A Greensboro dispatch of the 26th to the Raleigh Post says: "The Superior Court has just decided a damage suit which is just a litto bit out of the ordi nary. Miss Bertha Fritts brought suit against the South ern Railway for $2,000 damages for injuries sustained in board i- liie .lame safety for matte? On the routes Us at. the central of fices. Some one has noted as object' innable tho doing away with great many rural post offices This is hardly an objection for these offices are not profitable but are conducted largoly as a neighborhood convenience and most of the post masters would be only too glad to bo relieved by a more convenient method. In every community there are those who take a lively progres sive interest in affairs. If these will call at the post office here ;hey can obtain the necessary form of blank petition and in struction that they may desire. The system is doubtless boom to our rural inhabitants and when installed will be some thing like the stock law, no one wiJl wish to do away whh it. As to boxes, while there are some who could got up some thing, probably just as good, the government can only protect boxes approved by it and cannot be subjact to the aunoyauce of lower grades.

In irettin on the ear ! of Pol'ce Jo,les of Shelby turned her knee was struck by the va lise of a passeuirer who was alighting, the injury being quite painful. The attorneys for the defendant contended that the in jury was not due to the negli gence of the defendant company, and hence was not a cause of ac tion. The matter, was argued at considerable length, and it was thought by some that Judge Shaw would "throw the case out of court. lie decided otherwise, however, and allowed the facts to go before tho jury, when a verdict for the full amount was rendered. The attorneys for the railroad will fight the case in the Supreme Court." Suppose that every body else as well as the railroads and large corporations were sued for large amounts for every little injury received. The ordinary man j would be afraid to hire a hand or I allow people to come about lest i some little unavoidable mishap up Sunday night in that town and when they would have ar rested him he shot at some half dozen men and then escaped. It is believed that he has been harbored in Shelby all this time though there are rewards on him amounting to about $600. Money rewards do not go far with some of these criminal harboring ne groes. Probaoly a watermelon reward would prove more ef fectual. The Iiee Rifles, of Charlotte, have changed their name to Hornet Nest Riflemen to perpet uate that name of historic pride that Mecklenburg will hardly ever allow to drop, into disuse. From the same spirit of pride, while there is a military company in Cabarrus th i name of Cabar rus Biackboys should have a (living perpetuation. Our great ' regret is that we have not the sivo mind turns tO learn lessons of fidelity to principle and of human sacrifice for one's native land, Richmond is the Mecca at which the worshipful heart de lights to bend the kn9e and offer emotional homage to the mem ory of deeds and events that will forever stir the souls of the true and the noble. State Superintendent Toon has decided that a boy does not have to have on a coat at the public schools in the State. A shirt waist will do. The case in point came up from High Point where a lady appealed to him over the superintendent. It seems a wonder that such thing should ever come up. We never knew before that, except in military or female schools where uniforms were adopted, anything more in dress was demanded thau abso lute neatness. would rob them of all tho clear proceeds for years.

ABOUT FREE MAIL DELIVERY. ' Since the movement for free rural delivery of mail has taken root in the minds of the people we learn they do not tire of hear ing about it but want to know more and more. At the risk of repeating but with the hope of informing some who do not fully understand, and with the hope that our country people will se cure what is next to town life, as to the ma;l facilities, and still enjoy all the advantages of ru ral lifo, wo continue to touch on the vital matter. A route "must bo L'O to L'5 miles long and should accomodate 100 families without retraversing the same way. The roads should be passable for all kinds of weather People cannot have the mail delivered at their homes unless they live on the road. It is simply impossible. Nor cau a great many people in town get their mail without going a mile or more for it. But by buying a box and putting it upeveiy facility may bo enjoyed. You drop in your letter and the mail man does the rest If you want stamps put the money in the box with a note stating what it is for and you will tind the stamps there waiting for you when the mail man has come and gono. He is practically a traveling post office and is cap able of being a market man also in as far as it docs not interfere with his mail rarryintr. Patrons will have to buy boxes approved by the department. Then 1h government will pro tect them. Carriers are bound in $500 bond for the faithful per formance of duty feet today. Mr. Freeman having a contract with his house with which he has been connected for 17 years will still travel till the first of the year when he will take personal supervision over the business. Mr. S L Kluttz will conduct it till then. As we favored the' fostering of this home enterprise under its origi nal ownership we trust that what ice is needed in the city will be supplied by the new pro prietor and that the enterprise will receive an undivided patronage. The editor was pleased to re ceive a call today (Tuesday) from Mr. Benjamin Jay Barrier of St. Louis Mo., a member of the co operative company manufactur ing Ralstou's Breakfast Food. From a few moments of pleasant intercourse we two of a namo believe the family tree would find us twigs of an original trunk the scion sprig of which was transplanted from Germany into Pennsylvania soil : from which has branched out but few sprangling boughs, the heaviest of which oyershows Rowan and the Dutch side of Cabarrus. Our cousin fiom the west is of ap pearance that seems to add lus tre to the stock and his calling is true to the traditions for something good to eat. Our third very interesting communication "The Confeder ate Capital" has been crowded out for several days butap'joars today.

