A LITTLE SON
OF Miles Cook, Run Over BY a
Grocery Wagon and Pain
fully Hurt.

Harry, the pretty little year-and-a
half old son of Mr. and Mrs. Miles
Cook, was very painfully hurt Friday
afternoon and had a narrow escape
from being killed. The child was
playing in the street in front of Mr..
Cook s handsome new home on Eighth
street when grocery wagon of Harlan
& Ritter s came along with a lot OF
groceries in it and two men on the
seat. The little one got in front of
the wagon and the driver did not see
the danger until to late and the little
fellow was struck by the wagon and
knocked down. 1t was at first thought
that the wagon had run over him and
broken both legs, but DR.. Pillow was
lily sum moned and found out that
while the child was badly and pain
fully bruised no bones We're broken.
Dr.. Pillow does not think that the
wagon ran over the child, but that he
was knocked down by 1t. 1t is almost
a miracle. however, that he was not
more seriously hurt.

AN OHIO man
Wants to Locate An Incubator
Factory in Columbia.
WHITES TO THE REGISTER.
Asks The People of This City To
Take SIS, 900 Worth of Stock
In Enterprise.
INaUIRINa ABOUT SITE.

Joseph B. Ranny, of Bellefontaine.
ONO, prominent manufacturer of
h at city. is ANXIOUS to start up an
incubator factory in Columbia. He
was here about year ago looking
into the matter and is more convinc ed
than ever that tacory here would be
a paying institution. He already has
a large factory at Bellefontaine and
as there is no incu batoI factory in
the South and there is large and
contantly growing Gle mand for incub-
ators in Southern territory, he feels
sure that a factory here would pay the
stockholders very hand somely on their
investment.
What He Proposes.
He wants to capitalize the com
pany at $25 600. and desires the
people of Columbia to subscribe
for $4,000 worth of stock The
factory, when in operation, would
employ number of hands and would
unquestionably be good thing for the
town. Mr.. Ranny writes to ascertain
if the planning mill property here can
be purchased. it being his idea to use
it as site for the proposed factory.
He evidently did not know that Mr..
Lamb had sold the property and that
it is in other hands and not available
for his factory site. This need net
interfere with his plans, however, as
there would be no trouble in securing
a suitable site elsewhere.
May Come Here Again.
He wrote Mr. T. E. Lipscomb, the
Register ar asks him to talk the matter
up among our business men and if they
take any interest, in it, he will come
Columbia again to see what can
be done. 1t seems that Mr.. Ranny
has decided TO locate factory some
where in the South and is favorably |
with Columbia as location.
rhe business and monied men of |
he city, ought at least look into the
natter and get a definite proposition
rom Mr.. Ranny and learn the true
tatus of affairs. Columbia needs
more manufacturing enterprises and
will never grow to consi derable pro-
portions until she gets them.

The ZION PARTY
To Worlds FAIR Have Narrow Escape
From FrightfuI Head-On
Collision.

The party who went from Zion and
this city in special coach last Tues
dav week to the World S Fair had very
narrow escape from being caught in
a headon collision between two pas
senger trains. They were on the l.. d
N, not faI from Evansville, when
another train appeared in front of
them. The engineer of their tram
reversed his engine and brought the
train to stand-stlll as quickly as
possible. The same thing was hap
pening on the other train at the same
time, which was coming meeting the
Zion train on the same track. When
the two trains were brought to stop
the two big engines were not more
than thirty feet apart. The danger
was so imminent that the fireman OF
one of the trains jumped from the
ngine to avoid the crash which seemed
inevitable at the time. The Maury
county people, however, did rot have
time to he scared, for they did not
know of the situation until the trains
were stopped and the danger averted.
