ed from a trip through Lyon, Trigg.
Caldwell and Crittenden counties,
where he secured service on about
twenty-five defendants in the night
rider damage suit In the United
States court. In Lyon county he
said he vas refused meals by night
riders and their sympathizers and
could only get such accommodations

The last day he was out he had to
drive his team all day without feed,
and he bought his dinner at a
county store.
On one trip he had Tom Stevenson
a selfconfessed night rider with him
as guide. They intended to spend
the night In the neighborhood but on
advice of friends Of Stevenson, who
was informed that he would be in
danger Of mob violence, they went
to Princeton for the night.
The defendants are on the run.
and Deputy Neal says he has failed
to find a large number Of them.
He said that Il was heralded through
the county as soon as he stepped
upon a depot platform and he was
unable to get any information from
the defendants families or their
sympathizers. He will make another
trip, disguised. before court con-

Meets Horrible Death.

Robert Oscar Caldwell, a promi-
nent citizen and good man Of this
city, met with horrible accident
last Thursday, resulting in his death
Monday.
About noon, Thursday, Mr.. Cald-
we'll went down to the lower factory
of the Mengel Box Co., for the pur-
pose of learning when the mill would
start to running again. After spend
ing few minutes In the engine
room, he started to 60 into the main
factory building. walking through
what he thought was a small puddle
of water on the floor. This inno-
cent looking puddle OF water on the
floor was nothing less than a vat oil
scalding water four feet deep, which
had just been drawn from one of the
engine boilers for some purpose,
and Mr.. Caldwell walked off into it
without khs Ing what ii was, going
into the scalding liquid up to his
waist. His cries brought Quincy
Taylor, the saw filler, to his assist
ance, and Taylor managed to pull
him from the hole of water in which
he was being literally cooked. The
unfortunate man was hurried to his
home, where, when his clothing was
removed, the flesh came off with the
garments. DR.. c. w. Curtin was
called to administer to the sufferer,
but his condition was so precarious
that no hope of his recovery was en-
tertained. He suffered untold agony,
and was only relieved when death
came at 40 Monday night.
Mr.. Caldwell was born in Withe
county, Va, in 1848. In 1871 he
came to Fulton county, and in 1899
he moved to this city, residing here
since that date. He was united in
marriage with Miss Alice Barksdale
in 1871, and to whom we're born six
children, FIVE of them now living
William Caldwell and four daugh-
tiers, Mrs. Annice Flynn, Misses
Pauline, Rena, and Lillian all of
whom reside in Hickman. Mrs.
Caldwell also survives her husband.
BY trade deceased was a carpen-
ter, but i'll health forced him to re-
tire from this business several years
ago. During the late war, he cast
his lot with the "Lost Cause" and
served with distinction until the end.
For 26 years he has been a member
of the Baptist church, and lived an
upright, Christian life. He was
big-hearted. manly man, and his de-
parture will be deplored by friends
and relatives alike.
Funeral services were held at the
family residence at Q o'clock Tues
day afternoon, by Rev. Huntington,
after which the remains we're laid to
rest in the City Cemetery.

the breaved ones.

Big Revival Closed.

The big revival, which has been
IN progress for the past three weeks
at the First Methodist church, was
brought to a close Sunday night.
Rev. Klein, the evangelist in
charge of the services, worked hard,
and was assisted by equally Jealous
workers-Revs. burlington, Terry,
Waters, Metheny and laymen and
personal workers. Through their
untiring efforts, the meeting was a
great blessing TO this city-a great
worn was accomplished. The mum.
Der of conversions is approximately
$50 and about half as many recon
secrations.
Rev. Klein has methods peculiar
ly his own in revival work-possibly
better than the ordinary way-but
unfortunately, his methods did not
elicit the popular favor which should
have been accorded this worthy
cause. This was anticipated by Rev.
Waters, who admonished his men,
bership in previous sermon to with
hold any criticism for at least a
week. Still, there was more or less
comment on it. Let this be as il
may, the revival is over and the
town is better for it.
Rev. Klein and Terry left Sunday
night for Shelbyville, Tenn, where
they will hold meeting, beginning
next week.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, AUG. 6, 1909.
THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

Democratic primaries were held IN
the various districts of the county
on Saturday last and passed of
quietly. In only few of the districts
we're there contests, and these we're
conducted In a manner creditable TO
the aspirants who we're engaged in
contesting for the delegates TO the
county convention.
We are coming up to very Inn
portant Democratic county conven-
ton, which viii assemble In West
minister on Monday next, the 9th in
slant. Nominations are to be made.
at that time for most OF the important
Offices of the county. It behooves the
gentlemen who will compose tha.
convention to use their best judg-
ment. without regard TO mere per
sonal considerations. in selecting the
strongest and most available men for
these various places.
It is a laudable ambition to aspire

cannot. at once, be gratified For the
general good. II Is necessary that
some, for the time, must waive their
claims, and fail into line for those
who are nominated Party loyalty
and every consideration of propriety
demand this.
We have q strong and yigilant po-
litical foe to fight in this county and
1t Is necessary for every Democrat
to put his shoulder to the wheel. The
county Is normally Democratic, not
withstanding the negro vote. but the
majority is not large.
Our convention must. therefore, be
careful to select the strongest ticket
that IL can place before the voters
OF the county That this will be the
endeayor OF the convention we doubt
not. and with such ticket there will
equally. be no doubt about the result
at the election IN November next.
The Advocate stands for the success
OF the Democratic party OF the coun-
". and will be glad to nail to its
masthead the Democratic banner
with the names OF the nominees OF the
convention upon g. piedging to each
one or these gentlemen itB earnest

THE STANDARD SEWING MACHINES are meeting
with the highest approval. The daily comments by
old users of the STANDARD are very Hatterinp
One gentleman tells that his wife has used one for
twenty years. and they like it well they would not think
OF buying other kind if they needed another Another
customer dressmaker tells very emphatcally that it
the only machine fit for woman to rum and thus we
