A Durham special says: Albert, the
ten year old son of Mr. and Mrs. W.
H. Albon, living about a mile from
'West Durham, was painfully wounded
this morning. He was playing with a
thirty-two calibre pistol "when the "wea
pon fired and the ball entered his chin,
lodging in the root of his tongue. Two
teeth were knocked out by the bullet.
Dr. R. L. Holloway attended the
wounded toy and late this afternoon
it was stated that there were good
chances -for his recovery. The (boy did
not know the weapon was loaded.
The statement was puunshed in sev
eral papers a few days ago that ex-Sen-lator
Rutler had gone to Washington to.

pecially against Skinner, but the ex
Senator returned to the city yesterday
and said that there -was nothing what
ever in the matter and did not talk pol

Bernard or Skinner, and that he was
looking after matters of more interest
to him than politics has for him now.
Raleigh Post.
Rev. Baylus Cade who has an option
on half the 110.000 acres of what are
known as ewarap lands in Carteret
county, held by. the state board of ed
ucation, was here today in consultation
with the state officers and Engineer Mc
Rae, of the looard of education, who
has maps of the lands. Mr. Cade says
that 80,000 acres of the 110,000 are what
are known as "open lands," under wa
ter part of the year, and covered with
a growth like the "chapparel" in Mex
ico. He says these open lands are not
worth over a dollar a square mile. A

An interesting fact wnich has just
come to light in Richmond In connection
with the mysterious disappearance and
finding after a month's search of the
body of Nellie Cropsey in eastern North
Carolina, is the established fact beyond
controversy that Miss Cropsey was an
excellent swimmer. During her two
summers on the North Carolina coast
the young girl had become as much at
home in the water as on land. Strong,
athletic and well built, she was well
able to give a good account of herself
in the water. The Dispatch has this
miormation on unquestioned authority.
The establishment of this fact oper
ates strongly against any accident or
suicide theory. Thrown or falling into
the water alive, a good swimmer find
it an exceedingly difficult matter to
sink. As in the case of holding one's
breath, whatever may 'be the purpose
or intent in the matter, there comes a
point where nature asserts itself and
there comes an earnest effort towards
self-preservation. Richmond Dispatch.
A pitiful case, -witu strong lesson,
came up in court today when a ragged
mulatto young man apparently about
nineteen or twenty years old, was con
victed on two charges of larceny, both
for taking food, and sent to the roads
for six months in each case. Judge Al
len looked at him closely and read neg
lect and ignorance in his depraved face.
The judge-i a most merciful officer
land, humane man and he asked:
"Jerry, can you read or write?"
-"No sir," was the rer.lv.
,.J"How old are you?" inquired the
judge.
"I don't know," came the response.
: -And were you raised here in Ral

Graves In Pennsylvania.
Pittsburg, Jan. 13. The details of a
sad double drowning reached here
last night from Osceola, 8 miles above
McKeesport. Martin O'Hara, aged 18,
and his sister Mary, aged 15, were
drowned while skating on the Youghi
ogheny. Their brother James, aged
8, also went under the ice, but was
rescued by men who were at work
near by.
The home of the O'Haras is within
sight of the river, and the mother of
the children saw them sink under the
Ice. She ran screaming to the river
bank, and plunged in after them. The
rescuers had hard work saving the
lives of the mother and James. Martin
and Mary were carried away by the
swift current and their bodies have
not yet been recovered.

six Japanese mechanics who have been
working at the United Iron works, fill
ing the places of some of the Ameri
can iron workers who are on strike for
a shorter working day, have been call
ed out and have quit work. The Jap
anese were ordered out by officers of
the Japanese Association of Ameri
ca, an organization with-which all the

