BOY SHOT DOWN BY HUNTER

Forty pupils of the school taught by
Miss Mamie Fugh, on the main road be-
tween Clarendon and Ballston, Va. 4,
near Alexandra, during the noon hour
Tuesday were thrown into panic when
Edwin Murray, 10 years old, was shot
down by a charge of birdshot from the
gun of hunter in strip of woods near
the school. The identity of the hunter
has not been learned.
The children were playing at hide
and-seek and young Murray ran in the
direction of the woods The explosion
of a gun was heard. The Murray boy
threw up his hands and dropped to the
ground. Miss Fugh went to his aid,
carrying the boy into the schoolhouse.
DIR. Welburn treated the boy and then
advised that he be sent to Georgetown
University Hospital. The trip to Wash
ngtOn was made on a Falls Church
electric car. The boy was struck in the
abdomen. and his condition is serious.
An operation will probably. be perform
ed.
The boy is a son of J. Irvine Murray,
contracting builder of Ballston and
Washington.
The Virginia authorities are doing
everything possible to find the man who
fired the shot, who probably was igno-

One of the hottest congressional

First district where Cocks, Colonel

While nothing like final or authori-
tative congressional figures can be
given. the indications are that the
house will be Democratic by a very
small majority. perhaps as small as
from ten to twelve.

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.

TUESDAY = El.EN lO.\S.
The results of yesterdays election
look like a Democratic landslide
throughout the country, the first for
eighteen years. New York, New
Jersey. Massachusetts,, Ohio and
Connecticut have changed their po-
litical complexion and have elected
Democratic governors. while the
next House of Representatives will
be Democratic.
There are several important con
illusions to be drawn from the result
|. That the country has had enough
of Roosevelt, and repudiates his
New Nationalism and all his other
isms. He is clearly , regarded as
dangerous.
2. The people have clearly repudiat-
ed the Payne-Aldrich tariff measure
and regard it as a prime cause Of the
high cost Of living.
8. The result in Ohio taken in con-
neetion with the results elsewhere
cannot be viewed in any other light
than as discrediting Mr.. Taft and
his administration,
4. While the Democrats cannot be
held responsible for any unwise leg
islation during the next two years.
the Senate remaining Republican,
the success in 1912 depends very
largely upon their attitude toward
and conduct of legislative matters
during the next two years.
GOOD ROADS IN THE SOUTH.
The Washington Times is authOri-
ty for the somewhat surprising
statement that the South is perhaps
making more progress at the present
time than any other section of the
country in the matter Of building
good roads and that she will prOba-
bly, outstrip the North if the present
pace continues. The statement is
based on reports received from tour
lists travelling by automobiles
through the South. who are enthu-
siastic over the work already accom-
phshed and that being done. The
New York to Savannah route for
automobiles is said to be attracting
thousands of tourists and the people
in the country and small towns along
the route are reaping a harvest from
the wealthy travellers who choose
this method Of going South. All Of
which should be read with interest
by our people and should spur them
on to extra efforts towards building
permanent roads. This immediate
country is or ought to be interested
in the Washington to Richmond
route and the county authorities Of
Prince William, Stafford, Caroline
and Hanover should see to it that
the roads most suitable for this
route in their respective counties
are improved and made passable,
which is not the case at this time.
Spotsylvania has already recognized
the necessity Of action and has acted,
but these other counties do not seem
to realize the money that these i'm
provements would bring into their
confines. With a good automobile
road from Washington to Richmond
thousands of tourists would pass
over it. stopping at various points
along the line; the country would be
developed, farms improved and a
general betterment would take place.
We trust that this matter will be
taken up and something done along
the line suggested.
