BADLY BURNED.
Gasoline Can Explodes, Injuring Two
Men

Two men who were employed at one OF
the brick yards at Brick Haven. Va. were
severely injured in a fire this morning
about $3.50 o'clock. one of them, Edward
Nj. Redman. white. forty-hve years of age.
was burned over his entire body and about
his head, and was in a critical condition
when he reached the Emergency Hospital
in a wagon. Wiley Gaines colored. the
other injured man. was burned about his
foot. He was brought to the city on a
street car and was taken to the hospital.
Gaines did what he could to relieve Red
man and assisted in caring for him until
the latter was placed in a wagon. to be
brought to the hospital Gaines then
boarded an electric car and came TO the
city
The fire, 1t is reported, occurred in the
home OF the colored man. He was making
fire, and the green wood he was burning
caused a delay In his preparations for
breakfast. Redman said he could assist
him, and he made an effort to do so by
throwing a small can of gasoline upon the
fire. When Redman reached the hospital
the physicians examined him and expressed
the belief that he could not recover.
The home of the colored man caught fire,
but the blaze was sextinguished before any
damage had been caused.

Our worthy and efficient Register,
Mr.. Calvin NJ Sanders, whose term
of Office expires in September, an
nounces this week that he will not
be candidate to succeed himself
at the August election. Mr.. San
ders recognizes the fact and states
il briefly and Enthusiastically that
the election of Mr.. Chapel would
harmonic fully with his ideas of
justice. After the death of p. H.
Owen, who was the party nominee
for the office and whose election
was only matter of few weeks
time, Mr.. Sanders was not slow in
reaching this conclusion, since Mr..
Chapel was close second in the
primary, receiving with the excep-
tion of Mr.. Owen larger vote than
either of his opponents. 1t is con-
coded unanimously that Mr.. San
ders has made one of the best reg
listers the county ever had, and the
magnanimity of spirit he has shown
in this matter will commend itself
to every fair-minded person. Mr..
Sanders is an honorable gentleman,
and while he has many warm, per-
sonal friends who insist upon him
entering another contest in the Au-
gust election, his action shows con-
clusively that he prefers the course
which will admit of no doubtful
conception of right and Justice.

Political Notes.

No appointment OF members OF
the Democratic State Committee
from the State at large was made
Saturday By Horace E. Palmer,
permanent chairman of the recent
State convention, as had been ex-
pected. These appointments will
not be made before next Saturday
and it is by no means certain that
they will be made on that date. In
accordance with the announcement
heretofore made. Gen. Patterson,
Mr.. Palmer and several other lead
ers held a conference here Saturday
for the purpose of considering the
appointments. but owing to the tact
that Gen. Patterson's wife has been
sick ever since the adjournment of
the convention, the nominee has
had no opportunity to consider the
matter, therefore it was decided to
postpone the appointments.
Next Saturday there will be an
other conference between Gen. Pat
terson, Mr.. Palmer and other lead
ers, but it is not certain that the
appointments will be made on that
day. In discussing the matter Sat
urday night before leaving for his
home at Murfreesboro Mr.. Palmer
stated that there was no particular
hurry about making the appoint
ments and it was deemed best to
give the matter thorough consider
alton. He stated that owing to the
illness of Gen. Patterson's wife the
candidate had not been able to give
a moments thought to the compo-
sition of the committee and all had
agreed upon postponement. Mr..
Palmer would not intimate who
would compose the committee.
1t was learned Saturday on relia-
BILE authority that Judge Bancroft
Murray, of Chattanooga, who so
successfully managed Gen. Patter-
sons fight on the floor of the con-
vention, would certainly be one of
the members of the committee. 1t
is believed that Henry B. Morrow,
of this county, who directed Gen.
Patterson's campaign, will also be
a member, but further than these
two no reliable information could
be obtained as to the probable per-
sonnel Of t h e committee. Mr..
Palmer stated that it was altogeth-
er probable that just as soon as the
are announced b e
would issue call for a meeting of
the full committee for the purpose
of effecting an organization
1t is probable that the actual
campaign will not begin any earlier
than it did two years ago, but be-
tween now and this time there will
be good deal of preliminary de-
tails of organizing the party to be
attended to. Two years ago the
was opened at Jackson
on Sept. S, and a date near that
time will i n all probability be
agreed upon this year. American.
