There was an accident on trie Win
ston-Salem division ot the Norfolk &
Western road about one o'clcck this
morning near Pine Hall. The result
was that one man was killed and an
other seriously injured.
The caboose attached to an incom
ing freight train from Roanoke, Va.,
jumped tne trestle across uan river
near Pine Hall and rolled over into
tbe river.
Flagman J B. Hamilton, a married
man, aged about 3 1 years, of Virginia,
wa instantly kil ed. A brakeman
named Mac Cockrsn, unmarried, and
about 2t years old.of Grayion county,
Va., was seriously injured. Both
were white. These were the nly two
men on the car at the time.
Fortunately the conductor was rid-
ing on the engine when the accident
occurred.
The accident is supposed to have
been caused by wood falling from a
flat car. Hamilton and Cockran
were both in the caboose and it is
thought were asleep.
The Railroad Company's surgeon
Dr. C- L Summers, went out on a
special to Pine Hall about two o'clock
this morning and brought Cockran
buck on the train to Winston and
placed him ' at his boarding house.
One leg was broken betides injuries
internally. Tbe wounded man con
tiuued to grow worse until 1 1 o'clock

LET US HAVE A LAKE.
3,
When the weather is so interne y
hot, as it has been for a week past, it
is natural for us to desire a lake to
which we could resort at pleasure, and
where one might cool off.; And why
may we not have a lake some where
in striking distance of the city, with
a good camping ground near it, a
sort of park, in which people might
spend a day and night occasionally?
Fifty dollars would perhaps buy the
grounds, containing a cool ' iptmg, a
grove and room for a lake, and the
cost of a dam would be a small affair
It would be necessary to go beyond
all the streams into which the city
is drained, and the distance required
to do that would not be great;
There is acmal necessity for some
thins of the sort. Who will take the
initiative in the matter?
Pensioners-Free Paaaea.
Arrangements have been made by
which all pensioners of the State of
North Carolina desiring to attend the
Confederat Veterans Re-union at
Wrightsville, ; August 16th t aoth,

A certificate signed by Superior
Court Clerk of the county in which
the pensioner lives, to the effect th
his name is on the pensioners roll of
his county, must accompany the ap
plicaton for transportation.' The
information herein Riven should be
circulated lor the benefit cf a'l pen
