CUT OFF HIS
USER SHFS
HEAW DAMAGES
Claiming that the Atlanta Gas Light
Company removed a meter from his
house at 469 North Boulevard, and
shut off his gas for the non-payment
of a bill which, he says, he hus re
ceipted, B. A. Harris, through his at
torney, James L. Key, filed suit In the
civil branch of tho city court Friday
for $3,000 damages against that cor
poration.
It is alleged In the bill filed that on
November J the gas company sent
Harris a bill of $4.30 for gas used dur
ing the month from September 26 to
October 26. Tho petition alleges that
this bill was paid by Harris and that
he has It now In his possession re
ceipted.
On November 27 It Is claimed that a
notice was received from the company,
saying that the gas bill for October,
amounting to $9.67, was unpaid, and
that unless It was paid by noon the
next day the meter would be removed
and the gas supply stopped. Accord
ing to the petition this was done, not
withstanding the fact that Harris
wrote the company to the effect that he
had paid his bill and had the receipt.
It is also alleged that on two pre
vious occasions the gas company’s
agents entered Harris’ house and re
moved meters and stopped furnishing
him gas without authority, and that
the gas company has repeatedly at
tempted and succeeded In humiliating
him.
After Ills gas supply was cut off,
notwithstanding the alleged fact that
the bill for the month In question was
patd and receipted for, Harris says he
was forced to light his house with
candles and lamps and to Install a cook
afove In the place of the gas range.

TRACK IS TORN UP
BY FREIGHT WRECK
Many Cars Ditched and tho
Road Js Blocked For
Many Hours, '
Special to The Georgian.
Rome, Os., Dec. 21.—A north-bound freight
train on the Central road was wrecked nt
an early hour this morning about two miles
from Rome. Hereral ears war© ditched and
the track torn up for 300 yards.
The cab broke loose from the train nnd
Jumped the track lu ten feet of n trestle,
but fortunately no on© was hurt. After
crossing the trestle several of the ears left
the track and wore dragged oomc distance,
tearing up the track ss they went.
The wreck is thought to have been caused
by the brake beam on one of the csrs com
ing loos© nnd dragging heavily on the cross
ties, tearing them up In some places and
causing the rails to spread.
Passenger trains wore delayed here sev
eral hours on account of the wreck.
MEMBER OF GOT HAM “400"
IS A VICTIM OF LEPROSY;
100 CASES EX IS 7 IN CITY
New York. Dec. 21.—“There are more
than 100 well-defined cases of leprosy
In New York today. A well-known
member of the *400' has h well-devel
oped case of the disease,” says Dr. A.
8. Ashmead, recognized authority on
leprosy.
This startling statement made today
by the best-known authority on leprosy
caused amazement.
New Yorkers thought that the leper
colony on Blackwells Island had been
abolished years ago, but today there
are five wretched men housed In wood
en sheds on the Island, patiently await
ing for death to release them.
Dr. Darlington, health commissioner,
says that leprosy Is not contagious, and
he does not feel that his department is
called upon to deal with It. Dr. Doty,
health officer of the port, when asked
what he would do if he discovered lep
rosy in an immigrant ship, replied:
"There would bo nothing for me to
do except to pass them. Their disease
would not be classed as contagious,
therefore I would have no right to In
terfere with them.”
In direct conflict with these views
arc those of Dr. Ashmead, whose ut
terances were very emphatic.
"Leprosy,” he said, “Is a great men-

Kyley filed suit In the city court Fri

the 24 animals had decreased In value
on account of bad shipment to the
amount of the damages askod.

In this discussion.
ace. The port of New York Is the
gateway of this country through which
the old world Is flocking, and It ahould
he carefully guarded. It ts criminal to
allow such a terrible plague to get root
here Just because boards of health have
not been able to discover the medium
by which the disease Is transmlttsd
and therefore they hold that It ts not I
contagious.
"Leprosy follows the lepers. It does
not exist In races where there has
never been any contact with the lepers.
It did not exist among the North Amer
ican Indians, but It does spread among
races In hot and cold countries alike
wherever contact with lepers Is estab
lished."
