against the bill-only our limit

venting US from striking harder.
And it seems to us that, in the
face of such an array of
facts, it is unjust to cast asper-
sions npOn us-after we have
done our best for the interests of
Hickman.
We do not propose, however,
to allow this statement to inter
fere with the performance of ouI
duty toward Hickman. We pro-
pose to continue along the line
upon which the Courier has al

ward nor hope thereof; and with
out waiting to see which way the

AN UNJUST ACCUSATION.

One of the speakers at the
mass meeting Saturday stated
in effect that the Courier was
run in conjunction with the Full
ton Leader and that its editor
was aware of the Ubiquitous pro-
ceeding known as railrOading the
Hargrove bill through the legis
lature. These were not the ex-
act words used but that rs the
impression left by the speaker
upon his auditors. Upon this
subject we desire no controversy
because there is ground for none ;
but simply wish to enter a de-
NAL in toto of both charges. The
Courier has never been run In
conjunction with any paper
least of all the Fulton Leader.
Neither did its editor know aught
of the Hargrove bill, until he,
like many others, read of it in
the newspapers. Both insinua-
tions are entirely without foun
dation-the gentleman who made
them being, no doubt, misin-
formed, as he was not here when
the news was first received.
And another thing: If the
gentleman concerned will read
the Courier of last week he will
find that this paper was the first
and only paper In the county, or
out of it, to cry out against the
bill and advocate throttling it.
In our last issue we said in part
1t is without doubt the most
absurd bill ever introduced into
any legislature. 1t was conceiv-
ed ard introduced solely for the
benefit of Fulton at the expense
of Hickman, and it can safely be
said that two-thirds of the voters
of Fulton county are strenuous.
ly opposed TO it. 1t should new.
er have been introduced, but now
that it has gone beyond the first
stage it should be strangled be
fore it has an opportunity to lC
the damage it is intended to. BY
concerted action on the part o.
the western portion of the coun
ty this can certainly be done
Let every man put a plug il
where he thinks it will do the
most good and the bill can yet b,
killed.
These statements we believ'
to be plain and to the point. W.
endeavored to oppose the bill
and believed, like the gentleman
In question, that plenty of tim'
yet remained in which to kill it
and that by concerted action Oh

THE STORM.

The storm which struck Hick-
imam early Sunday morning was
one of the tiercest that has visit
ed this neighbOrhood in many
wears. 1t began about 2:25 a.
I'M, with a sudden hard blow and
heavy fall of hail, and continued
for an hour or more. After the
hailstOrm the rain fell in tor
rents and the wind blew a hurri-
Icane. Considerable damage was
done. The smOkestack of the
4 powerhouse was blown down and
i the roof was considerably dam
aged by the fall. The smoke
stack of the Mengel Box Co., al
so came down and many window
flights Of the veneering plant
were broken. The colored Mace
ldonian Baptist Church in East
I Hickman was unrOofed-the roof
being lifted off whole and set
down right side up in an adjoin-
ling lot, after which the walls
collapsed. William Beckman,
living on the edge of town lost
many apple trees by their being
Iuprooted, his fences were blown
down and several of his fine hogs
were killed. Several chimneys
on the residence Of X. T. Tyler
were blown down and many win
dow lights broken. Claude
! Walkers residence lost a large
number of windows and several
chimneys, and other damage was
done.
The steamers Harry Brown and
Jim BOurn, with a tow Of coal,
which tied up opposite Hickman
| Saturday evening, were blown
aground, remaining so until Sun
Gay noon and a part Of their tow
suffered. Two barges loaded
with coal, also a flat, sank in sew
en- feet of water during the storm.
Capt. Mac Sebolt. of Louisville,
instructed A. A. Faris. Jr., by
telephone to take charge of the
barges when the water in the
!. river recedes, which Mr.. Faris
will do. No effort will be made
TO raise them. No other damage
was done about town so far as
could be learned.
A new barn being erected by
-Iae Roper, near Rush Creek, was
demolished, the church at Mt.
4 Hermon was moved from its foun-
: dation, Marshall Rice, near
State Line had his kitchen and
dining room blown away, the
scale shed and several barns at
Woodland Mills were raised to
the ground, the church at Union
was damaged to the extent of an
hundred or more dollars, five to-
baccO barns near Fulton were
= unroofed and the tobacco some

blown away like so much chaff

come reports of great damage
done to town and country, and in
2 one instance in Eastern Kentucky
: an entire village was demolished

