providing that when a bond or note
is secured by mortgage but one
cent shall be affixed, of the higher

An amendment to the constitu.

Of the amendment is to eliminate
the ignorant negro vote. To do
this, educational, property and pol,
tax qualifications are prescribed.
But this is made Ineffective as to
white people by the further provis-

A bill to prohibit tight laciug by
women was introduced in the Wis
consin legislature. We are glad to
see our women making these re
ferns themselves and it is seldom
that you run across one tight-Iaced

possible for her to bend over and
reclaim an object dropped from her
lap, or lace her own shoes. Then
again corset makers have worked
wonders in improving the make in
comfort of the same. We are an
advocate of the corset when the

able to the wearer.

Mayor Hardin called the west

A quorum was present and the
council soon got dswn to bust

Mr.. Thompson reported b atch

MIR. Thompson reported that citi-
zens living in the city had mistaken
the manholes to the sewers for
catch basins for old cast off cloth
ing, dead dogs and cats and were
making use of them in cases of this
kind. The city had paid out IN one
week $2I95 to clean out two OF
them. He wanted a remedy de-
vised to stop such practice.
MIR. Grifith, electric light mana.

the city promised to settle regu

He was going to place the old cred

see to the payment of the bills.
Mr, Gus Munzesheimer wanted
permission to establish a lumber

A NEGRO KILLED BY THE TRAIN
A seaboard Engine Runs Into Wagon
Near Asbury.

Tuesday afternoon about O'Clock, the
Seaboard's west bound passenger train
killed an old negro preacher, Isaac Jones,
at a crossing about six miles from here
The negro had been to this city with a
load of cotton seed, which he had sold
and was ON his way back to his home
near Mo1risville. lie was in a wagon,
driving a mule.
Near Asbury station there is an eX,
ceedinely dangerous crossing, for the
reason that it is at the mouth of deep
cut and the engineer acn neither see Il
vehicle nor the driver of a vehicle see the
train um.il he gets on the track.
And this is what Isaac Jones did.
His mule had just crossed the track
when the engine struck the wagon, tore
it to rieces and catching the negro on
the front Of the engine, carried him some
$50 yards before the train stopped.
The negro must have died instantly, as
a great hole was knocked in the back Of
his head
He was taken en- to Cary where his
body was turned over to his brother.
He was buried yesterday at the rail
roads expense.
Isaac Jones was about 40 years old,
and well thought of by those who knew
him. He leaves a wife, who is now con-
fined to her bed with fever, and six
children.

CAROLINA CENTRAL HEARING
Taking Of Evidence in the Fertilizer
Rate Case Begun

In the Corporation Commission office
yesterday Mr.. Il. s. Martin, OF Whining
ton, special master under appointment
of Judge Simonton, began the taking o.
testimony in the fertilizer rate case ON
the appeal of the Carolina Central from
the ruling of the Commission reducing
the present rate 30 per cent and liking
the minimum for car load lots at 10
instead of - tons.
One witness only was heard yesterday,
Mr.. II. w. B. Glover, traffic manager OF
the Seaboard, who was ON the stand all
the afternoon and again at the night SEES
sion. In reply to the questions of attor-
nays on either side Mr.. Glover went at
length into facts and figures bearing ON
the reasonableness of the rate rs fixed by
the Commission. Witness estimated tnat
under this rate the minimum actual loss
TO the Carolina Central during the five
months of the heavy spring haul woUld
be $1,000. For the fall season he put
the actual loss to the road at about one
sixth of this amount In addition he
stated that the reduction of the car load
minimum from Is to 10 tons would force
the road to haul 30 per cent more cars
without a correspondence great increas So
in the tonnage of fertilizers moved. lie
did not feel that the increased tonnage
would to any great extent compensate
for the reduction in rates and the in
creased expense of hauling extra cars.
At the might session Mr. James IL
Pou, for the State, cross examined Mr..
Glover minutely with a view to showing
that the Carolina Central is as we'll able
to bear the reduction in rates as other
lines Of the State and that the rate as
fixed would not be unreasonable or bur
dcnSoIne.
The attorneys for the road are Major
John d. shaw, Of Rockingham; Nc.
