JOHN THOMAS KILLED.
Brakeman Killed in Freight Wreck
at Colon-Another Wreck Yester-
day at Kilby.

A freight wreck occurred at Colon,
thirty-five miles below here on the Sea-
board Airline, yesterday. Ten or
fifteen cars were thrown from the
track and a negro brakeman, John
Thomas, was almost instantly killed.
A wrecking train left at once for the
scene and it was late in the afternoon
before the track was cleared and
trains were running again. The full
particulars have not yet been received.
The regular S. A /. south-bound
mail that should have arrived
here at 1926 p. m. didn't pull in
until three hours later. 1t was delayed
by a freight wreck. Twenty-four
miles this side of Portsmouth, at Kilby
station a journal was wrung off a
freight car, and the car was overturn-
ed. The track was blocked for several
hours. No one was injured.
1t is rather singular that two acct
dents should occur on different divis-
ions of the Seaboard at so nearly the
same hour.

NEW FRUIT PESTS APPEAR.


The Experiment Station Issues an I'M
portant Warning to Fruit Growers.
The Entomologist of the State Elk
pertinent Station sends out the follow.
ing warning to fruit growers:
wv are obliged TO chronicle the adj
vent of that dreaded and destructive
pest to fruit trees, the San Jose Scale,
which has ben now reported from two
localities in North Carolina. 1t attacks
chiefly the pear, peach, plum and APP
pie. The original home of this pest
is California, whence it was brought
and widely disseminated throughout
the Atlantic States by two New Jersey
nurseries. Just how widespread this
pest is within our State we do not
know, but all trees of the above named
species received from New Jersey grow
ers during the last six years, should
be regarded as suspicious and should be
thoroughly examined for presence OF
the scale. The scale appears on the
stem and young twigs as rough, gray
ish specks, much resembling ashes. A
closer inspection at this season will
show smaller yellowish specks moving
about The latter are the larvae or
young of the scale,
"Please examine your own trees and
ask your neighbors ITO examine theirs
and mail to the Station specimens of
twig showing anything resembling
scale insects. A bulletin will be issued
soon after October 1st giving treatment
for these insects"

FUNERAL OF MAI. LEWIS.
The Wake County Bar Attends in a
Body-Sketch of the Noted
Lawyers Life.

The funeral of the late Maj A. M.
Lewis was held at four o'clock yester-
day afternoon from the First Baptist
church. Rev. DIR. Skinner preached
the funeral sermon from the fourth
verse of the 39th Psalm. Rev. DIR.
Carter, the pastor, conducted the fun
eral service. The Wake county bar at
tended in body and pall-bearers We're
selected from his associates at the
bar.
The interment was in lakewood
cemetery.
Augustus Marion Lewis, a son of
Guilford and Jane Lewis, was born in
Franklin county on the 18th day of
May, 1921, and his early life was pass
ed in that historic county. lie after
wards was a student at the University
of North Carolina, where he took an
elective course. He was a contempt
rarv there with Rev. Thomas r. Skin
ner. ID. d.. DIR. A. b. Hawkins, Hon.
George V. Strong, and other prominent
citizens of North Carolina, and there
began the lifelong friendship between
him and myself. He began the study
of law at the University under that
distinguished instructor, Judge VIII
liam I'll. Battle, and not long after he
left the University in 1S45, he obtained
his license. He began to pra tice in
Louisburg. but afterwards moved to
Raleigh, where, except for short
interval, he resided up to the time OF
his death. The resolutions of the Bar
of Wake county hereafter to 0e pre-
scented, will speak in fitting terms of
his career as a lawyer. Homo, able in
the practice, skilled in cross-eXamina-
ton, powerful as AN advocate and de-
voted always to the interests of his eli
ents, his career at the bar was a sue
cessful one.
He was the Democratic candidate for
Congress in 1853, but on account of
the division in the party, caused by the
candidacy of two of its fayorite sons,
the district elected the Hon. Sion II.
Rogers, a Wing,
In 1861 he was the candidate for the
convention, and shortly thereafter was
commissioned as an army officer in the
Confederate army, with the rank of
Major.
In 1867. after the close of the war, he
removed to Memphis. where he pFac-
ticed his profession for few years,
but his love for his native State con-
strained him to return to his old home
after short sojourn. He was in the
regular practice of his profession up
to few years since, when the infrmi-
ties of age compelled him to retire.
Early in life he married Miss Ma
tilda Gorham, one of the bellies of Pitt
county, and their union has been bless
ed with a number of children. Of his
life as a husband and father, it is per-
haps not fit that we should speak here.
United in heart and soul, perfect in
affection, in tastes, in sympathies, mar
rage was indeed with him one grand
sweet song.
Major Lewis was man of strong inn
pulses, abiding faith, an affectionate
disposition, an upright citizen, loyal
son of North Carolina and of the South,
and was always Jealous for the honor
of his profession; a man in whose up
RICHNESS one could trust implicitly.
He lived and died devout member
of the Baptist church, and his many
charities are now most affectionately
remembered by his brethren of that de-
nomination. J. b. B.
