Tom Mallory. Il young negro man,
died in the town lookup Saturday
night from the effects of acute alco-
holism-excessive drink. Hehad been
drinking heavily all during Christmas
week and Saturday afternoon, he
took on more than nature could
withstand with fatal result. One
colored man says he saw him take
four drinks of whiskey and two or
three glasses of beer in quick success
sion, and at one place it is related
he drank a pint of whiskey inside of
a few minutes. Previous to the per-
Torrance at the Opera House Satur-
day night he went there and when
discovered he was in an unconscious
condition, face downward and had
vomited quantity of whiskey on
the floor. A policeman was sent for
and he was removed to the lookup.
Half an hour later Chief Malone
went to look after him. He discov-
cred that the man was becoming cold
and orSoutherlandw was notified.
He advised that DR.. Harris. City
Health Officer, be called to see him.
When DR.. Harris arrived, which he
did at once, Mallory was dead-a
plain case of his having killed himself
by excessive drinking.

Preparing for Bigger Business.

Mr.. John D. Stallings, the popular
and successful fancy grocer, is pre-
pairing for bigger and better bust
ness. To that end he has rented the
Lehman store and will occupy the
same after the first OF January.
This is one of the best store houses
in Henderson. 1t is large and airy
with plenty OF light, and being cen
trally located is admirably suited to
this or any other business. The
room has been nicely painted and
reftted and when it is occupied by
Mr.. Stallings we dare say it will be
one of the Eandsomest fancy grocery
stores to be found anywhere. With
more room Mr.. Stallings will be ena
bled to carry a larger and better Sc
lected stock and he is determined to
keep right up to date with everything
in his line.

Tuesday afternoon for New Orleans,
going thence to Nacogdaches, Texas,

Mr.. Prince is with corps of govern
ment experts who are experimenting
with the cultivation of Havana to-
baccO in Texas, the climate and soil
more nearly approaching that of
Cuba than anywhere else they have
found. SO far the work has been
mostly preliminary but the outlook
is very hopeful. Mr.. Prince has been
in Texas about ten months and will
be there another year. He is a
graduate of the North Carolina Agri-
cultural 4 Mechanical College and
has been in the employment of the
United States Agricultural Depart
ment for two years. Previous to that

Suffolk, Va Special to Richmond Times.
To be caught in a driving Wheel OF
a fast passenger locomotive and
whirled round and round like a pow
der-driven "spitting devil and then
escape with your life is an experience
that does not come to many people,
yet that is what happened to sixteen
year-Old Willie Lawrence at Franklin.
Va, yesterday morning.
Willie Lawrence is a son OF Mr.
Mills Lawrence. He was at the sta
ton when the delayed Northbound
Seaboard Air Line passenger train
came through before day Christmas
morning. Standing between the
milan line and sidetrack, his clothing
was caught blythe great driver and
for some distance he was spun about
at the wheels mercy. If he made an
cutlery, none was heard. Fortunate
ly the train stopped at the water
tank and the young man was re-
leased, not dangerously hurt.
