Get Away from the Crowd"

Dr.. Robert Burdette, in a talk to
young men, said: Get away from
the crowd for a while and think.
Stand on one side and let the crowd
run by, while you get acquainted
with yourself, and see what kind OF
fellow you are. Ask yourself hard
questions about yourself. Ascertain,
from original sources, if you are
really the manner OF man you say
you are; if you are always honest; if
you always tell the square perfect
truth in business details; if your life
is as good and upright at eleven
o'clock at night as it is at noon;
if you are as good temperance man
on fishing excursion as you are on
a Sunday school picnic; if you are as
good when you go to the city as you
are at home; if, in short, you are
really the sort of man your father
hopes you are, your sweetheart be-
lieves you are. Get on intimate
terms with yourself, my boy, and,
believe me, every time you come out
of one Of those private interviews,
you will be stronger, purer man.
Don't forget this, and it will do you
good"

Terrible Death of Two Engineers.

kGAe-El AlMt-s fE-N-H-
Yesterday evening about eight
O'Clock there was a collision between
incoming Norfolk Southern passen-
cener train No. III and switch en-
CINE near Glenwood Just outside the
city limits Of Raleigh which resulted
in the death Of engineer John Smith
of the switch engine and fireman
John Hodge Of the passenger train,
and almost the complete destruction
of the two engines. The accident
occurred on a fill about three hun
dred yards outside Of Raleigh and in
a short time an immense crowd gath
cred about the scene. Lying a few
feet from the track was the body OF
Engineer Smith with bis head smash
ed 10 an unrecognizable mass and
the right leg almost crushed of,
The body presented terrible sight
and was viewed with shudders BY
hundreds Of people.
Pinned between the engine and
the tender of the passenger train was
fireman John Hodge with his legs
crushed and scalded by escaping
steam. Bravely he watched the fran
tic efforts Of the rescuers, as for more
than three hours they labored to ex-
tricate him from the wreck, which
him, while hundreds Of people stood
around and watched the work, being
unable TO render assistance. An en-
CINE was sent from the yards and
hitched to the wrecked locomotive
and an attempt made to pull it from
the tender to release Mr.. Hodges i'm
prisoned limbs. The putting of the
engine, the sound Of axes and the
hiss Of escaping steam created a
scene which will linger long in the
minds Of those who were present
Through il all Mr.. Hodges sat there
displaying nerve and courage that
has seldom been witnessed around
here. His legs, besides being hor-
ribly crushed, were almost roasted
by the escaping steam.
After working for several hours
one leg was gotten free of the wreck
age, but the other remained fast. By
chopping with axes, using jacks and
the assistance Of the wrecking crew,
enough was cleared so that by trim
ming off part Of the flesh the other
leg was extricated. The injured man
was hurried to Rex Hospital but died
soon after arriving there.

Col. Roosevelt Tells Negroes Who
Their Friends Are.
New York Dispatch, lsth

New York Dispatch Isth
Col. Roosevelt, former President
OF the United States, speaking today
before |, 100 delegates to the Nation
al Negro Business Mems League,
who cheered him and pledged him
the support Of the negro electorate
for a third term, counseled his hear
ers to make most Of their opportuni-
ties.
The white man Of the South
said Mr.. Roosevelt, is the vital man
TO have sympathy with the negro.
When your neighbor likes and re-
spects you, you have won your bat.
tie. The white man of the North
does his worst work in interfering
between the two peoples Of the South
and his best work when he improves
their relations.
Il would not slur over the injus-
tice with which good colored men
are treated, but / feel that the really
substantial way Of conquerihg in
justice is to train your people so that
the white man will willingly recog.
nize in his colored neighbor a desir-
able neighbor, Every down-at-the
heel, ramshackle negro cabin is not
only bad for the people who live in
it, but is a reflection on the race.
1.-The man who lives in a ne'r-do-
well life of idleness, is doing not
only i'll to himself but to his people.
l believe in this League. As | wrote
Eve years ago when | was President,
| believe in it because it is out Of
politics. You also stimulate among
your people principles Of business
enterprise. That is well. You rec.
ognize that you should build a firm
foundation before you can erect your
superstructure.'

COTTON.
Condition Up to Sunday Night.

Condition Up to Sunday Night.
Memphis Dispatch, slst.
A summary of cotton crop oondi-
tions will be published by the Com
mercial-Appeal tomorrow as follows:
Unfavorable reports come from
Texas and northern and central Geor-
gia. Elsewhere, with local excep-
tons, the crop is now in the best
state Of promise Of the season. The
August fruitage has been heavy and
the plant is thrifty and growing. In
Oklahoma with an average or late
frost the largest crop within num-
Der Of years will be harvested.
No shedding is reported except in
dry districts as above. The bolls on
the plant are still young and con-
tinued favorable weather is needed
for their proper development, while
the general lateness Of the plant in
the matter Of growth makes q late
frost very desirable. With such a
frost as desired the general crop pros
pect would be favorable.
Telegraphic reports up TO Sunday
night show that Texas had no gen.
eral rainfall during the week and
that deterioration Of the crop has
been checked over a limited and scat
tered territory comprised mainly Of
the lower Pan Handle and north por-
ton and extreme and central Texas.
The heavy movement in the South
and Southwest is the result of rapid
and premature opening of bolls.
The crop is now nearly matured.

Immediately started an investigation to

not wish to cast discredit upon the city
BY refusing to pay these warrants, but
they thought that the holders should
stand some share of the Inconvenience.
They passed a resolution agreeing to as-
sumo the payment of any outstanding
warrant or just claim against the city
then due, provided the holder OF the war
rant or claim would agree to accept the

practically all OF the warrants agreed
to this at once and in this way the city

pay off the floating Indebtedness of the
city and the running expenses of the city
for the current year without overdraw-
Ing. These taxes were ordinarily not
paid until August ana September. The
