BRAIN rrERoEp BY BULLET.
Norwood Graydon Taken TO Atlanta
After Peculiar Accident.

With 22-calibre bullet lodged
somewhere In his brain, Norwood, !,
the 10-year-old son of State Senator
w. N. Graydon, of Abbeville, s. c.,
not only lives, but is perfectly con-
scious and apparently suffering no
serious effects.
The lad, who was rushed to the
Wesley Memorial Hospital on Thurs
day afternoons Seaboard Air Line
train, was accidentally shot earlier
in the day. while attempting to
climb a fence In the vicinity OF his
home. A parlor rifle which he car
ried, caught In the fence and was
discharged, the bullet entering the
child's right temple.
The wounded boy, accompanied 4 by
his father, mother, brother, the fam
lily physician. DR.. j. G. Hill, and a
nurse, boarded the first train for At
ianta, kilograms having been sent
ahead to DR.. Henry Battey, OF Rome,
and Dr.. Floyd McRae, OF Atlanta, to
meet the party at the hospital.
Immediately after arriving here
little Norwood was carried. to the
hospital 9and placed upon the operat-
Ing table, where his wound was given
close examination by the physi-
clans. 1t was decided not to probe
for the bullet, and therefore it's
place of Judgement was not deter
mined.
With DR.. Battey in charge of the
little patient, the party left Atlanta
early Saturday for Rome, where the
necessary operation will be per-.
formed.

live the pain and sorrow caused by
evil associations on the last night of
last year. Mann Phillips was foully
murdered. AS there are conflicting
statements and the case is now un-
dergoing judicial investigation we
forbear from mentioning the names
Of the parties charged with the
crime. We have seen none OF the
eye witnesses, but from what has
been said 1t appears that some party
or parties will have to answer to the
charge of murder. Mann Phillips
was well liked in Westminster He
possessed warm heart. He was po-
lite and accommodating. He was
son of Jas. e. Phillips, and was en-
ployed as driver at Keese's stables.
In deploring this sad tragedy there
is one thing we cannot refrain from
saving, and 1t Is in the nature Of ad-

makes character in the associations
Of life faster than anything else.
Purity begets purity, like begets like,

Americans Want Remains
of William Penn Remov
ed from England to this
Country.
NOT LIKELY TO
BE ACCOMPLISHED
Prior Negotiations Of Like
Nature Have Been
Unsuccessful.

Logdon, Oct S.-A nenewed pro-
posal to remove the remains OF IL
lustrous William Penn from the pea
ceable little burial ground at Jor-
dams, near Chalfont st. Giles, I'm
Bucks to the States has created n
good deal of interest in that country.
The project is summarized in the
following, which has been issued to
Americans, large numbers of whom
have visited the shrine during the
past few months and are still maxi
ing a pilgrimage to the spot:
That Americans should desire to
have In their midst the bones of him
whose memory they so earnestly re-
we're Is a sentiment which the great
mans fellow countrymen now living
cannot lightly ignore. Profoundly
impressed by the noble character,
the sterling deeds and the inesti-
mable worth OF the man who found
ed the great Colony OF Pennsylvania
toward the end OF the seventeenth
cent@ry, the American OF today in
Ipired by reverential awe, cannot
be banned If he wants more than a
mere pilgrimage TO the shrine OF his
idol will give.
Such satisfaction as may be de-
rived from a visit TO the burial
ground OF Jordans, where the re-
mains OF William Penn rest, Is in
comparable with that which the con-
summation OF the cherished object
would impart
The motives which give rise to
the desire IS not an unnatural one
when all i8 considered, do not spring
from my wish to rob England of all
that is Jeff one her noblest sons,
but are the outcome OF pure es-
who, fred by the spirit OF republi-
canism and guided by noble precepts
and doctrines, combined with a fear
le1snes OF character, generous ma
ture and a stout heart, was fore
most I'm laying the foundation upon
which much Of Americas greatness
has risen"
The last occasion upon which over
ture- Of this description were made
was as far back as the year 1881.
The negotiations then made for tho
removal OF William Penn's remains
were unsuccessful.
There seems every probability
that there will be even stronger re-
sentiment to any such project at the
present time. Not ony are the men
bers OF the Society OF Friends In
England ayerse TO the idea, but
many others who are admirers OF
William Penn would strongly oppose
the proposal

We have had evils growing out OF

Sensational Advice of Ken
lucky Governor to Tobac-
CO Growers of His Own
State.
ORGANIZE LEAGUES
KILL INVADERS
Says Law is Behind Them
and State is With
Them.

Frankfort, KY, October g., Fight
the dali with hia own fire" is the
method that Governor Wilson is ad-
vising the independent growers of
tobacco In Kentucky to adopt in
their struggles against the night
riders. Piles OF letters are stac6ed
In his desk, the Governor says, from
people appealing to him and asking
him where they must pool their to-
oacco, or where they will be afforded
protection by the militia If they do
not pool It,
Organize liberty leagues and kill
the nocturnal invaders is the advice
that the Governor gives.
In a statement Governor Will
son lighted the fire that will set
the whole of the Burley and
dark tobacco district afame
today. He says that no man
should pool his tobacco unless he
wanted to. and that he will pardon
any man who resorts to arms to pro-
tect his home. That civil war will
follow In Tobacco Kentucky, as a
result of this published statement,
would not come as surprise, for
the situation is intense, and the crisis
for the Independents or the organiza-
alton men will be reached within
the next few days
The statement given out will mean
the failure of the pool, and If Gov
ernor Wilson had been directly en-
ployed by the tobacco trust he could
not have rendered n more valuable
service. He says IN part in the
statement. You will remember that
I nave made public addresses to our
people asking them 20 defend their
homes, and assured them that II they

mort serious conviction of my duty.
It was made with full knowledge OF
its serious character, and Il is my
set purpose to keep the faith under
that proclamation. n mems inter-
ests in a business plan to form a
combination to raise the price on
their crops, which is entirely proper
and wise IL lawfully carried on, is
so great that they will form poo
so great that they will form a poo
