her old mistress on her way north

asked a blessing on the meal as
usual, when the girl said:
"My master, We maun haze &

WAS STRUCK BY MOVING CAR
v. n. Williams sustaIns Serious In
Jury Monday
CARRIED TO WATTS HOSPITAL At ONCE
In An Attempt 10 Board Park Car N.
williams s Struck BY Car Going
In Opposite Direction.

Mr.. w. M. Williams, better
known everywhere by the name
of Sock" Williams. was serious
ly hurt Monday morning in an
attempt to board q car for the
park.
Mr.. Williams was in the Office
Of the Traction company on West
Main street and learned that he
was needed out at the park. He
came out to the front just as the
car bound for the park was
passing and made an attempt to
catch the car, failing to notice
the car going east. He was
struck by the east bound car.
The force Of the blow that he
received broke his left leg, below
the knee, there being q COM
pound fracture Of the bones.
This threw him forward and
across the track but the fender
picked him up and saved further
hurt, except the fall hurt his
head slightly. 1t was almost a
miraculous escape from instant
death.
When picked up and taken into
the Office from which he had just
come, where he was attended by
! physicians, it was found that he
was bleeding about the face and
ear, but these wounds are
thought to be superficial. The
bad break of the leg is the worst
wound that he suffered.
As soon as the ambulance could
be made ready he was taken to
the hospital and there the broken
bones were set and the wounds
dressed.
Mr.. Williams for some time
has been manager of the ice
plant for the Traction company.
and has many friends in Durham
and surrounding counties that
will be panied to learn Of his mis-
fortune.
AT last accounts he was resting
well, and aside from being laid
up for some time serious trou-
bles are not looked for. It is in
deed fortunate that he was not
killed outright, and the use Of
the fender was the main thing
that prevented such a result.

vsVsVvV VuWoNCo 6oa0u tU1s
A suit that has created a great
deal of talk for the past week in
Durham, was begun in Durham

suit have created the talk.

years has conducted a small store
in North Durham. who recently
left his home and remained away
forssome time. has returned and
now enters suit against Albert v.
Sorrel for the alienation of his
wife's affection and destroying
his domestic happiness.
For some time rumors have
been afloat Of the intimacy of
Sorrel and Mrs. Edwards, but
nothing has been in shape to give
to the public until action was be-
gun in the courts Monday.
Enough Of the story can be un-
derstood when it is stated that
Mr.. Edwards considers his home
ruined by Sorrel, and after due
consideration has decided to act
upon the advice Of his attorneys
and enter suit against Sorrel.
The affair was given undue
prominence recently by the ap-
pearance of Mrs. Sorrel at the
police station with q gun demand
ing that an officer accompany
her to the home of the Edwards
woman. This was done and Sor-
rel was found there as If he had
been at home.
Since then murmurings have
been going on all around and on
ly q few days ago Mr.. Edwards
returned to the city. Mrs. Ed.
wards. left the city soon after the
stir raised by Mrs. Sorrel when
her home was visited by her and
the policemen. and the last heard
of her was from Raleigh. when
she wrote Mr.. Edwards than she
hoped for forgiveness and ttat
he would raise the children
seven in number.

The Mound Builders.

N. H. Winchell, writing in the
Popular Science Monthly, dwells
upon the enormous antiquity in
their present habitat of the In
dian tribes who constructed the
mounds" The great variety of
dialects, none of which are con-
nected with those of Europe or
Asia, indicates, he says, either that
the present population originated
from a number of successive migra-
tons or, which is more probable,
from a continuous occupation OF
American soil. 1t is certain that
the mound builders were the ances-
tors Of some of the existing tribes.
Both the Algonkian stork in the
northeastern United States and
Both the Algonkian stock in the
great plains west of the Mississippi
were mound builders. In Minneso-
ia the two stocks coincidentally oc-
cupied the territory, dividing it be-
tween them at the same time when
the white mans invasion began.
