number of drafts on the Paris bank re-
Gently, the New Orleans firm being one
Of his victims. The letter states that
the man and endorser, represented him
self as the agent Of the Southern Manu-
featuring Company, of Paris, KY, and
that the draft cashed was supposed to

G. & o. Train Wrecked on l.. 81 N.
Track Near Hutchinson.

For the past few days the Chesa-
peake & Ohio trains have been running
over the l.. & N. tracks from Lexing-
ton to Cincinnati on account of the
washout- of several bridges between
Lexington and Ashland. As the East
bound c.. g. o. train, No. "a, had just
passed Hutchinson Sunday night at 30,
the rear truck on the baggage car
broke, which in some way caused the
rails to spread, separating the baggage
car and engine from the rest OF the
train. Before the train could be stop
ped the accommodation coach, which
was at the rear end of the train, turn
ed over into ditch, and the sleeper
was right at the edge of high en-
bankment. There were only two pas
SengerS in the overturned coach, and
both escaped without scratch. No
one was seriously injured but several
considerably bruised up, as'follows ::
Brakeman Lowry, ankle severely
hurt.
Mrs. ]. T. West. of Ashland, Ky.,
received several bruises, and with her
husband stopped off at Windsor hotel.
The colored porter was cut on head.
Drs. Fithian and Daugherty was
taken to the wreck on L. q N. special
and gave prompt relief to the injured.
The makeup of the train was pecu-
liar the sleeper being next to the bag
gage car and the accomm 0dation, coach
being at the rear. This was because
it was impossible to turn all of the
train at Lexington. The baggage car
and engine did not leave the track, and
run some distance from the wreck be-
fore stopping. The track was badly
torn up for about 500 yards. The Com
muter trains were put out of commits
sion yesterday on account Of the wreck
and all through trains went around by
Winchester.
Capt. Ed. Hughes, well-known by
many of our musicians here, being
musician himself of note, was conduc-
tor of the wrecked train, and L. & N.
engineer Dick Price was at the throt-
tie.
There were number of prominent
people on the train, among them Col.
Morris Belknap, of Louisville.

WOULD BE UNWISE TO DEFEAT
SENATOR OVERMAN.

Taking occasion recently to refer
to the high position taken by Hon.
Lee S. Overman in the United States
Senate, and the meritorious service
rendered by him to his State and the
nation, the Wilmington Messenger
said this:
Still there are some Democrats in
the State-a fact hard to believe
who are DESTROYS OF retiring him at
the end of his first term and putting
a new man in his place. We feel sure,
however, that q large majority OF our
party will recognize how suicidal, as
q State measure such action would
be, to say nothing OF it's unfairness
to Senator OVerman.
The only truthful reason those who
wish his retirement can give Is that
they want the office for Il personal
friend, who is very anxious for the
place. The question for the Demo-
cratic members of the next legislature
to decide is: Shall the interests OF the
State be sacrificed and her reputa-
ton OF being represented in the Sen
ate by one of that body's brainIest
and ablest members be lost, for the
sole purpose ofgratifying the person
al ambition OF IL politician?
We have no personal interest IN
Sentor Overman or his reelection. 1t
is Il matter of State pride with US
the desire to have North Carolina
represented by Senators who will
bring honor and credit to her by the
position they take among the fore
most Statements of the nation.

WORTHY OF HIS HIRE.

William X. Hearst was the princi-
pal speaker OF the Labor Day cele-
bration at jamestown Exposition
Among other things he said this:
Let us all regard one another as
fellow wOkingmen and treat one an
Their with consideration and toler-
ance. Let us all labor tremendously
TO create wealth in order that there
may be the greatest possible amount
to be Justly divided.
The working man is worthy OF
his hire, the business man of his profit.
The man who digs the precious metal
OF the earth is worthy of his wage.
The man who tells him where to find
the gold is worthy.o of his profit, too.
The great financial promoters, or
ganlzers, executives of America, are
worthy OF recognition and reward"

Time to Call a Halt.

