AN ENCINEER'S BRAVE DEED Cool-Headeaded Coast Line Engineer Crawls Down Up. on the Cow-Catcher ot His Fast Moving Engine and Snatches Small Child From the Track. Heroism, as is pictured by the novel, of which is seldom seen, was that displayed by Engineer George Bailey Monday morning at a point one mile south of Jamssville, on the branch line of the Atlantic Coast from this city to Plymouth. His act of heroism saved the life of a child at the peril of his own, and many a person has been styled a hero who did not endanger his own safety half so much as did the act of the engineer. Monday morning he was the engineer in charge of passsnger train No. 65 bound for this city and his train was running about 25 miles an hour when it round - a curve and he noticed not a hundred yards ahead a colored child, too young to be aware of its impending danger, playing on the track. - The engineer knew th it to apply emergency breakesjwould emperil the live* ot" every passenger on the train, fjr the tax on the track would most likely result in a derail ment so he cut off the steam from the engine and made a dash for the running board and from this position on the cow-catcher of the train and as the engine reached the child playing on the track he caught its dress and pulled the child upon the engine from its impending danger and saved its life. The engineer earned the child into the cab of the engine and again applied the steam to the iron horse oefore a stop had been made and without the knowlege of other members of the train crew other than the fireman, who saw the braye act. The re mainder of the passengers hav ing heard the blowing of the whistle and the slowing down thought that some cow or other animal had been sighted upon the track, and that the whistle had served its purpose and that the engine had moved on. The child was taken to Jamesville, from where it was sent home. The incident was not told by Engineer Bailev but his fireman was the first to relate the hap pening. The engineer was questioned regarding the hap pening and he confessed that such was the the case, but de sired no publicity and said, "It was to kill the child, throw the train from the track, or else take the course I did, and I just did it."—Rocky Mount Record, A Mistake. A news item has been going the rounds of the press stating that J. B. Barrett decieved a a Miss Lola Long of Hickory, and after wining her confidence, he secured possession of her clothing, monev and left for Georgia, being arrested at Waynesville. After thorough investigation it has been learned that Miss Long was not of Hickory and fhat she was Mrs. instead of Miss and that she has three chilg dren, The facts, so far as we can learn are that Barrett fell in company with Mrs. Long on the train between Winston and Asheville. He secured posses sion of her money ($127,00) anci her baggage under promise of going to Georgia to get married. Arriving at Hickory, Barrett told Mrs. Long that he had business in Hickory that would detain him for two days. He told her to go on to Asheville he would join hei there. Instead of stopping at Asheville he went on to Waynes ville, and Mrs. Long discovered the deceit and had him arrested. When arrested the clothing was recovered but onlv $8 of the money has been found. Just The White House The aping of royalty which is | fast becoming the fashion in this country, is siowlv but surely pushing the sentiment of tradi tion in the back ground. We have already seen the exter.ded use of "rlis Excellency" in re ferring to the president of the United States, and we have abo noted the large increase in the presidential force of footmen. Now it is announced that the president will travel in a special train, and will have a section of the Washington railway station for his own use. To put the finishing touch to all this agony, after almost doubling the presi dent's salary, congress has yoted to allow Mr. Tafta "presidential automobile." Jefferson, it is said, hitched his horse to the white house gate, riding thereto unattended. And that reminds us that The Charlotte Observer objects to changing the name of the white house to the "execu tive mansion," as proposed by some of the Washington faddists. Under the caption, "Let It re main the White House," The Observer says: "There appears to be some sentiment in Washington for the restoration of Executive Mansion as the presidential residence's official name. Wherefore this feeling we do not know, unless it arises from a prejudice on the part of Mr. Roosevelt's enemies against everything he ever did. Mr. Roosevelt, arguing that there was an Executive Mansion in each state capital, but only one White House anywhere, sought the merit of distinctive ness by making his stationery and his official utterances date accordingly. The public liked the change. Apparently there is little to be said for the opposition except that all former presidents had used the other term. And the facts do not warrant an as sumption that the president took much upon himself. This is not at all like the matter of changing the motto »n certain coins or ether acts wherein Rooseveltian bumptiousness genuinely showed In an important sense, the presi dent only ratified what the peo ple had already done. For the Am erican public there has been a White House ever since the presidential residence and work shop was first under construction no less a person than George Washington—who is said to have had in mind the Virginia home where he wooed the Widow Custis—setting the example. It is white and it both deserves and needs a name of its own. In breaking away from the stilted name which had nothing but official precedent to rest upon the president did well. Downright Saxon is the name the people gave, downright Saxon is the name as it should appear in offi cial usage. The people of North Carolina call their official first citizen's residence the Governor's Mansion This is much better than Execu tive Mansion, and in the course of years a name superior even to White House will doubtless be had." Trestle Fire. About twenty feet of the rail road bridge across Mill Spring Creek near Old Fort was des troyed by fire shortly after mid night Sunday morning. Wrecking trains and crews were dispatched frjm Asheville and Marion and the entire dam age was soon repaired. How the fire originated is a mystery. It is supposed to have caught from a spark from a pass ing train. Bring your job printing to the Democrat office for good work. *INaS DYSPEPSIA TULETS rUlieva indifMtlon and Stomach Tr*ublt». BOLD ATTEMPX TO ESCAPE Statesville's Most Treasured Prisoners Make for Libsr- ty. Statesville, Feb. 25.