when we can show our appreciation
of him in a more beneficial way
than naming a society for him.
The other society was named in

HazIehurst. We can also repeat

He is lying quietly at Hartman's
undertaking establishment where
he was taken this morning at about
one O'Clock, limp and helpless in
death after a fall from an |. e..
passenger train which passes Brook
haven at about $40 p. m.
When a freight train slowed up
and unCoupled near East Union
last night at about 80 the con-
ductor got off and passing along
side the railroad, stumbled upon
the dead body of n man, Justice
of the Peace R. S. Butler, was
summoned, a coroner's jury empan-
eIed and as a result of their inVes-
tigation death was found to be due
to the fall. a great hole being made
in the ground where the body
struck, face foremost. Messrs. L.
J. Laird, Mitchell McGrath, Mon
roe Smith, E R. Mclean, E b.
French and A. L Moore composed
the jury.
Brown was seen in Brookhaven
after six yesterday evening and al.
so on the tender of the car as it
passed here.
His skull was broken in two

fractured. He had crawled about

The CoIemAn-WaIker Contest.

A great deal has been said about
the Coleman and Walker contest
for the right thing to be done
Some say it was right at first.
Some say it was right and have
no Say in it except do say if l
hed-been the committee il ! could
hot have done it legally, | would
have ignored the whole thing.
The speaking was interesting on
both sides. Mr.. Cassidy said
Coleman had had his last chance:
that he should have had the minor
vute, kept out of the box, and said
that he has lost his last chance.
Now, as a matter of common
sense reasoning, how can a man
complain of a thing before he has
any knowledge of the thing to be
complained of, for instance, If a
man is tried and convicted by a
composition of lies and the truth
was afterwards come to light and
to be revealed, wouldn't it be right
for that man to have another
chance? Of course, indeed it
would
think TO run it over is the only
right thing. However, | am not
interested in the one more than
the other-don't live in that beat !;
but think this run only is just to
both men, and hope if there is
any difference in the men, the beat
five voters will elect the best man.
We sh ouId consider this from a
business standpoint as it truly is
We should disregard churchism,
kinship or friendship. We should
not let our little favoritism or per-
sonaIlties come into the decision Of
this very important office But we
should vote for the man we believe
to be the most competent to legis.
late to the best interest of all.
