Prince Davis, Savannah, fireman.
The train was running late when the
accident occurred. Without warning,
the engine hit the open switch, bumped
along the tie* for a short distance and
then turned completely over, burying
the doomed engineer beneath It. Fire
man Davis Jumped and ao saved his
life. He suffered a broken arm. Free
man and Moore were only slightly
bruised. None of the cars left the
rails.
How the switch came to bo open has
not been determined. It Is reported the
lock was forced and the switch thrown
with malicious intent. Ah Investiga-:

"To make all women beautiful” aeema
to have been the motto of a auave
young atranger possessed of atyllah at-
tiro nnd an oily tongue, by whoae gamo
a number of Atlanta women are said
to have been bitten and for wbom po
lice are now searching.
The etranger backed up hla motto by
offering for eale—for the Insignificant
price of ten eenta per cake—a wohder-
ful discovery—a delightful preparation
for the removal of freckles, tan, blom-
tehee, wrinkles. Ingrowing dirt, and, In
ract. anything obnoxious that tends to
mar the beauty of woman. According
to the smooth-tongued young atranger,
-'this marvelous preparation la unex
celled and doubly valuable for the rea-
aon that It not only Improves the beau
ty nnd exhilarates the complexion of
women already beautiful, but add*
charm and actually brings beauty to
the faces of homely women."

he was a bum salesman. That ha

some certain women have appealed to

So much for the "ladles' preparation"

complainants, proved to be nothing

In order that 1,000 or more instead

the bank has had 752 applications for
loans In amount* aggregating 395,331.
The total numbed of loans closed Is
472, aggregating 357,633. The num

Only 18 of the entire 472 borrowers are

this being only one of. every 26. The
total amount delinquent 1* but 365, or
less than 34 per person delinquent.
Each borrower buy* one share of class
"C" stock for each 350 borrowed, this
stock being deposited with the bank as
partial security on tho loan, the stock
being paid tor in 50 weekly payments

4 1-2 months at a cost of 31,936.77. It
still has about 32.600 cash In hand. The
weekly payments of borrowers are be

Another was of a young woman who

Another sister borrowed 2100 in order
to give her brother treatment for the
morphine habit. This brother had fin

at Atlanta last spring, and aecured a
position'In a trunk factory. He began
using morphine, and before long the
drug had Its grip on him. He de

has been under treatment, and not once
has the sister failed to pay the weekly