Tho last resting place of tho mortal re mains of Jefferson Davis, A P Hill, of scores of hundreds, nay, thousands of earth's bravest heroes, who fought and died to uphold the honor of our bonny blue Hag, and drive back tho in vador from our land, is found in Hollywood! This most beauti ful, in natural sceney, of all tho cemeteries of tho world, lies in tho southwestern portion of that city where the Confederacy lived and died. Over hill and dale, through grove and plaiii, its splendid expanse, extends for miles, with here and there a granite shaft, or marble slab to mark its illustrious dead. No word ol tongue or pen can fitly describe its scenes. Only by a personal visit is it pcssible to understand the real grandeur which this city of ton!bs enfolds. Within its bounds are written, in characters which will never fade, pages of history so true j that eternity will scarce blot I them out. Deeds of daring and acts of bravery are recorded there, the like of which the world has never elsewhere seen. Facts are proven by. the mounds of those many slopes, that for ever must put to ihame the falsehoods and columnies that men have tried to invent. IIol lywood stands today, a living epistle, whose statements cannot be denied, and whose light, in a world darkened by untruth and prejudice, will shine on undira med, till time shall be no more. Away out in the western end of the cemetery, on a beautiful spot, in view of many miles of Virginia soil, and overlooking the noble river which goes rush' nJ? hy, is the Jefferson Davis square- In its centre is the magnificent emblem of law and order. On a pedestal of superb simplicity stands erect the bronze" statue of the President of our short lived nation. The figure is a commanding one, and no honest eye, looking upon the stern but manly features, as they are chiseled there can ever daubt the bravery, or can ever harbor thoughts of credence for the false reports of the charac ter of him who stood at tho helm and guided so well, the ship of state over those tempestuous seas, to nis rignt, is a vacant place, left for the companion of his life, while at the left hand. erected ty her sisters in a com mon cause, a beautiful angel of peace guards the tomb of her who was indeed a "Daughter of tie Confederacy." Many an unmarked gravo is found in that vast sepulture, and yet, not one, that cannot bo accounted for ! Square after square of little mounds, tell of some soldier dead, with only u number to reveal his identity, but beside each sqare is an iron tablet with this short but loving inscription, "Cated for by the Company" or else ,-ln perpetual Care," which declares, they arc- not "forgotten. Counties and towns have well attested their devotion by erecting monuments to their own brave soldiers whom they loved. Cities and states have added perhaps a greater glory to these men they gave, by dedicating to thoir memory a beautiful marble shaft, but on the highest point of the hills of Hollywood, in the midst of those thousands of soldiers graves there stands the grandest, the most sublime, of all the noble memorials of the southern heroes who are gone! Its simplicity is its attraction, a pyramid of mag nificent proportions built of huge stones from all the southern states, its base more than forty feet square and rising in mag nificence, ninety feet in the air with no mortal to spoil i!s up " elv.te ctiiM'." Heroes, martyrs, men, they guv iheir lives he cause they believed it right and now' they lie resting, wailing the coming of day. liailroutt From Ni n Lmnlnii Ir tbo Fulls A Salisbury special of tho 1st' to tho Charlotte Observer has tho following interesting item. Tho connecting track from the Yadrfin Railroad to theNarrows, where the Whitney Reduction Company is preparing to develop the great power available for transmission to Salisbury, Con cord, Charlotte and other towns in this section, is to be built by tho company itself. Tho Obser ver correspondent is informed by Capt. E C B Hamley, who has charge of tho Whitney interests Negotiations with the Southern regarding the building of the branch line failed and the com pany has therefore taken the matter into its own hands. It will, however, leave the haulage to the railroad company, under a special contract. The track will leave the Yadkin Railroad at New Loudon and will bo seven miles in lengtn. Materials lor its construction have already been ordered and preliminary work will begin next week. This connecting track is absolutely necessary to tho company to transport heavy materials for the dam on the river and its completion must precede any other work, surveys having al ready been finished and the plans pi epared. The company is for tunate in having an abundance of stone immediately at hand. Cupt. Hambley estimates that tho developments will bo com pleted in two years.

JThis is, practically, the end of, a very sensational episode. It will be remembered that the verdict of the coroner's jury charged Lyle with the murder of Newton La nier, who was found dead near this city lost August. ,Au analy sis of the? contents of Lanier's stomach by a chemist dJsclosed the presence of a large quantity of morphine; supporting the theory that Lanier had com mitted suicide or, at any rate, had taken the poison voluntarily. The grand jury failed to find a bill for murder against Lyle, but acted upon testimony that showed that Lyle had tricked or swindled the dead man out of $20. J S Crenshaw, the farmer who shot and killed Reddie 'McDon ald, colored, in his watermelon patch, was also sentenced to a term of six months imprisonment in the county jail. Through his counsel, Mr. E T Cansler, the defendant appealed.- -Charlotte Observer. It will bo remembered that the Charlotte Observer offered $200 for the arrest of Lyle. believing that ho had murdered Lanier. I 1 Pule, I'll ) T Children.
