'MR J O HARRELL
1 RILLED BY TRAIN
A TRAGIC ACCIDENT OCCURRED
NEAR LANES MONDAY?STUCK
BY PASSENGER TRAIN 78.
Mr J Q Harrell, roadm;ister for
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad between
Charleston and Florence, was;
instantly killed late Monday evening
near I^anes by train 78, the local
passenger train from Charleston
to Florence.
Mr rfarreli, with a negro helper,
was riding toward Kingstree on the
motor car, and owing to the thick
smoke from burning debris along
the track did not become aware of the
approach of the train until it was
almost upon him. The negro helper
who was on the truck with Mr
Harrell, with his face toward the
train, told Mr Harrell of its approach,
but the roadmaster, thinking
he could reach Lines ahead of
the train, paid no heed. He might
have saved his life, had he jumped
from the motor car as his negro
helper did, who escaped unhurt.
Mr Harrell was about45 years old.
He entered the service of the A C L
as section hand when quite a young
man and worked himself up to roadmaster.
He was l>orn in the Cades
section and for years Lis been a
familiar personage at this place as
he passed up and down the road.
He formerly lived at Florence, but
recently moved his family to Lanes.
He was a member of Walnut Camp,
\\ oodmen of the World, fie leaves
a widow and several children.
Mr Harrell was very popuplar
with the men under him and with
other employees with whom he
came in contact, and was held in
high esteem by the officials of the
road.

The Story of a Dime.
I am just a slick old dime. Once I
was shiny and new. I had nine sisters,
and we were all given to a boy
on his birthday. He looked at us a
long while, then decided to put me
in his small bank. I was very happy.
But one day he came and put me in
his purse with a nickel and a penny,
and started to church. But on his
way he traded me for an ice cream
cone, some fruit and candy. I was
then used to buy a cigar, and my
heart was heavy when I dropped into
a cash register. Put soon I was
needed for change, and found myself
with nine other dimes. I held
my breath. I was chosen again, this
time by a little girl tfor her small
bank. I lay quite still for a long,
long time, but by and by was put on
a train and carried to New York.
From there I was sent across the
ocean to France and Belgium by the
American Red Cross to help the little
starving children there.
