Earth Swallows up House.

Staunton, Va, August ia two
story house and a large tree have
been swallowed up in the earth,
many other residences are sinking,
and have been abandoned by their
occupants and public buildings are
endangered as the result of the bor-
ing of an eight hundred foot we'll in
the square here, it is supposed.
Wide cracks in the earth are
spreading, threatening the postoffice
and public school building. The
walls of the school house already are
cracked. Residents are much alarm
ed and heroic efforts are being made
to prevent further caving in of the
earth.
Staunton, Va, Aug. 13-The worst
seems over in Staunton's cave-in
street. The falling-in continued all
through Thursday and a new hole
about as large as the other one but
not quite SO deep, came through the
back yard OF Professor C. L. Wilson,
adjoining the small frame residence
and lot which tumbled in and disap-
peared. The two holes in Baldwin
street have not yet met but they are
much closer together than on yester-
day and are much larger. They ere
still very deep, one of them appear
ing to have depth of at least 100
feet. The cement steps of the public
school building have cracked loose
and cracks in the walls, which came
on Thursday, have extended all the
way to the top.
The frame house in the rear of
Professor Wilson's residence tumbled
into the hole in his back yard and
the walls on the main building OF
brick are cracked considerably and
all the furniture has been moved out.
Opinions differ as the cause, yet
everybody has a theory. The autori-
ties think that the boring of an 500
foot well and the recent installation
OF big suction pump right across
the block by the Smith Fuel and Ice
Company has something to do with
it.

Florence Nightingale.
News and Observer

News and Observer.
The world had almost forgotten
about Florence Nightingale, long an
invalid, until the wires flashed the
news of her death at the age of
ninety. Then the story of the hero
ine-known as the Angel of Crimea-
came back fresh to those who had
long given her high place among the
great of the world. From girlhOod
she had a passion for alleviating the
sufferings of the sick. She visited
hospitals and asyiums all over
Europe and declared that the liberal
provisions Cor them made them al
most useless for the want of skilled
and trained nurses. Six months she
studied in the Lutheran institution
and admired the skill of the Sisters
of Charity. She gave up luxury to
save the Home for the Aged. The
Crimean War opened the door for
her distinguished usefulness. She
threw herself into the work of nurs-
ing them. OF the A, 4,94S British
troops sent to the war in February,
1856, there were IS, 1T in the hos
pitfalls, with no nursing worthy the
name. England contributed the
money, but where was the genius who
could organize and direct the care of
these sick soldiers? The hour and
the woman met. Florence Nightin-
gale undertook the task, and only a
few hours after her arrival the
wounded from the field of Balaklava
began to be brought in. The hos
pital authorities resented her plans
and her presence. 1t tcalled for tact, en-
ergy and firmness to win the fight for
women to do the work OF caring for
the wounded, but she won and
opened the way for the Red Cross
movement which was born in the ia
nous Geneva Convention, which was
inspired by what she had done. High
honors were paid her, and she was
the only woman who ever received
the Order of Merit.
Today in every hospital in the
world where woman's gentle minis
trations alleviate suffering and win
back health to the pale cheek, there
will be prayer OF thankfulness for
the life of Florence Nightingale. She
does not fill SO many pages in the
histories as the bloody generals, but
her victories were nobler and more
lasting.

The Cade Type-Setter.
Charlotte Chronicle

Charlotte Chronicle
One afternoon, about a year ago,
Rev. Baylus Cade dropped into The
Chronicle office just at a time when
we were having nothing better to do
than to pull on a pipe and think, and
taking advantage of the opening
which he was quick to see, he placed
his stove-pipe in a safe position on
our roller-top, drew up a chair and
Commenced talking type-setting ma
chine. He is the inventor of some
thing that may give the Merganthaler
a hard knock. Mr.. Cade went over
the details of his machine with us
and after that we went with him to
the Merganthaler batteries, and, tax
ing one of these machines as an ex-
ample, he showed US wherein his type
setter would have superior advan-
tages. 1t is not necessary to again
review these advantages. 1t is sui
ficient to say thai Mr.. Cade left on
our mind the impression that he
would eventually put on the market
an invention that would be of great
benefit to all people engaged in the
printing business, especially to the
publishers of weekly newspapers.
Our faith in his machine has never
been shaken. 1t has been some time
since we have heard from Mr.. Cade,
but paragraph in The Shelby High
lander says: "Mr. Cade, the destined
to-be-world-famous inventor, gave
the Shelby editors an opportunity
to see demonstration of the central
principle of his improved linotype
machine. He had one-third of his
machine here last week, the one-third
section on which the mats work, i. e.
the moulds for the individual letters.
l have had an opportunity to study
the workings of the Merganthaler
machine and I must pay Mr.. Cade
the compliment OF saying that his
machine is a wonder and distinct
and startling innovation. His mar
velous Improvement consists of SIM
plifying the complex. The success of
the Cade machine is a certainty" :"
Mr.. Cade's machine is being built in
a Philadelphia factory. The fact
that a big manufacturing concern
has been willing to put in it's time on
it is one thing that has convinced
The Chronicle that Mr.. Cade has a
good thing. In these days busy
manufacturing concerns do not waste
time on doubtful propositions. The
Chronicle is glad to know that Mr..
Cade is coming along.

