AGAINST HIS WILL

REIDSVILLE, N. c., June 15,-Mr. w.
G. Swami. the operator at Pelham, who
was responsible for the wreck last Thurs
day, was on duty against his will when
the horrible accident occurred. He has
for several years been so afraid that some
such calamity might result from n mis-
take of his that he has been unwilling to
work for the railroads as operator. He
has the sympathy of his friends In his
misfortune. There are but few better or
safer operators in tho service, and the sad
affair for which he is responsible makes
It palmer than ever that this division OF
the Southern must have a double track.
The newest progressive concern at
Stray is '"Ihe Chemical Manufacturing
Company" This company is yet In its
infancy, but has already placed on the
market valuable product to be used in
textile mills, known as Evans Sizing

PEONAGE CASES
Special Charge Delivered to the Grand
Jury by Judge Jones.


(By Associated Prcss)
MONTGOMERY, ALA. June l5.-Judge
Thomas Jones, in the United States Court
here to-day, delivered a special charge
TO the grand jury investigating the poem
age cases. in which he took occasion to
say that these cases were by no means
general, but confined to two or three coun-
ties. The court instructed the jury as
to Its duty in the premises. urging In
dictments in all cases where the laws had
been violated.
The sensational part Of his charge was
his declaration in response to request
of the jury for construction of the Ala
bama statute known as the Seymour con-
tract law, which permits any person TO
confess judgment for costs against per-
sons convicted OF misdemeanor and re-
curing such person SO convicted TO for
felt his liberty and be imprisoned for
debt or offer to serve master to pay
his debt,
Judge Jones held that all connected with
such conviction and hire of such convict
except the committing magistrate, are
liable to Indictment under the Federal
statute.

All we have to say is that West Hawaii

reasonable view. The people of Ha-
