HOT TIMES AT HENDERSON

A Sensational Shooting Affair-lnsur-
ance Man in Trouble.
The town of Henderson is having it
lively these hot days.
And yesterday it had more than it's
share of life and excitement, such as
it was.
One insurance man was put in jail
for beating lverymen. and, it is sus-
pected, forging checks.
Another was shot at six or seven
times by an injured husband whom the
Insurance man believed to be in Louis
burg. The shooting occurred about q
o'clock yesterday morning. as the insur-
ance man was going 10 the other man $
house.
When the firing began the insurance
man ran and hence no one was hurt.
Other sensational developments are
looked for.

FAILED TO TAKE APPEAL
ATTORNEYS NEGLECTED. TO
FILE PAPERS ON TIME.
THE SERVICE MADE FOUR DAYS LATE
The Plaintiffs D. cline to Allow their Attorneys
to Waive Any Rights that they May
Have Acquired by this
Negligence.

After five years in the courts the
damage suit of the HYGIENE Plate Ice
Company VS.. the Raleigh and CASTOR
Railroad Company has suddenly come
to an end.
As result the Seaboard Air Line is
$4,000 poorer and Henry Bayer T.
Son, of Charleston, are over $4,000
richer
The suit ended in a manner that no
one expected, but it is none the less
dead than if it had breathed its last
taking off is due to the neglect Of the
Seaboard attorneys to file their case on
appeal in the time allowed by court.
Something like FIVE years ago the
Hygiene Plate Ice Company's factory
here was burned The company alleged
that the fire originated from spark
thrown out by Raleigh and CASTOR
Railroad engine. and accordingly they
brought suit against that road for dam
over $4,000. The case has been on the
docket ever since.
AT the last term of Wake Superior
court it came on for trial before Judge
Brown. The jury brought in a verdict
against the railroad for $4,000, interest
from date of the Judgment and costs
amounting in all to about $21, 900. The
defendant appealed to the Supreme
court. Ten days are given by law
In which to file the case on appeal, but
as the evidence was very volumious
counsel for the defendant railroad asked
for thirty days additional. The re-
quest was granted.
This forty days expired Thursday: no
case on appeal had been filed and no
extension of time had been asked Fri
day and still no papers, and counsel for
the plaintiff conferred as to what should
be done. Saturday and Sunday passed
and still no case on appeal was served.
In the meantime the plaintiffs Bayer
& Son were communicated with. They
rights il the appeal had not been taken.
II had not been taken and was not un-
til. yesterday afternoon, at 6 o'clock.
four days later. The case on appeal was
then served, but this service amounts to
nothing, as plaintiffs counsel was no
longer in position to waive any rights
their client might have.
And so the case ends.

Importance of every step in this ;!rcc
ton, and that they will cooperate with
us in this philanthropic work
1.-THE Southern Railway" said an oh
servant travelling man the other day, is
trying to make the Jim Grow Car law
unpopular with the white people. 1T is
easy to see that it is making play
for popularity with tha negroes AMI
unpopularity with the white peGp:".
Then it has already set its papers re-
announcing that the law is failure:
that the negro gets the only advantage
there is in it and the white folks get
the discomfort. And all this is done
in the hope that the next Legislature
may he induced to repeal the law. But
it will never do it,
1t is suggested that the old AMI new
military companies meet and fight out
their differences. The suggestion, how
ever. comes from man who, in such
event, would be Il -combatant, and
is not likely to meet with favor from

London Leader: In summer brain
workers find it more difficult to sleep
than at other seasons. The latest ex-
PLANTATION of the cause of sleep is one
which has met with approval by lead
ing physicians. An examination of the
tissue near the outer surface of the
body by means of a microscope dis
plays an immense number of small SEN
sorry nerves. These minute tendrils lie
adjacent to the skin of the body, and
during consciousness touch it suffi-
GENTLY to supply sensation over the
entire area. When we sleep these little
nerves have been observed to coil up,
or at least move far enough away from
the skin to lessen sensation there. The
movement of these nerves, which is. OF
course. slight, has been observed, Civ.
ing rise to the supposition that if a
stimulating drug or influence is used
the nerves remaining in contact with
the skin keep us awake,
