dent took place a few miles west
of Martin last week. Amos
Cooley, aged 35 years, married
and having one child, was run
ming traction engine from one
place to another, and in going
had to cross several bridges. He
had been warned that the bridges
were rotten, and that they were
totally unsafe for the engine to
cross, yet he undertook the job,
with fatal results.
He started out with his engine
and in crossing one of the bridges
after the front wheels had got
over, the planks underneath gave
way and the engine and water
wagon went through together,
catching Mr.. Cooley between
them crushing him and mang-
ling him frightfully. He manag-
ed to extricate himself from the
ruins and crawled to the bank.
He was taken home and died
Sunday, after suffering terribly.
The accident took place just
over the Obion County line, near
Polk Station.

with her. So that man paid her
all expenses to go home, but after
she got home the one school di-
rector telephoned her to come
anyhow. Now we can see that
school director No. didn't care
what the others had said, he
overruled the majority. We all
know the majority generally
rules but in this case it was not
so. But he that pretends to
know the law either ignored the
law or didn't know the law. He
also says only ignorant parents
will do so. That man didn't
mean not to send his children to
school he only meant to save the
crop before it would freeze.
Therefore he wanted to keep his
children at home for couple of
weeks longer, A man of about
IS years needs little help when
there is so much to gather in fall
of the year. Nobody should
object to such a demand it is on
ly contrariness that man has as
good feelings for his children as
school director No. | and any
time as much common sense we
can see plain he is trying to pro-
vide for his children in time.
Our school director ought to re-
member yet what killing frost
we had two years ago about the
l6 of September. We think it
would be better to be more ac-
commodating to each other, not
to try to control and rule every
body and everything. 1t is not
right to call a man ignorant when
one tries to do the best he can to
provide for his children. 1t is
certainly painfully enough for
good man if he cannot send his
children to school in time. We
think something like this should
never be put in newspaper. Mr..
School Directors article in last
weeks Mrs. Grundy was about
like the young students first
speech he had TO make. The
student told his sister in the
morning he has to make aspeech
today. Well whenhe came home
in the evening his sister asked
him what the professor said
about the speech. Well the
professor said, "It was too gasy."
SUBSCRIBER.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1905-09-21

A ruling was made last week
in Washington relative to pa
tent medicines by the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, that
will effect all drug Stores and
will seriously effect number of
patent medicines composed
largely of distilled liquors. He
has reversed a ruling of his de-
partment made many years ago,
and now decides that the manu-
factures of these medicines must
take out license as rectiiiers and
liquor dealers and that druggists
and others handling Them will
have to pay the usual retail liquor
dealers' license.
The Commissioner IN letter
of instruction to collectors of in
ternal revenue says that there
are number of compounds ON
the market going under names
of medicines that are compound
ed chiefly of distilled spirits, with
the addition of drugs or medi-
cines in sufficient quantities to
change materially the character
of the whisky. He authorizes
collectors to impose the special
tax upon manufacturers Of every
compound composed of distilled
spirits, even though drugs are
declared to have been added
thereto "when their presence is
not discoverable bN chemical
analysis or it is found that the
quantity of drugs in tie perpara-
tion is so small as to have no ap-
preciable effect on the liquor" "

Came to Prison Unattended.

A special to the Banner from
Ripley under date of 10th inst.
says: Lauderdale County is en-
titled to the distinction of fur
nishing the only case on record,
perhaps, of a man securing all
necessary papers, buying his
own ticket and boarding the
train unaccompanied by an officer
of the law for the state peniten-
tiary to serve a term of one year.
This happened here to-day, and
the man is W. A. Barfeld, who
was convicted of involuntary
manslaughter at the August term
of Circuit Court and his punish
ment fixed at one year in the
penitentiary. The authorities
knowing him tobe man worthy to
be trusted, and having confidence
that he would surrender~>ko the
proper officers at the state prison,
grated him tlsis privilege. HAs
case has been in the courts for
several years. In October, 1902,
he was first put on trial on a
charge of killing r. H. Ham,
mond and was convicted of mur-
der in the second degree and sem
fenced to twenty years in the
pen. He secured an appeal to
the Supreme court, was granted
a new trial and same was finally
disposed of last month. His case
was looked after by the best le-
gal talent in West Tennessee.
He has many friends here and
over the county who wish for the
best possible treatment in the
state prison, as his health is not
good. His family stands high.

Texas Ticks Found In Carol
County.

DR.. Briggs of Trenton, who is
connected with the State Agri-
cultural Department, has been
in the county the past week
making an inspection of live
stock in search of ticks. In COM
pany with Newt Kirk, he went
over the southeastern part of the
county and reports having found
ticks at several places. The in
spection was made with u view
to changing the live stock quar-
antine line and placing Carol
above said line, which now runs
through Huntingdon and the CEN
tire Of the county. An effort
was made to have all of the
county placed above the line,
but on no recommendation Of
DR.. Briggs, after having found
ticks prevalent, the line will re-
main where it is, and may posi-.
bly, be moved to the extreme
northern line of the county, IN.
less the County Board Of Healtl
takes some action.

was tried Monday before United

How TO WIN SUCCESS,
Governor Douglas of Massachr setta
Gives Advice to Boys.

wives ADVICE TO BOYS.
From a place at the ccbbler's bench
at a mere pittance, William J.. Douglas
mas risen to the highest executive po-
sition in the State of Massachusetts,
that of Governor, and has made him
SER millionaire. His rules and pre-
cepts Of success are given by him
through the Boston Sunday American.
The Governor is interested in boys
ana declares that these rules are given
LOT the benefit of boys. The Governor
says:
Recently, in talking to delegation of
pr!IntIaced boys, | told them that they
shou!u' IN order to make the most of lite,
ooey Inc old maxim, Stick to your last"
II You don't you'll find that old ogre,
called trouble. bobbing up in your path
way every now and then. and you'll
never get to be on speaking terms with
success. Fortune, you know. favors the
brave. In the battle of life the really
brave man is the one with courage
enough 10 stick to his last" in the face
OF early rebuffs and temporary reverses.
lies the fellow who will eventually be
aole TO laugh at trouble and to get chum
my with success. What would you think
or a shoemaker who, after making part
OF shoe on one last, became dissats
ned and started another shoe on a DIFF.
ierent last, keeping up this method until
he mad hnally spent all his money for
STOCK and had nothing but a lot of half
hnlshed shoes to show for it. Foolish
way 10 do, isn't it? But its no more
foolish than for a young man to tackle
n new line of business every little while
until he grows too old to learn any BUSH
ness thoroughly.
Everything in nature is fitted to do one
thing well and spends its whole life do
ing It. You never hear of the ant going
into the honey-making business; nor OF
the bee building ant hills for a change.
Each one knows its place in the world
ana sticks to it, and that is what boys
must do if they would accomplish great
things. Nearly every boy at an early
age displays an aptitude for something.
and II that aptitude is properly deycl-
oped the process of selecting a last IS
simplitied. And remember always to
keep your ambition up to the top notch.
Whatever YOU do, try to do it better
than the other fellow. At school make
it point to stand at the head Of your
class; and at play don't be satisfied until
YOU can jump the farthest or throw the
straightest. Then when you enter bust
ness life this matter of getting ahead
Will become a habit.
Now another thing to think about is
this: Don't try to do what you like-do
what YOU can. That's n good compan-
ion piece for stick TO your last" Don't
let the attraction of something you don't
know lure you away from the thing YOU
do. Do what you can and stick to it.
That's wisdom
