Asleep at his Post.
Saturday morning at Denmark
[he through freight of the Atlanlic
Coast Line, ruuning between
Augusta and Florence was wrecked
at tiie Southern Railway crossing.
It seems as if Engineer
13 utler is responsible, as it is reported
he was asleep at the time.
At Denmark the tracks of the
Coast Line crosses the Florida,
Central and Peninsular and
the Southern within 300 yards of
each other. The crossing at the
Florida, Central and Peninsular
lc an rnvtin.irv Onp. hilt, at the
Southern a '-derailing switch1' is
used which must be adjusted by
an operator stationed there
for that purpose, who, at a
signal from the whistle of the engine,
adjusts the rails. This is
done to compel all trains to stop.
Those who saw the accident
say that Engineer Butler did not
stop at the Florida Central and

the Southern, and the consequence
is that his engine is now
lying on its back at the bottom
of a 10-foot embankment and
eight box cars partially wrecked.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