DURHAM SUN UNDERGOES
CHANGE.

A change in the personnel OF the
staff of the Durham Daily Sun, and
in ownership of the paper in part is
announced. This comes early. +.
A. Moore OF Winston-Salem, has pur-
chased the interest OF R. o. Everett,
the largest individual stockholder in
the corporation, and becomes editor
and manager of the paper, taking
the place of A. L. Fletcher and Hill
A. Gardner who have been filling
those positions respectively since the
formation of the stock company re-
Gently.
Mr.. Everett appears to have got
enough of the newspaper business
after a very brief if not brilliant
career. 1t is said that he went into
it to further his political ambitions,
but things are not always what they
seem and doubtless he got far enough
along the way to find that his law
sign promises as sure lead to po-
litical and financial power as the
possession OF a newspaper.

Republican State Convention.

The Republican State convention
held in Greensboro last week was full
of interest. not only to those who at
tended but to others as well-mem-
bers of both political parties because
OF the fight that had been made for
State chairman. AS it turned out,
however, the Duncan faction was
whipped before convention met, and
John Motley Morehead was an easy
winner no other name being placed in
nomination. The contest for chair
man settled there was no other fight
of any consequence and the usual Re-
publican harmony" prevailed. And
right here by way of parenthysis we
want to say that is one thing we ad-
mire in our Republican friends. They
may have their differences, call each
other all kinds of hard names, and all
that, but when the time comes for
action they reconcile their differences,
get together and present a united
front to the opposition.
For the office of Chief Justice, L. T.

Judge w. p. Bynum we're placed in
nomination. The vote on the first
ballot was: Hicks 4S1; Douglas, 337;

Great Era Of Prosperity Predicted.

New Bern Sun.
The editor OF the Manufacturers
Record in an address before a party
of manufacturers a few days ago was
inclined to take II very optimistic
view of the country and predicted
that we were now on the verge of
one of the greatest eras of prosperity
the country or the world had ever
before seen. There is nothing better
as a stimulus to prosperity than the
prominent optimist. A thousand men
OF the type of this editor preaching
prosperity would be the greatest aid
in bringing to pass the prosperity
which they predicted. America has
the resources and the people to de-
velop them, all we have to do is get
our people at work on the right lines
and substantial and lasting pros
perityis ours. Our prominent men and
capitalists, we believe, are now fast
waking up to the great possibilities
OF our country as never before, and
not altogether from selfish stand
point or the thought OF pecuniary
gain, but from a desire to see the
country prosperous and its pros
perity enjoyed by all the people.

Death Of Florence Nightingale,
War Heroine.

London, August 15th.-Florence
Nightingale, the famous nurse of the
Crlmean war, and the only woman
VINO ever received the Order OF Merit,
died Saturday afternoon at her Lon
don home: Although she had been
an invalid for a long time, rarely
leaving her room, where she passed
the time in a half-recumbent posi-
ton, and was under constant care OF
a physician, her death was somewhat
unexpected. A week ago she was
quite sick, but then improved, and
on Friday was cheerful. During that
night alarming symptoms developed,
and she gradually sank until 2 O'Clock
Saturday afternoon, when an attack
OF heart failure brought the end.

The local self-government plank in

tackled on to the end Of a miscellane-
Gus paragraph. 1t reads: "We re-
affirm our allegiance to the time
honored principle of local self f-govern-
ment and we do denounce the sue
eessive betrayal of that principle by

worked in that plank was somewhat

The alarm is sounded through the

bility OF the discontinuance of the
rural free delivery service. This
paper states that preliminary plans
are now being made to that end, the
intention being to provide in it's
stead a daily delivery to the farmers
by what is known as the star route
plan. No plan can be so satisfactory
to the people of the country as the
present one and a vigorous protest
should come from the rural districts
against any change. No movement
in many years has brought SO much
benefit to the people in the country
as the rural free delivery system, and
it should be improved and extended
instead of being abolished.
