Charlotte, N. C., Aug. 17. In his
charge to the grand jury this morn
ing, Judge Walter II. Neal declared
war on the bucket thops. He charged
the jury that it was a crime under
our law to buy or sell for future de
livery on margins, corn, cotton,
wheat or other food or agricultural
products; that the law made it ille
gal to operate so-called bucket shops,
and those who were in charge of
such shops, as well as those who buy
or sell therein, -were guilty under the
law.
There is a bright prospect for a
North Carolinian to succeed the late
P. M. Arthur as grand chief engi
neer of the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers, and that North Caro
linian is none other than Hon. B. R.
Lacy, our able and popular State
Treasurer, whose advancement to
the chieftainship of this great and
powerful brotherhood is richly mer
ited by rich endowment of head and
heart and untiring and uncompro
mising devotion to the interests of
locomotive engineers. Indeed he is
one of the best engineers in the
country himself. Raleigh Post.
New York, Aug. 15. The Cunard

day from Liverpool and Queen3town.
The Marconi wireless telegraph was
put in operation by a passenger short
ly after leaving Queenstown. This
passenger found himself with insuf
ficient funds to pay expenses, and,
as his mother was a passenger on the
Lucania, bound East, he sent a mes
sage to her asking her to pay the
purser on the Lucania 10 and the
Campania's purser be notified of the
payment. Communication was es
tablished when the ships were fifty
miles distant, August 12, when a re
ply was received saying the Luca

Charlotte, August 17. Last night
a dastardly attempt was made to
wreck No. 38, one of the Southern's
vestibuled trains, just outside the
city limits of Charlotte. ' A switch
near the new mill being erected by
the Highland Park Manufacturing
Company, was the scene chosen for
the awful work of destruction. The
lock was broken and the swith open
ed, after which the .light was ex
tinguished. One of the northbound
through freight trains, was running
ahead of No. 38 and ran into the
open switch. As soon as the engineer
found that he had left the main line
he reversed the engine and applied
the brakes. Owing to the fact that
the train was not running at a high
rate of speed it was possible to stop
it before any damage was done.

PROMINENT MEN OF THE
STATE FORM A STOCK
COMPANY
And Purchase Land in Goldsboro,
Which They Propose to Cut Up"
Into Building Lots for
Residences.
Senator Simmons and Congress
man E. W. Pou have been in the
city since yesterday in the interest
of a" real estate deal, in which they
are two of the stockholders. The
deal was completed this morning and
the title to the property passed into
the hands of the Park Heights Land
Company, by which name the new
syndicate will be known.
The. deal was consummated
through the Humphrey-Gibson Co.,
the well-known real estate brokers
of this city.
The deal has been under consider
ation for some time, and yesterday
afternoon, in the law offices of Mr.
W. T. Dortch, in this city, the new
company was organized, with the
following stockholders: Senator F. M.
Simmons, of Raleigh, Congressman
E. W. Pou, of Smithfield, Messrs.
W. T. Dortch, of this city, W. H.
Saunders, of Smithfield, and C. H.
Martin, of Louisburg.
The officers of the company are
President, E. W. Pou; Vice-President
and General Manager, W. T.
Dortch; Secretary, C. H. Martin.
The company have purchased fif
teen and one-half acres of land from
Mr. W. A. J. Peacock, which they
propose to cut up into lots and sell
on easy payments to those who wish
to buy.
The land is situated in a very de
sirable location for building pur
poses and will soon be disposed of.
As the name of the company indi
cates, the location qt the property is
out on Park heights, between Ashe
street extension and Park avenue
and fronting the Odd Fellows' Or
phan Home.
Park avenue is already built up
with some of the handsomest resi
dences that Goldsboro boasts of. The
property of the new company ad
joins that on which these residences
are built and is am ideal location for
a suburban residence.
The capital stock of the Park
Heights Land Company is put down
at $30,000 and incorpation papers
have been asked for.
All the gentlemen whose, names
appear on the list of stockholders
have a State reputation and two are
known throughout the nation. The
investment they have made has been
done from a purely business stand
point and is as sure to yield hand
some returns as it is to prove of ben
efit to the "Gem City of the Plains."
The fact that these gentlemen
have come to Goldsboro to invest
some of their surplus capital is un
disputed evidence of their confid
dence in the future of our progress
ive city.
We go forward !

