A VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
Captain James knights Dangerous
Experience With a Runaway Horse.

A horse attached to a cart created an
exciting run away on Red Cross and
Front streets yesterday about 2 o'clock
and Captain Jas. Knight, master Of
transportation of the Atlantic Coast
Line, who was walking along the side
walk at the A. c. L. offices, was
knocked down and had a miraculous
escape from very serious injury. AS it
turned out, he was only slightly bruised
and shocked. Eye witnesses to the ac-
cident turned away in horror, think
ing it would result fatally.
The horse became frightened at a
dray loaded with boxes on Red Cross
street, between Seventh and Eighth.
and dashed down the street with no
one In the cart. When he turned into
Front street, he went across on the
sidewalk, h cart running against
President w. G.. Elliott's horse and
turned the cart over, thereby barely
missing the carriage. Captain knight
was unable to get out of the way and
just as the horse was about to run
over him., the cart caught against a
pole n stopped the animal. If he had
gone two yards further Capt. knight
would have been run over and probably
very seriously injured. Several people
a to him at once and picked him I'D
and in a moment he was able to walk
home. The cart was badly torn up.

lief. 1t has never been claimed that
Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast
out demons, but it will cure rheuma-

the truth of this statement. One appli-

ITO Cape Fear Chapter, United

The office of naval war records in

for some years in compiling and pub
fishing the records of the MO and
confederate navies during the war OF
1861 -65.
Your assistance in obtaining origi-
nails Of all existing confederate records
is earnestly requested. The archives or
the confederate navy We're in great
part destroyed at the close of the war.
and its history a only be made up
from such papers as may still remain
in the possession of individual officers
or their families. 1t is in the highest
degree desirable that these papers
should, as far as possible, be trans
mitted to the department to be en-
bodied in the work now in the course
of publication. In many cases this
hos hnan dome anI x-arr ~ lrta hla ol-
ditions have thus been made to the
record. Much more however. remains
to be done and unless the deficiency
can be supplied, the narrative of many
operations of Importance will remain
incomplete.
I'm justice to the actors themselves
in the great struggle. it is important
that this correspondence should be
embodied in the publication, in order
that all who participated in the war
may take their place in its history. /
therefore ask hat if you have in your
possession copies of letters, reports. re-
turns, or official documents of any kind
whatever relating to confederate naval
operations. whether in the form OF
press copies, letter books, journals,
log books, loose files, or other memo
randa, you will kindly transmit them
to me at the above address. and that
you will give me any assistance ~
your power toward getting informa-
ton or documents from others. | am
authorized to say hat the expense of
transmission will be borne by the de-
partment, and that ali papers, after
having been copied, will be returned
to the owner if he so desires.
Small packages of papers may y
sent by mail under a frank, which will
be enclosed to you on request, and
larger packages by express.
1T is hoped that all who are ir+o~-
ested in the subject, and are in a ~Hsi-
ton to further it, will give their hearty
cooperation towards securing the T
est and most accurate record possible
Very respectfully.

for governor, is leading the great
white supremacy campaign being
waged by North Carolina democracy,
and his able corps of aides-the nomi-

gone, having left behind them such an
impression Dol the people as can but
result in the fulfillment of the prophecy
emblazoned on one of the many strik-
ing -transparancies in the torch light
procession Wednesday night-"New
Hanover County, $500 Majority for
Democracy"
The visit of the state candidates to
Wilmington will certainly be long re-
membered as one of the most notable
demonstrations in the political history
of the city.
The stirring features of the recep-
ton and entertainment of the candi-
dates on Wednesday,, the imposing
torch light procession, the tremendous
ovation by the people to the diStin-
.guished visitors at the opera house
Wednesday night and the brilliant n
fOrcible speeches by the candidates
were in yesterdays Messen-
ger and it only remains to tell of the
entertainment accorded them yeSter-
day forenoon before they left for New
Bern, where they speak today.
1t was about 10 o'clock that the can
didates and quite a party of commit
teemen and invited guests boarded a
special train Hound for Wrightsville
beach and sound. 1t was a source of
much regret that only four of the Wis
iting candidates could go. They were
Hon. g. 3. Aycock, Hon. Robert d.
Gilmer, Hon. B r. Lacy, and Hon. S.
L. Patterson.
The train ran through to the beach
and h party were invited to the cot
tage Of Mr.. G.. Herbert Smith, where
they were entertained for some time.
Then they returned to Wrightsville,
where a SumptuouS oyster roast had
been prepared by Mine Host Stokeley.
This was immensely enjoyed, and
thereafter the visitors We're taken for
a delightful sail ON Wrightsville sound.
1t was i o'clock when the party
boarded the special train for the run
to Wilmington, and just fifteen min
utes later they were stepping off the
train at Wilmington station
At 2:25 o'clock the candidates left the
city via the w. and n. road for New
Bern. Each of them expressed the most
hearty appreciation for the courtesies
which were accorded them during their
stay in the city.

Der Company, and Mr.. ]. A. AIRING
dale, Of the Cape Fear Lumber Com
pany, returned yesterday from Nor
folk, where they went to attend a ses-
sion of the North Carolina Pine Asso-
citation. They report a very satisfactory
session. The matter Of most interest in
this section, considered by the asso-
citation, was an agreement. which they
adopted, for all the mills connected
with the association to run only two
thirds time; that is, close down on
Friday and Saturday Of each week.
This is done to prevent an over-pro-
production of timber, and thereby
maintain the prices at their present
very satisfactory status. This change
will reduce h output of the mills 80
per cent.
The Cape Fear and Angola Com
panies are the only ones in this city
which are members of the association,
but The Messenger is informed that
the Hilton Lumber Company has also
joined In the agreement to run two
thirds time n also to cooperate / n
