YOUNG Child KILLED
WITH A SHOT GUN
While Playing with A Gun at His
Home Near GOerIng, almost
Killed Instantly.

Grover, the little seven-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Otis Hale, who reside
near Goe. ing, was almost instantly
killed at their home on last Friday from
a gun-shot wound. The father and two
or three of his little children were in
room together The mother was in an
adjoining room. A loaded shot gun lay
upon the bed in the room with the
father. The position of the gun was
up and down the length of the bed. A
smaller child was on the bed with the
gun. while the unfortunate boy was on
the floor at the foot of the bed. He
reached for the gun while his father
was not looking, and pulled it toward
him. The supposition is that the ham
mer caught in the bed clothing. The
gun was discharged and the entire load
passed through the foot-board of the
bed and into the stomach of the boy.
The wood from the bed was carried
into the wound and the little fellow
was knocked to the floor. He stagger-
ed in an effort to rise, but fell again
and expired in five minutes. The

Hopkinsville. Ky. Nov. For the
seventy-sixth time in his life Jack
Wood" one of the foremost citizens.
of Trigg county, voted the democratic
ticket last Tuesday. The ballot was
cast at the voting precint at Roaring
Spring and to reach the polling place
Mr.. Wood was forced to ride three

hlliest roads in the county. This he
did though and kept his record of
never having missed an election or
scratched ticket" clear.
MIR. Wood recently passed his nine
ty-seventh birthday. He began voting
just after his twenty-first birthday.
Despite his advanced age he is still
hale and hearty and talk ed to his friends
that were gathered at the voting place

poets to see several more elections roll
around and saws he will continue to
east his ballot each time if he can pos

Mr.. And Mrs. Sperry Happy Though
the Republicans
Win.

Trenton. N. j., Nov. Z. Despite the
fact that the republicans had a great
victo.y in NewJersey and Washington,
E. l.. Sperry, prominent local demo-
crat. is just as pleased to-day has if
Bryan had been elected.
His pleasure is due to the arrival of
his usual election baby. Mr.. Sperry
has now nine children, seven boys and
two girls, all born on election day. He
has been defeated twice as common

by small majorities, but hopes that his

as to insure his election some time.

THE ELECTION
IS NOW over,

The election is over and like good
citizens and patriotic americans we
must accept the nations verdict and
settle down TO business again, with the
knowledge that farmers cannot vote
prosperity into their pockets: but they
must labor just the same, and by or
ganization and cooperation demand
equity for the fruits of their toll.
We notice that from the wreck OF
Democracy on November, a grateful
people secured besides our own Ollie.

NEW YORK, Dec. f4--With a ses-
sion of the woman's department, at
which Mrs. Taft, wife of the president
elect. presented a report of the commit
tee on the welfare work for govern
ment employees, of which she is chair
man, the National civic federation
opened its annual meeting today. Both
Mrs. Taft and her husband are on the
list of speakers, the president elect be-
ing scheduled to speak tomorrow night.
The afternoon meeting was devoted
to a discussion of trace agreements. ad-
dresses on the subject being delivered
by John Mitchell, Herman Ridder, Sam
uel Gompers, James Nj. Lynch and
James O'Connell.
Samuel Gompers said:
was amused when l heard gentleman
after gentleman making statements from the
platform which can be made the subject of
prosecution under the Sherman antitrust
law Indeed, the. existence of the trade
agreement, to which all point with pride,
ls in itself all the evidence that is neces-
sary
Surely, it does not lie with me to even
criticise such men the justices of
preme court if their Interpretation of the
Sherman antitrust law is correct. That
law made at the demand of the people to
protect them from greed and discrimination
of trusts, now applies TO every association OF
working people, and to the men themselves
not dealers in anything, not organized for
profit, but trying only to protect the only
thing OF value to them-ther power to labor
