TOOK HIS OWN LIFE
WITH OUNCE LAUDANUM
David Knott, OF Haynesville, the
Victim-It Was His Sec.
Ond Attempt.

AS the result of having taken
about an ounce of laudanum with
suicidal intent, David Knott, high
ly respected citizen of Haynesville,
Ohio county, died Wednesday night
about 9 o'clock, at the home of his
son, LATE Knott.
Mr.. Knott was about 65 years of
age, and his mind had been unbal-
anced for some time. He has been
living in the Haynesville neighbor-
hood for about 20 years, having
moved there from Indiana.
This is the second time that Knott
attempted to take his life. About
one month ago he procured bottle
of laudanum at Whitesville and
drank most of the contents, but for
tunately his condition was discover
ed in time to save his life. He made
another effort to secure laudanum at
Fordsville, but in this he was I'M
successful. About ten days ago Mr..
Knott was in greensboro, and it is
believed that while there he pur-
chased the laudanum that ended his
life.
Mr.. Knott took the laudanum on
Tuesday night, and he lay in a stu
por all day Wednesday. All efforts
to arouse him were unavailing, and
he died Wednesday night. He is
survived by one daughter, Mrs. En-
ma Mcdaniel, of Arkansas, and one
son, Mr.. LATE Knott, of Haynesville.
The funeral took place at o.
clock Thursday afternoon from the
residence, interment being in the
Haynes burying ground.

MASKED MEN ACT As
AMATEUR SURGEONS
MutiIate Indiana Farmer Acquit-
ted OF Grave Crime Against
Own Daughter.

North Vernon, Ind, April 20.-A
mob of twenty-five men quietly went
to the home of Ephraim Tyler, of
Campbell township, nine miles
southeast of this city, early this
morning and calling Tyler to the
door, seized him and carried him in
his night clothes out into the yard.
There he was tied and held fast
while with a sharp penknife he was
badly mistreated.
Afterward he was carried into the
house and the men disappeared as
quietly as they came. Scarcely a
word was spoken and all were care
fully disguised.
Tyler, who is forty-fve years of
age, was recently acquitted of a Sc
rious charge preferred by his daugh-
ter, who told her story before the
grand jury. She is the mother of
two children, and many believe that
she told the truth before the grand
jury.
Feeling ran high after the ac-
quittal of Tyler and there was talk
of mob violence for several days. At
ter the mistreatment of the man, he
was sent into the house and later a
member of the mob sent physi-
clan to look after him. He has a
wife and several grown sons and
daughters.

A HOT DISH SET
FOR JUDGE O'REAR
BY Major A. T. Wood. Pen
sion Agent.
HE DECLARES FORE. 7. FRANKS
For GOYernOr-SayS Question
Is One of anarchy or
Law and Order.
HE is NOT A PRoHBITroNIsT

