A SAD ACCIDENT.
A Runaway in East Lumberton
Rusults in the Death Of One
Child and the Serious Injury
of Anothor

Child and the Serious Injury
of Another.
Two mad horses hitched
to a wagon dashed down a street
of the Lumberton and Dresden
Cotton Mills village Tuesday af-
ternoon about $50 o'clock, and
before their career was arrested
three small children had been
run over, one of them receiving
injuries from which it died some
two and half hours later, anoth-
er receiving injuries as a result
of which it's life now hangs in
the balance, the other escaping
miraculously with slight injuries.
Hoke, between three and four
years old, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Allen Oliver, was severely in
jured about the head and death
resulted about 8 O'Clock the same
evening; Gussie, about the same
age, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
r.. G. Beaver, received fearful
Injuries about the body and is in
critical condition, but hopes are
entertained of her recovery;Hat-
tie Belle, about four years old,
daughter of Mrs. H. F. Pate, re-
ceived only slight injuries.
The horses belong to Mr.. Chas.
Ivey, of the Cotton Mill village,
and he was moving the family of
a Mr.. Abbott to the mills from
Hamer, S. G. The horses were
left standing near Mr.. Haywood
Tyner's wood shop and it is said
that they became frightened by
the blowing of the shop whistle
or the sudden starting Of the
saw. The three children were
playing about the pump which
stands in a street near by and it
is said that they ran directly in
front of the runaway team. 1t
seems a miracle that all three
were not killed.
DR.. w. A. McPhaul was sum-
moned and arrived on the scene
in about Is minutes, but it was
impossible to save the boy that
was most severely injured. 1t
was thought yesterday that the
chances of saving Gussie Dea-
ver's life were slight, but her
condition was considered imprOv.
ed this morning.
The horses were soon caught,
uninjured, and the damage tt
the wagon was slight.

Where Gaynor is
Like Roosevelt.

There is a facetious paragrapher on
New York sheet who proposes Judge
GaynoT, the mayor-to-be of the great
city, for president in 1912 because the
judge is so much like Roosevelt"
The writer gees On to illustrate.
Judge Gaynor has a country place on
Long Island, where he feeds the chick
ems and pitches hay and chops wood
that's Roosevelt. He frequently walks
twenty and thirty miles through the
country, rain or shine, just for fun
that's Roosevelt. And when he has
an uncompIimentary opinion of a man,
either on political grounds or on per
Sonal grounds, instead of leaving him
to surmise in silence the Gaynor hos
tility, he walks right up to that man
Ananias club and have done with it
very much Roosevelt!
1t might, perhaps, be better for the
Gaynor presidential boom, if there
really IS such a thing, to wait until
the mayor has demonstrated his vote

one election to the governorship; but
if it can be shown that the only like
ness of Laynor to Roosevelt is the
possession of the few little mutual
eccentricities that have been set forth
by the Gaynor paragrapher, We GER
tainly have no objection to considering
Gaynor 1912 possibility. If it had
been shown that the Brooklyn judge
shortly to become a mayor was like
unto Roosevelt in any essential par
ticular, we should strenuously protest
against the mention of his name, even
at this early stage of the game. One
Roosevelt in a generation is about all
the American people can readily as
simulate.

Political Foe Has
Praise For Harmon.

George B. Cox. Republican boss of
years in cincinnati, who has been
turned down time and again only co
rise once more, Tom Plattlike, his
mouth fairly watering with political
jam, begs leave to say that his Demo
cratic friend, Gov. "Jud." Harmon, gen
orally admitted to be the most demo
cratic Democrat in the whole state OF
Ohio. lis a tremendously strong and
popular man, who, if elected governor
again next fall, must surely prove a
possibility to be reckoned with in
1912"
There can, of course, be no doubt at
all of the Ohio popularity of Gov Har-
mon; he won the Buckeye state by
$4,000 odd in 1908, though Taft landed
in by $4,000 the same day. He has
been very well received in Texas and
the Southwest, where, accompanied by
Mrs. Harmon, he went a fortnight or
so ago to see some party friends and
to make some speeches in The Lone
Star state.
We do not think a whole lot OF
George B. Cox, the man primarily re-
sponsible, according to his own admis-
sion, for much of the municipal chican-
cry in the second largest of Ohio
cities: but his rare sagacity as a
prophet of political happenings we
must recognize. 1t is excellent prac,
tice now and then to give the Devil
his due. George Cox is well within
the truth when he declares that Gov.
Harmon. should he carry Ohio again
in 1910, which would give him an in
creased opportunity to weed out more
crooked and inefficient commissions in
his state, would be a powerful conven-
ton aspirant less than three years
from now
The governor is willing TO run again,
and, while it seems reasonable TO
credit the report that the Republicans
will put forth their most desperate
efforts to keep him from gaining an
other term at Columbus, the governor
and his friends have that sanguine
feeling that he is not to be one-term

We would like to endorse the stand

this mileage was an excessive eXpen-

that has been given during the life

Uncle Sam Now
Using The Want AID Page.

Every reader Of The Journal is
familiar with The Journals famous
Want Ad. page. 4 very large number
of those readers have had occasion to
use that page and have found 1t eX-
tremely profitable to them. Now the
government of the United States IS
using the Want Ad. pages both of The
Journal and of the newspapers gen
orally and this innovation on the part
of conservative Uncle Sam leads the
Des Moines Tribune to comment as
follows:
James Gordon Bennett, the elder
invented the want ad. In the old days
it was generally to locate lost peO-
pie or articles, to secure help or po-
sitions.
The want ad. has grown with the
Years as much as any part OF news
Oapering Today it covers a wide
field. Almost as much is sold now
through the classified pages as through
he display pages. The want ad. is
ccepted everywhere as the barometer
f successful newspaper advertising.
The latest patron of the want adj.
page is the United States. The gov
effective way to recruit the navy de-
partment is to use the want ad. 1t is
announced from Washington:
THE only method of securing appli-
cants which the service finds more
effective than the coiored poster is the
newspaper want adj"
After resoTting to every other means
of attracting the attention OF the
young men, Uncle Sam says that
about the only kind of advertising he
needs to pay for is the newspaper
want adj"
It is interesting to watch the devel-
opment of a method of doing business.
From the little personals James Cor
don Bennett devised has come a new
general market place. Everything IN
der the sun is traded and sofa on the
want pages. The newspaper that has
the want ad. supremacy is a Veritabie
trading station for the state.
Moreover the want page is a great
deal of human interest in the count
less bargains offered. There is some
pathos, some pure fun, and some
deViltTy. Human nature is seen in
many guises. The intelligent reader
misses the want ads.
Everything the Tribune says is true
and particularly true as to the human
interest side of the Want Ad page.
There are more sides of human life
of human joy and misery, hope and
despair-concentrate in the Want Ad-
page of a newspaper than in all the
other pages of the paper and it s
quite likely that more people read the
Want Ad. page than any other one
page OF the paper.
The Journals Want Ads, from the
time when they filed only about a
quarter OF a column to the present
time when they frequently run to a
page and a half, nave grown in popu-
larity as the years have gone by.
And, as the Tribune says, even Uncle
Sam is now using them and finding
them profitable.
