresses. The display of silks that this announcement invites you to see is perhaps the most notable ever made in Atlanta. It brings those exquisite webs and tissues, heavy-laden with gold and silver embroidery, rich and effulgent with wonderful colorings—that the great Par isian dressmakers have used to express their style-ideas this season. We mean this literally, not only of one or two patterns but of a dozen or more. We have them by grace of our connection with one of the greatest of the exporters of Paris. There is no describing them-—there is no proper appreciation of them to be put down in cold type— they are woven and patterned and colored for the eyes, they are to be exclaimed over. We can but tell you of their glory as it is reflected by the Parisian makers of fashions. What greater mark of distinction could they have than that such notables as Paquin, Worth, Agnes, Doucet, Bourniche should use them to express their style-ideas? A chiffon lisse of palest blue has a wide border of silver medallions with gold centers. Worth saw its beauty and made it into a model. A voile Lorraine that is almost all pattern, an old tapestry design in amber and old blue with silver em broidery that Agnes appreciated and used. A‘voile Lorraine of plum shade with deep Bulgarian border showing shades green, red and a wonderful gold feather design, so effective that Paquin used it. most exquisite in the display, showing the truly marvel ous work of the French dyers. It is white with a Bul garian border made up of faintly outlined geometries in red, blue,green and overworked with gold and silver. its wide border, a vine pattern done in silver and gold. that enclose a grape border of silver. Make tomorrow a day to see these gorgeous silks, they are the world’s finest—they have the prestige of the approval of the Paris fashion authorities, that in itself should lend color to this occasion. At the same time you may see The Tunics of Fashion A display that truly represents the fashions of the mo ment; lor Paris has declared them as a mark of elegance and rd—completeness. There is one after another that you will want for your own—each with its own charm that seems all hut irresistible.
