ENGINEER WATSON
Meets Death In Collision With q
Loaded Flat Car on Ssaboard Air
inc

An accident occurred on the Sea-
board Air Line about two miles this
side of Raleigh Tuesday morning by
which Mr.. James r. Watson. one of
the oldest and best engineers on the
road, lost his life. The Raleigh
Times gives the following particulars:
This morning at two O'Clock Engi-
neer James r. Watson met his death
like hero with his hand on the
throttle Of his engine.
The Sea board Air Line fast mail
train from the South arrived in Rail
eigh at 80 O'Clock this morning and
Mr.. Watson took charge of the engine.
Just beyond Crabtree bridge. two
miles North Of Raleigh. there is a
sharp curve in the track. When the
train turned this curve without
warning the engine dashed into fiat
car, loaded with railroad stills. which
was standing on the track. The
heavy timbers crashed through the
engine. battering to pieces the cab.
It seems that fiat car loaded with
lu Der had run out of the siding at
two miles where it struck the grade.
After going up the grade for some
distance gravity started it down the
hill again and it was then that il
met Mr.. Watson's train on a SHARP
curve. As the two collided a large
sill crashed through the front win
dow Of the cab and struck Mr.. Wat
son on the neck just below the chin
breaking his neck and instantly kill
ing him.
MIR. Watson was standing mo
ment before with his hand on the
throttle, but in the crash he wa
knocked from the cab and his necl
broken by sill. The fireman was
bending down Immediately in from
of the fire box and this protected him
and saved his life.
| The train came Immediately to
dead stop and fortunately none o
the passenger coaches were derailed

MR.. ATWATER'S CANDIDACY
Raleigh Times.

So eX-Congressman Atwater wants
to see how few votes he will get in
this Congressional district. He au-
nOunces that he will run as an indie
pendent against Congressman POu
and gives out a platform which is
simply ridiculous from a political
standpoint. OF course no one will at
tach any Importance to the enuncia-
ton of the "beliefs and principles of IA
man who changes his politics with
every shifting breeze. Besides he
cannot expect any votes of Republi-
cans with convictions when his plat
form announced is squarely against
their principles and he certainly can
not get enough Democratic votes to
elect him. What the gentleman
from Chatham is thinking about no
one can imagine, unless his political
head has become added.

Poisoning the System.

A Goldsboro firm of blacksmiths

on a hole digger, which promises to
prove invaluable to farmers and
others who have holes to dig. The
utensil is made round in shape with

NOTHING COMES BY WAITING.
New Berne journal.

New Berne journal.
The saying that "everything comes
to him who waits" does not mean
that the sitting down fellow is the
one that gets all that he wants.
Waiting. in the above saying. does
not mean idleness or dreaming, or
wishing for something to take place.
1t means eagerness in going after
aud persistence in following up the
something of value to the person
seeking it.
like, for the opportunity to come
along and fall at his or her feet. never
sees he realization of such hopes.
Tine present age is peculiarly q
striving one. in the language of the
times it is ''strenuous age" and
only the persistent seeker can expect
to gain anything. and then only by
strong effort and work.
1t is only necessary to look about
to see what produces success and
what gives failure.
The person who reaches out after
business, by advertising or personal
effort, gets the trade and the profits
therefrom.
The town or city which presents
its commercial possibilities gets the
investor and his money, and thereby
its own commercial advancement
and building mp.
Note the waiting merchant who
does not advertise and seek out for
trade through personal going forth
after it!
Note the town or city which makes
no effort to gain the attention Of the
outside business world and the world
of progress.
Distinct failure will be found in
both, and very few notice or care
that the first drops out OF commercial
circles. and the second is unknown
in the investment world.
There is failure in waiting. but in
going forth to seize. to obtain the OBJ
ject, there is every chance of success.

A MONUMENT TO JOSIAH TURNER,
Progressive Farmer.

The Shelby aurora endorses our
suggestion that monument should
be erected to the memory of Josiah
Turner, the old hero who died at
Hillsboro last October. Says the
-AurOrd:
I'VE have never wanted for men to
fight for the people and a party when
there was pelf to be peddled as a re-
ward for services, but Joe Turner's
fight in the interest of his native
State in reconstruction days was
neither for reward or hope of reward.
He exemplified the highest ideal of a
patriot. He did not only dare to do,
but his very example inspired the
highest courage in others. making
possible the easier defeat and over
throw OF the States worst enemies.
Joe Turner deserves a shaft whose
granite summit shall kiss the clouds. -
