Automobiles REGULATED.

At the regular semi-monthly
session of the board of aldermen
held last Monday night the speed
of automobiles was regulated. or
rather the fine was raised from
S. to $50, and the speed was
changed to read as follows: On
any street in the city limits the
speed must not be greater than
at the rate of 10 miles an hour,
except Main street. and on Main
street the speed must not be
greater than 8 miles an hour.
Other matters of a routine
nature were looked after, the
most important being the en-
forcement of the payment of
all the cost of laying sidewalks
by the property owners. The
tax collector was instructed to
advertise at once the property
the same as for other taxes and
proceeds of the sale goes toward
the payment of the work on the
sidewalks.

Refused to Halt When Commanded
Bill Walker Received a Wound.

Dill hdlkpr B2CeiVe0 d h0una.
While attending his regular
duties as night watchman at the
plant of the Golden Belt Manu-
featuring Company, in Edge
mont, last Friday morning, Char
ley Hamlet shot and seriously
wounded Bill Walker. Hamlet
was arrested and gave bond in
the sum of $500 for his appear
ance when the trial takes place.
The negro Walker was carried to
Lincoln hospital and everything
done for his relief possible, and
at last accounts it was thought
that he would recover.
From what can be learned the
particulars regarding the Shoot
ing are as follows: Hamlet, who
is night watchman at the plant
above named, has been shot at
by some one unknown to him
several times, and has been on
the lookout for anybody that
comes around when he is on duty.
Early Friday morning, Bill Wal
ker, who also works for the
Golden Belt people, showed up to
get ready for the days work.
Hamlet hailed Walker and asked
him to halt and tell his business.
This Walker refused to do, and
after he had refused several
times to halt, Hamlet proceeded
to shoot, with the result that
Walker received a bullet in his
abdomen.
Walker, it is said does not
blame Mr.. Hamlet for the acci-
dent as he had ample opportunity
to make himself known. How
ever, Hamlet was arrested by
the police and gave bond to at
tend trial when Walker is able
to be out.

William Jennings Bryan In Virginia

The Virginia State Fair which
will be held October 7th, to 18th.
at Richmond has made special
arrangements with the Hon.
William Jennings Bryan to speak
at the State Fair on Friday, 0c-
tober 11th. Many reports have
issued pro and con as to whether
or not Mr.. Bryan will be a presi-
dental candidate next year. and
as the political pot is beginning
to boil much significance attaches
to Mr.. Bryan's visit to Virginia
at this time. Mr.. Bryan having
been twice nominated by the
Democratic party and twice de.
feated, it is interesting to con-
lecture whether or not he will
again be the standard-bearer OF
Democracy. There is no deny
ing the fact that he is considered
by many to be the greatest liv-
ing exponont of Democratic prin-
ciples, and the readers of this
paper who attend the Virginia
State Fair this fall will have an
opportunity to hear Mr.. Bryan
on strictly political subjects, as
his address will be political
throughout.
There is no living American
who can entertain the crowd so
admirably as Mr.. Bryant. unless
it be President Roosevelt, and
there is no doubt that Mr.. Bryant
will receive a warm welcome
when he comes to Richmond in
October, and while there may be
no political significance in hi:
coming to Virginia from his home
in Nebraska to give this address,
it is certainly interesting in view
of the many rumors which have
been ahoat that Mr.. Bryan
has declined to stand for the
presidential nomination next
year. 1t is thought that he may
declare himself definitely and
make a public announcement
when he speaks in the Old Do.
minion.

subject "A little child shall lead
hem"--Isaiah 11:6, and illus
trated the subject by referring
to a great lecturer who said that
every one had influence, point
ing to a little girl sitting by the
side of her father, and said that
that little girl has infuenc, and
the girls father spoke out and
said "yes she has" and after the
lecturer had concluded his re-
marks, the girls father went to
the speaker and said I am due
you an apology, because when
you said that my little child had
influence | could not refrain from
speaking, and then related to
the speaker how his child had
led him from vice and shame, as
he started to the gambling den
and drinking saloon with his
child in his arms and she began
bleeding papa do not go and he
said that he felt tear drops fall
ling on his face and then he
could not go another step and
turned and went home. He fur
ther explained his subject when
he mentioned that a hard hearted
mother lost her only child and
deposited its little shoes away as
a keep sake and it had a leading
influence. He threw lmore light
o: his subject when he stated
that a little girl by the name of
Sindy Gilbert, attended Sunday
school with fifty other children
in a small cabin and Sindy was
taken sick, and in her lingering
condition she prayed that all
fifty of her school mates might
be saved and soon after the
death of that girl they held a
revival and fifty were saved and
the ones she had prayed for. and
she also left q cents, which she
wanted used in building a more
convenient house in which to
hold Sunday school,I and now
they have a church with over
onethousand members and a Sum-
day school with two thousand
pupils. In the first place a little
child led by words and tears.
In the second place a little child
led by its little shoes and in the
third place a little child led by
its prayers and q cents. At the
close of the last speech a good
collection was taken for the
Thomasville orphanage.
