With the tiara for planting less than a month away, termers of Mecklen burg have practically done nothing In the way af making preparations. The exceedingly tad and continuously wet weather has kept activities down. There baa not been an opportunity to a furrow since last fall and as a result of tMs condition, the farmers count themselves far behind. It has frequently occurred In the annals of farming la this country that tho farm ers have been ready for planting at this period of the year. THREE DIE IN COLLISION Atlantic Coast Lino Pimngir Train Demolishes Yard Engine ct Wil mington—Number Hurt. Wilmington. One of the worst wrecks in the history of Wilmington occurred when the Atlantic Coast Line passenger train No. 62 from San ford collided head-on with a yard ei& glne Just as It was about to enter the city limits, instantly killing Yard Foreman H. B. Goodnight, who waa on the yard engine, Engineer Walter M. Williams and Fireman Borden Branch of the passenger train, all white and residents of Wilmington. .Up to a late hour none of the offi cials of the road was able to give any theory as to how the yreck occurred and it is not thought that It can bo determined until an Investigation can be made. Engineer Thompson, in charge of the yard engine, and his colored fireman escaped by Jumping from the engine. The two engines were partly telescoped and the tender on the passenger train was literally demolished, being torn into shreds and thrown on top of the engine in front of It. None of the passengers were seriously hurt but several received painful cuts and bruises and suffered considerably from shock. Probably the most seriously injured was Joseph W. Ruark, Esq., mayor of Sanford. who received a deep cut in the forehead and painful bruises about the hip and arm. Ho was standing up in a coach at the time of the coi lislpn and was knocked to the floor, being rendered unconscious, but was soon revived. He was taken to the home of his brother, Itobert Ruark, Esq., In this city. He was accom panied by his wife and her sister, Mlbb May Cross, but neither of the ladles were hurt. Mr. J. H. Mallard, a trav eling man, had his back wrenched and left arm bruised and sprained. Like Mr. Ruark, he had to go to bed. Negro Imprisoned For 14 Days. Imprisoned 14 days, without food or water in a freight car, In which he had endeavored to beat his way from Cin cinnati to Charlotte, George Johnson was found in a semi-conscious condi tion, frozen stiff, when the car arriv ed at Charlotte. His condition has excited the Interest of medical experts, and every effort is being made to re vive tho flickering spark of life. John son, who is a native of the village of Mount Holly, near here, left home sev eral years ago to seek a home in the West. The car was locked and sealed and his presence was not discovered until the car was opened here 14 days after It was pulled out of Cincinnati. Subscribe to the Capital Stock. At the March meeting of the board Of cnunty comi« l '» o l o,,ur "> niiest!"" of subscribing to the capital stock of the Randolph & Cumberland Railroad was ordered submitted to the voters in five of the -Randolph county town ships as follows: Brower township, 110,000; Grant township. $10,000; Asheboro township, $40,000; Randle man township, $30,000; New Market township, SIO,OOO. The petitions, in answer to which the elections wero ordered, wero very generally signed by leading citizens and taxpayers, in ono township by as many as 118 signers. Tho elections are to be held Mouday, April 8. Are Hot After Blind Tigers. The police of Wilson aro Indeed n "live" bunch and there's no doubt about It —they have the blind tigers' wires so badly crossed that the var mints fear that at any moment the "current" of the law will be turned in on them. They are wise to the fact that It is no "Boogie Man" story, for at every sitting of Mayor court for the past two weeks one or more have been convicted —some who are now doing time; others who have appealed from judgements. Run Over By Shifting Engine. A. L. Whltener, a young white marf of Hickory, was seriously though not fatally injured on the Spencer yards by being run over by a shifting train. One arm and one foot were badly crushed and a slight injury was sus tained in the faco when knocked down by the car. He was taken to the Whitehead-Stokes sanatorium in Sal isbury for an operation. Whltener wass a brakeman between Spencer and Asheville. A Political Battle Expected. Tf the number of candidates deter mines the