1t is gratifying to know that
the Colleges in North Carolina
that have thus far opened this
season, have done SO under I'M
usually favorable auspices. The
attendance, too, is the largest
known in recent years. The
University has a roll of near
ly two hundred at present,
while Wake Forest opened with
one hundred and forty. Trinity,
too, opens well. The prospects
indeed are favorable for the
largest schools in years in this
State. The Female Colleges that
have entered on the new session
have large, unusually large,
matriculations.
1t speaks well.

A Collapse in Texas.

It Is the painful duty ofThe States
man to chronicle another Dallas real
estate failure. Thomas Bros, the
most extensive dealers in the rich
alluvial dirt of the Trinity bottoms,
have gone up against the wall with
the impact of a locomotive caroming
on the rear elevation of a foolish
steer. The Thomas Bros. put their
ducats in Dallas dirt with the
expectation that the Trinity would
be made navigable for fiat boats,
but a marauding muley cow drank
the river as dry as an Austin editor
on summer Sunday. Corner lots
took a tumble from 81 900 a front
foot to "a per acre, and of course
there was no alternative but to shut
up shop.-Austin (Texas) Statesman.

Death Called First.

A peculiarly sad incident occurred
at Atlanta, Ca, Saturday last. On
Friday Rev. A. d. Lotion, a Presby-
terrain minister, eighty years old,
died rather suddenly. He had living
a twin brother, A. w. Lotion, resid-
ing in Olympia, Wis. They were
Kentuckians by birth, but drifted
apart in early life and had not met
in fifty years. Last week the brother
in the far Northwest determined to
visit his aged twin brother in Georg-
la. He came without letting anything
be known here of his intentions. He
reached Atlanta Friday night only a
short while after his brothers death.

A Fayetteville special to the Rich
mond Times says: Mack Bess, a
negro, was lynched near Garland on
the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley
railroad Monday morning about 8
O'Clock for an attempt at assault on
Mrs. Peterson who resided near by.
The shrieks and cries of the lady
for help at once attracted the atten-
ton of nearby parties who ran post
haste to her rescue only in time, how
ever, to see his escape through bushes
and cornfields, but the promptness
and vigilance OF a posse of twenty
five men pursued the offender for sew
eral hours, finally capturing him
about ten miles distant, when and
where he was speedily made to pay
the penalty of his crime at the end of
rope suspended from q telegraph
pole

A VETERAN OF THREE WARS

There died in Mobile, Ala,
Tuesday, William A. w. Spots
wood, born in Virginia in 1906,
and a veteran of three wars.
After his graduation as a physi-
clan he was appointed in 1929
to the navy, and served as post
surgeon in Florida during the
Seminole war. He then served
on the United States sloop St.
Louis on the coast of Peru, and
was post surgeon in New York
city during and after the cholera
epidemic of 1880. Later he
went through a season of yellow
fever at PensacoastsO Of China and
then as feet surgeon served on
the coasts of China and Japan.
He was in service next in the
Mexican war, and was at the
siege of Vera Cruz, and vas twice
wrecked on The Mexican coast.
In January, 1861, he resigned
from the navy and was appoint
ed full surgeon in the Confederate
service and stationed at Rich
mond, where he remained with
distinction throughout the war.
His life was once of unsual adj
venture. He was q man of
great PHYSICAL strength and offine
character. His father was Gen.
Alexander Spotswood, and a
much-prized relic is a sword of
elegant workmanship presented
in 1893 to General Spotswood
by General Washington as evil
lence of the high esteem in which
his services during the revolu-
tionary war were held.

r r ABE REPORT
Business Active and Largely in Favor
Of the South.
MONETARY SITUATION FAVORABLE.
There is Great Gain in Trade In tho
South and the Prospects are Very
Favorable-Failures Occurring Last
Week.

r. g. Dunn & Co.'s weekly review
of trade says: Business improves
in all sections at the South, partly
because of the injury to the cotton
crop and the consequent advance in
price. The wheat crop is out Of
danger and is enormous, undoubted-
~ the largest ever grown and is
moving with unusual ra pidity. The
corn crop has been saved aud is very
large in most Of surplus producing
States.
Cotton has been damaged serious
ly in some States. An Alabama cor
respondent thinks 80 per cent and
New Orleans dispatches represent it
as Is to Is per cent in Louisiana
and Mississippi. Some allowance
may be made for the usual DISPOSE
ton to exaggerate the effects of
any misfortune, but q loss of some
part of the entire crop would not re-
duce the years supply below the
world requirements, while, by caus-
ing higher prices, it might benefit
producers and business in the cotton
growing States. The fact is that
there was serious danger of q disas.
trous overproduction of cotton in
spite of the rapid increase in the
worlds consumption.
The monetary situation is also de-
cidedly clearer and more favorable.
Imports of 81 100000 in gold have
been ordered through inducements
offered by one of the banks, posi-
bly,, with q shrewd regard for the
interests of customers in the stock
market. Foreign needs appear less
urgent and the danger Of q success
full resistance to the American de-
mands for gold is diminished. The
removal of the general prohibition
of American pork imports promises
a largely increased demand for these
important products and considerable
addition to the merchandise export
for the year.
Reports from other cities express
increased confidence and show some
actual gain in volume of trade. At
all Southern points higher cotton
stimulates trade, and collections are
some what better, and at New Or
leans there is fair demand for su.
gar. At most Southern points mon
ey is also easier, and at New Orleans
in ample supply for legitimate needs.
At the West no complaints of strin
gency are noted, though money is
firmer at Chicago.
Cotton commission merchants re-
port trade fairly up to last years,
and some record considerable in
crease.

A Postal Clerks PcriIous Ride In the
Sliding .,arkn 81.
A thrilling experience, although not
ending fatally, was had by railway
mail clerk who acted as distributor on
local train, says the Washington Star.
lie had a car to himself, and ut one sta
ton up in the Allegheny mountains had
left his car for a minute or two to run
forward to the engine, which was tax
ing water. The water tank was direct
ly west of the great tunnel, and when
the tender was filed and the train
started the clerk sprung for his car.
The entrance to tho car was on the side
md y solitary handle was erasped,
whereby the clerk pulled himself up to
the door. To his horror he found that
the door had been Jared Shut and could
not be opened from the outside, and the
second that he discovered this fact the
train shot into the tunnel. With dos
pcration born of terrible death STAR
ing him in the face the clerk hammered
and kicked on the door and shriclscd
aloud for help, but the noise of the train
drowned his cries, and with both hands
grasping the handle, his feet on the iron
step and his body glued to the side of
the car, for fear of being dashed off by
the jagged sides, he was carried through
the tunnel.
AS the tunnel was mile long and the
atmosphere therein is almost sitting
this luclllcss mail clerks experience
can be better imagined than described.
When the trtiD shot into daylight again
the engineer looked back, us il the Gus
tom, to sec if his train was following
all right, and discovered tho clerk in
his narrowing position. Quickly stop
ping his engine the engineer ran back,
and with the assistance of the conduct
or, helped the almost dcmcntcd man to
the ground, where he utterly collapsed,
the strain upon his nerves being too
great. For six months he was under
PHYSICIANS care, md, after he had be-
como woll man again, he said: ~
thought that tunnel was ten miles long,
and my head, imagined, was hollow,
with the dense smoke rushing in my
mouth and nostrils and coming out of
my cars like steam pipes. Whenever
think of that ride my brain rccls and
feel myself crouching rs did upon
the outside Of the car during that hor4
rifying cxporience." ......
