NEGRO FALLS FROM RAILROAD
BRIDGE
Whethed P. P. Austin, colored, fell
or jumped from the railroad bridge
just east of Almon, neither he nor any¬
one else seems to know.
The bridge from which he fell is some
Tortv or fifty feet high, and when the
negro was found Wednesday by line¬
men he said that he did not know wheth¬
er a train had hit him or not, but he
knew that the accident had happened
Saturday night. He was so badly injured
that he could not move. He was brought
to Covington and given medical atten¬
tion. His arm was broken and he was
otherwise very severely bruised, and
how he- managed to keep alive from Sat¬
urday night until Wednesday, four days
and three nights, is hard to understand.
as he was suffering for food and water,
as well as from his injuries.
He was taken to an Atlanta hospital.

FORD RICHEST MAN IN
W ALL STREET JOURNAL SAYS
New York, Sept. 20,—Henry Ford
the richest man in the world,
to an article recently published by the
Wall Street Journal.
"Henry Ford has in the Ford Motor
Company the largest income and, if cap¬
italized, the largest fortune in the world
today," said the newspaper.
"Profits before taxes for 1922 will
exceed $125,000,000; after taxes they
will be $110,000,000, or about $100 per
car. With these earnings the Ford Motor
Company could be capitalized at $2,000,
000,000 and pay five per cent interest
on that capital.
“Ford condemns bankers, but with
$180,000,000 in cash he is the largest in¬
dividual banker in this country, if not
in the world.
"His income, adding to his boundless
wealth $500,000 a day through the busy
season, is probably unequalled in all
history.
"If he continues to pile up cash at
this rate he cannot long denounce Wall
street or the money power of the coun¬
try, for he himself will be that money
power.”
