DAVID PERRY SuFFOCATED.
The people of this vicinity we're
greatly surprised Friday morning
when they heard the report that David
cry living east of town was found
dead. The condition of the house and
the position in which the body was
found pointed strongly to foul play.
Everyone here knowing that he was a
very wealthy man and had been
known to keep large sums Of money in
the house, and living alone most of
the time, naturally believed the first
report as authentic. His brother
Franklin saw him alive last at 6 100
o'clock Thursday evening and every
thing seemed the same as usual at his
departure. About go O'Clock Friday
morning Will Zimmerman, having
some business to transact with Mr.
Perry, went to his house, opened the
door. and found the stove tipped over,
and David lying across a chair with
his head and hands almost touching
the floor. He Immediately came to
town and told Louis Woolsey who had
been employed by Mr. Perry the past
summer. Mayor Tatro was also not
fed and looked over the scene and
Immediately notified Coroner Jewell,
who arrived here at IL 100 O'Clock m.
After thorough EXAMINATION of the
body on which no marks of violence
were found, the overturned stove told
the story.
1t is supposed that coal from the
fire fell out and ignited the floor he.
meath the stove, burning enough OF
the floor to precipitate the legs of the
stove and overturned it, filling the
house with smoke. The position OF
the body indicated that he tried to
arise but was overcome by the fumes.
The floor being of hard wood burned
slowly and the fire finally went out.
Coroner Jewell emp,nelled a jury
composed of Lou Owens, Ed Allen and
Irwin Allen, who after listening to
the evidence of several persons rem
dered verdict. that the deceased met
death by accidental suffocation. Mr.
Perry was widely known all over the
country, being All old settler and very
eccentric Starting in life with al
most nothing and by his own hard
labor accumulated fortune estimated
at over 500, 600 in land ard money.
The body was removed to the home OF
his nephew, Eugene Perry, and pre-
pared for burial. which took place at
the Methodist church on Saturday ut
II 100 m Rev Mrs Olmstead of De-
corah preached the funeral sermon,
with interment at the Bloomfield &C.
metery. Mr. Perry was past "a years
of age and is survived by three brothers.

THE BLAME FOR RAILROAD
WRECKS.

The recent awful calamity at Lu-
railroad employee to do the thing he
should have done. He failed because
he forgot to carry out the orders. He
forgot to carry out the orders because
he had lost so much sleep that human
nature gave way.
1t IS not worth while in that partic-
ular case or in like cases to criticize
the railroad or the employee. To do
that does not restore valued life or
valuable property. 1t is necessary to
discuss such calamities in order TO
try to find a remedy that will prevent
their recurrence. There is need of a.
law that will limit the number of hours
in which any employee on a train
shall work within twenty four hours.
Nothing else will answer. The rail-
road company is tempted under pres
ent conditions to employ too few men
and to trust to extra work bv their
regular men upon special occasion
The employees are tempted by the de-
sire to serve their EMPLOYER. and to
make extra money to work more con-
secutive hours than their strength will
warrant. What is the result? Read
the story of accidents due to the fact
phat the men in charge have been
tried beyond the capacity of human
nature to bear. Upon this point the
Rocky Mount Record truly saws of
the employees of the railroads:
They are as a class careful. in the
dlscharge of their duties, and ready

WHOSE OK is GORED?

In Washington the rules against
controlling primaries and conventions
by Federal officials are still displayed
in the departments. In North Caro-
lima primaries and conventions the
Federal officeholders are the whole
thing, they crack the whip, Roosevelt
and Rollins are endorsed according to
orders "sent down. When Roosevelt
was Civil Service Commissioner, he
rallied at that sort of thing. Now it is
carried on by his own appointees and
for his advancement. Much depends
on whose OK is gored.

JOHN SHARPE WILLIAMS

No man in public life has grown so
rapidly in the past year as John
Sharpe Williams, of Mississippi. No
man has been so much praised and
toasted and honored. He has not in the
least been affected by it, but remains
the same unaffected Democrat that he
was when he first entered the House
He has not grown by reason of repu-
tation as a profound constitutional
lawyer, like Bailey; because of his
special mastery of parliamentary law,
like Richardson; because of his mas
terry of tariff schedules, like Carlyle.
He is an able lawyer, a skilful parlia-
learned in the Jeffersonian view OF
tariff taxation, but he is not a spe-
cialist. He is an accomplished lin
guist, q ripe scholar, a fluent speaker,
land his elf-possesson evidences the
man of thought, the man of culture,
and the man of mental, moral and
physical culture
Savoyard says he 'never says a
foolish thing, and never occupies the
dead level of mediOcrity'' and declares
his speech on reciprocity with Canada
and the balance of trade was worthy
of Robert ]. Walker, who framed the
best tariff bill enacted in the history
of the country. "SavOyard' gives this
picture of the relations existing be-
tween Mr.. Williams and his brother
that is as beautiful as Dickens story
of Brother Charles" and Brother
Ned:
Mr.. Williams has a younger broth
er. q co-heir with him in the estate
they inherited from their parents. The
confidence and fellowship between
these two are beautiful and ideal.
There was never a division of their
heritage, never a settlement of their
accounts. The property of one was
the property of the other. What be-
longed to both belonged to each. MOI
ONLY were their lands and chattelS IN
common, but their bank accounts ana
private purses were in common. Wnen
the elder brother was manager the
Younger called on him for money or
supplies when he was in need, and
always received the full of his re-
quests and when the elder entered
politics and was returned to Congress
the Younger took charge OF the es-
tate. and for more than 10 years has
been the purse-holder Both are hap
pily married, and each is the father
of seven children. The relations be-
tween them are simply delightful

NOT A DOLLAR OF DEBT ON THE
"OLD RELIABLE"

The friends Of the News and OBJ
server will be glad to know that,
after nearly ten years of bearing the
burden of debt. the last dollar of in
debtedness has been paid. At one
time the debt exceeded $4,000.
Every dollar has been paid and the
splendid plant and property are un-
encountered.
The advertising business of the pa
per has grown more in the past year
than i'm any similar period in the his
tory of the paper, though the rates
have been substantially increased.
The circulation of the paper has
grown even more rapidly, and more
new subscribers have been put on the
list during the past two months than
i'm any previous two months i'm the
history of the paper. Many unsO-
Icited subscriptions have come
through the mails, accompanied by ex-
pressions of endorsement of the pa
per's position and its service TO the
cause of Democracy.
From all sources words of cheer,
approval and commentator have
been received. The commentator OF
the papers policy i'm the recent events
that have engrossed public attention
has been most gratifying. This is all
shows that the people of this good
Commonwealth cannot be moved from
their moorings by the clamor Of the
agents of monopoly; made to doubt
the integrity of men they have trust
ed by the malicious ISLANDERS of the
vicious or the ignorant; or driven
from faith in their party by those
whose enmity is notorious and whose
protested friendship is assumed to
stab 1t in a vital place.
The increased business of the paper
and the payment of its Indebtedness
will permit some Improvements that
have been i'm contemplation, and ell
able the paper to wage a more sue
cessful warfare for Democracy, Tenn
pcrance, Education.
