Mr. Claudius Boavers, of Kel
vin's Grove, this county, who has
qualified as administrator on the
estate of his son, Elton Clarence
Beavers, who was killed at Wake
Forest last Saturday afternoon,
has engaged Mr. Chas. U. liar
ris to bring suit against the Sea
board Air line Railroad Company
for damages. It is understood
that the amount asked for will
be not less than $20,000, and
probably larger.
The deceased was flagman on
a freight train and had been in
the service of the company about
two years. In leaving the ca
boose at Wake Forest to close the
switch while the train was mov
ing, he fell and either the run
ning gear of the car struck his
head or it struck a cross tie,
fracturing the skull and causing
instant death. Mr. Beavers was
twenty-five years of age and left
a wife and a young child, News
and Observer.
The usual happened. When
France Jones, the Charlotte bank
Hank cashier, ran away it was
said that he had stolen $50,000.
It turns out now to be nearer
$80,000. -News and Observer.

Training School, was 845. The
Faculty will be increased for Ihe
coming year, and additional dor
mitory accommodations will be
provided in time for the opening
of the fall term, September 18,
1907. - .
Tuition is free to students who
take the pledge to become teach
ers in North Carolina for at least
two years after leaving the Col
lege, t Board is . furnished at act
ual cost, but, owing to limited
accommodations, not ; all free-
tuition students can secure board
in the 'college dormitories.
Therefore all free-tuition appli
cations should be in hands of the
President before July ' 15th, so
that (in case the large number
of applicants from any county
should make it necessary) a com
petitive examination may be ar
ranged for. One-half of the
available dormitory space is re
served for tuition-paying stu
dents. Applications from those
who do not take the pledge to
teach but intend to pay tuition,
are filed and dormitory reserva
tions made as the applications are
received.
