Hon Fred Grace of IbervlII,

Land Office at Baton ROUGE was
III New iberia on Thursday trans.
actin" state business in conIlcc-
ton with some State lands that
adJoIns Spanish Lake. Speak
lng of the state campaign, Mr..
Grace says that outside of the
Third Congressional District he
could not see where Mr.. Parker
could carry a sigle Parish in the
state. This is the opinion Of al
most every one who is in position
to know the situation as it stands
at tins time, Notwithstanding all
OF the BIG noise made by the
IImeS-l1cayllnc and Item. II is
positively a shame to have papers
IN the State with the circUIation
of those two papers misleading
the voters to the extent that they
dO. In parishes where as few as
seven people put in their appear
ance at Parker meetings as many
as five hundred is reported.
When newspapers get to the point
OF msrcpreSenting conditions to
that extent, solely to deceive the
reader It is high time to call
halt. The least a newspaper
is expected to do is to give
as near as they can the exact con
ditlons as they find them.

DEAR EDIToR:-Thinking that
news from the boys who will fol-
low the flag to Mexico might in
terest readers and some of my
friends in Fulton county, / will
endeavor from time to time to
send you word from our camps.
We are now waiting equipment
and are anxious to go off to the
front. s.
Company C left Chambersburg
June Oath and arrived at Camp
Brumbaugh, Mt. Gretna, Pa,
same day, On the 26tb the oath
was administered and to our sor-
row, five of our Company got
cold feet and hiked it back home,
leaving US with 60 men. On the
following Monday, we received
our first incubation of typhoid
serum and were vaccinated. We
soon rallied and were ready for
duty. The Fourth was spent
very quietly in camp.
July 9th we were called to the
hospital for final examination
and we lost ten men by reason of
physical defects. However, our
number has been increased to ga
by the admission of rockies"
who joined since we came to
camp. On the same day we were
given another dose of 20 drops of
typhoid serum and this morning
July 6th) some of the boys are
feeling pretty sore from the eff
fects.
Our last orders were to be
ready to leave Sunday morning
for the Border, to be stationed
close to Ell Paso, Texas. Present
indications are that we will be
gone about three months. With
kindest regards to my parents
and all friends in Little Fulton.

HARVESTING ACCIDENT.
George Cooper Loses Life by Being
Caught in Binder at Scott Tritle's
Monday Afternoon.

Monday afternoon Scott Tritle
was running a reaper in one Of
the wheatfelds on his farm in
the Cove. The machine was
drawn by four horses-two
abreast. George Cooper, aged
Is, son of Philip Cooper, was
driving the team, and Mr.. Tritle
was seated on the reaper. The
leaders were not working to
please Cooper, and he jumped off
the saddle horse, kept the lines
in his hand, and proceeded to
lick up" the near leader. This
started the team, the line broke,
and in attempting to escape the
cutting-bar, he fell and was
caught by the divider and thrown
beneath the cutter-bar, and was
dragged about sixty yards, his
body being cut and bruised most
shockingly. Miss Virginia Tritle
seeing the team approaching the
open bars, closed the opening and
stopped the team.
DR.. Mosser was summoned by
phone and at once went to the
young mans side, but nothing
could be done to save his life. In
an hour and fifty minutes from
the time he was caught by the
binder, he passed away.
The funeral took place at ten
O'Clock Tuesday morning and in
terment was made in Union cem-
etery.

Odd Accident.
Of men.

An odd accident occurred at
the Linn garage last Sunday
when j. M. Hughes, of Beaver
Falls was assisting Mack Linn to
adjust a tire. The tire was in
hated with 70 pounds pressure
on a detachable rim. The two
men were hammering the rim to
its place on the wheel when the
inner tube bursted blowing the
steel band away with such force
that when it struck Hughes on
the forehead he was knocked
nearly senseless. Mack escaped
with severe bruises on the BIZ
ceps. DR.. Robinson dressed the
Hughes wounds which consisted
of cuts and bruises.
