A RAILROAD SULKING.
The Norfolk and Western
Said to be Out of Humor.
The Conference Called For By The
Governor May Be Called Off
For Lack of Attendance
By Railroad Officials.

(By Special Wire to the ARGUs)
Raleigh, Aug. S.-If the statement is
true hat is reported today the Norfolk
and Western people are dumpy and
disincline to meet the governor and the
Corporation Commission in conference,
because that road has been singled out
for the first operation.
It now seems probable that the con-
ference set for tomorrow will not mate
~rialize.
The Norfolk and Western case, tor
alleged freight rate discrimination, was
at first set for today, Thursday, but
was put back a day SO as to have the
freight traffic manager here at the con.
ference. But it is said today he will
not answer the summons, and being in
another State, lat Norfolk) he claims
the service on him was not legally
binding.
It is not certain hat any Of the
freight traffic managers will be here.
Unless arrangements can be perfect
ed to have representatives of all thu
four roads affected here the conferenc,
may be called off for the present.

HEAD-ON COLLISION.
Forgot the M0et Order On the Pas.
Senqer Train.
(By Special Wire to the AReus.)

(By Special Wire to the ARGUs.)
Auburn, N. c., Aug. LOCKED in a
mighty death embrace two huge en-
gines of the Southern Railway were
piled into each other within q mile of
this place last night, and in the wreck
g the dead bodies of an engineer and
a fireman, both white, were consumed,
while the body of another dead fireman,
a negro. lay on the hillside till taken
from here on a special to Raleigh. No
were not seriously hurt.
The wreck, perhaps the most terri
BILE ever occurring On this division, was
caused by a head-on collision of the
eastbound passenger train No. 1876 and
the ~westbound through freight No. 70.
1t was caused by the overlooking of the
orders to meet the freight at Auburn,
given to Conductor G. M. Oakley and
Engineer Will c. Rippey, in Raleigh,
and Conductor Oakley takes the blame,
saying frankly that he forgot the order
in working a heavy train. Engineer
Rippey, who m~iraculously escaped,
says that he does not know anything of
the occurrence of the wreck, M said
simply II forgot, when asked about
the train orders.
The men killed in the wreck were all
train employees and are:
w. c.. Parker, of Spencer, white, en-
gineer on freight, aged about 80, and
leaves a wife and two children.
John Young, OF Greensboro, white
fireman on freight, a new employe or
road, whose first name is in doubt, no
one seeming to know it, one man say
ing he thinks it is John.
w. J. Bethel, Of Greensboro. A negro
fireman on passenger, about IS years
old. Leaves a wife and four children.
There were no casualties among the
many passengers on the train, and
there are no very serious injuries, al
excepting three being able to continue
the trip towards Goldsboro on a spec.
ial, while three injured came back te
Raleigh, two going to the hospital, one
to have a cut on his head looked after
and another for a sprained ARM.
LATER:-There have been no deaths
among those injured in the wreck or
the Southern last night, ten miles south
east of Raleigh, as told in morning dis
patches.

Philosophy Of Cheerfulness.

A friend has kindly contributed from
memory the following lines, which for
lack of a better name we have given
the heading above. They are worthy
of a place in every scrap-book, and
better still-in every home and indi-
vidual heart. The philosophy of cheer
fitness, when we follow it, is the secret
of happiness, both for ourselves and
those dependent upon us. Try it'd
itor ARGUS:
There's many a trouble
Would burst like a bubble,
And into the waters Of Letbe depart,
Did we not rehearse it.,
And tenderly nurse it.
And give it a permanent place in our
heart.
There's many q sorrow
Would vanish tomorrow,
We're we but willing to furnish it wings;
So sadly intruding,
And quietly brooding,
| It matches all sorts Of horrible things.
How welcome the seeming
OF looks that are beaming,
Whether ones wealthy, or whether
ones poor;
Eyes bright as a berry,
| Cheeks red as a cherry,
The groan and the curse and the heart.
ache can cure.
Resolve to be merry,
All worry to ferry
Across the famed waters that bid us
forget;
No longer be fearful,
But be happy and cheerful,
And think there's something worth
living for yet.

THAT jacksonville SCHOOL
QUESTION.

Dear MIR. Editor:
Having only lately come in posses
sion of your paper, which contains a
lengthy article concerning the David
sonville school controversy, beg you
will print the following in justifca-
ton of the teachers
In his long harangue Mr.. Fleming Ga
minister OF the Methodist Church
has not proved yet why the teachers
should have been requested To resign.
When they took the contract TO
teach, this gentleman asserts, they
also contracted to have the school
room kept in order and If nobody
else would do this, they ought to
have done the work.
The contract is not constructed SO
in that case, teachers in Anne Arunde
county would soon abandon the
county.
/ will say here that these teachers
did not make the rules and regulations
for cleaning and making fires, but
followed precedent which had been
established for years.
AS soon as trouble began in regard
to the janitor's work the trustees were
notified and the ladies in question
acted in the whole matter by their
advice.
The lady who wished her daughter
excused from sweeping told the young
lady teacher that it was not necessary
to give reason, she did not want
her TO do il, that was ALL
1t was unjust 10 excuse one child
for no reason whatever, and expect the
other children to do this work. All
kinds of complications resulted. AS
For tho abi11 "a ho swami ttrsHpr tho saot
Of the unwilling child, il was case
of disobedience and had to be correct
ed.
The Reverend gentleman draws a
good deal on rnis Imagination when
ne pictures the piIful plight e the
liscomforts of the children in the
schoolroom. l would suggest here
that the teachers, for the sake of
their own comfort, would not let such
conditions prevail, they as well as
the children had to occupy these
rooms.
1t is sad that the little girl should
have suffered from frozen feet in con-
sequence of these discomforts, but the
weather before Christmas was hardly
such as to justify the assertion.
1t is most unjust that these ladies
should have been deprived of their
work, when they were giving entire
satisfaction as teachers. Both ladies
were dependent on teaching for q liv-
ing just as this minister is dependen
on preaching for the same reason.
The attacks on two women who were
doing their duty by man of his call
ing was unwarranted. They should
not have resigned, but should have
fought the case.
