ClimbJ on the Water Wagon
by 10000 Majority

Raleigh, n. c.. May 27.-North Car
cline was carried for state prohibition
yesterday by majority that is esti-
mated at 10000 to $4,000. The prohi-
bition ticket has carried seventy
eight out of the ninety eight counties
by majorities approximating 4S,500.
The anti prohibition ticket has car
ried twenty counties by majorities
aprroximating 5000. p,
This calculation is based on SOM;
estimates and the prohibition leaders
say it is possible for the prohibition
u ajority to reach $4,000. A close es-
innate of the vote would give a pro-
bibition majority of about $4,000.
Yhe election passed off quietly, No
disturbances OF any moment being re-
ported. The total vote cast in the
state was about $4,000.

ANNUAL ROLL CALL
GREATER CAIRO BAPTIST
CHURCH IN EXTRAORDlNAR-
tLY HAPPY STATE.
Over Two Hundred Members Hear
Reports and Have Lunch
con, Music and
Toasts.

The Annual Roll Call at the Cairo
Baptist church last night was one of
the great events in the history of the
congregation in that 1t proved state
of harmony and prosperity and
prospective development such as has
been seldom shown and never
surpassed at these gatherings. There
We're over two hundred people pres
ent, all imbued with the spirit of
Christian good win, among them
some of the oldest members of the
congregation.
Pursuant to cali the officers of the
church and of the various depart
ments submitted their reports which
showed an excellent state of affairs;
the members responded to the roll
call with their names and with quo
tations from scripture; the male
.Quartette sang selections and Miss
Hall sang a solo.
The congregation were then invited
to the new annex which is in course
of completion, where the deacons and
.deaconesses had prepared a luncheon
OF sandwiches, coffee and cake. Here
Dr. Dunn presided as toastmaster,
and called for responses to several
phases of the subject: The Greater
Cairo Baptist Church" This subject
wes treated scripturally by Rev.
Ohrum, the pastor; materially by c.,
B. S Peunebaker. and financially by
Dr. Dunn. II was shown that in ali
these respects the church had made
striking progress-all going to aid in
the larger work which the congrega-
tion hopes to accomplish in the
future
A matter for special satisfaction
was that the plan adopted for the new
annex would permit its completion
at lower cost than was expected.
The structure needs now only the in
terror finishing and furnishing. and
viii he ready for use by the Sunday
school in the very near future.

C.&T. CONTRACTOR
GETS JUDGMENT
EIGHTEEN MULES KILLED ON c.
&E. TRACKS IN THIS COUN-
TY WORTH $1,000 CASE
TRIED IN MARION.

Readers of The Bulletin probably
remember the killing OF drove OF
mules belonging to contractor on
the Cairo Il Thebes railroad some
months ago. by a train or engine on
the c. & f. l. railroad. The case has
lust been tried and decided and judg-
ment rendered against the railroad
company for $4,000 by Judge Duncan
holding court I'M Marion The Leader
of that city has the following interest
ing story concerning the case as de-
yeloped at the trial:
The case of James Finucane
against the c. & f. /. r. r. Co. and
the /. c. r. R. Co, for the slaughter
Of eighteen head or mules which
were run down and killed about a
year ago by an |. c. engine on the
c. & e. l. track near Thebes, was
begun in the adjourned session of the
July term of circuit court in this city
Thursday morning and is proving to
be quite interesting to many.
The facts of the killing of the
mules are pretty we'll known here,
much having been said about it at
the time They were killed not a
great ways from the camp of Mr..
Finucane, who was then in that sec
ton building the dump of the Cairo
& Thebes railroad, he being a railroad
constructing contractor. The mules
killed were animals used in construc-
ton work, and were all very fine ones.
They had been purchased in this city
but a short time previous, care being
taken at the time TO get the very
largest and finest that money could
buy in this locality.
The killing occurred one night,
and, as said, was done by an |. c.
engine which was out on the c. &
E. |. track on its way from Cairo to
Thebes, the |. c. not having a track
of its own, but possessing a right TO
use the c. & f. |. track. The killing
is considered one of the most remark.
able Of its kind ever heard of, all of
the animals having been run for
about a quarter of a mile up the track
before they were finally struck, one or
two at a time, and killed. Strange 20
say, every one was killed in the same
manner, by having his head or his
limbs cut off; not one body remained
on the track after it was struck or
was mutilated more than having the
head or limbs severed. The dead
bodies were found shortly afterwards
each lying by the side Of the track,
one about the same distance from an
other Some others that were in the
bunch were injured. but later recov-
cred.
On account Of the relations Of the
two roads the l. c. and the c. & f.
l., was a hard matter for Mr.. Finu
canes attorneys to decide which Of
the two was responsible for the dam
ages. and in order to make case
that would stand, brought suit against
the two. This will, il seems, cause an
other suit later, one i'm which the two
roads will be the principals. How
ever. II the Judge should instruct the
Jury in the Finucane VS. e. q f. J. ct
al case to determine which of the two
roads is responsible for the damage.
