The Pifty-ffth General Assembly of
Tennessee Breaks the Record

Six hundred new laws were added
to the statutes of Tennessee as re-
suit of the labors OF the Fifty-tfth
General Assembly This exceeds the
record OF all previous General Assem-
blies, excepting the Fifty-third, which
sat four years ago. That body passed
Sol acts. But for the liberal use Of
the veto power by the Governor, the
acts this year would have exceeded in
number those of 1908. AS 1t is the
volume this year will be much larger
than that of 1908, the largest to this
date in the history of the State.
Two years ago the acts contained
543 chapters. In 1901 the volume con-
tanned 497 laws. and less during al
most every preceding Assembly.
More laws originated in the House,
but In general laws of great lmpor-
lance a majority are Senate bills. The
proportion of local or private acts is
exceptionally large and would have
been larger but for the passage Of the
General Education Bill.
The general laws are as follows:
W Pendleton law, extending four-mile
Ndw to towns of 10000 population.

AcCmENTALLY KILLED,
g. n. Sampson Fires His Gun sAcci-
dentally and Load Takes Effect.
(Anderson Mail, 19th.)

h A NEST distressing accidental KILL
ing occurred on Allen Martins plan
tation, near this city, on Saturday
morning. Ernest Snipes, colored
man of 80 years, was killed by Geo.
e. Sampson, gentleman OF Hinton,
West Virginia, Swho with bride or
several days, is visiting his aunt,
Mrs VIM. Sheib, on East Orr street.
Mr., Sampson arrived In the city
several days ago to spend part Of his
honeymoon here. He is quite fond
of hunting, and while out walking
on Mr.: Martins place Friday after
where the Snipcs family live. He
got into conversation with Snipes,
the father of Ernest Snipes, about
partridge shooting aud Sa.pas .nvited
him to return Saturday morning,
and told him that he would not only
allow Mr.. Sampson to hunt on his
premises, but that his son, Ernest
Snipes, would accompany him in or
der to locate the birds.
Early Saturday morning Mr., Samp-
son and Master William Sheib left
for the Snipes house. They found
Ernest Snipes and started out hunt
ing.
Soon after going short distance
the dogs found a covey of birds.
Messrs. Sampson and Sheib got IN
position to shoot as the birds were
flushed. Phe negro happened to
walk in front of Mr. Sampson, and
Mr.. SIMPSONS gun fired. The trig-
ger had caught on his leg.
The negro was only about two or
three feet in front of the muzzle of
the gun and the entire load took eff
feet in his left leg, little above
his knee. The bone was shattered
and the arteries were cut and blood
flowed profusely.
Mr.. Sampson immediately saw that
the accident was fatal one and he
tried to stop the blood by putting
some clamps, which he had, around
the negro's leg. This had no effect
in stopping the blood, so the negro
was picked up in Mr.. Sampson's IS
overCoat and carried to Snipes's
home. Mr.. Sampson then telephored
to the city for doctor. The darkey
died about two and a half hours af-
ter the shooting.
Coroner Pruitt empanelled jury
and this jury rendered verdict in
effect that Ernest Snipes came to his
death from the accidental discharge
of gur iii the hands of George e
Sampson.
Mr. Sampson deplores the accident
more than words can tell. IIe left
considerable money with the wife OF
the dead negro and told her that he
would pay all the expenses Of the
burial, etc. He is terribly distressed
and the pleasure of his bridal trip has
been greatly marred by the accident
