Engineer Saw Tot Toddling Along
Track* But Too Late to Stop
HU Big Mogul
Atlanta, April story was
brought to Atlanta from Rutledge,
Ga., today, of a three year old baby,
daughter of one Doll Hawkins, being
struck by a locomotive and hurled
fifteen feet without being hurt.
According to the statement of A.
A. Barker, who says he saw the oc
currence, the child was playing, seat
ed on the middle of the railroad track
when the locomotive came along, one
of the biggest moguls on the Georgia
road. The engineer saw the baby just
as she toddled to her feet and put on
brakes, but too late. The , engine
struck the child and hurled her fif
teen feet into a pile of rocks. The
baby was picked up bleeding about
the face and supposedly dead, but a
doctor's examination revealed that
aside from a few cuts and bruises the
little one was uninjured. No bones
were broken and there were no inter
nal injuries.
ADVERTISING PAYS FARMERS
One Sells $1,000 Worth ef Produce
at Cost of $10
Atlanta, March 29.—That the far
mer can use advertising to just as
ggml advantage as the merchant has
Ifwfn proved by several wide-awake
agriculturists, according to reports
from the government
One Southern farmer had some
com to sell. It was good com, the
price was right, but the farmer had
no time to peddle it. He called up
$he office of his home paper and gave
an order for a four-line advertise
ment. Before the week was out he
sold his 420 bushels at good figures.
The next year the farmer had learned
the uses of advertising, so he spread
out a littlo. He sold farm products
amounting to $1,000 for an advertis
ing expense of ten dollars.

Bell was on the mound for the

only a few hits. He was opposed b/
Brown, who though he did not hold
the Aggies to so few hits, had his

The Aggies were in much better

are counting upon getting even with
Sparks when the latter plays them a

WITH FROST ON ITS TAIL
March Came In Like a Lion and Went
Out That Way Too
Atlanta, April 1.—Old Windy
March played the biggest April Fool
joke in Atlanta last night, by failing
to “go out like a lamb," and instead
paving the way for a chilly All Fools'
Day, that may bring a freeze before
night.
Usually in this Georgia climate, the
old adage about March “Coming in
like a lion and going out like a lamb,"
proves itself truo enough, but the
lamb this year turned out to be a ram,
and a wild and wooly one at that.
It cavorted and snorted rll night, and
when it finally did make its departure
there was frost on its tail.

SHERIFF’S SALE
And Are Yelling “Injustice" to Coun
cal Because It Wants Pay
for Use of Streets
Atlanta, April 1.—The coming leg
islature will probably be asked by the
city of Atlanta to give the city the | inswa'nce^Company!
necessary authority to require fran
chises for the use of the streets by
jitney bus lines and for other jitney
bus regulations.
The city has been endeavoring to
draw up a regulating ordinance for
some days past, but City Attorney
Mayson has expressed the opinion
that the jitney lines cannot be forced
to apply for franchises unless special
authority is given to the city by the
legislature. ^ -
“If we are going to have jitneys
permanently in Atlanta it is only
right and fair thai we should charge
them for the use of the streets just
as we do the street* car company,"
say leading coundjtjfren.
Meanwhile the jifcriey bus operators
are sticking out thtirfanguea at city
council, and screamjtaj; “injustice" at
the top of tbtir vtrife^nd ■ contending
that they ought to/bt allowed to do
exactly as they ple$si after they have
paid a taxicab license of each car.
