Car Load Of Eggs.

Siler City, N. c., May 9.-Siler
City having earned the enviable repu-
tation of being the biggest market
in the South for rabbits, now comes
to the front as being the only town
in the State from which solid car
load of eggs has been shipped on
one consignment.
Capt. W. S. Durham, the pioneer
produce dealer of this town, shipped
last Friday, one carload of eggs, be-
ing one hundred and fifty crates, or
four thousand eggs. On the same
day that these eggs were shipped.
Mr.. Durham purchased from one
farmer over six hundred dozen eggs,
which are not included in the car
load shipment; this, however, is a
daily occurrence. More than $4,000
is expended each year in this town
alone, for chickens, eggs, quail, and
the famous Chatham rabbit-whlch
fact bespeaks that the produce busi-
ness of Siler City is no small affair.

Part Of Brain Gone.

Savannah, Ca, May 9.-Because
he took the lone chance in ten thous-
and which physicians said he had to
keep his life, w. Galloway, cashier of
the Bank of Collins, Ga, who at
tempted suicide by shooting out part
of his brain, soon will leave the hos
pital here, where he was brought
from Collins, and soon will be we'll
man again.
He is yet very weak, but entirely
rational. He probably will not re-
turn to Collins at first, but will go
to his cid home at Mallory, S. G. His
intention, however, is to return to
Collins, ultimately.
Galloway says that it was because
of worry over reports that he had
been drinking hard that he tried to
end his life. He says he had stopped
drinking but the reports about him
did not stop and brooding over them
caused his effort at self-destruction.
Galloway 1as the distinction OF
having lost between one and two
ounces from the frontal lobe of his
brain, yet he doesn't miss it. His
wife of less than year stood by him
and helped him in his fight for life.
He put the muzzle of his pistol in his
mouth and fired one shot. Physl-
clans told him he had one chance IN
ten thousand to live, and though pre-
viously he had wanted to die, he took
that one chance to live and has made
good at it. He went under the knife,
the operation was successful, and he
will live.
