injuries; James. Lovell, conduc

porter of the local train, legs
hurt; William S. Clemens, of
East Durham, N. C, slightly
hurt; R. E. Gallagher, express
messenger, hurt on the head and
arms, also severely bruised.
The Florida train was late in
leaving Charlotte, but was given
the right of way, the orders be
ing for it to pass the local train
at Harri?burg, where there is a
siding. The local had slowed
up pieparatory to taking this
siding, and was but a hundred
yards from the north end of the
switch when the express, runv
ning at 45 miles per hour, dashed
into it.
The two locomotives came tos
gether with a crash which re-
sembled a sharp crack of thun
der. Just previous to the col
lision Engineer Tunstall had ap
plied the air brakes and jumped.
Many of the passengers on the
Florida train were thrown from
their seats, but none of them was
hurt. The two express cars on
that train were shattered into
hundreds of pieces. Soon after
the accident the postal car of the
local caught fire, but by the use
oi chemicals the flames were ex
tinguished.
Postal Clerk Benton met with
a horrible death. His legs were
pinioned so close to the boiler of
one of the locomotives that he
was burned and scalded by the
heat and steam. He begged pit
eously to his rescuers to cut off
his legs and extricate him. Al
though every effort was made
to release him it was an hour
and a half before he was taken
out. He lived but fifteen min
utes longer.
Fireman Donaldson and Mr.
Eudy were found in the centre
of the wreck. The wounded are
being cared for in Charlotte.
Ut..ited States Senato'r Money
and Gen. Julio Sanguilly were
passengers on the Florida train,
but neither was hurt.
I hope you won't think this
story sacreligions or anything of
that sort, though if you fail to
look at it through the innocent
ey s of the actors in it, it does
seem a trine irreverent. One
rainy day the children there
were several of them of a cler
gymar here in town made a raid
on the palms which decorate
their mother's drawing room,
and carried every plant up to
their play room in the garret.
Later, the mother went up to
see what they had done with the
palms. She found them ar
ranged about the floor, and the
children playing among them.
"What are you playing, chiU
dren?" she asked.
"We're playing Adam and
Eve in the Garden of Eden,"
replied one little midget. Just
then from behind a screen in
the corner advanced the tiny son
ot the house. He was dressed
in the simple garb of which
Cupid and Truth have practi
cally a monolopy. On his head
was his father's silk hat, and in
his hand was his father's cane.
"Why, what in the world are
ou doing?" cried the astonished
mother.
"Why, mother," said Eve,
"don't you know what he is?"
Then, with all the simplicity in
the world, she explained: "Why
he's God walking in the Gar
den." Washington Post.

On the first Monday in June
there is to be held, in every
county m the State, an election
of members of the county boards
of education, and already steps
aie being taken looking to the
agitation of the matter anion"-
the present county educational
authorities.
The superintendent of public
instruction has just prepared a
circular letter which he will
within the next ten days send
out to the county school trustees.
It is self-explanatory and is as
follows:
'I wish to call your attention
to the important election to take
place in your county on the first
Monday in June of this year, in
accordance with section 6 of the
school law as enacted at the last
General Assembly.
"I trust that the greatest wis
dom will be used in selecting the
county board of education. Let
men be selected far their quali
fications to- discharge the im
portant duties as members of the
county board of education. I
sincerely liope that politics will
have nothing at all to do with
the selection of these men. Let
men be selected who have the
educational interests of their
county at heart.
"Men who will not be actuated
by any party preiudice, but men
who will at all times and under
all circumstances keep the school
interests as an incentive to wise
and prudent action on their
part.
Yours very tiuly,
C. H. Mebane,
State Superintendent of Public
Schools.

The following circular has

23, 24, 1897:
"The military camp will be
pitched inside the exposition
grounds. Floored tents will be
provided free for all troops at

ter. There wi-1 be a mess house
where rations will be served at
very reasonable rates, probably
not more than 50 cents a day per
man. Bathing houses for troops
free. The military to pay one
entrance fee of 50 cents to the
grounds and to have free en
trance afterwards. Commands
can be provided to do their own
cooking and messing if preferred.
A military detail will meet

them to camp."
Cream one pound each of su
gar and butter together, add one
pound of flour, two teaspoonfuls
of baking powder, half a cupful
of sweet milk and the beaten
whites of six eggs; bet well,
flavor with extract of almond,

Coughs
Is there a tickline in the
throat? Do you cough a great
deal, especially when lying
down? Are you hoarse at
times? Does nearly every cold
you take settle in your throat?
These "throat coughs" are
very deceptive. Don't neglect
them. Troches, or cough
syrups won't touch the spot.
You must take remedies that
will enrich the blood, tone up
the nerves; and heal the in
flamed membranes.
SCOTT'S EMULSION of
Cod-liver Oil with Hypophos
phites contains such remedies.
It has wonderful nourishing
and healing power. The cause
of the cough is removed; the
whole system is given new life
and vigor; and the danger
from threatening lung trouble
is swept away.

