trees like melting snow.
The Visitck is delighted to have
erred yesterday in the statement that
.... . . IT ..
engineer watson was aeaa. lie was
better this morning and, although
seriously hurt, he now has a very
good chance of recovery.
Many people stopped on their way
lown town last evening to listen to
the excellent music that was furnished
by a company of Raleigh musicians
n Ludden & Bates piano store.
Sheriff Page is again sheriff and he
and his deputies have a chance to do
some fine work capturing "Shackle
foot Charles" and the two negro boys
who are sti.l at large, charged with
murder.
A strange fatality seems to have
been following the S. A. L. system in
this state and Virginia. Wreok after
wreck, accident after accident and a
big "hold up" hae been reported in
the last few months.
The witnesses who are here in at
tendance upon the federal court, that
is in criminal cases, are fairly taking
the town. Many of them would
create a sensation, for toughness, in
the lowest b 'wery dives.
Mr. Fred. Mahler and Mr. Rowland
returned today from' an extended
hunting trip on the lower Cape Fear.
They bagged, besides a large wild
turkey and numberless birds, two fine
specimens of wild geese, the largest
of whioh weighed 15 pounds. '
The Christian missionary associa
tion adjourned last evening after a
most successful apd encouraging meet
ing. Most of the delegates returned
todav. This was the first meeting of
the association and Kaleign is proua
to have been the place selected.
The north bound Atlanta special,
which passed through early this
morning carried no mail agent and no
letters were mailed. The wrecK w
responsible for the irregularity as the
airent did not have time, owing to tne
delay.to go to Rutherfordton and then
catch the special, as is his custom.
Wednesday night telegrapher Scar
let sent for train despatcher Williams,
You will hear of a wreck In a few
minutes." said he. He was told when
the doomed freight passed Hamlet
and knew it was impossible for a col
lision to be averted. He tried to have
the train stopped at Wadesboro but
the operator there was out of his of
fice.
The steam roIleT, that monstrous
and expensive "jigger," has been
making a bold bluff at working several
times during the past two weeks
From latest advloes, however. Its at
tempt at work was so troublesome
that it. is asrain playing the role of
"Weary Walker" and has gone quietly
to rest in the mud, near the governor's
mansion.
State horticulturist Massey has re
ceived a letter from the Blue Ridge
horticulturist society, of Highlands,
stating that the society would petition
the next legislature lorturtner legis
lation in the matter of preventing
forest fires and asking other simila
societies to also petition the Jegisla
ture. How the the -society expects the
legislature to stop the fires does next
appear. ;
The cltr ordinanoe that compells the
policemen to make rounds every night
putting out street lamps is as unfair
as it is ridiouloua. This is not the
province of a policeman, if it is neces
sary for anyone to put them out, and
besides all could be extinguished at
one time iy simply cutting off the
UDPlr in the main pipe. But th
lights should, by all means, barn all
night.
STILLAL1VE.
Mr O. L. Watson not Dead as
Reported. The Straight of
the Wreck-
Owing' to the disposition of the rail
way officials, in a position to know,
not to give anything about the fatal
wreck near Rockingham, no official
account could be obtained. The Visi
tor, and all the papers in fact, there
fore got the story slightly mixed. The
teport was general yesterday morn
ing that Mr. Watson was dead, but
when the Atlanta special came in late
yesterday afternoon it was learned
that siifh was not the case. He la
badly injured haing sustained a frac-
ure of the skull, his most serious
mind, and a fracture of his left leg,
esides being ! adly bruised. His in
line are not tnongnt to De latai,
(though his leg may have to be
mputated.
The wreck was caused by conductor
Bran h failing to look at the register
at Hamlet to see where the regular
trains were. The wreck occurred at a
sharp curve and it is this fact that
caused the two trains to collide while
unning at such a high rate of speed

