ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
Lived Only -Four Hours After Arm WAS
Amputatsd-- Same Old Story.

William L. Baker. sixteen years Of
age, son of Rowe Baker, miner
of the Frances vicinity, accidentally
shot himself Friday afternoon while
out hunting squirrels, the load tax
ing effect in his left arm and lacera-
ting it so badly that amputation was
necessary. He bled profusely and
was in a weak and exhausted coudi-
ton when the physician arrived.
DIR. A. j. Driskell, Of this city;
DR.. o. c. Cook of Crayneyille; and
DR.. j. W. Graves of Dycusburg we're
hastily summoned, and after con-
sultation decided that there was no
hope without amputation of the arm,
and very little chance for the wound
ed boy to recover at all. He was shot
at o'clack in the afternoon. The
arm was amputated at $50 o'clock
He lived until !: 80 Saturday morn
ing, less that 10 hours after the ia
tai shot. This is only another in
stance of the careless handling Of a
yun. 1t seems that boys will never
earn tibet guns are dangerous. The
amily have the sympathies of all the
community, as the boy was a general
avorite and a fine little man. The
burial was at Dycusburg Saturday af-
ernoon.

At the C. P. Church Last Sunday Largely
Attended-ih interesting Service

A good congregation assembled a,

Old Folks Day. A number of elder
ly people were there at an early hour
appreciatIve of the feet that the SER
vices would be held chiefly for their
encouragement. Quite a number
from the country were present to take
part in the services. The songs were
from the old Southern Harmony.
that book from which our fathers aud
mothers and many now living learned
to sing the gospel. They were sung
with the old time spirit, and you
could see the tears running down the
cheeks of men and women as their
hearts were touched by these simple
melodies. The services were con-
Quoted in the old fashioned way, re-
lining the hymn before the sermon,
and yet the Holy Spirit seemed to
put his stamp and seal upon the SER
vice from the very first song. A short
sermon was preached by the pastor
IN the good that old people can do.
The service was then turned over to
he congregation, and impressive
alks were made by W. j. Hill, W.
4. Adams, X. +. Canaan, Rev. j.
R. Lamb, r. VI. Franks, j. b. Kevil.
John Montgomery, Mrs. W. j. Hill
md others.
A hearty shake was enjoyed
~ all in which the power of God was
demonstrated in the happifying Of
many hearts and tears and hand
shakes and love and JOY blended all
n the happy bonds of love. The
pastor wishes to acknowledge his in
lebtedness TO Bro. T. L. Walker and
Bro. Billy Joel Hill and wife for the
blessings which they brought to the
leryice.

To Develop Mediums.

Whenever the subject Of spiritUalism
comes under public discussion it is likely
to be made the subject of ridicule. and
there will, doubtless, be lots Of fun made
out Of the recent demand by the Society
for PsychicaI Research for an endowment
Of g. COO 600 for the development of seven
mediums which the society has discovered.
But before one laughs it would be well
to consider just what has been asked and
for what purpose The reason that spirit
uallsm has become sort of a standing
Joke is because the psychic phenomena
which are the basis of spirtualism lent
themselves so admirably To fraud that the
fakes" have reaped a rich harvest from
the credulous But because there has
been much fraud ia this connection is by
no means sufficient reason for putting the
whole subject aside as worthless
The Society for PsychicaI Research is
not a body OF 'cranks," or men easily de-
luded, or men hampered by any supersti-
tious predictions in favor Of spiritualism.
1t is. on the contrary. a body Of scientific
men; men who have held or who still
hold high positions in the world of real
science; men like Prof. William James,
of Harvard, and Prof James H. Hyslop,
formerly Of Columbia University.
Calmly and as dfsinterestedly as pro-
fessors of astronomy would set about ex-
aiming a new planet, or scientific botanists
would analyze a new species of plant, OF

members Of Congress who are unwilling
to 80 al the way with the advocates of
the pending ship-subsidy bill That meas
ure. should it receive the approval of
Congress. would mark a radical departure
from our original policy of encouraging
domestic industry. by authorizing direct
payments from the Treasury to a favored
industry. instead of the indirect aid now
afforded by the imposition of high tariffs
It is not strange that many members Of
the Lower House should hesitate 10 COM
NIT themselves to so remarkable an ex-
tension Of the protective principle, and
the caution with which they are con-
sideTing il is significant OF a most COM
mendable purpose TO arrive. If possible. at
a wise and just conclusion respecting it.
The objections raised to d general ship
subsidy bill, however. do not apply TO
postal subsidies, which stand upon a diff
ferent footing, and may be granted with
out further extension of the protective
policy and without heavy draft upon the
Treasury.
In their consideration of the question
Of trade expansion, our legislators should
not lose sight of the necessity of remov-
ing some Of the artificial obstacles to
trade set up by tariff legislation. Useless
to subsidize steamship lines If we inter-
pose prohibitive tariff duties between pro-
ducer and consumer and attempt to re-
strict the normal interchange Of COM

Because the President always gets a

Because we have a holiday the day

Because the Presidents party won
