Accidental Death on Sunday
Shocks Entire Community.

About three o'clock Sunday
the quiet of e peaceful Sabbath
was broken by runner dashlng
into town with the alarming cry
that little Clarence, the 10 year
old son of Mr., and Mrs. H. G.
Russell. had been carried down
in a whirlpool in Bogue Chitto
River and his body could not be
recovered.
Immediately the men and
boys of the town rushed to the
scene and started a systematic
series of diving which was &C
tive y kept up for more than an
hour before the body was located
and brought to shore. The
work of rescussitation was thor.
oughly carried out although it
was deemed hopeless to begin
with after the body had remain
ed under water so long.
The general belief is that the
boy was seized with cramp tho it
may have been just the under,
tow of the deep water at that
place which he was not able to
resist. There were three other
small boys and one grown man
in the water with him when the
child convulsively grabbed Mr..
Brulnfeld around the neck and
carried him under with him
twice in 20 ft. of water when his
grip broke and he never rose
again, while Mr.. Brumfeld be-
ting exceedingly weak from a
loleg seige of fever was unable to
help himself and had to be res,
cued by a man standing on the
bank.
Little Clarence was the Oldest
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Russell
and was specially lovable and
promising boy, and the shock OF
his sudden death leaves the de-
devoted parents so prost"ated
with grief that it is pltiful to see
Interment took place Monday
afternoon at 8 O'Clock in the
FISHER Cemetery with Rev. F.
n. Sweeney officiating,

With Nr. and Mrs. Russell in

The State of Kentucky has been
jerrymandered in the legislative
districts as TO make It impossible for
any change in control of either
branch of the General Assembly 9TH
er than Democratic. The present APP
portionment act has been twice de-
clared unconstitutional but they will
not enact fair one. 1t takes six
citizens in a Republican, section to
equal one in a Democratic section
of the State. Some years ago they
pretended to redistrict the State in
to legislative districts and the new
apportionment was worse than the
former one. a most brazen disregard
of the rights of our people regardless
of their politics. At this time they
placed Ohio county with Butler and
Edmonson to form one Republican
district. If il had not been for GER
tain Republicans who contributed
money and took the matter to the
Court of Appeals we in Ohio county
would still be disfranchised. Here
is what a Democratic Court of APP
peals said of that act in an opinion
declaring it unconstitutional s.
The act under discussion is gross
ly of Section 33 of the Constitution,
in that the injunction as to equality
between the districts was not even
pretended TO be obeyed- by the Leg
isiature and is not--and cannot be
denied"
( Equality of representation is a
vital principle of democracy. In
proportion as this is denied or with
held, the government becomes .oli-
garchical or monarchical. Without
equality Republican institutions are
impossible, inequality of represen-
tation is a tyranny to which no peo-
pie worthy Of freedom will tamely
submit. To say that man in Spen-
GER county shall have seven times as
much influence in the government. of
the State as man in Ohio. Butler
or Edmonson, is to say that six men
out of every seven in those counties
are not represented in the govern
ment at all. They. are required to
submit 70 taxation without represen-
'tation. 1t was this kind Of oppres-
sion which inspired that great strug
gle Cor freedom which began on Lsa-
ing,on Gree in 1915, and ended at
Yorktown in 1881. Equality of re.r
rssentation is the basis of patriotism.
No citizen will, or ought to. love the
Stale which Expresses him, and that
citizen is arbitrarily oppressed VINO
is denied equality of representation
with every other citizen of the Com
monwealth, .i..,:....

should be fooled by a declaration
that they are the same. The Re!
