(Speeial to The Times) Apex, June 12 Our citizens were shocked this morning to learn that Mr. Graham Herring bad been protv ably fatally injured at New Hill, . about six miles from here, while at tempting to swing onto a passing freight train. Mr. Herring has been night operator at New Hill, and it was his custom to spend every day here with his adopted parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Burns. This morn ing, when he was relieved from duty ho decided he would not wait for the passenger train, but would catch a freight and ride in, which would give him several hours longer at home. The train was running at a speed of about 25 miles an hour, and in attempting to swing a car he missed his footing and fell under the wheels. His right foot was cut off at the ankle, his head bruised and cnt, and there were Injuries all over the body. The ' young man was brought here on the train and phy sicians were summoned. A hasty ex amination indicated that the Injuries are likely to prove fatal, and he was put back on the train and taken to Jtex Hospital. ' . ' Mr. Herring is IS years ojd, and Is one of our most popular young men. It's a. mijrhtjr- powerful conscience that can bother a man as long as he keeps a good appetite. n ' HOME STREET SELL Telephone 157 r New Enterprises.

Convict 'Camp Sent to Work In Cotton Field Law Strict as to Working of County Convicts and States Emphatically That They Shall be Worked Con stantly on Roads and Highways (j'ost of S3 Per Week. Wake county awaked this morning to find that their board of commis sioners had once more pulled off one of the greatest deals ever witnessed A few weeks ago when the convicts were brought to the city and worked Coxe Alley and that followed within a few days by carrying them out to Mar it's Creek to make a graveyard. the people thought it was strange procedure for the .commissioners, but lo! the news has now reached the city that Lee's Camp, entire outfit, is today chopping cotton at the Coun ty Home, Now this camp has six teen convicts, ' four guards, eight mules and necessary machinery for road work aud everything is idle while Overseer Lee, at the command of the commissioners, is working Mr. .Gulley's cotton, even after they refused to pay him $12.00 spent for medicine on the inmates of the Coun ty Home. This piece of work is costing the county tax payers the sum of $133 per week, divided as follows: Board lor eight mules. $35; convicts, $63; Lee, supervisor, $10; guards, $25 While there are sixteen men in this camp, only thirteen are actually at work as one is laid up with a broken leg, one is used for a cook and an other for a washer. The county could easily hire thirty negroes at seventy-five cents a day to do the work; and let the road force continue the work set for them by law. Be sides this, they had begun to put in passable condition Lassister's bridge over Crabtree Creek and had worked there about two weeks, but the bridge remains unfinished. A leading attorney of the city was asked today for his opinion on this matter and he said that besides the extreme cost to the county, which is utterly unnecessary, it is strictly against the law. Section 5, of the "Act to improve the public roads of Wake county, reads as follows: That all prisoners confined in the county jail of Wake county under final sentence of the court for crimes. for imprisonment for nonpayment of costs or fines, or under final Judg ment in case of bastardy, or under the vagrant acts, all insolvents who shall be imprisoned by any court in said county for nonpayment of costs and all persons sentenced in said county to the state's prison from said county for a term of less than ten years shall be worked on the high ways of the county. Again, Section 11, of the same act That the convicts shall be kept constantly at work upon the high ways set apart by the board of coun ty commissioners, under the direC' tion and control of the superintend' cnt of roads and his assistants, and shall as far as practicable work upon the leading highways; and In per forming said work the superintend ent shall consider those highways leading to and from the city of Ral eigh as the main and leading high ways, as far as practicable. It is seen that shall is used exclus ively, and not may, in both of these sections. That the work was ordered by the commissioners is seen by the follow ing item taken from the minutes of the board, passed last Tuesday: Mr. Gulley appeared before the board and asked for help in working the cotton at the County Home and the following was passed: On motion it was brdered " that Lee's Camp be moved to the county farm tomorrow to chop cotton. The entire board voting aye. There is no penalty attached to the violation of this act, but the strict construction placed upon it by