1t is a d source of thanksgiving too
to note that the sections which most
need developement are leading in
this industrial race. The South,
which was impoverished and decima-
ted by the war, is fast acquiring
commercial independence. Since the
abolition Of slavery, which was so es-
sential to the success of the
plantation, the South has more
than doubled it's output of cotton:
and every city below the Potomac
and the Ohio is humming with the
hirl of thousands Of rev spindles.
Nor is the supply likely to outrun the
need, since during the last century
the consumption of cotton has in
creased twenty-one times. The
South, the mt W industrial and money
m kirg South, is comir e into its
kir gdom and only two Atlantic cities
outstrip New Orleans today in the
amount of their shipments.
Meanwhile the West is drawing
toward itself the grt at wealth-pro-
ducing industries. While the center
of our population is in southe astern
Indiana, the center of corn produc-
tion is near Alton, Illinois, and the
center of wheat in southwestern
Iowa. Fifty years ago the center of
corn was near Louisville, Kentucky,
and the center of wheat near Zsnes-
vile, Ohio. The westward movement
of manufactures is more slow, but it
has advanced its middle point in the
past half century from central Penn
sylvania to central northern Ohio.
All of these centers are now IN the
Mississippi Valley, aud that "star
of empire" is still moving with the
sun.

BRIDGE GIVES WAY.

Richmond, June 29.-~An engine
and two freight cars on the Seaboard
Air Line had just crossed the high
iron bridge across the Meherrin river
near CRANKY yesterday when the
abutment pillars and two spans of
the bridge gave way. The coupling
broke and ten cars loaded with va
rious articles fell into the water be-
low.
The cars filed the yawning hole in
the bridge sufficiently to check the
progress of the caboose in which
were the fagman and conductor. To
this circumstance is the fact due that
there was no loss of life. The fast
Florida vestibuled train had crossed
the bridge just ahead of the freight.

A. J. GALLOWAY DEAD.
This Good Man Falls On Sleep AT

ter Lingering Illness.
At his home in this city, Saturday
evening at 9.45 O'Clock, Capt. A. j.,
Galloway, after a slow decline of
many months, and several weeks of
confinement, in the list year of his
age, fell on sleep, in the bosom of a
loving family, who have in rich
abundance the tenderest symp pathy
of our entire community in their sad
bereavement.
Many years ago Captain Galloway
became citizen of Goldsboro, and
from that day to the time of his
death, he was one of her best citizens,
always deeply interested in the pros
perity and growth of his home town.
Captain Galloway was native of
the historic old town of Southport,
North Carolina, and it was delight
full to hear him talk of his boyhood
days at his old home by the sea,
| around which cluster so many his
toric "reminiscences, and which he
| loved so we'll.
| In this life loyalty to friends and
employers is one of the most beauti-
| full traits of character known to man.
In Mr.. Galloway loyalty abounded
in the superlative degree. The best
! years of his life were devoted to the
service of the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad Company. He saw it grow
from the little Wilmington & We'll
don Railroad Company to be giant
among the railroad companies of the
world, and "our road" as he fondly
| spoke of the railroad company, never
had more faithful, more loyal, a
more useful man in it's service.

DEATH OF CAPT. GALLOWAY.

Wilmington Messenger.
AS announced in another column
of this mornings Messenger, Captain
A. J. Galloway, of Goldsboro, passed
away on last Saturday night. He
had reached the allotted age of three
score years and ten and while his
friends were, because of his age and
of bodily infirmities which had for
long time afflicted him, looking for
the sad occurrence, still the snufing
out of this useful and congenial life
causes sadness to a host of relatives,
friends and acquaintance. He was
a man beloved and respected by all
who knew him-a beacon light by
which all younger men could with
safety steer their life barques. Peace
to his ashes, and peaceful soiourn
through infinite time to the soul
which death released from the bodily
pains and the worries and anxieties
of the troublous life in this world.
Death would have no fears for any
one who could fall on sleep with the
full assurance of this good man that
it will be we'll with him in the be-
yOnd.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Joseph and
Family Are Rescued From
DroWing at Beaufort.