Raleigh Musical Seclety.
Many people will probably not
know what the heading refers to as
the society is quite a recently organ
ized association.
The society, which is composed of
Raleigh's most talented singers and
musicians, was organized for the pur
pose of encouraging and elevating the
talent of Raleigh's many talented
musical lights. It is the purpose of
the society to give concerts, from time
to time. The first one of the serieB
will be given early in January at, Met
ropolitan hall, and Raleigh people will
then be treated to a home concert
which will surpass in excellence the
performances of many much lauded
and loudly advertised "operas" that
often visit the city.
Mr. John Simpson is president of
the society and Mr. Bryaut, the musi
cal instructor at Peace institute, is
musical director. It is a pleasure to
announce thas Mrs. Bryant, whose
beautiful voice has entirely captured
Raleigh audiences on several occasions,
she is a member of the society and
will sing at its concerts.
The society has been rehearsing
faithfully and the success of its first
concert is already assured. Meetings
are held every Thursday evening.
The board of county commissioners
met today and transacted routine bus
iness. The keys, &c, of the treasu
rer's office were delivered to Mr.
Knight. Mr. Wilson came before the
board and made a talk saying that he
thought the board should reconsider
and allow Mr. Adams time to streng
then bis bond, No action in this mat
ter was taken by the board.
To every one who, between now and
Christmas, makes a 50 cent purchase
in retail trade, Mr A.Dughi will give a
chance for a fine talking parrot, worth
$25; the parrot to be delivered Christ
mas day.

CLOTHING & CROCKERY.
We have a lovely stock of nice new
clothing for men and boys, and as
pretty line of crockery as one ever
sees, and we are now selling Dotn
these lines al wholesale cost. Do you
believe it or don't you believe. , If
yon don't believe you certainly won't
gain anything; if you do believe you
won t lose anything..

AGRICULTURAL HOARD
The Legislature to be Asked for
a Small Appropriation for
the A. and M. College.
The board of agriculture, which has
been in session here for the past few
days, adjourned yesterday afternoon
after having performed the regular
routine work of the department and
mapping out the work for the ensuing
year.
A committee was appointed to pre
pare a report to be presented to the
neit general assembly. This commit
tee will meet sometime during the hol
idays.
Ihe committee of the board of trus
tees of the A. and M. college met yes
terday afternoon and, in view of the
very large and satisfactory enrollment
at the college, found it neccessary to
provide a safeanl more economical sys
tem of lighting in the buildings and
dormitories and to provide a water
supply sufficient for both dormitory
and fire purposes. While they have
the most scanty means at their dispo
sal, this work seems imperative.
The committee decided, in view of
the rapidly growing attendance at the
college, to ask the general .ai nibly
for a small special appropri.it -u to
meet the demands made upon it.
A Good One on Mr. Ay rock.
A funny incident occurred in fed
eral court yesterday during the Hod-
die trial. Sheriff Arrington, of 'ash
county, testified that, in his opinion,
there was no resemblance between the
writing on the postal card and the
money order. On cross-examination
by Mr. Aycock, when asked if he had
any grievance against .Mrs. Arrington,
he replied that he had. "What is it?"
said Mr. Aycock. "She roasted me in
her paper ' just about as bad as she
did you," responded the witness. The
answer brought down the house.
College Baseball.
Early in January the different col
leges will commence training baseball
teams, In the state the university
and Wake Forest will both have strong
niues and should they meet the strug
gle will be very interesting. There is
said to be a hitch, however, the uni
versity claiming that Wake Forest
will play professionals. This hap
pens to be case so it is very doubtful
whether or not a game will be ar
ranged. A Raleigh boy, Mr. Charles
R. Turner, is manager of the univer
sity team.
Lecture on Education.
Miss D. Ellen Caddell, a pretty
young lady from Florence, S. C, will
deliver a lecture at the court house
this evening at 8 o'clock on "Educa
tion." Admission free. All should
go and hear her.
"Ilm Crow" Cars Not Wanted.
Richmond, Va., Dec. 5 In the
house of representatives today a bill
requiring the railroads to provide sep
arate coaches for white and colored
passengers was reported unfavorably.
Bills similar to this have made their
appearance in every legislature of re
cent years, and have been invariably
defeated.
England's

Mur-
Dublin, Dec. 6, It is reported that
)1. Saunderson has visited his son,
Col
Reginald Saunderson, who is confined
in jail at Armagh awaiting his trans
fer to London, where he will have to
answer a charge of murder.
It is said ' that the prisoner has
tried to commit suicide since his ar
rest, but the jail officials refuse to
give any information.
Successor Anti-Toxine.
Kansas Cm. Mo.. ' Dee. 6. Local
physicians are enthusiastic over the
dyphtheria remedy, a quantity of
which has been received here and put
upon its merrits.
Two doses of the serum were given
to an infant child having an advanced
case of diphtheria, and in one day's
time the child was pronounced out of
danger.
Another case, that of a youth who
had been ill nine days with the dis
ease, has shown like results, the pa
tient nearly being cured after two
doses had been administered. Fur
ther experiments are being made every
day. '
