Thomas McCampbell Met Horri
BILE Death on Rail

bic Death on Rail
Our community was shock &c
early last Thursday morning tt
learn of the serious accident to
Thomas L.Mc Campbell on the rail.
road near Vesuvius Wednesday
night, which resulted in his death
at noon in Lexington Thursday.
Young McCampbell and Willis
F. Pierson left Lexington Wednes-
day evening at Z o'clock on the
Chesapeake and Ohio train for
Buena Vista, where they boarded
a north-bound Norfolk and West
ern freight for Ste unton via Basic
City. When near Vesuvius, about
1890 o'clock, rain began to fall
and the young men attempted to
pass from one car TO another, when
McCampbell lost his balance and
fell between the cars. Pierson
made a desperate effort to save
him, and in doing so he also fell,
bruising himself about the head
and painfully hurting Sne foot.
McCampbell was caught in the
wheels Of the train and one leg
and foot crushed to pieces, while
the other foot was badly mashed.
When Pierson recovered from
the shock of the fall, he called to
McCampbell, and through the
dense darkness and rain his COM
panion answered feebly. Pierson
CROPPED his way to his friend and
with rare presence of mind he took
off his belt and wrapped it around
McCampbells leg, twisting it with
a stick until it was tight enough
to stop the flow of blood, otherwise
the unfortunate young man would
doubtless have bled to death in a
short time.
Pierson. realizing the critical
condition of his friend, went to
Vesuvius.' station to summon help.
On reaching the station he was so
exhausted that he fell prone upon
the platform, and sometime elapsed
before he was sufficiently recover
ed to relate the accident. TIE
agent at Vesuvius wired Basic
City and special was sent out
from that place which took the
young men to Buena Vista. In
the meantime Pierson relu rned to
the scene of the accident with
help, who assisted in removing
McCampbell to Vesuvlus station,
where he was compelled TO remain
till 4 o'clock Thursday morning.
when the special removed the
young men to Busna Vista, where
D.. Map2 was summoned who ac-
them to Lexington on
the early morning train. McCamp-
bell was at once taken to the !
home OF his aunt, Mrs. N. j.
Gibbs, en- Main street. He died at
noon from hemorrhage and shock
rom the accident.
Thomas Lewis McCampbell was
/ son Of Mr.. William H. McCamp-
bell of near Roanoke, and was 20
'earsold the day of his death. Not
showing of his absence from home
/ birthday dinner had been pre-
pared for him by his aunt, with
ynOm he had made his home for a
lumber of years. He was educat-
d in the Lexington schools and
evernl years ago was a student at
)unsmore's Business College in

The funeral was held from r.

Camera Made 8as Reljefs.

Carlos Raese, an Italian civil engi-
neer, has originated II method by which
bas-rcliefs of the face may be obtain
ed through the camera which look as
though they We're photographs of sculp-
lures, The basic idea behind the pho
tosculpture IL that fact we'll known to
photographers that a plate Of gelatin,
sensitiZed with bichromate, will swell
In water and that 1t loses this property
In proportion to the amount of light
which is permitted to strike 1t. Signor
Baese therefore projects the photo
graph upon such Il film through two
other plates. which are necessary to
secure the proper illumination of the
face. First he throws a powerful light
upon the salient parts of the face and
procures a negative. Then he casts tho
light upon the remoter parts of the
countcnancc and obtains IL positive
These plates, positive and negative. are
placed together, and the light passing
through them strikes the sensitiZeL
gelatin plate. and the bas-relief is the
result.

Showing Thorn How.

When a large fat man who hasn't
had on skates for twenty years puts
On a pair Of bright new runners to
show the boys how, the air in those
parts is filed with an incredible num-
Der Of legs and arms in the next few
minutes. while the clear, innocent ice
wonders what it has done to deserve
such a humping.
Skating looks easy to one stand
ing on the bank watching the process.
and 1t is If one knows how. but hav-
ing the art down to al exhibiting point
and having known the way years ago
are two different matters.
A man may never forget how he
earned his first dollar or the form Of
his first love. but he does forget how
to skate. For a pathetic one act drama
that never responds to an encore the
skating gyrations of a man who once
was champion are we'll worth going to
see, but a surgeon should always be
among those present.

democratic candidate for governor
was elected by q plurality of $3.50.
Mr.. Douglas polled 234,670 votes.
only %, 600 less than the combined
Bryan vote of 1896 and 1900.
To say that Mr.. Douglas would be
a stronger candid ate for president
than Mr.. Bryan is to emphasize the
obvious. Mr.. Bryan connot even
carry his own state of Nebraska. He
would not have the glimmer of a
ghost Of a chance in the great de-.
batable states of New York and New
Jersey. Mr.. Douglas, on the other
hand, would have a fighting chance
in Mass achusetts through his appeal
to the great body of independent vot-
ers. He would put new life and new
hope into the democrats of New York
and New Jersey. He would carry
every state that Mr.. Bryan could
carry and would open up a e field
OF doubtful states in which the repub.
licans would 40 longer have the as
Of a walkover.
The World cannot believe that the
democratic party is going to make
itself a mere machine for recording
the personal desires of Mr.. Brya q
On the contrary, we believe that the
Denver convention will be compelled
to consider the qualific atoms and
az availability of men like John A. John
son, Woodrow Wilson, George Gray
and William L. Douglas. How car it
pretend to be a democratic national
convention if 1t makes itself a mere
Bryan ratification meeting?

DlSCORD.

While the nomination of Mr.. Bryan
as the presidential candidate Of their
party is confidently predicted by dem.
ocrats OF the western states, they real
ize that an active anti Bry an campaign
is in progress in many parts of the
country. The headquarters of the
movement is in New York, with the
New York World as the newspaper
mouthpiece Of the organization.
The presidential candidates favored
by the anti. an faction OF the party
are indicated by a recent editorial in
the New York World, which says in
part:
Out of the weller Of democratic dis.
aster in 1904 came two remarkable
victories-the election of John A.
Johnson as governor of Minnesot,
and Of William l.. Douglas as gov.
n of Massachusetts.
In 1895 Mr.. Bryan polled lO3, 66:
votes in Massachusetts, Mr.. McKiu
