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 distributing point A BABY THAT CHANGES COLOR.

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.
