Freiqht Train Wrecked.

A freight train on the Durham &
Northern Railroad went through a
trestle about two and a half miles
from town Tuesday. Twelve cars
were wrecked, most OF them being
empty, but no one was hurt. Imme-
diately after the Durham passenger
train came in the freight went out.
When it struck the trestle one OF the
cars jumped the track, said to have
been caused by the breaking of a
journal. The engineer discovered the
trouble and pulling the throttle wide
open ierked his engine in safety to
the other side. The trest!e gave way
and twelve cars plunged to the bot
tom, a distance of several feet.
They broke loose from the engine
and the hind trucks of the tender
were left hanging over the edge. The
passenger coach and one freight car
became detached from the rest of the
train and remained on the track on
the opposite side of the trestle from
the engine A miraculous escape for
the train crew indeed.
The damage to the trestle has been
temporarily repaired and trains are
now passing over the road without
| interruption.

The question Of a name coming up
Mr.. A. T. Barnes suggested that it be
called "Gold Leaf" and it was so deci-
ded-Gold Leaf Council No. 116.
Friday night the officers were in
stalled. Mr.. W. E. Faison, Assistant
Commissioner of Labor, and Capt.
T. P. Smith, district passenger agent
OF the Seaboard Air Line, came from
Raleigh for that purpose. Both these
gentlemen are enthusiastic Junior

Councils. Their presence was much
| appreciated and a speech from each
at the conclusion of the ceremonies
of installation and initiation was
greatly enjoyed by all present. Mr..
Bridgers was here also to see the work
we'll done coming over from Oxford
where he succeeded in getting the
names of some of the best citizens for
a Council there.

Barlow & Wilson's Ministries.

Barlow & Wilson's Ministries filed
their engagement at Cooper Opera
House Saturday night. The attend
ance was small as had been antici-
pated. Saturday night is a poor
show night in a small town and the
weather was unfavorable besides.
The performance was enjoyable but
not up to expectation. Lawrence
Barlow was great, as he always is,
and was not only the best part OF
the fun making end of the show but
the greater part of the show itself.
The juggl ng-Indian club exercises
and the slack wire performances were
as fine as ever seen on the local stage.
Certainly they have not been sur
passed that we recall. The triple
horizontal bar act was very good, as
was the musical skit of Barlow and
Wilson, but the rest OF the program
was not above the ordinary.

Death Of Mr.. J. H. Malone.

Mr.. James H. Mahene died at his
home in this place shortly after IL
O'Clock last Friday morning. He had
beeen sick two or three weeks and
while his family and intimate feiends
realized his critical condition the an
nouncement of his death came as q
surprise to the general public. Mr..
Malone had not been in good health
for some time, He suffered from heart
trouble, fact which was known to
few, and while it was noticeable that
he had lost much of his strength and
activity, there was little thought
that an isidious disease was SO rapid
" preying upon him.
James H. Malone was a native of
Virginia but had been a resident OF
Henderson for many years, coming
here soon after the close of the Civil
War. For % years with but slight
intervals he was member of the
police force, and the length OF his
service bears testimony to his faith
fulness and efficiency as an officer.
During most of the time he was Chief
of Police. Mr. Malone was a natural
detective with the intuition for ferret
ing out crime and detecting the crimi-
nal Elsewhere the Board OF Com
missioners pay tribute to his worth
and fifty recognize his services in Of
flee.
The funeral was held from the home
at } O'Clock Saturday afternoon,
Rev. L. l.. Nash, D. D., conducting
the service. The attendance there
and at the cemetery attested the es-
TEEN and friendship in which the dead
| man was held in the community
where he was so we'll and widely
known.

Mrs. NJ. A. Johnson, of Raleigh, is
here this week in the interest OF the

While this institution is the special
charge of the Episcopalians of the
State it is not sectarian in the sense
that it cares only for children OF
Episcopal parents, hence it appeals
for support from all the people. Mrs.
Johnson has undertaken this work

that she is meeting with splendid sue
cess. She is especially pleased with
the encouragement and ready re-

Letter to D. Y. Cooper.
Henderson, N. c.

Dear Sir:-"Three-quarter paint is a
good phrase for the best outside OF De-
voc.
Devoe is the standard; mark it 100.
The next-best-there are several not far
apart-are three quarter paints; you may
mark them Is to DevOe's 100.
The bulk of the paints in market are
40 or so or 60; few are better than 60;
few are worse than 40.
How do they act? They cover from
one to three quarters as much as DevOe;
and they last from one to three-quartere
as long as Devoe.
What are they worth? The same rule
don't hold; it costs more to put-on some
paints than they are worth; they are not
worth anything; the ''put-on'' costs two
or three times as much as the paint.
Yours truly,

The Durham Sun, referring to the
phenomenal sales made this season
by the North Carolina Sales Division
OF the VirginiaCarOlina Chemical Co.,

Chemical Co., he said that on Wednesday
the company sold nearly three thousand
tons of their products, it breaking all
past records in the history of the com
pany s sales IN North Carolina. He also
said that their sales for yesterday would
reach near the same figures. And that
all over the country the companys sales
this spring had been phenomenal. These
heavy sales are owing to the excellent
goods they are putting on the market
and the good service they render.
