CROWDED CAR
LEAVES TRACKS
Passengers Badly Frightened
When Wild Trolley Dashes
Across Paved Street.

Rounding the curve out of Arch
Street into Ninth at too great speed,
a crowded Forest Hill car last night
shortly before o'clock left the tracks,
dashed across the paved street and
stopped within few inches OF the
safety wall of the high causeway at
that point. For 4 moment there was
almost panic among the passengers,
many Of whom were women and chill
dren. Two unidentified men tainted
from the shock, but were quickly re-
stored to consciousness. No one was
injured
The derailed car blocked traffic for
twenty minutes before 1t was pulled
back on the tracks
More than year ago a car left the
tracks At this point and crashed
through the safety wall, but did not
go down the high embankment.

SWANSBORO WAKES
TO ARID SABBATH.
Minister Complains of Sunday
Sales, and Without Warning
Lid Goes On.

Swansboro swcltered through
drought yesterday such as the village
has never before known The aridity
was caused by an order issued Satur-
day BY Squire L. w. Cheatham, OF the
Swansboro Magisterial Court, direct
ing the county police to sec that the
Sunday antisclling laws were rigidly
complied with. One lone confectionery
store was affected by the mandate OF
the court. and to the credit OF the
authorities IL can be said that the lid
was tightly clamped on.
Magistrate Chcatham. whose order
closed the !rst-qucnching dispcnsary.
in n spirit of fairness. directed the
owners OF the two drug stores in the
village not TO sell anything except
drugs. Neither of the concerns operate
soda fountains. but both carry "A stock
OF cigars and tobacco. On their part.
the order does not work a hardship,
as they remain open but few hours
on Sunday.
Mr. Thrift Complained.
The complainant against the con-
fectioncr was Rcv. Charles Tinsley
Thrift, pastor -of Weatherford Me
mortal Church. who appeared Friday
before Squire Chcatham and form
ally called mis- attention TO the law
violation. No other complaints were
received. ana. az far as Squire Cheat
ham knows no obte ctions have ever
been raised heretofore. When the
matter WAS brought to his attention
officially, he had no recourse but to
issue the order
Mr.. Thrift is the leader OF the forces
which last month successfully won a
hard fought battle for the abolition
OF the three village saloons Yestcr-
day when asked concerning his com
plant, Mr. Thrift stated that he had
the backing OF considerable num-
bcr and represented the sentiment OF
his church. The matter was discussed
before the sunday school. but no ret
ercnce was made TO the subject from
any local pulpit.
The closing OF the store came as a
complete surprise 10 the majority of
the residents Of Swansboro. who had
no intimation that the subject was be-
ing agtated No preparations for n
dry Sunday had been made, and. as a
consequence, there was considerable
disappointment among those who ex-
pected cooling drink or cream for
their midday meal Meanwhile. the
crcaking OF rusty we'll chains and thc
squeak Of the pump handle is again
heard to the South.

BRING BIG NEGRO
CONVENTION HERE.
Discuss Plans for Capturing Ma
tional Negro Business League
at Meeting Tonight.
MET BEFORE IN RICHMOND
Third Annual Convention Was
Held Here, and Proved to
Be Great Success.

With the idea OF bringing the next
annual convention of the National Me-
sro Business League TO this city. the
promoters of the movement will meet
tonight in the Office of Giles B. jack
son for the purpose of perfcctinE ar
rangements to send n delegation to the
fourteenth annual convention which
meets in Philadelphia on August 20.
Mayor Ainslie and the Chamber of
Commerce will be asked TO unite in
the invitation Of the local members Of
the league.
The league. of which Booker T.
Washington is president is the largest
negro organization in this country. 1T
has a membership OF several thousand
OF the most prominent professional and
business men and women OF its race
IT was organized in Boston i'll 1900 and
had as its first, president Booker L.
Washington who stills holds the lead
crship. Giles Il. Jackson, n colored at
torney of Richmond. was elected vice
president and served in that capacity
until he resigned to promote the Negro
Department Of the jamestown Expo
sition.
Met Here Before.
Through the efforts of Vice Presi
dent jackson. the third annual conven-
ton met in Richmond August 2T. 1902
The league was only three years old
hut n large attendance of the best elc-
mcnt Of the negro race from nearly
every State in the Union made the
meeting n success far beyond the ex-
oectations of the promoters. Thou
sands of dollars were spent among the
Richmond merchants. and many orders
were given for the shipment of goods
10 territories which had never before
patronizcd the local concerns
1t is the belief of the hackers of tho
movement that bringing the next con-
vcntion TO Richmond Will mean a whole
lot for the city, as the membership of
the organization has grown rapidly,
and will put colorcd business men who
now deal with other markets in touch
with the local jobbers. and will work
great benefits otherwise. The city Of
Philadelphia has appropriated $4,000 to
help IL the entertainment of the con-
Nention. which will meet in three day
session in that place this month.
1t is planned by the local members
20 take a large delegation to the con-
vention and to carry off the honors b.
he methods that have succeeded in
gaining so many others for this city.
