A Willie man named William Bur
ion was in. tautly killed Mond:<>

was run over by a work train on 'thc
Blue Ridge railroad. The body was
horribly mashed and mangled, thc left
leg being cut off and ground to
pieces, his skull fractured and face
cut in several '.placer, while th?
hones all over his body were brok
en.
A wreck occurred on (he Blue
Ridge railroad between Anderson
and Pendleton Monday and ail dur
ing Monday afternoon the work train
consisting of an engine ad one flat
car, waa running between Anderscr
and the scene of tho wreck. Thc
train was in charge of Conductor I?
J. Fredericks while Engineer J. F.
Snipes was at the throttle.
According to the story told by tho
engineer and corroborated by the
other members of the train crew,
they had noticed a man beside the
track several times as tho train went
to and from Anderson and the en
glneer at one time opened the steam
valve of his engine as ho passed In
an endeavor to arouse the sleeping
man. He testified that this did
arouse the man and that be raised
up on one elbow and watched the
train go by and then fell back to the
ground.,.- This was the last the train
crew saw of him.
As the train approached the 121-2
mile post about 10:30 o'ciodk Mon
day night they felt the v. h cl s pass
ing over something but they all con
cluded that lt was a rock cr some
loose pnrth and they were not alarm
ed until a man coming Up the track
brought the news that a man was
dead on Jho track. They returned
with htm and found tbe body.
Coroner Hardin held an ino nest yes

that tho deceased came to his death

Directors of Institution Will Prob
ably Be Heavy Losers But De
positors Are Paid.
Visitors coming to Anderson yes
terday from Calhoun Falls reported
that the Eank of Calhoun Falls had
closed Its- doors and that the institu
tion will j go out of existence. Ac
cording to the account laid here of
the bank's troubles, '.e stringency
in the money market Just at this
time, coupled with tho loss sustain
ed by a shortage In thc accounts of
a former cashier, were too much for
the iustlUii&n ?nd ah? directors ami
officers of the bank found out that
they could no lon regkeep thoir heads
above water.
The officials of the bank announced
Monday that they would no longer
receive any deposits and shortly
thereafter, the doors of the place
were closed.
This bank was six years ago es
tablished in Oalbaun Falls with B.
B. Goes oft aa president In Novem
ber, 1918. .?.# officers were elected
and at tl .) time of the bank going"

J. Hester, pr?sident; W. D. Wilkin
son, cashier; 8. J. Hester, O. O.
Grant. C. H. Taylor, H. H. Hester
and' Thomas H. Russell as direc
tors.
lt is said that the directors are
tho principal stockholders and that
th BJ will be the ones to bear the loss
Incurred 'by thebank failure, since
all the depositors are to bs paid In
tull.
The capital stock of the bank was
$10,000, with a surplus of $1,800. De
posits are said to have amounted to
about $13,000 and the assets of the

amount to about $37.000 with liabil
ities aggregating $33.000.
I Anderson people will regret to hear
