TROUBLE AT CAMP Fatal Gun buel Between the Laborers and Overseers s OCCURS AT A RAILROAD CAMP Squad of Laborers on S. & W. Fire fl Into Superintendent's Camp-One o of the Agitators Killed and Several 1 Others Laid up For Repairs. f n Marion, N. C.. Special.-As a r.- t suilt of a difficulty between laborers, oflieers and workmen of eamp No. 6 t of the South and Western Railway e J Company, one workman 3s dead and r three others are seriously injured. One a U of the workmen, who attempted to as sist the camp officials, sustained a se- v vere flesh wound from a pistol, but it P is thought not to be serious. The trouble came about in this S manner: One day last week several men, representing a squad. came to ( Mr. J. M. Cross, superintendent of j camp No. 6, and demanded full pay to o date for all their squad on the divis ion. Mr. Cross explained to them , that the checks came on the 20th of a each month, and that he had no a money with which to pay them, but r would pay all at the earliest possible ( r moment. This did not satisfy the men, - and they sent to Spruce Pine and se cured several pistols, guns and other weapons. together with a supply of y ammunition. Monday night aboutP 6:30 o'clock, two of the agitators b came to Mr. Cross' house at the camp, called him out and demanded their pay for all. While Mr. Cross attempt ( ed to explain that this was impossible , the spokesman seems to have given j the signal. and his followers turned a out from everywhere. opening fire on U the-camp. The railroad men were, as usual, on their guaid. and returned t] the fire. As the laborers were it the t open and had no organization, and n were very much excited. most of their 0 shots W1ent wild, but the railroad men b b used their guns to good effect. One v of the agitators who made the first h assault was shot dead in his tracks. and several others were readily laid v out. Mr. Cross received a severe t burn in the face from the powder of the guns when first fired on. Offi- G ers have been sent to the scene, and V, everything is now quiet. t. f To Bridge the Albemi-rlb Sound.~ t] Elizabeth City. Special.-General P Manager M. K.

WV en the news of ie death of John the Baptist reached ieni they hastened to Jesus. They iade a full report of their missionary )ur. 31. "A desert place." Not a indy. barren desert, but an uninhab ed place. "Rest a while." There were vo chief reasons for taking this mrse. Herod might attempt to slay esus and His disciples. The second ason is here given. They needed rest nd communion with God. "No leis re." The door stood always open, as i Eastern houses generally, for all -ho chose to come in or leave at their leasure. No one can do his best work -ithout periods of rest from work. 32. By ship." They took a boat and iiled from Capernaum across tl" . orthern end of the lake. II. Jesus teaches a great multitude 's. 33, 34). 33. "The people." From ohn 6:4 we see that the Passover was lst at hand, and there were throngs f people going up to Jerusalem. Many knew Him." Because of the iany miracles which He had wrought rohn 6:2). The whole country was in n agitated state. "Ran afoot." The eople, watching the sailing of Jesus cross the northern end of the lake, in around the northern shore so rap ily that they "outwent" the boat and iet Him as He landed. "All cities." ,t this time the western and northern ores were populous with cities and illages. 34. "Compassion." Although weary et Jesus was moved with pity for this eople. He walked among them teach ig them and healing their sick. "Not aving a shepherd." They were desti ite of teachers to feed, to guide, to rotect, in a word, to shepherd them. III. The disciples confer with Jpsus is. 35-38). 35. "Day-far spent." Matthew. tys "when it was evening." The ews had two evenings. The first be an at 3 o'clock, the second at 6 clock. This was in the afternoon. 3. "Send them away." The disciples tlled Christ's attention to the fact iat this was a desert place, and as ie multiude had been there since torning, it was time to dismiss the )ngregation so the people could go and uy Tictuals, lest they faint by the ,ay. Many of those present were on ieir way to tht Passove:- and had no Dmes near. 37. "Give ye them to eat." Jesus 'as testing iis disciples. Just before 11s He said to Philip, "Whence shall , 'e buy bread that these may eat?" roha 6:5). But He said this "to prove im," for "He Himself knew what He I -ould do" (John 6:61. Our Lord saw lat' His apostles needed lessons in. tith, and this miracle was as much yr their benefit as for the benefit of ie hungry multitude. "Two hundred ennyworth." The penny was a silver yin, and was worth about sixteen ants. The value of the bread ueces try would be, therefore, about $32. And give them." The import of the nestion Is, World it not be unwise to Lke our last penny and spend for this 'arpose? 38. "How many." Jesus knew just ie amount or food there was, but He esired to have them find out and tell [lm so that the miracle would make a reater impression. "Five. andi two shes."

They sat in ogderly ranks for le convenient distribution of the food nd so they could be easily numbered. 41. '-'When He had taken." Accord ig to Matthew Jesus said, "Bring uem hither unto Me." All must centre Him. We may have but little, but if 'e will give the little we have to Jesus [e will multiply it a thousandfold and ass it back to us. and grant us the rivilege of passing it out to the starv ug, sin-burdened mu:'titudes. "Bless d." .Tesus thus sets us an~ example; re should never eat without first banking God for our food and asking [is blessing upon it. 42. "Were lled." No one ever need leave Christ's ible hungry.
