ALMOST CRUSHED UNDER A CAR Bearing Down on the Unconcerned Youngster, When Bob King Leaned Over and Grabbed the Kid. Sunday afternoon, Motorman ‘'Bob” King rescued a small pickaninny from being ground to pulp beneath his car King was on the Mobley Spring line on that day. About a quarter of a mile beyond Lytle’s spring there are two Mus<s>..to*.Mt fit ;.th® track going to ward* ttie park. These 'houses are oc cupied by colored families. Sunday afternoon King’s car was spin ning merrily along towards Mobley’s. Just at these houses there is a sharp curve in the track, and it is down grade. The electric cars shoot around this bend at pretty lively clip, the bell always ring ing a sharp alarm. The car raced around the curve, and Motorman King was horrified to see a small negro seated squarely in the middle of the track playing. He shut the current off, wrenched the brake as tight as possible, and made the bell jangle fearfully. But all unconscious of danger the pickaninny continued its play. King saw that he could not stop his car before striking the kid, so he in stantly formed a daring idea. Just before tbe car reached tbe lit tie negro, the motorman leaned far down in front, and seized the tiny African by the clothing. The strain on the good arm was ter rifle, and the coon was kicking and yelling with fright. King’s grasp was not a good one, and tbe wiggling lump of humanity slipped loose before the car had stopped. The little negro was in the centre of the track, and as the car passed over it, the brake . caught and dragged it some distance. As soon as the car stopped King leaped down, exp.eting to find the shapeless remains ot the coon. But that youngster crawled out and scuttled across to tbe house as fast as bis short limbs would carry him. It was not hurt in the slightest. King’s presence of mind undoubted ly saved the pickaninny from instant death. Bob King is one of the road’s most reliable motormen, and did not seem to think be had done anything out of the ordinary.

It was awarded the medal at the World’s Fair of ninety-three, It has a record of 50 Years of Cures. EMERGENCY HOSPITAL. Thanksgiving Collections of All the Churches Will Be Given to it. The thanksgiving collections at the churches will be given to the Emer gency hospital. The Tribune is requested to state that all who prefer to make hontribu t one of provisions, clothing or such should send direct to the hospital on Thursday. One poor woman has come to the hospital without a change of clothing and the ladies wish tbe good people would send some. Everyone should give as freely as possible to this noble charity. The good ladies of Rome have worked in cessantly for it, and had it not been for their labors the institution would not have lived. It has seen stormy days, days when it seemed impossible to keep tbe Emergency open, but they only in creased tbeir efforts, and placed their trust in providence, and somehow things have come through. It is a pleasure to state that. Romans are waking up to the importance of this institution and the work it is ac complishing. It was started last June one year ago. There was only one patient at first, and the beginning was very modest indeed. But it has grown all the while, and now is in fairly good condition. They have, had as many as thirteen patients at once, and in their present commodious quarters in the Holmes building on Second avenue have accommodations for twenty patients. Tbe ladies are working to buy a home for Emergency and have a very neat sum on hand now. Let everybody give money or some thing Thursday and make it a day long to be remembered. —■ ■ " • t —_ 49 of the latest up4o/date novelty suits, yet unsold and will be sold by Parks, Brannon £ Co,, to at cost and all the linings etc put in free of charge, ’ POINTS ABOUT PEOPLE.

There was considerable coLfusion and no little kicking last night at tbe initial performance of the Dan A. Kelly Company. . Bunday’s Tribune announced that ‘‘ladies would be admitted free if with a person holding a paid thirty cent ticket.” This was done through the blundering of the advance man. He left a lot of prepared press notices with Tbe Tribune, as is tbe custom, and of course was used just as prepared. Last night many couples were Out on the strength of tbe proposit.oa, but instead of one 30 cent ticket per couple, it took two fifty cent tickets. The company is a popular price one only, but is psaying here at advanced prices over those charged in Atlanta. They give a very clever performance, however, and quite a good crowd was out last evening. They play again to night. "Hill Crest" the residence of • A. W.
