MARROW ESCAPE

While riding his bicycle just be-
hind an automobile on Samuels
avenue Monday afternoon Master
Mack Darlington started to pass
around the car and failed to notice
the approach of another automobile
and was knocked to the side of the
road and his bicycle fell on top OF
him. The little fellow was rather
severely shaken and bruised but
fortunately no bones were broken.
There is no blame attached to the
party driving the car as it was inn
possible for them to see the boy I'M
til the car struck him. He will be
all right in a few days but his es-
cape was little short of marvellous.

GARAGE OWNER
ENTERS PROTEST

Since our publication last week of
an article on the useless noises made
by motorists which article was con-
tributed by one who has suffered
from the noises, we have had gar
age owner to take. exception to our
article, saying that he thought we
were too severe on the garage own
ers as they were not responsible for
all the noise made by automobiles.
We do not claim the garage owners
are responsible for all the noises, but
we do claim that whenever man
drives up in front of the garage and
a mechanic from the garage comes
out, races the engine with the cut
out open, or tests the claxon horn,
he is breaking the law and should be
compelled to take the machine into
his place of business before making
the life of the surrounding public
miserable. During the services at the
Methodist Church Sunday, June s,
the minister was forced to stop three
times and finally a member of the
church went out and requested an
automobile owner to please keep his
machine quiet long enough for the
church service to be concluded.
Motorists have a habit Of driving up
in front of places of business land
not garages only and blowing the
horn for the clerk, while others
drive all over the city with the cut
out open. We have no desire to be
unduly critical of the garage ownc,
as We know they cannot control the
action of those who drive up in front
of their places or of those who are
driving out of the garages, however
we do think that the police of the
city should give this matter better
attention than has been given it in
the past, that long suffering pub
lie may have the peace and quietude
to which they are entitled. While
we are on the subject of the automo-
bile we might also say the law with
reference to a child under sixteen
years of age driving an automobile
is being violated here every day. The
people who run their cars here with

REPUBLICANS CANNOT AGREE

The Republicans cannot agree OF
a "hand- picked" candidate for r
r. Commissioner in the Third dis
trict, although the "powers that be-
have had a meeting at Louisville
since the Republican convention al
Lexington. 1t is understood that 6
number of candidates met at Louis
vile last Tuesday and agreed that
John B. Eversole was the logi-
cal man for the place and that
Messrs. S. o. Wood, of this city
William C. Black, of Barboursvflle
and possibly other candidates agreed
to withdraw in his favor, however il
is reported that some of the an
nounced candidates were not invited
to the 'pow- WOW" and have since
signified their intention of running
the race on out in spite of the re-
commentator of Morrow, Searcy,
Hert, Garrett and others, claiming
there has been too much "bossism'
shown already. The Lexington
Leader Sunday had picture of Mr.
Eversole with a sketch Of his life,
etc., and stated that he had been
agreed upon but in another column
edited by r. Lee Davis, he stated
that Mr.. E. C. Kash, Of Jack
son resented the report that he had
withdrawn and stated that he would
run the race out. 1t is also stated
that Mr.. Clay Cisco, of this county,
who is widely connected throughout
the mountains, has said that he was
in to the finish. Many warm friends

both Democratic and Republican,

Republican mistreated by the party

He furnished bail Of $1,000. Mr..
Swami said:
"Mr. Childs was indicted by grand
jury two-thirds of whose members
swore they were members of the Re

a grand jury largely composed of Re
publicans because we knew they would
resent the fact that the 'slush fund
was handled recklessly. If Mr.. Childs
is so innocent why does he hold up the
