SHOT OFF SIDE OF

McCain's, accidentally shot himself
With a double barreled shotgun
Thursday afternoon, the loads tear
Ing off the whole of the right cheek.
the bone, the eye, and all the skin
and muscles off the right side of the
face and nose. The boy was brought
TO the hospital soon after the acct.
dent for treatment, and his life ia
hanging by thread. The accident
was a horrible one, as practically the
whole Of one side of the boys face
was blown away.
The boy and his younger brother.
four-years-old, were playing alone at
home when the accident took place.
Their father had borrowed the gun
from Mr. Giddens, and they got it
down together to shoot down a wasp
nest in the top of the room. In
some way the gun was exploded in
the face of the older brother, taking
away almost half of his face.

sides in Columbia where he expects
to finish his course. He served the
Pulaski church forty years ago and
he was one of the best loved men we
ever had. He is now undone physi
cally, but with care has many years
possibly to live. He spent only one
day in Pulaski and was greeted by
many warm friends. A most impress
sive incident carries with 1t the great
est thought that a human mind can
contemplate. A friend in parting
with him said:
Goodbye, Brother Dinwiddie, I
hope you will live forever"
THAT is exactly what I expect to

live forever, thank God"

OF his own state. This was not true.
He had never voted for republican
but had opposed the democrat upon
The issues that divided the people of
; Tennessee, but those issues happily
had been adjusted in Nebraska and
he and the candidate that he had op.
posed were standing together and
fighting the battles of the party and
the administration.
Mr.. Bryan said that the democratic
party in the nation, when he was a
candidate the first time for president
was divided. Some democrats would
not support him and the republicans
came into power and stayed there for
sixteen years. But thank God, since
that time the democrats had gotten
together and redeemed the nation
and that now he was working with
and by the side of men who helped
to defeat him for president. For
thirty-four years l have been fighting
the battles of the people and II the
Almighty spares me l expect to fight
more battles. A united party in the
nation has given us splen0lu pres
ident, Woodrow Wilson, it has reduc-
ed the tariff, and placed an income
tax on the wealth of the country. 1t
has distributed the burden of govern
ment among those who are able to
bear them.
"Now ask you why cannot the DEM
ocrats of Tennessee do what the DEM
ocrats of the nation have done? Why
cannot you forget your differences
and work together for the interests
of the people of the country? Why
can you not unite and stand behind
this national administration? Your
governor who is appealing to you to
elect him for a third term voted
against our administration. He would
have elected, had all voted as he did,
for president a man whose admins
tration was such a dismal failure that
he did not carry but two states in all
the American union. He would have
elected a president who was repudiat-
ed by all but eight electoral votes. Do

WAS THIRD TRIP
OF BRYAN HERE
CAME HERE BEFORE IN 1896 AND
AGAIN AFTER 1900 TO
LECTURE.

1t has been said by some that Sec
rotary Bryan had been to Columbia
only once before his visit to the city
Friday. This is a mistake, as it has
been recalled by several who heard
him on both occasions that he was
here shortly after 1900 as we'll as in
1896. On both these occasions he
spoke at the opera house. The first
time was soon after he had been de-
feated for the presidency, and he was
In the heyday of his fame. The
house was packed to hear him.
However, when he returned soon
after 1900 to lecture again, he did not
prove to be such a great drawing
card and the house was not more
than half full to hear him lecture.
AS as he came down on the train
Friday morning he recalled to those
who were with him these previous
visits and the pleasure that he had
upon them.
