Came Near Being Serious.
Yesterday afternoon Miss Joe Rounsa*
ville and Mr. George Rounsaville were
driving up Broad street and had reached
the corner of East First street. Young
Waldo Davis on his bicycle came in a
hurry," and before either the parties in
the buggy or the wheelman could prepare
for the shock young Davis rode broad,
•ide into the pony. The animal fell with
Waldo and the bicycle underneath him.
Fortunately the horse was only a pony,
and outside of a bruised leg Davis was
not much hurt. The bicycle was badly
wrenched. Neither the horse nor the
occupants of thefbuggy were hurt.

NO SMALLPOX NOW.
Patient Is Entirely Will and All the Peo
ple Have Been Released.
Yesterday the smallpox patient at
the city pest house, and the sixteen
people who have been kept there for
the sake of safety, were released.
The Atlanta negro who bad a genu
ine case of the desease has been pro
nounced as entirely recovered by city
physician Harris who has managed
the cure splendidly. When the dis
ease was first pronounced smallpox
the people on the premises, sixteen in
number, were removed to the pest
house in order to guard against all
possibilities of spreading it. But
not another case developed, and the
negroes are all in splendid health and
spirits. The guards, John Ware and
John Ford, performed their duties
faithfully and were discharged.
The work of vaccination was too
thoroughly done for there to be any
danger of a smallpox epidemic in
Rome, and it is not probable that
there will be even another sporadic
case like the one just dismissed.

During the morning and early after
noon lower Broad was literally jammed

near being a record breaker in local

Merchants were all rushed and every

NO ELECTRIC LINE
Military Committee Won’t Allow One in
Chickamauga National Park.
NO POSSIBILITY OF PASSING CONGRESS
Work on the LaFayette Road Begun.
Will Furnish a Twenty-Six Mlle
Roadway From Chattanooga.
Gen. H. V, Boynton, president of the
Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Mili
tary Park commission, who is in the city,
is of opinion that the pending before
congress, authorizing the commission to
grant the Chattanooga Rapid Transit
company permission to pass through cer
tain parts of Chickamauga park, will
never be passed, says the Chattanooga
Times.
Yesterday afternoon Gen. Boynton was
seen by a reporter for the Times and ex
pressed his opinion as to the reason why
the bill would never pass. He says that
the military committee of congress, to
which the bill has been referred, is op
posed to the measure. It will perhaps
recommend its rejection. Another fact
to be looked up to is that Congressman
John A. Moon has introduced the wrong
bill before the present congress. It ap
pears that the congressman has introduc
ed the old bill asking for the privilege of
passing through the National cemetery,
as well as the park. This is the bill
which aroused the opposition of the G.
A. R. before the last congress. The bill
drawn since does not ask for the Nation
al cemetery concession, the route of the
contemplated line having been changed.
Speaking of the project and measure
passing congress, Gen. Boynton said:
“There isn’t the slightest possibility
in the world of that bill passing con
gress for the reason that the military
committees of the house and senate
are opposed to having electric roads
enter the national parks, and the
house military committee at the last
congress, after a full and friendly
presentation of the subject by a mem
ber of the park commission, decided
it would be entirely inexpedient to
give any authority for a railroad of
any class to enter the park.
“The government has been adjudg
ed to pay $30,000 damages for remov
ing an electric road which has entered
the Gettysburg park. Although the
bill discussed by the military com
mittee gave the secretary of war and
park commission, as final authority,
full power to regulate both the lines
of construction and all other matters
of importance connected with the
control of the lines in the park, the
position taken by the committee was
that this provision might answer
every purpose while the present com
mission and secretary of war were in
charge, but they said there might be
a change of these officials fin the fu
ture, after congress had given permis
sion to run a line into the park,and that
such .new officials might authorize
the extension of the line in the park
over routes that would of course do
great injury. The comnission has
never opposed an electric line to the
park, but has opposed a proposition
to cross the La Fayette road. ”
LaFayette Road Work.
Gen. Boynton was interrogated as to
future work on the park and the La-
Fayette road. He gave the Times man
to understand that another appropriation
would be made at the present congress
for enough to complete the LaFayette
road. He said:
“The most important work under way
is on the LaFayette road, or rather on
the extension from Lee & Gordon’s mill
to LaFayette. I have just been inform
ed work commenced yesterday,
and I don’t think the fact has been print
ed in the Times as yet. The distance to
LaFayette is about thirteen and a half
miles. This road is to be constructed on
a 50 foot wide right of way and when
finished there will be a drive of that
width from Chattanooga to LaFayette, a
distance of twenty-six miles.”
Gen. Boynton further stated that an ap
propriation of SIB,OOO was made by the
past congress and that the money was
now available. The cost of construction
of the road will be about $26,000, or, in
other words, about SI,OOO a mile. As to
a further fund, Gen. Boynton said.
“We expect to get another appropri
ation at this congress for the next
year’s work. This SIB,OOO was-secured
by Senator Bacon of Georgia, and he
thinks he will have no trouble in se-

The holidays are coming, the bless

Could you give to a nobler cause than
to send your contribution to the mon

The still and silent form of the sex
ton lies on his beloved Myrtle Hill,
And his grave is unmarked. Could
Rome honor herself more than by
placing over the sleeping form a mar

by the people.”
