A Deputy Sheriff Resented a
News Article and Beat
Up Editor.
THE FACTS AS RELATED
Brady Henry of Newport, an En-
ployee ofthe Claiborne Progress
Was Prevented From Co.
ing to the Aid of His En-
ployer By a Man With
a Big Gun.

Last week Editor Ben Haynes
of the Claiborne Progress was
assaulted and Brady Henry, form
erly of Newport was prevented
from going to the aid of his en-
ployer by big gun being drawn
on him. The report of the affair
as taken from the Claiborne Pro-
gress is as follows:
On Tuesday afternoon, the 9th,
between 8 and 4 o'clock, Deputy
Sheriff Clyde Robinson, son-in-
law of Bill Yoakum and by mar
riage a nephew of Sheriff Pavne,
came into the Progress office in a
towering rage because | had pub
lished the fact that VIM. D.
Thomas was run down in the
street by the Yoakum auto as he
was returning from church. This
licensed young bully began a
TRADE of abuse and attacked me
with the fury of fiend beating
me over the head with a pistol in
to almost a state of insensibility.
The article to which exceptions
were taken is here given as it ap-
peared:
On Monday night as William D.
Thomas was making his way home
from church, with others, he was
run down by the Yoakum auto
and his condition at this writing,
Tuesday a. M, is precarious. Eye
witnesses declare the thing car
ried no lights and did not sound a
warning as required by law. The
victim was not in the path of the
buzzer, but its tracks show that
it curved far over to one side,
bringing several persons in its
path, but Mr.. Thomas, being feeble
and hard of hearing could not
know the thing was coming out
of its way till it struck him. He
was carried to his home and at
tended by DR.. Carr. Just such an
accident as this has been freely
prophesied as a result of the want
on recklessness in running this
thing with utter disregard of the
rights of others on the highways. u
No one denies the truth of the
above statement except that some
who were present assert that
there were no lights on the ma
chine while others say the lights
were burning, but very dimly.
When Brady Henry, foreman in
the mechanical department, at
tracted by the noise Of the bruta
assault, ran up to the front office
the deputy ceased pounding on
my head and turned his pistol on
Henry and began backing out
Henry, like myself had no means
of defense at command and was
powerleSs. AT the door, the de-
putty was met by my son Jesse
Haynes, who had been attracted
by others running to the door ano
about the same time Justice of the
Peace Sterl Robinson, brother
of my assailant ran across the
street from where he and Others
watched. Both these minions O
the law made a murderous assault
on my son and would doubles:
have killed him but for the inter
ference of others. Jesse was bad
ly cut on the left wrist, he think.
the wound was inflicted by knife
welded by the magistrate.

The Democratic tariff bill carries graduated income tax. The passage of the bill will mark great advance in the fiscal policy of the United States Hitherto all the revenues substantially all of them the support of the Federal government have been derived from inter nal which the taxes alcoholic drinks, bacco and oeomargarne and from import duties es laid goods imported from foreign countries.

Dr. William Henry Welch, one of the leaders in the medical profession in America, was born in Connecticut sixty three years ago to-day. No less an authority than Dr. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard, has referred to pr. Welch as "the chief force in the development of scientific medicine in America in the last quarter of a cen- tury." Yale Harvard, Pennsylvania, Toronto, Columbia and other untver- sities have given him honorary de- grees, and he has also been ~honored by his colleagues with election to the presidency of the American Medical Association, the Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons, and with fellowship in the leading medical bodies of England. When the Rocke- feIler Institute for Medical Research was organized, Dr. Welch was made president of the board of trustees, and he has been professor of pathology at Johns Hopkins since the foundation of the famous hospital of that institU- ton in Baltimore. He is the discov- erer of numerous germs.
 Another eminent Johns Hopkins professor who will receive birthday congratulations today is Herbert Spen- cer Jennings, the naturalist, who was born in Illinois April 8, 1868. Still an- other noted educator, pr. Harry Burns Hutchins president of the University of Michigan, will pass one of 1ife's milestones today.

Rev. Meyer has found a con- stant decrease in cI1urch-going in London, while the population of the city is steadily increasing. The spirit of worldliness, he declares, af- fects all classes. Sports, motoring and weekend parties largely occupy the attention of the wealthy. while the growth of socialism is alternating the poor. The propaganda work steadily carried on by nationalist association which has circulated millions of cop ieS of scientific and anti-re1igious works, has also made agnostics and doubters out of thousands of former Christians, The Rev.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

 We favor the control and operation by municipal ties of such public utilities experience has deonstrat ed be successfully operated by and favor the progressive requirement of such public utilities by this community

 Municipal ownership discussed throughout the entire primary, and the rarty returned convention vorabe to municipal ownership and the municipal ship plank the product of the majority will of that obeyng instructions direct from the Demo cra&ic voters.
 Nor the meaning of this platform left in doubt.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The first practical type-setting ma chine. the linotype. was patented in its essential principles twenty-three years ago to-day, April 8, 1890. Since then other machines of this character notably the monotype and the inter type, have been placed on the market. and have proven highly satisfactory, but to the Mergenthaler linotype be- longs a large part of the credit for revoluttonizing the printing and news paper industries. The first attempt at a type-setting machine was patented in England in 1794. Church, a Con necticut inventor. invented the key board principle in 1922. A score of machines were patented on both sides of the Atlantic between 1840 and 1860, and the Alden, an English machine. was used to some extent on book work. All of these appliances failed in one essential particular - that they did not provide for the automatic jus- tihcation of the lines. Otto Mergen- tnaler, of Baltimore, solved this diff ficulty, as did Lanston, the inventor Of the monotype, but the Mergenthaler machine was first in the field, and is now used in newspaper offices all ov-
 CT the world, and by many job print CTS. The total number of type-set-
 ting machines of all kinds now in use
 is probably more than fifty thousand,