This enterprise, which was in
stigated by the Women's Auxil
iary " of the -Charlotte Young
Men's Christian Association, has
its management vested in an ex
ecutive committee of sixteen
representative women of Mecks
leuburg county and is advised
by an Advisory Board and lions
orary committee of prominent
men from both States. The op
ening day is announced for May
4th and it is expected that all
will be in readiness by that
time. The building, which is
cenirany located, is going up
rapidly and will be an ornament
to Charlotte, both during and af
ter the life of the exposition.
Art, science and industry are
the special features to be incor
porated. Especial emphasis is
laid upon the Fine Art Depart
ment by the management, as the
ladies are especially desirous of
increasing an interest in this
section, to be influenced, by the
exposition. The most popular
picture in America, "Breaking
the Home Ties," has been se
cured and will be exhibited in
the department. This picture
is valued at 50,000, and is ins
sured for that amount while on
exhibition. Some of America's
most prominent artists wili ex
hibit, and the collection will
number about 300 pieces.
The scientific department will
contain usual exhibits with co
pient emphasis upon the mu
seum. The collections of Colon
ial War and Historical Relics
will be one of the finest ever
gathered in Miat section, and
will contain relics from all over

countries. A historical portrait

gallery will also be an important
and attractive feature.
The industrial department
will be one of the most compact

so small a space. It will include
manufacturing goods and will
also contain some machinery in
operation. The lights will be
furnished from the exposition's
plant owned and operated by the
Charlotte Machine Com nan v.

The electricity displays will
probably be the handsomest ever
seen in the South unless it be
that at Atlanta.
The railroads will grant greats

sion has been placed at 2 5cts. as
it is the desire of the manage
ment to have the educational
influences that the exposition
will exert extended among the
people who cannot ordinarily

THE JERSEY EDITORS.
Sightseeing in N. C Delighted
With Their Trip Praise
for the State.
Predicted Death Long Ahead.
"I shall live until McKinley
comes into office," said aged
Benjamin F. Burley, an ardent
Republican of Altoona, Pa., sev
eral months ago, "and then I ex
pect to die on April 8, 1897."
Mr. Burley was ill when he ut
tered this prediction and he died
last Thursday, April 8th, as he
had said he would. "Uncle
Ben' as he was familiarly
known, forged the frames of the
first engine which ran over the
Pennsylvania lines to Pittsburg.
He was employed as a black
smith by the Pennsylvania Rail
road for more than forty years.
Lumberton had another very
serious fire last week, supposed
to be the work of incendiaries.
The total loss amounted to some
thing near S9o. The insur
ance was $56,300.
A party of New Jersey News
paper men, some of them accom
panied by their wives, were the
guests of this State several days
last week. The Progressive Fat-
yier says :
"They first went to Charlotte
and enjoyed the hospitality of
that progressive city. Then
they came back to Southern
Pines and spent a day and night
there. They travelled over the
Seaboard Air Line on a special
train. On Kridav mornitifr a
party of ladies and gentlemen
left Raleigh at 10 a. 111. for
Southern Pines to escort the vis
ltors to Raleigh. Several Rals
eigh editors were in the party
The Raleighites took dinner a
Pinehurst, the ideal winter res
sort owned by Mr. Tuft, the
millionaire soda fountain mauu
facturer. In addition to the
beauties of Pinehurst, they saw
the 640 acre orchard, owned by
the Van Lindley Orchard Coins
pany, which is a sight never to
be forgotten. At 3 p. 111. the
party joined the Jersey editors
and returned to Raleigh at 5:20
An hour was spent in the State
Museum and this wonderful ex
hibit of the resources of the
State astonished the Northern
editors. All said it was far be
yond their expectations, even
though they had heard many
glowing reports of our museum.
At 9 p. m. the editors and
many citizens ot Raleigh went
to the Governor's Mansion to at
tend the reception given in hon
or of the visitors. Governor and
Mrs. Russell charmed all by
their cordial welcome. The
Mansion was brilliantly lighted
and the decorations were taste
ful. An elegant collation was
served in the State diuing hall.
Miss Petty, of Moore county, and
Miss Smith, of Peace Institute,
were present and consented to
sing and added much to the en
joyment of the evening. Mr.
Frank W. Baldwin, cf the Or
ange, N J. Chronicle, spoke in
behalf of the editorial party, and
was very lavish in praise of the
people he and his friends have
met. Mayor Russ was called
upon for speech, but crawfished
and compromised by singing his
famous song, "Down on de Old
Cape Fear," and was heartily
applauded.
Unfortunately, rain interfered
with the drive around the city
which had been planned for Sat
urday morning. The visitors
made a very favorable impres
sion and we hope they will come
again. They left for their homes
via the Seaboard Air Line at
1 1:35 Saturday morning.
