was killed and his fireman, Ellis
Davis, badly injured. There is a
double switch at the point where
the accident occurred, it being the
place where the Danville & West

a sharp curve, and the switch hav-
ing been left open for the branch
line, when the engins of No IS

track and turned over down an
embankment. The unfortunate
engineer was caught under the en-
CINE and crushed to death. Two
mail cars and the express car we're
deralled. The passenger coaches

of the passengers were hurt. 1t
has been stated that the switch
showed the proper sign light and
how the switch happened to be
thrown has not been explained.
The dead engineer made his home
in Spencer, but formerly resided
in Danville, and the news of his
death was a severe shock to his
family and his friends. A son of
Mr.. Satterfeld was On the train

Consider.

To the Superllltendents and Sun
day Schools, Rowan county.
1t seems that manyof the Sun
day schools are again going into
winter quarters, following the an
tiquated custom of shutting up
for the next three months.
In view of the fact that there is
great need for better qualified
teachers in the Sunday school,
Could they not employ much of
this time i'll fitting themselves to
do better work?
Every OPP ortunity is offered for
them to take up a brief course Of
reading or study, either under the
direction of their own denomiua-
tional board or Independently.
The cost involved is 80 small
that any earnest worker Can gain
the benefits of such efforts and be
the better qualified to perform his
dlty.
Some may not realize their re-
sponsibiiity and be Indifferent to
the welfare of those committed to
their care. But those who are
vitality interested will not ignore
the pre-@mlnent opportunity Thus
presented for improving them
selves in the work of teaching.

POLICY OF CONSERVATION.

The Houston Chronicle makes the
following pertinent observations re.
garding the question of the conserva.
ton of our national resources:
"The president has twice summoned
the house of governors; sessions have
been held, in our national capital, of
the chief magistrates of our forty-six
states and other distinguished persons,
presided over by the president him
self; Mexico and Canada have been in
vited to get in the game and make it
a pan-continental affair, and a special
message has been sent to congress;
but few people understand what it is
all about. 1t is doubtful whether all
the members of the national organiza.
tions and the national conservation
commission understand exactly what's
up.
But there is one man who does I'm.
derstand the subject thoroughly, and
and this Is not because he is chairman
of the national conservation commits

IN POLICE COURT

There were several cases before the
police justice this morning, most of
them being for selling liquor and gam
ing.
Daisy Tisdale colored, was fined $50
for retailing. and John Wright, negro
hackman, was tried on the charge of
vagrancy. the charge growing out of
the faacttht eshr shr uv-snct-wfett
the fact that Wright was caught haul
ing liquor to one of the blind tiger
dens. There was no law to hold him
on this charge, but the authorities
held that this constituted vagrancy,
and so held him. He was fined $40
and the costs and sentenced to ten
days in jail, but took an appeal from
the verdict.
Will Billiard and Dug Caddenhead,
two negroes, were fined IS and costs
for gaming.
Robert Atkinson, colored, was fined
81 for trespass, and John Everette.
colored, was fined 50 for OBTAINING or
getting in the way of the fire wagon.

right. Therefore, of all the great move
ments of our recent history, not one
has gained as fast in public apprecia-
ton and support, and not one promises
such results in assuring the greatest
good to the greatest number for the
longest time. The nation has three
million square miles of the richest, the
most varied and the pleasantest of the
continents. That land belongs to us
now, just as it has belonged to our
forefathers, and as it will belong to
our descendants. We have the right
to use 1t and we have the power to
impair it. The choice is ours. We, can
not avoid it and we can not delay it."
Conservation includes the care of
our forests our minerals, as well as
of land. all of which is to be used, not
abused; worked, not wasted.
