SHORTESTRALWAY OBSERVES SABBATH * i Six Cars of Due West Equipmest Suspends for Day - | Due West, 8. C., Jan. 18 UP—This | town, of about 500 population situ- ated in the Pledmont section of South Carolina, has two boasts. It ip the seat of one of the oldest col- leges in the south and headquarters of a four mile railway, one of the| shortest in the world. | ! Not but once in its 21 years of cxistence has a train been run over the railway on Sunday. That once was a lifc and death matter. One Sunday in 1915 a young woman's lite hung in the balance from an acute illness. It was necessary to rush her to a hospital in Charlotte, | N.C. . The only way to do it was to take her over the Due West railway to| Donalds, the railway’s terminus and there make connections with another | railway line. R. S. Galloway, presi- dent of the railway, was attending | church when the urgent summons came and after being assured that| it was a case of dire necessity he gave permission for the train to run | for its first and last time on Sunday. | It is not written in the charter of | the railway that no trains are to be run on the Sabbath, Mr. Galloway | explains, “but it is in our minds and | hearts.” “Qur"” refers to the people of Due West, the majority of whom are members of the Associated Reform- | ed Presbyterian church. The entire equipment of this bricf | but ofticial railroad consists of one flat car, one passenger coach, one | combination passenger and freight | coach and two engines. | 08 KILLED BY TROLLEY | WAITING IN AUTO| | Man Dies and Three Companions | Hurt in Brockton, Mass., Crash Brockton, Mass, Jan. 18 (UP)— While sitting in their disabled auto- mobile, awaiting the arrival of a wrecking crew, one young man “asl‘ killed and three companions s ously injured when the machine was demolished by a trolley car near the Easton line early today. Nathan Caplin, 26, is dead. Frank Stone, 27, received a fracture of the left leg and other injuries; Miss Marion Albanys, 21, several broken ribs and severe cuts, and Miss Alice Callahan, 21, fractured pelvis and: severe cuts on the head and arms. | The three who were injured were | reported in a serious condition at| Brockton hospital. All victims of | the accident were well known here, having participated in amateur the- ‘atrical productions. The two couples were driving to South Easton when their car skid- ded on the icy road and swerved on- to the car tracks. It was found that | \ wheel had been damaged and| Stone went to a house and telephon- ed to a garage for a wrecking crew. It was after he had returned to the ‘car, while the four were await- ing the arrival of the garagemen, that the trolley car, operated by Frank Costello of Rockland and en route from Brockton to Taunton, crashed into the automobile, | The trolley car was traveling at| high speed and the automobile was hurled 200 feet. The motorman told police that a dense fog prevented him from seeing the car in time to wold the accident. A free municipal school of bee- | cceping has been established in Buenos Afres, Argentina.