Family Are Rescued From
Drowing at Beaufort.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. A. Joseph in this city and section
will be deeply interested in the fol-
lowing thk1ling incident that befeli
them at Beaufort Monday, and
certainly are we all gratifed over
their escape from a watery grave.
The telegraph report from Beaufort
gives the incident as follows:
Beaufort, n. c., June 29.-Mr. A.
A. Joseph and family from Colds
boro, who are stopping at the Man
son House, came near being drown
ed to-day on the Birds Shoal, about
a quarter of mile from Beaufort.
They were in bathing and one of
the party accidently stepped in deep
water, and the other members of the
family went to the child's rescue
and they were soon over their heads
and in great danger of losing their
lives, as none of them could swim.
Palmer Davis, a colored boatman,
went to save them, and he succeeded
only by good judgment and heroic
efforts. They were all nearly ex-
hausted and Mr.. Joseph was so COM
pletely overcome he had to be laid
on the shore until he recovered sui
ficiently TO be taken to the hotel.
The party consisted of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph and their two children. They
are all right now.
Later.-All had been under the
water twice and were only saved by
clinglng together and by the aid o1
Mr.. William Borden, from the Uni
versity of Maryland, who ran te
ther assistance and held Davis while
he caught the foot Of Mr.. Joseph as
they were going under the third
time and pulled them ashore. They
all had to be rolled and rubbed be-
fore they were restored.

Shooting AFFRhY IN DUDLEY
IN. B. FIEI DS SHOOTS G. A.
SPRUILL.
Mr.. J. Kornegay, a By-Stander is
Shot, Also-E'racas Occurred at
the Depot in That Town
Friday, June 26.

Our neighboring town of Dudley,
nine miles south of this city, on the
Atlantic Coast Line, has come for
ward with a sensational shooting af-
fray, which will entitle hat usually
quite and peaceful village to some
distinction. Two men were shot and
one Of them quite seriously. Mr..
G. A. Spruill, the agent of the rail-
road, received a pistol ball in his
side, which has lodged in his abdo-
men and may cause serious compl1-
cations. The other man who was
shot is Mr.. J. Kornegay, an inno-
cent spectator, who had nothing to
do with the fracus. He received an
ugly flesh wound in his right arm,
and local physicians attended to his
case, but Mr.. Spruill was sent to the
railroad hospital at Rocky Mount
for treatment.
Mr.. J. M. B. Fields, a son Of Mr..
w. B. Fields, of that town, did the
shooting. All the principals in the
affair are Dudley people.
Soon after the shooting took place
the north bound passenger train
came along and Mr.. Spruill was put
on the train to be carried to the hos
pital, as above stated. When the
train reached this city the reporter
got aboard and found Mr.. Spruill
reclining on a seat in the smoker of
the frst-class coach. He looked pale
and talked somewhat feeble, which
was the result of loss of blood, which
was slowly oozing from the wound
in his side. In response to a ques-
ton as to what caused the difficulty,
he said:
"About a week ago Fields told a
falsehood on me. / do not care to
state what the falsehood was or
what it was about. At II o'clock
Friday a. NJ, while the local freight
was standing at the depot Fields
walked into my office. When ap-
preached him, intending to thrash
him or make him retract his state
ments, he did not give me time or
opportunity to strike him, but inn
mediately pulled his pistol and be-
gan firing. The first shot struck me
in the side. I grabbed hold of his
left arm and he fired again, the
second shot striking Mr.. ]. Kornegay
on the arm. / turned loose and ran
toward the door. He fred again,
but tho ball went wild. [ then ran
into the freight room and Fields
fred at me again, but Capt. Jones,
of the freight train, had reached
Fields by that time and knocked his
arm up. The ball went through the
too Of the warehouse. AS soon as
Fields left I went in and telegraphec
the company to send man In my
place. / learned while / was get
ting on the train that policeman
Hatch had arrested Fields"
LATER:
The young man j. M. B. Fields
who shot c.. A. Spruill at Dudle.
Friday, was brought to this cit.
Friday night by Sheriff Stevens. A
the magistrates trial he waived ex
animation and gave bond in the sun
of $3.50 for his appearance at court. l
now appears, on reliable authority
that when Fields shot Spruill tn
latter had already assaulted him an
was making desperate efforts to &c
at Fields again, after bystanders ha
pulled Spruill off.
