AXI Mi-ilH IMMtrvcIt Family suri in Tr!i to Iticliiuoiul ami (Mm In I .Hist. Crecnsbcro News. If you had nine children to start with, and two cf the nine had mar ried and brought in another two, making, with your wife, an even dor. en persons looking to you for coun sel and guidance, to say nothing of transportation; and If you undertook to carry the whole bunch to Rlch- inond: and if you had lived In and about Wlnston-Sj-lem and therefore had no chance to become used to the bustle of a real town; and if you had to change cars In a place like Greensbcro; and If, after the train was several miles beyond the junction point, the conductor should suddenly come up with a telegram In his hand and ask you u your whole family was there, what would you do? Would you lake it that he was making game of you and land one on the point cf his Jaw, or would you turn around, and check up? Those were the alternatives pre setted to a citizen cf Forsyth couu ty the other day by the conductor of train No. 14 somewhere between here and Reldsvllle. This gentle man, whose name la Noah, chose the peaceful attitude, and when his Inventory was complete, discovered to his horror that he was short an Hon. to wit, one sou of huge cu riosity and seven summers. An other son was detailed to drop off at Danville and act as a tracer. His duties were easily dlscharg- ed, however, for Station Master Fouslue had already spotted the prodigal, and bad Impounded him. He It was who had sent the tele gram to the conductor of No. 14, catching him at Henaja. Mr. Foushe, shortly after the train left, had, no ticed a small boy wandering In a forlorn fashion around the round house. Long expeerlenee with run aways, waifs and strays of various kinds has trained the station mas ter's eye until he can spot a lost boy as far as he can se him. He Interrogated this one and soon had the whole story. It teems that the Noah family had come over from Winston-Salem yes terday morning, and when they got to Greensboro the excitement of be ing in town so overcame the seven year old boy that be left a package In the walling room, and remember ing it only after he was on the Rich mond train, he slipped off again to get It, but once on the ground he was lost again, for the Bights and sounds of a real city, seen for the first time, so aroused hla curiosity that the Richmond train was several miles on its way before he came to himself. Naturally, the Iofs of so small a part of his crowd passed entirely unnoticed by Mr. Nouh until Mr. Foushee's telegram was presented by the conductor. The elder boy got back on the 7 o'clock train that right, and, gathering in tho stray, Blurted again for Richmond, 1.1 Killed and Over 100 Hurt In Vrck. Eufaula, Ala.. Nov. IS. fifteen persons were killed and more than 100 injured, some of them fatally. early today when three coaches of a Central of Georgia passenger train ! rt the rails at a point 17 miles . h of here and plungrd down a steep embankment. The train, wjttch consisted of five cars crowded with excursionists, was enroute from Ozark. Ala., to Kufaula, where a fair is being held. A broken rail is said to hae been the cause of the accident. As the crowded excursion train rounded a curve the t". ree cars at the rear, literally packed with passengers sud denly left the track and breaking away from the ethers, dashed down the steep embankment. The wrecked coaches were practically demolished. Occupants of the two coaches which remained on the rails imme diately bent their efforts to rescu ing the hundreds caught in - the tangled wreckage. Word of the dis aster quickly reached Clayton, Ala., three miles away, and. relief trains. bearing surgeons and nurses, were qui-kly dispatched from Ozark and Kufaula, where mcst cf the dead and Injured later were taken. HIGHWAY KOBBERY Till KSh.VY. Student Hum Unfair Historic. Waleska, Ga., Dispatch. With the band playing "Dixie the students of Relnhardt College, numbering nearly 400, gathered on the campus and made a bonfire of every copy of history i.f the United States which had been prescribed in the curriculum. The book was pre pared, by a Northern historian and the students allege that the writer Is unfair to the South and unduly partial to the North, especially In dealing with the civil war. In the history Harriet needier Stowe is praised and Jefferson Davis la declared to have been a man of small mental caliber and also traitor. The character of some of the leading Southern generals also is attacked. It Is alleged that there are even Insinuation against Gen Robert E. Lee. Relnhardt College is under the auspices of the Southern Methodist Church. It is coeducational and is the largest educational institution In ncrth Georgia. Tho Monument to the Women f the Confeih racy. Secreary R. 1). W.

A Long of the commission, have ap proved the model for the bronze fig ure that is to be the principal tea ture of the monument and that it will be sent at once to the foundry for th? casting of the bronze figure. This is an idealized figure or a wo man of the Confederacy with a grandscn at her knee listening to the nrration of the glorious deeds of the in.n .f the Confederacy. The monument li to be ready for unveil ing next spring and it is probable that President Wilson can arrange a date on which he can deliver the principal address for this ceremony. After Cottin Seed Trust In Missis tdppi. Practically every cotton seed mill company in Mi's! ippi Is made a d, indent in on anti-trust suit filed at Jaok-cn, MIfb., by State Attorney (leiicr.il Collins. The Attorney Gen eral chaws that the American Cot ton Oil Company Is practically own vi by the Standard Oil Company and that it controls 90 per cent cf the cs'ton til business in Mississippi.

