This isa decrease of 120 killed and an incre se of 391 in jured as compared with the correspond ing quarter o 1910, Other accidents on railroad, at grade orossings, on tracks bridges, etc.,caused 2,768 deaths, while 19,107 were injured, a decrease from tlie figures for the same qoater of the previous year. Employes to the extent of 131 were killed, while 28.860 were injured on railroad premises in accidents; the movement of oars or locomotives was not involved. Nowadays, anch a report ia read in a matter-ef-faot aort of apirit, little real ising how much sorrow and suffering it represents. It is just as well that it should be that way, perhaps, But the thought naturally arises, is this slaughter to continue forever? DR. W. B. HUTCHINS —DENTIST— Office in Ohlman Bldg. Over W. S.

WAITING FOR CRASH Three men knew that the wreck was going to occur and waited brethlessly for the impact of two giant locomotives running at high speed. There was a freight train running in two sections and both were to meet the passenger train at Rutledge. As'tne first section was moving out of Rutledge the second section came uj>, and Conductor Allen, of the second section, remembered that! j botii were to meet the passenger there. ' He could see the lights of the first eec- | tion of the train in the dim distance and I he could not stop it. He secured Lis train telephone and called up Social Cirelo, the next station and asked if "No. 4," meaning the passenger, had left. The reply was, "Yes,” My God, they arc going together," said Allen. "Yes,” said the Social Circle opera tor. The latter called the dispatcher at Augusta to get his wrecking train ready. "Two trains are going together,” he said. "And I can’t prevent them.” And in the stillness of the night when the sound of a crash or an explosion is magnified by the stillness, the trains met. The Social Circle operator 6aid to Augusta; "They have come together. 1 heard the crash.” Aad the wrecking train, ready to leave, went oat. STANDING ORDERS OVERLOOKED Officials of the road stated that the wreck resnlted from the overlooking of standing orders for freight trains to lake siding at Rutledge station, between Angnsta and Social Circle, and thnsto give the passenger train the right of way. When news of the collision was received here, physicians, and nnises were sent by special train to the scene. At 8:50 o'clock this morning the in jured were taken to Atlanta and given medical attention. COLLISION IN DEEP CUT. The collision with the freight occnred in a deep cut. southeast of Social Circle. So terrific was the impact, the two loco motives were demolished and the "jim crow” and baggage cars of the passen ger were telescoped.

Her Crown ol Beauty, Loses In Love and Maxrlage. Hair is certainly most necessary to women. Who could love and marry a bald-headed woman? Whnt charms could one array to offset each disfigure ment? A woman’s goal is usually love and marriage. HercrowniDg glory is her hair. The loss of her hair mars her beauty, happiness and success. Yet, right here in Milledgeville there are hundreds of women who are neglecting or injuring their hair to snch an extent that it is only a matter of time when it will be utterly ruined. Many women destroy the beaut,) of their hair through thoughtlessness or ignorance of certain facts. They nsc curling irons over-heated, or to excess, which destroys the natnral oil of the hair, causing it to split, break and come ont. They do not shampoo their hair often enough, or too often. They use soaps or preparations which contain ingredients positively harmful to .the scalp and hair. As a result of such treatment, dan druff, is created, the hair loosens, loses color, falls ont, and bahluesS com mence*, unless proper and prompt prep arations are taken in time.
