ALL ON A SUMMER DAY. Charlotte Observer. The weather was rather warm Sun day, but one can always get a fine breeze while bowling along over a good road in an automobile. The roads, of course, were full of machines all over the state. The Caroleen fam ily—young man, his wife, eight months-old baby, nine years old child and his mother —were traveling along j the State highway near Ellenboro. It; was open country and a railroad crossing was half a mile ahead of , them. Coming toward the crossing j about the same distance away was a 1 Seaboard train. Both automoblie and train were in plain sight of each oth er; the engineman—who happened to be the same Capt. J. G. Gaskerville, exploited in Sunday’s Observer as the engineer who hauled the train to Mc- Alpine’s Creek, 50 years ago in cele bration of the connecting of the link between Charlotte and Wilmington— j sounded the crossing signal, loud and long. He did not know it, but the people in the autmobile did not hear or heed, as afterwards developed from the statements of the survivors that they did not even realize they were approaching a crossing, much less did they apprehend that a train was bear ing down upon them. Their first real ization of danger was when they were being hurled through the air. The young man’s mother was killed, the baby escaped unhurt, as did the child, although it was thrown 40 feet. The young woman was badly injured; the man unharmed by the experience. Two hours later, the body of the elder wo man lay in a casket in a Shelby un dertaker’s shop. | A two-family load in a new automo bile, with the drive-slow for the first 500 miles caution on the windshield, heard, while on the streets of Ruther fordton, of the accident at Ellenboro. i They at once headed for the scene— i three men and two women. They had not gone far when they encountered ! a curve in the road where it takes the form of an embankment. The au | tomobile did not follow the curve, but 1 rolled over and over into the field be- I low. The whole party was gathered ; up and sent to the hospital in Ruther fordton, the men badly injured ard one of the women.'believed to be fat all v so. “The last thing I noticed,’* said the driver of the car, “she was making fifty miles.” All this appeared as occurrences of the matter-of-course sort. The cor j respondents up that end of the line did not even regard it as of suffici ent importance to telegraph the paper, i No groups assembled on the streets of Shelby to discuss what was going on in the undertaker’s shop. Two men \ met at the Norwegian’s store and one j was telling what he had heard of it. He had stated that one woman was killed. “Oh, was that all?” was the somewhat indifferently curious ques tion by the other man. To such an extent has the public become callous ed to the automobile accident! OLIVE ON LIFE AND DEATH. Benson, Rt. 3, May 7.—1 think the subject of life and death should be se riously considered by all for all peo ple know mankind has to die some time, that not one soul shall escape. Jesus told Martha that whosoever liv eth and believeth on Him shall have eternal life. Having died to sin once and being a new man he will die no more for sin is cast out of him. We understand that there is danger in disobeying yet God chastiseth his own stray sheep and brings them back to him for we have once died and now live unto Christ so the poet says in “Going Home to Die No More.” If Christians would study more about this I believe their faith would ; increase and they would not be tossed i about so much by doubts and fears, j The wicked shall die forever for the i Bible tells us that Hell is everlasting ! death and that sinners are receiving their just deserts for the wages of sin is death. It is not God’s will that they are lost but it is justice for their I own sinfulness and neglect. The sin ner is warned that his lot is eternal death and that the righteous shall re , ceive everlasting life. God bids the I sinner to choose whom he will serve j and it appears that many are making j a dreadful choice. It is terrible to think of a soul fall i ing into hell where death is not and iis unquenched. Friends think of this j and turn to the Lord, He will help t you. Jesus bids you pray. Think of , the poor publican who went down to be justified rather than the Phara see. Unless you repent you also shall perish. Now is the time to be accept ed. The Devil will say no, wait until tomorrow and you have listened to him as he advised until much of your ! life is past. Unless you get eternal life while on earth what will become of you in eternity? Do you realize that each time you postpone the ac ceptance of Christ you are obeying Satan ? Some one may say that the Bible says the prayer of the sinner availeth nothing. I defy any man to prove it is God’s word regardless of whom he may be. Have you ever thought what kind of a place you would go to if God was to call you into eternity? Are you ready, are you willing to go and preach the gospel to all creatures ? The Gospel says, “Go ye into the world and preach my gospel to every creature and he that believe shall be saved.” Jesus bids us pray and He means to pray from your heart with worldly things banished from your thoughts for while we enjoy this life we must prepare for the next and this life is short while the next is everlasting. I want to meet my friends in glory having made peace with God and I thank God for giving me the privilege of writing in His behalf but I would prefer to speak to you face to face. When God’s children are gathered to gether there will be no one there who will care for the things of the world more than they do for God’s love. I have known men to shun the church. May God help them to think, to turn', and to repent for there is an eternal hell for the unrighteous and there is J everlasting life of the believers of • Christ. J. T. OLIVE. _ LOOK AT IOUR LABEL . I GENERAL NEWS BRIEFS. Short Items of Common Interest to All. Washington.—Complete figures cov ering the government’s financial operations for the fiscal year ending !

Jacksonville, Fla.—Tragedy today stalked in the wake of what was to have been a bridal party.

Standing at Artists’ Point, overlooking the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone National Park, the chief executive was asked what he thought of the scene before him. He admitted his inability to reply, say ing that the grandeur of the canyon was beyond his power to describe. I Mobile, Ala. —In the first six months of 1923 ending June 30, there were 15 lynchings in the United States, accord ing to the records compiled by the Tuskegee normal and industrial insti tute.

A dozen times I’ve said it Some warm word to its discredit, Some derogatory adjective beginning with a “d”, “It’s a soporific session “It’s ultimate transgression “It’s as newsy as an epitaph of 1863” “It’s editor’s a moron He’s a man I’m always sore on; His head’s a Faber number two and paste is in his veins” “His sheet’s an anaesthetic, Tempered by a mild emetic; It has every sort of childishness, ex cepting growing pains.” Yes, it’s “sad” and it is “sloppy”, But when I find a copy, When on some sad vacation far away from home and biz, Oh, my comrades, what a capture, As I seize oh it with rapture, For the dear old home town paper is the only one which is.
