1 KILLED 5 HURT .
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Automobile Struck by Fast
Train at Crossing at
Tuckerman
Cloyce Bonner, aged 12
was. killed, two girls were
dangerously injured and three
other members of an auto
mobile party were slightly,
hurt about 5 o’clock Sunday
afternon at Tuckerman, wher
the automobile in which they
were riding was struck by fasl
pasenger train No. 3.
Mr. Bonner, who was driv
ing the car, failed to see tht
approaching train, as he was
watching a buggy that was
just ahead of his car, and was
upon the track before he was
aware of his danger. He
speeded up his engine in an
effort to beat the train across
the track but failed by a few
inches, and the train struck
the rear end of the car,
throwing it several feet.
The engineer stopped tht
train and the injured persons
were taken aboard the train
and carried to Newport. Tht
boy died from his injuries just
after being placed on the op
erating table in a sanitarium
in Newport. His body was
badly mangled.
Mr. and Mrs. Bonner were
only slightly injured, but their
two daughters, Bertha, aged
15, and Pearl, aged 17, were
seriously injured. It is thought
that they will recover, how
ever.
The party left the Bonner
home near Newport about
noon to attend a funeral near
Tuckerman and were return
ing home when the accident
occurred.

DOGS BETTER
THAN BABIES
I wonder what the thous
ands of homeless families now
living in tents will do when
winter comes upon them?
I wonder, too, where young
married couples with a new
baby, or a pair of little ones,
are going to find shelter in
the cities, as it has now be
come the well nigh unfailing
rule of landlords to refuse to
rent to persons with children.
Think of lap dogs being ac
cepted without question as
tenants, while winsome little
sister or friendly little broth
er are barred.
Some landlords even put
this satanic and immoral
clause in their leases: “No ba
bies permitted.”
“Suffer little children to
come unto me,’’said Jesus “and
forbid them not.” Woe to the
nation that does forbid them,
for its downfall is certain.
I know of one happy young
couple who were ordered to
move in dead of winter be
cause a little son had been
born to them.
On the floor above them
was a woman who kept poodle
dogs but had no children.
She and her dogs were al
lowed to remain without ques
tion. Think of dogs being pre
ferred to babies, in a suppos
edly Christian civilized land,
while young parents and their
baby are turned out of house
and home.
Small children are destruc
tive; it is a necessary part of
their development. They must
romp and race ano tear, and
where they do there are foot
prints and finger prints, like
those of pittypat and tippytoe
in Eugene Field’s delightful
child poem.
These same landlords 40 or
50 years back were happy,
careless, go-lucky little folk of
their day. They made trouble
for somebody. What if to be
born then had meant that
their parents and their be
longings would be hustled out
into the streets; what if lap
dogs were then thought better
of than babies and were more
welcome?
And do these same landlords
owe no childhood debt to the
world? What do you think?
No place is a home that bars ,
children. Let those who rent
homes build sensible apart
ments that can be well kept
despite the marks of tiny fin- ■
gers. I am not sure but that
the time has come when in the
interest of humanity and the
race and nations, the law
should prescribe that no man
be refused a home and shelter r
because he has a wife and chil
dren. Every child is entitled !
to a home.

That’s what the gang attempt
ed to do to Joe Ryan in one (
episode of “Hidden Dangers” j
when they tied him to a rope
and left him hanging in mid- ;
air from the side of a great <
cliff. See the second episode
at the Royal Saturday night.
The days are getting short- j
er and the Saturday night j
show will start at 7:30 at the <

PICK COTTON AS
FAST AS OPEN
There is an urgent need this
fall to pick cotton as fast as i:
is ready and while it is white;
to gather it free from trash
and dirt; to gin it dry, clean
and without gin cuts and to
put it as soon as ginned under
such shelter that it cannot
become stained or damaged in
ally other way until it is sold
and delivered.
Five million bales principal
ly of undesirable cotton have
been carried over. Much of
it is stained, moldy, matted
or otherwise so damaged or
so short that it cannot be used
in making cloth or other cot
ton products of high grade.
This enormous quantity of
low grade cotton that has
been carried over is not want
ed by the spinners in this
country and in Europe because
the people do not want the
goods that can be made from
it. It is a strong force to
wards pounding down the
price of this year’s crop.
Every bale of new cotton
damaged in any way will add
to the great quantity of unde
sirable cotton now on hand
and will help to cut down still
more the price that growers
will get for the new crop.

ELOPING WIFE IS
LOCATED AT HOTEL
It was midnight at a coun
try hotel. Wifey, who had be
come peeved at hubby, had
eloped with a “handsomer
man,” and they had taken ad
joining rooms at the hotel.
Wifey had aroused the neigh
borhood by almost scratching
the man bald-headed because
he tried to steal a kiss—which
he thought he was entitled to
because she eloped with him.
Then hubby arrives—hot un
der the collar and cussing on
all twelve cylinders—and
makes straight for wife’s
room. The brave hotel clerk
who is also the village con
stable grabs his trusty six
shooter and makes for the
scene. This is only one of the
many high spots in the Con
stance Talmadge comedy
drama, “The Temperamental
Wife,” at the Royal Tuesday,
September 21.

BOY STRUCK BY AUTO
SERIOUSLY INJURED
Paul Lindsey Seriously Injur
ed in Auto Accident But
Will Recover
Paul Lindey, eleven year old
son of Mr. and Mrs. T. D.
Lindsey, was struck by a car
driven by James Dearing late
Thursday afternoon and was
seriously injured.
Paul Lindsey, and Lovey
Pridmore were riding bicycle*
but had dismounted near the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. J.
K. Rawlings. The boys knew
the car was coming but seem
ed to have misjudged its dis
tance and young Lindsey
started to cross the street im
mediately in front of the car.
James Dearing who was driv
ing the car, attempted to
dodge the boy and gave the
car such a sharp turn that it
almost turned over. The boy’s
clothing was caught.in the car
and he was thrown against the
ground with such force that ^
deep gash several inches long
was cut on his head, causing
him to bleed profusely. He
was severely injured on the
back of his head and it was
feared for some time that his
skull w'as fractured. He was
in a serious condition for
some time but is now improv
ing nicely.
The accident seems to have
been unavoidable and no
blame attaches to anyone, ac
cording to parties who wit
nessed it. Young Dearing was
not driving fast and had blown
his horn several times, it is
said, and it was evident that
the lad misjudged the distance
of the approaching car when
he attempted to cross the
street.
