SERIOUSLY HURT IN RUNAWAY
Negro Boy on a Bicycle Frightened
Mr.. j. w. Weston's Mule.
Accident Nearly Fatal.


Mr.. ]. w. Weston, a well-known
young farmer of near Bronwood,
was the victim of an accident We'd
nesday morning that came near cost
ing him his life.
Mr.. Weston was leaving Dawson
on a load of hay, and on Lee street
met negro boy, a porter of one of
the business houses of the city, on
bicycle. He waved to the boy to
stop, as his mule was frightened, but
the negro paid no heed and came
rushing by. The mule gave a lunge
and ran against a telephone pole,
throwing Mr., Weston violently
against the pole, and rendering him
unconscious for sometime.
The injured man was removed to
the residence of Mr.. T. w. Martin,
and for day or two it was feared
that his injuries would prove fatal.
Monday he had recovered sufficiently
to be removed to his home, and the
indications now are that he will soon
be able to be out again.
The identity of the boy on the hi
cycle has not been learned.

in Their Window.
We note with much interest the
way some of our enterprising local
dealers are putting forth every eff
fort this spring to make their stores
attractive. This week the Dawson
Hardware Co., whose progressive
policy has been strongly shown this
spring by their large, attractive adj
vertisements in our columns, have a
fine window devoted entirely to house
paint.
On close inspection one finds not
only the usual display of paint, but
long cards showing rows of houses
in new and handsome combinations
of colors for exterior painting. An
attractive window border brightens
the appearance of the whole store
and draws much attention from the
passers-by. 1t attractively illus
trates how easily and well any shah
by surface in or about the home can
be fixed up.
The Dawson Hardware Co. de-
serve much credit for this window,
and we are sure it will prove of much
benefit in reminding people of the
many things around their homes that
can easily be beautified at house
cleaning time.

AUTO AND HORSE COLLIDE
Animal Was Killed Almost Instant
ly' Buggy Smashed Into Splint-
ers and Machine Damaged.


An accident on Main street, near
Crouch's stables, early Sunday even
ing resulted in horse being instant
~ killed, buggy wrecked, an au-
tomoblle damaged and negro who
was in the buggy being badly hurt.
IL was caused by a collision be-
tween the horse and buggy and the
automobile, and seems to have been
largely due to the driver of the horse
turning out on the wrong side of the
street.
Mr.. T. B. Raines was returning
from his farm in his automobile, and
in the machine with him were Messrs.
Earl Geise and D. c. Peddy. On Main
street they saw a horse and buggy
approaching, and the machine, which
was going in southern direction.
turned to the right of the street. The
driver of the buggy, who proved to
be Nose Caldwell, one of the negro
street hands, was going north and
turned to the left of the street, and
the collision occurred before Mr..
Raines could change the course of
his car and avoid a smash-up.
Mr.. Raines had Caldwell put in
his machine, took him home and
summoned DR.. Gardner, who, after
an examination, stated that the ex-
tent of the injuries was a broken
bone below the knee and some severe
and painful bruises on the body. The
injuries were not serious, and the
indications are that Caldwell will be
all right again in short while.
Caldwell is said to have been con-
siderably under the influence of whis-
key, which probably accounts for him
turning to the wrong side of the
street and causing the collision. Two
pints of whiskey and pistol that be-
longed to him were found among the
ruins of the buggy.

Finally Restored.
(By Union Associated Press.)

Wy OTIVU tASSOCIdISQ FreSSs)
Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 2S.-A spe.
cial to the Gazette from Eldorado,
Ark. says: A race riot which threat
ened to wipe out an entire negro res
idence section in this town occurred
here Saturday night following the
shooting from ambush of three white
men, one of whom was fatally wound
ed. The damage was restricted to
the partial wrecking of the interior of
a barber shop from which the negroes
fired on the three white men. Acting
on orders Of Governor Donaghey, the
local militia company have been pa
trolling the streets. At late hour
tonight there are still a number Of
citizens, heavily armed, on the
streets, but there are no negroes left

worst of the trouble is over. The
three white men injured in the shoot.
ing, which occurred at $50 o'clock
Saturday night, are: Roscoe Mont

do; shot through the left side of his
breast and also in the bowels. 1t is

the foot.
Oscar Reynolds, brother, also q
farmer, shot in the foot. -
If any negroes were killed CT
wounded in the battle at the barocr
shop, it is not known.
The trouble is said to have started
Saturday afternoon. Edgar Reynolds,
one of the men shot, was said to have
been talking to couple of white men
on the sidewalk when negro, a
stranger here, walked up.
According to the story of the AFFAIR
the black deliberately insulted the
white men, arousing the anger of Rey-
nolds who started to whip him, when
a deputy sheriff interviewed and stop
ped further trouble. The negro then
walked on down the street.
At $3.50 o'clock, Reynolds, his
brother of Roscoe Montgomery were
walking to a restaurant when they
passed a negro barber shop and pool

SHARP CRITICISM
FOR HITCHCOCK

Washington, Feb. 28-Postmaster
General Hitchcock was severely criti-
cised Saturday by Representative
Sims of Tennessee in a speech in the
house because of Mr.. Hitchcock's
statement that the net loss on rural
free delivery for the last fiscal year
was $8,OOO,OOO.
MI. Sims charged that Mr.. Hitch
cock failed to credit the rural service
with a saving to the government of
about $4,OOO,OOO annually by a dis
continuance Of star mail routes dis
placed by rural routes, also with a
saving of $1,OOO.OOO by discontinuance
of postoffices on these star routes.
Mr.. Sims also said Mr.. Hitchcock
credited the rural service only with
the collection of mail made on the
routes, and not with any part of the
mail delivered.

whole, has not yet gotten back to the
efficiency that was it's in 1860. This
unfortunate situation fastened the all

was difficult for the second genera.
