Capt. G. B. Guthrie, the affable con-
ductor on the freight train between
Winston and Greensboro, met with a
painful accident at Friendship Satur-
~ night by getting his left hand
caught between two side stills while
coupling two fiat cars.

Greensboro at the time. Half of his
hand, from the wrist, was horribly
mangled.
The engine was cut loose from the
train and Capt. Guthrie put on it and
sent to Greensboro on quick sched-
ule. He was carried to his home where
physicians amputated that part Of the
two last fingers. 1t is feared that the
middle finger will have to come off
yet.
Fortunately Capt. Guthrie has two
accident policies. one for SIS per week
and the other for $40. The Railroad
Company, of course, will pay the bill
of the attending physicians.
1t will be some time before the gen
Ial conductor will able to return to

MIR. BRYAN'S OPINION.
War a Grave Possibility, But is Not
Inevitable

ATLANTA, Ga, March 14-Mr. W.
J Bryan has expressed himself on
the question of the hour, taking a
conservative view. While not depre-
eating its gravity, he said: "War
with Spain, although at present a
grave possibility, l do not regard as
inevitable in consequence of the de.
struction of the Maine. Nations
have frequently before approached
much nearer to armed conflict than
the United States and Spain stand
at the present moment. If, however,
the excitement shall accomplish
nothing more than put our sea
coast defenses in proper condition
something will have been gained"
