An unfortunate accident, resulting
in the death of one Of the attaches Of
Van Amburg's circus. occurred dur
ing the performance OF the show here
Monday night. Tne victim OF the
accident was Robert Venc, a slack
wire artist, aud tine looking, attrac-
tive young fellow.
Veno was the slack wire performer
who did his stunts on the wire nearest
the entrance to the big show, aud was
we'll up in his line One of his diff
cult feats was to walk back and forth
over the wire with tow sack over
MS head, and it was while going
through with this trick that the dis
tressing event occurred. The direct
cause of the accident was probably a
fight that occurred between number
OF young men of the town and some OF
the employees IF the shows. AS Veno
was in the act of placing the sack over
his head bis attention was directed to
this fight and just as the sack obscur-
ed his vision he lost his balance an
fell to the ground, distance of seven
feet, striking On his head and one
shoulder. The unfortunate young man
was Immediately removed to Ghe dress
ing room Of the circus and it was at
once apparent that be was badly burt.
DR.. j. Fl. BenIet5 was summoned
and after lie had made an examination
he gave it as his opinion that Veno's
neck was broken and advised that he
be carried 10 a hospital. Fortunately
the $3.50 train for Charlotte was de-
layed and the wounded man was plac-
ed on stretcLer aud carried to the
depot in time to catch this train. He
was placed il one Of the coaches but
died before the train reached Char

Before he died Veno asked that he
be brought back to Wadesboro and
buried as near the scene Of the acci-
dent as possible. This vas not doue.

COAST LINE STOCKHOLDERS.
Annual Meeting This Month in Rich
mond-Steady Growth OF Traf-
fc-Shapment OF Perishable
Goods.

TIE seventy first annual meeting OF
the stockholders of the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Company will be held
In Richmond on November 2lst. There
are approximately nine hundred share
holders. the total stock outstanding
is As. FOG, 100 which shows an average
holding of s., 07S.
Preliminary figures giving earnings
for the fiscal year ended June 30th
have been published. The pamphlet
report to stockholders, however, to be
submitted at the annual meeting will
give in detail the progress made dur
ing the year. Its seventy first year
was in every respect the best the At
lantic Coast Line has had, says the
Richmond Times-Dispatch. It earned
per cent. on its preferred stock and
10. 66 per cent on its common stocks.
Thesgross earnings increased s. II per
cent. comuared with 1904, and its
freight traffic was more than 7 per
cent. better than it was IN 1904.
The average mileage operated last
fiscal year was 4, $50 miles against A.
1872 IN 1894 and 4, l39 in 1903. Great
progress was made In extension OF
passenger service and increased facili.
ties for the rapid transportation OF
perisba5le freight. A large part ct
Atlantic Coast Line freight traffic
consisted of perishable fruits and
vegetables. which require an expensive
and exacting service. This explains
why the cost OF operating is not re-
duced more rapidly. The operating

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS

The self-important gentlemen who
have scoffed at the idea of labor being
u growing power and laughed at the
possibility of the people becoming dis.
gusted with the big grafters and die
tators, have suffered sudden awak'
ening in the election results of Tues.
day.
The success of Schmitz in San Fran.
cisco and the vote polled by William
X. Hearst in New York tell a story OF
labor's triumph, and a revolution in
the sentiment of the people of New
York City that is full of promise for
honest government, and suggests de-
servedly uncomfortable hours for the
big grafters and dictators whose
homes are found in that great munich"
pality.
Doubtless there will be the usual
hue and cry over the dangers of ad-
yancing socialism and the appeal to
prejudice by the yellow press, but this
will not cause the intelligent people
to be permanently led astray. The
Hearst vote in New York was equally
II not more significant than the sue
cess of Weaver in Philadelphia. The
returns do not show that Hearst was
elected, but with the administration
in the hands of Tammany there is lit
tie doubt that the charge of fraud fits
the situation, though Hearst will be

ROAD WORKERS IDLE


In road matters is the payment twice
q month of road laborers. The County.
In order to pay these men in the mid
die of the month for the first two
weeks work, has to save something
from the preceding months receipts.
The County has the money, but it is
the disposition of funds as between
allowing the road department the limit
for November and saving something
to pay OFF laborers in the middle Of
December.
Back of all this is the biggest kick
of all, namely, that the Territorial
Auditor for reasons best known to him
