nestle occupations. according to Mrs
FRANK Hales, of the Chicago Employ.
ment Service Branch, established by
the Department Of Labor. She says
that most of them like factory work
very much after they have once be-
come accustomed to it. although some
do not find the transition easy.
When new girls come to the shop
they are nervous, sometimes almost
frightened" says a Chicago munitions
man. They often break down and
weep because OF the actual fear that
takes hold of them when they first
stand before great machine tool. the
like {: which they have never seen
before and the uses of which they can
not conceive. 1t looks like a veritable
monster to them, and the more in
earnest a girl is the greater her terror"
Bat the feeling is purely transitory,
due perhaps to want of confidence as
much as anything else The girls
quickly master mechanical processes.

requiring manual dexterity. Once

ROLAND W00DARD In
JURED BETWEEN CARS
SERIOUS Accn&*s OCCURRED THIS MORNING WHEN PUSH
s11prrS& MAN WAS CRUSHED BE-
TWEEN LARG4 AND FORD CAR
INJURED MAN NOW RESTING EASILY

BY taking chances and being
between the powerful truck Of
the Mint Cola Company and a
Ford car which the truck was
pushing out Of the mud, Mr.. Ro-
land Woodard met what appears
to be very serious accident, and
is lying at the Mint Cola plant
awaiting the arrival Of the wife
of the injured man before it is
determined what shall be done
with him.
About nine clock this morning
a Ford got stuck near the Mint
Cola plant, and Mr.. Rouse agreed
to push it out. A push pole was
put between the two machines
and power was put to the big
truck. Then it was that the push
pole slipped and the ears came
together with Mr.. Woodard in be-
tween, injuring him seriously.
The injured man was rushed to
DR.. Smith s office when medical
and surgical attention was given
by DR.. Smith and his trained
nurse, and, after anaesthetics had
been administered, it was found
that no bones had been broken,
but the thigh was badly bruised
and lascerated.
Later Mr.. Woodard was moved
to the Mint Cola plant there to
be attended until the arrival Of
his wife, who has been visiting
for some days at Oak City. Mrs.
Woodard was reached on the
phone and will get here as soon
as some conveyance can bring
her.
Mr.. Roland Woodard is well
known here, his uncle being Cap
tain II. H. Woodland Of East
Scotland Neck, he works for the
Mint Cola Company. and is re
garded highly by his employers.
1t is a most unfortunate oc-
currence, and at this writing none
can say what the actual injury
may amount to. 1t was further
unfortunate that the young man s
wife should be away at this time,
which made it impossible to take
him to his home. However there
are many at his side to give such
attention as he may need until
his relatives arrive and it is de-
termined whether to send him to
the hospital or not.
At last report the injured man
said to be resting easily and not
III any excessive pain.

NEWS FROM THE
STATE CAPITOL,

Raleigh, Jan. Raleigh has
jailed another gorilla negro for
burglary and rape committed
Saturday morning while the storm
was at it's height a few miles from
the city near the little town Of
Garner.
Another negro, Neville, who
was convicted several months ago
and sentenced to death, is still in
prison because Of the activity Of
his lawyer, w. B. Jones, who ap-
pealed the case to the Supreme
Court, while the other lawyers
who defended him said there was
no ground on which an appeal
ought to be based, and he, John
c. Little, withdrew from the case
when his associate, "Buck' Jones
insisted on taking the case to the
higher court At the expense of
over one thousand dollars already,
Wake county has had that dan
gerous criminal ON it's hands for
months and it will be some time
in the spring before he can be leg
ally executed.
And if the lynchers who tried
to get him had succeeded this
latest case Of raping would have
been made less possible.
Governor Beckett played a very
conspicuous part in speaking to
the Raleigh "mob' at the jail
but his promises Of a speedy trial
and execution (if guilty. have
not been carried out and it is put,
ting it mildly TO say that the
people are very much disgusted
and exceedingly indignant.
Six or seven cases Of assaults on
| white women recently here-and
not an execution yet, and only
two Of the negroes arrested even.
Another disgusting feature Of
the crime just committed is the
alleged cowardly conduct Of the
husband: if the reports given out
| by the officers who made the ar
rest are correct.
Never in the history Of Raleigh
has so much crime gone undetect-
ed, Or SO largely unpunished. 1t
is black Indictment against
those charged with the enforce
ment Of the law, and the people
Of this city and county are getting
mighty sick' over the situation.
