Adam Garlick.

Adam Garlick, who has proba
bly, been the victim Of more ac.
cidents than any other man in
the statesays the Bedford Gazette
was killed at the first railroad
crossing on this side of Tatesville
Saturday night, the 10th inst.
Mr.. Garlick spent the evening
with convival comrades in Ever
EFT and was returning to his home
near Tatesville ON horseback when
the fatal accident happened. He
was crossing the railway when
an engine, running backward to
Tatesville, truckhis horse, killing
it and throwing its rider violently
to the ground. Mr.. Garlick 5
head struck the end of a tie and
wascrushed. Thus theprophecy
of this rough, rugged and reck-
less man, who often boasted that
nothing but lightning or steam
engine could kill him, was fulfill
ed. An authentic list of the i'm
portant injuries received by Mr..
Garlick, notmentioning manymin-
or mishaps, is as follows: Last
summer he had two fingers saw
ed off, leaving only one sound
finger on each hand, He served
in the civil war and was shot
through the wrist and struck in
the left eye by spent bullet; he
also received cut from sabre
over the right eye. He had a leg
broken five times; both feet
smashed; was cut in the wrist and
foot with an axe; dragged down
the mountain by the heels by a
runaway team, one Of his ears
being torn off and his jaw broken
in three places, was bitten in the
hand by a rattlesnake whose rat
ties he was attempting to steal;
was run over by wagon loaded
with a ton of coal; was so severely
stung by honey bees that he was
unconscious for several hours
received a cut in the abdomen
with an axe; was knocked down
while working at a grindstone
and picked up for dead; all of his
ribs were broken; one of his ank.
les was cut while he was peeline
bark and big cash was cut in
the other while he was moving
hay. When the next to the last
mentioned mishap occurred, Mr..
Garlick would likely have bled tc
death if the late Jason Hanks, OF
Everett, had not sewed up the
wound with thread made of fibre
from hickory bark.
Mr.. Garlick was about sixty six
years old. For many years he
lived at Chaneysville. Some time
ago he bought a sawmill and NOV
ed to near Tatesville, where he
operated it until he met his in
jury. His wife and several child
rem survive him.

ton of an evening spent at the
hospltable home Of Mr.. and Mrs.

On last Saturday, January 26,
az her home at Big Cove Tannery,
Mrs. Eliza Ann Cham bers, aged
eighty years, five months and
twenty seven days.
"Ah rest thee now. for rest is sweet
To weary hands and wayworn feet.
No tronble mars thy placid brow
Nor any pain Ah rest thee now"
Grandma Chambers, the sub
iect of the above notice, was the
beloved wife of Rev. Lewis Cham
bers. She was born in Chester
county, Pa, July 20, 1920. Sine
embraced religion in her twenty
second year, and united with the
Methodist Episcopal church, OF
which she remained a faithful
member until the time of her
death.
She was married to Rev. Lewis
Chambers February 3, 1S42, and
removed to Fulton county in the
spring of 1871.
She was the mother of eight
children, five of whom died in in
fancy. Those living,ar John W.,
Sherry, Wis; Joseph B., South
Wayne, Wis; and Mrs. Amanda
Pott, of Big Cove Tannery, who
was her faithful attendant during
her last illness.
1t was the blessed privilege of
Mr.. Chambers to have the love
and CON panionship of this excel

sixty years.
"Sixty years together
Sixty years of summer life;
Sunshine and happy weather"
Her home was her field, and her
best efforts were put forth for

MODERN FANATICISM

Attention has been again called to re-
ligious fanticism in Maine by the
death, from pneumonia, of Mrs Mary
Lombard, who on Thanksgiving. Day
was baptized in the Androscoggin at
Shiloh. by members Of the Holy Ghost
and Us Society. When the woman be
came i'll members of the strange band
insisted that prayer would save the
sick woman. Her family, it is said,
drove them from the house and called
a doctor But those who conduct the
work of such organizations as the Holy
Ghost and Us Society and Dowie's or
der are not easily turned aside from
their purpose In a little while the
praying band again invaded the Lom-
bard house and threw away medicine
which the doctor had left. It was nee
essary to drive them out and to add
the threat of arrest if they returned
before the house was made safe against
their intrusion. Having heard of the
woman's death one of the leaders of the
Holy Ghost and Us Society declared
that had the family not interfered with
Gods way Mrs. Lombard would have
recovered.

