m. . AUTO ACCIDENT
.
rhomaston, Oct. 27.—Mrs. Mi
i Whitman was killejl and four
sers were slightly injured in an
automobile accident a mile from
here on the Arecimus highway
yesterday morning.
Because the occupants of the
car could not give a coherent
story of what happened, nor the
i of the accident, county offi
i are continuing an investiga
of the wreck.
m men who were driving
g the highway reported to the
authorities that they saw Whit
man and another man standing
at the bottom of a hill looking
at a wrecked car. The passing
ear stopped and they investigated
finding Whitman’s wife lifeless.
The frame of the car rested upon
her neck and she strangled to
death.
Unable to Get Out
Will Woodson, driver, and Rosa
Smith, the other occupants of the
car, were unable to get out with
out assistance.
County oiftcers were notified
and they brought Mrs. Whitman
'
and also the injured persons to
this city.
■
The officers said that one of
party explained they had gone
out on the highway at that late
hour to bury a bulldog that died
Saturday.
The party had been drinking
and apparently had been on a
joy ride. The survivors don’t dis
the incident, they say.

JOHN BREWER IS
STAR ON ATLANTA
FIELD SATURDAY
John Brewer, G. H. «. football
star of the past three years, was
the shining light in the game at
Grant Field Saturday between the
Tech Freshmen and G. M. C.
Commenting on Brewer’s per
formance, the Atlanta Constitu
tion says:
“Brewer called the signals for
the yearlings, kicked off, 'threw
the passes and did the punting.
He also showed a variety in his
line of offensive attack when he
scored a touchdown, place-kicked
a field goal and kicked four out
of five goals after touchdown.
In addition to this he returned a
kick-off 85 yards through the op
posing team for a touchdown, but
■
the play was called back and Tech
penalized for holding. One of his
teammates was careless and got
offsides when he scored another
touchdown and was called back.
On the whole, he put up about the
best game on the field. M

Captive Orang-Utan
Showed Intelligence
An orang-utun named Dohong.
which whs brought to the New York
*oo from Borneo some years ago,
astonished os by his Intelligence, W.
Held Blair writes In the American
Magazine. A gas pipe four feet long
and two Inches in diameter was
wired to the bars at the front of his
cage. The pipe itself could not be
tilted or moved. Inside this pipe—
In the very middle—a piece of ba
nana was placed. Dohong, who was
very fond of bananas, tried to get It.
First Ive attempted to get it with
hig hands, then ids feet, and failed.
He tried to loosen the pipe, but he
couldn’t do that. He was very much
disturbed over his inability to get
at that banana, and sat down to
think it over. But no happy solu
tion came to him—for the simple
reason that, under the circum
stances, there wasn't any. knowl
Finally, without Dohong's
edge, a stick nvo feet long with a
hook in the end of It was concealed
In the straw of his cage. Then Do
hong was put back in the cage and
ive waited. In the Course of If i
minutes Dohong accidentally came
across the hooked stick. It didn’t
mean anythin,-; to him on the in
stant, hut presently he was struck
by a bright Idea. He inserted the
hooked end of the stick Into the
pipe, and. lo! out came the banana
on the hook! After that, when a
banana was put inside the pipe, Do
hong wasted no time trying to reach
it with his hands, but began looking
at once for the hooked stick.
This seemed to me to indicate a
high order of intelligence.
