the jury In the case of r. e. Fillingim,
Of Bluff Springs. who was tried yes
terday in the court of record on the
charge of assault with intent to MUIR
der, returned verdict finding the de-
PENDANT not guilty.
Fillingim was charged with having
assaulted G. E. Stubs at the home of
the defendant. There were q number
Of witnesses and the examination of
them consumed considerable time
The testimony showed that Stubs
had been a witness In some case
against the mother-in-law OF Fillingim
some time ago, and 1t was the theory
OF the prosecution that this was the
cause of the assault. Stubs testified
that Fillingim and himself had been
friendly until the night OF the trouble
and that F1llingim had invited him to
his house to take a drink, but that as
soon as he got there he claimed that
Fillingim had attacked him and had
made him get down on his knees to
apologize for something which he knew
nothing about.
The defendant was represented by
Hon. Chas. Fl. Laney and Scott M
Loftin conducted the prosecution.

An unfortunate accident occurred

An unfortunate accident occurred
Sunday noon at John Holm's place
between here and Cambria. About
ten young men started out on a
hunting trip Sunday forenoon, and
reaching Holm's farm went into one
of the shanties for rest. Herman
Adams. one of the party. remained
outside for the purpose of cleaning
his gun. In the act of taking out
shell, it exploded and the shots
went through the boards of the
shanty, striking Norman Anderson
in the face. One of his cheeks was
badly perforated by the metal and
two shots penetrated the windpipe.
The unfortunate young man was
Immediately taken to the local hos
pital, where he was put under medi-
cal care. According to latest re-
ports. he is out of danger and will
recover in a short time. There is
mo particular blame attached to
anyone of the party for this sad oc-
curence and most Of all Mr.. Adams
feels deeply grieved over the affair.

was in front of the corn harvester
fixing a broken rod. The wind

The machine was fortunately thrown

success and the grain wheel ran
over his chest. He was quite badly

the school was among the best for

Mr.. Critchett said that the people
should begin at once to develope a
manual training department. 1t

but the tax payers would be we'll

This was TOO much for the town

turned in a fire alarm and started
to scatter the thousand students on
the campus. When the fire depart

stood at the fire plugs and refused

The Road to Success.

Just tack this up somewhere where
you can see IT.:
Success consists in getting out of
yourself everything that's in you. 1t
does not consist in doing almost quite
as much or little more than the 9th
err fellow What the other fellow does
doesn't amount to dent in door
knob so far as you are concerned.
The fact that he succeeds by laying
an Atlantic cable, building an Eiffel
tower. inventing wireless telegraphy or
cornering the worlds supply of oil
doesn't make you n failure because you
haven't got enough ready money to
buy an automobile. You're successful
when you put to some useful purpose
every ounce of energy, every grain OF
gray matter. every mite of muscle that
you've got You're successful when
you've developed all there is TO YOU
and have given that to the woEd.-

HOW TO LEARN TO FLY.
Several Schools of Aviation Have Been
Started In Europe.

Where can ! buy an aeroplane, and
what will il cost me?
New machines cost from 5000 to
$500, although the Santos Dumont
Demoiselle can be bought for $1,000.
In importing machines into this coun-
try there are extra charges. duty.
freight, etc. which amount to 30 per
cent Of the original cost. So much for
the machine.
But this is not all. You must be pre-.
