CHILD DRANK CARBOLIC ACID
Condition is Now SeriOus-Heavy
Rains Hurt Growing Crops.
Especial to The Messenger.)

G~OldsbOrO, \. c., July 1.-THE leav-
ing Of a bottle of carbOlic acid within
the reach Of children came near caus-
ing the death of Il three-year-Old child
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Erney Wi sol yester-
day afternoon Mrs. Wilson had called
to see a neighbor, Mrs. Walter Sum-
merlin, and the child had been left to
play in the dining room, where it found
a soda water bottle containing carbOlic
acid. The child took the bottle and
drank a part Of the contents and re-
stopped the bottle and put it up. The
scream of the child attracted atten-
ton. When it was fOund what had
taken place, medical aid was summon
ed and partial relief was given. About
2 O'Clock this morning the child grew
worse and is now in Il serious cOnd1-
ton. The mouth and throat of the
child are terribly burned, and it is
thought that its stomach is in the same
condition. The %youngster is still con-
sciOus and can speak, but its condition
remains unimproved.
The watermelon crop, for which this
is one of the largest markets in the
state, several car loads being shipped
from here to the North every year, Is
said to be very short this ear on ac-
count of the recent heavy rains, which
have done much damage to all kinds OF
growing crops. A large quantity 81
rain has fallen every day for a week,
and last Friday the official figures were
-four inches for GOldsbOro. The heavy
rains are beating water melon blooms
and cotton blooms as we'll. The waters
in the rivers and creeks in this section
are leaving their banks n further
damage is feared from freShets.
