What Happened to Jones

At the Grand Theatre last Friday
night "was a plenty" This was one
of the richest plays ever presented
in Henderson. 1t had been seen here
twice before-by another company
but it lost none OF its interest and
enjoyment even to those to whom it
was not new. Richard Milton, as
Jones, drummer, acted his part to
perfection, and equally good in their
respective roles were Frederick Wal
lace as Prof. Ebenezer Cooley; Miss
Georgiana Wilson as Mrs. Cooley;
Miss Grace Barton as Alvina Star
light, the old maid; while Miss JOS
olyn Taylor as Marjorie, daughter of
Prof. and Mrs. Cooley: Miss Lora
Tamareux as Cissy, the Professors
ward; Miss Gertrude Doherty as
Helma, the servant, who saw moth
ing; Mr.. Sidney Ewing as the Bishop
of Ballarat, and Mr.. C. W. Beach as
Richard, in love with Majorie, were
equal to the characters essayed by
them. 1t was q we'll balanced COM
pany, a delightful comedy, and moth
ing was lacking in the manner of it's
presentation. The audience was
thoroughly we'll pleased and kept in
boisterous laughter from the begin
ding of the first act until the curtain
went down on the closing scene.

Personal.

Mr.. Julian E. Ingle, Jr., of New
York City, is here visiting his father,
Rev. Julian E. Ingle, and is warmly
greeted by his many friends. 1t has
been ten years since he left Hender-
son to seek fame and fortune in the
great metropolis, and time seems to
have dealt kindly with him. Mr..
Ingle says when he went away he
resolved that he would not come
back until he got rich. Realizing
that if he waited for this he would
never see the old town again he de-
termined to come anyhow. But
however this may be he has prosper
ed. He is now president of the APP
peal Printing Company, doinga large
business printing briefs and cases on
appeal, job and book printing, etc.
And three years ago he led to the
marriage altar charming young
woman, who with their little fourteen
months old daughter is with him.
What greater riches could a man
gain than the heart and hand, the
love and companionship OF a good
woman? Possessing these who will
say then that our young friend could
not come hack to the old home and
the friends of his youth again with
out breaking the resolution he made
when he went away?

stalled as pastor of the Henderson,

delivered an address on.."The Pres

Carolina" Full of patriotic senti-
ment, high inspiration and some
thing OF the marvellous achievements
OF the Baptist people in this State

upon this gifted young man and the
subject to which he addressed him
self.
Wednesday night there was a round
table discussion on "The Work of the

on the face of the fact that this was the

Fatal Railroad Accident.

All accident occurred in the yard
of the Seaboard Railroad here Satur-
day night with fatal result to tue
unfortunate victim. Oma Hath
cock. a young white man who lived
near the Harriet cotton mill, was
run over by freight train and had
both legs cut off near the hips. He
had been drinking and with a com
panion he was conducted away from
the business part of town and order
| ed to go home some time previously.
But he came back and afterwards
attempted to get on freight with
the intention OF beating his way
to Raleigh he said He got on the
train just outside of the yard limit
| and when it stopped at the station
he was pulled off and told to go
away. When the train started he
tried to get on again, but missed his
hold and fell under the wheels. This
was about 8 o'clock A short while
thereafter he was found lying on the
track with both legs cut off. He had
two bottles OF whiskey in his pockets
| at the time.
The unfortunate man was taken
into the freight depot and laid on a
mattress and made as comfortable
as possible. He did not seem to SUI
fer pain the shock deadening the
nerves and paralyzing him. Physi-
clans were summoned but it was seen
that nothing could be done for him.
1t was only a question of how long
he would live-but a few hours at
most. The poor fellow seemed to
fully realize his condition and said
he alone was to blame. He was con-
scious up to the last and talked free
~ with those around him. He died
about 5 o'clock Sunday morning.
