Reuben Ford, an Employee. Run
Over by Empty Car--Died
Shortly After--COrO.
ner'S Verdict.

At about 1850 o'clock Saturday
morning a fatal accident occurred
on the railroad track near East
Main Street and directly in front
of Mr.. w. H. Sartor's residence.
AS result Reuben Ford,
negro employee of the railroad,
is dead. The switch engine, in
charge Of the switch crew sta
toned at Union, was hauling an
empty freight car toward Aetna
mills, the car to be placed on the
siding there. Conductor Reid
was out of the city, so brake
man Humphries was in charge.
A fiy-switch was being made
to place car on the Aetna
siding. Ford was walking
down the track toward Aetna,
and stepped off to let the
engine pass; then he stepped
back on the track unaware of
the cars approach. Humphries,
who was on top of the car,
yelled at the negro but it seems
he did not hear. The car ran
over the negro, crushing his
skull and cutting his arm in two
places one below the shoulder,
the other below the elbow. He
was at once taken to DR.. Hamil-

UNIONS COMPANY RULED OUT.
Because of Negro Driver-Unjust
Treatment By North Carolina
JUDGES Union Cheered.

At the inter state firemen's
tournament last Thursday in
Asheville, the company from
Union was ruled out of the con-
test because it had a negro
driver. The rules OF the Asso-
citation are that none other than
member of the company can
run in the races and of course
the negro driver is not rated as
member.
a in the parade Wednesday af-
Eernoon, there were several
negro drivers in the different
wagons, SO says a prominent citi-
,a who went to Asheville.
Nothing was said about the
negro drivers then, but next day
when the races began the
negroes were all displaced by
white drivers except in the case
of Union.
Chief Smith was unwilling to
allow any of his company to
drive the horses, so had to with
draw from the contest. This
was amid wholesale applause
from the spectators. Anderson
offered the service of it's white
driver but objection was raised.
The South Carolina judges voted
10 Il UniC contest any hs.- S
but the judges from Nortn oar-
clina overruled them. ~

Being of God, "a Salvation,
Love, Faith, the AtGnement, and

Being of God, Ia Salvation.
Love, Faith, the AtEnement, and
many more. One of the great
est thoughts revealed in the
teaching of Jesus was his idea of
world-conquest. 1t is great in
its daring, its compass and it's
object. "All the world" says
Jesus Christ to the five hun
dred brethren" assembled on the
mountain in Galilee. One strange
thing about this idea of Jesus is
in the fact that it originated in
Hebrew environment. The ~ex-
clusiveness of Judaism is swept
from the horizon and universal
world embraced in the gigantic
scheme.
There are many people who
req, d the hemissionary enterprise
as b lily worth the serious at
tention of strong minded men.
These individuals assume that
women and some few weak
minded people may legitimately
give attention to such matters.
But here gr' mistake is made.
1t is a great a, great enter
prise. The 3 eatest enterprise
of any age. Men dreamed of
World-conquest before Christ S
day. Caesar, Alexander, Cyrus
and others. Napoleon in mod
ern times had the same dream.
But the difference, was; .iese
men dreamed of a world d-conquest
that killed men to get them into
the kingdom, while Jesus Christ
himself dies to get them i'll. The
spirit must get hold of Christ S
followers before they may be
truly called his disciples.
The missionary idea offers the
widest possible scope for the test
of human endeavor. The phi
lanthropist founds colleges, or
phanages, libraries and other in
stitutions that help mankind.
The spirit of Jesus Christ is to
do all this and more. The gen
erality of philanthronsts hedge in
their benefactions. They take
up some one idea, Ike founding
libraries. And this idea is
hedged in by race, color, and

A Matter of Nose.

In spite of the important place given
to the nose as an index of character,
there Is but little to be learned from 1t
In estimating the causes of an innate
bond between the mind and the fea-
lures. Most of the correspondence
which have been remarked appear to
be of radical order, but why Roman
nose first became associated with q
warlike and domineering disposition or
how q long and thin nose became linked
with business prudence is more than l
can say. If we omit the changes
which take place in a nose during the
lifetime of its possessor there is scarce
ly a nasal popularity of value to the
physiognomist which at the same time
is cosmopolitan. No Tartar or Hotten-
tot, however warlike, could give proof
of 1t In this way. Japan has shown
that she possesses plenty of men with
military aptitude, but no Wellingtonian
nose can be found within her borders.
Again, no Chinese nose Is long and
thin, yet John Is not without q certain
aptitude at driving bargains.-Black-
woods Magazine.

