A FATAL ACCIDENT.
Mr.. W n. Harris Killed by Fall at
Thomasv Vile

Thomasville
Mr.. W. NJ Harris, Of this city. met
with fatal accident at Tbomasville
at APO p. m. January 10th and died a
few minutes after o'clock the next
morning.
Mr.. Harris was putting up ceiling
on the back porch to the main build
ing of the new Baptist Orphanage at
Thomasville when he stepped eff the
scaffold and fell to the floor, a distance
Of not more than fve feet
His skull wasscracked, besides a
broken wrist and internal injuries.
Mr.. Fl. T. FOUGHT, of this city, was
working near Mr.. Harris but he is un-
able to tell exactly how the accident
occurred or what Mr.. Harris head
struck.
The wounded man was only con-
scious about Is minutes after the &C
cident occurred. At one time he
complained of his wrist hurting him.
He refused to take any brandy as a
stimulant.
A physician and the men who work
ed with him gave Mr.. Harris every
attention but 1t was discovered last
night that he could not live.
Mr. Harris was oI years old the 10Th
day of May last. He has been married
SO years and leaves a wife and chill
dren-4 boys and three girls. He
served on the Winston police force
for several years and made faithful
and popular off1cer.
He went to Thomasville few weeks
ago to work on the Orphanage for Mr..
e. II. Pitts, the contractor.
The remains will arrive here this
The remains were inferred in the
Salem cemetery on the 21st.

OLDEST IN THE SOUTH.

Salem Female Academy and Other
Educational Institutions.
The last issue of the"Academy"s sets
at rest all doubt as to the SalemFemale
Academy being the "oldest female
college" In the South. The Academy
says:
THE question is frequently asked:
Is the Academy the oldest female
college In the South? The Horavian
Church has two Older institutions for
the higher education OF women In the
North, the Bethlehem Female Semi
nary, founded in 1749, and Linden
Hall, founded In 1874. while Salem
Female Academy, the third OF the
series, was not founded until 1905, "a
years ago. There were no other
schools for women ut that date. Miss
Emma Willard opened m academy
1t Watertown, n. z, In 1919, which,
later, became the famous Troy Sem
mary. In 1888, Oberlin College was
opened for both sexes In 1887, Mary
Lyon began Mount Holyoke In Mas
sachusetta, but 1t was 10 years later
before Latin could be introduced, SO
great was the prejudice against 1t.
Smith, Wellesley and Vassar were all
founded later"