State Superintendent Joyner has sent to the county superintendent of public schools throughout the State latter urging that every county su perlnteudeut be In Raleigh on the evening of Monday. November 24 ready for the opening of the annual session of the Association of County Superintendents. He urges all su p?rlntendents o be present at all sessions. The Teachers' Assembly will be In session in Raleigh Nov ember 26-29 and the superintendents will adjourn to take part in that. County and State provide for the expenses. The members of the coiin ty school boards throughout the State are being appealed to by Su per'ntendent Joyner to allow the teachers In their rep'otlve districts to attend the Teachers' Assembly without charging them for loss of time from their schools. Niisli County Create a Health part incut. A Joint meeting of the county Board of Commissioners, Board of Health, and Board of Kducation was recently held In Nashville to discuss the advisability cf employ ing a competent physician to de vole his entire time to the preven tion of sickness. It was overwhelm ingly decided by t lie boards that this bo done, so provision was made for the employment of such an officer. At the next meeting of the Nash County Board of Health, It Is ex pected that a competent man will be decided upon from anions a num ber of applicants from both within and without the county. With Rowan, which nt a recent meeting decided, to lake this pro gressive s'ep and Is now upon the lockout f:r a competent man, and Nash, there are new twelve countleB in the Slate having whole time health officers. The olher ten are Columbia. Simpson, Johnston, Robe son, New Hanover, Durhnni, Guil ford, Forsyth, Rockingham, and Buncombe, , Mr. Ib.bert Gordon Was Held 1 Ity a, Xfpo on II in Way Home at Pistol's IVInt and Itohhcd of Hist MlHMJ. At the point of an automatic pistol. Mr. R. L. Gordon was held up by a negro last Thursday even ing just after dark, on the road west of the county home, and made to hand over his pocket book in which were fifteen dollars and a lit tle over. The highwayman made hla escape and, has not been cap tured. Mr. Gordon had been to see the shooting cxhibl'ion at Lee Park and was late in starting home. A little beyond Mc.Manus s.ore beyond the couuty home, he overtook a negro, who was going In the same direction. walking in the ditch on the left hand side of the road. It was just after dark but light enough for Mr. Gordon to se plainly. The man ask ed for a ride, and Mr. Gordon pulled up to question him a little before taking him up in his buggy. The negro came near the buggy and said he wan'ed to go ou to the Houston cro3sirg to take the train. At this time he was a coupje of steps from the buggy. Suddenly holding out his pistol in Mr. Gordon's face, he said: "Put your money In my hand." Mr. Gordon could see that the pistol was an automatic Colt's like one which his s(.n uses as a guard on the chain gang. It didn't look good and he naturally handed over his pocket book. The negro took it and wheeled around, the back of the buggy and disappeared in tho woods to the right. The place was just suited for such an undertaking, woods on both sides the road and no house near. Mr. Gordon stopped and looked, to see if he could see or hear the man run, but as he did not, he supposed he was hiding behind a tree. He then whipped up and went to McCorkle's store to phone to town. As the store was closed he went on to Mr. Tom Alexander's near by and from there phoned the news to town. Deputy Sheriff Jute Griffith and Mr. G. 8. Enecore took a pair of dogs which the latter keeps for Mr, Griffith and went to try tocatch the robber. The dogs took the trail and ran it about a half a mile across the country towards Saiem school house and lost it In a cotton flald. Quite a crowd had joined the chase but nothing more could, be found. Mr, Gordon gave a. good descrip tion of the man and the officers are working on the case.- Certain In dications point to the conclusion that the man, though he said he was from West Virginia, was familiar with the locality. The same man hod been picked up by Mr. Stewart Spittle a short time before Mr. Gor d,cn came along. The man asked Mr. Spittle to give him a ride, and was taken up at the Heath old house two nnd a half miles from town. He told Mr. Spittle that he wanted to stop near McManus' store to spend the night with a family be knew, and here Mr. Spittle dropped him. The theory Is that he got in this buggy with the intention of trying to rob Mr. Spittle, but as tho latter was driving a fast horse and was continually passing people on the road, the man decided that he would have no chance, it was net far from where he was put down by Mr. Spittle that Mr. Gordon was held up. The description given by Mr. Sp'ttle tallied with that given by Mr. Gordon, and others saw the same man In the neighborhood. Such a bold piece of work has not happened In this section In a ions time. Cuius (Vuntjr Students at Trinity Organ!-. Correspondence. On Monday night, November 3. the I'nfcn County men at Trinity College met and organized for the year. The following officers were elected: President, P. N. Neal: Vice- President, K. L. Secrest: Recording Secretary, W. F. Starnes; Corres ponding- Secretary. C. A. Burrus; Treasurer. V. V. Secrest. Immediately after the election of new officers an enjoyable spread was participated in by both the eld and new members, durlug which time the President called on differ ent old members to respond, to va rious toasts on L'nlon County. This part of the program was an inno vation suggested by one of the een Icr members of the club, who, in or der to try out the plan, and to make the new men feel more at home by maklnx the whole meeting more so c!al, put through the scheme on his own initiative. So ' successful was the occasion that It was unanimous ly voted by the club to make this part of the program a regular fea ture of every meeting, which It was decided should be the first Monday night of every month. The Union County Club is an or ganization of the men in college from Union county, whose purpose is primarily to keep In touch with the graduates of the preparatory schools in that county, nnd to in crease the enrollment of the Great er Trinity from among that number. This organization has been very suc cessful in the past as is shown by the unusually large number of Union County students in College as compared with the showing made by ether counties In the state. This year there Is a large aggregation of Union County men here, all of whom take no small part in the affairs of !ud,cnt Interest. It Is doubtful if any other county in the state enjoyB such a good reputation for sending l"rge numbers of her boys and girls to college as does Union, and Trini ty has had, now has, and will have her full share of these at all times. The following are members of the club this year: E. H. Broome, C. A. Burrus. J. H. Burrus, H. C. Deal, J. R. English, Jr. J. Hawfleld. S. G. Hawfield, W. P. Hawfleld. W. S. Lee. Jr. H. E. Lee, P. N.
