Thursday, May 18,19Q5.: THE RALEIGH ENTERPRISE. A Good Community . .-'- Angier is one of the , new towns on the Cape Fear and Northern Rail way, arid is located in a remarkably healthy section of Harnett County, about 25 miles Southeast f rom 'Ra leigh, v ' t"'- sv,: There are number of live mer chants in - the town. The principal industry is the Cary Lumber Com pany which employs a number of people and is conducted in a business-like manner. Mr. Jacob Williams is the father of the town, and is one of the most substantial citizens of Harnett.' It would be difficult to find a cleverer lot of citizens than the population of Angier affords. Death of Mr. Lees. Mr. Thomas Lees, of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, died at his home there in the early part of last week, after a brief illness of congestion of the lungs. He was more than fifty years old, and was by occupation a sta tionary engineer, having charge of the motive power of a large dye plant in that city, and he was considered a very careful and reliable man in that capacity. Mr. F. W. Kohler, Superintendent of Melrose Knitting Mill in this city, married a daughter of Mr. Lees. Mrs, Kohler and her brother, Mr. Percy Lees, who has a position in the Melrose mill, attended the fun eral. Mr. Lees returned Monday. Mrs. Kohler will stay with the fam ily some ten or fifteen days longer. Reckless Drivers. There is in Raleigh today not less than half a dozen reckless carriage, delivery wagon and dray drivers, Some white and some black, and un less the police suppress them, citi zens will have to take the matter in their own hands. Only a day or .two ago a gentleman chastised one of them for nearly driving over him on the street.' ' They drivtt much f a it than they should, pay :ao attention to pedestrians, and turn corners at a reckless speed. Recently we saw se vcral n a rro w escapes on Wilmington and .Martin Streets. At the corner of 'Fayette'- ville and Martin Streets not long ago the driver of a carriage nearly ran into three ladies as he rapidly turned the corner, they failing to hear the carriage owing to the fact ih.it evi eral vehicles were parsing at tiic same time. The driver apparently did not attempt to check the horses when- he saw the ladies directly in front of the horses. The police can hardly be ignorant of all this, for they are on the streets more than other people. It is high time that they give a firm warning to said drivers, and if that does not have the desired effect, then proceed to do their duty. It may be well for the Mayor, Police Justice and Chief of Police to have a little talk with the members of the force about th:3 particular matter. The above applies to some automobile drivers, als&v Omissions of History. Methuselah, being only a little over 400 arid still in the vigor of young manhood, bethought himself of the duty' of providing for his descend ants, and made application for a pol icy of life insurance. . The medical director of the com pan v coldly turned him down. "What's the matter?" demanded Methuselah. "Don't you consider me a safe risk?" "No, sir." replied the medical di rector. "The records show that your father only, lived SG5 years, and the probability is that you have some hereditary taint. We. can't afford to tfikp chances on vou; :ir Methuselah said : nothing. He merely went ahead and outlived the insurance company. inieago x rr bune. . .. ; ' A Deer Story. Brute', insjinct." has , formed: the theme of many an article, and won derful instances have been , given of the exercise of almost human judg ment by animals, but the following which came under our own observa tion, lays just a shade over anything we ever read : Last Sunday 0. Sweet ers and the writer were driving up the water canyon, and as we turned a bend we saw a doe and a young fawn drinking from the stone ditch. At, our approach the animals were startled, 'and in attempting to turn and run, the fawn lost its balance arid f,ell into the ditch. As many of K5ir readers know, the water ruus very swiiuy and in great volume up there, and of . course the fawn was carried 'down the stream. The moth er deer. seemed to lose all fear of us, and ran jalong the edge of the ditch trying to reach her offspring with her Head. Sudgerily she ran ahead of the floating fawn for some little distance. She plunged into the ditch with her head down stream and her hindquar ters toward the fawn, and braced her fore feet firmly in the crevices of the rocks to resist the rush of water. In a second the fawn was washed up on its mother's back, and it in stinctively clasped her neck with its forelegs. The doe then sprang from the ditch with the fawn on her back. She lay down and the baby deer roll ed to the ground in an utterly ex hausted condition. Mr. Sweeters and I were now not more than thirty feet ' from the actors in this animal tragedy, but the mother, seemingly unconscious of our presence, licked and fondled her offspring for a few minutes until it rose to its feet, and the doe and fawn trotted off up the mountain side. ...If there is anybody that doesn't be lieve Mr. Sweeters when he tells this story, let them come to us and we will vouch for it. Banning Herald. Science Brevities. There-has just died in Stockerau, Bavaria, at the age of twenty-eight years, a dwarf, Maria Schuman, who was at one time a celebrity, says La Nature. She "passed her whole life in the cradle where she slept her first sleep, twenty-eight years ago. Up to the day of her death, this strange creature preserved the height and general appearance of an infant of a few m onths, but wonderful to say, her intellect was normally developed and nothing could have been odder than to hear this tiny baby in the cradle talk like an adult, with much vivacity and intelligence ! Maria was born in 1875, at Bridgitteman, near Vienna. Her parents were of nor mal development, and so were her brothers and sisters." Translation made for the Literary Digest.
