Salisbury, N. c., Special.-Engineer
Ed. Bullock, in charge of the South
ern's night shifting crew in the yards
here. was instantly killed shortly after
10 O'Clock Monday night at Hender-
sons crossing, between Salisbury and
Spencer. his body being crushed be-
tween the tender of his engine and a
wild engine, running at a speed OF 65
Or 70 miles an hour. Engineer Bullock
was in the act of Jumping to save his
life when he lost it. The fireman, a
white man named Freeman, jumped
and escaped with only slight bruises.
Two engines and three freight cars
were demolished, the track considera-
bly, torn up, and traffic suspended for
for more than two hours.
Engineer Bullock, with his engine
and three freight cars, was backing
from the Salisbury depot toward Spen-
Ger at a moderate rate of speed. A wild
engine was seen approaching at a
high speed from the South yard at
Spencer. Fireman Freeman jumped.
When Engineer Bullock realized the
danger, he also jumped, but was. too
late.
In less than thirty minutes after
the accident, and almost before the
dead engineers body had been re-
moved from the wreckage, a second
wild engine started from the shops at
Spencer, in the same direction, but
was fortunately discovered by the
switchman, who threw the switch and
ditched it. But for this timely inter-
vention there would, in all probability
have been more loss of life.

east and central portions, and gener-
ally rain in the middle of the week
throughout the State. The tempera-
ture as a rule has been cool, these
conditions have been favorable for

considerable injuring was done by
washing.
Reports of cotton shedding come
from all parts Of the State. Cotton
rust is reported to be very bad in
Johnston county. In the eastern dis
trict cotton is opening quite generally
also to some extent in the central and
western districts where it is still
blooming. While some report very
good, an average crop, many report
a small or a one-half crop.
Young and late corn damaged by
rain to a great extent and firing in
some places. In some sections the
crop is promising, but many report
a small crop, it is pot maturing we'll,
and more sunshine is needed for the
crop throughout the State.
Tobacco is still being cut in the
central and west districts; in some
places curing is progressing nicely,
and a good average crop will be rea-
liked. Tobacco is firing very fast in
Person county and it is being cut and

has been destroyed by the wet wealth
er in some localities, Fodder is still
being cut and much Of it has been
saved. Peanuts are looking well;
fruits almost a complete failure.
Sweet and white potatoes are gener-
ally reported as a fine crop. Farm

seventy Years Without kissinc

Eli Richardson, who died at Martin,
Tenn, at the age of 70 years, boast
ed that he had never put his lips to
woman's, though he was married.
In explaining how he happened to
eschew the joys Of kissing he said he
was very bashiul boy. At a party
before the civil war game was often
played in which the young women had
to forfeit a kiss to her captor.
Young Richardson's timidity being
known, a plan was formed to get him
to kiss girl. She placed a pin in her
mouth, and when Ellis bashful lips
were to press hers she was to prick
his lips with the pin. The fatetuI mo-
ment came. Eli demurred, but was
prevailed upon to take the kiss from
the maiden. He started to implant
the kiss, but his eye caught the CLEAN
Of the pin and he refused. From that
day until his death he never kissed
woman.

Safety coupIers for Cars.

The supreme court has decided that
all railway cars and locomotives must
be equipped with automatic couplers,
for the protection of the railroad EN-
ployes. The couplers must be of such
character that employees will not
have to go between the cars. This de-
cision is certainly forward step. and
it is right along the line of the rec
concentrations contained in the presi-
dents Taessage. The great railroad
corporations owe it to the public that
their employees shall work under such
conditions as will have the tendency
to promote safety in travel.-Atlanta
