MOTORCYCLIST Machine driven byvjohn h. deppe collides with A-BUGGY. , v John H.- Deppe was painfully injured and Mrs. H. Cv Whitehurst and son, Prof..' Harold Whitehurst, "were badly bruised and shaken up Friday night as a result of a collision between the pony and buggy which Prof. White hurst was driving and the motorcycle which' Mr. ' Deppe was "riding, the acci dent' occurring about eight d clock' on Griffith street nearly, off .against the saw mill of the Broaddua & Ives Lum ber Company. ' vV Prof. Whitehurst stated that he was driving in and ' the motorcycle was going out. He said he sanf the machine some distance and and guided his pony to the right, never doubling that the motorcycle - would , be - turned to . the right of its rider and successful passage of the 1 two vehicles be', successfully accomplished., V' , 1 A little later when he noticed that the . motorcycle . was ' : coming up on the.'"wfong"j: side', of th street ..'he. guided the. pony still nearer the curb.

Mrs. Whitehurst fell in between the body of the buggy and the wheels and Prof..' Whitehurst," in en deavoring to hold the pony and at the same time prevent his mother "from falling found himself also , on the out side of the vehicle. ' --v' .-' Mr. Deppe explained his riding into the team by saying that riding across the railroad .tracks . near where the accident occurred caused his light to go out and he did not see the pony and buggy until he was sq, close to it that there was no time to prevent the collision. He was badly hurt. A piece of one tooth was broken out and another was loosened, and his cheek was lacer ated and bruised.

Pass On Merits And De- ' : merits of Measure. , That"' the Craven county Farm Life School maye ventually obtain aid iron the Federal Government is the opinion of County Superintendent S. M. Brin son after reading of a bill offered in ths House' of r Rerpesentatives by ; Repre sentative Pearson Hobson of Alabama providing for- vocational schools,' Mr. Hobson has sent State Superintendent Joynena copy of the bill with the re quest that he examine it and- let the Congressman know what he thinks of it.v' ';;':-'", '; '..:.'. Under the provisions of the act, the United State Commissioner of Edu- cation may survey with the State sup erintendents certain subdivisions of districts of the State with the purpose of ' making plans, specifications and estimates of cost and maintenance in adequate numbers. Where such-schools are established, the bill provides, that the secretary of the 'Interior may pay one-third of the cost of - construction,;.. the conditions being that these schools be run and made to serve their communities. ; While the words "farm life" do not occur in1 the very brief bill, it is un derstood that this is a big movement toward interesting the whole country in farm li:e schools. . While the construction of the Craven school1 has already been provided for, there will undoubtedly be a demand for enlargement and when the time comes to . erect a. new building Mr. Brinson believes, in the event of Mr. Hobson's bill becoming a law, that the first farm life "school to be established by a North Carolina county will not fail to receive aid in connection with the contemplated general movement to encourage vocational training all over the country.

The hose wagon teams from the Atlantic Steam Fire Engine Company, the New Bern Steam Fire Engine Company No. 1, the Fourth Ward Hose Wagon Company and the Riverside Hose Wagon Com pany will participate in . the races which will be held on Wednesday. . For several weeks the local teams have been practising for this event and are now in fine trim.

Washington, Aug. 2. rRepresenta tive Frank Buchanan, of Illinois, who used to be an ironworker, had a wrest ling match with a conductor on a Sur face car yesterday afternoon.; ' ,. The fight started at the Peace Monu ment near the Capitol. Mr. Buchanan tendered to the conductor a' transfer which the latter said was no good. He added that Buchanan would have to pay or get off. "If I get off, you'll put me off," Bu chanan, who weighs about 200 pounds, is alleged to have said. Thereupon the conductor, witnesses say, made a dive for him. He attached himself to Buchanan's frame and was striving to throw him from the door when Representative Tom Reilly of Connecticut who was peacefully read ing a newspaper, advised his colleague to pay his fare or get off the car. Several passengers offered to pay the fare for the sake of peace, but Mr. Buchanan decided to do a little walking, GRIFFITH STREET "CITIZEN" SAYS IT IS THE MOST DANGEROUS IN THE CITY LIMITS. A few days ago I noticed in the col umns of the Journal a verv timely article calling attention to the danger ous crossing at the corner of Queen, Graves and Griffith streets. This article was the occasion of considerable comment, everybody appreciating the danger under existing conditions, but little comment was made by way of Printer's ink. Since the appearance of the above article; one driver had to jump for, his life, a Coast Line car or engine striking his vehicle. Just recently, Dr. Carter, pastor of the fiddle street Baptist church, related to the writeu his all but miracu lous escape at this same .crossing, the shifting engine barely missing the car in which he was driving. Unfortunately, danger ever, sel dom prompts men to action, tragedy alone moving them. !iP ' Many men are attracted by such things as ' imperil life. They prefer. seemingly to gamble thus, but it does seem to me that so great a danger as exists at the. corner of Queen and Griffith by reason; of the' shifting . 'of the freight trains should prompt' some action leading to the discontinuance of the shifting. ( . Present conditions serve only to remind us of the cheapness of human life. The element of danger is of course paramount, but there, are other reasons why . this . shifting should be discon tinued, to wit, the economic loss to the various interests of. the town, and the inconvenience suffered by the travel ling ' public. : , - .,- Queen street is used by the Coast line as a shifting yard, and it is. not unusual for passers-by to have to wait for the engine and cars, to move before they can pass. This waiting . is., not on the outskirts of the town as it once was, but on the main thoroughfare, and you must await their ,' pleasure, and yet-not one of us would permit an individual to thus hold, us up day after day, . :, Some things are altogether unreason able, and I . take it that the, privilege which the Coast Line has thus enjoyed at the public expense is such,, and I trust that "the powers that., be" may shortly see fit to enact an ordinance leading to its discontinuance. .

SATISFACTION AT WHITE HOUSE Principal Candidate To Oppose Mitchell Will Probably Be Mayor Gaynor. New York, Aug. 2. Republicans, rrogressives and Independents as rep resented by a Fusion committee of one hundred and eight members, agreed yesterday upon the nomination of John Purroy Mitchel, collector of cus toms of the port of New York as a candidate for Mayor. The regular Democratic candidate or that to be backed by Tammany Hall has not yet been named, but Mayor Gaynoii is un derstood to be a candidate for nomina tion for another term. The agreement of the Fusionists which put Mitchel forward as their candidate was not reached until after an all night struggle during which the committee took nine ballots, on the first of which Mitchel led by a slight margin over District Attorney Charles S. Whitman, and Borough President George McAneny, of Manhattan. These were the only three candidates con sidered. In selecting a Fusion ticket to fight Tammany for the municipal offices the coming autumn, the Committee of 10T had the choice of three complete tickets which had been arranged carefully by its executive committee. The latter had been unable to agree upon a candidate for Mayor, as between Charles S. Whitman, John Purroy Mitchell and George McAneny. There fore, it composed three tickets with one of these names at the head of each, and when the Committee of 107 opened its session in the Fifth avenue building the executive committee said: "There, take your choice." Washington, Aug. 2. When John Purroy Mitchel was appointed by Presi dent Wilson as collector' of the port of New York, the understanding was that if he designed to enter the mayoral ty contest he could do so without resigning until he felt ready to do so. While the White House had no comment PH-Mr. Mitchel'g set ction as the Fu sion mayoralty ! candidate it was ap-' parent that officials there were pleased. t' 'tvV.": ;r, r KILLIAN BENNETT AND NORTH ERN CAPITALISTS NOW OWN BIG LUMBER COMPANY.
