East Oaatoa Items. > *>»••<«*•«# d m o».t« East Gast.m, May 8.—A very and and shocking accident took place id Kart CaMon last Sat urday morning at exactly neves o’clock. Col. Robt. L. Abet oettay, after going out into his Gelds and instructing his bands wbat to do, returned to aia res Maace. lor the purpose of get ting ready to go to Dallas to at tend the Cotton Growers Meet ing. As he vent into hia room to dress, he told bis two eons. Oral and Julian to no and catch out his horses. Only a few moments had elapsed till tbc report cams from the barn that one of the horses bad kicked Oral in tbc head. In a very few moments several of the borne folks were on the spot and found Oral on bis knees trying to get up, with his face and body covered with blood. He was carried to the bouse aud placed on a cot, and every at tention possible was given him while the doctors were phoned for. Dr. C. E. Boyte, of Mount Holly, a distance of five miles away arrived at eight o’clock, and put him under me influence of drugs, and dressed tbe WQUnd. Thr nfiviirian fiMi that the flesh was cut loose to the bone on the bridge of his nose, and back over tbe left eye making the bones visible which were broken in several placet. This wilt disfigure him for life, and there is bat little if any hopes of saving his left eye. There was no one at the barn with him except hit young* cr brother, end from the best in formation we can get he was not looking at the moment. Oral himself does not know which horse kicked liim, but Julian says he was looking at him carry one of the horses and that he turned to a box to get a carry comb and brash tc help him; et the moment bis back was turned tbe kick was made. At this writing tbe little fellow is resting ss well as coaid be ex pected. The election is over end the bonds carried, leaving River Bend on top as the Banner township of the county by way of advocating improvements, with Dallas as our second. Hence it is that we can look for good roada in the near fu ture at a much faster rate than we have been getting them. Prof. Webb, of McAdenviile, opened a singing school at River Bend church last Monday night which was to last 10 days, but tbe people were so well pleased with him and his work they made him up another teir days •cbpol last Saturday night, so he will be with tbem till the third Sunday in this month, teaching part of the time in day time and part at night.

Miss Msggie Ervin one of tbe handsomest and smartest girls of Charlotte, has been spending a week with her friend. Miss Ella Aberoetby at Open View.

Mias Laura Snuggs of Char lotte, had made arrangements to visit Open View for several days this week, bet on account of the sad accident there tbe has abas doaed her trip for tbe present. We are sorry to note tbe death on last Saturday evening of the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Henderson, Those good people have the sympathy of all the people of that section. Uncle Uriah has at last done what we wanted him to do, got him a good horse. He and Uncle Bob, and George and Dave can now go in style. Think of it, four oM bachelors, all with •»« horses and new buggies, it means something. Mm. Sidaer Rankin of Rank iotown, died last Wednesday at ■ old age. She was a mater of Uncle Shoo?

Cbadburu, May G.—There has never been anything in the his tory' of this State that compares with the railroad block here. More than $200,000 worth of berries have rotted at the depot here since Monday morning. The railroad company Is at this moment banting carload after carload of fine, but spoiled ber ries to the river and damping them as so much garbage. The loss to the track growers of this immediate section will be at least $600,000. These figures seem absurd, but they arc abso lutely reliable. The Fruit Growers’ Express Company, a part of tbe Armour concern, has failed to supply the refrigerator cars. Where 1,700 cars were promised to Atlantic Coast Line, 500 have shown np. The farm ers are picking tbeir berries as rapidly as they can and turning them over to tbe station agent here. Tbe Armour Company is held responsible and claims for $200,000 damages have been filed. More than 100 Northern commission men are here ready and eager to pay from $2 to $3 a crate for tbe berries, if they could ship them. Tbe situation la unique and interesting. Thousands of crates of this prettiest sort of fruit are on tbe yard ben. Tbe rotting berries smell from one end of tbe town to the other. Cars loaded with decaying fruit give forth juice sod steam. The merchants, the trackers and the baying ■gents, look as If they were at* tending a funeral. fril—r Sim 8ni it Manat My. A epetrial from Marion, N.
