Supporting the Pedestrian

Automobiles must respect the
pedestrians right as we'll as the
letter of the laws. This is the
gist of the sweeping decision
handed down by the Massa-
chusetts Supreme Court.
The case in question involved
responsibility for the death of a
newsboy. The defendant claim
ed that he was driving not more
than eight miles an hour and that
he sounded his horn and this
testimony was supported by some
witnesses and contradicted by
others. The Supreme Court, dis
posing the first claim, says:
THE statute then in force,
which was similar to the present
one, did not relieve the driver of
the automobile exercising reason
able care to avoid injuring other
travellers with equal right on the
public ways
AS for the second point it rules
against the defense by asserting
that not-even the loud blowing
OF the horn would give to the mo-
tor vehicle any exclusive right of
way or relieve the driver from
the duty of proceeding at a rea-
sonable rate of speed and of keep
ing his car in control when APP
preaching a busy thoroughfare.

Many farmers are planting their
corn over on account of the very poor
stand resu ting from the cold and ex-
cessive wet weather several weeks ago
Grape hugs. melon bugs, potato
hugs and potato Light are here to
divert our minds from the steady
grind OF hard work II we didn't have
something of the kind to relieve the
monotouy of farm life it would net be
the sweet song it is said to be.
Miss Sarah Rifree who has been in
very poor health all spring, is some
better now.
Edward Nolverton, who had his
foot badly cut last Fiday, still suffers
intense pain as result of having
to use tight bandage to check the
flow Of blood. AT best, he will be n
capacitated for work all summer.
Simon Holler, who fell from W. S.
Irwin's house near Columbia Furnace
last Saturday, is still in a critical
condition. While no bones are known
to be broken he was injured internal
ly that renders him helpless. We
hope he may recover, but just now in
dications do not point to that con-
summa ton.

Pedigree Was Fine, But.

Though nepotism has been known
to get good railroad jobs for young
men, there Is one passenger official in
Kansas City with whom family con-
nections do not 90 very far.
A few days ago the official in ques-
ton was in quest Of an additional man
for his Office.
A friend, learning of his desire, took
occasion to write a letter indorsing a
young man of his acquaintance.
The letter contained some glowing
testimonials Of some Of the things &C
complished by the young mans an
cestors and relatives. But 1t didn't
get very far with the passenger Off
cial, when sent the following laconic
deply to the young mans indorser:
Judging from your letter, the young
man you recommend must have a
good pedigree. However, I merely de-
sire a clerk now, but II conclude to
start stock farm later, ! will let
you know and will be glad to give the
young man . chsnoe."-Kansas City

MT. JACKSON
Miss Lille Moore Commits
Suicide.

Mt Jackson, May 28.-Miss Lille
Moore, 23-year-oid daughter of Mrs.
Amos Moore, committed suicide about
Z O'Clock this morning by shooting
herself through the heart with shot
gun.
Miss Moore lived with her mother
and sister on their farm on the Ork-
ney Springs pike about two and ONE
half miles West of here. and after as
sisting them with the housework this
morning, she went unnoticed to the
washhouse about one hundred yards
from the residence, taking with her a
l2-gauge shotgun. 1t is thought that
she rested the butt of the gun against
a table, placed the muzzle near her
breast directly in line with her heart,
and with window stick pushed the
trigger sending the entire load OF shot
through her hear. Death was instan-
taneous. Her mother and sister Fam
ME heard the shot and discovered the
body a short while afterwards.
They were the only persons near at
the time and we're completely prostrat-
ed. Their grief stricken cries sum-
moned from the distance, W. 81. Ty-
singer of Mt. Jackson and other men
who were travelling the pike and the
body was removed to the residence.
1t was later discovered that Miss Lille
Moore had deliberately planned self
destruction. She had written note
in which she referred to her i'll health
and said that death was preferable.
Miss Moore, who was quite an at
tractive and popular young lady, had
been living in New Market for the past
four years and only returned to her
home several months ago on account
of a nervous breakdown. A month
ago she spent several days ir Harris
onburg and her health had apparent
ly greatly improved.
She is survived by her mother. who
was Miss Martha Tusing before her
marriage to the late Amos Moore; one
brother, Tucker Moore, of North Da-
kota, and five sisters: Mrs. Vergie
Offenbacker. of Ohio; Mrs. Susie
Shultz, Cumberland, Md, Miss Annie
Moore, OF Baltimore; Miss Laura
Moore, of Mt. Jackson and Miss Fan
ME Moore at home.
The funeral will be conducted to-
morrow from Grace Reformed church,
at Rinkertown OF which she was a
member.
c. Tusing, of Harrisonburg, an uncle
of Miss Moore, arrived tonight to at
tend the funeral. It will be remember
ed that Miss Moore spent about week
visiting IN Harrisonburg during the
first part of May, and there was the
guest of her uncle at Hilberts board
ing house.

Boom for Speaker r. E. Byrd

Speaker Richard Evelyn Byrd of the
Virginia House OF Delegates, father
of the Byrd Temperance bill and ol
the primary system of the State, is
being quietly doomed as q candidate
for Governor against Harry st. Geo.
T ucker in the event that the health
of Henry G. Stuart does not permit
him to make the race.
Mr.. Stuart has been i'll for three
months or more. His recovery has
not been as rapid as his friends had
hoped. Three years ago he was CON-
PEELED to withdraw from the Guberna-
torial race on account of his wife's
illness and his own bad health.
Mr.. BYRD is not giving any encour-
agement the boom at the present
time. He told his friends at the Nor
folk convention that he expected Mr.
Stuart to be able to make vigorous
and he intends to support
him.

Beef HIGHEST Since 1882

New York, May 27.-The highes
price since 1882 was reached by beef
in the Wholesale market, when it sold at
13a cents pound in bulk. 1t is said
to mean from II to 2 cents a pound in
crease for prime meats at retails.
The primary cause of the high
prices, the wholesale men say, is the
continued scarcity of cattle. Small
retail dealers continue to talk of ruiz
nation of their business because con-
sumers are greatly curtailing meat
purchases.
