FOUND DEAD
ON TRACK

With horrible wound torn in the
side of his head Ed. Miller young
cooper living near the Federal Gene
terry, was found on the tracks of the
| Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in the
eastern part of the city shortly be-
fore last midnight. While the COM
mon superstition last night was that
he had been struck by train there
were circumstances which seemed
to indicate foul play.
G. E. Crawford and another color
ed man, both of whom live in I'm
iontown, stumbled across the uncon-
scious form of Miller while they were
on their way home. They ran back
to the G. & o. station and notified
the telegraph operator, and he Motif
ed police headquarters. Officers SUIT
ton, Long, Forsythe and Douglass at
once went to the scene of the acct
dent and at first supposing Miller
dead they summoned Coroner M. j.
Payne.
The place where the injured man
was found is about a stone throw
from where the lines of the two
railroads cross. On one side of his
head was a horrible cut from which
his brains oozed forth. So far as
the first examination revealed there
was not another mark on his body,
! while his clothes were not at all
| disarranged nor did they appear as
| if Miller had been hit by train.
These circumstances with others led
to the suspicion that the young man
might have been assaulted.
On a ladder which some one man.
aged to find after search for a
stretcher had been in progress for
nearly an hour Miller was taken to
the Kings Daughters Hospital, where
an operation was performed in an
effort to save his life. He is in a
desperate condition and chances are
that he viii die.
Three trains passed through at
about the hour when Miller is sup
posed to have met with the accident,
fast train No. 1, due at 1875, and
two freights, one going east and the
other west. The brakemen of one
of the freights was among the first
persons to come across the body.
Miller is hardly more than twenty
five years old, and is married, his
wife being a daughter of Lee Greav-
er, with whom the couple live. The
colored men knew Miller as soon as
the. rays of the brakeman's lantern
revealed his features, and letters
found in his coat pocket completed
the identification. Miller has been
employed by various cooperage con-
Germs about Stauntop, and is we'll
known.
At a. m. it was stated at the
hospital that Miller was still alive.
1t was believed, however, that he
could not live till daylight.

BIC NEW INDUSTRY
NOW IN OPERATION
FAVORABLE BEGINNING
Plant of Staunton Cooperage Com
pany, When Going in Full, Will
Turn Out 1000 Barrels Daily

That the apple crop of this sec
ton will be amply protected by bar
rels of local manufacture is now a
reality, and, what is more to the
commercial reputation of the town
the new plant of the Staunton Coop
erage Company, when fully equip
ped, will be one of the most COM
plete in the State. Incorporated by
a compay consisting mostly of Staun-
ton people with maximum capital
of $4,000, the following officers will
guide the destiny of the new concern:
Chester Goodall, president; Watson
|P. Gooch, vice-president; W. A.
Payne, treasurer; Re Bender, secre-
tary, and J. A. Bel, manager. The
manager, though originally from
Rockingham county, is well known
in Staunton where he has had COOP
erage experience of about 23 years.
Prior to the destruction of his plant
by fire, he conducted a barrel max
I ing business, about one mile east OF
town, under the firm name of Bell &
Son.
On Tuesday the 18th the first bar
rels were turned out and since then
they have been accommodating at the
rate of 400 day. During the heavy
season, the factory will employ about
rs men with capacity of from 500
to 1000 finished barrels daily.
To Staunton merchants this will
mean another payroll amounting to
nearly $500 per week, while to the
fruit-growers, whose number is in
creasing every day, it will mean the
economy and convenience of a home
barrel supply. At present the com.
pany plans to devote its entire time
to the making of apple barrels
Later on crates and boxes will be
produced as we'll as flour barrels
It's market will extend over a good
part of this state and into the east
ern portion of West Virginia.
| Pending the completion of the big
four-story ware house, vacant-ware
houses in town are being used. The
dimensions of this new building will
be 70 feet by 1870 feet, thus adding
about $4,000 square feet additional
floor space or a storage capacity OF
10000 to $4,000 empty barrels
Though we'll under way, this big
tsructure will hardly be complete be-
fore the early part of August.

Rest you safe on my breast, 0 child.
Many shepherd, many king,

A SOUTHERN NEGLIGENCE.

Every year the most desirable
class of white immigrants land in
New York by hundreds of thou
sands-Germans, Swedes, Scotch
men, Irishmen, Englishmen, north
Italians and Danes, to say nothing
of French, Belgians and Holland
ers. These make up a class whose
predecessors have done much to-
ward building up our country, and
particularly the West. The de-
generates of these races and the
degenerate South Italians and
thos known in the language of
the pavement as "dagoes," have
huddled into the cities. They
have formed colonies and the indi-
viduals composing them fail to
grasp the spirit of Americanism,
and thus furnish breeding ground
for vicious and criminal associa-
tons.
1t is unjust to judge all Italians
by these who have left their coun-
try for their country's marked good.
Those who have come from north
of Rome are the people who made
United Italy and have made ma
ton the peer of any in Europe.
We cannot have too many ofthem
and Virginia should try to defect
this stream to her vacant lands
where soil and climate are similar
to those at home.
So soon as the newly arrived
inmigrants arrive at Ellis Island,
immigrants from the Western and
Northwestern States meet them
with offers of employment and
and transportation. To those hav-
ing means, they offer cheap farm
ing lands and paint the attractions
of their region IL: glowing colors.
The South is represented as a
sun-scorched district ofunbearable
heat with a constant race war
characterized by lawlessness and
rioting, and as most natural re-
suit, the country from Kansas to
Seattle is being filled up with the
most desirable population that
comes to our shores while the
South is neglected.
Why do the Southern States act
with such an almost criminal neg
ligence, not only in failing to direct
immigration of clean, strong,
moral people to cur region
with its unsurpassed soil and eli
mate, but in allowing untrue and
injurious stories about our physi-
cal and social status to 60 unchal-
lenged?
Our railway systems are ready
and willing to aid-indeed most of
them have Immigration bureaus
of their own. Experience has
changed the minds of many who
have gone to Minnesota, Wyo-
ming and other points in the North
West, and they are removing to
the Eastern Carolinas and Georgia.
The letters of these to their home
people will gradually have effect.
Our Southern states should bestir
themselves and direct the stream
at the fountain, either by sending
immigration agents abroad, or ia
any rate to Ellis Island.

