McCreary's son in This City. While chatting merrily with some friends at their boarding house in this city, on Saturday night, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur McCrary received very distressing news. Mr. McCrary travels the eastern part of the State for a Northern mer cantile firm and makes his home in this city. He came in off the road Saturday afternoon and was at his boarding house when the telephone bell rang. He promptly answered the bell and was informed from the Southern Railway's freight office that his mother had been run over by a train and killed, and his sister was thought to be fatally injured. The accident occurred at Linwood, about fifteen miles north of Salisbury. Mrs. McCrary and daughter, of Winston-Salem, were out driving in the afternoon. They attempted to cross the railroad track and were struck by a fast mail on the South ern, which was an hour late and running at the rate of sixty five miles an hour. Mrs. McCrary was killed instantly, her body being mangled beyond recognition. Miss McCrary's in juries are considered serious but are not fatal. She was carried to the Salisbury hospital by a special train and was unconscious wThen the train arrived there. The scene where the awful accident occurred is in a deep cut, and the engineer of the fast mail did not see the approaching vehicle until it was right on the tracks. He immedi ately reversed the engine, but too late to avoid the crash which fol lowed. Miss McCrary is a most lovable young woman and is quite popular in this city, where she has visited. It is learned that she was to have been married next month. Mr. and Mrs. McCrary left Satur day night to arrange for the funeral of the mother and to be in attend ance at the bedside of the suffering daughter. The tenderest sympathy and solicitute of friends in this city go out to the bereaved ones in the sad visitation of a double sorrow so infinitely deep, a surcease of which only God can give. Tragedy Averted. "Just in the nitk of time our little boy was saved," writes Mrs. W. Watkins of Pleasant City, Ohio. "Pneumonia had played sad havoc with him and a terrible cough set in besides. Doctors treated him, but he grew worse every day. At length we tried Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, and our darling was saved. He's now sound and well." Everybody ought to know, it's the only sure cure for Coughs, Colds and all Lung diseases. Guar anteed bv J. IT. Hill & Son. drug gists. Price 50c.N and $1.00. Trial bottles free.

Fifty minutes later the shore batterries opened fire on the Japanese vessels. A gale sprang up and the attacking fleet soon withdrew. Tomsk, Western Siberia, March 11.

TROOPS ORDERED TO WEBS TER COUNTY, GA., To Protect Two White Men From the Fury of a Mob W7ho Want ed to Lynch Them Sol diers Get Prisoners. Macon, Ga., March 14. An Amer icas special to the Telegraph says Judge Littlejohn has ordertd the Americus Light Infantry to proceed immediately to Preston, county seat of Webster county, to protect two White men, Henry Morgan and Sid ney Harrell, from lynching at the hands of infuriated citizens. Morgan was arrested this morning charged with burning the town ol Preston yesterday. It is said he has confessed and has implicated Harrell, his cousin, who, he says, employed him to set fire to the stores, the loss amounting to $30,000. At 9 p. m. infantry was on the way. The military company made the run from Americus to Preston, twenty-five miles, in twenty min utes, found the town calm, secured the prisoners and brought them to Americus for safe-keeping. COLOSSAL FIGURES IN LIFE INSURANCE. WHAT DO THEY MEAN? The Metropolitan Life puts forth a statement of its business in lb03,1 presenting an array of figures that shows impressively the intimate re lations between the institution and the whole people. In one item alone an amazing fact is stated. It is that giving the number of policies in force on the last day of the year ! more than 7,500,000 showing that one person in every ten of the entire population of the United States is in sured in this Company. In other items the figures are too large to convey any clear meaning until they are divided and subdiv- ! ided and made to apply to days and hours instead of years. For example, this great Company has paid to and invested for its policy holders since organization, over $238,000,000 a sum that will impress the average reader merely as being vast and very vague. There is quick comprehen sion, however, when we learn by a little calculation that during 1903 the amount thus distributed among policy holders averaged $89 a min ute during every working day of the year. Every day in the year 359 claims were paid; every day in the year more than 6,000 new policies were written. At the end of every day in the year the Company's assets were more than $50,000 greater than in the morning. Its total asssets at the end of the year were more than $105,000,000. Its total income for the one year, 1903, was over $40, 000,000. Going back twenty years we have some comparative figures that tell a story tf almost incredible growth. The Company's income for the year 1883 was a little over $3,000,000; for 1893, a little over $15,000,000; for 1903, over $49,000,000; its surplus since 1883 has increased from about $627,000 to over $10,000,000. When we come to the amount of outstand ing insurance at the end of the year we pass tne Diiiion mars. The ex act sum is $1,342,381,457.00. A concern like the Metropolitan Life insurance Company is, of course, a business organization, but it is one in which all of its policy holders are bona fide partners, "a company of the people, by the pe -pie and for the people," one that has known how to gain and how to justify the confidence of the whole community. That is why no bank stockholder will read the annual report of his own prosperous bank with keener relish than people everywhere read this remarkable statement of the Metropolitan Life.

