Ck" McLoudon died at the sauitorium here on Fridav afternoon at 4 o'clock. With him when he breathed his last were his wife, his brother, and two sif ters. It will he remembered that En gineer MeLendo.n was shot on the night of August 6th, while the mob was stormuig the jail. The ballet entered his left thigh, pass ing tlirongh the limb. He was . removed to the sanitorium and an examination of his wound de veloped the fact that it was very serious. but the attending physi cians believed there was a chance for the unfortunate man. The patient's condition grew worse, and amputation of the leg be came necessary. After the opera tion his condition became so seri ous that it was evident his death was only a matter of a short time. Solicitor Hammer secured a statement from McLendon short ly before his death. This was to the effect that he was with the crowd at the rear door of the jail when he was shot. lie denied emphatically being one of the mob, and said he was with the crowd merely through curiosity. He also said that while those near him were hammering on the door, he took no part in it whatever. He stated to the Solicitor that he had walked from Spencer to Sal isbury that night, not having cash to pay car fare, that he had lost his position as engineer but had intended to go to work at the shops the next day. The remains were taken to Ma con, Ga., the former home of the deceased, for interment. - To Which Cfast do ifoa Belong'"- The world bestows its big prizes in money and honors . for but one thing initiative. What is ini tiative? I It consists in doing the right thing without being told. The- next: best thing to doing a thing without being told, is to do' it when you-are told once. ; Some people never do a thing until they are told twice ; such get no hon-. ors and small pay. Then there are those who do the right thing only whon necessity kicks them from behind. This class spends most of its time polishing a bench with a hard-luck story. Still lower down in the scale is the fel low who will not do the right thing even when some one goes along to show him how, and stays to see that he does it : he is al ways out of a job, and receives only the contempt he deserves, unless he has"a rich pa, in which case destiny natientlv awaits around ed club the corner with a stuff- Elbert Hubbard. Food Stuffs Destroyed. Three hundred and fifty thous and pounds of food stuffs were de stroyed in Chicago last week, ac cording to . the Health Depart ment, because they were impure. The bulletin says the food in spectors in tho downtown dis tricts alone condemned and de stroyed; 50, 719 pounds. This in cludes 16,000 pounds of canned goods and 230 pounds, of fruit and vegetables.- Chicago d i s-patch. Glie State Equal Chance. r Judge Walter H. Neal has sent a letter to the press of the State, in which he.sayst- -' Under the law as it now exists in this State,", when - a person is charged witH the commission 6f a capital criminal offense and is placed on trial , he m ay challenge peremptorily twenty three jurors and th& State can challenge only four. From an i expedience in the practice of law, and then five year's work on the bsncb, it is clear to my mind that the sta tute ought to be changed, so that in the trial of . the offenses of arson, rape, murder and burglary, the four capital felonies, the State ought to have the same number of challenges as the pris oner. It is my deliberate - opini on that this will help solve the lynching problem." Killed by a Landslide. This afternoon at the works of Vaughn & Company here, one man lost his life and several oth ers were seriously injured. .A point of the bluffs at Lee street were being sloped, and the. fore man and nine men were on top of the cliff. The cliff was about 50 feet high and a huge boulder pro jected, on which the men were standing, when the foundation gave way and started an ava lanche of dirt and hugh stones. Foreman J. D. Lynch was crush ed to death, and the others re ceived- wounds of a more or less serious nature. Bluefi eld. W. Va., dispatch. Officers Ordered in.
