Lad Shot and Killed---An-
other Case of "Fooling"
With Gun.

Asheville, N. c., special in
Charlotte Observer: A shock
ing and fatal accident occurred
in West Asheville this morning
about Z O'Clock when Herman
Andrews, the 7-year. old son OF
I. M. Andrews, of that place,
was either accidentally shot and
killed by his 9-year-old brother
or else himself accidentally dis
charged the gun that sent
charge of shot into his breast,
resulting in almost instant death.
1t seems that the two children
had been sent up stairs to get
ready for school. In the room
was a shotgun which Mr.. An
drews had loaded for some pur
pose few days since and from
which he had forgotten to with
dlsw the load. After the chill
lren had been upstairs a few
minutes there was report of a
gun and those nurrylng to the
scene found the little 7 year-old
boy lying on the floor breathing
his last, with a great gaping
wound in the breast. The O.
year. old lad had showed the gun
under the bed. He was almost
speechless and couldn't tell ex-
actly how the accident happened
further than to say that the gun
went off. 1t is believed that the
children were either "fooling"
with the weapon when the elder
brother pressed the trigger and
accidentally fired the gun or else
little Herman was pushing the
gun around the bed when the
trigger caught and the weapon
was fired.

aged by the recent rains to the
extent of 100000 bales. The
commissioner said that in only
two counties in the State is the
crop up to the standard of that
OF last year.
1.-THE heavy rains which were
general throughout the State
two or three weeks ago, follow ed
by the exceedingly hot weather,
accounts for the damage" said
Commissioner Hudson. "The
two excesses caused the cotton
to shed it's young bolls and in
jured it to such an extent that
every acre of farm land in Geor-
gia was literally covered with
them. The damage is greater
this year than ever before in my

fact that David on the second attempt,

lection. and the large gifts of David to
the people. Some time after. when peace
ably possessed of his kingdom. victorious
over all his enemies David. while sitting
in his palace. considered how he might
further employ himself in the service of
God. When it occurred to him that he
lived in a house OF cedar and the ark
was meanly lodged, he conceived the de-
siga of building a magnificent temple for
it's reception. Disclosing his thoughts to
Nathan. the prophet. he was encouraged
by that eminent man. who felt assured
that the purposes originated In zeal for
the glory of God. and that therefore
God would prosper the undertaking and
conduct 1t to success.
NATHAN.-David's adviser deserves
more extended notice. Younger than
Cad who also occupied the position of
direct representative of the schools of
the prophets, imbued with much of the
spirit Of Samuel. the founder Of those
schools. That he was good man. worthy
of confidence, is evident from his words
on this occasion That he did not lack
courage to speak his convictions is proved
by the fact that afterward he reproved
David for his sin with Bath-sheba, and
his famous apologize on the rich man and

power was OF very high order Oh Sam,
