Company.

Especial to the State Chronicle
WINSTON, n. c., Oct. 16-One of the
greatest strokes yet made for the ad
vancement of our prosperity was made

Blair, President of the Peoples National
Bank and commander of Washington and
Philadelphia capital.
The formation of this company is one
of the greatest steps in the history of the
city and it will eventually prove great
factor in its advancement.
In the company are capitalists from
England, New York, Philadelphia, Rich
| mond, Roanoke, New Berne, Goldsboro,

The intention of this company is tc
improve and sell large lands. They have
purchased nearly 600 acres Of beautiful,
rolling land, stretching from the South

Hotel and Land Company.
On this land they will build large
manufacturing establishments, and alst

The company has already negotiated
with large cotton milling company t.

and are also arranging to move severa
establishments from the north. Severa
things are in the wind that are Of hing
proportions, but it is our plan never 1
speak of our business projects until the

The result this will have on the res

And yet We all object to calling it boon

THE A. 81 M. COLLEGE.
A Suggestion to Change the Session so
That the College May be Opened in
The Summer.

That the College May be Opened in
The Summer.
Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.l
It was my pleasure to attend the ag
ricultural meeting in Commons Hall
Wednesday night and listen to many
excellent speeches by able and distin
guished gentlemen While being much
entertained by all of the speeches., was
impressed with the suggestions made by
Gen. w. r. Cox in regard to changing
the session of the Agricultural and Ne
chanical College.
Gen. Cox suggested hlving the term
during Summer months so that the stu
dents could obtain practical knowledge
on farming. think his suggestion a
good and timely one, as the Agricultu-
raj college is unlike every other college
in North Carolina, and | take it that
young men who are receiving an agri-
cultural education should become ac-
customed to the sunshine and work du-
ring the summer months, thereby OBJ
tanning the best practical experience.
And believe, should the session be
changed as Gen. Cox suggested it would
rebound to great good in advancing the
interest of the college and in instruct
| ing the young men.
| The college is established to advance
the interests of agriculture, and | be
lieve the best results could be obtained
if these suggestions were followed.

Ing into Durham and when about four
miles from town, the engineer saw wo-
man walking on the track. The neces-
sary alarm was given by the blowing of
the whistle, and slowing up of the train,
bat the engine struck her before it could
be stopped, and she was knocked from
the track. 1t was found that it was Mrs.
Sallle Scroggins. and she was about six.
ty five years of age She was killed, but
there was no outward sign of injury to
her body, no part of the skin being bro
ken.
The train was delayed some time, the
trainmen attending to her, and it did
not reach Durham until some time after
the Raleigh train came in
About one hour after this accident the
news came in that man had been
killed below the cotton factory, in East
Durham. 1t was true Thad Gilbert
was found on the n c. railroad track
in terribly mangled condition. 1t is
supposed that he was killed instantly,

No definite account of the accident
| has been yet obtained. His wife says
he started out and said he was going to
see Mrs. Scoggins who had been killed
no more than sn hour before. That was
the last she saw of him until his mangled
body was found upon the track.

At 11.30 O'Clock Monday night fire
broke out in the drug store Of r. N.
Duffy, Oh the corner of Middle and Pol
lock streets. The whole of the interior
of the building was soon a solid mass of
flame which burst out on the north side
and led into the Offices of Drs. Charles
and Frank Duffy, the two barber shops
of J. B Brown and Robert Green, and
the tailor shop of Richard Sawyer Also
the law Office of Duffie & Nixon, over
the drug store, was burned out. +. N.

COULDN'T STAY AWAY.
And Now he may Spend his Life Be-

(By United Press.l


An attempt was made here last night
to lynch Thomas O'Connor. Two weeks
ago Gov. Merriam pardoned O'Connor
from the State prison at Saltwater,
where he was serving life sentence for
the murder of Harvey Pratt, his neph-
ew, at Lesur Centre. The Governor
placed a peculiar provision in the par
don, that the prisoner should immedi-
ately leave the State never to return.
He went to Iowa but returned Tuesday
night. He was here to day. Pratt's
friends organized to hang him, upon
learning which. officers secured him and
hurried him away to Jail in an adjoin-
ing county. County attorney Everett,
of Lesur, is in conference with Gov.
Merriam, by which it is thought O'Con-
nor will be placed behind the bars at
Saltwater today to remain there the
rest of his days.

Difference IN the Lfrs - Hsrn md Vooren.
Tho ordinary woman arises from her
bed IN tho morning, makes tho daily
round Of her duties. sets her house 10
order, gets her children off 10 school and
Iettles down for a quiet dag OF sewing
OF reading. On an occasional afternoon
She makes shopping excursion or scores
off a list Of calls. She moves generally
among the same set Of people. Day after
day che stays within the home walls and
sees only the familiar family friends, the
pOstman, the grocer boy, with now and
then the extraordinary excitement of a
day with the dressmAker.
What a contrast - this hundrum is
the daily eNstence OF the man. His
journey to town by steam or horse car,
or his walk along the busy street, is full
of incident and Of interchange. Before
be hes reached his place OF business in
the morning ne has, perhaps, discussed
the topics Of the day with a half dozen
different persons. His daily occupation
brings Kim into contact with men Of a
dozen different nations, Of a dozen diff
ferent creed5, in a dozen different strata
Of society. He may not be aware Of 1t,
bat there is In his mind a constant sift-
ing analysis, judgment of human char
acter. The constant shifting of the
kaleidoscope shows him lives in all sorts
OF combinations, broadons his views and
;akes from him that intensity of feeling
which belongs 10 narrownees and helps
TO set aside personal feeling in forming
his opinions. Good Housekeeping.
