Prevented a Wreck.

A special from Falkville, Ala, says ::
"What might have been one of the
most serious wrecks experienced for
years by the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad was prevented here this
morning by the rare presence of mind
and prompt action of Walker Simpson,
the IA year-old son of Thomas l.. Simp-
son. Walker. with several companions,
while passing the section houses about
quarter of a mile below the railroad
station, found peice broken from the
rails along the track. The piece was
about eighteen inches long and had
fallen, leaving gap of that length
With all posi- BILE speed young Simpson
hurried back to the station, arriving
Just in the nick of time for as he ran
up the steps to inform the operator of
his find, fast freight train No. 10 going
south, was seen to turn the curve about
mile away, running at a speed of
thirty miles an hour This train was
double header and carried about
thirty five loaded cars. The arrival of
Simpson at the. station and the quick
telling of his discovery enabled the
operator to display the red flag, there
by preventing a serious and in all
probability fatal wreck.

THE BOARD.
The Budgets for the Ensuing Year
Made Out.
Board of Health Abolished, and q
New Law Regulating Same
to be Enacted.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
met in regular session Thursday night
of last week at the City Hall.
A petition was received from num-
Der of merchants, asking that street
peddling and drumming" be pro-
hibited. The matter was referred to
the Legislative committee.
The Mayor re-referred the Board of
Health question to the Board. At their
former meeting Drs. Wallace Wilkes,
w. NJ Biddle and J. l.. VOORHEES, were
elected as members of the Board of
Health, the law requiring that three
physicians be elected to act in con-
junction with the Mayor and City
Marshall the five to compose the
Board of Health, and these five to elect
one of tue physicians to act as City
Health Officer. When it came 10 an
election, there was tie between Drs.
Wilkes and VOORHEES,, and Mayor
Yoest declined to cast the deciding
vote. To obviate matters, the Board
of Aldermen abolished the law creating
the Board of Health, and the City At
torney was instructed to prepare
another ordinance, providing for only
one physician on the Board, he to be
elected by the Board Of Mayor and
Aldermen.

"Martyrs" to the Piuskjn.

Twelve men were killed during the
past three months playing the national
college game of football. The men
who were so unfortunate were as rule
in physical condition which made
the rugged game abnormally dangerous
or were so constituted that :hGy should
not have engaged in football at all.
The accidents occurred mainly in the
early part of the season before the
timber was seasoned. One fatality was
suicide from the effects of an injury
sustained in the game, and another
resulted from case which cannot be-
connected with football. The pigskin
became lodged in an electric light
globe, and the player was electrocuted
trying TO extricate it. Six of the
twelve accidents occurred in Pemsyl-
vania and three in Philadelphia.
Hundreds Of minor injuries were
sustained and large number Of
players are still halt and lame from the
results Of the game.

Libelling Mr.. Padgett.

The Franklin Review-Appeal says
THE circular issued by Mr.. Lloyd Cecil
against Congressman Padgett has met
with the condemnation which might
have been expected. The attitude of
the Columbia papers, published in the
home of each. as given elsewhere in
this issue may be fairly accepted as
expressive of the popular reputation
of the reprehensible assault upon the
character of the gentleman against
whom the venOmous darts of malice
were directed. The steps which Mr..
Padgett has taken to vindicae his good
name, by civil action, and to punish
his traducer, by criminal procedure,
are appropriate and should be carried
to their limit. The assault will really
prove beneficial TO Mr.. Padgett and
react promptly on Mr.. Cecil. The
latter. il is said in the press, has long
been Mr.. Padgett's personal enemy,
but to outsiders the whole procedure
savors as much of political move a
of personal vengeance.

ARSON CHARGED.
Yves Green and lin Ed Johnson
Lodged in Jail.
Indicted for Burning Cook Bros and
Satterfeld's Stores at
Santa Fe

The grand jury, which adjourned last
week, returned indictments against Yves
Green and Jim Ed johnson, both ne
groes, on the charge Of arson, for burn,
ing the store houses of Cook Bros. and
j. E. Satterfeld at Santa Fe several
months ago.
Deputy Sheriff Ed Hight arrested
Green in town Monday, and caught
johnson at Santa Fe Tuesday morning
Both were placed in Jail.
The burning of these stores caused a
great deal of feeling among the people
in the Santa Fe neighborhood, and re-
wards amounting to several hundred
dollars were offered by the owners of the
stores and the insurance companies.
Ever since the fires, detectives have
been at work on the case, and it is I'M
derstood that a negro detective who was
employed to go to Santa Fe and mix
with the negroes in that locality has had
much to do with bringing about the ar
rest of Green and johnson.

JURY FAILED
TO AGREE.
Another MistrIal IN the Massey MUIR
der Case.
All the Jurors Were for Conviction,
but Differed on the Degree of
Punishment.

The case of the State VS.. Sam Mas
sew, which was on trial in the Cir
cult Court last week, resulted in
another mistrial. The jury reported
Friday morning about II o'clock that
they could not agree, and the Jurors
were thereupon discharged by the
court. All of the jurors were for CON
viction, but differed as to the degree of
punishment nine agreeing that ten
years in the penitentiary would be d
lust punishment, and the others being
for two or three years. Massey Is
bond was fixed at So, 500, which he
has not yet made.
This IS the second mistrial in this
case. At the first trial, last June, six
of the jurors were for aquittal and the
other six were for conviction, but
varied in the degree of punishment.
Massey is charged with killing Con.
stable Walter Vaughan in saloon al
Mt. Pleasant. Massey, however,
denies that he killed him, and charges
Robert Boggan with the deed. Boggar
himself was killed by a man named
Flavely before Massey was brought tx
trial.

all prospects of competition with
nightingale, though ours may be the
superior vocalist? And those postof-
fee names! Nature has lavished all
her favors upon some of our southern
mountain parks. but 1t takes an ad-
