GH AMMGTHER IS
STORM HEROINE
Saves Sick Granddaughter’s
Life by Subduing Fire When
Lightning Wrecks Room.
Miss Elmira Gross, of 30p Capitol
avenue, owes her life today to her 77-
year-old grandmother’s quick action
when a terrific wind storm lifted the
roof from her home as she lay sick in
her room. A chimney crashed through
the opening and fell upon the bed which
a moment before had been occupied by
the sick woman and a flash of light
ning set the place afire.
The quick work of Mrs. V. A. Mc-
Daniel, Miss Gross' grandmother, who
is 77 years old, saved both Miss Gross
and Mrs. L. Gross, the mother, from
death. The elderly woman fought and
extinguished the flames just as they
were creeping upon the unconscious
form of the sick woman, who had been
prostrated by the sudden flash of light
ning.
Leaves Bed. Just Averting Death.
Miss Elmira Gross. Mrs. L. Gross, her
mother, and Mrs. V. A. McDaniel, her
grandmother, occupied the top floor of
the house. Miss Gross had been ill for
more than .a week, but yesterday she
recovered somewhat and decided to
make an attempt to sit up In a chair.
Aided by her mother and grandmother,
she was leaving the room slowly when
the crash came.
The roof was ripped—,tln. bricks,
wood, iron and all - and thrown into
the street. Chimneys fell Into the
opening, demolishing bed, dresser and
washstand. A second crash came and
the entire place burst Into flames.
Aged Woman Puts Out Fire.
When the first crash came Mrs.
Gross rushed downstairs for assistance,
and when she returned she found her
daughter unconscious on the floor and
Mrs. McDaniel fighting the advance of
the fire with pitchers of water and
rugs. The flames extinguished, the
prostrated woman was rushed to the
house of a neighbor. The physician
who came in answer to a summons de
clared that Miss Gross was in a high
state of nervous tension, but that no
serious results need necessarily come.
No one else was injured.
The Gross home is a virtual wreck
today. A number of other houses in
the vicinity also suffered considerable
damage from the storm.

Irish Stew Up Five Cents a Plate
WOE TOTHE $6 WEEK MAN
Despair filled the ranks of the lunch
cotlnter loiters today when it was
learned that the price of Irish stew
had risen from five to ten cents a
plate.
At several of the well known empo
riums on Alabama street and Broad
street this increase was announced—
not that beef was higher, but that po
tatoes were exceedingly hard to get.
This explanation is taken with several
grains of salt by the stew eaters. They
believe that it is another evidence of
w hat plutocracy can do when it learns
a weakness of the proletariat.
Just how many lives the five-cent
Irish stew has saved has never been
calculated, but it's a good bet that more
than one six-a-week “man would have

"To show that the preparation con

we will say that if four physicians of

SATAN A-GINNING
COTTON IT NIGHT
Representative Moore Proposes
Law to Stop After-Sundown
Work to Protect Creditors.
Representative J. Threat Moore, of
Butts, has discovered a significant and
sinister connection between the high
cost of living and the ginning of cotton
in Georgia after sundown.
Having satisfied himself that Satan |
has a hand in this post-daylight gin
ning business, Mr. Moore proposes to
introduce a bill in the legislature at its
forthcoming summer session providing
that it shall be a high crime and mis
demeanor to indulge in that pastime in
the Empire state of the South.
Various persons have accused Mr.
Moore of endeavoring in this proposed
legislation to take a side-swipe at the
colored brother, and to put cotton gins
in the same catalogue with hen roosts,
as proscribed excursion territory after
the shades of night have fallen. Mr.
Moore vigorously repels this sugges
tion, and says that Cuffy is no more
the object of Butts county’s legislative
wrath than any other person, regard
less of race, color or previous condi
tion of servitude. Mr. Moore affirms
that his proposed law in no wise con
flicts with either the fourteenth nr fif
teenth amendments to the Federal con
stitution.
Unfair to Creditors.
The gentleman from Butts will pro
pose his new law more in sorrow than
in anger. He feels that the high cost
of living puts great and abiding temp
tation in the way of some folks, and
that there are many planters—or, at'
least, some—who seize upon the oppor
tunity the darkness affords to gin their
cotton and make a swift ante-daybreak
get-away, in many instances leaving
their long-suffering creditors sucking
their thumbs and minus their right
eous dues.
Mr. Moore proposes, kindly but firm
ly. to remove that temptation, and it is
said that he will have the backing of
numerous land owners and merchants
in ills benign undertaking.
