Wild Fight in an Engine Gab.
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. ID.
On a freight train dashing
forward over the Louisville &
Nashville road at the rate of 30
miles an hour, late last night,
two men, one black and crazed
by drink, the other white, en
gaged in a life and death strug
gle in the cab of the locomotive,
which ended in the death of the
negro and the " miraculous es
cape from the same f ate hj the
white man.
When train No. 25, south
bound, left here .last night at
10 :15 p. m.. Engineer P. Bish
op and 'Fireman Wiley Craig,
colored, occupied the locomo
tive cab. When two miles from
the city, Bishop told the fire
man to stir up the fire. The
negro paid 'no attention to the
order and it was repeated.
This time he uttered an oath
and springing from Iris seat,
drew a revolver and fired point
blank iit the engineer. The
bullet missed him and the en
gineer struck the revolver from
the negroe's hand just as the
latter was about to fire a second
shot. Craig drew a knife and
grasping the engineer by the
shoulder pulled him from the
box and cult him in a dozen
places across the breast Bishop
had a pistol in his hip pocket
but he was held for a time in
such a position" that he could
not reach it. Finally after a
desperate struggle during which
the two men rolled on the floor
of the cab Bishop managed to
draw his pistol and fire. The
bullet struck the negro in .the
breast and penetrated his heart
Without a groan he fell back
into the darkness.. The train at
that time was near Oxmoor.
There it was halted by the
wounded engineer who told the
crew of his thrilling encounter.
Bishop says his watch chain
alone saved him from a fatal
blow at the hands
of the rie-
gro.

Wliicli Was The False Propliel?
The Democratic speakers last
fall told the people what they
might expect if the gold stand
ard was continued. They told
them that their products would
continue to depreciate in value,
that their lands would, not im
prove in price find that their
labor would still bring them
only a bare subsistence. The
ffold standard was continued
and all these things have come
to pass. The men and papers
that prophesied ten-cent cotton
are now being put to shame by
about half that price for our
main money crop. The long
heralded prosperity has" not
coiue. Statesville Mascot.
Butler Said It.
The Rocky Mount Argonaut,
a reputable paper, said in a re
cent issue, discussing the out
rage' .at
Rockingham several
weeks ago :
Can a man with an atom of
decent blood in his veins read
or hear of the cruel fate which
jvertook this innocent young
jjirl on her way to her daily
avocation witnout everv in-
stinct crying for vengeance on
the damnable fiend . in human
disguise who wrecked her
young life? ' Do the white peo
ple of Rockingham rejoice that
Jie young girl was -outraged by
this black be'ast? We cannot
believe they do, but we must
believe it if we are to, believe
the words spoken by Marion
Butler, United States Senator
from North Carolina in his
speech the other day in this
town. In that spee?h he said :
"If colored men commit out
rages the Democrats pretend
to be terribly shocked in public,
but when they get behind a wall
ey laugh until they grow fat,
and if the outrages are not fre
quent enough they hire worth
less negroes to commit them."
Butler's paper denied that he
liad fver . made any such re
marks, and now an affidavit
has-been secured from three of
the best citizens of Rocky
Mount, which reads :
'"We, the undersigned do
hereby make affidavit that we
heard the speech of Senator
Butler and that the above ex
tract in quotation marks is in
substance what he said.
"(Rev.)B. S. McKenzie.
"F. J. Thorp, M. D.
"J. J. Daughtry.
"Nov. .12, 1897. i
"Sworn to and subscribed be
fore me this the 13th dav of
Nov., 1897. '
! "John L. Arrington,
Notary Public."
This is nice language to be
coming from a United States
Senator. No wonder crime in
North Carolina is on the in
crease when men, who ought to
be men, make use of such ex
pressions. When we read the
quotation it makes our blood
run cold to think that North
Carolina -has ever-- produced a
white man within her borders
that will make use of such lan
guage. So long . as these men
live and so long as negroes com
mit these crimes lynching will
prosper.
In commenting on this the
Charlotte Observer says : "Of
the' creature who is capable of
such a speech as this, it would
be base flattery to say that he is
a beast. By it he has placed
himself outside the pale of civ
ilization. He has not made
the poor amend of an apology
for it. but has sought, by false
hood and evasion to slink out
of the responsibility for his in
famous words. He deserves
that the mark of Cain should
be put upon him that he may
be known wherever he goes for
exactly what he is.

If a Girl Shrinks From The
Pledge Siie Had Better
Remain Unmarried.
"If a girl shrinks from the
word obey, or hesitates to speak
it at the altar, it will be better
that she shall never approach
the hour of her marriage,"
writes Edward W. 5ok in the
October Ladies' Home Journal,
in reply to inquiries from two
girls if they should insist upon
the word "obey" being omitted
from their marriage ceremonv.
"Either she is doubtful of her
own love or distrusts the heart
of her lover. And in either
case her marriage will be a sin
in the eyes of God. Whether
marriage is a union of true love
and- marriage should be
naught but that the question
of obey, is not thought of ; the
union of two loving hearts, each
filled with the thought o'f the
other both to be united in one
complete whole. That is mar
riage, and that alone. Let non
essentials enter it, and the holi
est state into which man and
woman cau enter this side of
Heaven becomes a wrong, an
irreparable sin. .
"Shall these two girls, then,
and all other girls with their1
faces turned toward the altar of
marriage during these weeks to
come, say, 'obey?' Yes, a thousand-times
yes. And as they
sav it to the men of their hearts,
so will the men, in turn, prom
ise to love them as, wives, 'even
as Christ loved Church' which
unites them, 'and gave Himself
for it.' , No woman has found
it difficult to obey the husband
who loves her as only a true
man can love( one woman in a
universe. She does not find
the little word coming up in
her married life to make her
regret the utterance. On the
contrary, she never thinks of it,
except to be thankful that slie
did not shrink from it. The
state of matrimony is not a
state of demand on the part of
the husband, nor of obedience
on the part of the wife. It is a
perfect state that lifts two peo
ple higher ; a state where love
is masterful and supreme.

Statesman,
Difficulties-
The man who has no difficul
ties to enconntrr in lifn nnvnr
has much of a hand in the bat
tles of life. The greatest trou
ble about difficulties is not the
difficulties themselves, but the
proper way to overcome them.
No life is smooth all the way
through. Even the little tot at
its mothers knee oftch has diffi
culties to encounter. The young
man with eiicrgy and persever
ance often has severe struggles
before he accomplishes any
thing. Honey is sweet, and,
to many, very palatable, but of
ten the painful sting of the busy
bee is felt before it can be ob
tained. It is very difficult to
ascend a high mountain, but
when 3ou have reached the sum
mit nature places before your
vision the magnitudo of God's
handiwork and you behold with
awe and admiration. You have
a great work lefore you and in
order tov accomplish - that work
properly you have many diflii
culties to encounter : and it
may require years of hard labor
and study to surmount them.
but you must make an honest
eflort to get tin tho hill. All
men were created for a grand .
purpose, but that purpose is of
ten foiled by the alluring devi
ces of the devil.
It seems strango that men
should fight against all good
natural impulses and chooso
to do the very things that are
hurtful to them for time and
eternity, and yet this is the case.
Men will go to political speak
ing and stand on or sit upon the
ground for hours and listen to
political abuse and vulgar slang
but when at church, if tho
preacher speaks more than a
half or three-fourths of an hour
they are much fatigued and
jiromise themselves not to sit so
long again, 'lherc is but one
reason that can bo given ' for
this and that is that thoy donot
like good, substantial truthes
every preacher has difficulties
of this nature to contend with,
but this is not all. His flock per
