ATLANTA IS CHEN
COOO DRENCHING
Atlanta's fans is washed and she is
sll ready for the legislature or what
ever company may happen to call. The
streets are cleaner today than they
have been in several weeks, and the
sanitary department didn't have to
work overtime, either. It was just
rain.
But such a rain! It began early yes
terday afternoon and for a while it
looked as though the sky'had turned
upside down Trolley cars were stop
ped by lightning, which burned out
circuits. and delayed by rivets of rain
water across the streets. Terraces and
lawns were washed away in several
sections of the city, and thousands of
dollars worth of new earthwork van
ished like a lump of sugar in a cup of
tea. Shoppers caught uptown hud
dled in doorways and waited impa
tiently for the cars to start, while some
unfortunates without umbrellas dashed
through the downpour.
The total rainfall of the afternoon
end night was about 2 inches, far from
being a record for the 24 hours. The
worst damage was found in DeKalb
a\ ’nu- . Iwtwei u Spruce stri ct and Del
la place. Inman Park Water ovet
flowed in several homes Oere and tesi.
"dents took to the upper floors or fled
to higher ground. An automobile,' tie
s' Tied in ttii street, was covered w ith
water higher titan its wheels
Williams street, near Pin*' was flood
ed two inches above the doorsteps, and
several women had to be helped from
their homes Several washouts, dan
gerous to |ia'- ers-b\, wore guarded all
night by the police.

“Boots” Rogers, Auto Chaser.
Is the Guy Who Puts Gloom
in Joy Rides.
If Boots" Rogers, county rfioWrcy
'ele officer, had continued in a straight
line fourteen months ago when he was
given a machine instead of chasing
automobiles in and about Atlanta, he
would have made nearly an exact cir
cuit of the globe by today. When he
looked at his speedometer this morn
ing it registered 25,005 miles.
"Boots'' Rogers is known probably to
every automobilist in Fulton county
whoever had an inclination to scorch.
His arrests have been many for he
rides over every road in the county.
The fact that he had ridden around
the v >rld. figuratively speaking, and
still remained in Fulton county never
occurred to “Boots" until this morn
ing. He then told all his friends about
itlknd received very many congratula
tions.
As a result of the activity of Rog
ers and his city brethren scorching has
been minimized fcreatly. A statistical
fiend recently said automobile acci
dents had decreased more than 3ft per
cent in the last few months.

tended purchasing it and also requested
some cartridges. He placed two tn the

cian.
Roberts has five brothers, one of whom
lives near this city.

BRUNSWICK, GA., June 25.—The visit

Eor the first time since the new edict had
been passed, the lid was on. and it was
on good and tight. The old patron who
had been accustomed to his cold bottle of
near-beer could not bring himself to be
lieve that any spot could be made so dry
and still remain so near "to the ocean.
But such was the ease.
A movement among the islanders is now
on to remove the "lid” and a committee
will shortly appear before the county com
missioners for this purpose.

MEXICO CITY. June 25,—Mote than
200 Zapatist rebels were captured and
banged by federal troops after a battle
near Huitzilac. ‘
Refugees arriving here from that
banbit-infested region say the fringe of
the forest lining the road for some dis
tance in the vicinity of Huitzilac was
marked with bodies hanging from limbs
of trees.
The rebel leader surrendered after the
battle. When the insurrectos had>been
disarmed they were led to the edge of
the forest and one after the other were
hanged to the nearest tree.
General Robles in his report said the
reason the rebels were hanged instead
of being shot to death was to "strike
terror into the hearts of other rebels
operating in that state."

O. Oa O. VE G ETABLE
It is a generally recognized truth that medicines made from vegetable
ingredients are a great deal better adapted to the delicate human system, and
safer in every way, than those composed of strong (mineral mixtures and
compounds. Mercury, potash, arsenic, etc., which are used in the manufac
ture of most blood medicines, are too violent in their action, and frequently
derange the system by disturbing the stomach and digestion, affecting
the bowels, and when used for a prolonged period often cause Rheumatism.
S. S. S. is the only blood medicine guaranteed absolutely and purely vegeta
ble. It is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, selected for their purify
ing and healing qualities. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and
Ulcers, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, and all other blood diseases,
because it cleanses and purifies the blood, and at the same time builds up
the entire system by its fine vegetable tonic effects. S. S. S. may be taken
by young and old with absolute safety, and with the assurance that
cure the diseases and disorders due to an impure and poisoned blood supply,
even reaching down and removing hereditary taints. Book on the blood and
