Contest Case Dismissed.

Tuesday last was the date set for
hearing the evidence in the contested
urinary election held at Rice pre-
cinct. it being alleged on the part of
W. H. Hubbard, candidate for the
nomination for supervisor, that his
opponent. r. II. Walton. who receiv-
cd the majority Of votes, was not the
legal Democratic nominee from the
fact that a number Of irregularities
were permitted in the primary.
MI Hubbard through his attorney,
Judge A. d. Watkins, had filed no
tice of contest within the time pre-
scribed by the election law, which Is
not more than ten days after the
primary, but failing TO have his petit
ton signed by at least fifteen pelsons,
the defendant, X. II Walton, through
his counsel, Col. f. w. HUBBARD, moved
that the case be dismissed, which was
promptly done. The merits Of the
case were not gone into az it was sur
dcient ground for dismissal that the
charges were not properly brought
before the trial committee The mat
ter was brought before the County
Democratic Committee, Chairman +.

Soda fountain Tank Explosion.

Wednesday night while the soda
water tank at Anderson's drug store
was being charged, control Of the gas
tube was lost, and an explosion oc-
Cured which came near proving most
serious. When 1t was ascertained
that the gas had reached point be-
yond control Dystanders were warn
ed Of the impending danger, and every
one nearby moved quickly TO distances
Of safety The explosion came few
seconds afterwards, and the conclusion
was beard for blocks. The floor
was broken beneath the tank, and a
large piece Of the copper driven into
the ceiling above The telephone, To-
Gated nearby, WAS badly damaged,
goods shaken from the shelves and "a
genuine scare given those who ner-
vously awaited results after finding
there WAS no possible way Of averting

THR HOMB CIRCLE COLUMN.

"some women are always on the 90
is the extravagant remark one often
hears and il not always the express
ion OF envy. Strange to say, these are
those who think women do too much
travelling Bless our souls, they don't
DO half enough. The woman whose
world is lu the four corners Of her
house, even though she be intellectual
ly above the average and surrounded
by evidences Of wealth and fine taste,
is necessarily more narrow minded
and Digoted than her sister whose
mental vision has expanded under the
influence Of new scenes and balmier
skies, free from mental perplexities or
drudgerles She who has been "on
the go occasionally is the better
mother, the more intelligent helpmeet
and the sweetest companion.

Table Talk.

You will find that great deal Of
character is impaired and received at
the table. Parents too often forget
this. and therefore instead Of swallow
ing your food in sullen silence; instead
Of brooding over your business instead
Of severely talking about others, let
the conversation at the table be gen
ial. kind. social and cheering Don't
bring disagreeable things to the table
I'M your conversation any more than
YOU would in your dishes. For this
reason. too, the more good company
you have at your table, the better for
your children. Every conversation
with company at the table is an edu-
cation TO the family. Hence the intel
ligence and the refinement and appro-
pirate behavior Of a family which Is
given TO hospitality Never feel that
intelligent visitors can be anything but
a blessing to you and yours. How
few have gotten hold Of the fact that
company and conversation at the ia
BILE are no small part Of education.

Horrible Death Of Small Boy.

Lacy Coles, small colored boy
probably ten years Of age, met a nor
rible death last Wednesday afternoon
in front Of the electric light plant A
car Of coal had just been unloaded for
the plant. and the little boy had
climbed over into the gondola and was
sitting on the iron cross-beam with
his feet dangling The bottom doors
to the gondola had not been closed,
but were swinging close TO the ground
While in this position a freight
hurrying out Of the way Of a through
train came i'm the siding and struck
the gondola in which the boy was. lie
was thrown from his position down
between the swinging doors TO the
ground and dragged by the heavy
rnbers a distance Of some feet before
the train stopped. He was horribly
mashed about the shoulders, his arm
broken in several places aud fatally
injured internally.
Until DR.. Anderson reached his side
ne suffered great agony. Ii was inn
mediately ascertained that little could
be done for the boy other than spare
him all the pain possible under the
circumstances. He died several hours
after the accident.
