FIREMAN FA-
TALLY INJURED
Man Named Byers From Nashville,
Gets His Skull Broken In The
Local Yards.

An L. & N fireman named Byers,
whose home is in Nashville, was dan
gerously and probably fatally injured
in the north yards Tuesday afternoon.
Byers was new man on the road
and this is said to have been his first
run. On reaching Columbia the en-
CINE stopped to take water and Byers
went out on the coal tender to turn
the water crane. While no one saw
the accident, 1t is supposed that the
coal slipped and that Byers, losing his
footing, fell and landed on top of his
head. He was found a few minutes
later in an unconscious condition ana
DR.. Pillow was summoned. 1t devel-
oped that the young mans skull was
fractured around the base, one OF the
most dangerous fractures the doctors
have to treat. After treatment, the
man was sent To his home in Nashville

RAILROAD MANS PRAYER,

The following is the text of rail

mans side of the switch engine in the
Northern Pacific yards in Spokane:
Now that l have tagged thee, lift
up my feet from the rough road of life
and plant them safely on the deck of
the train of salvation. Let me use the
safety lamp of prudence, make all the
couplings with the link of love, and let
my hand lamp be the Bible, and keep
all switches closed that lead off the
main line into the sidings with blind
ends. Have every semaphore block
along the line show the white light of
hope, that I may make the run of life
without stopping. Give me the Ten
Commandments as working card,
and when I have finished the run on
schedule time and pulled into the ter
minal, may thou, superintendent of
the universe, say: well done, good
and faithful servant; come into the
general Office to sign the payroll and
receive your check for eternal happi-
ness"

PUBLIC SENTIMENT AND POLITICS

Politicians have ears more keenly
attuned to the cry of public sentiment
than any class of men in any other
walk or business in life; and public
sentiment makes and enforces all
laws. Few laws are enacted without
the compelling force of public senti-
ment behind Them and no law can be
enforced against the decree of public
sentiment. 1t is hopeful sign of bet
ter conditions, therefore, when both
the old political parties of a great
State, in convention assembled, de-
clare that drunkenness is a crime, and
that certain temperance laws have
been productive of good, in decreas-
ing drunkenness, vice and crime"
The Democratic platform says this,
and so does the Republican platform.
The first named, we regret to say, be-
clouds it's meaning somewhat with
some ambiguity, injected to please
the peculiar ideas of the nominee, no
doubt. But the Republican platform
hits straight from the shoulder, and
reads as follows:
I'VE expressly indorse the four-mile
law and the amendments thereto now
on the statute books of the State as
having decreased drunkenness, vice
and crime, and we oppose any step

I The Herald is a Democrat. We are
supporting and We intend to support
1.-THE Democratic nominees all down the
line, from top to bottom. We believe
the Democratic party represents large
lily the white mans party in Tennessee,
and we are for a white mans govern
ment. We are opposed to Henry Clay
Evans because of his Force Bill record,
and because we believe he would COM
NIT that objectionable sin again If he
had a chance, and that he would take
delight in seeing federal deputies-and
negro deputies at that-stand guard
over the voting booths in Ten
nessee. We are out and out
opposed to Mr.. Evans. We
are so much opposed to him that we
shall not fail to warm Mr.. Patterson
and his special friends that there is
great danger of Mr.. Evans election,
unless something is done to bring the
bone and sinew of the Democratic
party to the polls. The party lash has
lost its power; the yellow-dog-demo-
crat breed has about played out; the
voters of both the old parties wear
their party robes loosely: and there
are some things that used to be done
that cannot be done now; and one of
these things is this: The same party
or politician cannot capture the tenn
perance and the whiskey vote in the
same election. Both the old parties
were wont to carry jug on one Shout
the other. And it is surprising how
long they worked that But they can
not work it any longer. The whiskey
dealers are fighting for their lives, and
the temperance men for their princi-
pies, and in this good year we believe
they will fight to the knife and the
knife to the hilt. We believe the anti
Saloon and anti-Gambling party will
win. The Republicans are making a
strong bid for this vote. If |
they get it, Mr.. Evans will be the enxt |
Governor. And they will get it unless
the Democratic nominee and the party |
managers wake up to the danger that |
cOnfronts them, and move forward |
along more progressive lines for tenn
perance and reform.

