LADY Si BLOW STRUCK
STATE, INT RODUCJIS VERY
MA' , L EVIDENCE OF
t J, FULLER, OF
; JRIIAM.
3Iiss Ma j Pace Told Jones Ful
ler Sht Saw a Quarrel, and Saw
Skinner Strike Haywood
On The Chin. The
Prosecution Rests
Its Case.
Ealeigh News-Observer (Sunday.)
The most interesting, as well as a
Very material fact, in the Haywood
case, was developed yesterday morn
ing while the last witness for the
State, Mr. Jones Fuller, of Durham,
was on the stand. It is that Miss
Mattye Pace, of this city, witnessed
all that took place between Ernest
Haywood and Ludlow Skinner on
that fatal afternoon of the 21st of
k February, in front ot the postoffice,
says she saw an angry conversation,
a blow struck by Skinner, and Hay
wood fire twice.
Miss Pace was at the window on
the third floor of the Yarborough
House, over the main entrance, con
versing with Mr. Fuller, who was
a step or two back from the window.
She told Mr. Fuller she saw Ernest
y Haywood and Ludlow Skiner stand
ing close to the bottom of the south
ern steps of the postoffice, engaged in
what seemed to be a very heated
conversation. Mr. Haywood was ap
parently impressing something up-
on Mr. Skinner, for he was tapping
-"-" him on the breast with his forefinger
, jj as though emphasing his remarks.
I In a minute Skinner struck Hay
1 -wood on the chin, as she thought,
and she exclaimed: "There's a
fight" or "There's going to be a
" I ifight," or "There are two men quar
' ' I reling," or something to that effect,
I and in a second, "He's going to
' shoot him." This brought Mr. Ful
- lea to the window, and as he looked
. A'i V he saw Mr. Haywood fire the first
3 hot at Mr. Skinner, who was leav-
ing Mr. Haywood, with his back to
ward him, as it seemed to Mr. Ful
ler. Then Mr. Skinner half turned
and went diagonally northeast and
Mr. Haywood fired again. Mr. Skin-
ner then threw both hands to his
Jeft side, circled and iell over the
car track. That is in substance what
Miss Pace and Mr. Fuller saw, as
stated vesterday on the stand by Mr.
X Uimr. Lilt! pail auuuu iij-ioo j- c.vv
while under cross-examination.
Mi:?s Pace has not been summoned
by the prosecution, for the reason
that Mr. Fuller, when he gave his
statement to the attorneys for the
State, about a month and a lalf ago,
did so only upon the condition that
Miss Pace should not be called as a
witness. The defense is unable to
subpoena her now, as she is out ot
the State.
It was twelve o'clock yesterday
when the State announced that it
rested its case. In reply to a ques
tion by Mr. Pou. Mr. Daniel stated
that the prosecution would ask for a
verdict according to the charge in
the indictment, which is murder
with malice aforethought.
Tt is thought by counsel on both
sides that the trial will be concluded
Yixr next Saturday, allowing three
days for the introduction of evidence
,-by the deience, and one day for evi
dence of the Slate in reDuuai.

Dear Sirs: If you paint two houses
alike with two different paints, and
one takes twice as much paint as the
other, you know which paint to buy
after that so far as go-far goes
don't you?
One of these paints is Devoe; the
other is any . average paint. The
worst are worse than that; the better
are not much better; no other paint
than Devoe is anywhere near Devoe
in go-far. Devoe is go further; the
rest are go-shor,tgo-middling and go-three-quarters.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.
P. S. - Smith & Yelverton sell our
paint.

