WHAT ROOSEVELT SAID

WHAT ROOSEVELT SAID
1--WE are not proposing to
act against the big man, but
the crooked man, big or lit
tie; in other words, when we
act against a big man it is
not because he is big but be-
cause he Is crooked"
"a favOrite assault on me
is that / act In an unconstitu.
tional manner. Well, I don't.
What my opponents really
mean is that l use the consti-
tuition to get results instead
of as shield to hide behind
for failure TO get results"
MAN cannot amount to
anything until he is able to
pull his own weight. But we
must not stop there. He
must have in him that which
makes him help his fellow
man and our trend will be
upward"
1--WE have declared and we
are the first national parry
that has declared for the
right of the women to vote
throughout this nation"

did not mind what you said bit. !"

ELEcTROCUTED
Mr.. A. r Smith, One Of
MiddIesboro's promi-
nent Business Men
Meets Death in Strange
Manner
Was Formerly q citizen OF
Knox County

On last Saturday night at about
1920 o'clock, Mr. A. T. Smith. one
Of Middlesboro's most prominent
business men met death by being
electrocuted. He had just left his
drug store and was met by one Of
his customers who wanted some
thing in the store, and he reentered
the store and went behind the pre-.
scriptlon case to get the goods
called for. They had been using a
sixteen candle power electric light
" hich was attached to long cord
so that they could carry it to differ
ent parts of the room, and he took
this in his hand and went to get
the article called for. After walk
ing four or five steps and procuring
the article he was seized with ire
mendous electrical shock ard could
not release his hold on the lamp.
There were only two other people
in the store, one of whom attempted
to release him and was knocked
senseless Finding that it was inn
possible to release him while the
current was on they went to the
telephone and had the electric plant
shut nown, but this was four min.
utes after he anne in contact with
the light, and he was dead.
The first report to reach here was
TO the effect that he had been killed
by lightning, but others say that
his death was brought about by a
defect in the wireing of the building
causing a short circuit.
His funeral was held last Tuesday
morning at his residence on Edge
wood Avenue and was conducted by
Revereuds Reed, Of the Baptist
Church of London. and Roddy of
the Baptist Church Of Middlesboro.
Every business house in the city
was closed out Of respect for him
and one of the largest professions
ever seen in Southeastern Kentucky
accompanied his remains to their
last resting place.
Mr.. Smith was a prominent Ma
son, Elk and Red man and was for
IL years a member of the city
Council. and although he was new
err a candidate for the place, was al
ways elected. Formerly he was
railway mail clerk on the L. & n.
from Louisville to Middlesboro.
He vas born in Knox Chunty on
October 4th, 1867, was married to
Miss Martha Yeager of Flat Lick
in 1856, and leaves a wife and six
children to mourn his loss, besides a
father. mother, six sisters and one
brother.
Mr.. Smith was heavily insured
and leaves quite a fortune to his
family. The drug business will be
conducted in the same firm name by
his oldest son Eugene Smith.

escaped with few bruises.

of the car was thrown to one side,
putting her foot through window,
but withdrew it without receiving a
scratch.
Among the shaken up passengers
who received various biffs and
bruises were G. H. Savage, Hartford,
