And, when the danger was past,

thanksgiving to God (4r his great

all through bygone years and she
prays for you still. It was she
who t mght you to sayjyour simple
prayer each evening &$ you knelt

care and sorrow was poured into

Especial to the Charlotte Ob

18th, says : . -
Before Judge Spears Reynolds
iu the city police court this morn
ing at 9 o'clock District Passenger
Agent James H. Wood, of the
Southern Railway, also a member
of the board of aldermen of Ashe
ville, and O. C. Wilson, ticket sel
ler for the Southern at the local
passenger station, were tried on a
charge of violating the new State
rate law of 2 1-4 cents a mile for
transportation, convicted and sen
tenced to the county chain gang
for 30 days each.
Messr8.Wood aud Wilson, ar
rested last night, remained in the
custody of a deputy sheriff at a
local hctel during the night and
were in court promptly, at 9
o'clock this morning. The cases
wejd called first. The prosecnting
witness, T. J. Harmon, went on
the stand and testified that Sun
day he purchased a ticket from
Asheville to Canton from Ticket
Seller Wilson, that the distance
was 20 miles and that for the tick
et he was-charged 60 cents, a sum
greater than 2 1-4 cents pel mile.
The Observer's Raleigh corres
pondent, of Friday, gives out the
the following r
The sensational trial of the
Southern Railway Company and
City Ticket Agent Green fof vio
lating the new State 2 cent pas
senger rate law which threatened
an interference of a Federal court
process to arrest-the trial in the
State court, terminated this eve
ning in the State court with a
verdict of guilty both as to the
Southern and Agent Green and
the imposing of a $30,000 fine, on
the Southern and a nominal fine
on Agent Green who pledgpd him
self not to further violate the
law. Green was given the choice
of abandoning the sale of tickets
and paying a nominal fine or
standing out against the State
curt and receiving a sentence to
prison and possibly to the chain
gang. In-choosing to pay a fine
he stated he felt he was guilty of
no- wrong; but he had an aged
and ill mother who could: not un
derstand the situation and, lest
further resistance might etnbitler
her life, he would not resist fur
ther. , The understanding is that
Green will be given some other
position with the Southern.
"However, issues may end for
the Southern at Asheville the
case will probably be carried right
up to the United States Supreme
Court and there will be affidavits
i
setting out that the prosecution
I of the southern s agent is as
in
Raleigh forcing their agents
to
leave their service, thereby wrck
ing the business of the company
Southern counsel claim they score
an advautage by Green's having
been forced from their service
" As . to the fine of " $30,000 the
Southern has ten days in which to
file notice of appeal.

The Landmark mentioned 'the

no rain was to fall until ' hjerre

has since' fallen and M.v.N. Hall,
who banks on this sign, was asked
to explain, and he answered
promptly. It didn't rain in
btatesville or this immediate vi
cinity, but it rained elsewhere.
The Virgin takes cognizance of
conditions all about, not tor one
locality, and so she took her cloak
and umbrella. That s why it
rained since she started ; she was

bates his success to planting in

He says he has tried spring grow
ing only to find it a failure. "If
you want to grow onions success

them in October. First put your

working will be sufficient after the
onions get out of the ground. They
will stand all sorts of weather and

Cheap and Good Phone Service. City's
Valuation Should Have Been Doctored.
Lexington Dispatch, July 17th.
v
The assessed valuation of prop
erty last year was $1,283,289, and
the tax rate was $1.05 on the hun
dred and $3.15 on the poll This
year there vill be an increase of
$50XX) in the valuation, and the
rate is increased 25 cents on the
hundred and 75 cents on the poll.
The small increase in the valua
tion is somewhat of a surprise
aud. disappointment. Lexington
could easily have a valuation of
13,000,000, and if it did, the rate
could be cut down in proportion
to the increase in valuation.
The Metal Bed Company has
been placed in the hands of a
temporary receiver, Wade H.
Phillips. Esq., who was appointed
by Judge M. M, Justice. On the
26th, in Asheboro, Judge Justice
will hold a final hearing on the
matter, We understand that the
iabilities are about $14,000 and
the asserts $20,000, and that the
company will be able to liquidate
its indebtness. The capital stock
is $12,000 and numbers of people
are shareholders. Meanwhile the
industry 5s being operated and
will continue to be.
The people of Lexington ought
to be thankful for good telephone
service and reasonable rates.
While numerous other towns are
having all sorts of 'phone troubl
es, .Lexington is satisfied. The
service is all that is needed or
wanted, and the rates are $L25
per month for residences and $2.25
for business houses. Until night
service was put on, the" rates were
$1 and $2. Efficient operators
give prompt response at any time,
night or day, oron Sunday. The

A peculiar and almost fatal ac
cident occurred near Michael,
about three miles from Lexington,
last week while the threshing out
fit of Hege & Pickett was at work.
It is a new outfit and they have a
ene engine. Whil9 the ma
chine was running the belt flew
off of the separator and struck
John L. Hege on the
legs. The
engine, quicker tl,
itakes to
tell it, snatched the" Dh-p uud
canght Hege in its folds. He was
drawn to the engine before it could
be shut down, and when right at
the fly wheel, he was thrown clean
across the engine, hitting one of
his brothers as he fell and knock
ing him down. Hege was dead to
the world for quite a while, it
being fully a quarter of anhour
before he showed any signs of
breathing. He was pretty badly
bruised and shocked, but the phy
sician did not think that ho was
seriously hurt. The man he hit
when he landed got a pretty stiff
jar. -
