HEAD-ON COLLISION.
Frightful Occurrence on SeabOard Air
Line-Two Engines Demolished and
Two Engineers and Two Firemen
Killed in Wreck Near Southern
Pines Tuesday Morning.


Pines Tuesday Morning.
A terrible head-on collision of two
freight trains occurred on the Sea-
board Air Line a short distance
North of Southern Pines Tuesday
morning in which engineers S. T.
Stewart and ". P. Walls, of Raleigh,
and firemsn Walter Bonds and Char
lie Brewer were killed, and both
engines completely demolished. Com
menting on this the Raleigh Post
says editorially:
The Seaboard suffered the misfortune
of another accident on its line yesterday,
attended by the painful death of two ex-
| cellent men, Engineers Stewart and
| Walls, and two firemen, besides a loss
of propercy. And the distressful occur
renee is due to the unfortunate failure OF
one Of the engineers to observe instruc-
lions as to the meeting point.
Such accidents are as difficult to ac-
count for as they are painful. The
charge of criminal negligence is certainly
! out OF place, because engineers generally
= are IueH Oi iIlOit tilttl
gence and men who appreciate the neces-
| sity for the strictest regulations and as
! strict observance of them for their own
safety Therefore they cannot afford to
be careless when on duty. Yet slip of
q cog in the mental machinery which
cannot be anticipated much less be the
result of Indifference Or thoughtlessness,
occurs, and destruction of property, and
often as in the case yesterday, death
follows.
Both of these engineers were among
| the most trusted within the employ of
the company. Yet, through the unac-
| cOuntable inadvertance of one, both lie
in their coffins!in this city, victims of the
horrible disaster Happy homes are
thus suddenly engulfed in sorrow. 1t is
needless to say that the widows and or
| phans are objects of the sincerest sympa-
thy of the community. Such calamities
are truly, horribly depressing.

! digested FORCE a ready-to-serve wheat

| tains and invigorates.

EFFORT PREVENT 1T.
A Wilmington Preacher Declared
From tht Pulpit That Lyrching
Would be Justified


Wilmington, Del, June 22.-It has
been known all day in this city that
the negro George White would be
lynched tonight. Yesterday Rev.
Robert A. Elwood, of Olivet Presby-
terrain church, told his congregation
that lynching would be justified,
though the father of Miss Bishop is
sued an appeal that the law be al
lowed to take it's course.
The State and county authorities
took no action. The Wilmington
militia was not ordered out, though
it could have reached the scene after
the mob began to assemble in time
to have saved the negro. Police re-
Inducements were not sent to the
prison until after the mob assembled.

We are more heavily taxed by our idle
ness, pride and folly than we are taxed by
government. '-BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
The tax assessOrs and listers are
officials who have duties of great
public Importance to perform and
they should be met in a spirit of CO.
operation and assistance. 1t is
human nature, we suppose, to cher
ish some little desire to escape taxa
tion-a trait which reverts to us
from our savage fOrbears, perhaps
but so long as we must pay, it is IL
far better example to do so graceful
ly and cheerfully, remembering that
the list takers and assessors are in
no wise responsible for the law.
Just taXatiOn-the equal sharing
OF responsibilities the very essence
OF civilization. When a man paws
taxes he pays for the enforcement of
the law, Tor protection against en-
croachments OF his rights, for the ed
ucatiOn of his children, the improve
ments of the age and the continuity
OF orderly and wise government. To
receive these benefits without paving
for them would be to degrade and
debase them, because what is not
paid for i'll some way is rarely APP
preclated and never worth as much
as If some price-either of money,
privilege, love or friendship-had
paid for it.
Too many are prone to rail against
taxation i'll general, when unequal
and therefore unjust taxation is that
which should be condemned. Many
who hate to be taxed by the govern
ment daily lay upon themselves Il
tax lar more heavy and erievous to
be borne. They tax themselves for
games OF chance, for vainglorious
tinery, for pomp and show and admi-
ration, for liquor. cards and selfish
appetite. No protest is entered
against this form OF taxation. but
the assessors and list takers do
sometimes catch the devil.
Therefore go We into the temple.
and there make public declaration
OF all goods and chattels of whatso-
ever nature upon which the State
into the common treasury, that We
may be a good and worthy citizen of
the commonwealth.
THIS being the month for assessing
and listing property for taxation,
the Statesville Landmark calls atten-
ton to the fact that property-real
and personals worth less lust now

within the past twelve months. 1t

The Portsmouth Star says:

Mobs are cruel and lynch law should be suppressed. But it is not well to expend 30 much energy in condemning mobs as to inspire the belief that good men have been lost to the world because those fiends of Wilmington and Belleville have been cruelty killed in a lawless way. They deserved death. Don't forget that.
 This is another view of the case, but it is one which should not be lost sight of Good men and newspapers denounce lynching as violation of law. as a sub version of order and defiance of Cow ernment, but we should not allow that to blind us to the horrible and brutal crime for which White was lynched. In our condemnation of mob law we forget that an infinitely worse crime was committed by the wretch who was lynched. That he deserved death none can deny. That he received it promptly and in the way he did may not be approved. but 1t was to be expected.

A CONNECTING LINK.

There recently died in Indian Territory a woman who connected Indian life in the early days of Alabama with the pres ent tribe in the far West. She was one of the Creeks who were expatriated nearly seventy years ago, at which time she was almost a middle-aged woman, for her age at the time of her death is given on good authority as 1O1 years. The Indian Journal, which mentions her death, does not tell what section of Alabama was her original home. but she may have been on the ground where Montgomery now stands before a city was thought of. She was quite a slip of a girl when the hopes of the brave Creeks were finally crushed by the disastrous battle at Horse Shoe, and some of her family may have been connected with the final but futile effort made by her people in 1886 to retain their homes. She was a relic of an almost forgotten era in the history of Alabama, and if she retained her faculties, she might have told many interesting events and happenings of the days when the In- dian was practically free and untram- melled in this section of the country. It is doubtful if there is one left who began life when she did.

 Edward M. Shepard presents today the best combination of character and avail ability that the Democracy can produce. He is one of the ablest jurists of the New York bar, a statesman whose integ- rity has never been questioned a pub licist whose unselhshneSs has been put to the proof an. orator with the gift of persuasive speech, and withal a man.
 His career has been singularly strik- ing one. He first came into prominence as Democratic lawyer who prosecuted John Y. McKane for election frauds in the interests of the Democratic Party. He sent McKane and several of his henchmen to prison for their crimes and cleansed Brooklyn Democracy of their influence. Then he was nominated by h. dependent Democrats for the office of Mayor as a protest against Boss Me Laughlins methods in fol. ing a nomina- ton upon the party. He declined to vote for Bryan in 1896 on account of the free silver Issue. He believed that the silver issue had been superseded in 1900 and was an able and ardent supporter of the ticket then. He was nominated by the New York Democracy for Mayor of the Great CT City against Seth Low, the Fusion candidate. and in spite of the Tammany, and Devery handicaps made brilliant race that has kept him before the people ever since as a figure of national i'm portance.

The business interests of the country would feel infinitely safer in his hands, while his answering devo- ton to the fundamental principles of De- mocracy would make him trusted of the people to protect their rights.
