HIS LIFE CRUSHED OUT.
Horrible Accident Monday Morning.
Conductor Lassiter Run Over and
Killed by Train In the Yards Here.

iIOSI1Dle ACCIDENT MONDAY M06Hl0X-
Conductor Lassiter Run Over and
Killed by a Train In the Yards Here.
A horrible accident occurred here
Monday morning by which Captain
Arthur f. Lassiter, freight conduc-
tor on the Seaboard Air Line Railway,
lost his life. His train had just pull
ed in from Raleigh and was on the
main line. Standing between the
tracks Capt. Lassiter was giving direc-
tions to one Of his train crew, a color
ed man on top, about cutting out GER
tain cars. Stepping back so as to
moment on the side track next to the
freight warehouse. At that instant
Engineer Horton with the yard engine
was pushing some box cars down the
track toward the depot. Looking in
the opposite direction from which the
shifting engine was coming Mr.. Las
sitter did not observe these cars ap-
preaching, and the noise of his own
train prevented his being warned in
time by any sound they made or the
shouts of persons who saw his peril
GUS situation a moment or so before
he was struck.
The body was fearfully mangled.
The right heel was cut off, the wheels
passing across the left leg and hip
cutting open the lower part of the
abdomen and side and severing the
left arm. As soon as the accident
was discovered the train was stopped
and the mangled form was dragged
from under the car. A crowd i'm
mediately gathered and four physi-
clans were quickly on the scene. 1t
was seen at a glance that the mans
injuries were fatal. He was removed
to the hotel where he died about l
o'clock, having lived between one and
two hours after the accident. Capt.
Lassiter was conscious up to a few
minutes before he breathed his last
and prayed and talked with those
around him, giving directions about
notifying his people, the disposition
OF his body, etc. 1t was a touching
and pathetic scene, sad and distress
ing in the extreme.
The body was removed to A. L.
Barnes undertaking establishment
where it was prepared for burial, and
taken later to the Eastern part of the
State, Aulander, for interment.
Deceased was about 26 years old
and unmarried. He leaves a mother,
brother and other relatives. He was
a man Of genial nature and cheerful
disposition and popular with his fell
lows. He had been in service of the
railroad five or six years and was
capable and valued employee.

TALL FIGURES TALK,

Nearly 800, 900, 900 a year is paid by the
inhabitants of the United States for coffee.
Customs receipts in Cuba last year
amounted to $15 ,0OO, coo, or 81, 600, 900 more
than the estimate.
The business of the country, as recorded
by the clearing houses last year, was $685.
600, 900, 900, or nearly 800, 900, 900, 900.
The wealth of the United States in tn,
present year of grace is 800, 900, 200. 900, ac-
cording to one estimating expert at Wash
ington.
Citizens of st. Louis classified as en-
ployes to the number of 7,251 have sub
scribed to the st. Louis fair $243, $50, an
average of $34 for each subscriber.
Another good result of prosperous times is
the great falling off the last year in en-
bezzlements, the aggregate in the United
States being $2,21S, 373-the smallest for
years.
The value OF the gold melted down an
nually in this country by jewelers., dentists.
etc, has been estimate at 81, 500, 900, but
this is now believed TO be far too small, and
that the amount really runs up to SO, COO
600 annually. During the last twenty years
some $500 600, 900 of the worlds gold produc-
tion has disappeared from sight in an unac-
countable manner, and the natural SUPPOSE
ticn is that it has been used in the arts.
The milleTs of the United States made
their banner record in the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1899. The total expectation Of
-four was over 5000, 600 barrels, represent
ing over so, 900, 900 bushels of wheat. This
growth in the expectation of -four was noted
with peculiar satisfaction in the face of a
reduced demand abroad for raw breadstufls
wheat, corn, rye, cornmea and oatmeal
as the work required in the transition from
wheat to flour proved advantageous to
American labor and American enterprise.
The most strongly marked growth in export
shipments was toward the Orient, but moro
than 100000 barrels were sent to the
United Kingdom.

THEIR HfGHER MORALITY


At the meeting of the American
Economic association, held at Ithaca
ten days ago, the principal subject Of
discussion was the trusts. The prcsi.
dent of the association, Prof. Hadlcy,
president Of Yale university, declared
that he had little confidence in the
efficiency If governmental supervision
or control of these great combinations
of organized capital. Instead of GOV
crnmcntal control he urged the ncccs-
sity Of a higher morality, which would
lead the trusts to treat the public with
sympathy and justice.
President Hadley plainly has not yet
discovered that corporations have not
souls and the organized classes, as he
calls them, cannot be persuaded to
treat the public with sympathy and
justice by appeals to their higher
morality. The only evidences of their
standard of morality are to be found
in their fraudulent capitalization and
their constituencies crushing out of
competitors by means the individual
business man would be ashamed to en-
ploy. one needs only to read the his
tory of the most colossal of these COM
bincs, the Standard oil trust, the An
thracitc Coal trust and the Whisky
trust. to form an idea of the moral
code by which these concerns are gov
erned. What is true of these monopo-
lies of public necessities is equally true
in a degree of the combinations that
control nearly every field of industry.
The trouble with most of the modern
college presidents and professors Is
that they see everything through The
multi-millionaircs' spcCtaclcs. The mil
liOnaircs make muniticent gifts and be
quests to universities and colleges and
therefore they can see nothing wrong
in the morality by which these millions
have been amassed.
In n spirit of grateful appreciation
and of more grateful anticipation the
collegiate political economists refuse to
believe that any harm can come from
anybody or any concern that has show
cred such benefits upon them and the
institutions hat are through them en-
abled to pay nigh sa/lries and grant
long II frequent vacations.
