CAPE FEAR AND DEEP RIvER.-1TowN MEETING
1t will be seen that at the request OF number OF free
holders his honor the Mayor, has issued call for
meeting of citizens to be held at the Court House this
Saturday afternoon at hafpast two o'clock matters
connected with the Cape Fear and Deep River Nayga

We are Glad that this meeting has been called. We
trust that its action may lead to full and fair under
standing of the matter which now most Immediately en-
cages the attention of our citizens-we that of
subscription by the town of $4,000 to the stock oftha
Company
Every citizen of town. who has thought about the
matter at ALL acknowledges the Importance of securing
an outlet through this port for the rich trade of the Cape
Fear and Deep River valley. No refuses his conf
dence to the gentlemen at the work. All concede
to them integrity honesty and business capacity yet,
as the matter now stands, without further light
upon the subject we could have no doubt of the
result of the vote if Immediately taken. The subscrp
ton would assuredly fail Much people are EN-
barrassed no proposition that offers fair and reasonable
prospect for securing onehaf of the anticipated
benefits likely to accrue from the opening of this work.
should be lightly rejected 1t demands at the hands OF
our citizens fair and impartial examination. If the
result of that examination be to furnish evidence su-
cent to convince the judgments of voters that the hopes
and expectations of the Directors well founded-i
after that examination citizens arrive at the same
conclusions to which the directors have COME think
that regard for their best interests will lead them
to vote for extending the amount of aid asked for But
such has been the history of the worksO many the dis
appointments which have been met that really ques-
ton whether the great body of the public would be will
ing to take the judgment of General Washington himself
upon trust with reference to any matter connected with it.
Such being the state of the case, glad that this
movement has been made. We sincerely trust that
such facts be placed before people will war
rant them in concurrng in opinion with the conclusion
to which the officers of the Company have come.

Hon. BEDFORD BRowN.-Last week we had the pleas
ure OF seeing and renewing the acquaintance of the Hon
Bedford Brown of Caswel county He is one of the
old time democrats, and conversation with him was
both pleasant and instructive to us. Mr. Brown was
first elected to the Senate of the U States from North
Carolina In 1923, and reelected for another term
which position he occupied with Hon. Robt Strange Of
Fayetteville as his colleague, until instructed out by
wing Legislature with K: Rayner at its head. AS a
sound reliable, consistent democrat Bedford Brown has
no superlors-as courteous, affable and unassuming
gentleman, but few equals. While in the Senate he
distinguished himself by speeches in opposition to what
was known as the Force Bill flor subjugating South
Carolina, and in favor Of the T." Expunging Resolu-
tons He discharged his duty to his constituents and
party faithfully, satisfactorily and fearlessly. >
After leaving the Senate he removed to Missouri, but
few years ago he returned to North Carolina to spend
the remainder of his days among his old friends and ac
quaintances which we hope will be as pleasant and
agreeable to him. as it viii be to his numerous party
admirers.-Char. Democrat.

Terrible and Fatal Accident !-ExposiOn a Steam
ROiLer-Four persons Killed aud four wounded.

Steam
Boi!er-Four persons killed and four wounded.
On Tuesday evening last about 3 clock the boiler
attached to the Steam Saw-mil of Messrs Golding &
Wallace III the Northern part of this County, few
miles from Germanton, exploded instantly killing four
persons and severely wounding four Others A friend
who visited the of the disaster has kindly furnished
with the facts from which learn that the names
of the killed are, John Wallace superintendent of the
Mill Abner Pryor, neighbor, a visit to the
MILL and VIM. B. Powers and Gabriel Jones' hands,
Mr.. James Tally was MORALLY wounded, and is not ex-
pected to recover; Mr.. John Brown is very much in
jured but it is thought will survive; and Benjamin
Jones and Hartwe Sapp both scaded, but not dan
gerousy.
The explosion was most terrific one. One half of
the boiler was burst into fragments and the other part
weighing probably 1000 pounds precipitated
with the utmost force and velocity distance of seventy
yards. In its passage struck tree of considerable
SIZE the roots splitting the trunk and causing it,
from the force of the shock to break off at dis
lance of twenty-five feet from the ground
| Mcssrs. W allace and Pryor sitting log, a
short distance from the boiler engaged in conversation
when the explosion took place Their bodies both
horribly manged that of the former having been thrown
distance of forty yards where it struck tree The body
of Mr.. Pryor also thrown considerable distance.
The head and face of Mr. Powers was literally torn to
pieces, though the body not much mangled. The
body of Mr. Jones bears fewer marks injury than those
of the others who were killed. Mr.. Tally is so much
burned and injured that he cannot possibly survive but
the other three Messrs Brown Jones and Sapp will in
all probability recover
Our information states that the scene of the accident
presented most appalling and heartrending sight
Fragments of human skulls, brans and limbs, were
scattered in every direction. The building, machinery
&c, is of course complete wreck. We have not heard
the amount of the loss by way of destruction to proper
| ty, but presume that it must be considerable
The cause of the explosion is supposed to have been
an insufficiency of water in the boiler.

He FELT CHEAP.-A nervous grocer at Newark,
New Jersey, had 500 in bills and fearful of robbers
placed it in measure of oats for safe keeping His
horse ate it, by way of dessert with his next meal
That horse didn't pay for his eedhe didn't reward the
mancent hospitality of his owner who might be said
to have done something like sowing wild oats. Didn't
that grocer his eyes, and the horses nnard "
and eating apparatus and wish that his meal had choked
that respectable equine quadruped. Moral-Don't put
500 in bills in measure of oats for safe keeping and
then let your horse eat the whole arrangement except
the measure because you do you will be 500 poorer.
