BY Two Boys at a Store In North
view.
Used False Key and Stole $50 in
Money
Warrant issued by Squire Gordon
for Their Arrest.

G. 81 Kidd secured a warrant in
Squire Gordon's court this morning
for the arrest of Harper Cunningham
and a young fellow named Roland, ac-
cusing them of the theft of $50 in
money from his store at Northview
yesterday afternoon. He has missed
money from his cash drawer from
time to time and concluded TO set
trap for the robbers. SO he marked a
lot of money, among which were some
hickels and a $40 bank note. They
stole the marked money and this
morning they offered some of it in
payment of articles bought at Kidd,s
own store. He readily recognized ii
and caught the robbers. They were
accused by him and one of them vir-
tually confessed to the theft. Some
Of the money was recovered. One OF
them is just a little more than le
years of age and the other is not quite
10. Ii appears that they had key
which unlocked the drawer. The
warrant was given 10 Constable Nc
Chung with instructions to arrest the
boys and bring them before the mag
istrate.

Talking About Cotton.

]. H. Parker & Co.'S cotton letter, is
sued on the 25th, is as follows:
"The movement of the new crop has at
last begun, and although it has not yet
reached normal volume, the prices es-
tablished during the long period of strin-
gency have broken rapidly and are now
much nearer spinner's ideas, if they have
not already reached that point. The fig
ures of movement show that the new crop
was unquestlonably three weeks late, and
this fact has made it possible for the high
price to be ma ;ntained in New York almost
to the end of September. The stock of
cotton here is practically controlled by one
close clique, and shorts have had to bring
cotton here from the South to hquidate
their contracts. The demand from this
quarter kept Southern prices up until
about a week ago, when it was no longer
feasible to make shipments from the South
in time to reach here for delivery on Sep
TENDER contracts The moment this spec
ulative element stopped buying spot cot
ton, holders found their market suddenly
restricted to the demand from spinners
or the. alternative of delivery on October
contracts at liz cents per pound less. AS
spinners showed no disposition to hurry
purchases, there has been a sharp break
ing away of prices throughout the whole
South, at the interior and at the ports.
So far, in the adjustment from the Sep
TENDER range of values, there has been a
loss of SO to 20 points, and although some
disposition was shown today by exporters
to begin buying, it is not yet certain
that level has yet been reached which

THE CAUSE OF THE WRECK.

The wreck at Danville, Va, on sun
DAY, was one of the most awful wrecks
OF year prolific in horrible railroad dis
asters. Elsewhere we publish the details
of the wreck and an interview with Vice
President Finley giving his opinion as to
the cause. Of course it is important to
ascertain the cause, both that the rail-
road may avert other like accidents, and
that the question of negligence may be
determined in probable damage suits.
What the people want is an investigation
of such wrecks, free from the personal
interest of any person suing for damages,
that the party responsible, if negligent
may be held to a strict accountability
The public are chiefly interested in de
handing that such precautions shall be
taken as will reduce railroad wrecks to
the minimum in this country as has been
done In France.
There will be difference of opinion about
the cause of the wreck at Danville, but
the recently published statement made
by former employee of the Southern Rail-
way may be in point Asked about the
cause of the increase in the number of
wrecks, he said:
"When they quit employing white men
for fremen, they cut off about the only,
practical source for new engineers. En-
gineers get killed, some die of disease,
few resign; at any rate, new men are
constantly wanted, and as there are no
young men to promote from the shovel
to the throttle, the only recourse is to
go to other roads for men to run the en-
gines. They come to the road and take
a run, with only limited knowledge of
the grade and dangerous places. The re-
suit? Why, everybody knows what it
is.''
When it comes to running train of
heavy cars over hilly country, the new
man may be skilled. but to be safe
man to meet at a passing point he must
know the road perfectly. When you let
man fire a few years, he knows just
what force or precaution is necessary at
certain places. 1t comes by intuition. He
knows who he is meeting; knows how
the man runs. and all about him
The worst thing any railroad can do
is to import men to fill the best positions.
The wisest thing is to train up men in
their service, promote them as they show
themselves efficient, and thereby cause
every man to feel that it is "our road"
Failure on the part of the Southern Rail
way to pursue that policy, the importa
ton of strangers to take places to which
their home men ought to have been pro-
NOTED, and the necessary feeling Of in
justice which such a policy is certain to
thousands of dollars and resulted in the
loss of precious lives.

Carolina divines. now living in other
States, to preach in Greensboro Sunday,
October 18th, the day previous to the Re-

the church to which he belongs.
The Baptists invited Rev. "A. c. Dixon,
d. D., of Boston, and the Presbyterians
invited Rev. Walter W. Moore, D. D., of
the Union Theological Seminary. Both
have accepted. The State is to be con-
graduated upon their acceptance. They
are among the first divines that North
Carolina has produced in all its history.
