Especial to News and Observer.

Greensboro, n. c., Oct. Am UNI
pardonable act of inhospitality was
committed here yesterday by Ernest
Causey, of High Point. A gentleman
from Wilkes upon being Introduced to
the gentleman from the dry town"
thought to speed the friendship by
opening his grip and wetting the
rarched throat of the furniture city's
representative. Later Causey and the
grip were missing. A warrant was
secured and by the time Causey was
found, he was full of whiskey and the
grin was iabby at the sides. He is In
jail and should be kept there the bal
ance of his life or be made to remain
i'm High Point, so that Greensboro's
reputation for hospitality should not
be ruined.

INJURED AND NEGLECTED.
Night Waterman Ford. Of the Soul j.
eTn. Lost Limb.

Yesterday morning at about seven
O'Clock Mr.. X. j. Ford. aged 81 years,
night Waterman on the freight yards
of the Southern Railway, while While
sealing the window on the rear end
of box car was seriously injured,
but unless complications result. the
injury is not fatal.
Mr.. Ford was performing one of
his duties, just as he is accustomed
to doing every morning, in sealing a
car, and was standing above the
bumpers between two cars. While he
was i'm this position a shifter ran into
one of the cars. and his foot fell be-
tween the bumpers. and was terribly
mangled, giving fearful pain to Mr..
Ford.
Mr.. Ford was kept waiting without
medical assistance for nearly an hour,
and when a physician finally arrived
morphine was injected into the stuff
ering mans arm to ease the pain, and
he was laid on a stretcher, placed in
a wagon and hauled to Rex Hospital,
where DR.. Hubert Register found it
necessary to amputate the injured
mans limb below the knee.
In speaking of the incident yes
terday an eye witness said:
ct appears to me that the negli-
gence of the Southern Railway, or
those having Mr.. Ford in charge after
his injury, was almost criminal. He
is 81 years of age, and was suffering
the most intense pain, which might
yet cause his death. He was permit
ted to remain without professional at
tention for an hour, and then was
carried to the hospital in a jolting
old wagon as though he were without
feeling. The ambulance should have
been called at once. and Mr.. Ford
taken to the hospital. where he could
have received immediate attention.
and given relief. The circumstances
attending this affair were shameful"
At a late hour last night Mr.. Ford
was reported to be resting well.

CHANDLER ANSWERS SPENCER

Declares the Jim Crow Argument il
Being Used to Defeat Rate Leg
iSlatiOn.
(By the Associated Press.)

Concord, N. H., Oct. 3.-Formsr
Senator William K. Chandler, issued
a signed statement upon the railroad
rate question in reply to remarks
by President Samuel Spencer, of the
Southern Railroad, published in the
morning newspapers. Mr.. Chandler
says:
MIR. Spencers general statement
Is that nothing but braod and legiti-
| mate facts. conditions and arguments
concerninga railroad rate legislation
have been presented to Congress and
| the public by the railroad managers
while none of that character has been
advanced by the other side, so there
| is nothing as yet which needs answer.
1.-The egotism and conceit of Mr..
Spencer in thus dealing with great
| question shows the worthlessness of
| his general utterances. e.
Particularly however. he does de-
| ny that the Jim Crow cars have ever
been in any sense a factor in the ar
gument on his side. But he does
| this in the face of the statement made
| by the Macon Telegraph that the bill
must be resisted on the Jim Crow car
ground, saying If there were no 9TH
er reason for opposing the scheme
! to concentrate this power in Wash
| ington, the Telegraph would oppose
it on this single ground and the
statements of the Charleston Post
that appeals are being made cleverly
enough by the railroads and that the
Southern people are quickly moved
by play upon their prejudices and
this is being taken advantage of in
| the treatment of the Jim Crow car
question
"In view of these statements. Mr.
| Spencer's denial is incorrect and hf
had better deal with these newspa-
pers and leave Mr.. Chadwick alone
for time.
"Mr. Spencer also says that Inn nj
address before the MANUFACTURED
convention at Atlanta in MAY he di'
