PECULIAR COLLISION
'On the Sonthern Road at Atlanta
Causes Death of Three.
WILD SWITCH ENGINE’S WORK
In Addition to the Killed, Many People
Were Badly Injured—Yard Con
ductor Arrested and Held
on Suspicion.
While the combination passenger
train, composed of cars from Macon
and Fort Valley, was running into At
lanta Tuesday morning over the South
ern road, another engine dashed into
it from the side track leading from
the old East Tennessee shops to the
main line.
Three killed outright and many in
jured—some seriously, others but
slightly —is the result of the accident.
The first class coach of the passen
ger train, was overturned and com
pletely wrecked. The handsome Pull
man sleeper, next to it, had one end
crushed in. while the car ahead of the
first class coach was also damaged.
Those killed in the wreck were Mrs.
A. A. Lemon, of McDonough, her lit
tle daughter, Irma, and H. H. Vickers,
of Flovilla.
Those injured were: A. F. Bunn,
McDonough, Ga.; J. A. Fouche, Mc-
Donough, Ga.; Mrs. Julia Kersey, At
lanta, Ga.; N. H. Vickers, Flovilla,
Ga.; W. T. Tidwell, McDonough, Ga.;
D. A. George, Knot, Ga.; William Rich
ardson, Stockbridge, Ga.; Miss Rosa
Lee, Stockbridge, Ga.; Miss Alma Mas
senger, Washington, D. C.; Mrs. J. E.
Ridley, Huntsville, Ala.; E. G. Eggles
ton, Atlanta; G. V. Harvey, Atlanta.
Mrs. Lemon was the wife of Alexan
der A. Lemon, a prominent business
man of McDonough. Mr. Lemon is in
terested in the McDonough Mercantile
Company, is the owner of the Brown
house at that place and has a large
farm near McDonough. His daughter,
who was killed, was about eight years
old.
Mrs. Lemon also had one of her chil
dren, a baby less than a year old, in
her arms at the time the colision took
place. The baby was not injured.
Her two other children, a boy and a
girl, were also on the train with her,
but they escaped injury.
Mr. Vickers was a prosperous young
farmer of Flovilla. He was on his way
to Atlanta to have his eyes examined
by a specialist, and was accompanied
by his brother, N. H. Vickers, who es
caped with a few injuries. Mr. Vick
ers was the son of Jacob Vickers, of
Flovilla, and had been marrieu about
two years. He leaves a wile and a
child.
Mystery Envelopes Accident.
Mystery seems to cloud the direct
cause of the accident. G. B. Dunton,
a yard conductor for the road, was ar
rested, pending investigation by the
police authorities. Employees of the
road say he was upon the engine, and
C. O. Wallace, a switchman, is ex
pected to give damaging testimony
against Dunton in the recorder’s court.
Dunton declares he was not on the
engine when it ran into the passen
ger train, and does not know who was.
He says he did board the engine and
rang the* bell to get hostlers to get
the engine off the switch that he
might move his own engine onto the
main line to return to the North ave-
nue yard.
He says that after ringing the bell
he stepped off the engine, walked
down the tracks and was looking at
the passenger train when the collision
took place. He was wounded over the
left eye, while his face was badly
burned and scalded.
Wallace, the switchman, declined
to make any statement for publica
tion. He stated that what he had to
say would be brought out during the
hearing of the case against Dunton of
“disorderly conduct,” which was book
ed against him at the police barracks
Tuesday afternoon by the arresting
officers.