character of the campaign, the people of Mecklenburg can feel reasonably certain that a battle of vast proportions Is approaching in naming tho next legislative ticket from MecMenburg. Even so early as this, there are more than twice as many candidate as there are offices, and there is no'way by which so large and BO important a county as Mecklenburg can have more than three Representa tives in the House and one in the j Senate. Mistrial In Leonard Case. A mistrial was ordered In the case against Robert Leonard of Thomaß ville, in which he Is charged with the ! murder of his cousin, Charles Ever hardt, also of Thomasville. ,The Jury reported in the court house at the or i der of Judge Ferguson and stated that , It was impossible to ogree on a ver i diet, and Judge Ferguson proceeded to > order a mistrial. The members of the ' Jury stood five for murder in the sec - ond degree and Beven for acquittal. They had been wrestliug with the case a«reral days. ■>-1 .■' ' ~ TO IKE PUT WAKE EDUCATION BOARD ENAB LING TEACHERS TO ATTEND CUMMER SCHOOLB. W•' m > INSTITUTE IS UNNECESSARY The Annual increase Is In Considera tion of Teachers Pursuing Course of Training—More Good Derived Froir Summer School Than Institute. Raleigh.—The Wake County Board of Education Is taking hold of the question of the professional training of the public school teachers in a very definite and systematic way. For two years It has been paying an Increase of 95.00 per month, and SIO.OO annu ally, to all teachers of primary gradeß (grades one to three) in consideration of their pursuing a course of training for a full session, of not less than six weeks, at some approved summer school. Teachers of all other grades have been given an annual increase of 910.00 to aid in paying their expenses at summer schools. For the ensuing year-the increase will be 915-00. The discrimination In favor of the primary teacher Is due to the fact that she has hitherto been the most poorly paid of all teachers, and, further, to the fact that the board wishes to em phasise the importance of efficiency in these grades. At its recent meeting the Board of Education and the superintendent con ferred as to the relative merits of the j two-weeks' county teachers' Institute and the regular summer session of an approved school. It was unani mous opinion that, while much good can be derived from the institutes, the work of the summer Bchool, If proper- ; ly pursued, will mean infinitely more good to the teacher. It was, also, the unanimous opinion that no better übo can be made of a reasonable amount of the public school funds than to increase the sal aries of wide-awake, progressive teachers, so that they muy pursue courses of Instruction.

The careful mother, watch in* close ly the physical peculiarities of her children, 8008 learns that health is in a great measure dependent upon nor mal, healthy, regular bowel action. When the bowels are inactlre, loss of appetite, restlessness during sleep. Ir ritability and a dozen and one similar evidences of physical disorder are soon apparent. Keep the bowels free and clear and good health is assured. At the first sign of constipation give the child a teaipoonful of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at bed-time and repeat the dose the following night, if accessary. You will find the child will quickly re cover its accustomed good spirits, and eat and sleep normally. Dr. Caldwell's Syrap Pepsin is far preferable to salts, cathartics and purgative waters which are harsh in their actlodS Syrup Pepsin acts on the bbwels easily and naturally, yet positively, and causes no griping or dlscomfoit Its tonic properties build op the stomach, liver and bowels, re storing their normal condition. Druggists everywhere sell Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin in Wo and SI.OO bottles. If you have never tried thla remedy, send for a sample to Dr. W. D. Caldwell, 201 Washington St, Mon tlcello, 111. He will gladly send a trial bottle without any expense to you whatever. Humorous Thrust. "How—" The savage chief held a glittering spear near the captive missionary. " —do you like this?" His tone was not facetious, but the captive was undismayed. "Well, If you ask me—" He glanced at the weapon, the pro pinquity of which was not comforting. " —it goes against my stomach!" Unfortunately, however, the cap tive was in a locality where there Is no market for humor, and the end came soon. AS A RKMF.DY FOR MALARIA i In any form Kllalr Kabek has no euual.
