STRUCK AT GRADE CROSSING

Mr.. J. F. Corbett Of Bailey informs
us that he narrowly escaped death a
few days ago when an automobile he
was driving, the property of Tomlin-
son & Co., was struck by a motor car
belonging to the Norfolk and South
ern. Before the car could be taken
from the track it was struck by a
passing freight and further demOlish-
ed.
Mr. Corbett says that the track is
in cut at this place and it would
be an easy matter to establish an
overhead crossing.

PREPARATIONS ON
IN RAIL WAY SUITS
VERSUS THE STATE
WOULD AVOID TAXES
The Atlantic Coast Line, the
Southern Railway and the
Norfolk and Southern are
the Contesting Roads; Re
cent Investigation Made at
the State Prison.
(By Max Abern'ethy)

Raleigh, Nov 2.-Attorney Gen
eral James S. Manning, Judge By
mum and Judge Brown are comforting
here this week preparing their line of
attack in che railroads suits against
the State which were begun several
weeks ago.
This weeks conference of the for
mer Federal judge and associated su-
preme court justice with the attorney
general is the first actual work the
States counsel has been able to do
since the suits were brought and
since Governor Morrison appointed
counsel to assist Attorney General
Manning. The conference is not be-
ing held in the open, of course, but
it is for the purpose of combating
what the governor has termed "a
veritable young army of attorneys
for the railroads. This army of at
torneys'' for the railroads is busy
and the State will be put to it to hold
up their end of the argument in Fed
eral court where the actions have
been taken.
Three of the four big lines have
started suit in an effort to escape
payment of their 1921 taxes assessed
by the State, cities and counties.
They are the Atlantic Coast Line,
Southern Railway and the Norfolk
and Southern. Each road protests the
payment of the taxes fixed by the
State Department of Revenue, and
an effort is being made to restrain
the tax machinery of the State, the
cities and counties through which
their property runs.
Judge Bynum's statement, issued
at Greensboro recently that I'VE
are trying those suits in court and

BACK ALONG THE OLD TRAIL.

Look back over the trail, Scout, the trail
of your battling sires,
The trail that mounts from the Centuries
depths, to the peak of your own desires
See how it climbs from the dusk of the
Past, from the Age of Bronze and
Stone,
Through the veil of years, with toll and
tears, to the crest where you stand
alone.
Look at the wealth they bring you,
Scout, the heritage of the years;
The lire of the Norsemen rovers, the
mind of the Celtic seers,
The strength of the Saxon bowmen. the
courage of the grim Tartar.
Men have fought and men have wrought,
to- make you what you are.
Look that you keep the faith, Scout, true
to the hopes they dared,
The visions and dreams they died for, the
faiths they held and shared.
Like to your sires of old, Scout, be We
pioneer too;
keen-eyed and sure, clear-eyed and pure,
that the trail may be cleared anew.

Feed the grain in a deep litter on
