Lee Wilkinson, a young white man employed by the Carolina Coast Line Company as engineer on their gas boat, the Little Jim, was painfully injured yesterday afternoon several miles above New Bern by being caught in the shafting of the engine. The boat was returning from a trip tpTrent river where it had been to secure a cargo of lime, and while attending to his engine Mr. Wilkinson in some way allowed his clothing to become caught in the shafting and in a second r two, parts of his garments had been torn from his body and the flesh cr, his legs badly lasceatcd. The injured man's cries brorght as sistance and the engine was brought to a stop and he was extricated. lie was 'so badly hurt that he was iinahlc to attend to the engine drring the remainder of the trip and as the other members of the crew were unfamilar with the operation of this they were unable to get it started. However they managed to get the boat ashore at Haywood's Creek, about seven n iios from the city, and from thai point one of the men walked to this city and secured the services of J. R. Pope and his boat, the Unceda. to go to that point, and tow the Little Jim into port. The boat was brought here last night shortly after 7 o'clock and the injured man was at once give" medical attention. It was found that his wounds were very painful but are not though; to be serious. Mr. Wilkinson came to New Bern several months ago from Polloksvillc. After the vessel had been tied up at the dock of the Norfolk Southern Railway Company's Trent river wars hiuse where the cargo was to have been unloaded, the pumps were put in a:.io;i and what little water that had collee'ed in the hold was pumped out and every thine on board was presumuaty in ship-shape. A short time later Captain H -rt Harrison, who was in charge of the boat, noticed that she was filling with water and upon making an investi gation found that a large hole had been knocked in the side, presumably being done while the vessel was being warped into the dock. By working quickly he managed to get some of the furnish ings of the cabin on the dock before the vessel sank to the bottom of the river in about eight feet of water. There was several tons of agricultural lime on the boat in addition to the engines and furnishings and it will take considerable work to raise her but an attempt wi 1 be pa do tods t hi . tomorrow mor.iing. The lime will.b; injured but I ttle by staying in th? water for th:s length of lime but it will be necesstry to make numerous repairs on the boat before it will be in condition for operation again, The Charles Dickens Train." A friend of mine who was connected with the London and Northwestern railway for over forty years was trnv ling to London on the "Charles Dick ens" train. Before starting he strilled up the platform as usual to have a foolt at the engine. "Well, driver," he said, "how much of the original engine have you there today?"

Preparations are being made to hold a farewell service in the trid church on Sunday night, March 4- It is probable that a rural free' dc liverv mail route will soon be establish ed from this point. The proposed1 route will follow thc county road to Trent, thence to Pamlico and thence by the Orchard Creek road back to Oriental. The route is about twenty- two miles long and will pay about one thousand dollars a year to thc carrier.. If it is established the star route to Pamlico will be abolished but it will not affect the Pamlico postoffice, the mail being taken only from Oriental rather than from Mcrritt as is now the case. Mrs. Annie E. Carmine, the widow of the late Thomas H. Carmine, has presented the new Methodist cTrirrth at this place with a large bell as a mem mortal to her husband who in years past was an earnest worker in the church and who was held in high esteem bythe citizens of the town. The bell has been received and placed in position. A. S. Aldridge is rapidly recovering from a severe illness and is able to be out again. The members of the Disciple church at Arapahoe are erecting a new house of worship. The building will be thirty six feet wide and fifty-six feet long and will cost about twenty-five hundred dollars. HI Pamlico is soon to be incorporated as a result of thc efforts made by some of the enterprising citizens of that little town. Already the place haa take on new life and bids fair to be one of the best towns in the county. FRIGHTENED AT THE STOCK LAW MAJORITY OF CARTERET FAR MERS PROBABLY ARE AGAINST IT.

The greatest problem confronting the farmers of this section is the im pending danger of the fence law, ' or better known as the no stock law: The majority of the poeple hope that the Legislature will not enact such a law against the people of this State. Such a law would ruin the farmers of Cart eret county as not ore than five per cent, of the land is learcd and fie cattle could not graze in the marshes where thcrec is nothing but weed. 1 Thc majority of the people in th's section are farmers and nave been making good use of the fine weather Which has recently prevailed prepar ing their lands for another crop.
