THE foregoing affirmation is not

commendable, but when exercised as

Willis Watkins. "a White Man FROM

Train Struck His Buggy
and Death Came.
and Death Came.

Alternating to cross the track OF the
Norfolk and southern Railway Com
panv's ward near Glennwood last even
ing about six O'Clock, a white man
supposed to be Willis Watkins, OF
Wake county, about 35 years OF age
was so badly injured that he later
die.
Watkins was driving a mule to his
vehicle and was on the track before
he was seen from the engine, when
crashed into the wagon. tearing II 10
pieces. and at once killing the mule.
Watkins was thrown come distance
and was unconscious when picked up
by men from the train.
1t was the outgoing passenger train
which struck the team. and 1t could
not be learned definitely last night as
to the approach to the railroad track.
or how 1t was that Watkins failed to
be warned in time. 1t was a rainy
evening and had become quite dark
at the hour the accident occurred at
the Durham crossing near the Glen
wood yard.
While the name of the man is
given as Willis Watkins, this Is not
known to be accurate. but is the best
information as to the dead mans iden-
tity to be obtained last night. Shortly
after the accident he was taken to
Rex Hospital for treatment, but died
there about ten o'clock. His legs were
broken and there were internal in
juries that caused death. The body
was taken to the Brown undertaking
establishment last night to be pre-
pared for burial.

Trenton, n. j.. Nov. 2.-The cam
paign in New Jersey practically closed
tonight. The only important contest
is thai for the governnorshiD which
was hard fought. John Franklin
Fort, Republican candidate. and
Frank S. Katzenbach. Jr.. the Demo-
cratic nominee conducted a vigorous
campaign, both speaking in all parts
of the State. New Jersey is nominally
Republican, but the Democrats hope
to profit by Republican dissessions
and a German detection in favor of
Katzenbach. The outcome of the
contest may fairly be said to be in
doubt. The Republican leaders
claim Fort will win by p. 600 ma
jority. while Katzenbach's managers
declare their candidate will carry the
State BY about 5000. 1t is expected
that the Republicans will retain con-
troll of the State senate. but may lose
control OF the house the same as they
did last year.