The Latest Telegraphic News ol the Day Boiled Down to a Focus For Busy Readers. Jackson, Miss., March 9. The State Senate this afternoon passed a bill making June 3rd the birthday of Jefferson Davis, a legal holiday in Mississippi. We don't blame the people of In diana for wanting to send Governor Durbin to the senate. They would be justified in resorting to even harsher methods than this to get the governor out of the state. Now that the winter is over, con gress may get up nerve enough to go for the coal trust. Anti-coal trust legislation can harm no one during the summer and will be good cam paign argument. Washington, March 9. Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, is very ill with a serious throat trouble. His friends are much concerned, as it is impossible for him to swallow and a little, liquid nourishment is all that he can take. Pittsboro, N. C, March 9. Wil liam Smith, who was shot at Gold stone last week by Ed. Dowd, died this morning from the effect of the wound. An inquest will be held. Dowd is at large but efforts are be ing made to capture him. London, March 9. A special dis patch from Paris announces that the French steamer Cambodge (of 2,355 tons, which left Rangoot February 17 for Cochin-Cliina and European ports) has been wrecked in a storm off the coast of Coch in-China. The Cambodge carried 100 passengers, mostly Annamese, and 50 of them were drowned. Raleigh, N. C, March 13. The Agricultural Department is deter mined to put a stop to the sale in this State of adulterated food for cattle, horses, hogs, etc. There are two laws which give authority as to this. One of these permits confisca tion of stuff which is adulterated, and the other gives authority to prevent its sale in the State. It is said that stuff made by some mills in Virginia and Tennessee is shame fully adulterated. Macon, Ga., March 9. A Colum bus, Ga., dispatch to the Telegraph says a marble monument has been erected by the city to the memory of Bragg Smith, the negro laborer who lost his life last September in a heroic but fruitless effort to rescue City Engineer Robert L. Johnson from a street excavation. On one side is an inscription setting forth the fact, while on the other side is chiseled, "Honor and shame from no condi tion rise; "Act well thy part, there all the honor lies." Salisbury, March 13. The young desperado who shot two officers at 11 o'clock last night when detected in an attempt to burglarize D. A. Atwell's hardware store has not yet been apprehended, but his identity is believed to have been fixed with certainty in the person of Ernest Murphy. Young Murphy had been released from the city lock-up, where he had been incarcerated for an as sault and robbery, only yesterday afternoon. He is one of the most dangerous members of a gang of young criminals who have been fre quently before the courts for rob bery, store-breaking and similar of fenses. Hitherto they have escaped lightly, but public feeling is now aroused to the point of demanding employment of the sternest meas ures the law allows. 1904. IN THE T01LS0F THE II. McBEE CARRIED TO RALEIGH A PRISONER. To Be On Trial Before Chief Justice Clark On Warrant Sworn Out By Attorney General Gilmer In Behalf of the People of the State. - The State of North Carolina has through its Attorney General made an unexpected move in the A. & N. C. R. R. case, yesterday. Thus far the State has been stand ing on the defensive in its efforts to protect the property of the State and the private stockholders. Yesterday it assumed the offensive and pro ceeded to take active steps against the men who are in the combine to grab the A. and N. C. Railroad. Attorney General R. D. Gilmer, after conferring w ith Governor Ay cock and Mr. W. C. Munroe, of Goldsboro, attorney of the A. and N. C. R. R., and having fully investi gated the matter, swore out an affi davit before Chief Justice Walter Clark, alleging in It that K. S. Finch and V. E. McBee, "did fraudu lently, maliciously, feloniously and unlawfully conspire, combine, unite, confederate and agree among them selves by wrongful, unlawful and indirect