•A HUGE RAILROAD WRECK. twenty-two freight cars DEMOLISHED. Indescibable Crash on the Southern at Thickety Bridge—Great Damage Done and Trains Much Delayed. Local freight train No. M passed Tuesday just after the vestibule going south and it tumbled all over itself this side of the high steel bridge over Thickety creek, six miles from this city. The engine left the rail but re mained on the bridge. The tender and twenty-two loaded cars were piled in an indescribable and bewil dering mass on the track and did not go on the bridge. The train was in charge of Con ductor Clapp, Engineer L’ettus and Fireman Henson. It is supposed that the rails spread and the tender left the track first. The engineer jumped but the fireman stayed on. It is quite remarkable that there was no personally injury except a slight one to a eolored train hand. Superintendent Ryder and a wreck ing train from Charlotte were on the scene as soon as they could get ther ■ and went about immediately clearing the track and trying to save as much as posible of the goods. At places where the debris had been removed the'roadway was found plowed up several feet deep. The South bound passenger train was held at Calfney and the North bound train was held ^it Thickety station, where the passengers waited for hours to get by. The larger por tion of the freight was heavy grocer ies. The mails were transferred and ordered to run via the S., U. «fc C., and 0,. C. & A. Wednesday a great crowd was gathered about the wreck all day and the debris piled twenty feet high. After all the goods had been re moved which could be saved a torch was applied and now scarcely a ves- age remains to mark the spot of one of the most stupendous railroad wrecks on record.

The Li:ih .iu is now a year old. We have a m/mlier of subscribers on our list who have not paid up. The low price at which the paper is published will not allow us to loose money on persons who subscribe and do not pay in advance. The chief reason for placing any names on our subscrip tion list without pay in advance was that a number of papers bad been started here and did not run any length of time and those that did pay in advance were the loosers. Not so with this enteiprise. The company was able to run it through and there - fore were willing to take the names of good and worthy people and allow them i o pay at't lie ex pi rat ion of l heir subscription. Now wo want the j money. Its oil".-- because v ■ have carried out our part of the contract. That’s business. This paper is run on a business principle and we want those wiio do business with us to do it in a business way. The paper will i ot be sent to persons who do not \ * pay when their subscription is due. unless they settle, so eome in and pay up or send m the cash by mail. . -•#*- - The Zenith Minstrels Tonight.

As our people are somewhat con cerned about the snow and cold weather I thought 1 would give them a little history of the past to cheer them along. Solamon says: “There is nothing new under the sun, and what lias been will be again.” Seventy-nine years ago, iSlfi, is known as the cold year. Frost and ice in August in New York. The ice was an inch thick, corn froze up, not enough made for seed in our state. There was frost every month except two in that year. My father, as exe cutor for the estate of David Lip scomb. sold corn at public auction, in the spring of 1817. at $ t'M.lo per barrel, which was $8.01 per bushel, and their seed corn was of the year of 18ir>. How will this do for cold weather? In the thirties, it was so eold that trees hursted open. In 1845), there was a big snow on the loth day of April, and frost and ice for a week after. In iShfi, the ground was covered with snow for six weeks. That year I went to Georgia thfough the snow with a two horse wagon, in January and come home in Feb ruary through the snow. In Jan uary, 1701, I moved seven miles in a bigger one than this. I got up at day break and loaded two wagomTand drove seven mules seven miles up and seven miles down, and would never go to a lire from day light until night and did not suffer with cold. On the second of March, 1S72, a big snow. In 1880 and 81, snow in abundance more than there is now, deep.