Women of Ancient Rome.

I'VE are assured by Seneca" says
the historian Inge, that there were
women In ancient Rome who counted
their ages not by their years, but by the
husbands they had had. Juvenal tells
of one woman who had married eight
husbands in five years. Divorce was
granted on the slightest pretext. Many
separated merely from love Of change,
disdaining to give any reason, like
Emillus Paulus, who told his friends
that he knew best where his shoes
pinched him. Rich wives were not
much sought after by wise men. Their
complete emancipation made them DIFF
ficult to manage. Accordingly, since
both rich and poor wives were objec-
tionable, the large majority Of men
never married at all. In most cases a
Roman bridegroom knew practically
nothing of his wife's character until
after marriage. Marriage for the Ro-
man woman meant a transition from
rigid seclusion to almost unbounded
liberty. She appeared as matter Of
course at her husbands table whether
he had company or not. She could go
where she liked, either to the temples Of
Isis and Scraps or to the circus and
amphitheater. She had her own troops
of slaves, over whom she ruled without
interference"

There are certain nations that have
the quality OF vulgarity strongly In the
blood, and indeed it seems to testify
to strong and full blooded vitality, a
desire for self assertion and thus we
may expect to find yulgarlty logging
like a shadow the footsteps Of strong
capable and pushing natioHHlities. But
there are certain nations that have
been accused of many faults that yet
have never been accused Of being Yul-
gar. The Irish are a case in point.
They have been accused of leyity. Of
undue conYivlality, of frivolty, 81 a
tendency to romance, of untrustworthl-
ness. of responsibility but they have
never been accused of yulgarity. There
lies deep In the Celtic temperament a
rich vein of emotion, Il strong relish for
the melancholy side of life. 1t is on this
that their Incompatible sense Of humor
is based. and 1t may be said that no
one who feels at home with melancholy,
who luxuriates in the strange contrast
between the possibilities and the per-
formances of humanity, Is in any dan
ger of vulgarity. for one of the essen
tlal components OF vulgarlty ls a com
paoent self satisfaction, and II man
Is apt to dwell regretfully on what
might have been rather than cheerfully
upon what Is there is but little room for
complaceney.-A.C c. Benson in Atlantic.

Eslxt,no Throwing stickn.

A throwing stick" throwing
board" or "sgear thrower," as it Is
sometimes called, Is a contrfyanee for
casting a javelin or harpoon, which Is
employed by various savage races,
such as the Australians, some South
American tribes and especially by the
Eskimos, among whom its use is al
most universal. Roughly speaking. 1t
Is narrow grooved board foot or so
long, with one end cut into handle
and the other provided with d stud or
spur for the butt OF the spear to rest
against 1t is used thus: Grasping the
handle as he would sword, the man
fits the shaft of the spear into the
groove, with the butt resting against
the stud, steadying the spear with the
finger. Then, extending his arm and
bending back his hand Till the spear
lies horizontal, he aims at the mark
and propels the weapon by a quick
forward jerk of the stick. In this way
l have seen Eskimo boys casting their
forked Javelns at wounded waterfowl.

When buchanan was King.

George Buchanan was a scholar, his
torlan, controversialIst and the best
Latin poet of his age. Buchanan was
tutor to Mary, queen Of Scots, and to
her son James, afterward James l. of
England One day he caused himself
to be made king of Scotland, and this
was the way of 1t: Having observed In
James a tendency to too ready acqui-
escence, he drew up paper for the
royal pupil to sign. James did SO at
once without having read 1t. The doc
ument happened 10 be transfer of the
royal authority to Buchanan for fifteen
days, and no sooner had the poet got 1t
into his possession than be began to
play the monarch, even before the king
himself James thought the man lu-
matte until the instrument was pro
duced by which he had signed away
his sovereignty This incident was
used by the worthy preceptor to Illus
trate the days lesson on the response
