Among the Railroads.

Robert Flake young white man of
this place, but who has been in Rock
ingham for some time, had his left leg
cut off Just above the ankle last Satur-
day night, at Lilesville, by the west
bound Atlanta special. Young Blake
was beating his way from Rockingham
to Wadesboro. He was riding on the
blind baggage, which is next to the
tender of the engine. At Pee Dee an
other person boarded the blind baggage
and rode with Flake until Lilesville was
reached, whre the accident happened.
Flake claims that this unknown passen-
ger, who seems to be a myth, as he has
Tot since been seen, uncoupled the en-
CINE from the coach as the train pulled
into Lilesville which threw him forward
the car running over his leg.-Wadesboro
Messenger and Intelligencer.
MIR. H. w. Campbell of London, pre-
siding at the meeting of the Southwestern
Railway, said that while the United
States had nine times more railroad
mileage than Great Britain. the latter
carried twice as many passengers, or
about eighteen times as many per mile
of railway. The returns of accidents
Mr.. Campbell further remarked, were
considered unusually instructive. Not
a single passenger was killed in Great
Britain during 1903, while 249 were killed
in the United tSates that year, and 467
passengers were injured in Great Britain
in 1901 against 4,129 injured in that year
in the United States.
While the railroad companies are public
to protect it's citizens, our legislators
should make some provision for seeing
that proper machinery and rolling stock
is being used The frequent reports of
delays by breaking downsaad wrecks is a
warning that there is a screw loose. A
commission of machinists should look af-
ter this The lives of our people are
more important than handsome union de-
pots though both are desirable.-Winstor

Chapel. MAY BE MOVED
Directors of Bethel Settlement Con,
slider Question of Seeking Y
New Field.

The directors Of Bethel Settlement, 1416
Second street S, one of the chapel
branches of, Plymouth Congrega II tional
church,, are collecting data preparatory
to a, consideration Of the question OF re-
moval from the present place.
Since Bethel chapel was started more
than a score Of years ago. the work has
grown, until no wit is regular settle
ment and larger quarters are needed.
The question has arisen whether the best
results will be obtained by remaining at
this point. The character Of the city has
changed. Bethel. which once was in the
midst Of dwelling neighborhood, is now
hemmed on three sides by railroad yards
and industrial plants, and the ultimate
removal OF the dwelling houses from the
plats near at hand is expected.
Facts are being secured as to the cost
of sites and buildings. and figures as tc
the probable future population of the city
in the neighborhood which now supplies
the attendance of. the Sunday school and
different institutions of the settlement.
