ENGINEER KILLED IN WRECK.
"Flamingo Flyer" in Smash-up.
Several Others Injured.
Special to The Herald.
Schofield, Jan. 9.?Seaboard passenger
train known as the "Flamingo
Flyer," going South between NewYork
and Jacksonville, was derailed
here Sunday morning at 7:46 o'clock,
while running at the rate of fifty
miles per hour. Engineer Henry Petit,
of Savannah, and his fireman,
James Campbell, also of Savannah,

en to a Columbia hospital, accompanied
by Drs. L. A. Hartzog and Cecil
Ray, where Mr. Petit died in the
afternoon and the fireman is not expected
to live. Baggage Master J.
*E. Anderson, of Jacksonville, and the
negro porter were painfully injured
but not expected to die. None of the
passengers were injured, with the exception
of one lady, who received a
slight flesh wound.
The train consisted of seven cars,
one baggage, one express, one accomodation,
diner and three pullmans.
The accident is said to have
been due to a concealed defect in the
throwing rod connecting the switch
stand, which was broken loose by the
jar of the engine passing over the
switch point, causing the rear truck
of the express car and balance of
the train to take the side track. The
engine was completely overturned
and the baggage and express cars
were thrown directly across the
track. The Pullman cars and diner
were not derailed.
Two wrecking crews were ordered
here at once and the track was cleared
for traffic at six o'clock in the afternoon.
Railroad officials placed the damage
at $75,000. The train was in
charge of conductor E. H. Rhodes, of
Jacksonville, who was slightly injured
about the face by flying glass.
The accident drew q,uite a crowd of
spectators, there being approximately
4,000 people here during the day
from this and adjoining counties.
Another Account.
Seaboard Air Line passenger
train No. 7, going South; known as
the "Flamingo Flyer," between New
York and Jacksonville, was wrecked
at Schofield at 7:35 o'clock Sunday
morning when Engineer Henry Petit
was fatally injured and the negro
fireman, James Campbell, was seri
ously hurt. J. E. Anderson, baggage |
master, and E. H. Rhodes, conductor,
were slightly bruised about the
face. The injured engineer and fireman
were taken to Columbia early
Sunday afternoon to a hospital, accompanied
by Dr. L. A. Hartzog, of
Olar, who in response to a telephone
call went to the scene of the
wreck soon after it occurred.
The cause of the wreck has not
been established. The train split at
the switch gate, the engine and express
car keeping the main line,
while the combination car and the
cars following took the side track,
which resulted in the express car
being jerked across the main line,
the engine turning over on the siding.
The combination car quit the
siding and plunged into a field, plowing
into the ground so deep that the
front end of the car was buried. The
trucks under the passenger car following
the combination car and those
under the dining car were crushed,
but the three Pullman cars remained
on the track. Two wrecking
trains, one from each end of the
line, were soon at the scene and began
clearing the track, passage at
that point being reestablished about
8 o'clock Sunday night.

South, which was wrecked at Schofield
shortly after 7 o'clock Sunday
morning, was carried to Columbia
Sunday afternoon to a hospital
where he died about 5:30 o'clock in
the afternoon, after an operation
which had been performed in a last
effort to save his life. The negro
fireman, James Campbell, who was
also injured and who was carried to
Columbia on the same train, is not
thought to have been fatally injured.
The deceased engineer was about
52 years of age and resided in Savannah.

Henry Petit is said to have been
the oldest engineer on this division
of the Seaboard Air Line, having
been employed* by the road in that
capacity for about 25 years. An official
of that railway said that Mr.
Petit was one of the best liked and
most trustworthy engineers on this
division, being distinguished by his
sunny disposition and strict attention
to his duty. He was a member
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, enrolled in Savannah
lodge, No. 803.

EMBEZZLEMENT CHARGED.
Postmaster of Midway Held in the
Charleston Jail.
On a charge of embezzlement in
the office of postmaster at Midway,
Ernest W. Duensing was brought to
Charleston yesterday morning, and
committed to the county jail in default
of $1,000 bond.
The amount alleged to have been
missing was $1,170.78, which was
found to be short in the cash in the
annual inspection of postoffice inspectors.
Duensing practically con
fessed to having drawn this amount
from government funds, when given
a hearing yesterday morning before
United States Commissioner M.
Huger. It seems probable that a
plea of guilty will be entered when
the case comes to trial in United
States district court in Columbia,
January 16. '
The arrest was made Tuesday byUnited
States Marshal Sims, who acted
on information from postoffice inspectors.
Duensing, according to
testimony in the preliminary hearing
yesterday made no attempt to excuse
the shortage by any explanation, nor
to enter any plea in his own defense.
Although he was not required to
make a statement in his own defense,
he admitted all the evidence against
him, which was shown by his accounts
and by the testimony of the
government agents.
Dulnsing has held his office for a1^
most four years, having been appointed
at the beginning of President
Wilson's first term. There was every
probability that he would succeed
himself in office, because of apparent
trustworthiness and residence
of many years in his section. The
penalty for this class of embezzlement
is imprisonment.?News and

Report on S. A. L. Wreck.
Columbia, Jan. 8.?Railroad Commissioner
Frank W. Shealey filed an
official report of his investigation of
the Seaboard Air Line wreck at Schofield
yesterday, in which he said the
wreck, in his opinion, was due to a
defective switch, which caused the locomotive
of the train to split the
switch as it was going over. He says
that the wreck was a pure, accident
and that the Seaboard road was not
at fault.

