•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.
PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
Death of Mrs. Harriet A. Wood.
Mrs. Harriet A. Wood died at her
home at I’acolet on Tuesday, flit* 19th
inst, at the advanced age of 7(i years.
Mrs. Wood was the wife of James
Wood, Esq., who survives her at the
age of 82. She was the mother of A.
N. Wood, Mosses Wood, .Mrs. Sallie
A. Lipscomb, Mrs. Atlanta I fry ant,
Airs. Louise If. 1 frown and Miss T.
E. Wood, all of whom are still living.
Mrs. Wood was a lovable Christian
woman and a consistent member of
the Methodist church. Her gentle
ness of manner and generous hand
will be missed mostly by those who
were fortunate enough to be her close
friends. The funeral services were
conducted Wednesday by the Rev.
Mr. Porter, of the Methodist church,
assisted by Revs. James and Itrock of
the Presbyterian and Baptist
churches respectively. A large con
course of relatives and friends accom
panied the remains tc the cemetary
where loving and gentle bands laid
all that was earthly of Harriet A.
Wood to rest.
To Ledger Subscribers.
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.
'Phe public generally will be more
than delighted to bear that the “Ze
nith Minstrels,” our home talent
burnt cork artists, have arranged to
give another of their peerless enter
tainments tonight at the Seminary.
The programe for tonight will be
replete with bran new songs, music,
dances and jokes and will eclipse all
former elTorts. ft is indeed remark
able what talent some of our young
people have displayed in the creation
of amusement and their production
for tonight would do credit to u troup
of professionals. “Hi Henry” pales
into positive insignificencc beside
them.

About the Cold Weather.
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.