means to injure, dam age and impoverish the property of the Atlantic and JVorth Carolina Railroad Company," further saying that the conduct of McBee and Finch is such as to damage the State, to the evil example of all others in like manner offending. This affidavit having been made before Chief Justice Clark by Attor ney General Gilmer the Chief Justice issued a bench warrant for the ar rest of McBee and Finch, returnable before him this morning at 11 a'clock. The warrant was to the sheriff of Craven county, James W. Biddle, and was taken to Newbern yesterday by W. C. Munroe, Esq. The warrant of arrest was served on Receiver McBee in Newbern yes terday, and he reached the city last night. He did not look as jubilant as when he left the city to take charge of the A. and N. C. R. R., as its receiver. He was brought to Raleigh by Sheriff Biddle, returning as a prisoner under the beneh war rant issued for him. On arriving at their hotel Sheriff Biddle and his prisoner immed iately left for their rooms. Mr. Clark started, but returned in a mo ment. "Is Judge Robinson here?" he asked the clerk. Being told that he was he asked to be shown to W. S. O'B's room and then departed. But hardly to sleep for awhile. Being asked about coming to Ra leigh, he said he was coming on other business, and just happened to come on the same train with the sheriff and McBee. Yet it can be figured out that he and W. S. O'B. confabulated deep and long before the beds tempted them. K. S. Finch is not in the State, or is not known to be in the State. It is understood to be the purpose of Governor Aycock to issue a requisi tion for him, and to have him stand trial on the same charge of conspir acy as Captain McBee. It is the purpose of Governor Ay- cock and the Attorney General in these proceedings to probe to the bottom the matter of the action of McBee and Finch in regard to the A. and N. C. Railroad. The trial before Chief Justice Clark is expect ed to bring out many facts kept hid den from the public. It is understood that there have been subpoenaed for the trial this many: Mr. Ed. Chambers Smith, whose stock in the A. and N. C. Railroad is said to be the ones on which Finch operated to grab the NO 80 railroad; Capt. W. II. Day and Col. J. W. Hinsdale, counsel for Finch and McBee, the stenographers and clerks of Hinsdale and Day, the managers of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph Companies, and the young ladies m charge of the Bell Long Distance Telephone. Be sides these, Governor Aycock and Attorney General Gilmer will both probably go on the stand. GUARANTEE GIVES CONFI DENCE. Druggists J. II. Hill & Son Are Confident That Mi-o-na Will Make People Well and Fat. To give confidence that the use of Mi-o-na will increase weight, cure dyspepsia and restore the sick to health, J. II.

There is no dangerous stomach drugging when using Hyomei. The healing and aromatic balsams which compose this wonderful treatment are breathed through a neat pocket inhaler that comes with every $1 outfit. In this way, the germ-killing and health-giving Hyomei penetrates to the most remote cells of the lungs. It searches out and kills disease germs in the air passages of the head, throat and nose, soothes and heals the irritated mucous membrane, and absolutely drives catarrh from the system. Such remarkable results have fol lowed the use of Hyomei by the best people in Goldsboro, that J. H. Hill & Son have the greatest confidence in its power to cure catarrh. They believe' in it so thoroughly, that they will give their personal guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure, the purchaser to be sole judge. This is an unusual offer and the first time that any medicine or treat ment for the cure of catarrh has been sold in this way. If it cures, the expense is trifling, while if it fails, the cost is absolutely nothing. If you are lortunate enough not to be troubled with catarrh, tell your friends of J. H. Hill & Son's offer get them to take advantage of it. English Spavin Liniment removes all Hard, Poft or Calloused Lumps and BUmishes from horses, Blood Spavins. Curbs.
