far as can be ascertained, these unfor-
tunate children have experienced no
dtmculty in obtaining poison. The most
deadly drugs have been used repeat
edly and it is time that something was
done to put end to it. Efforts are
being made to discover the guilty drug

he be found he will be vigorously prose-
cuted."

His Life Crushed Out.

A telephone message Monday
night from Mr.. L. J. Rodden. in
Burlington, told of the accidental
killing of Mr.. G. w. Denny, a
carpenter working under him as
foreman while putting in the
forms for the city waterworks al
that place.
The engineering work has been
done by Mr.. Gilbert C White,
who has spent many weeks in
going over it all. The force had
been hard at work all night
making the form. The reservoir
had been concerted and there
didn't appear any danger and
there certainly wasn't any to the
naked eye. 1t was eleven o'clock
when Mr.. Rodden sent his men
down into the hole and made
ready to put in the frame. The
ground moved, caved in on Mr..
Denny and narrowly missed sew
eral others. The unfortunate
man was buried, his bones broken
and death was almost instanteous
A physician was Immediately
summoned but it was seen that
there was no chance to save the
injured man. A Mr.. johnson,
also working with Mr.. Denny,
was hurt severely, perhaps a bone
broken, but not dangerously.
There was no way to prevent the
accident. Nobody was to blame.
Mr.. Denny was As years old
and leaves a family. He was a
carpenter by trade but had done
electrical work and once lived
here. He has been working I'M
der Mr.. Rodden, who is also a
Durham man, ever since the con-
tract began. He was a good
worker, a provident, frugal man
and in the hour of distress to his
family, leaves an insurance poll
cy of $1,000. Nothing regarding
funeral arrangements could be
gathered over the wire last
night.

Thanksgiving Day orphans Day.

The good people Of North Caro-
lima have chosen Thanksgiving
Day as a'time for special offer
ings to the orphans home of our
State.
We have abundant cause fol-
gratitude to God. Can we in q
better way express our thanks
to Him than by heartily joining
in to care for and train Alright
homeless, orphan children?
When. impellea by spirit of
gratitude, we do for these little
ones, does the great Father OF
the fatherless not accept it as
d)ne for Him?
At present the demands upon
and needs of the orphans homes
of North Carolina are unusually
large. The Thanksgiving offer
ing will be a great factor in en-
abling these institutions to con-
tinue their beneficent work.
The cause appeals to our SYM
pathies, to our reason, to Our
sense of justice.
We hope even a larger number
of our people will unite this time
in the interest of this work and
that the gifts will be, in all re-
spects, greater than any of the
offerings of former years. We
believe the interest of our people
in this cause is deepening and we
look for even more liberal support
to our orphanages.
