shot THROUGH LUNG
Forrest A. Carter Taken to the Hos
pital After Having Been Wounded
5 Accidentally. 1t is Claimed, by His
Brother.
Brother.

A sad accident occurred last night
at 30S Montgomery street, the resi-
dcnce of Forrest A. Carter, when he
was shot and dangerously wounded by
his brother, Henry A. Carter. The lat
ter had visited his brother, and while
ut his home both engaged in pistol
drill, after having removed. the car
tridges from the weapons. Henry
Carter at length concluded to go TO
his horne, 3C6 Montgomery street
next door, and before leaving he re-
placed the cartridges into his pistol.
AS he neared the door Forrest drop
ped his pistol, and stopped to pick it
up. Henry, losing sight Of the fact
that ne had returned the cartridges to
his weapon, continued the drill by
pulling his pistol from his pocket and
swapping it. One barrel was exploded
and the ball penetrated the side Of
his brother, lodging in the lung.
Henry, in distressed state Of mind
summoned the Alexandria Hospital
ambulance and accompanied his
brother to that institution, where he
was attended by Doctor Klipstein. His
wound is thought TO be serious.
Officer Rawlett arrested Henry A.
Carter about noon, and the case was
by the Police Court. The
brother who was the cause of the ac-
cident is employed at the Potomac
Railroad Yards. He was recently dis
missed from the army. The family
came to this city from Prince William
county about year ago. The wounded
man is also employed at the yards.
From ali that can be learned the
was accidental and Henry
Carter was released

IN MEMORY OF MRS. ELIZABETH
SMITH

= On the morning of October l4th,
1919, Just before the dawn of day,
the angel of death visited our commu-
nifty and claimed for its victim our
neighbor and friend, Mrs, Elizabeth
Smith, who only suffered for two
days with paralysis.
Mrs. Smith was formerly Mrs
Elizabeth Chapman. She was born
on August 10Th, 1882.
At the age of Is years, she profess
ed faith in Christ and joined the
Presbyterian church in Atlanta, Ga
She was married to William H. Smith.
March 18th, 1852, and removed to
Worthington, Ind. To this union
were born three sons and one daugh-
ter, the two oldest sons, Charles and
William, having preceded her to the
great beyond several years ago.
About the year 1859, her compan-
ion was ais ocalled to pay the final
debt.
In 1909 she came to this country tc
make her home with her nieces, Mrs
Jennie McNew and Mrs. Mamie
Smith.
She is survived by one son, John
H. Smith, Of this place, and daugh,
ter, Mrs. Susan Mills, of Chicago
ILL.,. also by two grandchildren.
We have known this good lady for
the past ten years, and to know hel
was to love her. She was always
cheerful, kind and generous to all.
She had an unbreakable faith in the
Christ she loved so we'll, and was con-
stantly reading the word of God.
The writer remembers hearing her say
some time ago that she had read hel
Bible through several times. She al
so said she was ready and willing to
go at any time the final summonds
came. She did not fear death but
seemed anxious to go home, where
there is no sorrow, no pain, no sick
ness and no death; where no sad
good-byes are said, and no farewell
tears are shed; but where all is peace,
love and happiness forever.
She will not only be missed by her
children and other relatives but by all
who knew her. Weep not, dear ones,
as God knows best. His will be done
and not ours.
We knew not why God dealeth so,
As through this vale of sin we go;
Why death and sorrow come so near,
To pain the heart and bring the tear.
We know not why God dealeth thus,
As he looks down in love to US;
1t seems, by times, it is His wrath,
That He with darkness pours our
path.
But this we know, "Our God is love, "
And from His glorious throne above
Sees all things in this vale below,
And knoweth why He dealeth So
