After accomplishing this, axe in

ledge formed by the bumper in front
OF the caboose-drivlng his face into
the front of the caboose; and he only
grasped the steel rod leading from
the brake-chains to the wheel on the
roof in time to avoid falling half
stunned between the front of the ca
bOOse and the rest Of the logging
truck. The caboose had once been a
box car; hence there was no rallied

have leaped in safety. Clinging peril

effects of the blow when, leaping down
from the loaded truck to the caboose

was bruised. skinned, and bloody; his
nose had been broken, and twin rivu-

wiped it away, swung his axe, drove

CRIME WAVE.

A crime wave seems to have
hit this place. Thieves are plen'
tiful, murder has been committed
and wild-catters are making
whiskey.
The News has had more crimes
chronicled for this place recently
than it has ever had to report.
The case of the negro who was
jailed Monday for going rampant
thru the effects of liquor, is
causing great comment. If the
liquor was furnished the negro
by a white man, that man is
lower down in caste than the
negro. his victim, for he deLiber-
ately gave him stuff which made
him lose all reason so that he be-
came so dangerous that his own
father had to secure his arrest.
That negro while under the in
fiuence of the poison given him,
might have committed a crime
that would have caused Marion
the disgrace of a lynching.
We hope the grand jury in
October will investigate this case
and find out who it was that gave
the negro this liquor, for that
man is more worthy of punish
ment than the ignorant negro,
his victim.
This condition is extremely re-
grettable. from the fact that at
one time Sequachee had the rep.
utation of being the foremost

THE DEMOCRATIC HUSTLER

The South Pittsburg Hustler
claims to be independent, but
this wall of sorrow over the re-
cent grant to the women of the
county of the right to vote, shows
that it is in a peculiar plight. 1t
rants at the democrats and it
bowls at the republicans alike.
Just what advantage for par
ty or for self could have been
foreseen by democratic leaders
will remain matter for specula-
ton. Party expediency was a
pitfall tor more than one pair OF
unwary feet. and now, in the
light of recent exposures, we
are moved to wonder just how
far they are for the realization OF
their dream of party betterment:
Misguided democrats, outwltted
by women who have risen to lead
ership of the suffrage movement
by display of persuasive powers,
saw a mirage in which America
became a nation of democratlzed
women, with even the negress OF
the south. stepped since the GUS
in republican lore and tradition,
marching under the Haunting
banners of Cox and the demo-
cratic party
And did not it's own beloved
Wilson send a message to hasten
the work of ratifying suffrage,
for fear the dastardly Vermont
republicans would finish the work
of enfranchising the women of
the land? /.
The News does not know how
the women will vote. 1t knows
how they ought to vote to save
their sons from becoming cannon
fodder in Europe. Knowing
that the women of California
and Kansas were fooled once in
their voting, it hopes that they
will not be fooled again.
The News is glad even with
the poor record SO far, that the
women Of the entire nation can
now vote. Unlike the Hustler
it is for them. The mothers of
the land assuredly' are as worthy
of a vote as their sons.

II. S. PRYOR
PASSES AWAY
Contributedl

| CSNAS l. JOA, 1abiASA u %'AAS
Brown, quietly passed away.
Mr.. Pryor had been in poor health
for several weeks and when the
end came it was no great sur
prise to his family.
Mr.. Pryor belonged to one of
the oldest and best known fami-
lies of Sequatchie Valley. His
father, Mathew Pryor, was one
of the first white settlers of the
valley. He lived near where
Victoria now is. Mathew Pry-
or's second wife. whose name
was Williams, was also a native
of Sequatchie Valley.
OF this union twelve children
were born, of whom R. S. Pryor
was the second child, Only Two
more Of these children remain
living, Madison c. Pryor, of
Whitwell. and Mrs. Henrietta
Randle, of Chattanooga.
Mr., Pryor was born and raised
on a farm where he remained un-
til he was q years of age, when
he volunteered and served three
years during the civil war in Co.
|, 10th Tenn, Infantry. He was
a member of the local Grand Ar
my Post and was a Master Ma
son in good standing for more
than fifty years.
He never belonged to any
church, but gave of his means in
support of the same.
After receiving an honorable
discharge from the union army
in sixty'tive he came back to the
farm and remained there until
he married in 1868. His wife
was Miss Marion Louise Bridge
man, of Jasper. Of this union
five children were born: Mintie,
wife of H. R. Gillian, of Ketch-
all; Mollie, wife of j. w. Brown,
living near Jasper; John Adams
who died in infancy; Leslie. of
Chattanooga; and Bonnie, who
died about the time she was
grown.
Perhaps no man in Marion
county was more generally and
favorably known than was Mr..
Pryor. 1t was easy to know
him. He was reasonably con-
sentative, but he left no one in
the dark when it became a duty |
to express himself. He was
known for his honesty and fair
dealing, coupled with strict
punctuality and accurate methods
in all his dealings. This was his
ideal of man. He disliked with |
all his power, two-facedness and
crooked dealing. At one time he
served as sheriff of his county
and in that and all other relations
he proved himself an honest |
man.
After he married he formed |
and organized a business of mer-
chandising at Jasper. under the |
firm name of Pryor & Payne, |
Mr.. Payne being the late ]. D. |
Payne, a brother-in law. On &C.
count of his hearing failing he
vas forced to quit this business.
When he sold his business he
bought a farm near near Jasper.
where he lived and engaged in
'arming until few years ago
when he turned over the man
lgement to his son. Leslie.
He sold this farm only a few
weeks ago and was at the time of
lis death staying with his daugh-
er, Mrs. J. w. Brown.
His suffering at times was in
ense, but he bore up without
carcely a murmur. Endowed
With strong resolution and a no.
lie principle, his life should be
mulated for its merits.
