NEGRO KILLED BY
v Us H TRAIN.
.7
Sonny Wade, a negref, was kill
ed late Sunday evening by the
P. & H.. passenger train, eight
miles below'Cairo,-near the Pum-
phrey church.
The particulars of the killing
are very meager, but it seems
that he was drinking heavily,
and fell into a cattle gap and was
unable to get out, or did not hear
the approaching train. When he
Was picked up in an unconscious
condition, a. bottle of whiskey
was. found on his person. He
died in about a hour after he was
hit
No blame is attached to the
railroad officials, as it was im
possible for them to have seen
him at this place/as there is* a
sharp^cmjve in the tijack there. *
The-fallowing evietenee given
by Dr. Walker at the Coroner’s
inquest, gives a more accurate
account of how the negro came
to his death:
Dr. Warnell, Dr. Lindsay and
myself examined tfie body of
Abram Wade, deceased, and we
did not find any trace.of any in
juries of any consequense on the
surface ot the body, and our
opinion was, that his death was
caused by a fracture of the skull
and the brain. 1-Ie had a hemor
age in the head from this frac
ture and this was enough to kill
him. We are also at a loss to
understand how he could have
been killed by the train. and not
having any signs visible on the
surface of his body, and we
thought possibly he could have
been picked up and carried some
distance and been hit by the train.
We did not strip him entirely
but pulled his shirt off and ex
amined him and we did not find
any injuries to his lower extremir
ties,

No Change Soon.
It begins to look now as if Mrs.
S. A. Roddenbery'will not' enter
upon the duties as postmistress
of Thomasville, if/she accepts the
appointment before the;,latter
part of May. It was expCted that
Postmaster Dismuke would send
in his resignation to' take effect
about the first of January; but the
report is novv current to the effect
that Mr. Dismuke will not resign,
but will continue iff office until the
expiration of his commission
which will be May 24, 1914.
It is said that Mr. Dismuke has
conferred with Mrs. Roddenbery
and that it is agreeable with her
for him to continue in office until
the expiration of his term.
Since the announcement was
given out that Judge Park had
recomended Mrs. Roddenbery for
the appointment, the subject of a
new postmaster for Thomasville
has been dropped by. all parties
and it would seem that the public
is ready and willing to accept the
appointment gracefully without
a murmur. Thomasville Press.
