Bivins of Tbe Stanley Enterprise, at Albe marle, has the sympathy of the entire press of tbe State in the misfortune he sustained Sunday morning when his entire plant was destroyed b : fire, entailing a loss of about $7,000 without a cent of insurance. The accident was all the more deplorable be cause of the fact that he had just recently moved iato a new building of his own. The North Carolina Baptist's regular issue for October 30th was a Favettev'le industrial edition and reflects credit both upon the publishers and the town. It consists of 32 pages and is well illustrated through out with half-tone cuts showing business houses, residences, mills, business men and general scenes which lend no little to i:s attractiveness. Mr. J. H. Myrover, who by the way is an interesting writrr aud wnose contributions in The Charlotte Observer are widely read, con tributes a history of Fayetteville which is absorbing. The vari ous phases of the town's indus tiial, social, educational and re ligious life are pictured, by writers who present facts and figures in a most attractive style. The Baptist has done Fayetteville a great good by the issuance of this industrial edition. that city, which almost surpasses belief. Briefly stated, tbe facts in the. case are that' the little girl was sent to Tbcmasvilie a month ago to visit the family of Mr. M. B. Shoaf. the two fam ilies having been neighbors and on friendly terms. Oac day last week Mr. Field was informed mat nis cnua was being mis treated,' and went to Tbomas ville to investigate. He found the child in a horrible condition, ber little body being covered with gashes and sores, showing that she had been beat and' abused almost continuously dur ing the entire month of her stay with the Sboafs. From the re poits given it is almost unbeleiv able that such inhuman cruelty could be practiced on a mere child in these enlightened days. Sboaf and his wife hav.- been arrested and are being closely guarded to prevent their being lynched by the infuriated neigh bors and friends of the Field family. The. only excuse that the Sboafs have given for their treatment of the child was that she "littered up the floor" and was not clean about the house, but such an excuse has no weight in the face ot their terri. ble brutality. I? the facts as given above prove to be true, tbe public will be pleased to see the perpetrators of such a crime suffer the most extreme penalty, whatever it may be, that the law provides lor in the case. r ; New Coat Suits, v; -i':'' Cloaks, Skirts, qnd Furs just These are Exlremely Low Priced.

JJN Fo LOVE, mm BIG DEPARTMENT STORES 3C 11 2Z McADENVILLC MATTERS. TOWN AND COUNTY. The case of the brakeman H. C. Leonard, upon whom the c kroner's jury placed the re sponsibility for the disastrous . wreck at Rudd's on October 17tb, which is to be tried at the December term of Guilford Superior Court, is one in which great interest will center. While undoubtedly Leonard's act in leaving the switch open or in opening the switch was the direct cause of the wreck, yet in view of the fact that Leonard had been 23 hours with out sleep, the people will watch with interest to see whether any psrt of the responsibility is placed higher up, where all the facts seem to indicate that it should be placed. The state ment has been made, it is true, that he was not on duty con tinuously for 23 hours but could have slept 5 hours in the mean while. But the law, if we are not mistaken limits the period of continuous duty to 16 hours and provides for a rest period of not less than eight hours be tween these. The law under wnicn railroad employees may be held for murder where death results from their carelessness is a good one, but we shall await the result of Leonard's trial with iuterest to see if some part at least of the responsibility does not lie upon employers who require such bours of ser vice of their employees.