THE BACTERIA WE EAT.
Million, in a Pat of Butter and a Score
of Millions in Milk.
Why is blitter salted? Mrs. C. C.
Frankland gives a scientific answer in
Longman’s Magazine as follows: “We
must first realize that the bacterial pop
ulation of a modern-sized pat of butter
may be reckoned by millions; that a tiny
lump only large enough to go into a
thimble has been known to be tenanted
by nearly 48,000.000; that, in fact, in
consuming a slice of bread and butter
you may unsuspiciously be assimilating
individual lives exceeding in number
those of the whole of Europe!
I hus the urgency for keeping these
hordes in check, and hence the efforts
which are made first to set up effectual
barriers to their ingress by taking proper
precautions in the production of milk,
and, secondly, in the conduct of the
processes involved in the manufacture
and distribution of the finished article.
Included in these processes is the addi
tion of salt in such quantities as to justi
fy the butter being known as salt but
er, this addition being made with the ob
ject of extending the keeping powers of
the butter, or in other words, to suppress
to a large extent the activities ot the
butter bacteria. That salt does a<A in
this manner is shown by the fact that in
butter thus treated a very large reduc
tion in the number of micro-organisms
present is effected. There can be little
doubt, therefore, that the common but
ter microbes do not by any means regard
salt as their elixir of life!’’
The writer also refers to the investi
gations of a Russian savant, M. Zakher
bekoff, who carried out an elaborate in
quiry into the bacterial quality of the
milk supplied to St. Petersburg. The
figures lie obtained are appalling. Milk
described and supplied as the purest pro'
curable was found to contain a minimum
of over 10.000.000 and a maximum of no
less than 83,000,000 of bacterial in from
20 to 25 drops, while in other samples
a minimum of 2,400,000 and a maximum
of 114,500,000 were found. How un
necessary such bacterial pollution of milk
is may be gathered from the fact that
milk under normal healthy conditions
contains no bacteria whatever as it issues
from the cow; that if due precautions
of cleanliness, etc., are observed milk
may be obtained absolutely sterile, or,
in other words, entirely devoid of bac
terial life. Such milk has frequently
been procured from cows in cases where
it has been required in its natural state,
free from bacteria, for experimental
purposes.
Up-to-Date Illustrating.
“If,” says a floating paragraph, “there
is a battle in Europe, Asia or Africa a

it will appear in American papers the

papers which give us pictures of battles
on the other side of the world the same
day they are fought, and sometimes
when they are not fought at all.—Louis

THE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTERSYILLE, GA
Poor Hetty Green
There is a shoemaker who lived at
one time in Far Rockaway, who has a
stock story to tell of the melancholy
time when he cheated himself. There
lived in his neighborhood a poor woman
who had rented one of the summer cot
tages which she was able to hire at 3
low sum for the winter because no one
else would take it. She lived in only a
few rooms of the house, the kitchen
and a little room out of it. a dining room,
where she had a small smoky stove
which had gradually darkened the walls
to a cloudy gray. Everything about the
house was of the simpdest, even of the
poorest, and the kind-hearted shoe
maker felt sorry for the poor woman
who lived in this uncomfortable fashion.
She brought him a shoe to mend one
day. He did the work in his best fash
ion, and when she came for it refused
the money.
"It is nothing, madam,” he said, cheer
fully. “I was glad to do it.” The wo
man thanked him and left.
“Why did’nt you charge her?” asked
an astonished witness of the scene.
"She is such a poor woman I didn’t
like to,” answered the shoemaker, apolo
getically.
"Poor!” cried the spectator. “She is
the richest woman in this country. That
was Hetty Green.” —New York Times.

was continued, and wanted the other
twenty-nine volumes. —Ohio State Jour

Sad Breath
Undigested, decaying food remnants, in the mouth and stomach, giving off pestiferous gases, are the cause
of that awful breath, so repulsive as to cause a halt in friendship, affection, love, —any form of intimacy.
Nobody can stand its overpowering stench, and it is a cause of terrible misery to those afflicted and their dear
ones. There is only one way to cure it—disinfect the digestive canal with CASCARETS! Clean it out, keep it
clean, let CASCARETS stimulate the lining of mouth and stomach, and put it in shape to work naturally and
properly. Nothing but CASCARETS will bring about the desired result. BE SURE YOU GET THEM!