Maj. A. T. Wood, Pension agent
for the Louisville district, in a state
ment issued recently, takes q shot
at Judge E. c. O'Rear, candidate
for the Republican nomination for
Governor, and declares himself a
supporter of the candidacy of E. T.
Franks.
"He did not look over the back
fence and say that you could not
suppress lawlessness with bayo-
nets" he says, telling of Mr.. Franks
attitude during that period Of Ken
tucky's history when the so-called
night riders were destroying prop
erty and committing murder, and re-
ferring to a speech said to have been
delivered by Judge O'Rear in an eff
fort to down lawlessness.
Further along, he says: "Above
all and beyond all, we ought to nom
mate a man who will not allow
night riders, murderers and scoun-
drels to intimidate whole communi-
ties and take the laws in their own
hands,"
Maj. Wood, in opening his state
ment, calls attention to the fact that
he has participated in every cleo
ton in Kentucky, both State and
National, since 1860, and voted the
Republican ticket from Lincoln to
Taft.
In that part of his statement re-
fering to night riders, he says:
when the crusade began in Ken
lucky by certain lawless bands that
were committing murders, destroy
ing property, burning barns, tear
ing up tobacco beds and driving men
from the State, and when Governor
Wilson ordered troops to the coun-
ties where these lawless gangs were
operating, he (Franks) did not look
over the back fence and say that you
could not suppress lawlessness with
bayonets, but went into these coun-
ties, taking his life almost in his
hands, and denounced this lawless-
ness and expressed himself in favor
of using all means possible that a
Governor could command to put
down this lawlessness and bring
about peace and order.
"If there has been anything that
the Republican party has been in
favor of, it has been for the enforce
ment of the law, and l would rather
see the party beaten for Governor
and for all other offices than to see
any man elected that was not in ia
vor of using all means at his COM
mand, even the bayonet, to suppress
these lawless gangs"
Maj. Wood discusses Mr.. Franks
attitude on number of State and
national issues. On the liquor ques-
ton he says:
Il know he is in favor of local op-
ton and the county unit law was
expressed in our platform at the
last election.
'He is not a Prohibitionist and
does not believe you can pass any
law to control mems appetites. He
believes in every community and
county being free to regulate the
sale of whiskey in its own way"
In closing. Maj. Wood says:
''Mr. Franks has been a strong
supporter of President Taft. He has
been a strong supporter of Gov.
Wilson's administration; and es-
pecially has he supported and in
dorsed Gov. Wilson's acts in trying
to put down lawlessness in Ken
lucky. No man ought to be elected
Governor who is not in favor of in
dorsing the action of the Governor.
at is a question of anarchy, or
law and order"

he is capable of along the lines of
connected thought and real elo-
quence; and the subject was left for
future determination. Still, there
was a large inquiry as to the identi-
ty, of Mr. Smith; and it was speedily
discovered that he had every reason
to feel that, after waiting patiently
for two years with much burning
language within him, he could hand
the Senate something that would
make it sit up and take notice.
Ellison DuRant Smith, as all shall
know, is the colleague of B R Till
man in the United States Senate.
He lives in Florence, South Carolina,
and is the son of minister. At
college he won gold medals in de-
bate mark that! science and liter
ature in his sophomore, junior and
senior years. He served in the Leg
islature from 1896 to 1900 and began
what, in his autobiography, he calls
the Cotton Movement, in 1891. He
finally became field agent and gen.
eral organizer for the Southern Cot
ton Association, his territory cover
ing the entire South and his service
lasting from January, 1905, to June,
1908, when he began his race for
the Senate. He was chosen at the
primaries in September, receiving,
as he points out, the largest major
ity ever given to a candidate for
this office in the State.
That, of course. is interesting, but
has not so much bearing on the case
as further statement, which reads:
Became a national figure on &C.
count of of addresses at New Or
leans, Birmingham, Dallas and
Shreveport" Clear as day-now,
isn't it?-why Senator Smith desired
to let the Senate hear what he was
capable of? A thoroughly justif-
able ambition, say I. And he did
so. And, mark you, a highly de-
scriptive middle name-that of the
Senator's: DuRant. That's what he