THE DlSFRANCHlSEMENT CUES.
TON

The Moody resolution for dealing
with the Southern representation pro-
blem has greatly disturbed Southern
Democrats says a Washington cores
pondent of the New York Evening
Post. Wide misapprehension, he says,
exists as to the relation of the Moody
and Crumpacker resolutions. 1T has
been assumed he continues, that
they amounted to practically the same
thing, when, in fact, they are almost
opposites, as may be seen by the eff
feet of the two On the Southern mem
bers. Mr.. Crumpacker's resolution as
sumes. without further inquiry, that
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the colored popu-
lation in the Southern States is a fixed
fact, and proceeds to apply reduction
of representation accordingly. Mr..
Moody's resolution is one of inquiry
as to the Constitutiona1ty of the
Southern Constitutions, presenting re-
auctions Of representation only as an
alternative in case the South is found
to have been ingenious enough to ac-
complish these acknowledgements with
out violation of the Federal instru-
ment. He is not willing TO take for
granted that the existing Southern
plans are necessary, or to accept the
situation as something with which the
Federal laws must be put into har-
mony."
The Crumpacker Resolution has new
er caused the Southerners uneasiness,
the Posts correspondent declares, be-
cause they could always ask North
erners how they knew the extent of
unconstitutional Acknowledgement, and
what they proposed to do. The Moody
resolution, on the other hand, has al
ready so stirred them to action that
conferences are being called. South
ern representatives fear that they can
not hold their Northern Democratic as
sociates in line should there be a con-
test over an inquiry into the Louis
ana Constitution. which is typical.
John R. Thayer is represented as de-
claring that the Southern people have
shown great stupidity in bringing the
issue squarely before Congress, and as
believing that means could have been
found for controlling the negro vote
without flying in the face of the Fed
eral Constitution; and that the Louisi-
ana Constitution would be held by the
United States Supreme Court TO be in
violation OF the Federal Constitution,
and that this should be the settlement
of the question.
The action Of the Southern States in
their efforts to disfranchise the negro
has been looked upon almost calmly
in the North, chiefly for the reason
that there has been little doubt that
before a great while the disfranchise-
ment would be declared unconstitution-
al by the Supreme Court, and that
quietly and peaceably a great wrong
would be righted.

home in Germany. No one,she added, is
mean enough to take a pencil. Ever
since she had been begging, Jennie
Gold has been able to put money in the
bank
The incident would not be Of partlc-
ular interest did it notillustrate further
to what extent people of cities permit
themselves to be imposed upon con
stantly. Great charitable institutions
point out in vain how foolish and
wicked it is to give Unfortunately to
persons who solicit aims on the streets.
Gust SO long as begging brings better
returns than working, will beggars ply
their odious calling. 1t often takes
moral courage to pass person who
asks for money, whereas to give a few
pennies is easy. There are times, of
course, when it seems best to give
without hesitation. But to give to
everybody for fear of missing now and
then a deserving person is a policy I'M
fair to oneself ana to ones fellow
men.

uNWlSE GIVING

There was a run last week on a bank
located far down town in New York.
The reporter for the sun found in the
line of terribly excited depositors Jen-
ME Gold. a beggar who had been ar
rested on Tuesday at the instance Of
woman well-known in society, and
whose fine had been paid by. a young
man who believed that she was not
professional beggar. When Jennie
Gold finally took her place at the
cashiers window there was counted
cut to her $3.50, money which she ad-
mitted she had made at begging.
Speaking Of her craft the Gold
woman said that getting a living by
begging is not the easiest thing in the
world, but it is far easier than work
ing. Its the women" she continued.
"who give. old and young. About every
one in ten stands for. a touch. Gener-
ally they give five or ten cent pieces"
Pencil selling where one had a regular
stand, she declared, is even better than
plain begging. She told Of a pencil
oy-who had just sent $1,000 back to his
