cept the machine. II was recommended
three years ago last fall and our system
of work has been very much compliment
ed by people in other parts of the State
and also from other States. We have
now some fifty or sixty miles of road turn
piked, most of it covered with gravel.
and for a county that has no large towns
and no large wealth and worth only about
three million dollars, we hin our sys-
TEN much better thar the costly system

be taxed, and show their Willingness by
being taxed to the limit of 25 cents on the

ON SOUTHERN
At AUBURN.
Brakeman E. J. Sewers at
Point of Death.
Entire Freight Ran Into Locomotive Of Local
Freight Thai Leaves Here at
$50 A. 4 NJ.

) freight train and a locomotive dashed
together at Auburn on the Southern Rail
way early yesterday morning.
AS a result a brakeman E. ]. Sewers,
OF Spencer, a white man, lies tonight IN
Rex Hospital almost at the point OF death,
with a fractured skull.
The way it happened was this:
The local freight No. $50 left here about
the usual time yesterday 6:3o,
on its way to Goldsboro. 1t Auburn the
locomotive left the train and proceeded
to the water tank just below to get wa
ter.
While it stood there an extra freight,
No. $50, beaded west, came laundering
! around the curve just beyond the tank.
1t hit the standing engine an awful
blow that sent 1t back with terrific force.
The jar, strangely enough, only broke
up one car of the long freight train of
some forty cars. On this car, as late
| would have it, stood Brakeman Sewers.
The force of the collision literally mash
ed that car flat from both ends. and
shot Sewers thirty feet into the air. He
fell on his head, fracturing the skull. He
| was unconscious when picked UP, and has
remained so most of the time since.
No one else was injured, and but little
damage lone to either gin One por-
ton of the pilot of the local engine Is
broken away; hat IS all.
The accident occurred at 7:15 a. m,
and the track was cleared by about two
O'Clock III the afternoon.
AS soon as possible after the accident
the injured brakeman was brought to
Raleigh on a special train and taken at
once to Rex Hospital, arriving at 11:c0.
where he was attended by Dr.. II. A
| Register, surgeon for the Southern Railway
here.
] Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock an OPP
: GRAFTON was performed, IN the hope OF
relieving the pressure on the brain caused
by the broken piece 0 skull. Late last
night his condition was reported from the
hospital as very low. The fracture is over
fthe left eye, the eye itself being injuredi
| The cause of the collision is said to
have been misleading of orders.

ACCIDENT ON sEABOARD.
Vestibule No. "a bits Rear Of a Local Freigh!
at Lakeview.

There was a slight rear end accident
on the Seaboard Air Line at Lakevlew,
early yesterday morning, and IN conse-
puence No 81, the vestibule due here at
1925 was about eight hours late.
A local freight was standing on the
main line at Lakeview when the vestibule
came along and hit the rear car.
1t is said the accident occurred from
the fact that the flagman did not go a
sufficient distance back to flag No. 81.
which is the heaviest train operated by
the Seaboard Air Line, and therefore re
CURES a greater distance In which to be
stopped.
Engineer Vaughn, of the vestibule, was
slightly hurt, and his fireman was bruised
by jumping.
The engine of the passenger train was
banged up a little, and the rear car of
the local freight somewhat damaged.

was captivated by it. II proved Mr.. An

pie and would give them the very best
service possible, and that he urged their

COL JOHN S. CUNNINGHAM.
Senator H. L. Goodwin most handsomely
introduced Col. John S. Cunningham as a
great farmer who would address the peo-
pie, that he was able to do so and that he
was the greatest tobacco farmer in the
world.
Col. Cunningham won his audience at
first. He said that he had come expecting
to meet farmers, as Harnett IS a county
ton, but that he found there were many
orators, that one had only to shake a
bush anywhere IN this section for an ora
tor to fall out.
He paid a splendid tribute to Harnett
and Mr.. Dan Hugh Mclean, and then
spoke Of the great value of the Mills rail
road, not alone to Harnett, but the whole
State. Following a discussion of this he
said that IN Harnett there were as good to-
bacco lands as in his own section, advising
the farmers to go carefully INTO It's cul-
ture as a money crop and then diversity.
He told the farmers how to start in and
advised them to get experienced men TO
start off the work. He spoke of Harnett's
fertility being known and Of the value of
the county known throughout the State.
Col. ~Cuningham's hearers were delighted
and he has been requested to return to
Harnett and go into details with regard to
the culture OF tobacco.
THE CLOSING WORDS.
Senator Goodwin next introduced as the
last speaker Mr.. Edward E. Britton, of
Raleigh. The speaker spoke of the new
railroad as being but the starting point
and urged his hearers to so forward, to
build good roads to make good schools
and to take hold of the splendid new OPP
portunities and make Harnett the peer Of
any county in the State. In his remarks
