What the Press, Thinks of the
Gazette. -.


We appreciate and feel honored
by the handsome notices given
below by our brethren of the press.
We shall strive to fulfill their
expectations.
Rock bridge County News:
The first Issue OF the LEXINGTON
GAZETTE under It's new publishers and
editors, Messrs. Moore & Kennedy, was
published Friday evening. TIE paper
appears In an Attractive new heading and
new dress, and is neatly and clearly
printed. It's contents are an interesting
compendium of facts of local interest
about Rockbridge and Lexington, and a
discriminating selection OF general news
and miscellaneous matter. The editors
announce that up-to-date local and gene
raj news will be the chief character istic
Of the paper, and their opening number
gives every assurance that they can and
will carry out this purpose.
During the past month the County
News has for the first time had the
complete monopoly OF the local news
paper field and the Newspaper business In
this office has been unusually dull. There
Is nothing truer than the homely proverb
that mpetitionisth the life Of trade, though
would be monopolIsts are 10th to recognize
it; and we look confidently to the com
petition Of our contemporary under young
and vigorous management to aid In
bringing increased prosperity to the
newspaper business In Lexington, OF
which we should get our share.
Where there are two or more papers In
a community ms tead Of one the com
munity Is better of, fol- 1t gives better
chance to every man to be heard. This,
fortunately, includes the editor OF the
paper himself, who II he bears all the
responsibility for newspaper utteranoe, Is
tempted, In view OF the divided opinions
Of his patronage, which includes all the
county or community, to sssume respon
slbility for no opinions and to speak his
mind on nothing; and the duty which
every reputable newspaper owes to speak.
as occasion arises, for truth and right
eousness and the public interest to the
best Of It's judgment and conscience, is
more likely to be avoided.
We welcome the temperance Of the
GAZETTE. congratulateits publishers
and editors upon It's first issue and wish
them success.

ROOSEVELT IN CHARLESTON

1t was a kind, generous thing in
President Roosevelt to go to
Charleston this week. He has
nothing to gain by it personally
or politically, and he has not been
abused or derided more venom
Ously any where in this broad ex-
panse of country than in that city.
The time for his first visit had to be
deferred on account of the serious
illness of his son. He had other
excuses and prOvOcations for
staying away, but he put all these
aside and evidenced a kindly desire
to help a worthy enterprise,
struggling against adverse luck,
and he is there now, after con-
siderable labor and inconvenience.
The people of the South should
remember this trip to his credit.

A head-on collision on the Choctaw
Route at the corner of Forrest and
Front streets WAS the cause Of much
excitement Tuesday morning which the
Oklahoma Express, west, train No. |.
which is due to arrive at Forrest City
at 1926, collided with an extra freight
east, at the coal chute in the yards east
Of the city.
Ihe accident happned at 10:49, which
is evidence that the passenger was
tWentY-three minutes late. and it
seems that the freight crew was of
the impression that they had about
four minutes in which to make the
siding and Gear the track for the fast
express.
1t was an improper calculation, how.
ever, and the same old story: mot
enough time, =" is the only reason as.
gned for the unfortunate occurrence.
The freight train was making the
hill with train of about forty cars
under full head of steam. The track
curves sharply at this point and Just
as the freight engine stuck her nose
past the coal chute, the express train
shot INTO view hot more than $50 yards
ahead, coming down grade at about a
25-mile an hour clip. Engineer Poole
OF the freight shut off steam and re
versed the engine and exerted every
means known to obtain IA back ward
motion, while the express rushed down
upon him with lightning like speed.
Death seemed imminent, indeed the Sit
uation was so grave that the engineer
Chas. Cobb, who pilots the express,
with his fireman, left the cab like flying
squirrels, but the freight crew re-
manned at their posts heroically.
OF Chas. Cobb it is said that this was
the first instance in which he ever
jumped and he is one of the veteran
engineers of the road, the survivor of
IA number of disastrous wrecks, and
wears medals and fine gold watch
as trophies of his courage and bravery
at the throttle.
Neither engine was derailed by the
bump and no damage was done beyond
the demolishing of the pilots of both To-
comotlyes. Some of the passengers re
ceived shaking up but no one was
injured.
The news butch, who was standing
up in the front end of the negro coach,
turned complete summersaut
Editor Vadakin was passenger on
the express enroute home from Mem.
phis where he had been to see the Cir.
Gus at Montgomery park Monday. Mr.
| Nadakin is the survivors of three
shak4 ups wi hin the eek.
Engineer Cobb sprained his ankle
! quite severely in making the leap.
Traffic was delayed about an hour
| and fifty minutes.
