SAD ACCIDENT.

About two weeks ago the young
son of Mr.. Louis Roy of Parks
Charles, failed to return from
school with his little brothers and
sisters; the parents inquired for
the boy and learned that he had
not been to school. Mr.. Roy i'm.
medlately began to look for the
missing boy and found him near
the stable, unconscious, with the
brow crushed in and full of blood
MIR. Roy thought the boy dead,
but he gave signs of life and some
time after recovered consciousness.
The skull was badly crushed from
the Kick of a horse, an operation
was performed and the pieces of
crushed bones we're removed. but
the wound was fatal one and the
boy died two or three days after
the operation. The boy was aged
8 years and rs days. The funeral
service was held at the Catholic
Church here at ten o'clock Wed.
nesday morning, and the little b.
dy was laid to rest in the Old
Bridge cemetery, near Parks.

All Saints Day.

This day is entirely devoted to
the dead and it seems that it is a
sacred obligation for every one to
visit the cemetery and give some
attention to the place, there, which
contains the remains of some dear
ones. Many are the tombs, the
graves, that are given some atten.
ton by those living, and many are
those who are entirely forgotten,
or whose relatives and friends, like
them. have gone to the other
world, and whose tombs and graves
are abandoned and are falling to
ruin. by reading the inscriptions
OIL the old stones blackened by the
hand OF time, the present genera
ton will occasionally find some
names sometimes mentioned by
our older citizens, while other
nance seem entirely unknown, as
the families Of those buried in the
old cemetery have long disappear
ed from this community. and it
makes ones heart feel sad on this
occasion tn see the old ruins and
to know that no one is left to place
upon their. forgotten graves, QUO
flower, one token Of remembrance:
they are gone, they are forgotten,
and in the space of II short time
even their monuments will disap-
pear. And what is happening to
the forgotten ONES today, will
some time be the fate of those
who are we'll cared for at this
time, when the dear ones will be
gone. they will also be forgotten,
and even their last resting place
will disappear.
1t is a beautiful custom 10 once
a year pay tribute to the dead and
to give attention to their resting
place by those who loved them.

THE AMENDMENTS.

There has been some discussion
of the several amendments pro-
posed to the State Constitution
- which will be voted Oh November
9th.
We cannot see any serious OBJ
jections to the amendments except
the one to increase the salary of
the Attorney General. .ho is now
getting $4,000 and which the pro-
posed amendment wants to in
crease to $1,000. We believe that
no state Office should pay more
than $4,000. The District Judges
are getting $1,000 and they seem
glad to-. get that, some of them
make pretty hard campaigns to get
that Office, and We believe many of
our good lawyers would be glad to
get the AttorDeyship at the present
salary of $4,000. Compare the sa-
larry of al Office man at $1,000 and
the ordinary citizen, who some
times finds it hard to be able to
pay his taxes, which money goes
to pay fancy salaries to public Off
Gals. That amendment should be
voted down, keep the salaries of
public officials within reasonable
limits.
We are also opposed to the ju-
dietary amendment. Our Judicial
ry. is already an expensive one; at
the last session of the Legislature
the salaries of the Judges of the
Supreme Court were increased
from $1,000 to $1,000, with increa-

reason we are opposed to the Cir

much preferable to keep the sala-
ries down and add two or three

Instead of creating the Circuit
Court to give fat jobs to a few

The amendment taxing church

ENORMOUS RAILROAD EARNINGS.

In making his formal written
report on the Hepburn rate bill,
which he was directed to make by
the Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce, Senator TilIman. of
South Carolina, said:
Gross annual earnings of rail-
roads, in round numbers are two
thousand million dollars. Their
net earnings are seven hundred
million dollars. 1t will thus be
seen that once year every dollar
in circulation in the United States
passed through the hands of rail-
roads, while once in three years,
every dollar in the United States
becomes part of their net earnings
and their net earnings equal in
amount annually the entire expen-
ditures of the United States gov
eminent. 1t is a small wonder
that with such princely revenues
the most brilliant legal minds of
the country are at their command
to conduct legislation, frame laws
and secure their passage through
Legislature and congress, and to
exercise such an overmastering in
tiuence over judiciary and execu-
tive departments, both of States
and nation that the average citizen
is almost driven to. believe that the
fight is hopeless and that the
government, instead of controlling
railroads is controlled by them,
that liberties of people, to say
nothing of their rights, is in
jeopardy"
