year old white man of Littleton; Hey
ward Meetze, 22 years old white man
of Littleton: James W. Daley, white,
of Peak; Charlie Brown, negro, of
Peak; James Henderson, negro, of
Peak.
Confusion in orders coupled with a
blinding rain that obscured the‘view
ahead of both tlic freight train^ No.
66, of the Southern, and the men on
the motor car, were given as contri
buting causes- to the disaster.
Chapman was killed outright, while
Meetze and Brown died on passenger
train No. 18 of the Southern which
was bringing the injured here for
surgical treatment.
PaleVj whose nuvther reached Jthe
scene of the accurent from her Rome

her son to Colombia on the passenger

and upon reaching Peak consulted
the operator, who informed them that
the freight train was at Prosperity.
The men set out in their motor
car and were on a curve when the
accident occurred.
Young Daley did not realize what
had struck him, the mother said. “He
answered - a few of my questions,"
she declared this afternoon, “but
seemed in a daze. I asked him if he
had not received word from the
operator at Peak that the freight

Early October is the best time to
apply Paracide. In normal seasons
this tr^tment should be applied be
tween October 1st and 15th. In the
northwestern part of the state the
later date is advisable, says F. H.
Lathrop, chief of the Entomology
Division of Clemson College.
Method of Applying
To make the application^, level the |
surface of the soil about the base of
the tree to the distance of about 12
inches. Remove all weeds, sticks,
stones, etc.;* within this area, but (
avoid disturbing the soil more than
necessary.
The amount of Paracide used varies
with the age of the trees: 1-2 ounce
for three or four year old trees; 3-4
ounce for 5 year old trees; and 1
ounce for 6 year old trees. It is im
portant to measure the amount of
material accurately for an overdose
may produce serious injury to the
tree. -