NEAR THE SOUTHERN PART
OF THIS CITY.
Two Engines Were Smashed Up
and Traffic Was Delayed
Until Noon.
The Southern Railroad had a
wreck on Tuesday, less than a halt
mile from this depot. Engineer Har
ris of 107 jumped and sustained
slight injuries in the back. Fortu
nately none of the passengers of
either train were injured. A young
man named Elmore,from Mt. Olive,
saw the approaching train and jump
ed. He lost his gold watch.
The wreck occurred between the
passenger train due to leave here at
7:20 and the passenger train from
Greensboro due here at 7:30. Both
the engines were damaged consider
ably and were thrown from the
track. Traffic was delayed until
noon to-day. The engines were not
damaged to a very great extent. The
pilots were broken off and the front
part of the boilers were broken in.
The wreck occurred at an early
hour, but in less than a half hour'
hundreds of people were on the
scene. It was first reported in the
city that several passengers were in
jured and this caused numbers of
people to flock to the scene in ve
hicles hoping to render assistance.
The place where the wreck occurred
is at the sharp curve just outside of
the corporate limits. There is a deep
cut at this point and it was impos
sible for the engineers to see each
other until the trains were within a
few yards of each other.
There are several rumors afloat as
to the cause of the wreck and as is
usual with railroad men they refuse
to talk,hence it is impossible to verify
or contradict the rumors. It is
known, however, that the incoming
passenger train had orders to meet
the outgoing train at 'Grant's brick
yard', which is just about one mile
from the city. When this train reach
ed the meeting place the crew dis
covered that a fire last night at Grif
fin's brick yard had burned the
wires down. The outgoing train had
not shown up and it is supposed that
the incoming crew thought that the
outgoing crew had not received or
ders on that account. Engineer Piper
sent his flagman out and proceeded
slowly around the curve. Passengers
who were on the train say that the
flagman was only two telegraph
poles ahead of the engine and there
fore the engineer of 107 could not
have seen the flagman until the two
engines were right on each other.
On account of the wires being
down the crew of the train due to
leave here at 7:20 had not received
orders at the regular leaving time
and pulled down in front of the
Hotel Kennon to load the baggage
and take on passengers. When this
had been accomplished the train
went back again to the freight depot
to get orders. Whether or not they
got orders cannot be found out. In
a few minutes the train came by the
regular starting point without stop
ping and went on down the road to
the place where the wreck occurred.
While the train was gone to the
freight depot orders were received
over the Atlantic Coast Line wires by
way of Contentnea stating that the
incoming train had orders to wait at
Gran't brick yard." These orders
were not delivered because they
i were received while the train was
passing the telegraph office. These
are the grounds for the conclusion
that the incoming crew did not com
ply with their instructions, but took
it for granted that the outgoing crew
could not receive orders on account
of tne wires being down and sent out
a flagman and tried to get into the
city.
There were not many passengers
j on either train. Mr. W. R. Simmons
and his family, f Seven Springs,
ANOTHER
1
E
WRECK
were on the outgoing train. He says
that the first intimation that he had
of the collision was from a fellow
passenger whose name he did not
know. He saw the approaching en
gine of the other train and turned
very pale. He settled himself in his
seat and braced himself against the
back oi the seat in front of him. -At
that time the crash came and the
women and children began to scream.
All were shaken up very badly and
some of the passengers were thrown
against the side of the cars.
The engineer of the incoming train
first saw the other train and applied
his brakes and reversed his engine.
When the crash came the incoming
I engine was standing still and the
driving wheels were revolving back
ward. The other engineer had also
applied his brakes and reversed his
engine, but the speed at which he
was running together with the mo
mentum of the heavy train would
not permit much decrease of speed
in so short a distance.
AT 4 O'CLOCK THERE WAS 107

NATURE'S OWN CURE.
Hyomei Cures Catarrh Without
Dangerous Drugging of the
Stomach.
Not until Hyomei was discovered
has it been i ossible to truthfully say
that a remedy for catarrh was
known.
This remedy is breathed through
the Hyomei inhaler for a few min
utes four times a day, and during
that time every particle of air taken
into the air passages and lungs is
impregnated with the germ killing
and health giving Hyomei. It is the
only treatment that cures catarrh.
Stomach drugging often causes dis
ordered digestion or brings on some
other diseases and never makes a
permanent cure of catarrh. Hyomei
not only kills the germs in the throat
and nose but penetrates to the minu
test air cells in the lungs and enters
the blood with the oxygen, killing
the germs in the blood. It frees the
mucous membrane from poisonous
microbes and gives perfect health.
A complete outfit costs but $1.00,
and includes an inhaler, dropper and
sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment.
J. H. Hill & Son have so much
faith in the merit of Hyomei that
they agree to return the money to
any purchaser who may be dissatis
