ty," emblazoned across large banner,
is the cheerful message that greeted
the eyes of Senator Taylor, democratic
candidate for governor, when his train
pulled into the depot at Dickson, and
the senator, discriminating, was caught
up into the arms of his admiring
friends and conveyed two blocks away
to the court house, outside of which
the speakers stand had been erected.
And as an evidence that this assur-
ance of a large majority was justified
by popular sentiment, upwards of 1000
people, aged veterans, women, all
classes and conditions of people, stood
out in the drizzling rain, and for an
hour and half listened to the doctrines
of democracy declared by Robert l..
Taylor and Frank Bond.

FELL UNDER FREIGHT CAR
Harrison McNabb, of Milligan, 10
Years Old, Attempts to Catch
Freight and Foot Slips Off

Yesterday afternoon while attempt
ing to board a freight between Milligan
and Johnson City, Harrison McNabb,
aged 16 years, met with serious acci-
dent that came near costing him his
life. In attempting to board freight
train he missed his footing and fell un-
der the cars, resulting in the loss of
one foot and serious injury to the 9TH
er. The freight train was moving so
fast that not one of the train crew
heard the young mans cries but luck
lily for him the regular e. T. & w. N.
G. passenger due here at o'clock hap
pened by few minutes later and the
injured boy was placed aboard and as
fast time as is possible to make over
that road " as made. On reaching the
city the young man was hastily remov-
ed to the office of DR.. Matthews who
called in Doctors West and III. d.
Miller and removed one foot just above
the ankle and the first two toes of the
other. DR.. Harry Miller stated to a
Comet reporter last night that the
young man was resting well and that
chances of recovery were very good.
This should be warning to the young
men who make practice of swinging
freight trains. 1t is getting to be a
common sight to see youngsters swing
trains as they pass through the main
part of the city and it is surprising
that no more accident do not occur.

The rain was still falling in heavy
drizzle as the senator was whirled

in the whole county. Over $50 peo-

NOTICE TO THE B.P.O. E.

Exalted Ruler o. j. Burns of Fargo
lodge of Elks earnestly hopes that as
many of the members as can will at
tend the special meeting that is to be
held at the club parlors tomorrow ev-
ening,s for there is a great deal of very
important business to come before the
session. For instance there are sew
eral candidates for membership to be
balloted on. Then there are several
committees on applications to make
their reports. Then the question of
attending the opening of the Elks' new
hall at Grand Forks will also be taken
up and discussed. The present ar
rangement is for the Elks to go to the
Forks on Saturday afternoon either on
the first train which leaves shortly af-
ter o'clock or the evening train which
leaves here little after o'clock.
Either train will give the members
plenty of opportunity to have a good
time. Those who do not care to re-
main over night can take a Great
Northern train that leaves this Forks
a little after IL o'clock and which is
generally behind time. but a, canvass of
the members show that the most of
the local antlered ones prefer to re-
main over night and come home by
the way of Crookston. There is every
indication that there will be a large
crowd from here go to Grand Forks
Saturday. Let all of the members
who can" said Mr. Burns, attend the
meeting tomorrow night"

TEST YOUR CORN.

Now is the time to see whether the
corn which you are thinking of plant
ing or sowing purposes will grow or
not" says Prof. H. l.. Bolley at the
a.. ca Corn and barley are very Pc
culiar grains When in good condi-
ton they send out very strong sprouts
and make clean growtks. but you can
not tell by looking at them whether
they will grow or not The appearance
OF the grains is often very deceptive
If there has been a little frost while
the grain is damp it will either be very
weak or dead Corn which terminates
well about New Years time may often
be dead at planting time.
THE seed laboratory established at
the agricultural college tests seeds of
all kinds free of charge, and any far
mer who feels that he cannot test his
own corn satisfactorily is free to send
samples to the laboratory, and will re-
ceive q report telling exactly the con-
dition OF the seed. This applies to
grass seeds Of all kinds, but is particu-
Iarly important for those who are
going to plant corn, that they may
know the quality Of seed which they
expect to plant TT is not very pleas
Ing or profitable to cultivate half a
stand Of corn.
IF you want samples tested in time
to do you any good this spring send
in at once. DO not wait until planting
time.
BE sure to state Of whom you pro-
cured the seed and when 1t was deliver
ed to you, If you want a report

when women are present. Three full
centuries" would take us back to the
year 1910, and we are satisfied that
at that time no man, in the South or
elsewhere, ever took off his hat in an
elevator.
Well go further and risk the asser-
tiion that George Washington himself
never took off his hat in an elevator
because there were women passengers.
and he certainly was a typical south
ern gentleman.
We might venture to risk deducting
two full centuries from The Georgian's
figures and assert that even at that
time 1t was not the custom of Southern
gentlemen to uncover their heads in
elevators for the very simple reason
that there were no elevators. "Atlan-

The Georgian. If that were true, one
might well say. God help the South"
Atlanta is the least Southern city in
