C. railroad ran off the track at a point 12 miles from this "city, Just above Tuscarora. Tbe damage was not as great as might Have been expected, but the accident caused ' considerable trouble and loss. k The accident was due to tbe criminal act of some one who placed a ran upon the ' track. Several loose rails were alongside tbe track and one of these had been placed so as to project a. loot or more across the track. : Tbe obstruction was seen by engineer Marsnau oi tne mail train aod he slowed down his train Quickly as possible,' but was unable to avoid an accident. It was dueto the engineer's prompt action and sticking to his Dost tnai a amasxer was avoiaea. Tbe engine left the track and was fol lowed by oneor more of tbe eae and they bumped along on tne croestiesquite a distance. The engine was one of the new Baldwin locomotives, No. 16, lately added to the equipment of tbe road and was considerably damaged. " There was no one injured, although tbe shake up was considerable, especially to the engineer avmspoev. A relief train left here after tbe accident became known and returned about nine o'clock with the pasmpgers and mail and then proceeded on to Morebead City." A wrecking train was also sent to the scene and it was tbougnt tnat tne r aamaire would be repaired by morning.

One of the chief reasons for proposing a stock company Is tbe recent rapid Increase In all lines of the ' business. which necessitates . large additions to general equipment type, machinery, etc: also tocarry out plans for greatly extend in the bnsiness, which will make Kins ton the publishing center for all this sec tion of Eastern North Carolina, an ln dustry which will add greatly to tne im portance ot tbe town, give it a wide ad vertisement and high standing, which will contribute directly to the benefit of business and manufactures of the town and undoubtedly be the means of at tracting new industrial ventures.. ; In word the benefits that corns to the pub lishing house will benefit the town at large. ' ' With the' additional equipment the preferred stock will be secured by fully $10,000 worth of machinery, ; types, paper slock and miscellaneous articles composing the plant, to say 'nothing of the very considerable value of tbe , "good will" of an established and fairly profit' able business. 80, In asking our friends to take one or two shares of this preferred stock ws feel that we are offering them a go 3d, sals and profitable, investment lor a small sum. ' Of the proceeds of this preferred stock sufficient will' be retained to discount every purchase, aod the owner of the common stock (the present proprietor) will be In position to at any time redeem at par the stock of any stockholder who may become dissatisfied with the policy of the Daner. who needs bis money, or for any reason whatever wishes to dis pose of his stock therefore not only will the stock be a safe and profitable invest ment, but an asset upon which tbe owner can immediately realize the cash In an emergency. We think that we are offering onr friends (we wish subscriptions only from friends ot Tan Fhm Pbess) a very desir able small iuvestment from every point of view, ' Knowing tbe present stringency In money matters It has been decided to make payments upon this stock as ful lows on each $100 share: $25 cash upon organisation of the com pany and three notes due in 3, 6 and 9 months of $25.88 each, without Inter est This figures in tbs sams rate on the deferred payments that tbe stock will be earning for the stockholder. The proprietor has talked with a few of Kington's business men and knows that there will be no trouble in getting the desired amount of preferred stock sub scribed, but wishes It distributed In amounts not exceeding $200 to any sub scriber, and will appreciate voluntary subscriptions from onr business people. Thi Frkx Press has hosts of friends among tbe farmers ot Lenoir and sur rounding counties and would be pleased to have voluntary subscriptions for one share of preferred stock from any of . onr farmer friends who wish to make tbe In vestment. We do not Intend to sell this stock In larger amounts than $100 to anyone not a resident 01 Kinston, our purpoes being to have It, as far as possi ble, in the hands ot those who are, or ought to be, the largest patrons of Tex Fees. Pbkss, In the way of advertising and job printing. But we would like to have some of our successful farmers as stockholders, and ws feel that we ean recommend it to them aa ft sale Investment.

Information of Importance for ;.";.- Parents of Children. i "' The term within which the old public school books may be exchanged for the new kind expires the first of next July, State Superintendent Joy ner .has seat out a circular letter to the county super intendents urging them to give due pub licity to thejact. - As the superintendent of Lenoir county seems to be doing nothing In this line. Thi Fbbk Pbess uses that furnished by tbs superintendent of an other county In order to enable Its read ers to take advantage of the present exchange rate and avoid paying double, as the result of delay. The letter fol lows: ' . To County Superintendents . I enclose a printed list ot books adopted for nae in the public schools by tbs State Text Book Commission, and. of prices and exchange prices of tHese boots. I desire to call attention to the fact that the nee ot these books in the public schools will be compulsory, under tbe law, after Jnly 1, 1902, and that, It old books how In ne are not exchanged bNore that time, tbe exchange prices, according to the contract entered into with the publishers by the State text-book commission, can not be taken advantage of by patrons of the public schools. ; If the patrons of tbe public schools fail to avail themselves of thee low exchange prices before the beginning of the next school year they will find themselves under : the hard necessity ot being compelled to buy pew books at the full price, and their old books will be left as useless property on their hands. This would mean, of course, a great loss to the people of the nutate and a decided gain to the publishers, Any book that has been used or could have been used by any child In tbe public schools of North Carolina before July 1, 1902, may be exchanged for a new book of like grade upon the same subject tt the price quoted.

Is getting square for tho two fine weeks in tie first half of March April hasn't corns to bat yet. ; This Is to remind yon that next Thnrs day, April 17, Is to he "Governor's Day at LaGrange. Gov. Ayoock will make one of his notable speeches on education which should be heard by every citizen who can get within tearing distance. It Is said that there Is enough fock within a half mile of. Kinston to macadamize all the streets In town. Queen street audits sidewalks need attention badly. It would present a much better appearance If macadamised and tbe sidewalks nicely paved. Sooner or later this work will be absolutely necessary. Why not have It done now? . Let us progress all along the line. ' ' ' ' . It is said that there were m number of boys aboard tl e Hornet . bonnd . for Charleston who had never made a prayer until they thought the time bad come to fl od "lonely graves in the vasty deep," and that when they looked ont on the foamlntr waves, thsn up at the blue heav ens, and thought of home hers In old Kineton, tbey simply tell down on their knees like good boys and sent np pleas for delivery that seemed enough to melt a heart of stone. 1 .

What is Lenoir's superintendent of In struction doing about . the Important matter of the exchange of school books? We have beard nothing from him on the subject, but other county superintend ents are calling u pon their local papers to Impress upon the people that tbex change Is compulsory and unless made before July 1, will bs expenslvs to the parents ot school children. Tan Fbeb Pbess clipped the first general circular from an exchange in order to give its readers warning and today tbe second circular la borrowed from anothercounty superintendent for the same purpose. A list of the books Is attached and it will be seen 50 per cent, can be saved by ex change within the time limit This is not a story lor cursory reading and care less passing by. , The m ttter must be at- tended to by every person having Chil-' dren in the public schools aud they ' will find It profitable to take advantage of the rates which stand until July 1- , ; . ; , The county superintendent might also do his constituent! good service by work ing up a sentimei for one of thus edu cational conferences. Otber countimi are calling for them all overtheState. Surely Lenoir should not be behind in educational matters. Herein lies the foundation for future growth and progress. THIS IS XOBTH CAROLINA DAT.
