punch" Grubbs Injured.

A well know character of this
county now at the county In
firmary, Punch" Grubbs was
found to have a broken arm
Monday, the arm being broken
several days without anyone
knowing it. Grubbs was coming
down a stairway last Friday and
thought he had reached the bot
tom of the stairway when he
found that there were two more
steps. He started to fall and
caught a canister. It jerked his
arm somewhat and he complained
a little but not much of a pain
at his elbow. Examination by
the superintendent of the insti-
tuition indicated there was no
fracture. A physician out there
Monday discovered that the frac-
ture was Of the bone about mid
way between the shoulder and
the elbow. The injury seemed
to cause but little pain.

The Newspaper Value.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger
writes of newspapers and the
habit the editors of some of them
have of giving away advertising
space and cheapening the worth
of their paper. The Ledger says.
THE newspaper is valuable as
an advertising medium in inverse
proportion to its freedom with
free writeups. The more the
space the weaker the paper. ="
If advertisers and others do not
believe this let them go through
the files of the county papers
and they will find that the state
ment checks up with the facts in
every case.

Speech on Bird Act

Senator James A. Reed has
been mailing to his constituents
his speech delivered May % in
the Senate on the matter of
seeking on appropriation for en-
forcing the Migratory Bird Act.
The senator takes a position
against the appropriation and
urges that attempts have been
made to get the case before the
U. S. supreme court for ad-
judication without success. He
thinks the act may be uncon-
stitutional and desires to see a
test case brought up before any
money is spent for attempted
prosecutions under the provisions
Of the act.

Electric Light Plant

John Coleman went before
the city council at its last meet
ing and the council gave him an
option on a franchise for an
electric light plant. Coleman
bad talked with quite a few
people who felt they could and
would use the lights and he de-
cided to make the rounds this
week to see how many would
sign for a certain number of
lights and make a deposit for
the cost of the meter to be in
stalled with the lights. Cole
man says that the electrical ex-
perts he consulted stated that
with the number of hours the
current would be used by the
electric street railways not feas-
iable. He therefore started out
70 see how the electric light
plant project would materialize.
poleman says he has foreign
capital ready for the investment
in case he secures enough users
Of current and can get the
franchise which will have to be
voted on by the city before it is
granted.

JUDGE WALLACE SPOKE
Here Thursday Night in Interest
Of His Candidacy for
u. s. Senator.

/ Thursday night Of last week
Judge William H. Wallace of
Kansas City spoke here in the
Interest of his own campaign for
the United States Senatorship.
Chairman Anderson of the
County Central Committee was
advised of the coming Of the
distinguished gentleman but two
days before and had no time to
properly advertise the date but
did the next best thing he could
for securing an audience, that is
he told every one he could see
and phoned numbers and asked
their attendance.
The evening was very warm
and the crowd small and while
the court room had been secured,
it was elected by Judge Wallace
to make his address in the open
air, which he accordingly did in.
front Of the Brown house, his
aditors occupying the veranda
of the hotel and the pavement.
There were probably 40 includ-
ing women and children who.
heard him through and ten or.
a dozen stragglers.
Judge Wallace paid a high.
tribute to President Wilson and
commended most Of the accomp-
lishments of the administration,
but announced that if he was
elected to the senate he would
inti oduce a bill to prevent pack
ing houses holding stock in or in
any way being interested in the
ownership of stock yards and
also a bill placing a penalty Of
from 2 to 10 years on all convict
ed Of belonging to a trust or
combine. However, the main
idea the Judge has for desiring
to go to the senate is undoubtedly
to get thru a law establishing
national prohibition, tho the
splendid orator said nothing
about introducing a bill to that
effect in case he was elected.
He is running on the prohibition
ticket, makes prohibition the
principal part of his grafton and
enumerates the things he has
done in the cause of prohibition,
and why he omits to tell his
hearers what he would do in
case he was elected to the office
he is seeking. puts him directly
in the way of the criticism he
launches so furiously against
those who conceal their real pur-
poses with declarations of inten-
tons having no connection what
ever Herewith.
1t is not unfair to the man who
has labored so long and spent
so much of his time and money
trying to attain some high office
to say that he would subordinate
everything else to the prohibi-
ton of the manufacture and sale
of alchoholic liquors. and that
his tenure of office as a judge
was practically a complete fail
ure on account of his extreme
radicalism on this subject. That
he is brainy man. a clean man,
q good lawyer. among the states
best orators and a Christian
gentleman is no reason for hand
ing over to him an opportunity
to put the government to i'm
mense expense in the prosecu-
ton of the one futile idea which
has failed everywhere in all ages,
and the people Of the state will
see to it that he is denied his
appeal.

.AgTO TURNS TURTLE.
Salisbury Party Of Five Marrow
" Escape Death Chauffeur
Finnell Injured.

I'd n
Wednesday morning about
1890 as Fletcher and Elmer
Finnell were coming to Keytes-
vile in their fathers Rambler
car with Misses Margaret Ma
son, Louise Green and Mary
Bean Of Salisbury thev turned
the second curve at the TKeo.
Woods corner SO rapidly that
control Of the car was lost and 1t
was overturned about rs yards
west Of the corner, pinning all
the occupants Of the car under
itexcept Miss Bean, who was
thrown headlong, frog fashion
over the top of Miss Green to
the stubble field.
Miss Bean at once pulled Miss
Green and Elmer Finnell from
under the car and together they
tried to extricate Miss Mason
and Fletcher who were on the
front seat. but were unable to
do SO. Miss Bean ran for as
sistance to the neighbors and
several from the Woods place
and Sam Allegas collecting,
Margaret Mason was hauled out
and the car raised off Fletcher
SO that he could be pulled from
under the steering wheel which
was across his neck and chest.
The gasoline from some pipe in
the front trickIed down over
Fletchers face and body to the
hips and he was badly shocked
and bruised, and Miss Margaret
had scratches over the head and
face and her back badly
wrenched. the other occupants
of the car escaping with but
slight scratches and severe ex-
element They were taken to
the Wood home and in few
minutes all our available sur
geons were on hand, the report
reaching town that there were
casualties and a record trip to
the scene was made by them
in cars. Examination disclosed
that Fletcher was badly burned
by the gasoline over the upper
part of his body and bruised
slightly in several places from
which he suffered considerably,
and that Margaret Mason had
her face and head badly scratched
and bruised and her back wrench
ed, the others suffering from
fright principally.
Mrs. Theo. Wood and Miss
Lucy White gave the best of at
tention to the unfortunates and
the neighbors came with all the
assistance they could render,
and in a few hours the whole
party was able to go back to the
city in the automobile which
had served them so roughly.
The top, windshield and bottom
of the car were badly wrecked, I
but the chassis and the motor
were in good shape and the car
in runnin.v order.
The accident was the result of
excessively fast strunning around
the curves. witnesses who saw
it approaching saying that it |
was about the fastest that they
had ever seen the curves at
tempted and that they expected
to see the car upset.
That all were not killed or
badly mangled is q miracle, and
the absence Of a fence or deep
ditch at the point Of overturning
was undoubtedly their salvation.
The numerous friends Of the
young ladies here are highly
grstifed over their narrow es-
cape from death or disfgura-
tion.
