Herc,s a Comment.

The loud-mouthed bully who blat.
antly tells a quiet. peaceable man
what he's going to do to him, doesn't
prove that the quiet man is afraid
of him by long shot. He only proves
that he is a loud-mouthed bully, and
when it comes to showdown he's
apt to be something Of coward.

OF the narrative she was seated be-
hind the stove in the restaurant with
her head bandaged up, and suffering
only from the pain occasioned by the
wound and from the nervous strain
following it.

been in my employ for several months
He had been drinking much of late

this morning told him that he could
remain in my employ no longer.

room. revolver in hand. but the pre-.
caution was unnecessary. There on
the floor was the grewsome find. The
body of the attempted murderer lay
outstretched in the center of the
room in death-like stiffness. his throat
cut almost from ear to ear. and his
entire body bathed in the pool of
blood that drenched the carpet for
three feet around. The blood was
trickling from the big cash in
his throat. For a minute after the
officer arrived the man did not stir
and from all appearance he was dead.
Life Discovered.
Life was not extinct, however. OF
tcer Fuqua turned to Mr.. Payton and
declared that the man looked like a
dead one, but as he concluded the
utterance Brown stirred slightly and
subsequently his left arm was drawn
Up and crossed over his body. Soon
MS head moved and the two men in
the room saw that he had at least a
lew hours to live. They advanced to

! whether he was conscious. Then a
doctor was summoned and DR.. Brown,
who had been called to attend to Mrs.
Coon, arrived almost Immediately.

When Dr.rBrown arrived vhe sewed
up, the mans throat and tied cord
around his lower limbs just above
his knees in order to cause the blood
to remain in the upper part of his
body. The patrol was summoned and
additional officers arrived on the
scene. The man was carried out into
the patrol and hurried to the Graham
hospital, lowering between life and
death The chief of police did not
deem it necessary to provide a watch
for the man this morning, as he was
so low that there was no danger OF
him becoming violent or attempting
to escape. 1t was declared at head,
quarters that no charge would be filed
against the attempted murderer until
something more definite regarding his
condition could be ascertained. DR.
Brown said there was some chance
for his recovery.
The negro's right iugular vein was
cut but the windpipe was merely
scraped. He used razor which was

BY most people the telephone has
been hooked upon as a complicated
mechanism which only experts can
install and o crate. To a large ex-
tent, this is true of a city system, but
fortunately a rural telephone system
is extremely simple. This is demon
strated by the fact that farmers in all
sections of the South are building tel
ephDne lines and installing telephones
In their homes. The work is done
largely by the farmers themselves,
and the lines are we'll constructed and
maintained at small cost.
The building OF a telephone line
