most seriously injured were taken. The
condition of Clarendon Goodwin, sixty
years DID, who was lin charge of the United

the storehouses, is most critical. He is un-
conscious most of the time. Mr.. Goodwin
is the man who endeavored to remedy a
leakage of nitro glycerine, and whose act
in pouring nitric acid, in mistake for wa
ter on the leakage, is thought to have
caused the explosion. Two of the injured
who late last night were reported to have
died, are yet alive.

every description are kept for exchange

the books shopping, as the stamps are
given by merchants when the customer
requests them.
The Trading Stamp Company's store is

goods that it is treat to visit the estab-

all times. Mr.. Lewis A. Miller, formerly

Washington, ID. c., Trading Stamp Com
pany, is in charge here. Miss Ackers, of
this city, will assist in showing the wares
to visitors. Great taste has been shown
in the selection and arrangement of the
goods.
One of the great points in favor of the
Trading Stamp Company is the fact that
customers who get trading stamps pay no
more for goods purchased than those who
receive no stamps and the merchants who
give stamps to customers are among those
who give the best goods at the lowest
prices.
The new store is well worth visit and
it is novel to find business house where
ones cash will not buy the goods on sale.
Saturday will be the opening day and
books and ten free stamps will be given
each visitor Among the articles to be
given in exchange for trading stamps are
clocks, lamps, vases, cut glass in all
shapes, desks, rocking chairs, tables,

fact almost anything useful and artistic.
The opening will be novel and will be

The above Is q very serious charge, and
should be Investigated fully We wonder
what county that is in North Carolina,
and believe thete must be some mistake
about it There can't really be any

Biblical Recorder ought to name the
county, and call upon the solicitor to
prosecute with all possible vigor.

To ASK RE-AEAR|NC
Editor McNeiII's Case is Up
Again.
Hurt While Riding on Editors Pass, He Recoy-
cred Sd, 900, but Suprems Court Re-
versed Judgment,
verssd Jujgm .nt.

Editor w. H. Mcneil, of the Carthage
Blade. was in the city yesterday with Mr.
w. j. Adams, one of his counsel.
He was here with a petition to the Su-
preme Court asking for re-hearing of his
case, upon which an opinion was handed
down during lie last term of the Supreme
Court.
Mr.. Mcneil, as many will remember
was severely injured in wreck on the
Durham and Charlotte Railroad on April
9TH, 1900, while travelling on an editor S
pass. He sued the road and was given
judgment of $4,000 in the Superior Court
oil Moore county at the January term, this
year, Judge Oliver H. Allen presiding.
The railroad appealed from the judg-
ment, and at the last term of the Supreme
Court the appeal was heard and an opin-
ION handed down reversing the judgment
of the lower court, because the plaintiff
was riding on a pass.
Now Mr.. Mcneil has secured the sig
natures of several lawyers to petition
for re-hearing and within the next few
days this petltlon will be filed with the
Clerk OF the Supreme oCurt. The grounds
on which the hearing is asked are pure
Iy legal questions on which it is claimed
the Supreme Court in error.
Mr.. Mcneil has retained ex-Chief JUS
tice James E Shepherd, of this city, on
his case. His other attorneys, besides Mr.
Adams, are ex-Judge j. ID. McIver, Sen.
u. l.. Spence. of Carthage, and Messrs

The injuries sustained by Mr.. Mcneil
consisted of a fracture to the left arm

Mr.. j. r. Chamberlain says that the
storm of Monday night and Tuesday morn
ing did much damage to a stable at his
l4ace IN West Raleigh. The lightning
tore off many boards and loosened a large
joist. A singular part of the affair is that
many nails were half drawn from the
building and scaffolding will have to be
put up to drive the nails back. A horse
within five feet of where the bolt struck
was not injured.