GOOD ROADS ORGANIZATION.
Interesting Meeting Held at Court
House Monday Morning.
The Bamberg County Good Roads
association was organized Monday
morning at the court house, with a
goodly number of initial members.
Much interest was evinced in the
meeting, and it is believed that considerable.
may be accomplished as
a result of the meeting. There
were about 100 citizens of the county
present during the meeting, representing
every section of Bamberg
county. A number of recommendations
were made, all looking to the
securing of good roads, for the coun
ty and their maintenance after being
built.
The meeting was called as a result
of the meeting together some time
ago of a number of parties interested
in .the matter of good roads. Rev.
W. S. Stokes, of Denmark, was made
chairman of the meeting, and Mr.
G.. Moye Dickinson was made secretary.
Mr. C. W, Rentz, stated briefly,
the objects for which the meeting
was called.
Mr. W. L. Riley read the report
of the committee on organization appointed
at the previous meeting. The
report suggested a mode of procedure
as follows: (a) Resolved, that
we shall have good roads, (b) Howto
secure them and what means shall
be taken to secure them, (c) What
width the principal roads shall be.
(d) How to regulate venicies, especially
timber carts, on public highways.
(e) How to raise funds to
maintain the work?shall a special
tax be laid on automobiles, and if so,
what? (f) Is it advisable to change
our system of county government,
especially insofar as the regulating
and improvement of public roads?
The report especially recommended
that a legislative committee be appointed
to prepare and submit to the
delegation such legislation as may
be desired to carry out the recommendations
of the meeting. *
A general discussion of the report
followed its reading. Some of those
present favored abolishing the present
system of county government,
and going back to the old system of
having three commissioners, and employing
an engineer to take the place
of the supervisor, while others opposed
any change at all. It was
pointed out that under the old system
no progress was made at all, and
it was generally agreed, after discussion,
that any change in this matter
would be inadvisable. Motions
looking to a proposed change were
withdrawn. . ;
As to the width of roads, it was
the concensus of opinion of those discussing
this phase of the matter that
the present law covers this matter,
that is providing that roads shall be
from 24 to 30 feet in width.
Capt. J. B. Guess wanted a law
passed prohibiting log ' carts with
drag in front from traveling on public
roads. Others wanted a special
tax on four-wheel log carts.
As to whether or not a tax should
be imposed on automobiles provoked
a long discussion, finally resulting in
a motion passing recommending that
a? special tax be laid on automobiles
ofr 2oc per horsepower. It was decided
not to recommend any tax on
other vehicles. It was pointed out
that automobiles will reap greater
reward from good roads than other
vehicles, as rough roads served to
break the machines, and the saving
in good roads to automobile owners
would be great in reducing repair j
bills, and ' again the machine owners
do not object to a special tax, in
fact the majority of them have frequently
urged a special tax.
Upon the adoption of the report
of the organization committee, Mr.
W. L. Riley read a proposed constitution
for a permanent organization.
The report was adopted, and the
meeting then was permanently~~organized
into a good roads association.
The following officers were
elected: President, W. S. Stokes;
vice presidents, W. D. Rhoad and Dr.
L, A. Hartzog; secretary and treasurer,
G. Moye Dickinson. Messrs. S.
G. Mayfield and G. M. Dickinson were
appointed a committee to draft bylaws.
An executive committee will
be appointed, later.
Representative Carter stated -that,
he had drafted a bill that he proposed
to offer and work for in the gen
T- 1- 1 T.l 4. ~ <-V, ,-v
erai assemDiy, luuMiig ll? mo .securing
of South Carolina's portion of
the twenty-five million dollars appropriated
by the federal government
for good roads. It was stated that
the county has on hand at present

approximately is ncai vi
debt; that-$13,500 was appropriated
last year for roads, and that the
commutation road tax was added to
this, making a total for roads last
year of about $17,500.
Mr. B. W. Milej offered a motion
that a special levy for good roads
be recommended. Representative
Crum opposed this motion, stating
that we should first endeavor to get
the government money. A motion
to table Mr. Miley's motion was
adopted.

