Building, Albany, Ga.
J. D. Hammock, a railroad employe,
was struck In the face with a heavy
pick this morning by Foreman Wat
son, In charge of the work of demol
ishing the two Rumrfey buildings on
Pine street, where 'a new business
structure is to be erected.
The flat side of the pick landed on
Hammock’s nose and right cheek,
knocking him down and making a bad
wound from which a great deal of
blood flowed, and which completely
closed the eye. The Injury was
dressed by a physician.
Watson stated that Hammock Inter
fered with the latter’s laborers, anrl
was Insolent when requested to leave
the scehe. One of the negroes after
ward stated that Hammock was offer
ing him employment.
Hammock stated to a Herald man
that he had not refused to leave, and
gave no provocation for the attack.
He said he was talking to a negro
employed on the building on a mat
ter of business.

Horse Slid Forty Feet.
While Mr. Ira Cook’s spirited nag
was standing on Washington street in
front of the Davis-Exchange Bank
Bu’lding yesterday afternoon, a bright
flash of lightning and loud peal of
thunder caused the animal to dash
off at top speed, In spite of the efforts
of the negro driver to hold him.
At the corner of Washington and
Pine, the horse slipped, and for a dis
tance of forty feet slid on the surface
of the pavement. The negro managed
to hold the animal’s head up, or its
neck would probably have been bro
ken. The buggy was not damaged,
and the only injury to the horse con
sisted in the scraping off of several
patches of hide.
Albany Company Among Leaders.
An interesting statement has just
been issued by the Coca-Cola Co., of
Atlanta, showing the volume of sales
of Coca-Cola bottling companies dur
ing the year 1905 and up to May 1.
1906.
In both of these lists the Albany
Coca-Cola Bottling Co. ranks twelfth.
Just what this means can be best, ap
preciated when it is stated that the
names of nearly 300 companies are
given. The Albany company con
sumed 7,161 gallons of Coca-Cola syrup
in 1905, and 2.53S gallons in 1906 to
May f. The gain for these first four
months of the year over' the corre
sponding period of 1905 is 97 per cent.
This statement is interesting, and
principally important because it clear
ly illustrates Albany’s importance as q

Atlanta, Ga., June 7.—Miss Pearl A.
Dernell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G.
P. Dernell, of 126 Grant street, is go
ing all the way to the Philippine
Islands to wed the man of her choice.
The bridegroom-that-is-to-be is Lieut.
Schroeder, who was formerly sta
tioned at Fort McPherson, near At
lanta, with the Sixteenth regiment
Tho young woman la now on her way
to nhe American possessions in the
Paclflc. A month will elapse before
she sees the man who is to be her hus
band. She Is being escorted to the
Orient by Capt. Thomas Moody, of the
Department of the Gulf, who is going
to the Philippines as paymaster for a
term of two years. Miss Dernell has
been stenographer in the law office of
Westmoreland Bros. She met the
good-looking lieutenant while he was
stationed near Atlanta and an ardent
wooing on his part was the result.
When he was ordered to the Philip
pines his sweetheart was not to be
comforted and when he urged her to
come to him that they might be man
and wife never to be separated, she
yielded and began preparations for her
long Journey.
JUMPED CONTRACT
AND STOLE BICYCLE.
Negro Youth Arrested for One Crime
and Stumbles Into Another.
This morning Sam Arnold, a negro
boy about 18 years old. was sent to
the county jail on the charge of lar
ceny. He will also have to face Che
charge of contract breaking.
Arnold had been hired by Mr. Char
ley Lockett, of Lee county. He ran
away, on a bicycle, and was pursued
by Mr. Lockett on horseback. Quite
a chase resulted* two horses being
necessary to catch him before he was
tired down.
On the way back to Albany the
negro broke Ike chain of the wheel,
and Mr. Lockett sent him to B. F.
Smith’s to have it repaired. The wheel
was recognized by Mr. Smith as one
stolen from him last Saturday, and
Officer Raley promptly locked the
negro up in the city guardhouse. He
was later removed to the jail. He is
a simple sort of negro, and the case
will not go as hard with him as it
doubtless would with any other case
of larceny.
A Des Moines, Iowa, dispatch says:
Changing first pink, then a dark gin
ger color, then an alabaster white, lit
tle Eli Rami, the 14-months-old babe
of Count and Countess Nathoo, is
causing the greatest excitement, as
told in the -World a few days ago.
Now President Roosevelt has been in
formed of the varied existence of little
Eli.
The little fellow is the son of Count
Nathoo, a Hindu, and an American
girl who is a graduate of the Univer
sity of Wisconsin. 4
In many ways he is just like other
babies. He has a lusty pair of lungs,
eats heartily, and is bright. When lit
tle Eli Rami awakes in the morning
his skin is the color of rose leaves. At
noon a dark color begins to creep over
his face, and soon he is the color of
his princely ancestors. At night he
looks like a little marble image.
The little fellow has been the sub
ject of much discussion among the
medical and scientific men of the city.
It is the general opinion that the mix
ture of bloods causes the strange phe
nomenon. Whether the child will
grow up a tall, white American or be
a little dark Hindu with silky black
hair and sharp eyes like his father is
a question.
Count Nathoo has opened up a tem
ple of psychology here and has quite a
following. He is. also a clever trick
artist.
Count and Countess Nathoo were
married in Quincy, Ill., several years
ago. The girl’s home was in Madison,
Wis.
Their marriage caused something of
a furore as not only did the girl defy
convention in marrying him, but the
dark-skinned count broke some of the
prime laws of India by marrying an
American girl.
Going to the North — Georgia Loses
Large Number-Party of One Hun
dred Recently Left Augusta.
The Dawson News says:
While few negroes are apparently
missed from Dawson there seems to
be a general exodus of the blacks
from Georgia. Reports from various
sections of the state indicate that they
are migrating north and east in large
numbers.
Tuesday over 100 negro cooks, wait
ers and house servants left Augusta
for New York, most of them having
taken passage over the Southern and
Atlantic Coast Line at a rate which it
is understood was exceedingly low.
This fact indicates that the people of
the east and north are offering special
inducements in order to secure ser
vants from the south. Similar reports
of the exodus of the blacks from Geor
gia towns are constantly coming in,
notwithstanding the fact that there is
already a deficiency in the supply of
laborers to meet the demands in this
section.
While, as stated above, few if any
have been missed from Dawson, it is
known that a number have left the
city, presumably to join parties who
are going where they expect to secure
labor at a better wage scale.
It is hot known whether there is an
organized effort to secure these labor
ers from the South or not, but from
the present Indications it Is presumed
that great efforts, whether organized
or otherwise, are being made with
practically good results.
