a CHARGE event disclosed to me and the
operator at west erd the possibility
OF making it shipper sim. 1t came about
in this way;
About 3 o'clock che Sundav morning a
belated freight train approached my end
of the tunnel. ! opened the key and call
ed the man at the other md but he had
evidently forgotten that the train was
back, ana had taken advantage OF the
quiet to catch a nap.
Dawson must be pounding his ear "
l said to the Waterman, who was stretch
ed out on the floor in the corner, Il
can't raise him"
But that gentleman, whose duty 1t is
to keep watch and ward. was evidently
indulging In the same luxury for his an
swer was a snore.
l kept on calling until the long train
had come almost to a standstill. i knew
as a mater of fact that there were no
trains bound in the opposite direction
within many miles of Long tunnel. l
also knew that even if there were, they
could not enter the tunnel until given
the signal by the operator, and such sig
nal could not be given until l had been
consulted. l was. therefore, perfectly
safe in allowing the train to proceed. So
not wishing to hold 1t, pulled the signal.
and Il rolled into the tunnel. When it
came out at the other end the noise arous-
ed the sleeping operator, and l told him
what I had done.
This event, as I said, awakened in both
of us possibilities that had never occurred
before. Sitting at breakfast in the big
farm house the same morning, we talked
the matter over.
There is no reason" said Dawson, af-
ter we had discussed the thing from all
sides. "why we shouldn't get some sleep
out of this"
Especially" I added. when we can do
so with perfect safety"
So we agreed that for the future II one
of US called the other for track" and
received no reply, he should act on the
assumption that the other was asleep,

and let the train go through In such a
course there appeared TO be absolutely no
danger; because II, while this train was
in the tunnel, another should approach at
the opposite end the operator there
would have to call up the other man 90
get the right-of-way, when he could be
informed of the state OF affairs.
And thus we altered the system which
had been adopted by the officials, TO suit
our own convenience. So far as We could
see there was in the new system not a
single flaw. No possible contingency
could we devise with which II could not
successfully cope. But such a contin-
gency did arise. and It shall ever be 10
me an object lesson OF the limits TO human
conception. We went on with our new
scheme for a month, sleeping when we
chose and staying awake when we chose,
when our system" was suddenly ex-
plOded.

operator at the other end Of the tunnel

village, and his place WAS filled by the day

GOEBEZ IS MURDER.

! The trial at Georgetown, KY, o.
former Republican Secretary OF
State Caleb Powers. charged with
| completely in the murder of VIM.
Goebel, Democratic governor OF
Kentucky, is progressing slowly.
Enough evidence has already been
brought out to show that Goebel
was the victim Of a most foul con-
spiracy to take his life for political
reasons. Goebel was a leader of
great force and ability and 1t was
decided that the only way to win
was to put him out OF the way. At
first we were inclined to think that
his murder was the work of fanat-
ical partisan, but unfortunately such
was not the case. For the good
name of Kentucky 1t was hoped that
it was the insane work of a crank
and that civilization would be
saved the humiliating spectacle
which is now being disclosed at the
trial of the case at Georgetown.
The evidence already adduced
clearly establishes the fact that Will
liam Goebel's assassination was the
result of a most cowardly plot.
concocted by politicians to silence
the opposition of a great political
leader whom they feared. Whether
or not Powers will be convicted we
do not know, but it has been proved
beyond cavil that the Democratic
life was brought to an
end by the hand of an as
sassin. possibly the hireling OF men
who stood high in the councils of
the Republican party of Kentucky.
That Goebel was foully murdered
there is no doubt. That he was the
victim of partisan hate and CAPT.
talistic interference in the politics
Of Kentucky is just as true. 1t is
to be hoped that the whole dis
graceful conspiracy will be thor
oughly exposed and that the
guilty will be punished.

amount of interest so far among the

derision on the part of the people

TEXTILE Mills.
TimeS-Democrat.

Times Democrat.
The past year has been, as is well
known, a wonderful one in the in
crease of textile mills in this coun-
try. The United States is rapidly
obtaining control of the textile in
dustry, and will soon supply not
only the home demand, but have
both cotton and wooden goods for
export. Strange as it may seem,
the greatest proportional increase
in the decade has been in the manu-
facture Of silk goods, which. from
the smallest proportions ten years
ago, has grown to considerable i'm
portance.
The .sTextile World" has issued
summary record of the textile
machinery now in the United States
compared with what it was ten
years ago:

Massachusetts still leads in the
cotton industry; but, while cotton
spindles in the Northern States have
increased in ten years by only
2,521, 213, or 1913 per cent, they
have Increased in the South by
1890, 447, or az per cent.
Next to Massachusetts in import
ance as a manufacturer of cotton
goods comes South Carolina. Rhode
Island slightly exceeds it in spin
tiles, but is behind it in looms. |
Then follows North Carolina, New
Hampshire, Georgia, Connecticut
and Maine. Even if the Southern
States show no greater increase in
spindles and loans than in the past
decade, they will be ahead of the
North in the production of cotton
cloth by 1910; but the increase is
growing in geometrical ratio, and it
s now evident not only that they
will be ahead Of the North in ten
1ears, but very considerably ahead

The Gazette IS not disposed to
condemn the action of the mob at
Huntsville, Ala. The people of
any other community in the South
would no doubt have acted in the
same manner. Elijah Clark, the
black fiend, could not expect better
treatment. There is something so
inexpressibly horrible about the
crime of rape, particularly when
committed upon the person of an
innocent white child by a negro
brute, that the reason or ordinarily
cool-headed men is temporarily de-
thsoned and the most law abiding
and peaceful communities are trans
formed into furious mobs, and the
lite OF the culprit must be had be-
fore the people are restored to their
senses. 1t is the unwritten law of
the South that negro ravishers for.
felt not only their lives but the right
to be tried by jur,es. The vic inns
OF African lust must not be further
tortured by being taken into the
courts. Long-distance theorists
and negro sympathlzers who know
nothing of the character Of the
negro may continue to dennunce
what they are pleased to call s.South-
ern outrages," but swift and con.
dign punishment will always be
melted out to black rapists.

The knitting industry has more
than doubled in the decade, and
the South is much better represented
in it than in the manufacture of
wooden goods but in all these lines
there has been an improvement,
showing that the South is destined
in time to become the textile man
ufacturing centre of the United
States.
