When the house bill! of Mr.,Wilcox,
of Irwin, to abolish the dispensary of

the matter to the people, which was
lost by a vote of >0 to 7.
Senator Steed moved to recommit the

ATALLY HURT MAN IMAY tOT OPEN POLLS
TAKEN TO HOSPITAL IN COLOUITT COUNTY
IN. FLYING AUTO
After being fatally injured In a etreet
car accident tn Weet End Thuraday
night ahnrtly before midnight, Conduc-
tor J. C, Hightower, of the Georgia
Railway and Electric Company, whose
home le In Fraeer street, wa* taken to
the Grady hospital tn an apparently
dying condition In an automobile,
which skimmed over th* deserted thpr-
oughfares at record speed.
Th* auto la owned and waa opera, id
by Julian F. Baxter. Th* machine
reached the acene of the accident Juet
after It occurred, and. reallxtng that
the condition of Conductor Hightower
wa* desperate, Mr. Baxter placed him
In th* auto. A race for life then com
menced. Mr. Baxter pulling the ma
chine open and rushing through the
street! like Ihe wind In an effort to get
the Injured m*n to medical aid at Ihe
quickset possible moment. It wa* the
space of only a few mlnutea until the
auto rolled up to the hospital entrance
and Hightower was hurried Into the
operating room.
A remarkable feature of the run Is
th* fact that the machine broke down
Juet after reaching th* hoepltal and
refused to budge when Mr. Baxter
tried to start It on the return trip. It
was some time before the machine woa
finally got In repair.
Conductor Hightower waa Injured aa
the result of the derailment of the last
Incoming car from West End. the ac
cident occurring at Gordon and Hold-
erness streets. The car left tha rail*
at a switch, and, after running ovtr

Conductor Hightower la reported In
an extremely critical condition and all
hope of his recovery ha* been aban
doned. HI* death Is regarded as a
matter of only a ehort time. He was
Internslly Injured and ht* hip waa also

FOBPRIMARY ELECTION
Special to Tbs Georgian.
Moultrie, Ga., Aug. 2 —Financing the
approaching state primary ta a ques
tion that Is agitating the minds of the
local organisation of the Democratic
party. Chairman Z. H. Clark of the
county executive committee said to
day that there waa some doubt about
there being any primary held In this
county. There Is no money In the
treasury and he thinks It Improbable
that the candidates will stand for nn
assessment from every county, or even
two-thirds of th* countlee of the state.
There are thirteen voting places In
this county, and 2,100 white quatlfled
voters. It costs 1300 minimum to hold
an election, when th* polling places all
over th* county are opened. The coun
ty commissioners of this county have
recently refused to pay a portion of the
expenses of th* county prtmary, which
was held two months ago, and ft la
presumed will refuse tn bear J£e ex
pensee of the stale primary.
The registrars of the county will re
fuse to make out the voters' lists until
some assurance - Is forthcoming that
they wilt receive nay. There are tlrk-
eta and etsctlon blanks tn b* print,d
and none of this will be undertaken un
less some scheme presents Itself for
raising the money. Chairman Clark
hae written to State Chairman Yeo-
mans to get hie advice In the matter.

BRINDAMOUR ESCAPES
LEA VING CELL LOCKED
Brlndamour, the handcuff wonder and
jaiibreaker, who has been mystifying
audiences at the Casino this week, suc
cessfully broke out of the Atlanta police
station Thursday night* after having
been locked lit a cell and both of his
hands handcuffed to the barred cell
door.
The feat required Just two minutes
and forty-live seconds.
And it places the Atlanta prison on
the record as the four hundred and
sixty-seventh Jail broken by the mar
velous Brlndamour.
Police Captain Mayo and several po
lice officers were present at the station
Thursday night when Brlndamour vis
ited the prison and performed hia re
markable act. None of the officers be
lieved the man could do what he
claimed, but it was only a few minutes
until their opinion materially changed.
Brlndamour was taken into cell No.
28 and a pair of handcuffs placed on
either wrist. One hand was then fast
ened near the tpp of the cell door, as
high as the “prisoner*’ could reach, and
the other handcuffed to the bottom
portion of the door. The strongly
barred door was then closed and se
curely locked by Turnkey Brannan, it
fastening with a spring lock.
The auditors then retired from the
cofrldor and awaited developments.
Two minutes and forty-flve seconds
from the time the door was closed
Brlndamour stood in the corridor, a
pair of handcuffs dangling from each
hand, and the cell door still locked.
An announcement of thlB feat was
made by Brlndamour a short while
later Thursday night from the Casino
stage.
In breaking out of 467 jalla, Brlnda-
mour has won the record of being tho
only man who ever broke from Sing
Sing prison. —

