AUTOS BARRED.

Bath county. Va, has practically
excluded automobiles from within it's
territorial lines. We learn that these
machines are allowed to pass through
the county, but not to stop-that is
they cannot remain more than "a hours
within the lines of that county. The
traction engine, the bicy cle, the four
in-hand, the tallyho, the bobtailed
horse, the hatless dude, the red blOus.
ed golf player, the millionaire, and
many other terrifying objects are per
mitted. but as for the autO in has no
place in Bath. There is talk of test
ing the soundness of this order. just
why man may own a traction engine
and operate it on the highways within
that county as long as he pleases, and
when he pleases, and may not own an
auto has not been fully decided on.
The growing demand for autos, their
increasing usefulness, and as matters
OF luxury, leads to enquiry as to the
right of the people OF that county to
own and operate them under REASON.
ABLE restrictiOns-enqulr which will
sooner or later make test question as
to the inherent right to own anv
species of property not prohibited by
the constitution. We are roId that if
Bath county admitted their use to an
unlimited degree there would be SO
many of them in and around the Hot
and adjacent springs, as to practically
bar the ordinary road horse from his
every day avocation, 1t looks a little
Inconsistent to bar the auto and let in
the Dude. Our notice of this incon-
slstency and enquiry into the previs-
ions OF the act is merely academic. We
have never sought to turn our auto in
the direction of Bath, or thus violate
Its order.

THE SORROWS OF POOR HARRY

Some confederation WAS caused In
New York society last week when it
was learned that Harry Thlw, who is
now in the Tomhs prison for murder
ing Stanford White, had qnarreled
v It'll his caterer. T - Was construed
to IN an that Harry s mnal4 were be
low standard. and biz friends sent cart
Ia ,ds of food AID knives, forks and
spoons In that prison there are Ger
tain rnles said To be enforced in the
cases of prisoners placed there for
murder These prisoners are not al
lowed knives and forks. Harry liz said
not to understand the use Of chop sticks
SO WAS Obliged to go hack to ancestral
DAYS and use his fingers. How great
humiliation. Harry objected to this
of OuIse. He also objected to various
dishes. The steaks We're not as thick
nor as tender As he wished them to be,
nor have the bills of fare been as
snmptuons as Harry liked. 1t is hard
enough on Young spendthrifts, no
goods, and moral idiots, to be deprived
of liberty, but to be deprived of those
delicacies which their paiates alone
crave and which have been invented
for them personally, is cruel and unu
sual punishment.

C0nyiGts Expected to Work ChurchyIIIe
Road.

The visit of MIR. &. Il. Harris tC
Richmond last week TO see Commits.
siOner T. st. q. w ilson of the Virgin.
ia Highways, promises well. Mr.. Viii.
son accepted his urgent invitation to
visit Augusta, and spent the day Tues
day driving with Mr.. Harris over the
Churchville road out to Lone Foun-
tain. The commissioner says he does
not think there is a more important
road needing improvement, in the
State. He saw it when the country "a
famously fine one, looked it's best, and
the road, muddy from the recent rains
showed up badly. He will undertake
to secure, for the work upon it, large
force of convicts. With the aid of the
people along the thoroughfare and the
Board of Supervisors. which has been
so much talked about, it is hoped that
the whole road can be macadamized
even to the Warm Springs pike nlti-
mately. BY this plnn, involving the
use of convict labor, the much needed
road can be built more cheapIy than
by any estimate yet made. The enter
prisiGg farmers along the road will
hardly let the opportunity pass.

THE LESSON OF The Nurse SHOW.


The Horse Show of last week may
not have been financial success, We
do not knOw-we hope it was-but it
was a magnificent show and ought to
have put some money in the pockets of
those who worked SO assiduOusiy in its
behalf. But for the energy and push
of the young men who have taken
hold of it and enlivened a dead fair
ground, and given life to an enterprise
which without them would never have
been born, the summer would have
passed in dull lethargy. The citizens of
StauntOn and Augusta county ought
to be duly thankful to them, there has
been much done for both-hundreds, if
not thousands. have been brought to
the county by these shows who would
never have come, and obtained an OPP
pOrtunity Other wise impossible of see
ing who We are and what we are.
There is said to have been half a mil
lion dollars worth of horses here.
There may have been. In the eyes of
their owners these horses may have
been even more valuable than that, in.
deed some of their horses may have
been like the Arabian courser, price
less in the estimation of his owner.
From an educational point, from the
point of enjoyment of those who at
tended the show. it was great sue
cess. From a financial point it may
not have been; We have never enquir-
ed. but We hope it has been, because it
deserved to be.

BROKEN AND SWINGING CAR STEPS
DASH YOUNG HARLOW TO HIS DEATH
| VACANT PASTORATE- personal
MENTION, ETC.
Augusta Springs. Aug. 16 "A shock
ing and fatal accident occurred here
last Thursday night, by which Frank
Harlow, young man of 20 years, was
instantly killed. He was walking down
the railroad track and when in front of
his home was Overtaken by the fast
Washington train No. 1. He stepped
oil the track and stood on the edge of
The ill, some seven feet from the rail.
but was struck by the broken steps of
passenger car that swung out from
the car as the train lurched at the
curve, and was instantly killed. The
young man was hurled to the ground
~ feet from where he stood and the
broken steps and heavy metal castings
were found down this side of the EN-
| bankment few feet further on. When
| the accident occurred the father of the
unfortunate young man was standing
In the door of his home, but a few
yards distant, and looking at the train
which did the fatal work, as it thun-
dered by-hOwever dark ness prevented
bis witnessing the awful sight. The
circumstances of the killing are as
follows: Young Harlow and his sister
had just returned from StauntOn on
train No. 3, where they with MANY
others Of this neighbOrhoOd attended
the Robinson circus. At the station
here they were met by their father, Mr..
A. M. Harlow, who started with them
home down the railroad track. Frank
was called back by a friend, but told
his father to go ahead and that be would
overtake them in a few minutes. The
Harlows live just beyond the tannery
and close to the railroad track-at the
foot of steep fill. When almost In
front of his home the young man heard
the approach of No. l, and stepped
from the track, as he thought to a |
place of safety, on the edge of the fill,
feet from the outside rail- After the |
train had passed. a man with lantern |
walking along the track, discovered |
the body and notified the paren rs, who |
there might be some remain. |
Ing spark of life, hastily summoned |
Dr. A. Lee PattesOn of this place. On
the doctor found that life
had been extinct from the moment of
the blow, which had broken the neck
and shattered the right shoulder of the
young man. A cOrOner's inquest was
deemed unnecessary, and the body was
buried in the cemetery at Craigsville
the following day, a funeral service
having been previously conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Bailey in the Presbyterian
church at that place.
Anoth. accident, no less distressingl
occurred last week at the home of Mr..
e. PattesOn, when his aged
aunt, Miss Sarah E. Warden, overcome
by vertigo, fell heavily to the floor,
striking her head on the sharp edge of
trunk. The wound was deep and
dangerous one, from which she lay
