A distressing accident occurred near

last week when Cecil. the Is year old
son of w. H. Haislip. fell beneath the
wheels of . G.. & y. freight train and
was cut to pieces. After supper on
the night In question tho little fellow
bid bis mother good. bye and saying
that be would return soon, ran out
joint bis playmates on thestreet. That
was the last the parents saw OF him
alive. When he did not return at bed
time the mother became uneasy, and
bsfore dawn had the male members of
the family out searching for him. The
little fellow it is th0ught-with other
boy eompanions-climbe bed on a moving
freight train for run down the road
two miles to Iron Gate. After the

trains of that division passed over his
remains. When daylight came the
scattered fragments of bis body were dis
covered, picked up and taken to an
undertaking establishment In Clifton
Forge. There it WAS the anxious faith
or and brother who were out search.
ing, found and identified him. The
body was so mutilated that Identified
tion could only be made by means OF

pockets. Friday interment took place
in the Clifton Forge cemetery, the flu.

back. He explained that no tags were
put in the hats of passengers in the

THE TRUSTS ALWAYS IN POWER.

AS an evidence of how completely |
this government whilst controlled by
the Repub lican party is at the mercy
of the trusts, it is necessary only to|
look at each act of Congress which
undertakes to change any condition.
There is no law existing which was
enacted by Congress before Mr.. Roose-
velt's present term, which was not &C.
tually and absolutely dictated by the
Trusts. He has broken down a few,
but very few.
We own the Philippine Islands. 10
any right thinking person there ought
to be no discrimination in our laws
against these poor subjects, but there
is. The President wanted the tarlH
walls broken down which caused these
subjects to be robbed by the trusts
Mr.. Taft wanted the same thing. he
had visited these people and saw how
their poor hard earned money was
being stolen by the trusts. But no
such law could be passed. 80 we now
treat some of our people one way ana
some another, all for the sake OF those
who have contributed to the Republic
can campaign fund and whose at
torneys are United States Senators.

There was bill before the Legisla-
ture over in West Virginia to place
all primary elections in the hands of
State officers. All parties to hold
elections the same day, and all expen-
ses were to be paid by the State. The
bill was said to be the pet measure OF
the present Governor W. M. o. Daw-
son. 1t met with terrific opposition
among many Republicans. They saw
that in counties like Fayette negroes
would control the elections. and whilst
they want the negro vote they do not
want negro officers. They have tried
them. The bill was defeated last
week, but those Republicans opposing
1t were obliged to get Democrats to aid
them to accomplish defeat. 1t was
for some time the desire of Democrats
to give them az much of their own
medicine as could be administered.
They relented afterward, and thus
dealt a blow to the ruling faction.
They were promised no dangerous leg
isJation at this session on account OF
this aid, but we fear the promises will
be forgotten.

II read in last weeks issue OF the
SPECTATOR your editorial on the VIII
Iiamsburg affair want to congratu-
late you upon the position you took,
and the forceful way in which you
expressed your views before the board.
1t is refreshing to know that there are

tics"

conclusion that a faithful public SER
want and Christian gentleman has been
grossly maltreated, for no known
cause unless it be politics Certainly
nothing in the proof could Justify it'
