Some lady re marked that the cars would be flllel before they could get there, and hearing- thv remark 1 took; hold of - the bridle ef "a horse and said, "Open up a litis and let use pass." After I had gone several steps I looked back and, seeing the horse down, hurried back to render any assistance possible. The check rain was cut and after one jar two efforts on the small round rocks the horse regained his feet and was driven away, - ; I did. not recognize Mr. Man gum at the time, and while on a car down the street told Officer Alderson what had occurred and asked him to find out .who the gentleman was if he could, and - tell him I wanted to see him. Tuesday; morning I made every off ort to learn the party's name, and about 13 o'clock, while asking about it. vas told by Mr. Jno. S. Jones that It was Mr. Tim Mangum. Failing to reach i Mr. Mangum over the 'phone, I at once telephoned his' family and re quested them to say to, Mr. Mangum that I wanted to see him and make good the damage, if any, caused by the fall of : his horse. That afternoon about 4 o'clock I met Mr. Mangum on the street and, after talking the mat ter over ; in a friendly way. he mg gested that he would leave it to three to tlx the damage, which was entirely satisfactory to me. Up to that time I knew nothing whatever of the claim filed before Mr, Separk. Mr. Mangum then, told me about the papers, but said as soon as he received the mes sage that I wanted to see him ordered them stopped. . Wednesday morning we agreed that several gentlemen look at: the horse and .whatever they s-id we would abide by. The only damage found was a alight ut n the horse's left - hind leg, but Mr. Mangum had gone -to 'Sbme expense and' he vas awarded fifteen dollars, which was en tirely satisfactory to both of us. ; The, horse was not Jerked and did not fall while I had hold of him. but I do, not believe he would have fallen had -I pot stopped htm, and Itr was nothing more than - right that I pty full damage, -which-I did.

Say Tliat They Are Deslrons of Having 'the Montgomery Lumber Company .Railroad Build Into Raleigh. The business men of Raleigh 'are always alive to any opportunity that will be of interest to the city and that will aid in its development and upbuilding. A very enthusiastic and well attend ed meeting of the Chamber of Com merce and Merchants' Association was held last night at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, to consider bringing a new railroad into Raleigh. The road in question is the Mont gomery Lumber Company Railroad. Mr. Guy . I. Buell, president of the Montgomery Lumber Company, and Mr. R. L. Hutfines, of Rocky Mount, president of the North State Develop ment Company, were present at the meeting, to discuss the advisability of bringing this road into Raleigh. ' This road now reaches a point nine miles this side of Spring Hope, making it about twenty-three miles from Raleigh and the management of the road is determined to extend its line, this city being looked upon as the most desirable place to which it could be run. The proposition to bring the road here met with unanimous favor by those present at the meeting. Vari ous prominent business men of the city made short talks before those assembled, showing the immense value of bringing such a railroad to Raleigh. It was shown that a road from this section of the State would mean a more direct road to ths sea, thus enabling a lower rate of ship ment to be had by the merchants and others of this city. 8uch a road, coming as it does from the direction from which the greatest amount of business of the city is carried on, would tend to give Raleigh greater possibilities along this line than it has heretofore had. . Both Mr. Buell and Mr. Humnes spoke of being most favorably impressed with the advant ages of Raleigh from a commercial standpoint, believing it to be one of the most progressive cities in the State. Raleigh now suffers from being somewhat in the hands of what might be called a railroad monopoly, and the opening of a new road giving a more direct line- to transportation by water, would enable it to obtain bet ter rates and quicker shipments. It also means that a new territory would be opened to the' business of the city, and one which cannot be reached In any other way. Without a single exception, every speaker expressed himself as being hartlly In favor of the new movement. believing it to be for the best Interests of Raleigh and a means of greater prosperity and progress. This proposition comes from men of unquestionable integrity, men who have proved to the people of the State that whatever they enter into is? car ried out in an honest and stralghtfor ward way. Mr. Buell and Mr. HufSnes. while here, were entertained by - the Mer chants' Association and .expressed their thanks for the courtesies - they had received. 1 - . Before adjournment a motion was carried, to select a "committee of five representative citizens of Raleigh to look Into the matter and endeavor to arrange with the management cf the road, satisfactory terms by which this new road, which means so much to the business Interests of Raleigh, could be brought into the city from Spring Hope.
