Mr.. Q. P. Murray is succeeded as fore
man of the Seabcard shops in Raleigh by
our new march who comes from Roa-
noke. Va. He was formerly with the
Baldwin Locomotive Works.
M. James S. Williams, of Leland, N
c., Car Inspector on the Southern Rail-
way, was crushed to death in Columbia,
s. ., Monday. The young man was re-
pairing car. being underneath at work
on the wheels, when shifting car came
along and moved that with eleven other
cars. Both legs We're mashed off mid
way the hips.
The delay in the opening of travel
southwark is giving some concern to the
southbound trains. Usually by the first
of November there is an exodus from
the cities Of the North to the far South,
which lasts until well into December.
The weather this year has been unus-
ually fine for the season, and the people
Of the North find it very comfortable in
the home latitude. Such weather cannot
be expected to last long, however, and
the southwark flight will begin soon.

CAPT. PARKER OPENS
ARGU MENT FOR
SCHlEY,
Continued from First Page.)

sound is for you gentlemen of the court
to say, not with the information that has
come since, but with the light that the
Commodore had at the time"
Captain Parker regarded the djsuatch
of Nay rs from the Navy Department
as uncertain.
Quoting from the dispatch he read:
THE Department oloks to you to ascer-
tain facts Didn't the Commodore
ascertain facts he asked.
And that the enemy therein does not
leave without decisive action" he con-
tined reading. We'll, was there not
decisive action he asked.
The poor old Spanish admiral came
wit This flags flying gaily at his mast
heads on that Sunday morning and be-
fore ! o'clock of that day he saw his
ships on the beach, burning blowing up.
and all destroyed. He came on board
the American ship without shoes for his
feet, or hat for mis- head, and a pair of
drawers and an undershirt. Decisive
action Was there anything that was
more decisive than that?'
Then he took up Commodore Schley's
dispatch forwarded by the Harvard and
defended the position taken by the Com
modore in that message. He then re-
ferred to the sentence in which the Com
modore informed the Department that
he had beer unable to obey orders,
earnestly as all have striven" IF a
subordinate informs us that he is unable
TO obey orders we do not charge him
with disobedience. We may censure
him fer bad judgment" he continued
sb,,t
Failure under such circumstances is
not always disobedience. We can look
back and see how we could have done diff
ferently. Now, l say that Commodore
Schley never had any orders. 1t was
merely a suggestion as to what he should
do. He was to find out if that squadron
was there and TO see that it did not leave
without decisive action. Even if true
that the Commodore committed gross err
rors of judgment, which | do not admit,
but even if true, he had no motive but to
do his whole duty as from the beginning
he had always done it-no more, no less"
Concluding his remarks for the day
Captain Parker said he did not think the
Colon could have been sunk in the har-
Dor.
There is one little incident about he
mater. We are permitted to go up to the
first of June, and we see by the log of the
Colon that she was there until 1926. At
o'clock in the morning the commander
in-chief. Admiral Sampson, came there
and the Colon was pointed out to him,
and there she lay for four hours and a
half without gun being fired at her.

Dewey, and without giving the Captain
an opportunity. TO conclude the sentence

many people in Tarboro All were con-

make a short crop. All seemed to be
concerned over possible scarcity of Ia

THE NEGRO IN HOT WEATHER.
lie Likes the Heat ON His Head, But
He Tries TO Keep His Heel
Cooi.

II has often been said that the capac-
ity OF the negro race for enduring heat
has never been fully tested. An acci-
dent related by q dairyman living on
the outskirts of the city seems to bear
out this assertion. He has n young
negro boy who looks after the cattle
and does chores around the place. The
only effect that the heat produces in his
case Is n desire to slumber. The dairy
man had a young calf in the b%arnyard,
and ms the SUIT was pouring in on the
poor animal his wife cent "Car,iun" out
TO turn the calf loose. so that be could
seek IA shady spot. After Whiting an
hour for his return the housewife went
to the %barnylrd to investigate. There
she found both boy and calf curled up
in the hot and sitting barnyard. The
calf was dead from the effects of the
sun, but the boy was slumbering peace
fully by lis side, says the Jacksonville
O'la.) Tlmes.Union.
While n negro can stand any amount
Of heat on his head, he loves 10 cool his
heels. II is n common sight in the win
ter to see a negro boy on a frosty morn
ing with his head bundled up to keep
out the cold, and ut the same time walk
ing unconcernedly along the frosty
ground in his bare feet. One Of the hot
test places in the city OF a hot day Is at
the lumber wharves Of the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsula railroad. When the
men knock of for noon they frequently
take a nap with their faces uptuned to
the rays of the blazing sun; AT the same
time they get their feet under the shad-
ow OF some friendly lumber pile.
