REUNION LOSS TO
MACDN 525D.D00
Thousands of Cots Never Used
by Veterans and Provisions
Are Dumped Into River.
MACON. GA.. May 13. —Careful es
timates place the financial loss sus
tained bv Macon people on the 1 reunion,
at not less than $250,000. The greater
part of this was invested In thousands
of cots which were never used.
There are numerous insfances where
the loss falls up, n those least able to
bear it. In one case an aged school
teacher mortgaged her home, spending
SBOO for cots, and failed to rent even
one. A Russian barber, who had saved
SSOO to bring his parents from the old
country, likewise bought cots, and did
not have a single roomer.
The trouble was that the people of
Macon were over enthusiastic about the
reunion. They confidently expected
and prepared for 150,000 visitors. Less
than 40,000 came. Os the 200 lunch
stands, only four made any profit, and
one is said to have lost SII,OOO.
In the last two days more than 50,-
000 buns, loaves of bread and sand
wiches have been dumped into the river.
Souvenir dealers were afso hard hit.

Dies at Hospital Here

ly shot at his home in Royston, Ga., ■
last Friday, died in a private sanita- I
Hum here today.
Pruitt, the son of J. M. Pruitt, a
prominent citizen of Royston, was i
helping his father clean a shotgun. The |
gun had not been used for some time
and was not supposed to be loaded. '
Rust caused one of the hammers to :
stick, so that when the elder Pruitt at- ;
tempted to force it back it slipped from ■
his grasp and exploded a shell. The j
full charge of shot struck young Pruitt j
in the legs and right thigh. He was
rushed to Atlanta for medical atten
tion, but the shock and loss of blood
caused his death today.
The body was removed to the under
taking parlors of Barclay & Brandon,
and will be taken to Royston tonight,
