The accident which resulted in the
untimely death of George B. Jeffreys
at bishops Corner, " below Smyrna
last Monday morning, is one of those
peculiar and unavoidable accidents
which calls forth a great amount of
sympathy, not only for the bereaved
family, but for William Robinson, the
driver of the Thornley, car. There
are auto accidents occurring daily
from fast speeding and joy rides, but
in the Bishops Corner case it was
the result of the saddle girth breaking
and throwing the boy directly in the
face of danger. 1t was a sad, unfor-
tunate case and sympathy goes out tC
all concerned.

1t is a great pity that an appropri-
alton could not have been set aside
sufficient for the President of the
Levy Court, James T. Truax, to make
a complete job of the Smyrna-Clayton
boulevard. The road could have been
vastly improved by making it several
feet wider and joining it up flush to
town limits of both Smyrna and
Clayton. But then we must be salts
fed with small favors. We have
been years getting even this consider
alton, and when it is figured that
there are other roads, bridge and cul-
verts in the District besides the Smyr-
na-Clatyon road, that have to have at
tention, we might pride ourselves on
what improvement we are getting.
Mr.. Truax has done the very best he
could and residents of Smyrna and
Clayton commend him for it. When
completed it may not be the best
stone road in the county, but to the
two towns it will be vastly better than
the makeshift of road that has existed
there for years.

When Greek meets Greek then
comes the tug of war. In the debate
of Monday night, says the Baltimore
American oratorical brillance shone
from two of it's best representatives
and scintillated throughout the Lyric.
The advocate Of the Bull Nose, Hon.
Bourke Cochran and the emeninent
Maryland senator and advocate of
Woodrow Wilson, Isidor Rayner, met
in verbal combat. Seldom in recent
political campaigns has there been such
an interesting and warmly contested
setto of advocates of one or another
candidate upon the field of debate.
The conclusion reached by the audience
as to the merits of the candidates,
held in esteem by the respective deba-
ters, was probably much the same as
held by the individuals before hearing
the sons of thunder. The treat, how
ever, was a real one, and Maryland
held up it's standard of the forensic
ability of its sons, Irrespective of the
relative cogency of the arguments put
forth by the two contestants.

The Presbyterian board of foreign
missions, just closing its books, is
celebrating its seventy-fifth anniversary
this year, Its receipts exceed 1880
600. In 1887, its first year, its re-
ceipts were $4,000. None of this
large amount received last year came
from the Kennedy legacy. There has
been used during the year $750,000 of
that legacy, but it is a separate &C
count OF the receipts last year,
which are far ahead of any previous
year $4,000 came from legacies, a
gain of SO. 900 over ordinary years,
and 100000 from the women, raised

from their official board, which is con-
Quoted by men, certain financial tasks,
and they not only completed all of
them and raised more money than they
promised to do, but they kept up their
own receipts amounting to about $780,
900 a year.
The Presbyterian foreign board
states, through us treasurer, that Its
only gains to be credited to larger in
terest by laymen amount 10 $4,000,
but it has not had time since ending
its year to ascertain whether the IN
crease is due to gifts from laymen or

MURDER TRIAL AT ST. ANTHONY

Ellington Smith who shot and
killed David S. Neal near St. An
thony July 5th, has been on trial
for some days past, and a verdict
was expected by this time.
The prosecution represented by
County Attorney Miller made a very
strong case, showing wanton mur.
der. The defense was conducted by
Edwin M. Holden, Harry Holden and
J. Wesley Holden, and although pub
lie feeling was at fever pitch
against the prisoner before the de-
fense presented it's case, the testi-
mony of the family showing that Neal
had prosecuted them by polluting
their water supply against their re-
peated protests, had annoyed them in
many ways revealing malice, and had
insulted one of the daughters just
before the killing, sympathy for the
defense rose to such a pitch that II
is question whether he may not be
acquitted on the unwritten law.

FOR A SANE FOURTH OF JULY

We are informed that a committee
will appear before the city council
at the next meeting to call their at
tention to the matter of having an
ordinance enacted governing the use
of firecrackers, cannon crackers and
torpedoes.
The purpose in bringing it to con-
sideration at this time is to let deal
ers know in advance of the celebra-
tion whether there will be sale for
such goods or not. The trade in
them has been very unsatisfactory
for long time, they have become
the more dangerous on account of
the introduction of the automobile
and the motorcycle, and the public
generally has strong convictions for
OF against them.

CHILD KILLED AT SHELLEY

The six-year-old daughter of Heber
T. Childs was run over at Shelley last
Tuesday by freight train at Shell
ley. 1t was one of those unfortunate
accidents where two trains were NOV
ing, and she was seen on the track
in front of the freight, just as it
struck her. The train was moving
slowly, and it is thought that she
was watching the one on the other
track and did not notice the one in
front of which she stepped at the ia
tai minute. The freight was south
bound, drawn by engine number 1913
and was said to have been moving at
about four miles an hour. Seven
teen cars passed over the body before
the accident was reported to the en-
gineer and the train stopped.
Coroner E. T. Peck held an inquest,
and the jury rendered decision stat
ing that she was run over as above
stated, and that while they did not
have positive knowledge, it was their
best judgment that the train crew did
not exercise due diligence.
In this connection we want to again
remind the public that people should
make it rule not to stand between
the rails at any time. If they are
waiting at the tracks, they should
stand at the side OF the tracks, be-
tween the switches or in some posi-
tion where if taken by surprise they
would still be passed instead of be-
ing struck. Every child should be
taught this rule, and should be i'm
pressed with the importance of OBJ
serving it even when there is no train
in sight. They should form this
habit for permanent safety.
Blackfoot has had several fatal ac-
cidents in recent years, and each of
them has been due to breaking this
rule. The worst danger comes at
the moment when more than one
train is moving, the one being seen
and watched and the other adding
to the noise to attract at
tention, and while watching one, the
victim steps across the rail and is
struck by the one he or she did not |
see, and the trainmen have no chance
to save the person from harm even
though they are watching.
Don't walk nor stand between the !
rails.

cure a lot of Bob Whites" to turn
loose in this vicinity for game pur-
poses and for the benefits they will
be in destroying insects and weed
pests. This part of the state has
not asked for much in this line, and
can get plenty of these birds IL
prompt action is taken. Chief of Po-
lice Max Smith has one copy of the
petition, and every lover of the Bob
White call is requested to see Mr..
Smith and sign it.
Every man and every woman who
has ever lived in quail country
should be glad of a chance to sign
the petition and help get these beau
tiful half-domestic birds introduced
here. If you do not want to use
them, you will soon come to love
their comradeship and their cheerful
call of Bob White, ah Bob White!"
