A Sad Death.

Mr.. T. G.. Xemmerlin. was taken
suddenly i'll at his home near Carme-
ron, and died Of paralysis on the l4th
of February. He was about fifty years
of age and had been most ambi-
tious, faithful and loving husband
and friend. His remains were in
tered at the Cameron cemetery In
the presence Of large circle of
friends anG relatives. We can say
that Mr.. Kemmerlin lived so that he
might help those in need, we can
now remember his cherry smile and
hearty handshake, that made one re-
alize the TACT that in his bosom
there throbbed true, noble and low
ing heart, that was filled with kind
ness for all. He leaves wife and
daughter, two sisters, Mrs. G. e..
Smith of Cameron and Mrs. W. f.
Wipland Of Weatherford, Texas, also
two brothers, Messrs. F. NJ. kemmer-
lin, East Orange and F. f. Pooser

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
POLICEMAN EDWINs IN COLLIs-
ION WITE AUTO.
His Neck Horribly Cut by Glass of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Hope for

Recovery.
mt. w. Hamp Edwins, one Of the
local policemen, came very near los
ing his life yesterday morning, at,
about nine o'clock, by collidiaE with
an automobile driven by Mr.. George
Salley. At the time of this writing,
Mr.. Edwins is resting we'll at his
home on South Russell street, but he
is still in precarious condition.
The accident occurred in front Of
the hardware store Of Mr.. S. A. Black
mon and seems to have been purely
an accident. Mr.. EdWins was riding
upon q bicycle and was coursing to-
ward the Southern depot, returning
to his post of duty from breakfast.
Mr.: Salley was going down Russell
street toward the court house. Il;
seems as if Mr.. Edwins did not see
the automobile, which was running
almost noislessly. Realizing that Mr..
Edwins was going to strike his au-
tomobile, Mr. salley threw upon his
emergency brake, bringing his car 70
stop just as the collision took place.
Mr.. Edwins was thrown upon the en-
CINE of the automobile. his arm
breaking the windshield and his
throat in some way came in contact
with the glass, which cut very deep
ly into the unfortunate officers
throat. The. wound was very Sc
we're one and a few small veins and
arteries were puncture and severed.
Fortunately the large artery coursinS
in close proximity to the wound T"s
not cut, or death would have invari-
ably followed. The flow of blood was
very profuse and brought great weak
ness to the inflicted man.
Mr.. Edwins was taken to the op-
Grating rooms of the Doyle Drug COM
pany and medical attention was rem
dered. The faithful doctors worked
for probably two hours in stopping
the flow of blood, treating the wound
and sewing it up. Mr.. Edwins was
then taken to his home. The pros
poets for Mr.. Edwins' recovery is
good, if no further complications set
in. 49,
lMr. Edwins is one Of the most ef-
ticient policemen upon the local force
and his numerous friends regret his
serious accident and wish for him d
rapid and successful recovery.

rIEESES NOTES.
Death Of Mr.. Pink w. Harley--Town
Growing Rapidly.

Neeses, March 2, Special Mr..
Pink w. Harley Of North died March
1st after six weeks treatment in the
hospital at Colum bia. With no indi-
cations of improvement, he was
brought home the 9th and lived to
the seventh hour of March 1. His
remains were inferred at the old
Amaker cemetery, near his home.
Mr.. Harley was a jovial man and en-
ioyed the blessings of fifty summers.
His wife and five children survive
him; also host Of friends to mourn
his death and sympathize with his
bereaved family.
Mr.. Editor, you ought to see how
busy we farmers are around Neeses
this season. Some Of us planting
corn, some planning. to plant soon
some plowing up the soil and some
blowing it under and for the soils
sake a large per cent of US are soil
ing our hands and overalls with fer
tilizer. .y
Neeses seems to be furnishing or
the people seem to be supplied at
Neeses, with guano, sufficient for the
western half of the grand old coun-
ty. The town got on boom about
year ago when she sold several
thousand dollars worth Of lots; and
she has been booming ever since. In
the near future the residents of
Neeses will enjoy the luxury of sip
ping, using and bathing in waters
of the famous old Boiling Springs
in their homes. Her rise, advance
ment and progress demands our
congratulations.
The good Baptists Of the town
contributed literally to the call Of
aid for a Methodist church in their
midst, Of which will soon be under
way. -,
Now If automobiles count any
thing like prosperity, she's got seven
for or against her. She has two
blacksmiths and other kinds, fine
ginnery plant of 80 bale capacity,
also a modern styled hotel. She has
three rural routes to her postofiice
and a very good postmaster. Her
merchants are liberal hearted and
enterprising younG men. filed with
energy and a hustling spirit. Let's
welcome her, for she's coming.

BOWMAN LETTER.
Farmers Worried Over Delay in Fer
tilizea Shipping.

Bowman, March 6, Special.-The
refusal Of the Southern road allow
ing their cars to go out on the Blake
company's lumber road has created
some conservation among the plant
ofs in the section north of Bowman
through which the road passes or is
being built, This is one of the best
sections adjacent to Bowman and 1t
would be a great convenience to the
farmers in this territory If shipments
could be made. Planting time is al
most ION the heels" of the farmers
now and unless shipments can pc
made with comparative promptness
or a change made in shipping point
the crops planted will be somewhat
late as the result. Shippers are look
ing forward to some solution of the
difficulty or there will be a lot of
dissatisfaction .mong them.
A neat sum was realized from the
entertainment given at the High
School auditorium on Friday evening

HERE MONDAY NIGHT.
Adelaide Thurston in Her Grentest
Success, "lniss Ananias."

Success, "Miss AnaniaS."
Adelaide Thurston, who has many
friends among our theatregoers, will
be the attraction at the Academy OF
Music, Monday night, March 18th.
Miss Thurston comes to us this
season under the management OF
those enterprising young managers,
Cohan and Harris, who have sup
entitled "Miss Ananias," by Cath
entitled 'fMiss Aananias," by Cath
crime Chisolm Cushing which is said
to be quite out of the ordinary anG
by far the best play this delightful
star has ever had.
The action IF the comedy takes
place in the sumptuous summer home
of a wealthy New Yorker, and al
though only one scene is shown it
is so elaborate ard complete that one
of the largest baggage cars Is re-
quired to transport the belongings of
the company. The Thousand and one
little. accessories of a perfectly ap-
pointed living-room are carried, in
Guiding more than fifty pieces of
beautiful pottery, china and bric-a-
brac, used to ,adorn the plate-rail,
cabinets and tables.
The plot. as the title indicates,
deals with lie and its consequences,
and is said to furnish a novel treat
ment Of the feminine habit of telling
harmless fbs. 1t does not, however,
prove that deviations from the strict
paths Of truth invariably bring pun
ishment in the end, because, in the
case Of Miss Ananias her flbbing wins
her a husband Like many lovers
this one is blind, but he becomes so
on account of an automobile acci-
dent. Long before his eyes are op-
ened by skilful surgeon the woman
whom he loves, although he can not
see her, has a series of adventures
that are very amusing to- the audi
ence although they seem serious to
her.
Miss Thurston's managers have
provided her, we are told, with a
company Of unusual excellence in
Guiding such capable players as Au-
gustus Phillips, A. S. Byron, Henry
Carlin, Eric Francis, Marion kerby,
Laura Bennett, Eda Won Buelow and
