Fourteen Box Cars Smashed to Smithereens?Nobody Hurt. About 4 o'clock Tuesday morning j many of the residents in the vicinity of the Atlantic Coast Line depot were aroused from their early morning slumbers by a thunderous crash that seemed to jar the very foundations of the nearby buildings. The disturbance was caused ! by the wrecking of a heavy through freight train running at a 35-mile clip. One of the cars near the engine had suddenly become derailed across the track and thirteen others, some heavily loaded, crashed into it. The impact was terrific. Cars were piled three deep in the air, rails were ripped from the ties, trucks torn from the cars,the platform shed torn down and wreckage strewn in every direction. Such was the spectacle that greeted those who rose early, rubbed their eyes and went out to find the cause of the thunderous noise. It was the first section of northbound freight No 212 and was in charge of Engineer James Washman I and Conductor T H Wheat. The wreck occurred at the southern end of the depot platform, tearing away about fifty feet of the shed. The wrecked cars piled on top of one another and fell against the stanchions of the shed. The wreck is said to have been caused by the breaking of a truck bar, which caught and pulled up a heavy timber near the crossing, at i the southern ,end of the depot platform. This timber caused one of the front empty cars to leave the track, when twelve others piled upon it in a heap. By daylight a wrecking crew from Florence was on the ground,and under the direction of Wrecking Master Sessums, the work of clearing away the debris and repairing the main track progressed rapidly. About 10 o'clock a second I niM/.Vin(T nrow nrrivpd from Charles VTA?viuu6 V4V,. ? ton,bringing with it Division Super-1 intendent J C Murchison, who took i charge of the situation and directed the work of clearing away the demolished cars from both ends of the line. By 6 o'clock p. m. Tuesday the right-of-way had been cleared sufficiently to permit the regular trains to pass on time. All through trains were detoured via Lanes and Sumter, but local trains Nos 79 and 46 came to Kingstree and transferred passengers and baggage for points north and south. Fortunately no one was injured but the damage and property loss to the railroad company will amount to thirty or forty thousand dollars. One man,{supposed to be a"hobo," in nnu of the wrecked cars ajvaiuft i?a wmv v ? escaped without a scratch. The car in which he was riding ran on top of two others that were heavily loaded with lumber, and was less damaged than any one in the wreck. Throughout the day Tuesday citizens of the town and community thronged about the depot manifesting much interest in the work of the wrecking crews and their wonderful machinery. The children of the Kingstree High and Graded school visited the scene in a body in charge of their respective teachers. The wrecking crews are still at work and it will require several days yet to completely clear the wreckage from the company's right-ofway. ^ Prize Winners.
