Ahead is The Alleged Cause
of the Fearful Crash.
(By special wire to The AReUs.)

Raleigh, Jan. 18.-A head-on col

board trains resulted in two men be-
ing killed and a score or more injured.
The injured engineer Vaughan died in
Raleigh at IL O'Clock this morning.

The dead engineer, E. II. Vaughan,
at Rex Hospital. His home was here.
Hump. Townsend, colored fireman
of she passenger train, was killed al
most instantly.
The freight train had an order to
wait at Southern Pines, and the crew
of the freight say that the air brakes
failed to work properly and, finding
tina; Southern Pines could not be reach
ed, the train undertook to enter the
siding at Cameron. The passenger
train, running thirty miles an hour,
crashed head-on into the freight, with
fearful results.

injured cared for.

It Is impossible to estimate how many
homes have been protected against Group
by the proper use of Peruna.
Household Remedies.
There is no remedy in the world
which has proven SO popular for catarrh
as Peruna. It has been used for more
than thirty years and cured thousands
of cases., as proven by our testimonials.
In h early history of this country
every family had its homemade medi-
cines. Herb teas, bitters, 1axatives and
tonics were to be found in almost every
house, compounded by the housewife,

sometimes assisted by the apothecary or
the family doctor.
Furnishing medical compounds direct
to the people, through the druggists, is
simply the extension of the practice be-
gun by the people themselves.
Nervous System a Wreck.
John G.. Hirdler, Garfield, Kas., writes:
"On December 2, 1859, I was injured

Few people realize how frequently
Group is caused by catarrhal congestion
of the throat. Probably nine cases outof
ten of Group is Of the catarrhal variety.
The medical profession recognizes
three forms Of Group. The spasmodic va
riety, membranous Group and catarrhal
Group.
Nearly every case is of the catarrhal va
riety, INC a few doses of Peruna taken at
the first appearance of the catarrhal
symptoms is generally sufficient to avert
the attack Of Group altogether.
Group is q frightful disease. No dis
case of children so alarr1s the household.

BIG COTTON DEAL.
.a.a.sE .l.... :.
Largest Single Sale of Record
Closed Here on Saturday By Messrs.
Best 6 Thompson, .0ur city's Lead
ing Cotton Buyers.

On Saturday last Mr.. B. G. Thomp-
son, of the firm of Best & Thompson,
closed with Mr.. D. H. Graves, local
representative of Messrs. Alex Sprunt
& Son, the noted cotton exporters of
Wilmington, the largest single cotton
deal of local record, embodying 1902
bales, the price paid being above IL
cents, and approXimating one hundred
thousand dollars.
1t will require two trains of 80 cars
each to transport this cotton to Will
mington, and while it is large in bulk
and the money sum required to move
it is great, there is a yet more impressive
feature-and one that is exceedingly
prideful and gratifying to the ARGUS
emphasized in this transaction: it is
that a GoldsborQ firm has not only the
financial ability to hold at pleasure, as
one item in their great business, so
large an mount of cotton, but also the
patriotism to hold it, in the interest Of
| the farmers movement to hold for bet
ter prices, through all the fluctuations
of the market, until such time as h
price met that demand.
It did not require this incident, how
ever, to impress the mt with the
fealty of the sympathy OF Messrs. Best
& Thompson in whatever trends tor
their welfare. No business firm in the
State enjoys in fuller measure the con-
fdence and patronage OF tho farmers
throughout the wide territory encom-
passed by their trade.
In fact, both Mr.. Best and MI.
THOMPSON are themselves extensive
farmers, and we doubt If any one
farmer in this county, or in this Sec
ton, surpassed Mr.. Thompson in the
number of bales of cotton raised by
him last year. We have heard that un'
der his personal supervision OF hi
farming operations he raised nearly
$50 bales last year.
Is it not, therefore, with good reason
, in the light OF such business transac
tions and farming operations as re
corded in this article, that the ARGU
claims thai we've got the Best Tow
) in the State.

