Treatment. ROCKY MOUNT, N. C, Oec. 23. ' (By Associated Press) Fifteen pas-1 eengers -were injured, ' two seriously enough to be brought here for .- hos pital attention, early this morning when eight cars,' including four sleep ers, two day coaches, a diner, bag gage car av.d thS engine and tender of Atlantic Coast Line Train "No. 82, running between, Jacksonville and ' New, York, was - derailed one ,milo south of Lucama. . . - : : . The; two injured were brought to the Coast Line Hospital here for at tention were Mrs. F. .L. ""Glass,, of Laurel, MiEs., who is said to be suf fering -from a - strained back, " and Mamie V Riddles, ;negro, of Raeford, N. C, who is - reported ' to be suffer ing largely, .travel.- nervous shock. The others -who were,, -ihjurtd..v. received first aid treatment ; from; physicians at Lucama1) and were' able, to continue theirtrip northward as. passengers on Train No. 86. : ; .;. . ' In railroad, circles here the fact that no one on the crowded train, which is estimated to- have been car- rying - a holiday ? throng of s at least 2g0 passengers, was seriously injur ed - is almost miraculous. .An official investigation of the wjreck has been rtarted. It was stated ; this morning that "the wreck was .caused by, a broken rail. ' ' "-" VV ';, , . The wreck took place this , morn ing at 2:30, the traih" being in charge ct Conductor Stevenson. It was trav eling at a speed -of about 40, miles in . hour: when it left the rails. The day coaches, railroad . officials say; turned over, . hit an embankment and then bounded back clear-of the track. The fact that these were 'steel cars . is thought to have been, responsible for the escape : of 'the passengers. As the derailed cars fell on the ; opposide side of ; the southbound track, traffic on the southbound track was not in terrupted. Northbound trains are be ing detoured by way of the south bound distance past the wreck. Dog Went Ma4 In Pink Hill And 'Bit Number of Persons KINSTON, Dec. 23.

The pomp and ceremon? attending the open ing of Parliament probbaly at tracts more attention in the House of Lords than do the words of the Kings speech, but 'the last a'ddress from " George V, delivered a fe'w ,dayB ago, contained no interpola tion such as was once made fn a speech from the throne by George IV. It is asserted that when, he was regent, George IV made a Det with ,Richard Sheridan, the dramatist,, that so- little attention would be paid to the reading of his speech that he could interpolate any non sense he liked ; without- anyone showing surprise. -.: ; , f - ' ; The bet was accepted; The Re gent paused in" the course of the address and said distinctly "Baa, baa, black sheep," and then went on.

Only the Profiteers Can Scrape Together Enough Money To Ride In Them MOSCOW, Dec. 23. (By Associat ed Press) Automobile taxicabs op erated by private owners have ap peared in Moscow, but the tariff is so high that on several occasions the government has issued warnings to the public to beware of extortion. The street cars, about the cheapest thing in Moscow-, are always crowded to such- an extent that foreign visit 's never consider riding in them. T..e carfare is now 500,000 Soviet rubles, or about two cents. The four wheeled drosky, drawn by one or two horses, which never ceas ed operation even during the revolu tion, and the sleigh when snow is on the ground, continues to be the most popular vay of getting about the city. The drosky drivers insist upon a fare about fifteen times more than the stret car charge. The taxicabs are patronized chiefly by speculator who are interested in daily transac tions of billions or trillions of rubles, and who care little about what they spend. , Many a girl has her hair marcelled on Saturday so that she will look nice over the week-rd.

A man who did not want a tip caused incipient riot in Paris recently. Pie was the owner of a taxi motor-cab, and thought 'he could operate his own property as he saw flU So he placed on his vehicle. a sign reading -"I own this taxi, and I accept ho tips. . . The ruction was caused, not by a rushVof customers, but by the an ger of fellow , taxi-drivers. "What does this upstart mean?" asked one, clmbing down from his seat and hur rying ' toward the revolutionary car with threatening vigor. "Renegade" cried oiher chauffeurs from the cab stand, i Epithet followed epithet, and meanwhile the crowd grew after the fashion of street crowds in Paris, with the customary baker's boy, butcher's boy, and flock of "Midinettes." When the crowd had grown to impressive proportions the owner of the taxi said to hi3 colleagues: "You don't ap pear to like this announcement." There was a loud chorus of "No." With no backing from possible cus tomers, the audacious taxi proprietor decided to capitulate.. So he took down his sign: the crowd melted, and the tipping system was saved. TIME TO PAY YOUR SUBSCRIPTION Last summer when things were dull and money was scarce, we put a notice in the paper that we were going to carry every one not then able to pay their ' subscription until the Fall season. That season has come and gone and a larg number of them have not come in and' settled up, so we are again calling their attention to their delinquency and beg of them to' pay up now as we need the money. We hate to do it, but we cannot carry these on our books after the first of January, who are as much as three months in arrears, unless they call in and make some arrangements with us about carrying them. White paper is higher now than it was six months ago and we cannot continue to send papers out and not collect for them.
