term Of court was for the trial of this
case His Honor said he knew of no
clamor to have the case stand But to
take the facts set out in the affidavits he
saw no reason why the defendants could
not receive a fair trial. His Honor said
further that if there is a public clamor
for trial it would not be wise to try the
case and that he would give further time
to prepare affidavits showing the condi-
ion of public sentiment.
Five o'clock this afternoon was set as
the time for further hearing Of this case.
THE EVIDENCE CLOSED.
Promptly at five o'clock His Honor asked
counsel of defendants if their affidavits
were ready To this answer was made in
the affirmative by Mr. S. A. Woodland. After
reading several affidayits signed by quite
number of Wilson county people. the
State offered counter affidavits, showing
that there was, in the opinion of those
signing these affidavits, no inflamed public
sentiment and no reason why the de-
PENDANTS could not get fair and inn
partial trial at this term of court
With the filing of these affidavijs the
court. announced that all the evidence in
the case was closed. and that a decision
as to continuance would be rendered later.
Court was then adjourned until tomor-
row at ten O'Clock.
Later: l have just seen Judge Shaw
and he says no decision viii lbe rendered
tonight as to the continuance.

cross fire of words between him and
Principal Cosbie, of Salisbury, while Rev.

speech denied that consolidation was best

was ended by Principal E. E. Smith pro-
posing resolution of thanks to the

and promising ready acquiescence in his
determination in the matter.
The Board will not act for some time,
perhaps month. in regard to the matter.
From expressions used yesterday it would
hardly seem that if there were any con-
solidation this would decrease the normals

of the matter say that the number will
remain at seven and no change will be
made.

SCALDED BUT LIVES
Terrible Agony of Engineer
in the Wreck.
Thomas Enniss on The Seabosrd Terribly In
iured in Wreck Near Norlina Sum
day Morning.

Engineer Thomas Ennis, of this city,
barely missed death early Sunday morn
ing in a wreck near Norllna.
This took place at four o'clock Sunday
morning and Mr.. Ennis was brought to
the city Sunday afternoon. He was suf-
fering terribly from the scalding he had
received.
The freight train, of which he was en-
gineer, was coming south and it ran into
a gravel train. 1t is understood that this
was caused by the failure of the gravel
train to move off quickly after the flag
man had been blown in.
The signal came from the gravel train
engine for the fiagman to leave the track
and catch his train. He came ahead, but
in the meantime the freight with Tom
Enniss on the engine came flying around
a curve.
1t was too late to stop and the fireman
jumped The engine of the freight
smashed into the rear of the gravel train,
splintering the caboose, but the engine
kept the track.
Engineer Ennis was damned In the
wreckage of the engine and it was some
time before he could be found and gotten
out. The scalding steam was pouring over
him, about his face and his body and the
agony was intense.
Finally he was rescued and was cared
for at Norlina His relatives here were
telegraphed ~ and wife and sister
went to Norlina to join him. He was
brought to, the city Sunday afternoon and
taken to his home on North Salisbury
street
His face and neck are terribly scald-
ed, as is his body from his chest down,
and also his legs. One arm is badly
scalded, and this is especially so about the
wrist of the right hand. His face was
badly puffed up and lis feared that his
eyesight may be impaired.
He suffered terribly on Sunday night,
but yesterday he was much better, and
the last report from him last night was
that he was doing well and resting much
easier The wreckage to the train was
not very great, being principally to the
engine, which kept the track The ca
boose was badly smashed.
No one was hurt but Mr.. Enniss in the
wreck, the colored foreman escaping by
jumping in time.
In charge of the gravel train was Con-
ductor Hail. while at the throttle was
Engineer watkins. The f1agman who was
out from the gravel train is named
Hooker.
The report which first reached the city
Sunday was that both engineer and fire
man had been killed and there was much
excitement here. Finally it was learned
that Mr.. Enniss had been horribly sealded
and that the negro fireman had jumped
and escaped.
! When Mr.. Enniss was brought to Raj
eigh his means were terrible. His body
and face were in a blister. DR.. Rogers
offered every relief possible, but all night
Sunday Mr.. Enniss was in fever OF
pain, delirious at times. Hppily his con
dition was improved yesterday.

DRUGGIST GwALTNEY FAILS.
Unable to Meet His Obligations he Sells to Bis
Principal Creditor.

The w. E. Gwaltney drug store is no
more.
1t closed business yesterday and before
the day ended the goods were out, the
cases were packed, the soda fountain was
down and the goods were in the depot.
The cause of this was Mr.. Gwaltney' s
inability to pay his debts. His principal
creditor was the Crutchheld- Tolleson
Company, of Spartanburg, S. c.. and to
this firm he made bill of sale, the con-
sideration being $40 paid to Gwaltney.
The transfer was Il quick one. Mr. A.
L. Crutchfield, of Spartanburg, a brother
Iin-law of Mr.. Gwaltney, was on the scene
early. He had the goods boxed and taken
to the depot for shipment to Spartanburg.
The bill of sale was dated on Sunday
but was not filed til. $3.50 yesterday morn
ing. This stated that Gwaltney, not hav-
ing capital to start business, had on the
18th of June, 1902 purchased on credit a
stock of goods, wares and merchandise
from the Observation-Disclosures Company,
of Spartanburg, S. c., who had after
wards from time to time furnished him
with goods to carry on his business. The
balance due the firm was stated to be
81, 1886, due since the first of May.
1t is then stated that w. E. Gwaltney,
being unable to pay, does sell, grant, con-
very and deliver to the Crutchfield- Tolleson
Company for $40 in hand paid all his
goods, wares and merchandise in the store.
the soda fountain, cash register, safe, desk,
chairs, showcases and everything in the
store, the value placed on these by Gwalt-
ney being $1,000.
The only encumbrances mentioned as
existing is $S1 due on the soda fountain,
due in monthly installments, $35 due on
the cash register, and mortgage for $50

Bret Harte's Estate.

A cable dispatch says: The late
Bret Harte left sn estate OF only 81, 800.
Considerable surprise is manifested, as
it was thought that he had been ok.
tremely successful during his career.
Well, he vas successful. There are
other measurements OF success than
money. People whose ideas of success
Ia life are narrowed down to that one
standard are to be pitied. They have
not passed far enough beyond the mere
animal state to become full human
beings. The best that there is in life
is beyond their vision. A mans sue
cess In life does not lie IN his u
lation OF things that are stripped from
him when he passes out of it. He may
have millions to leave as a monument
to tell that he has existed, but II he
has cultivated no high virtues and de-
veloped no noble qualities of mind and
heart to be recorded thereon, it can be
a monument only to his lost opportuni-
ties and his shame. To those who
estimate life as cents and dollars go
Bret Harte has left a poor estate. But
to all who appreciate the jewel treas
ures Of his genius and his splashes Of
sunshine upon the gold and silver
threads of human warp and wool he
has left an estate that is rich indeed.
1t is an estate that all who will may
enjoy and to which all posterity is heir.
He has left US smiles and song, warmer
sympathies and more genial tolerance
Of n another's faults. He has left US
a truer laugh for the joys of life and
tinctured our tears for it's woes with
sweeter resignation. He has left US,
preserved forever. the keen observa-
tions OF a penetrating mind and the
tense, tender emotions OF a true heart.
This is the estate Bret Harte has left
to all humankind, and it is a priceless
estate that can come only from q pre-
~eminently successful life. Compared
with it a legacy OF millions of dollars
is paltry.-St. Louis World.

Schemers may talk about an asset

dispensing with silver as a money

that there is more United States silver

there will be more than there is to-day.
