SAVED BIG HOTEL.
Blue Mountain House Escapes
Destruction From Noun
tain Fire

bCbA4 II
Through the heroic efforts of
large force of the country people,
the Blue Mountain House has
been saved from destruction by
one of the fiercest forest fires that
has ragged in that vicinity in years.
The fire started at the side of
the Western Maryland Railroad
tracks near Edgemont early Sun
day afternoon aud burned rapidly
toward Pen Mar. The flames
were aided by a strong wind and
made great Roadway in spite of all
efforts to stop it. The hotel,
which is one of the most promi-
nent summer hostelries in this
section, was almost directly i'll the
path of the flames. and for hours
it looked as if it was doomed.
Great crowds hurried to the
scene and all the devices ordinari-
ly used in checking forest fires
were brought into play to head off
the destructive element. Many
of the employees of the railroad
were on hand and diligently
labored for the saving of the en-.
dangered property. The battle
ragged all the evening and late in-
to the night.
Early Monday morning the
efforts of the fire fighters was re-
warded aud hope of saving the
hotel became brighter. After
more earnest work the flame final.
ly were subdued within but a short
distance of the hotel.
Fires have been raging at sew
eral points in the mountains. The
fire on South mountain has been
burning since Friday and another
great contiagration raging on
North mountain began about the
same time Much valuable tim Der
has been burned.

The Aberdeen & Rockfish Railroad
now operates a double daily passen-
ger train with comfortable cars be-
tween Aberdeen and Hope Mills. The
travelling public will do we'll to no.
tice the special connections this road
makes with the Atlantic Coast Line,
North and South, and with the Sea-
board Air Line and Aberdeen & Ashe-
boro Railroad. Passengers from Fay
etteyille to Charlotte will save from
six to twelve hours by routing by
Aberdeen & Rockfish Railroad.
This road running from Hope Mills
to Aberdeen passes through parts OF
Cumberland, Robeson ana moore
counties. and on the line of this rail-
road is some of the finest farming
lands in the State. The cotton farms
around Raeford are fast becoming as
much talked about as those of MARI
boro, S. c., and the lands along the
western part of the road are unsur-
passed for melons and fruits.
The famous Bethune Hill is point
of interest on the line of the road. as
being a place where fruits have never
been known to be killed by late frosts
in the spring.
The fine trucking lands from Hope
Mills to Raeford along this line, are
fast being taken up, and advancing
in price, and home-seekers have a
rare opportunity to locate along the
line of this railroad, where with the
generous soil, and the obliging ship
ping facilities, they will surely find
all the desirable features for profit
able farming.
Raeford, town of some 1000
population, is located midway between
Aberdeen and Hope Mills, and has
many enticing features as a home.
Excellent high and preparatory
schools, churches, a substantial bank,
and a number of mills that furnish
all the best building materials. The
town is fast growing.
The water power along the line of
this road is enormous, and would in
itself make the country rich in time.
The streams are as clear as crystal,
and are not affected by the severest
droughts.
This is a glorious section of our
country and is destined TO be densely
populated.

MIR. j M. DAVIS DEAD.
He Was One of the Best Citizens and
Best Men in Harnett County.
Especial to News and observer.)

kopecldI TO news ana Observer
Dunn, N. c.. March 24.-It is with
deep sorrow that we announce the
death of Mr.. j. NJ. Davis, of Linden
which occurred at his home on the
2lst instant. Everyone who knew
him deeply deplores his death His
immediate neighbors and his COM
munity both white and colored, are
in tears and mourning. He was pop
ular prominent and great, not only
for what he did, but for what he was
He was the friend and helper of every
one in need and trouble. He was far
above the average citizen of his COM
munity and his services to his neigh
bors and county were considerable.
His greatness was in his character,
which was without a flaw; his great
influence for good was in his noble
example. He was one of the best
men of the State, ideal in most re-
spects, always taking an important
part in religious and political affairs.
He was an energetic worker i'm the
Presbyterian church of which he was
a member for a good many years.
He was fifty-one years of age when
he married and had been married
twice. He first married a prominent
lady of Chatham county by the name
of Miss Harris. She died in 1895,
and he was married again three years
ago to Miss Kate Elliott. He leaves
four children, two sons and two
daughters. About four weeks ago in
the midst of his prolonged and seri-
Gus illness one of his daughters died
and apparently this sad death contri-
buted to hasten the end. He was
born in Cumberland county and came
to this county about twenty-five years
ago. He was an elder in Sardis Pres
byterian church, and has ever taken a
firm stand in favor of religion, eduea-
ton and moral questions. He has
been i'm feeble health for som time,
and for the past two months he was
confined to his room and lost strength
rapidly
The burying ceremony took place
yesterday afternoon-the 23rd, and
the funeral sermon was preached by
Rev. j. S. Black, at 3 o'clock p. M, at
Sardis Presbyterian church. The
deceased was buried in Sardis church
cemetery, in the presence of q large
number of his friends, assembled to
do honor to his name. Mr. Davis
was one of the few persons that had
not an enemy.
Since his arrival and settlement in
this county, deceased took an active
part in politics. He would never be-
come a candidate for office, and the
positions he held were merely honor
airy and forced upon him. For some
time he ably served as chairman OF

BY 4 HAIRS BREADTH.
A Young Mans almost Miraculous
Escape From DEATH.

(SneciaI to the News and Observer
GoIdsboro. n. c., March "a, 1904
a Young white man by the name OF
Ennis. who works at the furniture iac-
tory came near meeting horrible
death this morning, and how he es-
caped is a mystery to all who witness
ed the scene.
He was on his way to work ana at
temnted to board the "A. Il y. Z. pas
senger train in front of the warehouse
which was backing down town. III
front of the warehouse is small
nlatform about three feet from the
railroad, which the company placed
there for their own convenience ana
for that of parties who want 10 get on
the train at that point and save
walk down town.
Just as Ennis caught his hand hold
70 mount the steps his legs struck the
end of the platform and he was thrown
so everybody thought-under the
train. as he was lost to sight.
Engineer Murray Flowers witnessed
the scene from his engine and IN
stantly applied the emergency brakes
and the train was quickly brought TO
standstill. The engineer says ne Wouiu
not look in that direction, but toldh
his fireman that he had Killed Hi>sh'
to go back and put him on the cars
but to their great establishment the
man was lying on the edge OF the cross
tiesties between the platform and the
train.
With the exception of a cut on the
ear and an ugly cash on the back OF
his head, from which the blood was
flowing freely, he was uninJured.
So narrow was his escape that the
car wheels passed over his coat sleeve
and cut off a piece about three inches
long
