Sulphur Springs, Mo.-Failure of an engineer to heed a block signal caused the rear-end collision on the Missouri Pacifc here in which 38 persons were killed and about 187 injnred, 25 aw riously, according to John Cannon. as sistant general manager of the road. Train No. 4, a fast passenger ves tibule steel train, ruaning at full speed oiashed into No. 92, a local, composed of five wooden day coaches, a bag gage and express car, as the engine was taking on water with the coaches stretching back on a trestle over Glase creek. The impact hurled two of the local coaches down a 50-foot embankment edging the Mississippi, and telescoped four other coaches, crushing a number of passengers to death In their seats. Both trains were behind time, the fast passenger running from Fort Worth. Texas, to St. Louis, carrying 180 pas sengers and the local 100 persons. According to Mr. Cannon, Matt ("Ginger") Glenn, of St. Louis. eng! neer of the fast passenger. failed to heed a block signal warning him the track was not clear.

Ghouls appeared on the scene very shortly after the crash and robbed the dead and dying. Only one was at rested. and he said he was William all. of St. Louis. Several pieces of wearing apparel taken from the unfor tunate were found on his person, and a Bible was in his waist. The Bible, it was said, had been the property of the Rev. V. 0. Hensley of Do Soto, one of those killed. The dead and Injured were spread over an' area of several city blacks, and chicken crates, automobile cush ions, baggage and the railroad track@ -constituted their couches. The little village of 50 inhabitants was unable to care for the injured and they, along with ti dead. were taken to St. Louis and De Soto. Dr. W. Nf. HulL. was the only physician adminis tering to the injured for several hours until relief trains arrived. "Had I had some assistance we might have saved some of the dying." Dr. Hull told a representative of the Assoiated Press. "At one time I was! trying to treat 2Spersons simulta neously."

It was a pleasant even ing for all. One of the happy occasions of our career as a Boosters Club was enjoy ed when upon Mr. Johnstoner invi tation the whole bunch journeyed to Blythewood swimming pond, about 18 miles out of town. Upon arrival every body except, W. E. Rainbow, who is a dry land swimmer, hit the cool spring waters for a swim. The water was fine and invigorating,_.go much so that when the boys (caded their bathing suits and go und it big camp fire, they began to ery for food. Mr. Johnstone had seen to it that sandwiches and drinks (soft) enough for all had been prepared. W. E. Sentell put up a growl how ever because he didn't have a quart pot full of black, hot coffee. Ram bow and Hadaway stayed by the linch .ntil only one sandwich was left and while they were "steaming" over which one should have it, some one devoured it. Evidently the sand wiches and drinks did not fill the stomach vacancies for immediately after the sandwiches disappeared Mr. Johnstone announced that there were 50 watermelons close by on a truck In a jiffy each man had a melon op ened before him and the only noise made was a juicy munching of 50 mouths. Fallows proved to be a mas ter at eating the red meat. Taking a half melon in his hands at one time he slowly but surely and confidently put the red meat under his shirt. Af ter finishing a whole one he looked aroundl wistfully for a second melon; but, alas, there were no more. As soon as the watermelon settled mu sic broke out andl the air was filled with sweet song. Bright, flashy songs -old tender songs and Christian hynmzs rang through the forests as 50 men joined happily in the singing. The programme was closed by singing "Blest Be the Tie That Binds," and "G~od Be With You Till We Meet Again."' Everybody got home sober. In fact he had to get home sober or dleadl, for everybody ate watermelon andl the writer has been told that watermelon and moonshine (liquid kind) don't mix happily. And no one of the party was even sick. While we are speaking of liquid moonshine, let us frankly remind the village once again of the deadly peril that is hovering around us. Bootleg ging is going on on a larger scale than it ever has before. The criminal who makes it and sells it is hanging aroundl our village almost daily to sink his fangs deeper into the integ rity and character of our lives. All he wants is your hard earned money. He says, "Your soul be damned, I don't care." He is on his way to hell andl he wants company and he is af ter you andl me to ge with him. May God Almighty give -us strength and courage not only to ,say no, but to kick out of our comnhunity the ser pent with so poisono a sting.

Laurens.-For the purpose of arous ing interest in the educational pro gram, and as an expression of the at titude of Laurens county in this big forward step, an educational rally was held here at the county court house. The meeting was a success in every respect, being attended by the district trustees, teachers and ministers of the county, these being especially invited to attend the rally, which was held under the auspices of the federated clubs of this city. The crux of the meeting may be summed up from the tenor and tone of the following resolution which was adopted unanimously. "That South Carolina is able to give and should give to every child a seven months' term in school. "That the members of the general assembly of South Carolina should work and vote for an appropriation to carry out the law. "That the legislature should make provision for coal and other inci dentals, and that we assembled are willing to pay the additional taxes in cident to the carrying out of the pro graln.' The meeting was presided over by Mrs. J. B. Bennett. president of the Laurens Civic League. The purpose of the meeting was stated by James H. Sullivan, former county superin tendent of education, now postmaster at Laurens. Then followed a full and compre hensive statement of the practical ap plication of the state school laws to Laurens county y Ralph T. Wilson, county superintendent of education. By -invitation. Col. E. H. Aull, coun ty superintendent of education of Newberry county, was present and he discussed in an informing manner the question of relieving the situation re garding school defects. He empha sised the need of the state acting as a unit educationally, and the state must take united, forward steps to achieve its place in the matter of edu cating the children of today. Superintendent Wilson, speaking ol the local situation. explained that many school districts were now in bedt because of the fact that the ap proprtation was not sufficient to car ry out the law, though the school terms were not curtailed. The meeting, as stated, was consid ered as a forward movement in a cam paign for improving school conditions and for informing the boards, teacheri and preachers of existing conditione today.