past week as the week of prayer.
Despite the inclement weather the
average attendance was about twenty.
Several afternoons the attendance
was much larger.
We ppreciate very much the interest
taken by some of our friends from
the Methodist church. We are ai-i
ways glad to nave visitors and give
them a cordial invitation to meet
with us at any time.
On Wednesday 4he envelopes, distributed

and Mrs. Hitt are the leaders of these
bands and they are very, enthusiastic
over their work.
Friday and Saturday the meetings
were conducted by special leaders appointed
by the president, Miss Annie
Hartzog.
As a whole the meetings were

TRIP TO FLORIDA AND CUBA. J
Kecent Visitor Describes Charming
Visit to Land of Flowers.
I cannot imagine a land possessing
a greater degree of magnetism than
the Florida east coast. Climate is "
its chief attribute and smiles at you
through the golden sunshine. This,,
with the fragrance of tropical bloom,
is the charm which anpually beckons
the thousands of visitors back to '*
bask in its all-engrossing friendliness.
In the beginning, I will admit that
I am a convert and speak with some
degree of familiarity, this being py J
second visit to Cuba and tne east
coast. Our party this time numbered
40, under the competent guidance' ' ^
of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Gattis, of Raf- J
leigh, N. C. A more congenial and M
igreeable party woul<J be hard to find: 4
The little party from Bamberg consisted
of Mrs. W. E. Spann, Mrs. H. * " J
F. Spann and little daughter, Miss . '
Pearle Counts, and the writer.
The fame of Florida's wonderful
east coast resorts and hotels with
their unrivaled service and equip- v
ment, the diversity and unlimited fa- ;
cilities provided for the enjoyment of ; ;vi'J
outdoor life and sports, makes this
one of the most sought for and the *S|
favorite winter playground in the . |
world. The east coast, beginning at 'Vj
Jacksonville, and extending through -
St. Augustine ana mciuamg cue r iuuda
east coast railway's famous "extension"
th^t carries a full sized rail- k
road 155 miles over the sea.
Our first stop was at the metropolis
vcity of the southeast, Jackson-; ??
ville, where we lunched at the "Neyr
Mason Hotel,".one of the city's best f
hostelries. Then for a tour of- the '
city, including the ostrich and alligator
farms. Riverside is a beautiful
suburban section of elegant reeldences,
surrounded by beautiful j,
lawns, tropical flowers and foliage. ..^al
St. Augustine is quaint in its pic- / -iM
tiiresque beauty, which is mingled 2jl
with its modern gorgeousness in an
enchanting manner. Its great tourist
hotels, the Ponce De Leon and the
Alcazar, are famed among the noted
resort hotels of the world in archi- " Pi
tecture and magnificence. In the rich- J
ness of their decoration and coloring
they are palatial. In service and appointments,
they represent every- ,
thing for which the Florida East
Ccijast Hotel Co. is noted. .
The surrounding grounds are beau- v|
tiful with flowers, tropical trees and \
plants. Palm Beach is said by globe
trotters to be one of the most beau- 1
tiful seaside resorts in the world.
The island on which the peat hotels
stand is separated from the mainland \
by Lake Worth. On the other ide Is
the ocean.
The Breakers, at which we were en- .
tertained, is a large, perfectly appointed
hotel, and its position, with
reference to the sea, attracts many ^
patrons. The climate is such that one M
is always ready for active out-of-door
sports, and boatings hgtbing, go^f and
tennis are freely indulged in. %>.
Miami, attractively situated on .
Biscayne Bay, is not only beautiful
and" picturesque, but its remarkable ^
growth has caused it to be called the
"Magic City." I was told from early
in the fall until late in the spring, the
city is overflowing with people from
ail sections of the country. The-nat- <
* flnrft Wim.
lirai weaiiu ui ouuuuyivw
bined with the magnificent water
front, makes this an ideal selection '
for the accommodation, pleasure, and
happiness of the pleasure seeker. ^
Key West is the terminus of the
wonderful over-sea extension of the J
Florida East Coast railway, where J
steamers connect for Havana. The '4
nine hours boat trip and the entrance r; >
to Havana harbor was especially in- '9
teresting. Havana is a most charm- '
ing city, enchantingly tropical, is M
unique and incomparable as a winteri
resort. It is difficult to describe Havana,
since, from the first glimpse of
the city to the later close contemplation,
one feels an indefinable something
that baffles description. In
3hort, there is that about Havana that
lingers in one's thoughts, like a ^
vision, almost a mystical fascination. '{?
If you want to have the best time,
see much that is interesting and I
worth while remembering, I would
- - ?9
advise a visit to Cuba. In conclusion,
I would suggest to those who contentplate
taking the trip (having made it
at both seasons) that no time is better
than the holiday season. Then
you get the undivided attention. La- v ^
