When I am ready to give up
life, and the wound that time
cannot heal opens af resh, these
sympathizing letters make me
stronger. I bathe them in my
tears and thank God tht Htv
spared me to know and realize
that 1 have many precious
friends. j
Before I was 17, I was pro
moted to an engine, and have
given all the best years of my
life in the service of the road.
For twenty-six years I have
held the throttle faithful lv on
the Western road. In its dark
est days, when it had neither
money nor credit, and failure
seem ed inevitable I served in
every capacity I could for the
interest of the road. My heart
was in my work, and I was de
voted to it, though sometimes
I could not draw my money in
six months.
Under the skillful manage
ment of that grand, noble man,
Col. Tate, it could not fail, and
his patience, perseverence and
self-sacrifice were an inspira
tion to me. When his mantle
fell on Maj. Smith, he soon
won the love arid confidence of
his men and shared with us in
beariag the burden in the dark
est days. I next served Maj.
Wilson, that genial, whole-
souled gentleman, whose warm
heart still beats in unison and
sympathy with: mine. To me
he was not only my superior
officer, but a tru!e, warm friend,
in whom I coiild confide and
whom I could love like a broth
er. Col. McBee and Col. An
drews were kind, dear friends.
When they came we were hav-
ing brighter days. The memory
of all these dear friends are
stamped indelibly on my mind.
I love to revert ito them as my
officers and personal friends
They have passed and left me
at my post, and:' at last to tell
the tale of disaster. All these
years many times I suffered
from heat, cold hunger and ex
haustion, and tliey never heard
me complain, neither did they
say: I disobeyed ordeis. But
the j pitcher went to the well
one time too many. r
I received orders, read them
wrong, for wees without rest
or sleep, and hurried on. I
made the great rnistake which
has! saddened my life, and
grieved and broken the ; hearts
of otners- f "
- While'- my physical pain is
enough to endure, my mental
suffering is worse..
If by? life work is to end here,
my liast record has no blot. In
all these years I have stood the
wear and tear better than my
machinery. I have had new
engines, while Ilknew no rest,
never cost the i road anything
La t Day of Cotrt.
Today will wind up the Nov
ember term of Rowan's superior
court and the work before it is
not near finished. The trrand

There was an accident at the new
Southern shops last night hich may
cost Honry Mori ison, a young color
ed man, his lite.
Morrison is a b uhr cleaner and
was at his work last niht between
11 and ,12 o'clock. As is uMiallv
th case in work of this nature there
I is considerable walking around the
yard involved.
Morrison says that he had been
walking backward and forward
across the tracks, unmindful of the
engines pulling in and out, w hen he
was iuddenljT caught by an engine
with his leije across the track. -
His right leg was cut off just above
the aukle and his left hip was crush-
1 and badly torn.
A soon as possible, Morrison was
brought up to the deoot and his
wounds dressed.
He was then removed to his home
near the freight denot.
Drs. Whitehead and McKcj zie
are attending the wounded man, and
while there are more chances for his
recovery than was at first supposed,
his condition is' still precarious.
The .Davidson Medical School, as
noted in yesterdayV Wosi T, played
the Salisbury boys yesterilay afttr
noon and a hotly 'contested game it
wa. from start to lini!i.
It was .the :' .first mrjtch game the r
Salisburv boys have p!.js l this year
and they acquitted themselves mt
creditably.
Everything passed off pleasantly
until at the last moment a dispute
arose as to an offide and the result
of the game hung lire. The David
son boys, ' ho ever, extended Salis
bury an invitation to play at David-
son College Monday and it is prob
able that our boys will accept. .
The "Meds" played clean ball a ?d
Salisbury would welcome them back
for another game. - -
About 500 people witnessed the
game yesterday.