NEGROES NOT
DROWNED

1t was reported around town Tuesday
morning that Will Walton and Charlie
Rodgers, two negro pearl hunters, had
been drowned in Duck river not far
from Goodwin, but the report proved
erroneous as the negroes later APP
perade very much alive. The negroes
have a habit of leaving their clothes
on the river bank and following the
river several miles down in search of
pearls. The finding of the clothes by
some passers by and the fact that the
negroes failed to appear for several
hours led to the report.

Gov Cox is anxious for a reformatory
for youthful criminals. BY all means
the state should establish one. The
present system of punishment for
youthful criminals, is sin and a
shame upon the christian citizenship
ofTennessee. There should also be es-
tablished, a state reformatory for fall
len women. Instead of condemning to
hell forever young girl who
when tempted and lied to and
deceived by devil in hui
man form may go astray, the State
should take her from bad environ
ments, shield her from temptation, and
give her another chance. What we
need In Tennessee is practical legisla-
ton to save boys and girls from be-
coming criminals, rather than to wait
and punish them when, because of ig-
norance and bad environments. many
Of them have been more "sinned
against than SHINING" Why not start

for youthful criminals and
allen women. Why not?

than this: Whatsoever We SOW, that
shall We also reap" And it is truer of
the social sin than of all else. A man
may get drunk once or twice or a
dozen times, and sober up and be a
man again. He may gamble for lit
tie while, and if he is strong willed
and there comes into his life the infiu-
ence of a sweet, good woman, he may
resist and overcome the fever for
gambling and be whole and strong.
But when a man or boy goes to the
house of the scarlet woman, he takes
his character his health, his life, and
the future of his unborn children into
his own hands The unspeakable price
that many a man has paid in torture
of soul and mind and body, for one
night of wanton pleasure, makes the
blood run cold to contemplate it. And
this information comes not from the
excited brain of a Jealous preacher; it
| is the testimony of all the physicians,
and the statistics, frightful and alarm
ing, may be found in any or the medi-
cal magazines. For a year or more,
one of the leading and best informed
that the Herald should discuss this
question through its columns, and Of
fered to furnish us with the facts and
figures from his magazines. He has
told us how this sin robs men of their
ambition, their vitality, their health
and life; of how pure women and the
babe in the cradle, are its innocent
victims; he has told us what a large
per cent of the blindness of the world
is directly traceable to it; how much
of twisted and deformed humanity; of
it's sore bodies and its idiot minds;
he has told us what he has seen in the
hospitals, what he has met in his prac-
tice what he has read from his maya
zines, until we have turned from it
heart sick and in horror. And yet,
and yet, and yet, the men of Columbia;
those who support it's schools, pay its
taxes, manage its affairs; the men who
own Columbia and can control and do
with it as they please, sit supinely
down and allow this contagion to take
hold of their weaker brothers and to
be spread broadcast into the homes of
Columbia. This leprosy of the social
sin has spread so generally through
society, we are told that few men and
can know that the blood of
their unborn child will be pure. For

Mexico City, Oct. 10.-Recent floods
in the southern part of the state Of
Jalisco and in the state Of Colima have
resulted in great destruction of prop
erty and loss of life. The number Of
fatalities from drowning along the line
of the Manzanillo extension Of the
Mexican Central railway Is 1923.
Thousands of tons Of earth and
rocks descended in great landslides
from the mountains. The new steel
railway bridge below Tuxpan was de-
stroyed and a steam SHOVEL weighing
26 tons was borne by the torrent for
a considerable distance. In one place
the water rose sixty feet Many houses
were destroyed by floods In the towns
Of Tuxpan and Zapollillic. Twenty
five lives were lost during the recent
floods in the Santiago river. Is were
drowned by the capsizng of boat
while crossing the river. All were ma
tives. It has been some time since
there were such tremendous floods in
the west coast.

Rebels and Jews,

Odessa, Oct. 10.-President Dubro-
vim, Of the Union Of Russian People,
made remarkable address here
Tuesday. He spoke to q band Of 300
armed members Of the Union who
had carried him on their shoulders
to the railroad station on his depar-
ture for Kiev, and said:
I'm the name of your beloved en-
peror l bless you. The holy Russian
cause is the determination Of rebels.
You know who they are and where to
find them. Clear the Russian soil OF
them. The Russian people want
neither constitutions nor parliaments,
but orthodoxy and autocracy. Go
ahead, brothers; death to the rebels
and Jews"
After his train had left the band
Of 300 rushed down the principal
streets shouting: Death to the reb-
els, death to the Jews"
All shops were at once closed and
the Jewish population was in a con-
dition Of panic and terror through
out the night. Measures taken by
the project, however, prevented fur
