Dunlan. a well known citizen of Cedar Hill, bit Eunice Toralinson, aiied 17, the daughter of Harriet Tom- Hi son, col., of Cedar Hill, on the head with a good sized rock. The girl fell and was unconscious for some min utest, but soon recovered enough to walk home. She was taken to Dr. .S. B. Carpenter, who tound that her skull was fractured. He treated the girl for some time and she appeared to be getting on very well, except that she suffered from slight paraly sis of the face and one side of the body. About three weeks after be ing hit with the rock the girl, while playing with ber brothers, fell from a small wagon loaded with hay and .struck her stomach on a rock. She 'suffered greatly from this fall and was unconscious for some time. In a day or two peritonitis developed and Dr. Carpenter was again sent for. He Rave her the necessary treatment and was later informed that she was doing so well it would not be neces sary for him to see her again. Sun day be got word that she was worse but before he reached her bedside ebe died. Coroner E. F. Fenton went to Ce dar Hill Monday and held an inquest, the following gentlemen composing the jury: J. T. Gaddy, A. J. Spring er, G. E. Burns, It. A. Maner, W. T. Hendley, S. M. Clark. Several witnesses were examined as to the rock being thrown by Young Dun lap, and Dr. Carpenter testified as to his treatment of the dead girl for the jractured skull and peritonitis. Dr. ii. M. Covington, Jr., the coun ty physician, performed the autopsy and testified as follows: "On' examining the body of Eunice Tomlinson about 24 hours after death 1 found just above left ear a contused and lacerated wound extending down ward about one and a half inches. Also found abdomen enormously dis tended. Removing the scalp, I found fracture of skull somewhat an gulir and about an inch or an inch and a half long extending down wards towards base, Alter remov ing skull 1 fouud indications of hem orrhage, though small. It showed some disintegration of brain tissue about the size of hickory nut. This disintegration was due to pressure downward from fracture of the skull for an inch or inch and a half. Indi cated blood stains. Examination of the abdomen, which was immensely distended due to peritonitis. The in testines, stomach, liver and pancreas were immensely congested. I can't say whether death was due to wound on the head or to peritonitis. Both frequently produce death." At the conclusion of Dr. Coving ton's testimony the jury ret rned the following verdict: "We, the jury duly empaneled by E. F. Fenton, coroner of Anson coun ty, as to the cause of the death of Eunice Tomlinson, Col., of Anson ville township, find as follows: That death ws caused by peritonitis or by fracture? oT skull by a blow from rock thrown' by Harry Dunlap, and re commend? that ie be held for grand jury acjiou." Harry Dunlap was required to give b in the sum of $300 for his appearance at the next term of crim inal court 'to await the action of the grand jury; - :l ,f Mr. W.

A small audience heard the adlress of Col. S. A. Jones, president of the South Atlantic ami Trans-Continental Railroad Company, in the court house Tuesday afternoon. Col. Jones is a native of Kentucky. Fourteen years ago, after being actively and largely engaged in railroad work in Florida, he moved to Waynesville, this state, for his health. He has beeu perfecting plans for the South Atlantic and Trans Continental Rail road several years, and now feels that the proposed line will certainly be built. The railroad will start in the coal fields of Tennessee at Knoxville, and run through the following counties of this state: Haywood, Buncomlie, Rutherford, Cleveland, Gaston, Mwck lenburg, I'nlou, Anson, Richmond, Scotland, Roleson, Columbus, to Southport, Brunswick county, and will run by the county seats of all these counties except Union and Rich mond. The road has the endorse ot the state of North Carolina and of a number of other commonwealths, and the intention of Its projectors is to force the establishment of a port at Southport, thereby destroying the iniquitons discrimination in freight rates enforced against North Carolina by the railroads. At the conclusion of Col. Jones' speech a petition was circulated for signatures asking the county commis sioners to call an election on the ques tion of the county voting $3,000 in bonds for every is He of the proposed road constructed in the county, the county to receive stock In the road for a like sum. There will be about 25 miles of road in this county, if it is built, therefore the amount Anson will be asked to vote is approximate ly $75,000. ' ' Death of Mr. K. T. Kedfcarn. Mr. E. T.

May these young people remember that each dayithey areexpected to read a portion of the Bible and commit to memory a verse, to be given at roll call every meeting, thereby exercis ing their conscience toward God and man, and accumulating wisdom, knowledge and understanding. It makes our work very sacred to know that the Master assigns it to us Easy or hard, it is what He gives u- to do. It must be right therefore for He is perfect in wisdom, perfect in love. The common tasks of our every lay lives furnish us the elements which go to make the divinest deeds. No one can tell another what his par ticular work for Christ is. The kiuds of work are as many as the person- are. "To each one his work". Let us listen for the Masters call to duty. Let us be where He wants us to be and do what He wants us to do, ever remembering: "Heaveu is hot. gaitunl at, a iosr!-' bound.

Hamlet Policeman Who Killed rjro Pariloneil; Mr. Fulton Griffin, who was con victed some time ago of manslaugh ter for killing a colored man he was arresting while chief ot police at Hamlet and sentenced to the peniten tiary for 12 months, has been par doned by Gov. Kitchin. The Gov ernor gives the following reasons for issuing the pardon: "Under the testimony offered at the trial, prisoner was properly con victed and sentenced. There has come to liuht evidence which in the opinion of the judge would have pro duced a verdict of acquittal, had it teen submitted to the jury. The so licitor and every member of the jury recommended pardon, as do hun dreds of citizens. Thrre is no pro test against it. Prisoner, who was a policeman, in arresting a nero, shot him. His prison record is good. Owing to his good character, the rec ommendations filed, the letters of the judge and solicitor, deemiug that bis punishment has been sumcieut under all the circumstances, especially in view of the fact that his plea of self- defense would probably have been sustained with the evidence now shown by affidavits, I pardon H. F. Griffin.'" ' FOR RENT Good 4-rooui house and 2 acres of land on .'.Lee. Avenue; five minutes walk from courthouse, T. B.