There is no way to positively ascertain
how many families In the United States

The number must be a great one. Sever

how to s Peruna for ordinary all

Such ailments as coughs and colds,
sore throat and catarrh, Group and collie,

promptly relieved by q few doses of

SOCIALISTS, PR0HIBI1IONISTS and IN

Bismarck, N. D. Oct. 6. Sec
retary of State Blaisdell has de-
cided to grant the petition of the
Socialists, Prohibitionists and In
dependents league and place the
names of their presidential electors
on the ballot for the general cleo
tion this fall, so there will be a
delectable choice for the voter to
pick from when he focks by him
self in the sacred precincts of the
voting booth.
The Socialists held a convention
last fall and selected an entire
state ticket and electors, which
list was certified to the secretary,
but inasmuch as the state ticket
did not have the required 80 per
cent vote attached, the ticket was
cast out into outer darkness and
the members will have to be salts
fed with the glory of having been
mentioned anyway.

own way through life. He left
Wisconsin in 1898, coming to this
state and locating at Churchs Fer

and during the next five years at

became a candidate for sheriff of
this county last spring and was
nominated on the Republican
ticket at the primaries on June "a.
While attending the State Uni
versity Mr.. Olson took a two
years course in the law school,
and we believe the voters will
take this, together with the fact
OF his four years training as depu-
ty in Benson county, into consid-
GRAFTON when voting for a sheriff
for this county, November Bird.
A sheriff goes up against PROPOSE
Jions quite often where an under
standing of the law would enable
him to act at once, and without
fear of exceeding his authority.

his duty without fear or favor.

Minot, N. D., Oct. 6.-Col. j.
G. Marcy, II years old, once one

recorded in many supreme court
records in the eastern states as
we'll as in North Dakota, was
burned to death at his home at
Sixth and Reishus streets, in this

cape but was overcome by the
smoke and flames and fell face
downward near the bed. He was
dead before the fire department
arrived.

Woman Robbed

Mrs. Pete Hammer who lives in
the northeastern part of the city,
was robbed last Monday evening
about eight o'clock at the corner
near the Catholic church. She
was on her way home and just as
she turned the corner at the
church she was stopped by man
who struck her several times,
knocking her down. He then
robbed her of her pocketbook and
took to his heels. When the man
struck Mrs. Hammer she called
for help and George Boyd and an
other young man at the livery
barn, hearing her cries started on
a run to see what was the trouble.
When they arrived the man was
running away and they took after
him. He was a good sprinter
however and escaped the boys.
They later notified the police and
they arrested man in the G. N.
depot who seemed to answer the
description. When questioned he
stated that his name was j. Il.
Trainor but that he knew nothing
of the trouble and was not the
man wanted. He had hearing
this morning and was discharged
as there was no evidence present
ed to show that he was the guilty
party.

IN VESllBVLE MONDAY.

David Peterson, young man
who was beating his way east on
Number four Monday morning,
had his head crushed between the

Stop the "Jingo."

With the passing of the tin
horn and bass drum" method of
re-establishing prosperity, we
may reasonably expect to see the
country progress toward a normal
trade condition in legitimate
manner. The prospect for fair
crops snd the slow but sure awak-
ening of business confidence
means satisfactory conditions be-
ginning with the first month of
1909. The prosperity clamor may
have served a good purpose, and
it has not unduly excited the con-
servative manufacturer, but all
the outcry and hubbub have not
increased the respect and the bust
ness confidence of our foreign GUS
toners. We can imagine the i'm
porters and consumers of Argen-
tine or Cape Colony, or New
South Wales reading with some
amazement of the tom-tom beat
ing and war dances recently car
ried on here in the name of pros
perity. If we, on our part,
should see in the mornings cable
dispatches that a German Prosper
ity League had foregathered at
Homburg, there to shout innu-
merable Hochs! in favor of a re-
turn of prosperity, our natural
impression would be that the leu
tonic business man was whistling
to keep his courage up. Optim-
ism is a fine thing, but it doesn't
pay bills or turn the factory
wheels. American Industries for
