The Alabama constitutional con-
vention got down to business when
it made the law providing for
qladrennial sessions of the legis-
lature in that state. We think a
similar amendment to the consti-
ton of Arkansas, with the salaries
of Legislators doubled, would prove
a great boon TO the state and q wise
and economical move. The services
OF good, practical, oommon.sense
men cannot be secured as legisla-
tors under existing conditions.
Let's raise the salary of the solon
and let him exercise his law-mak.
ing propensities every four years
instead of biennialIy, as is the
present custom.

THOUGHT 1T WASN'T LOADED
Ed Hodges Shoots and Accidentally
Kills His Little Cousin,
Albert Bird.

One OF the most deplorable and dis
tressing accidents which has happened
in our county in many day occurred
Wednesday morning about s O'Clock at
the home of Mr.. A. Bird, wel-known
and prosperous planter of Franks town
ship, in the Yocona neighborhood, in
which his eldest son, Albert. Jr, aged 10
years, was shot and killed by his cousin,
Ed Hodges, aged Ii years.
The details of the tragedy, so far as we
have been able to learn, are summed up
as follows:
Mr.. Bird had been riding over his farm
looking after his crop and the fences, and
had returned to the house for something
when his son Albert and his nephew Ed
Hodges met him at the gate. Ed asked his
uncle to let him hold the gun and Albert
wanted TO hold the horse. Both requests
were granted and Mr.. Bird went into the
house, at the same time cautioning Ed not
to prank with the gun.
The gentleman had hardly gotten into
house before Ed had extracted the cart
ridges from the gun, which was a breech-
loading shotgun, and was pointing and
swapping the weapon at his cousin Albert
who had climbed upon the herse.
Absent-mindedly Ed reloaded the gun
and probably set it down by the side OF
| the gate, and was playing about presuma
bly, with no thought of pranking with the
weapon again, but finally picked it W
and pointed it directly at Albert at the
same time pulling the trigger The CUR
was discharged and the load took effec
just above the boys eyes, almost blowing
the top of his head off.
Mr.. Bird ran from the house lust il
time to see bis son reel and fall from the
saddle dead.
1t was horrible affair and Ed Hodge:
is almost wild with grief and remorse
over the thought of having killed hi:
cousin.
Albert Birds remains were inferred
