1t is not an easy thing for man to
separate himself from the thought and
activity and purpose Of the community
in which he lives, and to pursue an isO-
lated, disconnected and selfish part.
He can't do it, indeed; and if he tries
it he will only reduce himself to a cipher
or stumbling block. The community
will get on somehow, for thrust; but if
it have many members of this kind it
will be unprOgressiYe. Man in isOla-
ton is of little consequence, next to
nothing. His association with others,
the inspiration he receives from others,
draw out his powers. Out of the ac-
ton and interaetiOn of currents of mind,
affected and even directed by variant
views or opinions, comes the whole
progress of man, of society, of the hu-
man race.

WERE A HELP 10 LIVE OAK.

The Suwsnnee Democrat in its exu-
berance of jOY over the city Of Live
Oak getting a new depot, among Others,
thanks the Railroad Commission for the
improvement. To our certain knOwl-
edge the Railroad Commission sat
around ike bumps on a log for several
years until the people of that city
forced them to get a move on them
selves. The assertion was made by the
officials Of the SeabOsrd that the depot
would have been built but for the ap-
peal to the commission and the asser-
ton proved true. When the railroad
companies got ready to build the depot
there, they paid no more attention to
the commission than they would to
three jack rabbits. Tampa is in the
same boat, when the SeabOard, A. c.
L., and Tampa Northern get ready to
build the union depot in that city they
will do it, and in the interim, snap their
fingers at the Railroad Commission, and
the people foot their bills for junketmg
tours to Tampa. Inverness Chronicle.
The Chronicle is somewhat in error as
to its statements regarding the cOndi-
tons which brought about Live Oak Sc
curing the new union depot. The truth
about this city's experience in the fight
for the new depot is as follows, and
dates back a number of years. The
first real determined effort was made
some FIVE or six years ago when COM
mittee from the old board of trade was
appointed to appear before a meeting
of the Railroad Commission, at which
meeting, officials of the different rail-
roads entering this city were present,
and at this meeting the officials Of the
SeabOard and Atlantic Coast Line prom
ised the Live Oak Board of Trade COM
mittee that if they would withdraw the
matter from the Railroad Commission
they would build the depot, and that
work would commence upon it within
three months. This appeared fair and
the Board of Trade withdrew their ap-
peal to the commission. Theresult was
the railroad companies broke every
promise made. Last January, after wait
ing nearly years, the Boad Of Trade
again took the matter up with the Rail
road Commission, which resulted in the
commission, after a hard and deter
mined fight, Gin which Mayor Mcneil
and Mr.. Letcher were the leaders for
the Board of Trade ordered the

LEARNING FROM A NEGRO.

We ran across an'oId negro the other
day who can neither read nor write, but
who has kept his eyes open, and has
reached some progressive conclusions
that ought to make some Of our white
farmers rather ashamed Of themselves,
says The Raleigh IN. c. Progressive
Farmer.
When he hauled cotton 10 the market
the other day. this negro got q better
price per pound than our white farmers
have been getting, because the buyer
said it was about the best bale that he
had seen this season. Tho cd negro
never lets a bale lie out IN the weather,
but keeps it housed, and when he gins
his cotton he always instructs the gin
ner to put good bagging on Il.
Il have always noticed. ," said the Old
darkey in talking to Us, that any
thing that looks nice and good, no mat
ter what it IS. fetehes more money.
The good bagging that put on my
cotton costs twenty cents a bale extra,
and l believe I sometimes get 81 a bale
more on account Of the neat-IOOking
bagging, not to say anything Of the
better price | get on account Of keep
ing the cotton dry and under shelter. I"

Pittsfield Flyer from New New York Went Off Tracks at Cornwall Bridge E  ASSISTANT SUPT.
 CARR INJUREDs
Train Was Crowded With Wealthy Summer Resi- dents of the Berkshire Resorts Going Home for Sunday Every Car Left the Track Men andz Women Prayed.

Nothing less than ProvidenfaI in terference seems to have averted one of the worst railroad horrors in the history of the New Haven road, Sat- urday afternoon, when the fast express that leaves New York for Pittsfie1d, Mass, at D. m. left the tracks at Cornwall Bridge station and ploughed along the railroad ties for a distance of almost sixth of a mile
 With the exception of the locomotive all of the rest of the train left the rails, but fortunately none of the cars turned over though several appeared to be in imminent danger of doing so,
 Assistant Supt. John Carr who was a passenger on the train, was severe ly injured and a woman passenger is also said to have suffered serious hurts. As far as known no one else suffered except from shock.

CASE
 TO BE DROPPED
Close Friend of Lawyer Craig Promises to Go
 Bail for Prisoner
TO WAIVE EXAMINATION
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press)
 New York, Aug. 9.-It is probable that Mrs. Neville Castle, the western woman who shot William B. Craig, attorney, in the elevator at the Wal dorf-Astoria last week, will never be brought to trial When the case was called before Magistrate Butts in Jeff ferson Market court this morning Mrs. Castles attorney, Emil Fuchs, asked for a further postponenent until to- morrow, informing the magistrate that at that time Mrs. Castle would waive preliminary hearing and consent to be- ing held to the Grand Jury.
 Fuchs also promised that he would secure bail for Mrs. Castle this after noon, bond being given by a. close per sonal friend of Craig who is especially anxious to drop the proceedings and thus avoid further notoriety.
 Captain Henry Harrison Scott, U. S. A., stationed at Fort Morgan, who married a daughter of Admiral Samp- son, has arrived and is aiding his sis ter. Before court this morning Cap tain Scott Craig and Magistrate Butts had a conference at which it was ar ranged that the case was to go over until tomorrow and that Mrs. Castle would then be bound over to the Grand Jury. It is hardly likely that Craig will appear as a witness before the Grand Jury which will allow the case ings are dropped it is probable Mrs. Castle will go to Fort Morgan. to be the guest of her brothers family.
 The charges Mrs. Castles attorney threatened to bring against Craig are to be dropped and the case ended.

I6 SUCCESSFUL FLIGHTS
fsneciaI from IJnited Press

Especial from United Press.)
 New York. Aug. s.-That a. modern aeroplane is speedier than an average automobile was demonstrated today by c. Foster Willard who is flying the Curtis Aeroplane at Hampstead Plains, Mineola, L.. I. The aeroplane is. owned by the Aero Club of New York and Willard is learning to fly in it. Today. at height of 30 feet in the air he kept far ahead of an auto on earth that was making more than 40 miles an hour.
 Willard, who has been flying but a week, has made 16 successful flights and today declared that running an aeroplane was as easy as riding a bicycle and required only self control. As soon as he becomes more proficient in the use of the aeroplane he will give exhibitions, travelling all over the country, the first snowman in the world in aeroplaEes.
