HIS LITTLE BALL OF \ARN
SMASHED BIG MOTOR CAR
Had not O. f’. Crocker slowed down
(ii< big touring car while out driving
on Gordon street Just when he did. It
lx probable that not only his automo
bile. but himself, would now be In the
hospital.
As it was. both Mr. and Mrs. Crocker
tKsped without Injury, hut his ma
chine was almost a wreck when an
other car from town went out to tow
it in.
And ail the damage was caused by a
mall bad boy nnd a ball of yarn.
Air. and Mrs. Crocker were speeding
il'»ng Gordon street and when the oar
tracks were reached near Eudle ave
nue, the machine was slowed down in
I crossing them. Just about the same
instant a small boy playing with a
baseball made of wrapped yarn threw
the hall under the machine.
It probably couldn’t be done again
one in ten thousand times, but the ball
caught in a sprocket and in an instant
it had stopped the mechanism, smashed
the chain and axle and made the ma
chine a general wreck. With the
wrecking of the car came a loud noise,
ns of an explosion that not only star
tled the occupants of the car, but the
people In the neighborhood.
Mr. Crocker has learned the identity
of the boy and will take some steps
against him. The people In the neigh
borhood of the wreck claim this and
other boys make their lives a burden. I

There was consternation In nearby
offices.
Lawyers heard the sound nnd were
shocked. Ah soon as the boom of the
big bell had gone forth on the spring
breezes there was a rush of lawyers for
the court house. There were visions of
being fined for contempt of court—for
not being there on time.
The old clock In the court house tow
er had gone on a strike.
Why, nobody knew. But It did. The
huge hands pointed to 9:30 o’clock, but
it was a ten-strike the lawyers In their
offices heard. They rushed for the court
house. Then they found the old clock
had been a few days too early In get
ting off an April fool Joke. Hard things
vere said.
There was no doubt about it. The
old clock had struck ten, but It was
only half-past nine. As is always the
case, dozens of people (lashed their
watches when the clock began striking.
The watches read 9:30, but the old
clock said 10 by the sound.
‘'Zounds!'' exclaimed John Mana-
ghan, Solicitor Hill’s assistant, as he
hurried to receive the many visitors
who had business to prepare for the
grand Jury. They were due at 10 o’block
and ne hadn't started to prepare for
them.
Janitor Marhut was notified, but be
couldn’t explain the singular conduct of
the well-behaved clock. He admitted
though, that the pesky old thing once
upon u time struck thirty. John Mon
aghan declared It had only been 23.
W. J. Bryan, the official clock wind
er, was hastily summoned, but he said
he had wound the clock on Monday, as
was his custom. That lasted for the
week. At 10 o’clock the old timepiece
struck one and nt 10:30 the bell sound
ed ten times again.
Finally the tower was visited nnd n
wist given to one of the set screws
ontroiling (lie striking device. Then
at 11 o’clock the hell caught step with
the time and everything was serene.
(Milef Turner said he didn’t blume the
d clock for going on a strike. For
he pointed out that the court house was
commenced In 1879, turned over to the
ounty commissioners In 1881, and that
the old clock had been grinding out
time ever since. Bald It was time to
take a rest nnd go on a strike.

QUITE WAS DUE TO
BARS BEING CLOSED
Special to The Georgian.
Balnbridge, Ga.. March 26.—Not an
arrest waa made In Ralnhrldge during
Saturday and Saturday night. This Is
the firm time In yearn, anti probably n
the hlatory of the town, that tile city
barracks have not been occupied on
Saturday and Saturday night, with
‘drunks and disorderlies.” There was
nothing doing at police court Monday
morning.
This unusual quietness Is attributed
to the closing of the saloons on Iasi
Wednesday until after the prohibition
election on the 26th. The saloon-keep-
ers had a meeting and It mbs agreed
that they would rinse their saloons for
a week. Juat to give the prohibitionist )
chance to see what the town Mould
be in the event that the county Is voted
dry. Inquiries were made among the
merchants and business men of the
city Saturday night and Sunday as to
the effect the closing of the saloons had
had on their business. A majority of
them stated that their sales showed an
Increase, especially the cash sales, over
previous Saturdays. Some saw no
change.
