WHO WAS KILLED
Special to The News.
Lexington, Aug. 15. Yesterday Wm.
Wilson, an aged negro, was killed by
train 37 on a trestle near Lexington
He had stopped on the trestle and was
looking at some hands at work below
when the train bore down upon him.
Spectators of the tragedy say that he
had time and oportunity to step to
one side and save himself, but did
neither. On the contrary he lost his
head and struck out down the trck
ahead of the fast passenger. The en
gine tossed him high into the air, and
as he fell, the speedy train hurled him
to one side, dead and mangled. He
lived in Greensboro. In the civil war
he served as body servant for his
young master.
Collector J. D. Albright has been
here this week fixing up bonds for
makers of brandy. From all appear
ances there will be plenty of liquor
made in this county.
Sunday morning in the First Reform
ed church there was an interesting
and unusual occurence, but the central
figure in it is unknown and apparent
ly unknowable. When the church offi
cers cast up the total of the regular
collection, they discovered an enve
lope, such as is commonly used by
the church members when they donate
without name or mark on it that would
lead to the discovery of the person
who placed it on the plate. In this en
velope there was four $5 bills, one $10
bill and one $20 bill $50 in all. It
was a princely offering. There is much
lively speculation as to who this liber
al contributor was.
The condition of Mr. J. N. Menden
hall, chairman of the county commis
sioners, who was struck by a train
nearly a montn ago and badly hurt, is
now much improved and once more
his friends dare hope for his ultimate
recovery. Since his injuries were re
ceived Mrs. Mendenhall, who has been
in feeble health for a long time, has
died, to the deep sorrow of Lexington
people.
M'KEE WILL BE
HEW
COMMISSIONER
FOR AN ELEVATED BOULEVARD.
Engineer Plar.s a Street Level Subway
in San Francisco.
From the San Francisco Bulletin.
Reed & Co... engineers and contrac
tors, submitted to the supervisors
Saturday details of a scheme for an
elevated boulevard from the ferry to
Third street on Market., to carry all
lighter traffic and pedestrians, leaving
the present level of the street, which
would serve as a subway without the
expense of excavation, to electric pas
senger and freight cars and heavy
trucking. The company agrees- to ac
cept the city's bonds payable in thir
ty years, for the work, and sets $5,500,-
000 as the price for which they will
realiz ethe plan.
The scheme inculdes the construc
tion of an arcade and park at the. fer
ry, elevated crossings for pedestrians
at intersecting streets, elevated ap
proaches to the boulevard from the
same, and a tunel under Market, from
Third to Kearny. The promoters
,cint out that the vast expense in
curred by other cities in providing for
their rapid transit lines, such as dis-
1 osing of sewers, electric lines and wa
1 - r mains will be obviated by the
i iesent situation, consequent on the
re. In adition, the elevated boule
- ard would become a part of the new
f t?el buildings to be erected along the
; i reet and bind them together so as
to render them earthquake proof.
The center of the proposed boule
ird is occupied by a park, the orna
? .ntalion of which is included in the
f ;timatm. At convenient intervals
toere are stations for the subway after
ti e New York plan. At the ferries the
handling of passengers is provided for
T. ith a seies of circular switches, each
:ar being thrown to its own platform
by a switchman, who operates all the
c v.rs with a lever. None would have to
c-.oss any track to get a desired car,
but would step into the appropriate
booth and wait until the car would
be switched alongside.
;It is claimed by the promoters that
lectric cars would be operated at any
desired speed, as there would be no
other traffic crossing the tracks
throughout the length of the subway.
Fasengers from the feries who did not
desire to take pasage in a car would
pas out onto the elevated boulevard,
where accomodations are provided for
carriages and automobiles, and where
the sidewalks enter the esplanade
along the park. Ornamental electric
light fixtures, potted palms, trees,
grass plots, all are provided for, with
extensive arcades and other architec
tural features.

North Carolina's Good Example
The lynching at Salisbury Jias arous
ed the people of North Carolina to the
danger of mob violence and to the ne
cessity of punishing those who "take
the law into their own hands" and
mete out summary punisment to per
sons accused of crime. The press of
the State denounced the outrage in un
mistakable terms, and it was suggest
ed by more than one newspaper that
the failure to punish the lynchers of
Anson county doubtless had much to
do with the bold outbreak - at Salis
bury. The Governor and the pres'd
ing judge also spoke their minds free
ly, and arrests were made as promptly
as possible. One of the ringleaders, an
exconvict, was tried on Friday last
and in a few hours convicted and sen
tenced to a long term in prison. There
was no doubt of his guilt. It was prov
en by many eye-witnesses, aiid there
was no escape. Other arrests have
been made, and there will doubtless
be more convictions. The ex-convict
should not be made a scapegoat. Every
man convicted of the crime should "oe
punished, regardless of his position.
The higher the position the greater
the crime.
North Carolina is setting a good ex
ample. As soon as it is understood
far and wide that lynching' will be
punished as felony fthat species of
crime, which has disgraced the South
and cost it so dearly, will be far less
frequent, if it does not disappear alto
gether. Times-Dispatch. .

THE BRIDE.
(Peter Mc Arthur, in Waston's Maga
zine.) .
Ho, windy gosip, in your ear! '
When morning threw the casement
wide
The jilted sun with eager face,
Stole in and kissed the waking bride!
And, while she blushed, a bobolink
That all he sees in music tells.
Rang out the tidings to the world
With the tinkling chimes of elfin
bells.
She rose and donned her rich attire,
The yearning bridesmaids led her
down,
And she was wedded in the church
Before the jostling, gaping town.
But think you that the stoled priest,
With studied pomp and sacred rite,
Hath wholly bound to one on earth
This bride of adoring light?
The grace of the elusive streams
Is in that form his vows would bind,
For she has roamed the summer world
A free-foot follower of the wind.
And though you choired the husband's
joy
And mellow chimes have pulsed it
wide,
The birds are singing to the flowers
That she has trothed another's bride.
The Coal Production of North Carolina
For several years practically all the
coal production of North Carolina has
been from one mine, the Cumnock,
near Egypt, in Chatham County. The
output has been very irregular and
during the last three years has nota
bly declined. The largest production
in recent years was in 1899, when
26,986 sliort tons were mined. . y
There are two areas in North Caroli
na, says Mr. E. W. Parker, statistician
of the United States Geological Survey,
in a forthcoming report in which coal
occurs. Both of these are found in
the Triassic formation and are of the
same age as the Richmond coal basin
in Virginia. T,b,e two areas are known
as the Deep and Dan. River fields, being
named from the two rivers that drain
them. The only productive -beds at
present are those in the Deep River
district, in -Chatham and-Moore -counties.

somebody else's and you are trying to
catch up with it.

Bladder toubles most always result from
iderangement of the kidneys and a cure in
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can make no rr.rstake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and

It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
wig pain in passing it, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being corralled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during; the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