ENGINEER AND FIREMAN
BURIED UNDER THE
DEBRIS.
As the Train Flew by Melrose the
Operator Saw the Fireman
Throw Up His Hand and
Smile The Opererator
Fell Back Fainting.
Asheville, August 13. A tele
gram from Try on City, received here
this evening, says:
Through freight train No. 62,
third section, from Asheville to
Spartanburg ran away on Saluda
mountain at 2:15 p. m. to-day. The
engine and thirteen coal cars were
wrecked near Melrose.
The engine and eleven of the cars
are a total wreck, piled up and de
molished in the cut. Engineer J.
H. Averill, Jr., and Fireman Hair,
of Asheville, were killed and are un
der the wreckage and cannot be
found until the wreck is cleared."
Brakeman W. B. Sherrill, of Swan
annoa, had both legs cut off.
Engineer Averill was' a blight
young man, twenty-three years of
age, a son of Colonel J. H. Averill,
of Charleston. His - father, mother,
wife and two little children are
spending the summer at Saluda,
within three miles of where he met
his untimely death. He stayed on
his engine with his fireman, doing
all he could to check the speed of the
train until the engine buried them
in its ruins.
Conductor Howie and his flagmen,
Bishop and Ward, were unhurt.
As the runaway train passed Mel
rose, the operator, J . vv . jtieatner-
ally, ran out and Fireman Hair
threw up his hand and smiled. The
operator fainted.
REMEDY FOR HAY FEVER.
After Trying Other Treatments Hy-
omei Was Used With Per
feet Success.
Prior to the discovery of Hyomei,
the only advice a physieian could
give to a hay fever patient was to
go away from home but now any
one who expects the disease, can, if
Hyomei is used, stay at home with
out fear of the annual attack of sneez
ing, watery eyes, and other discom
fort.
J. F. Forbes, a well known west
ern railroad man, whose home is at
McCook, Neb., writes, "I have
never had relief from any remedy
for hay fever, even temporarily, un
til I discovered the merits of Hy
omei. I will always recommend it
whenever occasion requires."
There is no offensive stomach dos
ing when Hyomei is used. It is a
reliable remedy for the cure of all
diseases of the respiratory organs
and is breathed through a neat poo
ket inhaler that comes with every
outfit so that the air taken into the
fhrnat and lunsrs is like that of the
White Mountains or other health re
sorts where hay fever is unknown.
J. H. Hill & Son,who have the
local agency for Hyomei, advise all
who are subject to hay fever to De-
ffin its use two or three weeks before
the time of the annual appearance of
this disease and thu3 prevent the at
tack. If, however, Hyomei is not
used until the sneezing and other
disagreeable symtoms have shown
themselves, it is necessary to use the
treatment more frequently at least ,
half a dozen times daily, and Hy- j
omei Balm should be rubbed into ,
the nostrils both morning and night.
The fact that J. Ill Hill & Son j
agree to refund the money to any ,
hay fever sufferer who uses Hyomei
without suceess, should inspire con
fidence in its power to effect a cure,
FARMERS MEET IN THIS CITY
FARMERS' PROTECTIVE AS
SOCIATION OF WAYNE
COUNTY
Pass Resolutions Bearing Upon the
Present Low Price of Tobacco
and Send a Delegation to the
State Association Meet
ing at Rocky Mount
August 21st.
At a meeting of the Farmers' Pro
tective Association of Wayne County,
held at the court house in Goldsboro,
August 15th, the following business
was transacted:
The president, Mr. J. W. Thomp
son, was in the chair, and in the ab
sence of the secretary Mr. W. G.
Hollowell was requested to act.
A motion by Mr. J. E. Peterson
that a committee of five be appoint
ed by the chairman to formulate and
submit resolutions expressive of the
sentiment of the meeting relative to
the low price of tobacco, the causes
and remedies, prevailed, and there
upon the chair appointed on this
committee Messrs. J. E. Peterson,
J. H. Johnson, G. W. Best, A. T.
Uzzell, and W. G. Hollowell.
The committee, after retiring, re
turned and submitted the following,
which was unanimously adopted :
"Resolved, That the tobacco
growers of the county stand face to
face with a financial death in . the
low price of tobacco from some cause,
either in overproduction of the weed
or in a combination of tobacco buy
ers looking to the taking of the crop
at ruinous and starvation prices;that
the remedy it seems to us is the
me, and thatS to stop the sale and
production until the prices will just
ify the selling and raising,
"Therefore, be it resolved, That
the farmer should offer no more to
bacco for sale at the present prices,
and that if the prices do not go up to
a living price the farmers should
stop the raising of tobacco until the
demand shall so advance the price
as to justify the farmer in raising
the weed for market.
"2nd, ? That as these starvation
prices are sure to force us to abandon
the cultivation of tobacco we urge
the appointment of a committee of
25 from this county to attend a con
vention of farmers to meet at Rocky
Mount on the 21st instant; and at
that meeting we declare that we will
stand solidly for the position decided
upon at this meeting.
"3rd, That we join hands with the
merchants of the State who have
kindly come to our assistance, and
declare to them that in condemning
the action of the tobacco trust (if it
is their combination that is doing vus
the hurt) we most heartily concur."
The chairman appointed on the
committee asked for in the resolu
tions above the following gentlemen:
Messrs. G. W. Best, A. T. Uzzell,
Jno. Holmes, J. E. Peterson, W. G.
Herring, H. P. Hart, M. L. Adams,

ton, and T. C. Blaylock.
On motion, the president was
added to the committee and an in
vitation extended to as many farm
ers as can do so to attend that meet-
ing.
No further business appearing, the
meeting adjourned to meet again at
the court house on Saturday, the
22nd, to hear the report of the com
mit.tfi and to transact such other
business as shall appear necessaay.

A TERRIBLE STORY OF MUR
DER AND PILLAGE,
Told in a Memorandum Which is
Presented to the Powers by Bul
garia, Setting Forth the Con
dition of Affairs in Mace
donia During the
Past Three
Sofia, August 16. The Bulgarian
government has presented a memor
andum to the powers which sets
forth the condition of affairs in
Macedonia since the Turkish Gov
ernment undertook to inaugurate
the promised reforms.
Wholesale massacres, individual
murders, the destruction of villages,
the pillaging and setting fire to
houses are among the acts charged
against the Ottoman administration.
In the villayet of Monastir artil
lery razed the flourishing town of
Smerdech, three hundred houses be
ing left in a heap of ruins. The di
rector of a normal school was im
prisoned for having in his library
the "revolutionary" works of "Oth
ello" and "Les Miserables."
Altogether the memoranda gives
particulars of no less than one hun
dred and thirty-one individual and
general cases of excesses and out
rages committed by the Turkish au
thorities. The Bulgarian government guar
antees the accuracy of every state
ment and challenges the Porte to
disprove a single charge.