Immediately after the full commit
tee convened at O'Clock, Senator
Daniel read the subcommittee draft
Of a platform, which was listed to with
Interest, but in silence.
AS soon as the reading was com
pleted the committee entered upon the
consideration of the tariff plank Inc
change suggested by Bryan was
adopted.
The Bryan plank is shorter, and
more direct than that Of the subcom.
mittee. 1t declares in effect that all
tariff for protection is robbery and al
yocates gradual reduction along
lines that will not disturb business In
terests.
Following are extracts from the plat
form as reported by the subcommit'
tee:
"We favor a liberal trade tre-.ty
with Canada"
"The discoveries of gold within the
past few years and the great increase
in the production thereof, adding two
thousand million dollars to the worlds
supply. of which seven hundred mil
lion falls to the share of the United
States, has contributed to the main
tenance of a money standard of value
no longer open to question, removing
that issue from the field Of political
contention.
"A private monopoly is ihdefensible
and intolerable. We recognize the
right of capital, in all legitimate lines
of enterprise, to combine for the In
fnr
ductive industry and decreasing the
cost of production, but when such
| combination, in it's purpose or effect
creates or tends to create a monopoly
in it's productions, to restrain trade, OF
| to stife competition, to increase COST
| to the consumer, or to control the
market, it violates the spirit OF ou1
| laws. becomes inimical to public vel
| fare and peace, and should be so regu
| lated, controlled or prohibited by law
as to amply protect the public inter
| ests.'
"We denounce the ship subsidy bill
recently passed by the United States
senate as an iniquitous appropriation
of public funds for private purposes
and a wasteful, illogical and useless
attempt to overcome by subsidy the
distractions raised by republican leg
islation to the growth and develop
ment of American commerce on the
sea-"
I'VE demand the determination OF
polygamy within the jurisdiction Of
the United States, and the complete
separation of church and state in poll
! ical affairs"

tim.
Centerville, July S.-Miss Emma
Davidson, an unusually bright and
pretty girl, the daughter of w. r. Da-
wilson, a prominent farmer living four
miles northwest of here, has disap-
peared. No definite knowledge OF her
late can be learned by her nearly
frantic parents. There is reason to
believe that she has been enticed
away from home, and, according to
one report, was seen to take train
IRON Centerville in company with a
strange man.
The girls clothing was discovered
on the banks of the Charlton river,
about mile from the Davidson home.
Careful search has failed to discover
any trace of the girl or her body, and
the hundred or more farmers who
Joined in the hunting expedition have
grown discouraged 1t Is believed
here that the clothes were left on the
bank as blind to give the impression
that the girl had committed suicide.
Either the girls father or friend
will go to St. Louis to make search
for the girl there. According to one
report, the girl had received offers OF
work in that city and it is surmised
chat she may have fallen a victim to
a procurer.
Miss Davidson is about II years OF
lge. She left home last Monday, say
Ing she was going into the woods to
gather some ferns. She has not been
seen by her parents since.

MADE DAREDEVIL ATTEMPT.
Japanese Torpedo Boats Enter Port
Arthur Harbor.

St. Petersburg, July IA few
nights ago Admiral Togo attempted
to repeat the Japanese exploit with
torpedo boats at Wei Hal Wei during
the Chinese-Japanese war by sending
torpe:o boat. destroyers into the har:
Dor of Port Arthur for the purpose OF
sinking ships at their anchorage, but
the attempt resulted in disastrous
failure. Four torpedo boat destroyers
succeeded in creeping into the harbor,
which was not protected by booms,
but only one escaped. Two we're sunk
by the shore batteries and one was
crippled. The reckless bravery OF
the Japanese in going to almost GER
tain destruction excites nothing but
admiration here. The channel at Port
Arthur is SO tortuous and strewn
with wrecks without that evidently it
was regarded as unnecessary to use
a boom. On account of the difficulty
in getting into the harbor the feat is
looked upon in naval circles to be
fully as daring as that Of the Japan
ese at Wei Hal Wei, where the tor
pedo boats, in storm and covered
with ice. were jumped over the booms
protecting the harbor and destroyed
Chinese warships. So far as known
the Japanese torpedo boat destroyers
did not even succeed in launching
torpedOeS.

and just as she drew away, the Norge
went down.
Peter Nelson, one of the survivors,
described as young American SAID:
"For several hours we rowed in COM
pany with the other boats, but the
strong tide drifted us away from the
others, and nothing has been seen
of them since. The Saliva picked us
up and we were well cared for on
board the trawler."
The only hope except for those
known to have escaped is that some
few of the emigrants might have been
washed up on the barren rock Th'lr
chance of'beiHg rescued is almost NIL,
for vessels sailing the north Atlantic
give Rockall as wide berth as pos
sible.
The news of this disaster, which +
is feared il its death record is great
er than any previous tragedy of the
Atlantic, came with the arrival TO-
night of the steam trawler Saliva.
The Saliva had been on fortnight s
cruise around the Hebrides. By
chance, she steamed further west than
is usual for a Grimsby traWler ar1.'
fell in with the survivors of the
Norge, who for twenty-four hours had
been tossed about in a small boat in
the rough waters Of the north At
lantic. The survivors were tai en-
aboerd the Saliva and were landed Al
Grimsby last night.
London, July 5.-Of TIA souls or
board the Danish steamer Norge, l2S
including Captain Gundell, are known

One of the children died in lifeboat
which brought others to safety Fo1

are entertained.
The enormous death roll which wa!
feared at the first news of the wrecl
has been decreased by twelve. Tha
number OF survivors, after many hard
ships, were landed at Stornoway yes
terday.
Vessels are searching in the vicin
ity of Rockhall for any more survivors
The chief hope lies in Captain Gun
del's statement that seven boatload:
got safely away.
No more tragic story of the sea
has ever been known here than tina
of the sinking of the Norge.

survivors of the Inflated Danish
steamer Norge, which foundered OF
Rockhall reef, 290 miles from thu
Scottish mainland, on June %. were
landed at Aberdeen, Scotland, last
night by the steamer trawler Large
