Few Cars and Heavy Travel Make it Difficult
to Enforce in New Orleans
(By the Associated Press.)

New Orleans, Nov 3.-The new State
law requiring street car companies to
provide separate accommodations for
whites and blacks went into effect today
and is being enforced with difficulty
The company has reserved the rear
seats for negro passengers and placed
screens in the cars, but since the re-
cent strike the decrease in the number
of cars operated is so great that all Of
them are generally crowded to the guards
The whites are consequently insisting
upon riding in seats set aside for blacks
and overwhelmed by superior numbers
the conductors are finding it practically
impossible to make the law effective.
Negroes, in many instances, had diff
Guilty in getting aboard cars today There
have been some wordy disturbances re-
sulting from the attempt to enforce the
law, but no arrests have been reported

gies and life to the cause of rescuing the
State from the dangers and perils which
encompassed it. From that time to this,
with your great commission in my hands,
l have pressed forward, sometimes mid
darkness and gloom, in trials and tribu-
lations, cursed and slandered by enemies,
and often-tim criticized by friends, but
never faltering, hoping always for the
dawning of that day in North Carolina
which should have no night
''In 1898 we regained control of the
legislative department of the government.
In 1900 We regained control of the Execu-
tive department of the government. To-
borrow we will regain control of the
Judicial department of the government,
and the Constitutional Amendment, the
Magma Charta of white suprem-
acy, will be established by majority so
great that no man in North Carolina will
henceforth dare lay his impious hands
upon it. When tomorrow's sun goes
down the work of redemption will be
complete, and / shall then lay down my
commission as chairman of your commit
tee that I may give my undivided time
to the great work you imposed upon me
when you commissioned me to represent
you in the United States Senate. AS
chairman of your committee l have given
you my best efforts. AS your Senator you
are entitled to receive and, God being
my helper, you shall receive my best
efforts. When my work here is finished,
when have retired from the conflicts of
life, l shall not remember with most
pleasure the fact that my fellow-country
men have made me Representative and
Senator, as proud and grateful as I shall
ever be of these great honors and dis

nection with my public work,-the proud

which 1 shall leave to my children, will
be the fact that, when the State was to
be saved from the Plutonian night into
which it had passed, l was chosen by
my countrymen to lead in the crusade for
redemption and at your command l took
into my hands your white and stainless
banner and, with the aid of one hun

white men, we planted it upon the high

stay as long as the white men of North
Carolina and their descendants shall con-
tinue to love and cherish home and altar

The speech of the Senator was mas
ter piece, it was a bugle call for a last
grand rally, it was a powerful and pa
thetic valedictory of a magnificent in
dividual force retiring from active lead
ership. 1t was a last general order from
q daring leader who had never faltered
and never lost a battle, it was spoken
to patriots who had followed and fought
with vim and determination, and who
were yet determined to enjoy the fruits
of the victories that had been won and
old Guilford will be in line tomorrow with
fifteen hundred majority.

But for Curie's Quick Application ofAir Brakes
the Passenger Train Would Have Been

Especial to News and Observer. }

Wilson, N. c., Nov 3.-The Atlantic
Coast Line had a serious wreck near Elm
City on Saturday night, in which the en-
gineer, w. w. Currie, of Florence, S. c.,
was killed, and the fireman and two mail
clerks were wounded.
Train No. 35 the fast train from Rich
mond to Florence, ran into local freight
as it was going into the siding. Ten box
cars, one mail car and the engine were
torn up. Traffic was delayed twelve
hours.
The through train was running at high
speed, when Curre saw that a wreck was
inevitable He threw on the air brakes
and this broke the speed, but not in time
to prevent the crash The engine hit

thousand pieces jumped down 6-foot en-
bankment and ploughed its way into the
earth. The mail car following was hurled
from its trucks with such force that it was
driven into the ground. and this, with
the plunging of the locomotive, complete

much damage that the track was blocked
and train 80 did not leave Elm City until
2 p M. Sunday. 1t was said that Route
Agent VOLTS injuries were not fatal and
his escape from instant death was re-
garded as miraculous. Just how others
escaped death is one of those mysteries
which railroad men are unable to solve.
Currie's body was shipped to his home
in Florence.
Beyond bad shaking up none Of the
Passengers were hurt.
Charles r. Flint, of New York, one Of
the passengers, had valuable setter dog
aboard the compartment car, and the box
in which the dog was kept was thrown out
and knocked to pieces. The dog, how
ever, was not hurt and when Mr.. Flint
went out to look after him he found him
guarding his travelling home, just as il
nothing had happened.
1t is the general opinion that the crew
on the local train were responsible for
the wreck.

IN TENTH DISTRICT
Both Parties Claim They'll
Win Today.
The Feeling and the Betting in BunCOmb2 FaI'
Ors Gudgs---The Eighth and Ninth
Districts Safely Democratic.

Especial to the News and Observer.)
Battery Park Hotel, Asheville, N. c.,
Nov. 3.-The campaign in the Tenth Dis
trict closes tonight with both parties
claiming it by good safe majority, the
Republicans placing theirs at fifteen
hundred, while the Democrats put theirs
at twice that amount. At Gu1ger head
quarters the following counties are
claimed for him: Rutherford, 1,OO0 NC
Dowell, 300; Polk, so; Buncombe. 1000;
Haywood, 450; Pennsylvania, 100; Jack
son, 100; Macon, so; Clay, So
The Republicans claim every county in
the district for Moody, except Ruther-
ford, by the following majorities: Bun
combe, $50; Cherokee, 250; Graham, 100;
Clay, 40; Macon, $50; Jackson, 80; Swain,
$50: Pennsylvania, 100; Henderson. 3OO;
Polk, $50; Mcdowell. $50.
The truth lies somewhere between
these two claims with chances favoring
Gudger. The feeling here is that ne will
be elected and the betting is III his favor.
On the result in Buncombe also both
parties are making broad claims. While
the Republicans decline to name any
definite figures they declare that they
will carry the county for their. legislative
ticket, though they admit that the Dem
ocrats will elect part or all of the county
icket. The Democrats on~SAe other hand
are confident of success for their entire
ticket and decline to place their ma
iority at less than fifteen hundred. Mr..
Craig thinks that with proper effort on
the part of Democrats it may go even to
1000 or 2.500
The Ninth District will give Webb a
majority of not less than 5000 and the
Eighth is safe for Kluttzs

First Discovery of Gold.

After careful investigation it has been
determined that the date of the dis
covery of gold in California was Janu-
airy 2Sth, 1S4s. About that same time
there was another important discovery,
which to thousands of people has been
worth more than all the gold, because
it restored them to health, and that is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This
wonderful medicine continues to cure
stomach and bowel complaints, the
same today as in the past, and although
many medicines have come and gone,
the Bitters still remain the peoples
favorite. To those who suffer from dys-
pepsia, indigestion, headache, heart
burn, constipation or biliousness, and
have tried other medicines without
obtaining relief, this remedy will prove
a blessing, because it will surely cure
them. Try bottle and satisfy your
