Mr. Ellison was the owner of the machine in which he recived the in juries. It is stated that something went wrong with the steering gear while the machine was running in in termediate speed and it ran into an embankment, turning turtle. The steering wheel struck Mr. Ellison in the chest, crushing the bone and badly bruising his body. Medical attention was given as quickly as possible and he was brought to the hospital, but death followed a few hours after an operation was performed. Chauncey Allred, of Liberty the only other oc cupant of the car, escaped with a broken collar bone, and it was stated at the hospital that he was doing nicely. Mr. Ellison was 65 years of age and is survived by a son, A. M. Ellison, Jr., of Montgomery, Ala., and a sister, Mrs. Minnie Hackney, of Durham. He was a nephew of J. A. Odell, of Greensboro. His residence was five miles west of Staley. Deceased was one of the county's most prominent citizens, and the past term taught the school at Patterson Grove. His death comes as a great shock to his many friends over the county, and it was only a few days ago that Mr. Ellison was in Asheboro after the closing of his school at Patterson's Grove. The Telepost. Circulars have been distributed in which the information is given that the Telepost is preparing to give the electric mail a trial service between St. Louis and Chicago. During the last session of Congress the country heard a good deal about the Tele- post. A committee was appointed to investigate its claims with the view of making it a branch of the Post office Department. The committee recommended it to the favorable con sideration of the Department. . The plan appears to be to induce the Government to take on the telegraph service just as it did the specail de livery letter, the Telepost claiming an automatic system by which as high as 1,000 word a minute can be trans mitted over a single wire. We are told that where a message is delivered n a postal card it will be called a tele card, which means 10 words for 10 cents, and when it is delivered in a sealed envelop it is called a telepost, which means 60-words or less for. 25 cents and 5 cents for each additional 10 words or less. From the Chicago St. Louis base, the Telepost proposes to extend this business as rapidly as lines are built or leased.Charlotts Observer. OVER THE COUNTY. CHAMPION SPELLER.
