Runaway Accident.
Statesyill e Landmark. June s0th.
Saturday afternoon about
o'cock Mrs. Mary Watts and be-
son, John Watts, were going from
Statesville to their home in LoraJ
community when the mule they
were driving took fright at or neal
the Taylorsville railroad crossing
in Bloomfield, and ran away
Mrs. Watts and her son were
thrown from the buggy. The lat
ter was run over by the buggy but
was not hurt. Mrs. Watts re.
ceived a severe cash on her fore
head, the flesh being cut to the
bone, and severe bruises on her
shoulder and side. It is probable
that rib is fractured. She was
taken to the home of Mrs. A. E.
Heath, near the scene of the acci-
dent, and physicians summoned.
Sunday morning Mrs. Watts was
removed to the home of her nieces,
Misses Matte and Sallie Thomas,
on north Center street, where she
now is. Her injuries are quite
painful and she has suffered
much, but it is hoped that she
will be up in q few days.
Mrs. Caroline Mcfarland suf-
fered painful accident at the
home of her son, John McFar-
land, in west Statesville, late
Sunday evening, Mrs. McFar-
land is about so years old and in
attempting to carry a number of
books across the room she fell to
the floor with considerable force
While IL is not thought that any
bones were broken her hip was
badly sprained and bruised and
she is suffering much.

drawn at this time,'' said a by
stander when The Landmark bulle-
tined the news Saturday after
noon that the Johnson county
farmer had quit the game "It's

Lieut.. W. S. Sinclair, of Char
lotte, was in town a few hours
yesterday morning en- route to
Asheville, where he will examine
> number of applicants for SER
vice in the United States army.
Mr.. Sinclair stated that last
month was q record breaker in the
number of enlistments in the
army IN this district, and that
Sergt. T. M. Hudson, who is in
charge of the Statesville recruit
ing station, helped to make it a
record-breaker. During NJ ay,
1907, only seyen men were enlist
ed at the six stations comprising
this district, and during May,
1908, 36 men were enlisted. The
number this month may be larger.
The recent increase in the pay of
officers and soldiers is one cause
of the increase.

One Good Result From Prohibition.
(Hickory Times-Mercury)

Prohibition has done good already.
Ex-Governor Aycock says he has not
expects to take another.
Governor Glenn says he has not
tasted drop in two years, and never
expects to take another.
Hon. Locke Craig, a few years ago,
helped the liquor men carry Ashe-
vile, but he will never do so again.
FourSyears ago, when Mr.. Glenn
was nominated, liquor was used by
the barrel and many delegates got
drunk, but it won't be so any more.
One time a drunken red shirt gang
terrorized many sections of our State
and kept white men from the polls,
but it will never occur again.

Insurance Defrauder Arrested i'm
Philadelphia.

The following story was sent out
from Laurinburg, this State, Mon.
day night:
wv. J. Mills, who was arrested in
Philadelphia, worked at this place
while he was agent for the New
York Life Insurance Company with
headquarters at Charlotte He be-
came a fast friend of Mrs. Hattie w.
Bryant, widow of the late Ben Bry-
ant, eX-sheriff of Richmond County.
Mills wrote insurance for her, pre-
tending to give her one kind of pol
icy and really giving her another.
This error was discovered about one
year ago, and under the workings of
Insurance Commissioner Young was
corrected. At the suggestion of Mr.
Mills, Mrs. MCLAUGHLIN gave him
money on two occasions to deposit
in the Charlotte banks, they paying
a greater interest at that time than
the local banks. He was faithful to
his trust until the last time, when
he skipped with the money, about
s1,400. Indictments charging him
with fraud and embezzlement have
been found by Scotland County
grand jury. For more than a year
Mr.. J. r. Young has had charged of
this case, and after many almost
successful attempts. finally succeed
ed in capturing his man Saturday
evening in Philadelphia.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. H. MCLAUGHLIN
left Sunday afternoon for Philadel-
phia to identify Mills. 1t is thought
that he will be here by Friday, and
if he is, he will probably be tried
this week, as criminal court is in
session here"

WOMAN FIGHTS FOR HER LIFE.
Mrs. Robert Wells Attacked In Her
Home by Negro-Received Many
Bruises and Several Cuts.

Bru1ses and Sevefni Cuts.
The following dispatch was sent
out from Wilson Monday night:
This morning about 10 O'Clock
Mrs. Robert Wells, who resides In
Old Fields Township. went into her
kitchen garden to gather vegetables
for dinner. After doing so she re-
turned TO the house. Just az she en-
tered the house, she received q blow
which knocked her TO the door. On
looking up she saw a small-sized.
neatly-dressed negro standing over
her. She then started TO make an
outcry but her attempt was frus-
trated by the black scoundrel, who
slapped his hand over her mouth.
He then dragged her into a near
room and slammed her down on the
bed with such force that several of
the Stats were broken and the mat
tress smashed through to the floor.
She fought desperately when the
wretch grabbed her around the
throat, got out his knife and en-
deavored to put an end to her exist
ence. Heroically she fought for her
life and In the scufie had two or
three fingers badly cut Then she
let out a scream. when the black de-
vii ran.
Hearing her screams, her broth
er. Mr. Robert Davis. who was I'm q
field nearby. rushed to the house
and caught up his gun and let drive
both loads at the fleeing negro. He
says he thinks at least one load took
effect, as the scoundrel threw up his
arms at the crack OF the gun. Mr..
Davis came post-haste to Wilson and
sent DR.. w. s. Anderson to look af-
ter the condition of his sister.
After dispatching the doctor.
Mr.. Davis. in company with Ofacer
Warren, went in one direction. while
Mr.. John Lucas with his hounds
from the stockade went In another
direction In search of the monster"