and notably the Charlotte Observer
prints strong editorial showing
that the South is receiving a very
black eye in Northern money circles.
The wild men who are talking legis-
lation: the men who want to confis-
cate and destroy the railroads and
other interests have had their way
too long. They have right to do
what they are doing, right under
the law-but the conservative men;
the men who have property interests
at stake, should stand up like men
and say their say.
Too long the populists have domi-
mated. The men who are destroying
the States credit and pushing to-
wards bankruptcy some OF the great
est interests, never opened a set OF
books or paid a hundred dollars for
a freight bill.
They are shedding their skin and
sweating their blood for the "peepuP'

office. They should be allowed to
play their game-but the other peo-

To the Citizens of Henderson.

The undersigned and others circulated
petitions which were presented to the
Town Commissioners Aug. &c, and by
them referred to a committee asking
that an election be called to determine
whether Intoxicating liquors shall be
sold in the town. Opposition to the
election developed upon the ground that
contracts for schools, streets and roads
had been made that would require the
dispensary revenues until June 80, 1903.
Without conceding that any cause is or
can be sufficiently meritorious or any
contract so binding as to require for its
support or maintenance the profits OF
the price OF intoxicating liquors, and be-
lievlng the primary and sole object for
which any revenue therefrom can be lust
flied, is the policing OF those rendered
lawless by its use. yet after consulting
freely with those friends of temperance
entertaining on this point contrary
views, and in order to insure the result
as we believe practically without a con
test, we have concluded to present anoth-
err petition asking that the election be
ordered to determine whether intoxica-
ting liquors shall be sold in the town of
Henderson after June Both. 1908.
We ask all the voters of the town to
sign this petition and to assist in carry
ing the election and also in the enforce
ment OF the law after it is enacted.
Respectfully,
T. T. HICKS.

Communicated.

Mr. EDITOR: 1t has been reported in
our town that it is my opinion that the
dlspensary should continue in operation
until July, 1908.
want to say that do not think it
ought to run minute beyond the first
possibility of closing it, | do not think
that the money consideration ought to
ever occur to any mind who knows right
from wrong. | used to hear that one of
our former saloon men always intended
10 quit the saloon business as soon as he
had made Il certain amount of MONEY!
but the Anti-Saloon League paid no at
tenuon to his contracts or his intentions
although he was just and true to his
contracts.
IL seems to me to be very small con.
sIderatlon Tor such an evil that we must
sell whlskey to run a school. | believe
furthermore that we will have Just as
good schools and just as good business
with the spensary closed as we have
now. believe also that there will be a
better church attendance and less drunk
enness on Sunday than now.
AS TO my agreement: Ii there can be
found any considerable number OF men
who would vote to close the dispensary
say six months from now who would
otherwise vote for its continuance, why
then would agree to close it at any set
time rather than it should continue in.
definitely, but such an agreement would
he based on opening the dispensary from
. to O'Clock five days in the week and
closing 1t on Saturdays entirely. If any
one claims any agreement from me let
these be met and | am with him. II these
conditions are not met hope all will be
iairmlnded enough to say that | oppose
tne dlspensary all the time or any time.
NJ y bestjudgment is it ought to be closed
at once and what money has accuma.
lated from it should be sent to some far
away people that the curse may be re.
moved as far as possible These things
are plainly taught in the Bible and if they
are not true then am wrong.

The WorId-at-Large.

What was wonder a few years

grandfathers with amazement. The
march of Improvement tOdayis more
rapid than ever-sO rapid that it is
hardly possible to keep in touch with
it, unless, through the medium of the
most wonderful invention of all-the
reproduction of the motion as we'll as

medium that enables Lyman H.

the same delights of the Journey (but
without its discomforts) views the
impressive scenes and curious places
as if-with his own eyes, and mingles
with the motley throngs as if in per-

labor and planning and of many
years OF experience are condensed in
the program which will be shown in
Henderson on Wednesday evening
next, Sept. 18th. 1t visualizes this
