Struck by a Southern Railway train
when their automobile went dead on
the tracks *of a crossing a mile north
of McDonowgh, Oa„ late Tuesday
afternoon, Mrs. Emma Heard, wife of
J. P. Heard,rof Vienna, Gsl, and her
ten-year-old a son, Rio Lindon Heard,
were killed.
Mr. Heard leaprd from the car when
he saw It wouki be impossible to es
cape the crash, and escaped with a
few bruises. Mlrs. Heard and her son
were caught In «the cowcatcher of the
locomotive and dragged 50 feet.
The bodies of Mrs. Heard and her
son -were taken to Vienna. The fu
neral will be held there Wednesday
afternoon. They were well known in
Atlanta, and many friends of the
family here will attend the funeral.
Mrs. Heard was Miss Emma Lash-
ley. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. P.
Ia&shley, and wits a leader in the so
cial life of her ‘community. She is
survived by hert husband, who is a
son of the late Senator Heard find
president of the Heard Banking
Company, and her parents.
Mr. Heard Tells of Accident.
Statements nuuie Wednesday morn
ing by Mr. Heard and J. L. Mable,
engineer of th*e train, indicate that
the accident ww unavoidable and was
the result of the failure of the emer
gency brake of the automobile.
“My wife, my son Lindon and my
self left our home in Vienna. In my
two-passenger roadster." said Mr.
Heard, “to attend the motorcycle
races in Atlanta. We passed through
McDonough about 2 o'clock. Ten
minutes later we pa.nsed over the
brow of a long steep hill that leads
down to the railroad tracks. A train
can not be seen until the crossing is
almost reached. We were only a few
yards from the track when Mrs.
Heard saw the train coming and
shouted.
“We were going about 25 miles an
hour. I at once shut off my engine
and applied the brake, but it failed to
work. Seeing that a collision was un
avoidable, I leaped from the car and
shouted for Mrs. Heard and my son
to do likewiFe. They were probably
too frightened to do so. The next
thing I remember was hearing their
screams as the train struck them."
Engineer Gives Hi* Version.
Engineer Mable declared that when
Up saw the automobile he applied air-
nrakes, but the crossing was too near
for the air to take effect before the
automobile was struck.
“I was running about 25 miles an
hour and the crossing was about a
hundred yards ahead of me u|lien I
saw the automobile. The car was
running as fast as my train, and had
plenty of time to* cross the tYacks in
front of me.
“When the machine got to within
about ten yards of the track, it slowed
down and rolled up until the front
wheels of the car were on the tracks.
Then it stopped. I at once applied
the airbrakes, but too late to have
any appreciable effect on the speed
of the train."
How and Why to
Eat Watermelon
Fool, but do not chill Mr. Meion.
Cut it lengthwise, not in round
slices.
Have the seeds, make "water
melon tea."
Use your teeth—not knives or
forks.
Watermelon is refreshing and
good for the stomach and kidneys

Georgia Congressman Right Up
in Race for "Champeen" Title
in Capitol Cafes.
WASHINGTON. Aug fl —fltate se
crets on statesmen’s appetite*, and
particularly watermelons during the
present height of the watermelon sea
son, were divulged to-day. The dl-
vulger is R. J. Martyn, "boss" of the
Capitol Cafes.
Twenty big, fat watermelons are
consumed by Congressmen every day,
according to “Chef" Martyn. Repre
sentative Henry D. Clayton, of Ala
bama, chairman of the House Judi
ciary Committee, Is the acknowledged
“chamr»een" watermelon eater. He
gets outside of from one to three big
slices daily.
Other watermelon "fanatics” who
appear to be crowding Clayton for
the title are Representative Mann, of
Illinois; Sereno Payne, of New York;
Sims, of Tennessee; Dletrlck, of Mas*
saehusettu, Austin, of Tennessee;
Stedman. of North Carolina, and How
ard, of Georgia
Approached on his watermelon
prowess, Clayton gave the following
panegyric:
"Watermelon beats Ice cream or
lemonade all hollow us a cool refresh
ment. It is the most luscious, re
freshing fruit possible to be secured
in summer.
“Home people eat salt on watermel
on. x That Is a mistake. Halt mili
tates against Its palatability and di
gestibility. I take mine straight.
“Watermelon is a splendid diuretic.
It cleanses the whole digestive system.
“Watermelon seed tea Is an old
Southern remedy for kidney trouble.
"I don’t care for thick-rind etrlped
melons. I don’t like the hybrids be
tween the* Georgie ‘rattlesnake’ melon
and the ‘scaly bark.’ Some of these
are a cross between a guinea melon
and a horse gourd.
“The best melon grown is In Ala
bama, with a thin rind, a whitish
melon. Lead me to them any time.”

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 6—“Our
House of Bishops is led in tow by
Wall street. The lat J. P. Morgan
was the power behind Bishop Greer,
and he held our House of Bishops
In the hollow of his hand
“The cathedral on Morningslde
Heights is a standing monument to
our New York corrupt money power.
It Is the embodiment of ecclesiastical
snobbery, spiritual frippery and moral
Incompetency.
“Since the day of Rlshop Potter the
diocese of New York has been in con
trol of half a dozen plutocrats. In
Philadelphia the Episcopal Church is
‘run’ by a few rich men. They con
trol the Bishop (Rhinelander), who, in
mental ability, personal authority and
moral aggressiveness is not, by any
means, a great man.
“August Belmont is at the head of
our race track gamblers. His career
is one of the worst careers for an
American youth to Imitate. Yet he is
prominent In the Church of the As
cension on lower Fifth avenue."
The foregoing quotations are from
a sermon delivered in St. John’s
Episcopal Church by the rector, the
Rev. George Chalmers Richmond.
"In most of the large parishes of
the Episcopal Church throughout the
country we find men like Belmont
and the late J. P. Morgan, who curb
the spiritual Influence of the clergy,
make them timid, and in the end
cause them to shrivel up morally.
Men In humble circumstances dis
trust our sincerity. The Episcopal
Church is not sincere in its present
assumed attitude toward labor.
“My own ecclesiastical superior
Bishop Rhinelander, was elected two
years ago," said Mr. Richmond,
“largely through the push and pull of
Wall street Interests, corporation law .
| yers and social idlers, together with
a few of our clergy among whom tow-
i ered pre-eminently the Rev. Father
i Mortimer, of the ‘High Church gang,’
j who has since been disposed from the
ministry for gross Immorality."
