He was taken to the Thompson hospital, but his iondition is not thought to be serious. However, he will have to remain at the hospital for several days. Mr. O. C. Connelly of Lumberton, who was a passenger on the R. & C, was severely bruhjed and shaken up. Acey Piatt, colored, complained of a hurt leg, but the doctors found that he was not injured.

All these were passengers on the Raleigh & Char leston train. Had the freight car struik the passenger coach instead of the baggage and express . car, no doubt several of the passengers would have been killed. The baggage car and the Raleigh & Charleston engine were damaged as a result of the accident. ASTONISHING SALE 07 LAND m EAST LUMBERTON 65 Acres Sold at Auction for $32,000 Sale Lasted From 10:30 A.
