Mr.. Dunlap has now gotten into COM

1.-THE LADY OF LYONS" NOMINATED.

Mr.. Yost was nominated at Buchan-
an last week as the Republican candi-
date for Congress. This, it was known.
would happen. 1t was on the bill OF
fare, being part OF the menu served
up at the great love feast and Ratchet
burying, which took place In Column
bian Hall In this city Saturday, Sep
TENDER 20, last; but there came a
SEQUEL that was not on the bill. After
the nomination was received Mr.. YOst
so the report says. undertook to GUST
Mr.. r. A. Fulwiler the chairman of
the Republican Congressional Com
mittee, and put in his place Mr.. Tur-
ner K. Hackman of Staunton. In this
contest Mr.. Fulwiler was successful,
whereupon Mr.. Yost declined the nom
nation. This placed the party in an
awkward position. Mr.. Yost was
certainly the strongest candidate they
could have nominated, and all knew It,
Mr.. Geo. A. Revercomb was possibly
the next strongest, but he had deter
mined not to 60 into politics any deep
er, or possibly like Speaker Henderson
knew that defeat was inevitable, so he
went out of the race.
The party was of course much per-
picked. The original intention was
not to nominate, and they would have
adhered to this intention had Teddy
not given them their orders, and put
his finger In the pie. The leaders,
therefore, cast about for a standard
bearer. Old Mother" Hubbard, who
did the turn the last time, had had
enough of it, aid verybody had had
enough Of him. 30 he could not be con.
sidered. The list was gone over very
carefully. 1t was small In numbers
and in material, it was HobsOn's choice
sure enough. So after grooming and
travail, and much labor, the mountain
brought forth mouse. James Lyons
was nominated, Little Jimmy Lyons
as he is called. We do not know Mr.
Lyons personally, but on enquiry We
find the estimate of him to be that he
is nice little soul, in his youth q
mothers boy, and one who in after
years never grew to the stature of man
physically or mentally, and fully mer'
its the title of Little jimmy A
person about as fit to be a successful
candidate for Congress as a cornstalb
for telephone pole. But Jimmy, II
now appears. was the only clay handy,
he had. few delegates to start with,
but they moulded him into candidate
with his still small voice, his dudist
manners, his lady like amble, eye
glasses and those sweet winning ways
found only In drawing rooms and
the mazes of the dance. Twaf great
farce. filled with pathos. cruel, crue
joke, so the public thinks. Twas MARI
Anthony we believe, who said, whe1
talking to Octavious of Lepidus' whom
they had sent to bring Caesars will:
"This is slight unmeritable man,
E."Meet to be sent On errands-.
''OetayiOus have seen more days thai
thou,
And though we lay these honors on thi
man
ITO ease ourselves of divers slanderOu
loads,
He shall but bear them as the ass bear
gold;
ITO eroan and sweat under the business
"Either led or driven as we point tn
way.
And having brought our treasure wher
we Will,
Then take we down his load, and turf
him off
ITO shake his ears, and Craze in com
monS.''
Such is politics.

in the world, died here yesterday.
Uncle" 'Lige claimed to have attained
the remarkable age Of 1876 years.
He often recounted incidents taking
place during the War of 1912 which
could only be known to him from per-
sonal observation, and told many in

he had known and served.
He acted as servant for Lafayette
when he visited this place in 1924, and
also served Aaron Burr after he came

ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT.
Negro Killed at Lake City by being
Caught in Gin Belt.

LAKE CITY, Nov. 24.-Special.
Today witnessed another fearful
taking off in our town. This time
blame can be laid at no ones door.
1t was one of those accidents that
are liable to befall any body who has
anything to do with powerful ma
chinery. James Mason, colored
man, was killed at Messrs A H Will
liams & Co.'S steam mill. 1t seems
that belt under the gin house had
slipped its pulley. Mason went
down to throw it back on the pulley.
1t is supposed that in taking hold Of
the belt, which was running, he ran
his hand inside the loop and was
caught by'lh belt which carried
him to the rapidly revolving pulley,
and he was whirled around this a
number of times-how many nobody
knows. When he was reached and
dragged away from the machinery
it was found by the physician who
promptly came, that one arm was
broken in two places, one leg broken,
a wound on the side of the head and
his side injured. All that could be
done for him was done, but he died
in few hours. No one witnessed
the awful tragedy and what we have
said as to how the accident happened
Is merely supposition. James Mason's
death is deeply regretted. His en-
ployers speak of him in high terms.
He was good, honest, faithful and
respected negro. He was highly re-
garded by all who knew him.
