Reports from railroads and telephone

show last night's rain deluge was by

of Georgia.
Washouts on the lines of the South

mails from all directions, particularly
from the North, and the mails from
New York, Washington, Baltimore and
intermediate towns were so badly tied
up that they bad not reached the At

postoffice It was said that the New
York mail is not expected to arrive to
day.
In this city the torrents of rain so
cluttered the tracks with wild and
water that seven loaded trolley cars
were off the track at one time and the
schedules on several lines virtually
were suspended from 8:30 until 11 p. m.
At the company's offices it was said
today that none of the was over

Pullet But 4 Months
; Old Lays Egg ’Every

Balks On Sunday Performance
at First, But Soon Overcomes
Scruples.
Judge John 8. Candler has a chicken
out at his home in Druid Hills that is
so much the most wonderful chicken in
existence that it has already taken its
place alongside the goose that laid the
golden egg and the other classic poul
try of the ages.
Judge Candler’s chicken was born in
the usual unostentatious manner on
January 30 last and didn’t seem to be
any particular chicken until May 30.
just four months later, when it sudden
ly '-ante to bat with a perfect egg. That
astounded Judge Candler, for most
chickens don't begin to lay under six
months from birth at the best.
But the judge was astounded a sec
ond time when the pullet began piling
up hen records by doing an egg every
da y.
When the first Sunday came around
(he jurist noticed that his prize chicken
seemed to be laboring under tremen
dous mental stress. She'd pace nerv
ously about the hen house, hopping up
on the nest at Intervals, then off again
to the nerve-racking tramp, just as if
she couldn't square the act with her
conscience. That, first Sunday the pul
let didn't lav an egg, but there was a
w hopper in her nest next morning, and
she continued laying daily until the
next Sunday. when, after another
heart-breaking tussle witn her scruples,
she put her conscience ruthlessly aside,
laid the Sabbath egg and has been
keeping up the unprecedented perform
ance ever since.
