Montpelier, Oct. 8.


Today was inauguration day, but the
attendance of visitors was smaller than
is usual on such ccasons. Only a
handful of people were present this
morning to listen to the retiring mes
sage of Governor Mead. Not even the
front seats on the floor of the House
were filled and there were not a dozen
people in the gallery. The governors
message is an interesting document, an
column.
Governor Fletcher was sworn in at the
afternoon joint assembly, the oath be-
ing administered by John w. Rowell,
chief judge of the supreme court. The
governor had prepared no elaborate mes
sage, but gave forceful and progress
sive ten minute talk, announcing that
he would later call the attention of the
Legislature to special matters in special
messages.
The Inauguration of Frank E. Howe
of Bennington as lieutenant governor
followed the Inauguration of Governor
Fletcher. Mr. Howe's remarks on as

Governor Meads reception to Governor
Fletcher occurred at the state house

though not as well attended as such

chamber was magnificently decorated

the Republicans who refused to vote for

Men and Happenings.

At Spartanburg last Friday Judge
Jones read telegram from the
Daughters of the Confederacy, who
said they were working and praying
for his success.
Jno. c. Daniel, who has been su-
perintendent Of schools at Manning
for several years, has been elected
superintendent at Darlington to
succeed Nathan Toms, who resigned.
1t is stated that James U. Jackson
and other capitalists will soon apply
for a charter for an electric railway
to be built from Augusta to Colum-
bia. 1t is expected to have the road
in operation in twelve months.
The city council of Charleston has
granted a franchise to another street
railway company, and the terms of
the franchise provide that work must
be started in six months. A single
track is to be laid on the battery,
although there was considerable op-
position on the part of some citizens.

Sings Duets with Himself.

Geramn physicians are trying to
discover the mystery of man with
double voice. His normal voice is
baritone of wide range, but in
singing he is able to accompany him.
self in a higher key.
The Berlinger Klinische Wohens-
chrift says that DR.. Schreir introduce
ed this man at a recent meeting OF
the Berlin Laryngological Society,
the members of which examined him,
without being able to throw any light
on this human duet.
In demonstrating his faculty he
sings an air that in the normal, then
in the double voice. Unfortunately,
when the Iaryngoscope is in position
for study the double singing is pro-
duced with great difficulty and the
artist would not permit the use OF
cocaine. The possession of the double
voice makes it easy for him to imi-
tate various instruments. AS this
class of mimetics and also ventrilo-
quists have already been studied
proftably with photography the
thought lay near to use this diagnos-
tic resource in the present subject.
The skiagrams showed enough to
suggest to Shreier that the double
voice was produced by the stimuli
taneous action of the vocal chords
and epiglottis. Others have sug-
gested that the extra voice might
have been produced with the soft
palate or ventricular bands. 1t is
highly improbable that it can be pro-
duced by the vocal cords alone. AS
the vibrations cannot be seen their
causation must remain conjectural.-

.INFERNAL MACHINE' GOES OFF
Fatally Injuries One, Hurts Another,
During Belated Explosion.

High Point, N. c., Aug. 10.-W.
NJ. l. sbee, manager of the local ex-

jured and L. C. Morton, cashier, bad
ly hurt by the explosion to-day of an
"infernal machine,' which was about
to be consigned to the "old hoss'
heap. The package, addressed to
Charles L. Hoover, and shipped from
Thomasville, had been in the Office
several months. When Busbee start
ed to open it to ascertain it's contents,
it exploded, burning him about the
face and chest. 1t is believed by the
police that the package was intended
for Charles Hooper, postmaster and
influential politician at Thomasville,
the sender evidently thinking it
would be returned to that address.
1t is said an arrest is expected soon
in the case.

TYRUs ROUTS A TRIO OF THUGS
Demand His Cash, But Get Trounc-
ing.

Syracuse, N. Y, Aug. 12.-Ty Cobb
was attacked and stabbed in the
back by three unidentified men in
Detroit early to-day while on his way
to the train which was to bring him
and the Detroit team to this city for
an exhibition game this afternoon.
Cobb's agility saved him from Sc
rious injuries and possible death. His
injuries are slight.
Cobb, accompanied by his wife,
was driving his automobile to the
station when three men ordered the
car to halt.
The men were partly intoxicated
and when the machine came to a
stop Cobb jumped out and began to
argue with the men.
The trio then demanded money OF
the ball player and with the demand
all three made lunge at Cobb.
He attacked the trio and then be-
gan a battle royal. One man was
knocked down with a blow on the
chin, another began to run, while
the third grabbed Cobb around the
neck. They clinched.
While wrestling the thug pulled a
knife and inflicted a wound in Cobb's
back. Cobb finally shook off his as
sailant before he could cause any
further injury.
Cobb was treated here to-day on
the arrival of the Detroit team. Two
stitches were required to close his
wound.

Death of Mrs. Kinard.

Olar. Aug. lion yesterday the
sweet young wife of Mr.. Monroe Kin
ard fell asleep on death, as tired
babe upon its mothers breast. She
was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
George R. Aver, and out of a family
of fifteen children she was the first
to die.
The writer knew her from infancy,
and she was queenly girl-so
young, so sweet, so pure, so 1nno-
cent, and just as she was blooming
into womanhood, death claimed her
for it's own. However, in the short
nieteen years of her pure life she
made the world better for having liv-
ed.
To the bereaved ones we extend
all the sympathies that a bleeding
heart can give, for we know the full
meaning of'the passing through "the
valley of the shadow of DEATH
