Ulysses Wotton Killed at Thomaston

Ulysses Wotton. employed at tn
Thomaston shipyard operated by
George A. Gilchrest. was killed Wedncs
day, when four ship frames collapsed
The accident occurred shortly before
noon, and the management Of the yare
is at 4 loss to account for it. The trun-
nels holding the frames in position
were known to be firmly driven. but II
is thought that they may have pulled
out owing to being green. The falling
frames crushed Mr.. Wotton's skull
and while he lived until evening, he did
not recover consciousness. Another
workman, Stanley Watts. was also
struck by the falling frames and es-
capped with minor injuries but was
knocked overheard and suffered con-
siderably from exposure. Mr.. Wotton
was until recently q resident of Port
Clyde. On taking NJ work al the ship
yard he moved 10 Warren, where he
purchased a house.

 The city council of Roanoke is nego- tiating with the Alabama Power company to sell to the latter the municipal electric lighting plant and to use the current Of the power company The council is unan- imously in favor of this proposition and has called an election to be held on Feb ruary 2S for the voters to pass upon the question. 1t is thought that the verdict will be overwhelmingly in favor of using the current of the Alabama Power com- rany. thus securing ample power for all kinds of industries.
 The Wedowee oil Mill company has just had shipped to Roanoke a car load of peanuts for planting purposes, and wagons have been busy this week haul ing out the peanuts.

 "The desirability of cooperation with the state authorities is, however, obvious. Under the circumstances we conclude that these proceedings should be re- opened for further hearing, the order of July ', 1916, to remain in full force and effect, pending such hearing, and decision thereon.'
 In its decision of last July the commis- sion found that rates between Shreve- port, La, and points in Texas were un- reasonable and unduly prejudicial to Shreveport as compared with rates for like distances in Texas. Reasonable maximum rates between Shreveport and Texas points were prescribed. Subse- quently the attorney general of Texas and various localities and commercial in terests in Texas challenged the jurisdic- tion of the commission to make the or der, and presented what they claimed to be instances of hardship which would re- suit to various interests in Texas from the operation of rates proposed by the commission

 sion Will Stand

Washington, February 2-Reopening the Shreveport rate case was ordered by the interstate commerce commission to- day upon petition of the attorney gen. eral of Texas. the Texas railroad com mission and others. but in doing so left in effect it's order of last July prescribing new rates on commodities between Shreveport and points in Texas.
 "Our order was made after careful con- sideration upon the basis of voluminous record" says the commissions decision. ITO vacate this order might have the effect of reinstating many of the dis criminations formerly existing which have been shown to be real and ma terial, and of long standing. Argument has been had since that order was en- tered, but no further evidence in the strict sense of the word has been sub mitted.

from the treasure of his wisdom, the
mother from the simplicity of her
heart.
When they came to the hill and as
cended it, the children were there
already, and ran joyously towards
them with white pet lamb, which
they had taken with them.
They had adorned the lamb with
flowers, like a bride, and it ate the
herbs of the hill out of their hands.
The father looked at the mother,
and shook his head with grave ges-

But the mother smiled, and said:
"Ah, my beloved, let them continue
in their child-like simplicity. They
need not yet the knowledge of rising
and setting worlds, and the deep

PRESIDENT WILSON ON "OUR
FLAG"

CAS- l look at that flag | seem to
see many characters upon it which
are not visible to the physical eye.
There seem to move ghostly visions
of devoted men, who looking to that
ffag thought only of liberty of the
rights of mankind, of the mission of
America to show the way to the world
for realization of those rights
And every grave of every brave
man in the country would seem to
have upon it the colors of the flag, if
he were a true American-seem to
have on it that stain of red, which
means the true pulse of blood, that
patch of pure white which means
peace of the soul
And then there seems to rise over
the graves of those men and to hal
low their memories that blue space OF
sky in which swim those stars which
exemplify for us the glorious galaxy
of the States of the Union, which
stand together to vindicate the rights
of mankind"