iron trades council.
President Pidcock Critically III.
New York, an. 13. John F. Pid
cock, president of the Georgia North
ern railroad, who underwent a surgi
cal operation at White House, N. J.,
about three months ago, was very
weak today and his physicians said
his death was expected at any moment.
Complications, one of which was drop
sy, followed the surgical operation and
hope of recovery was abandoned sev
eral weeks ago. Mr. Pidcock was mar
ried on the day the operation w-as performed.
NAVAL EXPERIMENTAL PLANT.
Long Cherished Plan of Bngineere May
;::-,V."'.Be Realized.
Washington, 'an. 13. At the in
stance of the navy department Senator
Hale has introduced in the senate a
bill intended to carry out a long cher
ished plan of the naval engineers, and
especially of SJngineer-in-Chief Mel
ville, to provide the navy an experi
mental plant of the first class soni
what;pn the lines of the magnificent
German naval experimental plant at
j Charlottenburg, which has been of
I such benefit to the navy.
The bill provides an appropriation
of $400,000. for the construction of a
building at the Naval academy at An
napolis and its equipment tp deal with
engineering problems of value and in
terest to the navy which cannot be
properly left to private enterprises to
solve. Much pressure has been brought
to bear upon the navy department by
the great manufacturing interests
throughout the country and also by the
scientific colleges and ship builders to
have the navy undertake this impor
tant work. Admiral Melville pointed
out important military reasons that
make It desirable the government
should . not be obliged to rely on out
side experimenters for this work. Be
sides being a benefit to the navy prop
er, the proposed plant, it is said, will
be of immense service in solving prob
lems of the greatest importance to
manufacturing interests and in stimu
lating inventive genius of the navy.
FREE DELIVERY IN COUNTRY.
Colonel Livingston Will Have Inspec
tor Sent to Fifth District
Washington, Jan. 13. Colonel Liv
ingston has arranged with Superlnten-,
dent of Free Delivery System Machen
to have an inspector, sent to the coun
ties of the Fifth district within the
next ten days for five Installation of
the free rural delivery routes which
have recently been established. There
are about 35 of these routes in Ful
ton, DeKalb, Douglas, Campbell, Wal
ton and Rockdale counties, but the
installation has necessarily been de
layed because the .inspectors have
been busy in other directions. The
proposed routes are designed to prac
tically cover the rural sections of all
these counties. In order to facilitate
the work of installation the colonel
ias agreed to send with the inspector
his secretary, Robert Livingston, who
is familiar with the territory.
Representative Brantley has intro
duced a bill providing for an appro
priation of $30,000 additional to com
plete the public building at Brunswick.
The amount appropriated for the build
ing was $100,000, but it was found
that in order to keep within that
amount the finishing had to be made
of wood and in other respects the
building could not be completed ac
cording to the original plan. The ap
propriatibn carried by Mr. Brantley's
hew bill is designed to correct these
deficiencies.
FIGHTING THE SUGGESTION.
Brunswick Saloon Men Against Raise
In License.
Brunswick, Ga., Jan. 13. There is
likely to be a lively fight on in council
In opposition to Mayor Emanuel's rec
ommendation that the liquor license be
placed at $500. It will be remembered
that Mayor Emanuel gave as his rea
sons for this recommendation that a
license at that figure would have the
effect of driving out all the disreputa
ble dive keepers and leave the liquor
business in the hands of decent men.
The liquor men claim a license of
$500 will not do. They claim that the
dive keepers will raise $500 to pay the
license and that the number of saloons
will not be materially decreased,
while a hardship will be worked upon
the liquor men by the change from
$200 to $500. Council is believed to
be about evenly divided on the license
proposition and their action is await
ed with a great deal of interest by
people interested in the liquor ques
tion from both sides of the fence.
Health Rules Modified.
Charleston, S. C, Jan. 13. The
health department of Charleston has
amended the port rules concerning
the quarantining of vessels from
South and Central American ports so
as to permit entries without detention
of vessels from clean ports. Hereto
fore, in order to avoid detention, ves
els in trade between here and trop
ical ports were required to carry a
physician who could give a certificate
for eacn voyage. The modification is
made for the benefit of the fruit trade,
which is growing here.
South Carolina Postmasters.
Washington, Jan. 13. The president
has sent to the senate for confirmation
or rejection the following nominations
tor postmasters in South Carolina:
Greenwood. David Aiken; Laurens,
George S. McGravy; Union, J. O. Hun
ter; Winnsboro, Preston Rion; New

ties Stallmaker and Hoss captured
