Last Saturday morning Mr. Calhoun
II. Allen, formerly Of Anderson, met
with n serious accident in Spartanburg.
He was working OH tho stccplc of the
Presbyterian Church and fell from /.
| scaifOld about seventy feet above the
ground. He had descended from the
upper scaf1Old around the pinnacle and
square part Of the tower. There was IL
network Of scailOld timbcrs between
him and the .gronn;i, bnt he got such
pitch that he fell clear Of them and
touched nothing until he hit the
ground. lio hada narrow escape from
sudden death. One arm was tlislOca-
ted and the other brnlcn and his fore
head severely bruised. He never once
lost consciousness and even helped he
physicians in the dressing of his dis
located limbs. Mr.. Allen is brother
of Our towsman, Mr.. Il. T.. Allen, who
went to SparfanhmrS Sunday uIlti re-
turned yesterday. lie reports his
brother doing we'll and says there is n
fair chance for his recovery.
Brown, Osborne g. Co.'S establish
mcnt was throngcd throughout tho
day last Thursday by tho fair sex who
were attracted there Oh account of tho
grand spring opening. set apart for
that day. The decorations were tnsti-
ly arranged and in every department
all the latest styles and novelties were
displayed. The dress goods and milli-
merry departments were especially at
tractivc to the ladies, who spent the
greater portion of their time in inspect
ing the beautiful pattern hats and
dresses. The millinery department is
in charge of Miss Anna Belle May. re-
Gently of New York, who, with her
assistants, thoroughly posted the visi-
tors in all the latest styles. Miss May
made q friend of all the visitors, who
were loud in thcic praise of her bcauti-
full work and exquisite taste. Mcssrs.
Brown, Osborne s. Co. have in store
one OF tho largest stocks Of spring and
summer goods they have ever brought

The figures Of the Missouri popula-
ton by counties, as announced today,
when compared with the census figures
of ten years ago, make an odd showing
None OF the states, which have been an
nounced thus far have shown a larger
decrease in the population Of SO many
counties. Missouri's return show that
in eighteen counties there were losses in
the last decade. These include Audrain,
9l4: Barton, 25l; Bates, 2,OS2; Clay,
953; Cooper, l75; Grundy, A; Henry,
1871; Iron, 400; johnson. 2s9; Knox, y;
Monroe, 1914; Montgomery, 279; Nor
gan, 1876; Pike, 577; Rails, 7; Randolph,
45l; Saline, 50; Schuyler, 400.
The greatest increase during the de-
cade was in st. Louis City, aud
amounted to 1913 ,46S. Buchanan county
came next with a gain of 8 l,7SS. Jack
son was next with 34,6Ss gain, and
Jasper had a gain Of 8 ,5lS.
Two counties which gained but six
persons in the ten.year period were
Warren and Lincoln. Other small
gains were iftyY-nine for Saline county.
Following is a table showing the
population Of Missouri by counties in
1900 and ten yeari ago, and the gains

MISSOURI CENSUS.
State Shows a Gain Of 1913 Per Cent IN
Last Ten Years.

Washington, ID. C.-The population
OF the state Of Missouri at this time,
according to the announcement OF the
Census Bureau. is 3,l06,665. The an
nouncement shows an increase, since
1890, OF AZ, 4sl, as the population OF the
state ten years ago was 2,679,lsi. This
increase amounts to 1853 per cent. The
hrst accurate census Of the state was
taken in 1910, and the population at
every census since then was: 1910,
20, SIS; 1870, 90, 557; 1880. l40.455; 1870,

2,679.ls4; 1900, 3,lO6.66
The reports of the bureau show that
Missouri has been the fifth State In the
Union, in point of size, since 1870; In
1850. 1t was eight; in 1880, thirteenth;
1870, sixteenth: 1880, t~wenty-6rst; $50,

THE PRESIDENTS NESsAGE.

1t has become almost trite TO say
that President McKinley's messages are
chiefly remarkable for their length and
yet there is no phrase so peculiarly
descriptive of his state papers. In his
message 10 the present congress he
confines himself, almost entirely, to an
exhaustive and verbose review Of past
conditions with very little il any at
tempt to outline q policy. In referring
to ii the London Daily News says
"The message contains nothing new
and nothing very Illuminating on mat
tiers that are old.n This certainly con-
tains much truth.
In its very essence ii Is distinctly q
Mckinley message and proclaims its
author from every sentence. Every
act OF his public life has been In keep
ing with its spirit. Lacking the strong
convictions and fearless spirit OF Il
leader he has been enabled to maintain
his popularity by discovering the pop
ular side OF most questions aud losing
no time in getting on that side, re-
CARELESS of former allegiance. Chang
ing but slightly a well worn phrase, he
Is well described as the "The mar of
adaptabIlIty."
A great part Of the message deals
exclusively with foreign questions but,
aside from that part referring to China
and the Alaskan boundary, most Of it
refers to very trivial matters and many
of them settled. He offers nothing new
in regard to the Nicarauguan Canal
and throws on the constitutional con-
veution Of Cuba all responsibility for
that Island. He declares that peace
exists in the Philippine Islands and yet
calls for $1,000 or $4,000 men for SER
vice there. His reference to the trusts
is so meaningless IS to be absolutely
worthless and only tends to prove bis
s~ubservience to the moneyopOwer, The
most readable part Of the message is
that in which reference is made TO the
work Of the different departments, as
1t is also the most instructive. As a
full survey Of past events it is a success
but IS an outline Of future policies, as
a message is expected TO be, it is a
failure.

The State OF Jefferson.

1t has been said, "Things should
never DO done by halves; il il be right,
do ii boldly; II it be wrong leave II
undone. Every day is q little life, and
and u whole life is but a day repeat
ed.n 1t is suggested by the Globe
Democrat, that inasmuch rs Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory would unite
in their application for statehood, and
neither Oklahoma or other name OF
Indian derivation would be acceptable
rs the name OF a state, an excellent
name would be jefferson" Wash
ington's fame was due more, perhaps,
to his military achievements than to
any other Of his many accomplish
ments. he holds, and Justly so, the
highest place in the hearts Of his
countrymen. all Americans love to do
his memory honor. One OF the
sovereign states Of the Union has been
honored with bis name. jefferson was
a greater statesman than Washington;
indeed, according TO men learned In
statecrsft, Jenerson was tho most pro-
found statesman that has ever lived.
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory
constitute the only part of the vast
louisiana Purchase, made by Jefferson,
which is not already organized into
states. 1t will be an honor to that
great section as well as the memory Of
Jefferson. The. G. DIS suggestion is
splendid; let the press regardless of
OF politics ''push it along"

Chicago & Alton Officials.

Three Chicago q Alton railroad officials
were 10 our city Thursday. They were
J. W. Benjamin., Of the construction de.
partment, G. A. King. Of the freight de.
partment, and +. Huston, Of the legal
department. They came In Thursday
morning aud drove over the road from
here to MAYHEM, following as near Ne
possible the old road bed graded from
Lexington southwark. They were accom-.
panied by MI. J. X. Moorehead and Capt.
Joseph A. Wilson, and took the train at
MAYHEM instead Of returning here.
Their object was to inspect the old road
bed from here south and to make some
inquiries concerning this coal field. They
represent the new management Of the
Chicago a Alton railroad aud their com.
ing here at this time without any solici.
tation, as far a. we can learn from any
one here, may be an indication favorable
to Lexington and her coal interests. We
have an excellent coal field In aud
around Lexington and II only needs Ia.
vestigation by competent judges to prove
1t. We hope that their visit here
Thursday may be the means OF getting
them TO make q more careful inspection
Of the advantages Of our town.
