woman’s home, seven miles from Mil

double tragedy, they are unable to tell
what prompted It

dock. a farmer, living near by, who
rushed to the house and discovered
the two bodies. He reported the trag
edy to officers in Millen.
Neighbors took charge of the four
children. They probably will be
adopted by relatives.

‘Rules Strict, 1 Says Superintend
dent Slaton—Office Thronged !
by Pupils and Parents.
"Vaccination is a most important
factor in protecting the health of
school children, and our rules in this
connection are most rigid," said Su
perintendent W. M. Slaton, of the
Atlanta public schools, Thursday. "As
a protection against smallpox it is an
absolute necessity, and should there
be laxity 1n enforcing ihe rule an epi
demic might result.
"Children are admitted to the
schools on the issuance by a physi
cian of a certificate that the child has
been vaccinated successfully. They
also are admitted when a physician
certifies that he has vaccinated the
child three times within twelve
months without success.
"When two physicians certify that
it would endanger the life of a child
to vaccinate him, and also when it is
shown that a child already has had
smallpox, a certificate is issued to
them by me.
‘There is one thing I wish the pub
lic and the physicians to understand
thoroughly. It is that a physician
should not issue a certificate that a
child has been successfully vacci
nated by him until after the vaccina
tion has taken. There have been in
stances where children have been vac
cinated and the physician has issued
them a certificate before it is known
whether the treatment has been suc
cessful.”
Superintendent Slaton and his office
force are exceptionally busy this week
issuing school certificates. More than
500 women and children called there
Wednesday afternoon, while Thursday
morning found a great crowd await
ing his arrival at the Boys’ EPlgb
School.

Rawson and Charles Collier, the
well-known young contract agents of
the Georgia Railway and Power
Company, are back in Atlanta from
a canoe trip down the French Broad
River, in Western North Carolina,
telling of some thrilling adventures
and one, unaccented, that was some
what depressing.
Full of youthful glee, last week they
boarded the Southern train for Ross-
nan, N. C., with a canoe they had
sculled many a mile over the wa
ters of Blast Lake, a balloon tent and
all things else necessary for a 125-
mile Journey down the river to Ashe
ville.
Experienced oarsmen are these
young men, and wonderful thriils they
had. Down the narrow river, crystal
clear, they sped between the towering
mountains. Time and again they
paused to marvel at the wonder of
the scenery, covered as it was with
all the luxuriant growth of late sum
mer. There was something more than
the breath of autumn in the atmos
phere. It seemed to give new life
with each deep breath, they said, and
they wondered jvhy people were so
foolish as to live down in the plains
of Georgia
Snakes for Bedfellows.
That was before they landed on the
first night. The snakes they encoun
tered in the bushes on the banks were
a little disconcerting, but they quickly
overcame them and pitched their tent
over corn furrows. There, in cradles
of mother earth, they slept while the
winds moaned through the hills.
They had two days and two nights
of such ecstasy. On the third day
they sighted a second traveler. He
appeared In undue haste, but two can
travel much faster than one in a ca
noe, especially when rapids have to
be shot. So they overtook him.
The man was reluctant to answer
questions. A little suspicious of him,
they finally accepted him as an ordi
nary mountaineer, and the two boats
passed on down the stream together.
As they came to the bridge at Ashe
ville they found their suspicions were
well grounded.
A great crowd of people hailed them
from the bridge and a huge man or
dered them to stop. The Colliers
obeyed. The huge man was no less a
personage than the county Sheriff
and the crowd a retinue of deputies
sufficient to start a revolution in Mex
ico. It gradually dawned on Rawson
Charles Collier that they were

AUGUSTA, Sept. 4.—For many

There was much arguing and ex
plaining, but the mountaineer Sheriff
insisted on taking them to Jail. The
charge against them, they gathered,
was that they had robbed an apple
orchard up the river and fought an
old woman who tried to drive them
away. That was the story of a moun
taineer who was insisting that the
Sheriff arrest them.
It seemed that all their pleading
was in vain, when their strange trav
eling companion spoke up:
"I’m the man you want,” he said.
"These men know nothing about this
matter. I had a companion, but he

With the advent of Acting General

that this practice has been broken up.
Under the old system of lending
money the person lending it received
a high per cent, while the official
who paid off received a per cent for

by a number of railroad employees.

Brooklyn. N. Y.—"At first little

itched me so much that I scratched
myself until I bled. There were
times when I stood v.p all night
and scratched. 1 was troubled
about three weeks, during which
time I us*ed , which seemed
U
to do me no good whatever. Then
finally, I thought of trying Resinol
Soap and Resinol Ointment. As
soon as 1 applied Resinol Ointment
I felt much relief. After using it a
few times, I noticed the sore spots
slowly fading away, and in about
a month I was cured completely."

Resinol Is not an experiment. It
is a doctor’s prescription which
