WI^CK ■V ' Engineer Killed Fireman Hurt-Engineand Seven Cars Derailed Is it possible we can not have a better attendance at_the churches in tmr town} At the Young People’s Union Ht the Baptist church last Friday night only four persons were present, and «t the League T::esday night a very «mall number were in attendance. -It does not seem possible in a town tof a thousand inhabitants that only four persons had enough forethought to honor the house of God and the '^kstor with “theiir |»r«seneeat this aneeting. It is very discouraging to the S>reacherto get up and deliver an ■eloquent piece of oratory on the *Ooskel of Jesus Christ to a mere bandfttl of an audieace. No doubt it apprcciated by those who take an interest in such work, but those that Vieed repetltance worse are those ^ho do not attends 5’bere «-e but few married men ^ho attend services at any of the «hi»rches; but the young men of the )>laee« growing up, take much more ^interest than the elder ones in religi- «us wArk.

Jno. L. Bailey, Executor. Elm City. N. C., Oct. 15, 1902. A Startling Surprise. Very few could believe in looking at A. T. Hoadiey, a healthy robust blacksmittr of Tilden, Ind.,- that for ten "ears he suffered such tortures from Bkeumatism as few could en> dura and live. But a wonderful change followed his taking Electric Bitters. “Two bottles wholly cured, me,” he writes, “and I have not felt a twingo in over a year.” They regulate the Kidneys, Purify the blood and cure Rheumatism, Neu ralgia, Nervousness. improve diges tion and give perf*»ct health. Try Saturday night at 11:38 o’clock No. 35, southbound passenger tjain,' crashed into a freight which was pulling in on the side track here. ■ The engine, No. 202, of the. pas senger train struck the freight about the third car from the engine, di- yiding the train and splintering into kindling wood seven cars, including the mail and baggage cpaches. The engine of the passenger train leav ing the rails dashed into the side oT the bank, rolling over on one side, the mail coach jumping, passed the engine about a car’s length. Engineer Corrie was fatally in jured and the fireman, who was shovelling coal at the time, jumped, bruising and cutting himself right badly. Strange to say those who were in the mail coach, which was next to the engine, escaptsd with but little injnry. Fortunately, not any of the passengers were badly hurt,so me getting shockcvl, but noth ing serious. The names of those who were in jured are: Charley Emery, Weldon, N. C., sprained aiikle, caused by jumping from train; Mrs. Shackle ford, Trenton, N. J., cuts on arm and hand; lady from Washington City, head bruised. Mail agents Wolta, Haly and Mitchell were slightly injured. Mr. Woltz and the colored fireman were sent to the A. C. L. Hospital at Rocky Mount. The wrecking crew from Rocky Mount went immediately to work to clear the track. All trains were delayed until 1:45 m,. when the first passenger train No. 48, northbound, passed. Engineer Corrie, of Florence, S. C., stuck bravely to his post, but too late to prevent the meeting of the two trains or to save his own life. He had only put on brakes when his engrine. running at a speed of CO miles an hour, crashed into the slow ly moving freight train. He was thrown from the cab of his engine into a splintered box car near, where he was, later, extricated by Chief Jerome Bowen and Engj. neer Willett. Mr. Bowen was the third man to get to him and was holding him in his arms when he died. He was earned to the home of Section Master Jones. His right leg was found to be broken, but he did not seem to be bruised very badly. He was also hurt in the che.st near the heart. His last words were: “Tell my wife goodbye.” His watch, which was found in the wreckage, Contained a photograph of his little boy. He died in a short while, but was conscious to the end. He had been with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad 20 years aud was one 6f the best engineers on the road. NEW SCHOOL BUILDING, ' At meeting of tha. citizens of School District, No. 1, white, Tois- not township last Monday evening. Dr. E. G. Moore was selected chair man and Prof. B. Ci^meron secre- tWT- . *' The chairman explaine«l that tb« object of the meeting was to devise ways and means to see are a new modem and np to-date school build ing. After some discussion of plans Messrs. R. S. Wells, E. G. Moore, T. B. Winstead, W. H. Pridgen and G. A. Barnes were ap pointed a committee to take the matter ini hand, to secure donations &c., and report at a meeting to be held in the Academy next Monday night. Nov. 10th at 7 o’clock. This is a movement in the right direction. Elm City — a town of more than a thousand people should have a good, comfortable, safe school building—one in which the teacher and pupil can do good work. We hope every one will aid and assist in establishing here one of the best schools in the State. The fu ture of the town depends largely upon the interest manifested in th« school.

The remains were sent to his peo ple in Florence, S. C., on the first Southbound train. One of the passengers, Mr. Chas. R. Flint, of New York, had a setter dog aboard the train, aud the box in which the dog was kept was thrown out and knocked to pieces. The dog was not hurt, but when found by his master, was carefully guard ing the shattered box, as if nothing had happened. A lady, Mrs. W. H. Walsh, with a little sick child, travelling from Philadelphia to Charleston, S. C. was delayed here as a result of the wreck, stopping at Hotel Winstead. The child was taken sick before the journey home was begun. After the wreck occurred the child had spasms and for a while was in a very dan gerous condition. Dr. J. E. Brothers attended the little one and in a few hours the child recovered somewhat. They left Monday on the southbound train. No. 23. She found quite a number of sympathizers among our people. Crowds not only of Elm City but from Wilson and Rocky Mount were present at the scene of the wreck which is just South of here, near the plant of the Dennis Simmons Lum ber Co., all day, watching the wrecking crew at work, righting the big locomotive and clearing.the track of the splintere.d box cars.