—When Mr, Bruce Leinster. night watch man of the Statesville jail, en tered upon the inspection of the cells last night he noticed thai the door to one of the outer cells was closed and knowing that this door always stood open when not in use— and it hasn't been in use since the recent es capes and attempts to escape he knew there was something wrong. Taking hold of the knob he discovered that some one was holding the door from the inside. He lockod the door and called for help. Upon entering the cell, he discovered both Robt. and Joe Cloer, the check flashers lying Drone on the floor. They made a stiff fight but was finally recaptured and placed back in their cells. Thev had sawed their way through the bars of the cell. The Grumbler. Occasionally one will hear the remark. "I wish I was out of this town," and then one feels like saying, "I wish you were," for a man who stands on the street corners chewing and spit ting, telling obcene stories, curs ing the town, finding fault wiih his grand mother because she was a woman, claiming that the merchants are a lot of thieves, that the lawyers and newspaper men would skin a man to a finish and a whole lot more, is a nuis ance and abomination. Any town pestered with one or more such worthies would be justified in ex ercising cowhide authority on the bosom of their pants. No ene is obliged to live where he is not suited. If one hasn't an encour aging word for the business en terprise and institutions of his town, he should shut up and "go 'way back and sit down." If things don't suit you, move to where they will, A growler and sorehead in a town is an enter prise killer every time. It would pay a town to donate him $5 and tell him to move. Progress of Cooper Trial. With nearly seven weel;s of the Cooper-Sharpe murder trial passed, of which thirteen days have been devoted to the taking of testimony, the evidence is scarcely more than half in. So far, the State has shown that Senator Carmack was greeting his friend and neighbor, Mrs. Eastman, when he heard the voice of Cooper threatening him and that he endeavored to get his revolver and succeeded in geting it partialy eut of his pock et before he was shot and fell in the gutter dead. The State has also shown that Carmack had received notice that unless Coop er's name was kept out of the paper either he or Cooper must die. On the other hand, the defense has shown that the meeting of CoOper and Carmack was acci dental, that Robin Cooper en deavored to get his father away, and that the senior Cooper Only stopped to speak to Carmack, when Carmack drew his revol ver, and that Robin Cooper step ped between them and himself received the bullets intended for his father. It is now practically impossible to form any idea as to the result of the trial. It is evi dent, however, that the matter will be hocly contested on both sides.

But he has not much to say on this round, as new? is rather scarce in this part of the world at pre sent. First we give a few local items that may interest the readers somewhat. The farmers are jagging along with farm work fast as they can owing to the weather. There has been a great deal oi' plowing done. Everything is moving along very quietly, no disturbance any where. The health of this section seems to be very good j ust now. Everybody is now looking for ward to new era when this gov ernment will change hands for prosperous times to follow the event. We hope it might be so. The future will reveal its facts. Well Taft has received 321 electoral votes and every elector al vote cost the Republican party over fifty-two hundred dollars to secure them. This is a country that money rules the elections. Well we suppose that they will all have a good time at the inau guration. . The public roads are in a pretty bad shape just now. The bridge hands at the Simpson Ford bridge are moving along pretty well. It will soon be com pleted, if the weather is not too bad. The farmers are moving their yams to Charlotte market by the wagon Uads. Togan Reinhardt moved his sawmill to the lands of Frank Miller a few days ago to saw up his timber for market. A Mr. Linch has moved to the old Corpening farm, now the property of E. L. Shuford, The public schools are now all closing for this winter. The Yoder school will close on Satur day before the second March with a big entertainment. There will be an address made by some good speaker. Our good old neighbor, Capt. F. R.

No accurate record of the Alumnae and students of Greens boro Female College having been kept during the sixty-three past years oi its history, the Alumnae Association is now making an effort to gather as much material as possible for a permanent re cord of each student. In order to accomplish this, the co-opera tion of every former student and friend oi the college is earnestly solicited. We request the read ers of this paper who may be in possession of any intormation which would be of value in mak this record to kindly send us such information as early as pos sible. We would like for every form er student to write us, giving her maiden name and present name and address; alsojwhat profession orjwork she has been or is now engaged in and any other facts of interest. Why not write at once before you forget it to Mrs. W. M. Curtis, Recorder Alumnae Asso ciation. Greensboro Female Col lege, Greensboro, N. C. Conover Letter. Correspondent to The Democrat. The health of this section is very good at present. The farmers are and have been busy since the rainy weather has ceased. The school taught by C. S. Lit tle, at the Little school house closed Saturday Feb. 27th with a good entertainment, and a very large crowd present. The school taught by Kev. P. C. Henry will close Saturday March 13. Chairity school closed Friday Feb. 26, without an entertain ment. This school was taught by Misses Anthea Drum and Verde Cline. News is very scarce and I have been unable to secure any of much importance for quite awhile. Probably I can get some thing more important until my next writing. Success to the Democrat. B E. H. I I
