w. H. Mcleod gives in a rattle
snake narrative in the manner which
banishes loubt, viz: by exhibiting the
freshly cut set of rattles. The bunch
he showed us Monday was amputa-
ted from the back end of a large rat
tlesnake which he had dispatched
that afternoon near his grandma
Williams place on this side of river
below here. He found the old SER
pent in what's called a pine clay root
hurricane hole, and sent a boy to
the nearby house for the shotgun
with which the work of killing was
done. Eleven rattles and about FIVE
feet s inches long gives the descrip-
ton of this snake, which goes to
prove our assertion that Greene
County sustains her reputation for
raising that kind of product, so the
Aberdeen Examiner and Mobile Reg
lister can take note that Something
is Doing" and that this kind of crop
has not failed or been affected by boil
weevil, timber exhaustion. threaten
ed tariff reduction or any other of
the causes for o decreased produc
ton of home grown goods.

Let us insist again that highly es-
sential points to embody in an obitu-
arv are the age Cor birth date) and
place where died. Most writer's get
the date of death but frequently
omit The age or date of birth. IT the
deceased is married woman, the
obituary ought always to state her
nader name as well as christian
name. We have gotten our contrib
utors to comply with the christian
name but some still overlook the
maiden name, that is who she vas
before marriage. Let all who essay
to pen the lasting written history of
someone's beloved dead, remember
tic embrace all these essential points
I in such memorial. They are really
more essential than the poetry and
ought always ali of them to be round
ed up before the verse part is tack
led. OF course this has no applica-
ton to some careful writers who look
out for these and all interesting data.

w. p. Rhinehart showed us q let
ter Monday from his brother Fletch-
err dated from Rochest ter. MINI,
where the latter is IN an lntirmary
recuperating from an operation I'M
der which be came very near being
transferred from the operating to
the dead table, fortunately he recoy-
cred and the surgeons finished the
operation, which was the removal of
one kidney, they finding it a bundle
of pus. He thinks he will enjoy bet
ter health after this than in years.
Possibly it was tuberculosis of the
kidney as that disease often settles
in those organs. He has been west
now for several years for tuberculosis
and was doing splendidIy in that eli
mate until this kidney trouble arose.
May the Good Lord bring him out of
all his Affections at last.

DECREASE SHOWN
IN FATALITIES
REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER CON-
PARED WITH SAME PERIOD
LAST YEAR.
LEssENlNe ALSO OF NoN-FATAL
ACCIDENTS.
Industrial Board Much Gratified BY
Excellent Result of Working
Of the New Law.

Lansing Mich.-Twenty-one fatal ac-
cidents have been reported to the in
dustrial accident board as occurring
during September During September,
1912, 40 fatal accidents were reported.
AT that time there were operating I'M
der the provisions OF Michigan's COM
pensation act 5000 employers and $780,
600 employees. During September just
passed there were covered by the pro-
visions of the law more than 10000
employers and more than 100000 en-
ployes. While there has been a steady
gain in the number of employees COW
cred by the law, and therefore rapid
~ growing field for fatalities which
would come within the jurisdiction OF
the industrial accident board, there
has been a steady lessening of the ac-
tual number of fatal injuries. OF non
fatal injuries there were reported to
the board 339, an average of but
IL $40 day, as compared with a
daily average OF e5 during the first
six months operation of the compen-
sation law. The .otal number of all
accidents during September is 3S1, an
average of II 40 day. These casual
ties are distributed among more than
100000 industrial workers, exclusive
of some 100000 employees of public
boards and institutions. the showing is
gratifying. Transportation led in the
number of fatal accidents, with a total
of Ave; various miscellaneous indus
tries. grouped under one head also re-
ported five fatalities; automobile in
dustries reported two; the mines an
equal number; numbering. four; and

MAN MADE A DARING LEAP
Pittsburgh Iron Worker Has a Close
Call From Death When He
Jumps From Bridge.

Altoona, Pa.-Believing that the
Twelfth street bridge crossing the
Pennsylvania tracks was on fire and
that he was going to be burned up
unless he escaped, w. J. Beale, an
iron worker of Pittsburgh, plunged
from the bridge to the tracks below
and directly in front of an express
train that was pulling out OF the Penn
sylvania station. The mans escape
from death was miraculous.
He sustained only sprained ankle.
as the engineer of the train shut OF
the power as soon as he saw the man
leaping through the air. and the en-
CINE pushed the man off the tracks
on account of the slow speed at
which it was going. Beale was ar
rested for trespassing on the railroad
property, but was later released and
sent home.
