LITTLE GIRL IS KILLED
BY AUTO NEAR SCHOOL
Annie Lou Smith, Aged Nine,
Dies at Hospital From In
ternal Injuries.
Annie Lou Smith, 'the nine-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mr*. Lee Smith, of
lit Creecent-are.. who wa» run oyer by
an automobll* Wednesday afternoon,
died an hour later at St. Joaeph*'In
firmary.
The accident occurred at Peachtree
and Tenth-st*. a* the little girl was
coming home from the Tenth-at. achonl.
Her father la a member of the firm of
Richards & Smith, meat dealer*,,and,
£ .hearing the crlea, he ruahed from ilia
.ticked the child

R
heumatism
I* a blood disease. .It can
be cured only by ridding the
blood of extraneous matter. Hood's
Sarsaparilla cures It, aa It doe* other
blood dlseaae*. < "The necessity for a
good blood purifier," writes W. G. Skin
ner, Wakefleld, Maas., was flrat Im
pressed on me when I'took Hood'a Sar
saparilla for a severe attack of rheuma
tism. A* soon as I Began to take this
medicine, I felt better and In a abort
time I waa entirely cured, and have
been In good condition ever since."

Dr. Lyon’s
PERFECT
Tooth Powder
is used by people of refinement in every part of the
world where the use of the tooth brush is known
‘ had seen the accident recovered from
^ the shock enough to aid her.
The car was owned and driven by J
H. Whitten. Mr. Whitten waa coming
up the hill toward town at the time,
' and. according In witnesses, was run
ning slowly when the child darted In
front of his machine. He cut his front
wheels around, almost going Into the
sidewalk. The rear wheels skidded
over the smooth pavement and turned
the car so that right rear wheel knocked
- the little girl down and passed over her
“body.
According to all who aaw It, the ac
cident was unavoidable. Mr. Smith
puts the blame chiefly on the city, for
. not having a traffic officer on duty, at
j that corner. He said that nearly 300
small children pass that comer twice
each day and that an officer should be
.. placed there to give them warning and
see them safely across, especially-' In
’ tht afternoon when they hurry'from
school In groups of three and tout.',;
' After taking the child and her par
ents to the hospital, Mr. Whitten re-
: .turned and gave himself up. He was
afterward released under a 11,000 bond
pending an Investigation.
The funeral services will bo held at
10 o'clock Friday morning from the
family residence, and the remains will
.be Interred at Oakland. The services
will bo conducted by Rev. W. W, West.
Frank Peavy, J. M. Donaldson. Clark
Donaldson and Carl Wesley will act as
pallbearers.

I* Marietta at., El

Jacobs' Pharmacy.
For the protection of small borrow
er* from the grip of loan sharke, busi
ness men In Baltimore have organised
an aiioclatlon that I* exactly like the
Atlanta Loan and Saving Company. It
I* known a* the Mutual Security Loan
Association of Baltimore.
The organisation of this company Is
the result of a general need for the
relief of small borrower# who have
heretofore been confronted with no ref-
ugv but the danger of money lenders.
The Baltimore News quotes at
length from a report by President
Woodr-Whlte of the Atlanta company
to show the effectiveness of the At
lanta Loan and Saving Company and
the need of a similar Institution In Bal.
tlmore.
Not only does this report show,"
comments The News, "that the Atlanta
company has brought about what will
amount to an annual saving of 310,000
to former loan shark victims of that
city, but that the business done has
yielded more than six per cent on a
capital Investment of 300,000, even
when tho fact Is taken Into considera
tion that but a fourth of this capital
was paid In when thd company started
business.
."The effect of the Atlanta comp
on the loon business has been phll
throplo to the extent that It has of
fered a refuge for the poorer elaseeg of
Atlanta from loan sharks who have
defied every effort to regulate tho chat
tel business thru legislation. .,
"Tho Atlanta company has been do
Ing business sine* June 19. 1911. In
little more than four months, according
to President Woods White, 363,000 has
bean placed In 436 small loans among
oil classes of borrowers, with tho result
that the company has made net earn
ings In four months of 34,226.33 on a
capital of 360,000.
"The organization of tho company
was t ho culmination cf years cf fruit-
leas struggle ngalnst the ruinous rates
ami cruel method* of the loan shnrks
of Atlanta. Successive efforts had been
made to correct the evil thru legislation.
Laws passed to allow the small money
lender generous terms, but restrict him
to square dealing, were ignored or de
feated by new methods of extortion,
such as those whlrh have defeated sim
ilar law# passed In Maryland. Subse
quent laws were passed making usury
a crime, but these, too, were defied by
the Atlanta 'sharks.' Grand Jury after
grand Jury exposed startling facts con
cerning the methods of the money lend
ers, and disclosed evidence* of •perni
cious collusion between 'loan sharks'
and Justices of the peace. Facts were
published that charged up against these
lenders diabolical practices for extort
ing from tholr helpless victim* the
money that should have gone for food
and clothing. Just as la now the case
In Baltimore, legislation and publicity
failed to rid Atlanta of th« evil.
-Under these conditions the Atlanta
company was chartered, stock sub
scribed and buetness begun last June.
That the company has reached the class
Of borrowers moat likely to fall victim
to loan sharks Is shown In tho report
of President White.”

GEORGIA STUDENTS "KNOCKED"

Athena, Ga., Dec. 14,—Had a bomb
been thrown on the campus of the Uni

and yellow Journalism at Georgia had
become extinct unltl the arrival of this
latest Innovation In college literature.
Tho leading editorial of the paper
states that the purpose Is to destroy
certain undesirable students of the Uni
versity of Georgia for the good of these
students. Nq name appears at the
hoad of the editorial page nor any
where else on the paper. There are
llkewlee no advertisements. The paper