GOVERNOR POOH-POOHS
Al ATTORNEY COOPER
Attorney John R. Cooper came to
Atlanta late Thursday afternoon, pos
sessed of the Idea that a plot waa on
foot In Valdosta to lynch the Rawlins
and Alf Moore.
He visited the governor, who laughed
the Macon man out of any such wild
notion.
"John," said the governor, "I don’t
think there's the least danger of any
kind of a demonstration In Valdosta.
But maybe you’d best not go down
there without a military escort.”
And by this kind of “Joshing” Gov
ernor Terrell appeased the fears of the
lawyer who haa fought ao hard to save
his clients.
According to a story In The Macon
News, Mr*. J. O. Rawlln* came to
Macon Wednesday night and had a
long consultation with Mr. Cooper. She
tried to keep her presence-secret, but
It became known that she was In the
city.
It Is probable that Mrs. Rawlins was
unduly excited over the matter, nnd
communicated her fears to Mr, Cooper.
At any rate, he made a hurry-up trip
to Atlanta to see Governor Terrell.

WHISKY MEN WANT
TO EMPLOY MINORS
FORTY CAR REPAIRERS
ARE ON STRIKE HERE
As result of the strike of the Broth
erhood of Railway Carmen which was
declared on the Central of Georgia
Railway Thursday, about forty Inspec
tors and car repairer* are reported to
have walked out In the Atlanta yards.
These men claim that tht strike was
precipitated because of the fact that
they made a demand for Increase In
wages of 2 1-2 cents an hour on the
average, and this was dented, but later
when ordinary negro day laborers
made a demand for Increased wages,
they got It.
The whisky dealers were again In
the foreground at a meeting of the
police committee held In the mayor's
parlors Friday morning. The Foster
ordinance pertaining to minora work
ing In liquor houses waa up for dis
cussion. It was decided to return th*
ordinance to council with a substitute,
which will only allow minora to work
tn liquor houaea with the consent of
parents and no children under the sge
of 15 to be allowed to work In connec
tion with such business.
Benjamin Z. Phillips, of the law-
firm of Slaton A Phillips, represented
the liquor men. He based hi* argu
ment on paternalism, declaring that
the council. If It passed the Foster ordi
nance, took authority out of the pa
rents' hands nnd that this character of
legislation had been condemned since
the sixteenth century. The attorney
aened that minors at least be allowed
to work with the consent of the pa
rent*.
Councilman Foster stated that there
were laws preventing minora from en
tering pool room* and saloon*: that
they had been considered good laws,
and certainly the on* under discussion
was a good one. He gave .examples of
children who were taken to the police
station with the delirium tremens, and
■aid that the men who opposed the law
were only attempting to save a few
dollars at tbe expense of humanity,
while they wore diamonds as large as
chestnuts.
At this Juncture one of the liquor
men, who was resplendent wltn dia
monds, turned a largo Jewel ornament
ing hta finger, toward the Inside of his
hand and quietly took from his necktie
a "headlight" and sheepishly hid Ita
glare under hta coat.
The only other matter of Importance
was the unfavorable report on Ihe ordi
nance taking from Reid Gordon, 13
Decatur etreet, the license to have s
door on Edgewood avenue.
