Smashed.
While returning to Franklinton oa
Wednesday morning after haying been
?ff on a trip tor. I. B. Willlama driving

ran over and instantly killed Alfonso
Williams, the three year old son of Net
tie Williams near her home on the
Frapklinton and Lsuisburg road about
four hundred yards from the home of
Mr. K. 0. PiaaslL
A phoae message ef the accident was
received in Loaisbarg slwat -11 o'cleek
and Dr. Simpson, Coreaer, went imme
diately to the scene to investigate the
circumstance* and u hold an inquest if
found to be necessary. Upon his arri
val at the scene he fond that the un
fortunate event was eatirely an un
avoidable accident aad could not have
been helped and eceurred some what ia
this way. Albert Brodie, colored, was
traveling tewards Louisburf. driving a
double team, a mule and a colt with a
"load of wood, the mule being scared of
an automobile and the colt' not. At bis
.arrival at the home of Nettie Williams
het little boy Alfonso and another little
child older than he ran oat in the road
and swung ?poa the projecting- end of
the^oupling polo at the rear end of the
wagon to get a ride. Albert saw the
automobile coating and turned his wag
on to tbe left that it might pass, thus
putting the scary ssale t* the off side
from the machine as he said he always
did and just as the machine started
past the wagon the elder ene of the
children jumped dewa and ran across
the road. She wis immediately follow
ed by tbe yeuager ene? he - arrived ia
the path of tbe aatome'bile so cloee to
the machine that it was imDossible to
?top it, however the driver ia his at
tempt to save the child from injury by
turning the machine, dreve it into a
tree breaking ap the raanlng board and
otherwise damaging the machine so
much so that it had to be hauled into
the machine shops -.ia Lonisburg that
evening. It was stated by all who saw
the accident that the car was going at
only ordinary speed and that care in, ita
handling was beiag shewn. It wis un
iversally csncsded, even by the j^rents
of the deceased, that it was one of
those accidents that oeuld not have been
?voided. The stroke broke the boys
neck and fractured the skull on the left
?ide. I
Mr. J. O. Green, Jr., Manager of the
franklinton 6arage, ts which the au- 1
tomobiie belonged and by whom the
drirer wss employed, extended every
consideration ressiblo to tbe parents of
the deceased.

* Shoald be I Warning.
The accident nfar Frmnklinton Wed- (
reeday morning, wherein a little
year old boy was ran over and kill<
Pbile, shoald be a warning ,
to keep their children eat i
To eay anyone would
? of this klad with any
n ?* ' ' ?
learn it ? a wonder that mtwiceUMll
o! the kirn* bar* not happened ^pouad
here. We frequently bear people com
plain about so ihany children being al
lowed to play in the streets and the
roads, even in so great a number that it
is impoaaible to paaa with a bone and
buggy. Some say the children are so
recklees that they will lie -down in the
road until the automobile or buggy gets'
almost to them. On Main street just
before reaching the corporate limits of
the town it is a regular practice foi*
about fifty children to plaT in the mid
dle of the street in preference to a tre
mendous lot nearby. These are condi
tions that should be corrected. W? do
net mean to uphold reckless driving of
automobiles, but we think until condi
tions of this kind are remedied no legal
proceedings sheuld be allowed before a
court against a driver for accidents or
damages.
We repeat this should be a lesson te
everybody, otherwise it is Just as likely
that it will be your son er daughter next.

Wallace Meal Dead
On March 7th 1013 the mortal remains
of Wallace Ncal were laid to rest in

sence of the pastor Rev. 6. M. Duke.
It was with surprise and Sorrow that,
we heard on March, 6th, that Wallace
had died during the night. His. many
friends bad hoped against hepe for his
recovery, but Gods will was aot our

Having suffered from eolds for seme

on Fab. 8th. Far nearly four weeks
be battled for hi* life, hla mother, at
tentive physicans' nuraee and relatives

power to lighten the suffering.
One of the saddest' InsUeata af his
sieknasswaa the paasing of his 17th
birthday Feb. 19th, while he waa rav
ing with the delirium of hla disease.
Some tan days bafere death came he
aaid to an aunt that everything waa all
right with hiss, and that ha was
ready aad willing to die. If that should'
be Gods will, ^beautiful leaaaoa (or

tions ef a young man.
Hia devotien to his mother which was

Adds More Force- ^
The business of the Louisburg Ma
chine Works is growing so_rapi<Uj .that
it has been necessary to add "Mere
force. The officials have succeeded in
getting Mr. J. \V. Jackson, of Rich
mond, Ya., who comes to Louisburg
highly recoMinended as an expert prac
tical Machinist. The addition of Mr.
Jacksen will give this company possible
the strongest working force this side of
Raleigh and their shop is so completely
equiftp?il_with all necessary machinery
that they ean handle almost any kiad of
machine repair work of any place out
side a factory.
The people of Louisburg and vicinity
should show their appreciation of a
plant like this aid we believe they wit!
by their continued patronage.
