NEARLY ELEcTROcUTED. c. A. Hamilton of Attawausan Hotel
 Touched Live Wire.

c. A. Hamilton employed at the Att -tawaugan hotel, had 8 narrow escape from being electrocuted Friday morn ing. While in the basement of the building doing some work MT. Hamil- ton reached up to dfsconRect plug from an electric light outlet. Evident ly the insulation was defective, and upon touching the metal he was hurled to the floor unconscious. The fiooF was wet at the time and this fact ne doubt made Aina a better conductor Of eIee- trieity.
 Mr. Hamilton was alone when the ae- cident occurred. Hew leng he lay on the f1eer after he was felled he could net state, but when his senses returned he was still elinging to the cord, the connection breaking evidently from his weight as he fell; otherwise 1t seems certain he would have continued te receive the current until he died. Mr. Hamilton received some bruises about the face in falling and was groggy for 8 time after he was revived, but will suffer no serious eonseQuenees>
 State Tax of KiIIingiy $4,lS5,
 Killingly win be called upon to scurry round and find $4.135,77 to pay the state tax of one mill this year. This means an amount Just little less than 10 per cent. of the amount of taveS collected in this town the past year. It also means. from estimates of the cost of running the town during the fiscal year that has just closed. that the tax rate may have to be jump ed few mills if the town does not care to increase it's already heavy debt This state tax is all extra expense and is coming again next year. An increase in the revenue of Killingly would be very welcome. however, under some other means than taxation.

pr. George E. Wilcox. chairman of the town board of assessors said Fri day he was strongly of the opinion that a special town meeting ought to be called to vote an adequate compenSa- ton for the work of the assessors. It would not be too much. he said, to pay the chairman $500 per year for his ser vices. as the larger part of the clerical and routine work comes on him. pr. Wilcox thought $200 per annum for each of the other assessors would not be unfair The work next year will be increased by the further adjustment of the revaluation of Windham's grand list and the assessment of automobiles, motorcycles and pianos is no small Job. That pr. Wilcox has no personal axes to grind in this matter is shown in his statement that his professional du- ties are such that he will probably not be d candidate for reelection.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Christian Science and Flood Sufferers

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
On the editorial page of today's issue
of The Age-Herald there appeared a
reprint of an article from the Journal
Of the American Medical association enti-
tied doctors in Times of PERIL
The body of the article relates the
splendid and prompt work done by ply
sicians and nurses (allopathict at the
scenes of disaster caused by the recent
floods and tornadoes
Later, however, the writer seemed to
find 1t necessary to. belittle the efforts
OF other schools and methods of heal
ing. Christian science is mentioned in
terms that would seem to give the infer
ence that they can not and do not offer
relief at such times of peril and dis
aster
This is not true and | wish to correct
this wrong impression. No one appre-
ciates more than we do the efforts of the
physicians and nurses under such trying
conditions and their love for suffering
humanity as evidenced in their prompt
and self-sacrificing spirit of service. But
II seems to us most unfortunate that the
writer seeks 10 unduly exalt their eff
forts by sarcastically belittling the work
done by others or asserting in a positive
way the lack OF expressed interest and
sympathy or work done for alleviation
Of the suffering.
Christian scientists do not work as allo-
pathic physicians do with nurses and

Negro Kills His Rival

Montevallo, April 21.-tSpecial.)-
Last night Lum Hall in a fit of jeal-
ousy borrowed double barrelled shot
gun and charge of buckshot and
proceeded to the home of some ne
sroes in the south side of Montevallo,
and, finding a convenient window
standing open and the man he wanted
in plain view, Lum took good aim and
lot go at him with full doze of buck :
shot, striking him in the side and
causing almost instant death. Lum
made his escape, but promised to re-
turn tonight and fill UP another grave
but a good crowd of hunters are now
out on the hunt for Lub with the
strong probabilities that he will be
soon lodged in the county hotel. ]. R.
Allen, proprietor.
