Pa <] Good Prohibition Leader Barely Wj .UlMNcd Being Killed. "b Mr. W. H. IlamllD of McCormiek, was In tnir-n tBRt Monday. He Informs the Press I "i* arid Banner thai Mr. W O. Sturkey, problbl- f? lion leader about McCormlck, wan nearly ln killed one day last week. As we understand, fei Mr. Sturkey was Innocently measuring a log 111 that bad just been lowered to the ground by a" he hooks of the log cart When the animals P" attached to the log cart moved off, one of the nooks caught In the side of the log. This un- J*" wound the chain that was fastened around* , he revolving axel on the top of the cart. At be time the revolving axle had In one of Its yes a strong lever. When the axle turned It fu threw the lever down with great force, strlkIng Mr. Sturkey on the shoulder, Instead of on the beud. some bones were broken In his shoulder and some Joints were dislocated. Mr. Hamlin reports that the physicians said, If the lever had come down on the top of c bis head, lnsteud of on his shoulder, that Mr. . Sturk?-y w>>u!d Dot have ever known that be 1 was hit. Ah ihe lever bit him on the shoulder *? However, instead of the head, Mr. sturkey has beeu a treat (-utlerer ever slDce, being ln Et Of<J part of the time. & Mr HninliD did not Inform ub whether this accident whs lmended to be taken as a warn- ca Ing toother problblilonlsts, or whether the b? hltt'ng of Mr. Stirkey on the shoulder Instead of upon the head was merely to teach him the pos-sibe fate that awaits him If be 21 persists In trying to make McCormlck pay Hl' for our U<?urt House by taxation, Instead of allowing Georgians and people from the ad- p? jn'nlng counties to settle the trill. < Hut wha'ever the lesson, the Pre?s and Ban- f0' ner is truly glad that the lever did not come down on tne top of Mr. Sturkey's bead. As that mighty Instrument had to bit bim at all. Dc It Is better that Itdldhltblm In a place that would cause some suffering and give htm If time for pious meditation as well as a chance st to serve the course of lemperauce during the oralng campaign. We need blm In the ause of temperance, but we do not know wh?t the adjoining couutles, and the Slate of Georgia may tbtnk about 1L And really we do not care as long as so good a man as Mr. Sturkey Is not bit on the top of bis bead. fr( I rv 1* U.