DOMESTIC HAPPINESS

The Rev. DR.. Henry M. Whar-
ton in a recent sermon laid down
a number of .naxims intended to
produce connubial bliss when he
states with the pride of an original
discoverer, that if married men
would notice no women save their
respective wives, the domestic
steam radiator would silently view
more happiness; he speaks in
spired truth.
When he advises that at inter-
walls, the husband tells his wife
that she is the most beautiful
woman in the world, regardless of
the facts in the case, he is on good
but not quite so sure ground. If
she be of the silly, hattery, loving
type, eagerly devouring whatever
gratifies her vanity, the Doctor S
advice may produce a temporary
kind Of happiness; but if she knows
the statement to be false, as it
must be in every case but one, the
legal motto False in one, false in
alp will come to mind and she
will doubt the sincerity of any
statement he may make. Unfor-
tunately wives are too prone to do
this anyway, and to encourage
this tendency is unwise.
He further advises men to cease
attendance on lodges, clubs and
the like and stay at home. This
is unquestionably good as far as it
goes; but he does not mention pink
teas, bridge parties, women's clubs
or suffragette meetings, SO we sup
pose these designations add to
matrimonial bliss.
But really there is one little
thing that both parties may do
that will lessen our divorce ratio.
If a man constantly tells his wife
that she is handsomer than Max
inc Elliot he is planting the seeds
of an insane vanity if his wife be
really pretty woman, or is arous-
ing distrust or perhaps contempt
of him by the obvious falsity OF
the statement.
However, when he comes
home, tired with the days work,
and he will notice that the house
is clean, the children bright-faced
and neat, and the evening meal is
appetizing, well cooked and served,
and will mention it; and will tell
her of some success or common
dation he has won during the day,
or of some depression that he has
met bravely, a woman's deep love
will be aroused and he is dearer
than all the world.
Let her tell of her struggles, not
fretfully but cheerfully;tell of what
Mary and Johnnie have been do
ing, sit by his side with her head
on his great broad shoulder and
his strong arm nesting around her
in quiet mutual appreciation of
one another's trials and one an
others struggles,
Sand the cares that infeSt the day,
Will furl their tents like the Arabs,
and as silently steal away"

AT THE DAYS CLOSE.

From the Pail NJ all Gazette,
1t is too late, dear, for the hour
hath past.
Dawn, with its high desire, and
thirsty noon
Have brought a WEAKNESS that
deepens fast:
1t will be twilight soon.
And yet our love hath not delud-
ed US:
Its pains and hunger still have
been its crown:
Not in regretful cloud, but lumin-
The sun sinks slowly down,
We need not say that life was all
deceit:
We may not say that all was
want and doubt:
See, the low rays are still around
our feet
While the first star comes out.

WILL SUPREME COURT
CORRECT The ERRORS?
Question Has Arisen in Con.
nGCtiOn With New Laws

Atlanta, Sept. IA vital point has
just)been discovered in connection with
the apparent emascuIation of material
parts of the game law, the reappor-
tionment Of law and other bills through
the errors of copying clerks.
1t is stated on competent authority
that the Georgia supreme court has
the right to correct those errOrs-nOt
Immediately by ging down into the sec
rotary of states office and changing
the wording of the law, but by con-
STRUNG them when test cases finally
come up as meaning what the Iegisla-
ture originally intended they should
mean.
There are several decision in Geor-
gia bearing directly on the point, and
this power of the court goes so far
that it can even declare that 1911
means 1910" if it is proven the 1911
was a clerical mistake.
The direct meaning of this fact in
Connection with the general game law
is that if the wardens arrest a man for
shooting wild turkey hens and prove il
on him, they can convict him in the
lower court with the certainty that the
supreme court will sustain the convic-
ton. The law was changed by the
clerks error to mean that hunters
could shoot all the wild turkey hens
they wanted to until 1916, but it was
intended to mean that they could not
shoot turkey hens at all prior to 1916,
and this is what the supreme court VIII
hold thelaw does mean in a test case.
1t is further believed that if the peo-
pie of Atlanta go ahead and hold their
city charter election, holding that the
law means 1910" taxes instead of
1911 taxes" the supreme court will
hold that election valid.
1t is believed, in the same way, that
if the eight congressional district had
an election for congress this fall Put
nam county could vote in that election,
even though the letter of the law, writ
ten in error, puts it in the seventh.
