Miss Zaidee Crump's Injuries.

The GOLD LEAF last week mentioned
the serious burning of Mrs. o. c.
Crump and her daughter Miss Zaidee
at their home in Windsor, Va. From
the Windsor correspondent of the
Suffolk Herald we get the following
particulars:
Miss Zaidee had hidden her parents
goodnight, and taking large lamp in
her hand, started across the hall to her
own room, when, without warning, the
lamp exploaded, scattering the burning
oil all over her clothing and verything
else. The fluid blazed furiously, and it
was only through the superb human efforts
OF her devoted parents that Miss Zaidee
was saved from horrible death. The
fire about her person and the room was
finally extinguished by their heroic and
desperate efforts with blankets, rugs, etc
Miss Crump is painfully burned about
the face, throat, ear, the entire length of
one arm, and both hands. Mrs. Crump's
left hand and arm suffered very severe
burns.
Later Information is to the effect
that the young lady's injuries are Of
such character that it is feared she
cannot recover. If her life is spared
she will be terribly disfgured and it
is thought one of her arms will have
to be amputated. Sad and awful !.
In the dreadful calamity that has
befallen them the family have the
deep sympathy of many friends.

Messrs. j. H Hamilton and Robert
Clark, of Charlotte. who have been
here several weeks putting in auto
matte sprinklers for fire protection
at the Henderson cotton mills, finish
ed up their work and returned home
last Friday. Beside the sprinklers
some changes were also made in the
hydrant system and more perfect
protection from fire than the mill is
now provided with would be difficult
of conception or arrangement.
The d. \. Tompkins Co, OF Char
lotte, were the contractors and the
work was done by their representa-

manner. MeSsrS. Hamilton and Clark
are capable and conscientious work
men and agreeable gentlemen. and

EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-Fire destroyed
the Westinghouse of Harriet Homer,
colored, last Wednesday morning.
Three little children. who had been
left there alone, had locked the door
and gone out to play, and shortly
thereafter, they saw the house going
up in flames. The house with all it's
contents was consumed almost en-
tirely before any assistance arrived.
The body of Mrs. w. r. Ray, of
Gravstone, was brought here Satur-
dav for burial. She formerly lived
here and her mother, Mrs. Everett,
died and was buried here some years
ago. The body was accompanied by
the sorrowing husband ard other
relatives and friends. Rev. B. C.
ALFRED conducted the services.
Mrs. Noy Mastin, of Middletown,
New York, arrived Saturday to spend
several weeks with her mother, Mrs.
Regina Reid. She has many friends
here who are glad to see her after an
absence of several years.
Mr.. Peyton Ellis returned Saturday
from Raleigh. AS noted in last week S
letter, he went to have a pistol ball
extracted from his hand. The opera
ton was entirely successful. Peyton
is preserving the ball as a souvenir
of an incident that might have been
far more serious.
Mr.. William Kimball, OF Creed
more, came Sunday to visit his
daughter, Mrs. B. c. Alfred. He re-
turned Monday.
Mr. Ed Reid, of Lenoir, came Fri
day to be here with his sister, Mrs.
Mastin.
Sunday night some one broke into
Mr.. j. w. Moore's store. There
were evidences that an effort was
made to rifle the safe, but the would
be robber was probably frightened
away by some passer-by. Some
snuff, small quantity of canned
goods, and an inside key were the
only articles missed.

spent the Sabbath with the Taber-

pastor Simms. 1t was Joy to the peo-
pie to have their first pastor with

very refreshing. From an experience
of more than forty years, he spoke of
spiritual things in way to do all
hearts good. A number of friends
from the Legislature were present,
and to see the meeting of old friends
at the close of the service was sight
to do ones heart good. The Doctor
was impressed and pleased with the
growth of the church. and seemed to
enjoy the dag as only one can who

AMERICA AS A WORLD POWER,
Sir William Wilson Hunter Says in
Colonial Work 1t Has Great Advan-
taQeS.

LONDON, March 5.-In the intro
duction to his new history of British
India, to be published tomorrow, Sir
William Wilson Hunter, former MEM
Der of the Indian legislative council
and the former president of the In
dian education commission, referring
to the advent of the United States as
a colonizing power, says:
"America starts upon her career of
Asiatic rule with an amplitude of
resources and a sense of moral re-
sponsibility which no previous state
of christendom brought to the work.
In her splendid and difficult task she
will be trammeled by no Portuguese
inquisition of the sixteenth century,
nor by the slave colonization of Hol-
land in the seventeenth, nor by the
cynical rule for gain which for a
time darkened the British acquisition
of India in the eighteenth.
The United States, in the Gov
eminent of its dependencies, will
represent the political conscience of
the nineteenth century,"
