Moterman Unable to Geek Speed

Lewiston, Nc, Aug. 9.-(SpeciaD -
Emma Landry, the nine year-old
daughter of Frank Landry was
struck by Prospect Hill car
while crossing the street near the
corner of Lincoln and Cedar streets
this afternoon and instantly killed
The motorman running the car said
that he did not see the girl until the
car was within 10 feet of her and then
it was too late to do anything to pre-
vent the mishap. He set the brakes
as hard as possible, but could not
check the speed of the car before
striking the child, who was carried 81
feet before the car could be brought
to stop.
The car which figured in the acct
dent left the head of Lisbon street at
3.05 o'clock. Spectators who saw the
accident say it was going at high
speed when the little Landry girl, un-
aware of the danger, started to cross
the street. AS the car drew nearer
she kept on her way, apparently
obliviOus of the fact that one of the

the car was 50 close that before it's
speed could be checked or a warning
cry given, she was struck with a force
which knocked all the breath out Of
her and broke several of her bones.
AS the Mortified passersby who had
seen the girl struck rushed to her as
sistance the big car plunged on, drag
ging the inanimate body several rods
before it could be stopped. The body
of the child was taken from the front
of the car and medical assistance
summoned. When doctor arrived
on the scene there was nothing he
could do, as the little girl was beyond
aid.
The coroner was notified and view

Election of the convinced opinion in the

the stock market bore many evidences
OF Il concentrated origin and of profess

tain speculative confidence was none
the less marked owing to the general
belief that powerful financial groups
with superior means of information re-

the bulk of the operations.
That these operations We're based on

On top of this was the assumption
that the recent prostration of business

condition without due explanation in
natural economic causes, but resulting
rather from d bascless fright This

engagements are now being made with
the Republican state committee of Ten
neSSee for q series of meetings at which
Secretary Wright will be the principal
speaker. In his addresses he will ear
nestly advocate the election of Mr.. Taft
on the platform of the Roosevelt pol

VIII ether Mr.. Wright will at any time
announce that he has definitely left the
Democratic party and will hereafter
vote the Republican ticket is not
known. Nor it is known as yet whether
Mr.. Wrights newspaper the Memphis
Commercial Appeal, will ctltorially
support the Republican ticket.
There is every reason for believing
that Tennessee will go Democratic in
spite of prophecies to the contrary, but
there is 4 splendid opportunity to re
duce the majority. The two Republic
can factions of Tennessee SO bitterly
opposed to each other last spring that
there were two contesting delegations
at Chicago are now united.
Both factions were earnest support
ers of Taft, and the contesting delcga-

that this public proclamation of views
might be regarded as q new phase m

induced by this public proclamation in
the leadership of the revival. Occa-

vailed that children We're not susccpt-
IDLE to religious influences.
At the beginning of Sunday school
work, the children of the poor were the
objects of the teaching and for that
reason the work did not extend widely
or reach the children of the better
classes "Dr. Lyman Bcechcr was one
of the daring spirits who broke away
from the prevailing idea on this point
by taking his own children to Sab
bath school. and by inducing mis-
nciShbors to do likewise"
Sunday school libraries were not
common until 1921 Before that time
only a few books for children were
published including such books as
"Goody Two Shoes" blue Beard
and who Killed Cock Robin"
It was u brave undertaking to begin
work which some of his ministerial
brethren disapprovcd of. 1t is not
