OCCUPANTS JUMP
FROM AUTO
(lames Shroud Machine Going at High
Speed, and as It Was Impossible to
Stop the Machine the Occupants
Leaped.
Grantviile, Ga., June 29.
Grantville was the scene ot
promised to be a terrible tragedy
yesterday. An automobile * u
which Mrs. E. Leigh, wiie
Representative Leigh, of this
county, was riding with her three
sons, Stewart, Thomas and James
Colley, burst into flames while
running rapidly. Stewart, the
oldest hov, aged 14 years, was
driving the machine, and being
unable to stop it, those in the
automobile were forced to jump.
Mrs. Leigh, in endeavoring to
protect her youngest child, 4
years of age, was badly injured,
falling as she leaped from the
machine. It is not known as yet
whether her injuries are serious.
Mrs. Leigh’s eldest son,Stewart
has just returned from college,
and his mother had the day be
fore presented him with a
(J id'.l lac machine. It is not
known how the automobile ig
nited. It seemed to burst into
flames, and the tire soon euvel
oped it. The machine was totally
destroyed by the flames.
Practically the whole of
ville was present when the auto
mobile caught lire, as this was
the first machine to be brought
to the town and the
were very proud ot it. The wild
est excitement existed while the
automobile was running aflame
through the streets of the town.
Every effort was made by young
Gdley to 8top the machine, until
at last the party were forced to
jumped to save themselves from
being burned.
Mr. Leigh is being congratu¬
lated today that his family were
not injured any worse than they
were.
Poor Little Chap.
Of the late Miss Johnstone
Bennett, in whose death the
American stage lost a comedi¬
enne of exquisite talent, an actor
said :
“Miss Johnston Bennett’s suc¬
cess came easy to her. She
could nave succeeded as a writer
had she wished. She never went
out but she returned with a host
of striking episodes she had ob¬
served.
“One day in the early summer
she said to me. as she lunched on
some delicious fruit:
t I was slumming yesterday.
As I passed a fruit stand piled
with black bananas, soft straw¬
berries, green watermelons and
the like, a little ragged chap of
6 or 7 stopped before it, and I
heard him say to the dealer, as
he pointed towards the straw
berries:

SMALL ACREAGE

Or. Miller Gets 517 Bushels of
Wheat From 27 Acres.
Gainesville, Ga., June 28.—
Dr. J. E. Miller, who lives near
Gainesville, threshed his wheat
yesterday and on 27 acres he har¬
vested 517 bushels. Before he cut
his wheat it was nearly head high
an ,j pi, e average yield was nearly
twe nty bushels to the acre. Of
the whole amount 77 bushels
w - ere harvested off fiacres, which
had tile drained. Only 2 1-2

A Railroad Comparison.
The Railway Age makes an in
teresting comparison of the rec¬
ords of American and English
railways in 1905, says the Balti¬
more Sun. The United Kingdom
has 22,848 miles of railroad,
against our 212,348 miles. The
total of stock and bonds per mile
for the British roads is $272,98-3,
against our $60,780, the differ¬
ence being due to the higher cost
of land, avoidance of grade cross¬
ings and larger proportion of
double track in England. The
total British capitalization is
$0,221,000,000, against our $14,
095,000,000. The British roads
have $4,547,000,000 of capital
stock and but $1,074,250,000 of
interest-bearing debt, whereas
our roads have $0,447,000,000 of
stock and $7,475,000,000 of bond¬
ed debt. The British percentage
of expenses to earnings is 01.7,
to our 67.0. From passenger
traffic the British roads get near¬
ly as large revenues as from
freight traffic, while our roads
get only one-third as much from
passenger traffic af from freight
traffic.
THE MURRAY NEWS, FRIDAY, JULY 0,
Frederick aud Theodore.
The House of Representatives
has been intensely interested in
an extract from Macaulay’s essay
on Frederick the Great, which
somebody dug up a few days ago
and circulated in typewritten
form. The heading on the ex¬
tract is: “Who Is the American
Prototype?” and nobody has had
to take more than one guess.
This is the extract:
“Most of the vices of Freder¬
ick’s administration resolve
themselves into one vice, the
spirit of meddlings. The inde
fatigable activity of his intellect,
his dictatorial temper, his mili¬
tary habits, all inclined him to
this great fault. He interfered
with the course of justice as well
as with the cours e of trade, and
set up his own crude notions of
equity against the law as ex¬
pounded by the unanimous voice
the gravest magistrates. It never
occurred to him that men whose
lives were passed in adjudicating
on questions of civil rights were
more likely to form correct opin¬
ions on such questions than a
prince whose attention was di
vided among a thousand objects
and who had never read a law
book through.
“The resistance opposed to him
by the tribunal inflamed him to
fury, he reviled his chancellor,he
kicked the shins of his judges.
He did not, it is true, intend to
act unjustly. He firmly believed
lie was doing right and defending
the cause of the poor against the
wealthy, Yet his well-meant
meddling probably did more
harm than all the explosions of
his evil passions during the whole
of his long reign. We could
make shift to live under a de¬
bauchee or a tyrant, but to be
ruled by a busybody is more than
human nature can bear.”—New
York World, Washington corres¬

