Tell From Third
Federal Building But Probab-
ly
Will
John Vernon BoReway, who
lives at 537 Ferguson Avenue,
Norfolk, and gives his age at 24
iyears, was painfully and perhaps
-seriously injured yesterday morn
ing by a fall from the third story
of the Federal buiMing to the
tiled floor of the Post office lob
by. That the fall did not prove
immediately fatal seems a mira-
cle.
Halloway is a painter and was
painting the ceiling of the third
floor of the post office building.
On the last landing of the stair
way leading up to the third floor
he had placed his step ladder on
a narrow platform. lie was
standing on the step ladder
workingl'when the accident oc
curred .
IlolloWay claims that the lad
der under him gave way . He
thinks that the support which
prevents tie laddey'..legs from
- parting broke!. At --any rate he
! lost his balance and fell, striking
the staircase banister below on
xjs back a sd from there dropping
to the floor belowy a distance of
over forty feet.
Unless there are internal jnju
ries or some unforseeu complica
.tiibn Holloway will recover.
when a pnysicitn hastily summon
d reached him he was conscious
and there was no blood to speak
of about aim except from an abra
ion on one elbow. His face,
tody,nd arms, however, are bad
ly bruised and every bone iff hi
left ankle is broken. Holloway
, supposes that H struck the floor
on hl left loot and aide.
The injured man 'is boarding at
212 West Fearing street. Inter
viewed yesterday by an Advance
reporter, be talked coherently
and gave missing details of the
.accident. He complained how
ver, of pain, especially in hip
back and insisted that that was
where he was most seriously hurt
"The examining physicians, howh
ver, founjd no extraordinary ev
idence of injury there.
Dr. Walker was first to render
.medical attention to Mr. Hallo-
way. The young man was taken
to hit boarding place and an an esthetic
was given while he was
being examined and having his
ankle set. Dr. Z. Fearing assist
5d Dr. Walker.
This la the second accident that
has occurred recently to workmen
on thin building. A few months
ago a young, man fell from the
roof to the stone pavement, escap
ing with bis life and is today
well. .

And the Erection of Ade
quate School Building
Now Assured
Manteo Df.. C, July 29th
TurmoiL strife and fist fights
have nsued in the' town of Man
tec durini? tbis week. The mat
ter arousing so much attention
was the Bond Election for the
building of a new school house.
Friends of the measure were grat
ifled to know that it was carried
by a majority of seyentyHtwo to
thirtyjeight. Out tff the one hun
tired and twenty registered, ten
voters failed to vote. These
were counted against the issue,
leaving a majority of twenty four.

features and illustrated his talk
by the use of a black-board.
The opposition was represent
ed by W. S. Bailey. While Mr
Bailey sufid that he did not fav
or the bond issue he stated that
lie favored a new school house.
Mr Bailey made a very good talk
and received many compliments
from those who were on the : op
PQBiteideLile however had not
gone into but subject "caref
and was discomfited to have his
statements, thrown to the wind by
Mr. Crisp. Before Mr. Crisp's
logic, his arguments tumbled a
way like a houne of cards in a
forty mtile gale. During the meet
ing the voice of A. H. Daveport
a hearty supporter of the meas
ure could be heard toj say a
word or two now and then in its
favor. ,
Opposero of the measure are
trying to get an injunction ar
gainst it. One of the opposers
who managed the polls refused
to ign the returns although he
said that the votes were count
d correctly because he counted
them.
Manteo. folk are safe now in
believing that they may get a new
school house.
