Virpinian Killed.

Pulaski, Va, May A telegram
received by Postmaster E. V. Janl-
son bore the news that John r. Pain
ter had been run over by a train in
Chicago and instantly killed, his
body being fearfully mangIed. The
Young man who was thus tragically
killed was a son Of Mrs. V. V.
FAINTER, of this place, and, what
adds to the fearfulness of the blow
TO Mrs. Painter is the fact that this
IS her third son in the past few
wears to meet death by accident. One
son, A. S. Painter, was killed a few
wears ago on the yard of Western
Railroad while performing his du-
ties as yardmaster. Barely a year
ago another son, Lewis Painter, was
killed by the boom of dredge on
which he was in charge Of the ope-
rations of a force of men working
for a wrecking company. And now
comes this latest disaster.

d NEWS OF THE OLD DOMINION e
COMING ELECTION.
Most Virginia Congressman Will Have
.as A Walk Over.

! ;Richtnond, Va, May 4.-Save for
the third and ninth congressional dis
tricts there is serenity and happiness
on the parts Of the candidates.
In. every district represented. by
Democrats, save in the third, "the
present incumbents" have been named
to succeed themselves. In the ninth
district R. Tate Irvine is the champion
of the Democrats for the seat which
is now held by Congressman c. Bas-
comb Slemp. The latter will not be
a candidate to succeed himself, but
former State Senator John c. Noel,
says he will be the Republican can
didate.
The other districts are in line.
There is just one exception-ln the
fifth there will be no primary, as
Congressman Saunders has no opposl-
ton. The district dominates by con-
vention, and as the convention is gen.
orally controlled by the dominant fac
ton there is no reason to believe that
Saunders will not again be returned,
though he may have to make fight
against a Republican. Since Halifax
county has been returned to the fifth
district, however, the success of O. Re-
publican is extremely doubtful.
Here is the list Of the nominees in
every district in the state, save that il
the third, and counting Saunders
already nominated:
First District-W. A. Jones. No op-
position.
Second District-E. E. Holland. Nc

Ninth District-R. Tate Irvine nom-

The Neighbors Motor Company is
having a complete display Of the Hlsp-
mobile models at the local show
rooms, 120 Market street. This is a
permanent office for demonstrations
and selling the Hupmobile in this ter
ritory. H. c. Enrich, well known
to the people of Harrisburg and vicin-
ity, Is in charge of the local offices for
the Neighbors Motor Company who
are large distributors for the Cleve-
land, Youngstown, pittsburgh and
Harrisburg district. The models shown
at the salesroom are the two-passen-
ger roadster, four-passenger touring
and siX-passenger touring. The Hup-
mobile is also made with commercial
body for light delivery purposes.
Mr.. Emrick will be assisted by 7. b.
Wildemuth during show week and
thereafter act as salesman on the ter
ritory controlled by this local office.
Besides selling to Harrisburg and vi
cinity direct this office has charge of
twenty counties in which are local
agents who buy through this office.
Therefore the service at the local Hup-
mobile office is equal to that of a di-
rect factory branch.
The new 1914 models show many
improvements and refinements over
the types of last year. There is the
electric starting and lighting system,

fashioned rain vision windshield,
specially designed tire carrier, which
carries the tire the same way as 1t
rests on the wheel and does away with
the bother of strapping down, which
necessarily eliminates the wear and
tear thus caused, oversize tires and
better upholstering.
Those mechanically inclined will be
able to note throughout the entire
chassis and various parts OF the mech
anism many minor improvements
which will tend to make for better
mechanical harmony in the working
parts. The addition of the self-starter
does not change to any great extent
the exterior appearance of the motor
and adds but very little in weight.
The distinguished exterior appear
ance of the Hupmobile is still contin-
ued in the new models. Streamline
body design with gasoline tank under
the cowl dashA which was incorporated
in this country by the Hupmobile, is
still continued, The gasoline tank is
larger and holds enough for approxi-
mately 200 miles of touring.
The cars are all fully equipped and
with the new color scheme of black
with scarlet lake running gear, the
different types make a very distin-
guished appearance, which is uncom-
mon in the low price field.

The American LUNCHEON Club appointed a

There is general regret in English and
American circles to-day over Mr. Crit

London loses an excellent eXemplar of

gence. Mr.. Griffiths did much to help
Americans and Englishmen TO better
understanding OF one another. He was
cheerful and sensible and filled the office
manfully."
Consul General Griffiths was a much
sought after speaker in London. He was
a most prolific writer and he sent very ex-
tenslye reports 10 the State Department

a voice OF unusual sensuous beauty. I'm
fortunately ignorance of the language he