Dewey’s Dog Ate Evans' Trourers.
Admiral Dewey has an English
bulldog of which he is very fond.
The other day he drove up to the
Navy Department and as the
omnipresent dog made his ap¬
pearance one of the officers on
duty was moved to toll a story of
how the dog came very near be¬
ing the cause of a serious clash
between Admiral Dewev and
“Fighting Bob” Evans.
Dewey was in command of the
Pacific squadron. The admiral
started on a tour of inspection of
the vessels, and took In’s bulldog
with him, as usual. On Evans’
ship he lost sight of the dog for
several minutes, when lie was
surprised to see the dog coming
up the companionway as if pro¬
pelled from a catapult.
Almost apoplectic with anger
Dewey rushed over to see who
had kicked his pet. and saw (Japt.
Evans at, the foot of the steps.
“Sir,” roared the admiral,
“what do you mean by kicking
my dog?”
“Sir,” roared Evans in return,
“I’d have kicked that dog if he
had been the personal property
of the Supreme bench. He
chewed the legs off two pairs of
$15 trousers and destroyed an
edition de luxe of the naval reg¬
ulations.”—New York American.

Dark-Room Rabiss Cured.
From tlio Philadelphia Record.
Jacksotuvahl, I'a., June 24.—
Isaac Albright, aged 02, hostler
of the Jacksomvald Hotel, who
was bitten bv a mad setter dog
several weeks ago, is undergoing
treatment for rabies at the Leidy
homestead, New Hanover, Mont¬
gomery county.
Washington Leidy gives the
treatment, which is by a secret
method, revealed to him by his
wife upon her death several
years ago.
The cure consists of some use
of medicines and confinement in
a dark room for three weeks. For
the first three days no food is
given, then a soda cricker is al¬
lowed every three hours. No
water is given for the first three
weeks, the only liquids allowed
being coffee or tea.
Albright is reported as doing
well, and Mr. Leidy feels assured
that he can cure him. This is
the two hundred and seventh
case the Leidy folks have treat¬
ed. and they never have had a
failure.
Only one person in the Leidy
family is able to cure bv this
treatment. Mrs. Rev. Brong, a
daughter, who resides at Han
nersville, Monroe county, ana
who has made a record for hei
self by her cures.

“Way back in the early 70’s,
just after I had started in the
business,” said Tom A. Pinson,
according to the Commercial
Telegraphers’ Journal, “I was
working for a railroad in a ( little
town in Arkansas.
“One day a typical Arkansas
country youth of about 20 years
blew into the office. He was
tall and lanky, dressed in home
spun jeans and was barefooted,
lie told he had never been in
town before, and the great in¬
terest he displayed in everything
he saw hacked up his statement.
A v After watching me pound the
key a while he asked me vvliat I
was doing. 1 tried to explain to
him, and told him that I could
send anything to any part of the
country over the wire.
“ ‘Do you mean to say that
you can send things over that
wire?’ he asked.
“I assured him that f could.
“He went outside and aftei
looking long and carefully at the
wires strung alongjrhe poles he
came back and said". “That win
might do to send letters am
small packages,!"J>uf you could
never make me believe it is big
enough to send a hale of cotton.’