Whereupon, the Senate being in
consideration of the bill to create a
tariff board, the day being Thurs
day, March the second, and the hour
one of the clock in the afternoon.
the Honorable Ellison DuRant Smith
arose and, proceeding to a conven-
lent station at the end of the center
aisle nearest the main entrance,
turned to the Republicans who hap
pened to be in their accustomed
places and let loose the long yell.
Presently, when Mr. Smith was in
the midst Of an eloquent and appar-
eptly important paragraph concern
ing raw materials, which he was de-
livering with great declamatory eff
feet and with suitable gestures and
elocutionary eloquence, the venera-
be Shelby M Cullum arose. also, and
waited composedly till Mr. Smith had
enunciated the immortal doctrine
that the producer of raw material,
under the law of trade, is forced to
sell at world prices if he produces
sufficient to meet the needs not only
of his people but of the world at
large. Judging this a good point at
which to separate Mr. Smith from
his flow of thought, the aforesaid
venerable Shelby NJ Cullum asked
mildly that Mr. Smith rest his larynx
for time and allow the Senate to
go into executive session.
Mr. Smith paused and tapped his
brow. Il YIELD" he assented, al
though l am not near through. This
is the first opportunity l have had
to give my views on governmental
affairs. have been a novitiate in
this body and have tried to follow
the old-estabiished rule that you
have to be here two years before
you speak at length: and | was de-
sirous of giving this body thorough
sample of just what | was capable
of when | was In the Spirit on the
Lords day'-and | am today"
The still venerable Shelby M Cul-
lom smiled benignly at MIR Smith
and asked for the question. 1t was
put and an executive session was
declared. At the conclusion of that
Executive session Mr. Smith resumed
both his station in the center aisle
and his speech. From this very
moment it was evident that what
Mr. Smith had said before his inter.
ruption was as mere sounding brass
and tinkling cymbals to the real
thunders Of eloquence he had in re-
serve. Having stated, as he did,
that he intended to showing the Sen,
ate what he was capable of, he
showed the senate what he was ca
pable of. 1t was after the Cullom
break into the stream that he first
broke into poetry; and it was some
few minutes after he broke into
poetry that he began to get really
good-before he began to show off,
so to speak.
Still, he had the goods. There is
no DENYING that. He had the real,
standard, genuine, time-tried ora
torical goods; and he laid them
down where all, and particularly
those Republicans who were not at
luncheon, might see and hear. He
was no frivolous youngster, butting
! Into a debate with a line of uncon-
ventional ideas or producing new
and untried figures of speech. Not

so. Here was an orator who knew
the good old stuff the stuff that
always brings 'em to their feet and
sets 'em cheering and crying.
His first sample was from the
time-tried and always effective
mother" bin. Dashing back the
hair from his forehead, he raised
both hands high in the air and let
go with few lines of bleeding and
suffering hearts-and then to it
thus; I want the Senate to remem-
Der one thing. Thank Godl The
love that mother and father have
for their children is not measured
by the number of dollars they
the fathers and mothers, not the
children-"own. In spite of the
calico dress; in spite of the work
distorted hands; in spite of the
scanned cheeks, from which the
bloom of beauty has been smitten
by the cruel hand of poverty and
adversely; in spite of the stopped
form-thank God! underneath that
calico dress, despite all those physi-
cal distortions, the poverty-stricken
mother loves the bright darlings
about her feet with as glorious and
divine love as ever burned in the
heart of a queen"
The listening Senators, there to be
shown by Mr. Smith just what he
could do, took this bale and marked
it Exhibit A." waiting interestedly
for the next sample. The wait was
not long. In few moments Mr.
Smith swept gallantly to his second
demonstration, which was a fancy
exhibit of farm rhetoric. Depre-
eating the cry of Back to the
farm!" Mr. Smith inquired passion
ately: In a word, Mr. President, in
any great wealth-producing profess
sions, vocations or avocations, have
you heard any man clamor: Back
to the lawp Back to medicine"
Back to the railroad businessn
Back to the great manufacturing
enterprises? No. The cry has
been: Back to the farmn We need
a broader foundation of bleeding
hearts and poverty-stricken bodies
in order that our velvet-shod feet
may walk a little smoother
1t was universally. conceded BY
the listening Senate that the found
alton of bleeding hearts for velvet
shod feet was pretty hot stuff; and
it was put down as Exhibit B."
Spurred by this evident approval, Mr.
Smith next showed some prime
"plain-people" frills. He was at
his best by this time, making the
welkin ring so rapidly it sounded
like an alarm clock. Thank God!"
he said, Il am a representative di-
rect from the people-from the
field. l have no other profession,
vocation or avocation; and yet, be-
cause | am not trained in the law to
split hairs and to differentiate to
the shadow of shade the supreme
courts interpretations of the law,
some hear me indifferently." There
was a murmer of protest at this.
All were hearing him with great
delight. Continuing: The people
themselves are no more competent
to understand these abstrusities
than l; and you have no right to
make law that the great rank and
file, though they may be uneducated,
cannot understand"
Proceeding passionately along
these lines, Mr. Smith came again to
what evidently he considered his
strongest exhibit of what he is capa-
BILE of, for he recurred to the origi-
nal line of spellbinding. Picturing
the dismal conditions that surround
ed young man and his wife, who
certainly in poor luck as farmers if
