The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1901-04-16

W4nS6On, 6n6 Biblical Re-
corder says: We do not know Mr..
Jones. Mr.. Winston is we'll known
politician. In his appointment the
Governor was evidently Indifferent
TO the elements supposed to be ssen-
tlaI to that quality designated as
judicial. Mr.. Winston was a MEM
Der OF the General Assembly increas-
ing the number of judgesh1ps. Ordi-
narIly this should deb4r one from
being appointed. We cannot avoid
the impression that the Governor
suffers a distinct loss of prestige by
this appointment.
Messrs. Washington Duke and B.
n. Duke have given So JOG to the
cOlOred race at Durham with which
to establish d hospital. For some
time the leaders of the race in Dur
ham have been agitating the matter
with the result that Messrs. Duke
have become interested and given
the amount named. Work will be
gin in the near future and a first
class hospital will be erected in the
southern part of the city. The
amount given by the Messrs. Duke
will be supplemented by other private
donations. The cost of erecting the
building and equipping the same
will be from $1,000 to SIC, OOO.-Ex.

After a fight of four years against
the fellow servant act the Southern
Railway has finally and deCisively
lost. This fight was made in the
suit of R. L. Wright, administrator
for Wilson Williams, VS.. the South
ern Railway. The case has been
tried six times-three time in the
Superior Court of Rowan, and three
times in the Supreme Court. Wilson
Williams, a brakeman, was killed by
the train jumping the track. The
plaintiff claimed it was the duty of
the railroad to have a good track.
The defense cOntended when they
furnished good rails and cross ties
and a competent section master,
their liability ended. The decision
of the court makes the railroad re-
sponsible for the negligence of their
emplOyes.-Ex.
An odd and pathetic sight in the
court yesterday was the conviction
of two boys, in knee pants, for oper-
Ating an illicit distillery in Yaukln
county. The names of the boys are
Luther and Bennett Holman. They
are each sentenced to one year and
one month in the government refor
matory at Washington, The older
of the two boys received the sem
tence with stolid Indifference. The
other leaned his head against the
railing in the prisoners desk and
wept bitterly. Assistant District At
torney Price attempted to comfort
him by cling him that the reforma-
tory would be a good place for him
