STREET.
-MjTate hai Just received,
communication from the North
Carolina Public Service, . Co.,
through its Chief Engineer and
Vice-President Mr., J. P. Clark,
stating that after going over the
matter carefully and viewing the
proposition from all' Standpoints,
they have decided that it would
not be practical at this time to
build the extension on English
street other than starting at the
intersection of English and
North Main and going straight
cui to the end of the line.
The mayor a been making an
effort for the past two. weeks to
have the line located, so as to
avoid the first three blocks on
English street on account of same
being so very narrow, but it
seems that the Public Service
Co. are not willing to change
their plans.
The matter will be taken up
before the City Council at its
meeting next Monday afternoon
at 2.30 and if any citizens along
the street feel interested and
have any protest to make, it will
be well for them to be on "hand
and ex-press themselves at that
time.

Lrie, I'a., June 30. A fast mail
and passenger train on the Phila
delphia and Erie Railroad was
held up tonight live miles from
this city by a band of a dozen
masked men. The mail and ex
press cars were rilled, and three
of the crew C. II. Block, of Erie,
mail clerk; II. I). Rxncy, of
Erie, conductor, and C. E.Hemiss,

a as shot 111 the right side and

condition. Kooney received se
rious injuries when he was hit
with a stone thrown by one of the
robbers, liemiss was shot in the
arm.
The train was due in this city
at 10.10 o'clock tonight. A few
minutes before 10 o'clock, when
the train was making a large
curve, the engineer saw an ob
struction ahead. He stopped the
Main with all possible speed, but
not before it crashed into the
ties and telegrapli poles that had
been placed across the track.
W hen the train hit the ob
struction it first was believed by
the passengers that there had
Seen .1 collision with another
train. The next moment the
ciack of revolvers acquainted
them with the real cause of the
train's stopping. As the train
came to a standstill several of
the passenger alighted to ascer
tain the trouble. Their presence
drew the fire of the band of
masked men, and there was a
stampede to re-enter the cars.

A SUGGESTION
WHY NOT ADVERTISE
HIGH POINT AS THE
MANCHESTER OF
THE SOUTH
Says the Durham Sur
The Durham Elks, who leave
for Atlantic City Sunday a week
to attend the annual convention,
will advertise Durham to the four
corners of the country. The F.Iks
have designed a most novel ad
vertising scheme thaf promises
to attract a large amount of at
tention. Each member of the
Durham lodge who go.s to At
lantic City will take alxmt 100
beautiful gold badges for distri
bution and exchange with the
members of the lodges from oth
er sections of the country. The
badge is surmounted with a mag
nificent bull over the regular Flk
insignia, with the name of the
lodge and the city. The whole
badge is of old gold, and is a
beautiful example of the jewel
er's art. The distribution 01 these
novel badges will advertise Dur
ham in all parts of the country
in a most lasting and impressive
manner.
With a iew to pioclaiming
High Point the Furniture City or
the manchester of the South, it
would not be a bad idea ii our
local lodge would arrange with a
view to designing some means of
getting High Point to the front
at Atlantic City.

An Explanation
In the recent termination of
the suit for the recovery of the
Ouaker Woods property institut
ed by the late Dr. W . O. Jones,
rcfcience to which was made in
the Enterprise, we are advised
upon good authority that the suit
was dropped owing to the death
of Dr. Jones, who was the only
witness possessed at the time of
an accurate knowledge of the
facts and circumstances, and up
on which the merits of his claim
was based, and further than it
was agreed in the Superior court
that if the Supreme court ruled
favorably upon the validity of Dr.
Jones' testimony, it would have
been very favorable to the settle
ment of the controversy and to
wards a favorable settlement of
it in his behalf.
(The Enterprise makes this
statement in justice to all parties
concerned.)

Senator Cummins to tlx next
Thursday for a vote on his
amendment, which provide for
tile tire entry of practically every

AUTO ACCIDENT !
The Greensboro N'e vs says:
Mrs. Charles Rober-011 and Mr
and Mis. W. II. aught received
serious ami exceedingly painful
injuries late last night, when an
automobile in which they were
riding skidded in turning a
curve six miles out on the Reids
ville road. Moidecai Hubbard,
their chauffeur, escaped unhurt
and bv a splendid display of pluck
lighted his ear and brought I11
miuied passengers to St I .eo'
h' .spitjil.
I I ubbard sa s he w a- driv iug
about miles an hour and that
111 mining a curve bis rear wheels
skidded and the tire from one
was torn loose. The car swerved
sharply and to avoid a telegrapli
post he threw all his power
against the steering wheel. By
the sharp swerve Mrs. Roberson
and Mr. and Mrs. Yaught, who
were seated in the tonrcau, were
thrown to the ground. Hubbard
say s he stopped the car in an in
stant and that rushing back to
whee the injured Uy in a heap
he found all unconscious. The
car was not damaged bevond the
loss of a tire and door and he
lifted the wounded into the ton
ueau and made a reckless drive
to the hospital. Before arrival
there Mr. Yaught and Mrs. Rob
erson had recovered conscious
ness. Mrs. Yaught recovering
shortly afterwards.
Dr. Roberson was immediately
notified and he with Drs. Long.
I odson and W illiams hastened
to the hospital. A hurried exam
ination showed that none of the
wounds were of a fatal nature,
though all were sutTering intense
ly. Mrs. Roberson has a bad
wound just over the eye and oth
er cuts of a less serious nature.
Mrs. Vaught's face was badly
cut and she also had an ugly
knee wound. Mr. y.-H,ght js M,f.
fering mostly from a deep and
rough snag in his leg. He was
also bruised aloiit the face and
arms. All. too. were suffering
from the great shock.
The party had gone out in Dr.
Roberson's car and were return
ing home about 11 o'clock when
the accident occurred. The re
port of the accident was spread
on the street shortly afterwards
and naturally it created consid
erable excitement, the first rumor
being that Mrs. Roberson 'was
killed and that Mr. and Mrs.
Yaught were fatally hurt. Inves
tigation soon showed these ru
mors to be groundless, however,
and it is said by the physicians
in attendance that all should re
cover within a short time
Greensboro News.
large amount the arbitrary limit
which the railroad companies fix
on it. As long as the railroad
companies contarct to deliver the
baggage of passengers, and ac
cept liability for it, they should
be responsible for the full value.
While nominally baggage is
transported free up to a certain
amount for each passenger, ac
tually the cost of transporting
baggage and assuming responsi
bility fur it is included in the price
of passage; hence the railroad
companies cannot avoid liabiltiy
on the plea of rendering a free
service.
There ought to be another de
cision somewhat akin to the one
we have spoken of--a decision
fixing responsibility on some one
for the damage done by the "bag
gage smashers" those who take
a fiendish delight in abusing
every trunk that comes their
way. The reckless manner in
which baggage is handled has
caused much loss. There is no
excuse for this rough handling.
Trunks can be handled without
damaging them. Such damage
ought to be paid for.
To be perfectly fair, however,
k wonlt! sapm that the owners of
trunks that are lost should be
required to establish the value of
their contents, so that the juries
might rendre true verdicts.

This decision is welcome to

jurisdictions will follow the New
