Last Sunday while a farmer liv-
ing west Of town was helping his
family into the buggy at the church
his team got frightened and ran
away with three of his children in
the buggy. August Kowalski at
tempted to stop them but was run
over by the buggy and got an ugly
cash about three inches long, cut
in his head. The children finally
got hold Of the lines and succeeded
in stopping the team. DR.. Stone
braker attended to Mr.. Kowalski's
injuries and he is getting along
nicely.
The married men and the single
men met on the ball ground Tues.
day afternoon, and had a series of
foot races. The game was played
for the benefit of the cemetery as

as though it might be for the un.
dertaker. Tony Diehl, in making
a grand and heroic slide at third
base came into contact with Guy
Brown, and came out of the wreck
with an elbow ~dislocated. The
honors of the game were won by
the base runners. The married
men left their better halves at
home, and the halves that were

Immense POTATO Adrnnce,

The farmers cannot get to the spuds
that are buried in the ground. Usu-
ally at this time there is very little
difficulty in getting at the potatoes
that have been stored away in pts
for the winter or spring trade, but
the cold has been so intense that it
has been impossible to disturb the
pits.
Even If the spuds could be taken
out of the pits or cellars there would
be danger in hauling them the FIVE
to 10 miles from the Mckee on ac-
count of the cold weather.
Today buyers are offering from $40
to s22 per ton for the choice stock.
At these figures it is impossible to get
a supply for the Sound trade. If the
potatoes were available 90 carloads
could be disposed OF at once in Seat
tle.-Yakima Republic.

Snow Plow Called Ont.

The only railway snow plow in
western Oregon, a rotary, stored at
the o. r. & N. shops at Albina, was
ordered .out yesterday for the first
time in years, and put in commission
to buck huge drift near Multnomah
falls, which stalled the westbound
Spokane flyer due here yesterday
morning. says Portland paper. The
machine seemed to enjoy the unwont-
ed exercise of diving into the drifts,
and was soon throwing snow over the
smokestack Of the locomotive propel-
ling it. This rotary has often seemed
useless to railroad men, so seldom is
1t required. In fact, officials of the
operating department do not recall
the last time It was called out.

$4,000 TOMBSTONES.

In recent article in a magazine
Carl Synder says that during the
past 10 years since statistics have
been tabulated by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, deaths on
the railroad have been 144, 900, per-
sonal injuries over 100000. J. l..
Lewis in the Pittsburg Dispatch
quotes these figures and adds:
If tombstones were erected for
those killed along the line it would
take IA 900 tombstones, nearly one
for every mile, and if a tablet were
also placed along the line for those
injured it would take Liza, 900 tab
let's, or one to less than every 1000
teet of railroad.
The worst of it is that the per-
centage of injury is increasing. In
1905 it was twice as dangerous to
travel Or work for the railway COM
painies as it was in 1895; the increase
OF risk is over 10 per cent. per an
mum. News and Observer.
And yet the Legislature of North
Carolina and all the other States
that have passed railroad laws
or discussed railroad reductions
have laid great stress on the reduc
ton Of passenger rates instead of
legislating for more safety and bet
ter service, and reduction in freight
rates.
This paper has contended all the
time that the best legislation con-
corning railroads is reduction of
freight rates and safer travel and
better service on passenger cars.
The little difference of half cent a
mile in passenger rates cuts a small
figure alongside the heavy freight
rates that consumers have to pay,
for the consumerApays all the charges
in the end And as to the reduction
in passenger fares, we have vet to
hear more people express desire
for it than for better protection and
safer travel.

SUPERINTENDENT WILSON'S HP-
POINTMENT.

As will be seen in another item in
this issue. Superintendent c. Y.
Wilson, of the Scotland Neck graded
school, has been appointed one Of
the trustees of the Eastern Carolina
Training School. His term is fer
six years. While this is quite COM
pIiment to Prof. Wilson, it is also
good for the institution which is to
be established, for Prof. Wilson is
one the foremost educators in the
State, and he will give his best
thought to discharging the duties
that the appointment imposes upon
him.

HALIFAX COUNTY'S BANKING "a
CU/7IES.

Until 1891 the people of Halifax
county had no banking privileges
and conveniences amongst them, but
did their banking business through
banks in Norfolk, Baltimore, Rich
mond, Wilmington, Raleigh, and
other places.
The first bank in the county was
opened by Mess. A. Mcdowell and
F. P. Shields in 1891, which con-
tinued to be the only bank in the
county for some time. But the
banking facilities of the county now
are second to those in no county in
this part of the State; and indeed
we doubt if any county in the State
has better banking facilities, accord
ing to the amount of business done.
There are now eight banks in Hal
flax county-one in Scotland Neck,
two in Weldon, two in Enfield, one
in Littleton, one in Roanoke Rapids
and one in Halifax; and handsome
new building is nearing completion
in Scotland Neck, in which another
bank will be opened very soon.
Perhaps in no other branch of bus
mess or industry has Halifax county
made such improvement and devel-
opment in the last decade as in it's
banking facilities. This shows that
the financial condition of the people
in the county is good, and that there
is general prosperity.
No class of persons in the county
has done more indirectly towards
bringing about this improved condi-
ton than the farmers of the county.
To be sure, the merchants do the
most business through the banks,
but there must always be back
ground for the merchants business:
and the products of the farms in
the county have been as solid sup
port as the merchants have had from
any source.
1t is true that the various manu-
featuring industries of the county
have furnished fine business for the
banks; but the farmers of the county
have done much towards making
this improved condition possible.
All told, Halifax county is to be
congratulated on it's fine banking
facilities, and the people find great
convenience in having so many of
these helpful institutions lust at
their doors.
