Goldsboro, Feb. 19—A strange coincidence occurred in New Hope township when two brothers living the same locality died at exactly the same time, 9:50 o’clock. Major and Bud Hinson were the names of the brothers. They were both well known citizens of the New Hope section, having lived there for a number of years. Major Hinson was 42 years of age and had been ill for some time. He died from paralysis. Bud Hinson contracted pneumonia several days ago and died at the age of 40. Both men were married and had several children.
