Here certain maxms he spoke. Their quaint wisdom
gives view of him.
'sTreat with at fit times about business said the
immortal G. W.
Don't talk shop out of hours we paraphrase.
In these sayings we glimpse the real Geo. Washington.
Let your countenance be pleasant but in serious
tiers somewhat grave"
'sShOw not yourself glad at the misfortune of another
though he were your enemy
In visiting the sick do not presently play the physician
If you be not knowing therein
Undertake not to teach your equal in the art he him
self processes; it savors OF arrogancy"
"When man does all he can though it succeeds not
well, blame not him that did it,
Be not hasty to believe flying reports to the dsparage
ment of anyone"
Play not the peacock looking everywhere about you
see if you well decked.''
Associate yourself with Of good quality if you
esteem your reputation for it is better to be alone than
In bad company"
Detract not from others, but neither be excessive in
commending
eco not thther where you know not whether you shall
be welcome not Give not advice without being asked;
and when desired, do it briefly"
'.aze not the marks bemishes Of Others and ask
not how they came.''
'sThnk before you speak,
Undertake not what you cannot perform but be
full to keep your promise
''Speak no evil of the absent"
''When you speak of God let it be seriously in
and HONOR
''Let your recreatons be manful, not SINFUL

COLORED MAN
KILLED ON R. R.

Lacy Welch, colored driver for
Stewart Showers, was killed on the
Norfolk & Western near the brewery
about 1 o'clock Sunday morning.
WEIGH had gone to Pocahontas for
q supply of refreshments, and on his
return while beating a freight, he
fell under the wheels and was literal
ly ground to bits. When the freight
arrived on the yard, the car inspector
found hood on the wheels, and a de-
tail was sent back to investigate.
Remnants of the remains We're found
near the brewery siding. On the train
were found grip filed with whis-
key and a sack full o; beer bottles,
evidently the property of Welsh.
1t is thought that Welch was intox-
icated and that his condition is re.
sponsibe for his losing his life.
Charles Thompson, colored brake.
man on the Norfolk K Western took
charge of the remains and sent them
to relatives in Lynchburg today.

EDITOR SMYTH
IS ATTACKED

Harry NJ. Smythe editor OF the
Pocahontas Headlight and ex-minis-
ter to Hayti and San Domingo, was
attacked on the streets of Pocahontas
Saturday night by Postmaster w. L..
Mustard on account OF an arraign-
ment of the Slemp method touching
the Pocahontas postoffice printed in
the last issue of the Headlight.
Mr.. Smythe who is in the city to-
day alleges that Slemp's henchman
has been in the postcrice for eleven
years and agreed ovel a year ago to
retire in favor of an applicant backed
by the Consolidated company and the
other business interests. II is under
stood that Mr.. Smythes article is only

AUTOS EXCEED
SPEED LIMIT

Complaints are heard from various
sources that the automobile owners
OF BIuefeld pay little or no heed to
the speed regulations OF the city. The
limit is ten miles an hour, but the
machines are run, according to gem
eral opinion at a very much higher
speed, especially among those who
have recently acquired cars.
II is thought among many that in
order to prevent accidents, the city
should see that the law is complied
with.
