STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Was Dallas Siuller, Friday Morning. Although
Net Seriously Injured.

Perhaps no person ever was near
er Deaths door, and escaped with
as little injury, as was Dallas Slut
Ter, son of Atty d. f. Stuler, Fri
day morning.
He was squirrel hunting on the
Nc Barr hul" across the river
from town. when . thunder shower
came mp, ond he went under a
chestnut oak ;ree for shelter Sit
ting his gun down against the trunk
of the tree, he leaned his body
against the tree SO as to better pro-
tect himself from the ram.
According to "Dack's" story the
next imprc ssion he had was that
Of being fed by some terrible
folce into the air, and he presently
found himself on his hands and
knees several feet away from the
tree. He gathered up his SOUR
rels and what was left of his sun
and started for home He soon
AFTERWARDS found that his ear was
bursted open and there were hun
dreds of small Commissions of the skin
on his neck and back, caused by
the splinters from the tree being
driven in by the force Of the cleo
trio bolt. There was also long
burn and the skin bursted open
reaching down almost to his waist.
on his back. The stock Of the gun
was shattered to pieces. He came
home and had his injuries dressed
and was soon as well as ever, ex-
cept for the soreness He says
the only sensation he felt for sever
al hours was that Of being numb.
Surely, it was a mira culous es-
cape from instant death.

MEMBER
MASON AND DIX0N'S LINE.

The historic Mason and Dix
on's Line is a name that was
given to the boundary between
Maryland and Pennsylvania
about one hundred and fifty
years ago. 1t comedies with 50,
43, and %. 3 north latitude. Ex-
cept for a distance of % miles,
the line was marked out by
Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dix
on, English engineers. They
surveyed it for a distance Of 25S
miles west from the Delaware
River, between November -,
1863, and December 20, 1867.
Each five mile stone bears tn,
coat of arms of Maryland cut OH
one side and that of Pennsylva-
MIA or the other. The interven-
ing miiestones bear the letter
"P" cut on one side and the let
ter IN" on the opposite.
During the progress of the
violent debatein congress in 1920,
which resulted in the historic
measure known as the Missouri
Compromise, on the question Of
excluding slavery from Missouri
John Randolph made use Of the
phrase Mason and Dixon Line"
as the dividing line between
slave and free states, Maryland
at that time being slave state
and Pennsylvania free state.
At that time the crossing Of tho
line from the south meant free
dom to the fugitive slave The
reference thus made to the
Mason and Dixon's Line by Ran
dolph as a dividing line between
slave and free states brought the
phrase into general use. and it.
continued to designate the line
between freedom and slavery till
after the civil war; Exchange.

First Airship in this State.
AT 2ARKERSBuRe LAST WEEK.

Parkersburg Sept. 9-Parmalee
eXcelled his great flights of Tues
day at Shattuck Park yesterday.
The crowd was breathless
while the young aviator, who
was more than fulfilled the fond
est expectations, few higher and
thither, darting up and down,
through the wind-squalls which
followed the afternoon rain.
Twice the machine while over
LOCO feet in the air dropped
clear out from under the opera
tor and on the whole he was for
tunate to escape without acct
dent.
The first flight was made at 5
=. m. and the nervy young avia-
tor scared over the Kanawha
river and over 1000 feet in the
air, on the descent he executed a
rapid dip and made the most
spectacular landing yet seen here,
lighting along the more difficult
part of the field.
The second flight was mand at
$50 p. m. and lasted nine minu-
ties,
The last flight was made in
in the face of the approaching
storm and was calculated to test
the nerves Of the stoutest heart.
A good crowd drove out in au-
tos and conYeyances while the
street cars were crowded after it
became evident the flights would
be made.
Today should draw the largest
crowd of the week. Every per-
son who has witnessed the
flights has become an enthusiast
and Parmalee has earned the
right to stellar honors in his pro-
fession. Only these who have
seen Parmalee fly can appreciate
the really wonderful exhibitions
which are being given at Shat
tuck Park this week
Yesterday the storm and con
sequential wind prevented the
high altitude ascention but other
wise the flights excelled the day
previous. The crowd today will
have an opportunity of seeing the
airship fly mile high.
! Persons who saw the big avia-
ton meet at Atlantic City when
Curtiss, Brookins, Johnson and
the other supposedly top-notchers
Weed with each other in aerial
feats agree that Parmalee has
given Parkersburg a better per-
Torrance than anything. seen on
the coast. A Parkersburger
who waited two weeks at Bright
on Beach to see a noted opera
tor says yesterdays fine flights
far surpassed anything he saw
there. People who miss seeing
Parmalee will regret it the re-
mainder of their lives.

EDITORIAL COMMENT,
1t is with feeling of extreme satisGac-
ton that the Sentinel is able to announce
that the Hon. John NJ. Hamilton IS the
Democratic nominee for representative in
Congress from the Fourth District.
No man is better known or stands high
er in this district than John Hamilton.
He has won the esteem of the community
by life time of square dealing and fair
play. Furthermore, the groundwork of
his acquain tenceship is the solid one of
character; he has none of the vulgar arts
of the professional mixer and political
'jollier," but is a friend for friendships
sake.
In the profession of!aw John NJ. Ham
Ilton has won a high place. He ranks
among the foremost LAWYERS in The state.
and it is known of him that he never turn
ed Il deaf ear to a worthy cause because it
held forth small hopes of pecuniary re-
ward As member of Congress he will
add to the lustre of West Virginia's name,
and he will eyer have in mind the best in
terests of his constituents.
The time has come when the public well
fare demands the service of stro1g, level
headed men in Congress, men who will
stand by the people, but who will have
sufficient stability Of mind to be immune to
political hysieria and the folly of demago-
gy. 1t seems rs if the nation is approach
ing n crisis. The leaders of oae faction
of the dominant party are foaming and
ranting about the country, striving might
ly to work the public mind into It frenzy.

to so centralize the powers of government

on the other side is gang which has ex-
plotted the governmental policies for their
own financial gain, battling to retain con-
troll. Twin evils irnly, which can be com
batted only by intelligent, sober minded
men unaffliated with the party whose
policies haved plunged the country into

Of the people who would have this nation
governed rs j was intended to be governed
with equal opportunities for all and special
privileges for none, who would eliminate
the aggres ions of organized wealth on the
one side and the devastating fever on the
other. 1t is the best opportunity the
Democratic party has had in half cen
tury to prove its value to the people and
display its ability in statesmonship. The
nomination of John Hamilton shows that
the party in his neighborhood is determin
ed to measure mp to that opportunity