everyone is that the convicts must work only upon the highways of Wake county, and this is' the only board that has ever taken the coun ty convicts to work in the cotton fleld. The mules and machinery are Idle, while every section of the coun ty is asking for road work. Last Tuesday the order above was issued by the board, and so the de cree was forthwith issued that they go at once, and Wednesday morning found them at work. Now at this same session the board took up the McCullers' affair and at tempted to save the county's taxes by fixing the salary of the county health officer at $600 per year with ell kinds of restrictions and fines, and would have made It $400, hut for the voice of Mr. Brewer, who fought the reduction stubbornly Upon the heels of that they are now spending just $133 per week, when the roads that are in such bad condition in some parts of the coun ty ought to have the convicts and machinery on them Instead of in Mr. Guile; cotton fields. "The tax pay- era of the county often wonder what becomes of the money derived", from their taxes, and n close inspection of the minutes of the board of commit sioners might open their eyes to some startling facts. Other superintend jcnts of the County Home have felt the need the these convicts on tha same farm and have asked for them but were always told that it wa3 strictly forbidden, but this present board overrides . precedents and everything, including the law, and has sent them out. FACED DEATH HUNTING TREES, Boston Scientist Tells of Strange Ad venture in Foreign Lands Seeking New Plants. Boston, Mass., June 12 Some time E. H. Wilson may publish a book with some such title as ,"The- "Adventures of a Tree Hunter." Pro nounced by the director of the Ar nold Arboretum. Professor Charles S. Sargent, to be'the ablest collector of trees and shrubs perhaps in the world, Mr, Wilson has spent eleven years roaming far lamia in quest of strange and useful species for the enrichment of commerce and the landscape beauty of the United States. - Four times he has headed expedi tions to China, two of them for the benefit of the tree museum of Har vard I'niversity, and when he ended his last trip recently he had the novel experience of going at. once to a Bos ton hospital for two weeks that the leg which was shattered by a land slide in the interior of China might pet belated treatment. That was the narrowest escape he had ever had. It happened when, with his faithful Chinese employes, he was headed for the coast after months of work on the plateaus adja cent to Thibet. They were descend ing the Min Valley. It was a narrow mule track they were following, wall ed on either hand by steep mountain sides. Mr. Wilson was riding in a sedan chair when small pebbles began to pelt its room. - He looked out and leaped clear just in time. A great rock smashed the chair to fragments He saw another coming which he managed to dodge. Then a third came, which he did not see. This was smaller, but large enough to be dangerous. Its jagged edges cut his pigskin puttees to shreds and broke both bones of one leg about, a foot above the ankle. It was a bad situation. His men dragged him under the lee of an overhanging ledge until the ava lanche was over. Then under his di rection they, were seeking means of getting him to a doctor when they discovered that just in the rear had been coming a mule train. It was im possible for the train to turn back, for the faling rock had bocked the trail and the path was so narrow that it was dlfflcut to pass the explorer's party and gear. Mr. Wilson himself could hardly move. They solved the problem by stretching the explorer flat on his back across the trail. Then the forty-five loaded mules walked over him. He says now with a smile that there were some ticklish moments while he lay looking up at those beasts reaching their hoofs across his body,- '.' . Mr. Wilson was carried three days lo the home of a missionary physi cian, where he was treated. It was weeks before he was able to resume his journey. Only when be got to Boston, having circumnavigated the globe for the second time, was he able to have the expert attention he had long needed. . He walks now with a cane and a limp and, smiling, says, "It's all in the game, of course." Mr. Wilson has fought the rapids rf the Yagtze, and by hardest work saved not only a boat and a crew but a cargo of precious spoil from going to destruction. He was in China when the Empress Dowager died, and showed then, as always, the qualities of quiet tactfulness which have enabled him to get along with out trouble with the natives. He has climbed some of the sacred moun tains, of China and explored heights never before seen by white men. CHICAGO MEN SUMMONED. To Testify Before the Committee In vestigating the Lortmer Case.
