THUS D. 11 EMEN'T BAD WRECK ON SOUTH ERN NEAR HENDERSON Henderson. June 3. A mixed train on the Southern Railroad met a disastrous if not fatal wreck this afternoon on the ouskirts of this city just after it had well cleared the yards on its outgoing trip for Oxford. The ci.gine left the rails at a public road crossing just west of the limits, plunged down into the side ditch, rolled over 011 its left side and slid forward in the mud some 20 yards or more. The tend er was thrown squarely across the track, torn entirely from its trucks and turned over on its side. The cab of the engine was torn complete ly off and into kindling wood, The front freight box was torn from its t'ticks and hurled into the ditch on the opposite side of the track from the engine. Altogether it was a fearful looking lot of wreckage. The track was completely torn up for seveial yards and the rails were twisted into all sorts of shapes. From about this mass of wreckage Engineer J. D. Tyler was picked up a very seriously it not fatally injur ed man. lie had evidently been hurled from his seat to ihe ground with force and it is feared he sus tained serious internal injuries the extent of which could not be ascer tained before he was hurried off on a fast Seaboard train for a Rich mond hospital, being accompanied by Mrs. Tyler and Dr. B. G. Alien. He is a very popular man in this city and much anxiety is felt here as to the extent and nature of his injuries. It was a mystery to the hundreds of people, who soon hur ried out to the wreck in automobiles and other conveyances how he es caped instant death. And stranger still perhaps the fireman escaped without so much as a scratch. The crash came quickly and neither had any time to avoid whatever the con sequences might have been to them Some six or more freight boxes and the two passenger coaches at the rear in which there were a number of passengers did not leave the rails The passengers got a good shaking up bur none were hurt. The railroad people say the wreck was caused by severrl inches of dirt left on the track at the public road crossing by a squad of road builders engaged at that point. SURRY DEMOCRATS DID NOT ENDORSE STEDMAN Mr. Airy, June 4. All signs now point to the nomination of Sam E. Marshll, of this city, by the Re publicans to oppose Major Chas M. Stedman for Congress for this coun ty will stand solidly by him in the congressional convention and he is being urged to make the race by Republicans and Progressives all over the district. His friends here claim that he is, by far, the strong est candidate thai 'can be liaiiied because he can unite both wings of the party and appeal strongly to the farming and laboring classes. His popularity as a candidate is demon strated by the unanimous support of his county and the assurances of support by local Democrats who de clare they will not support the nomi nee of trie Democratic party. As an evidence of the opposition in the county, in last Saturday's conven tion, Surry Democrats refused to endorse their congressman and came near adopting a resolution in strncting for C. II. Haynes, of this county, notwithstanding the fact that he is not a candidate. Mr. Haynes friends say that he missed the opportunity of his life when he refused to stand for the nomination and are still loyal to him. The convention finally endorsed Senator Overman and Solicitor Graves. Yesterday, at Dobson, the many Republican candidates for county offices were exceedingly busy look ing after their interest. Candidates for the nomination are even more numerous than usual owing to the fact that several important offices are to be filled by new men on ac count of the two term proposition and it appeared strange to see the county officers stand by and watch a scramble for their places. There is already entimations of harmony deals that will satisfy all parties but it will require the convention to decide the contest. NORTHSIDE ITEMS.

POSTMASTER WILLIAMSON AT BURLINGTON QUITS Washington, June 5. The resig nation of Finlay Williamson as post master at Burlington has been ten dered to the postmaster general and accepted, effective June 15. Major Stedman called on First s sistant Postmastej General Roivr oday and laid Mr. Williamson's re ignation on his desk. The depart ment accepted the resignation and asked the fifth district congresstn.ru to recommend a successor not later than June 15. Representative Srt-J-man announced tonight that ne would comply with the request tn 1 asked that it be published in the Newspapers that all who desired to apply for the place send in their petitions before the middle of this month. It is believed here that O. T Crowson will be named as Mr. Wil liamson's successor. Mr. Crowson has devoted much time and mor. '.y to the cause of Democracy. The postoftice department officials were anxious that he be given the Dar lington postmastership when Mr. Williamson was named. Not that they had anythi g against the pre sent postmaster, but they thought Crowson needed the job and tha it would be a just reward for his s u -vices to the party. At that time Postmaster General Burleson and his assistant. Mr. Roper, ask.jd Major Stedman as a personal favor to them to withdraw his recommen dation for Mr. Williamson and al low Crowson to be named. In view of these facts it is thought that the Burlington editor has an excellent chance of landing the plum at this time. Mr. Williamson resigned because, he said he could not give the prop er tune to tne ottice witnou. lecting his private business.

What is a quart of milk worth? Depends on the milk. So of paint : depends on the paint. Devoe is worth the top price, whatever it is. Poor paint is worth nothing at all; you've got to pay your paincxr $3 or $4 a gallon for putting it on; and it isn't worth it. Devoe goes twice as far and weai s twice or three times or four times as long. The cheap paint is Devoe at the top of the market. DEVOE. ' A. B. Moss sells it.
