ternpoiRon its s 3f o'clock trip tbp
Louisburg tram - was ; wrecked at
thes witch.-where -; f the v: -train
leaves the main track for' Louisburg.
The -wreck was caused y by. a negro
boy, named Henry P. Dentj : closing
the switch while only half 'of the
passenger car had crossed,' causing
the truck i at the front1 end ' to run
over on theT Lotiisburg1 track 1 and the
nock on the rear end to' go on up
the skiing tintil they"" got at " such, a
distance that it caused'" resistance
which1 threw the baggage,. orv accom
modation car; off, toone . "fiide-turn-:
ing it over. i-In rthis car -was several
pieces.of baggage: and several "pas
sengers. Among those whor receiv
ed injuries-were-Div:S C. Ford and
J. C," Conway, baggage master, while
their injuries ,were painful ,it is not
thought the were serious. There
was also two or three vcolored , pas
sengers shaken up a little but not
badly hurt. .., , . r ...
We heard it stated that the boy
was seen to turn ; the switch, too
i.
quick and was called-to by the" Con
ductor and others but to no avail.
The wrecking crew from Italeigh
arrived on the spot about 4:30 o'clock
and in a. tew hours of heroic work
had the tram up and the track clear
ed.;" The evening trip to and from
Louisburg was annulled on account
of the wreck. The Louisburg train
arrived' in Louisburg that night
about 10:30 o'clock, with a crowd of
excursionists who had been held
over in Franklinton for the wreck to
be cleared.
Dent was arrested in Louisburg
Monday night, but we learn was
turned loose.
Value of the Newspaper.
Schenectady, N. Y., June 7tb', '8.
Editor-Appeal: Am contemplat
ing moving South, and would like to
get an idea of the state of affairs in
your, locality, and consider the lead
ing paper of a city as about the best
means of getting such information,
except a personal visit.
J. H. Leahy.
Commenting on the above the
Roanoke (Ya.) Times says: The
Petersburg Index-Appeal uses this
letter as the subject of an editorial,
in which the value of the newspaper
to the community at large is forcibly
presented..
And this letter bears out the con
tention we have made, that the oat
side world draws its estimate of any
city or community by the size and
quality of the newspaper, or newspa
pers, published therein. The lead
ing newspaper bf any city, is a true
index of the public spirit of the com
munity; and the' world knows full
well that a community which Will
riot support its newspapers is not a
desirable one in which to live and
engage in business. Our contempo
rary puts up this sensible argument:
"There has been much talk of a
biggei and "better newspaper in this
city," and - proposals to raise large
sums to be invested in a corporation
for that purpose. Now, that fs aH
very well as a starter But the way
to make a bigger and better newspa
per and maintain if is for every mer
chant and business man in the city
to advertise in'it and subscribe for it,
and,' if judgment based on thirty-six
year's experience is worth anything,
there is no tiettet way to do the trick
except by reckless ''expenditure and
eventual work and ruin." Tle Index
Appeal is ndt the newspaper which
we should like to1 i make it,; but " ' to
perfectly' frank,' v,it 1 is "a much
better newspaper than the people of
T" ' " I '" "' ' M ' i 1 1 '
Petersburg pay for.'

A PLEASING INCIDENT.
orrepondnt NV w-Obwrtf.
To the Editor: At the recnt t
ion of the N. O. Teachers1 Asem '
bly at Morehead City there whs one
pleasing and hopeful incident tlut
has not been noticd in the report
of the meeting so far as I have seen
that I desire to mention briefly.
On Thursday morning the presid
ing officer of the Assembly noticed
in the audience thw chaiiman of the
Stonewall Jackson Manual Training
and Industrial School, James 1.
Cooke, Esq., of Concord. Mr. Cook
was invited to tell the teachers
something of the work of the school
and for thirty minutes he held their
undivided, attention as ho vividlv
placed before iLem the nurnlwr of
pathetic incidents were recited show
ing how in many cases mere boys
far a slight offense had been sent in
the past to spend months with hai-
dened criminals in convict camp, ' i-ue i a little vl pin;
thus shutting them off from all hope I A 0ti an ef,,l tnftej;
m life, and turning them to thv wavi A bu,i lhe birlh u( U("jm
of darker days among those ' for i Life m,ur of wlint?'
whom there could be but little hoiw A tru?o lht2 a crown;
i ne wors aireauy accompusnetf at
the Jackson Training School was de
scribed, the' plana for the fature out-'
Pued, and altogether Chairman Cook
made a profound impression upon
the North Carolina teachers I'ard
won their hearty sympathy or tne
great work be is doing.
At the conclusion of the address
State Superintendent J. Y. Joyner
spoke t briefl?ef pressing hi- great
pleasure at' what had been done thus
fir, and pledging his ,warm support
for the futore. of the echool, and ask
ing the same. from the laige audience
It was a. very fortunate occasion for
tho" Jackson Traininc School and I
felt should' riot to eo "unnoticed !a
the 'publio press. f-The wisdom of
those who have v strugglejd r under
many, ad verse conditions will be rich
