and brakeman Bragg was killed instant
~. His body was brought to this city

lieved that something like a cloud burst
occurred about IL o'clock at that point
and washed the track away. A freight
train passed over the spot only about
three hours before the wreck of No. AZ
and there was nothing wrong at that
time. The place where the accident oc-
Cured was on a trestle eight feet high

unusual thing for water to reach it. The

MR.. WALTER H. PAGE COMING
TO THiH NORMAL.

The coming of Mr.. Walter III. Page to
North Carolina to deliver the annual
address at the commencement of the
Normal and Industrial College at
Greensboro will be hailed with pleasure
by the people of the State.
Mr.. Page is one of the strongest and
ablest of the younger generation who
have grown to manhood since the war
He has head full of ideas, and original,
progressive and striking ideas they are.
He loves the State with a truly filial
affection, though his lines of late years
have fallen In other sections. Though
absent from the State, he is present
in the spirit, ambitious for the growth
and development of the States every in
terest.
The success of the Normal and Indus
trial College is particularly pleasing to
Mr.. Page because he has much faith in
the usefulness of such instruction, and
was among the first TO set the ball in
motion in North Carolina for a departure
from purely classical curriculum to prac-
teal and industrial instruction. 1t will
do his heart good to see the spectacle of
four or FIVE hundred young women pre-
pairing to become useful and active work
ers in North Cardinals industrial and
educational vineyard And he will give
them something to stimulate to highest
endeavor. There are few men anywhere
who have a more striking method of pre-
senting ideas, whether with his tongue
or his pen.
Mr.. Page made the Forum. He took
it when ii was losing venture, and
established it upon the highest plane.
He is now connected with the Atlantic
Monthly, the leading literary magazine
paper in America. None but man of
scholarly tastes and superior genius
could secure such recognition as he has
received in his special field of labor.
North Carolina is proud of him and
will give him warm welcome.
