IN FLYING AUTO
After being fatally Injured In a afreet
car accident In West End Thursday
night ahority before midnight, Conduc
tor J. C. Hightower, of tho Georgia
Railway and Electric Company, whose
home le In Fraeer street, was taken to
the Grady hospital In an apparently
dying condition In an automobile,
which skimmed over the deserted thor
oughfares at record speed.
The nuto Is owned and waa operand
by Julian F. Baxter. The machine
reached the scene of tho accident Juet
after It occurred, and. realising that
the condition of Conductor Hightower
was desperate, Mr. Baxter placed him
the auto. A race for life then com
menced, Mr. Baxter pulling the ma
chine open and rushing through the
streets like the wind tn an effort to get
the Injured man to tnadfeal aid nt the
quickest possible moment. It was the
space of only a few minutes until the
auto rolled up to the hospital entrance
and Hightower was hurried Into the
operating room.
A remarkable feature of the run Is
the feet that the machine broke down
Juet after reaching the hospital and
refused to budge when Mr. Baxter
tried to start It on the return trip. It
was some lime before the machine waa
finally got In repair.
Conductor Hightower was Injured as
the result of the derailment of thh last
Incoming car from West End. the ae.
cldent occurring at Oordon and Hold-
emeas streets. The car left the rails
at a switch, and, after running over
the pavement for about 60 feet, crash
ed Into a telegraph pole, the car being
badly crushed.
Motorman J. W. Johnson Jumped In
time to escape serious Injury. He was
slightly bruised, but was able to be
out Friday. ,
Conductor Hightower le reported In
_j extremely critical condition and alt
hope of hie recovery has been nban
dnned. Hie death Is regarded ae i
matter of only a short time. He was
Internally Injured and his hip was also
broken.

MAY NOT OPEN POLLS
IN COLQUITT COUNTY
TOR PRIMARY ELECTION
Special to The Georgies.
Moultrie, Ga., Aug. 3.—Financing the
approaching state primary Is a ques
tion that la agitating the minds of the
local organisation of the Democratic
party. Chairman Z. H. Clark of the
county executive committee said to
day that there was some doubt about
there being any primary held In this
county. There la no money In the
treasury and he thinks It Improbable
that the candidates will stand for an
assessment from every county, or eveir
two-thirds of the counties of the state.
There are thirteen voting places In
this county, and 3,300 white qualified
voters. It costs 3300 minimum to hold
an election, when the polling places all
over the county are opened. The coun
ty commissioners of this county have
recently refuted to pay a portion of tho
expenses of the county primary, which
was held two months ago, and It' Is
presumed will refuse to bear yie ex
penses of the state primary.
The registrars of the county will re
fuse to make out the voters' lists until
some assurance ts forthcoming that
they will receive pay. There are tick
ets and election blanks to be printed
and none of this wilt be undertaken un
less some scheme presents • Itself for
raising' the money. Chairman Clark
has written to State Chairman Yeo
mans to get hie advice In the matter.

BRINDAMOUR ESCAPES
LEA VING CELL LOCKED
Brlndamour, the handcuff wonder and
Jallbreaker, who has been mystifying
audiences at the Casino this week, suc
cessfully broke oufcof the Atlanta police
station Thursday night, after having
been locked In a cell and both of his
hands handcuffed to the barred cell
door.
The feat required just two minutes
and forty-five seconds.
And It places the Atlanta prison on
the record as the four hundred and
sixty-seventh Jail broken by the mar
velous Brlndamour.
Police Captain Mayo and several po
lice officers were present at the station
Thursday night when Brlndamour vis
ited the prison and performed hla re
markable agi. None of the officers be
lieved the man could do what he
claimed, but It was only a few minutes
until their opinion materially changed.
Brlndamour waa taken Into cell No.
28 and a fair of handcuffs placed on
either wrist. One hand was then fast
ened near the top of the cell door, as
high as the "prisoner" could reach, and
the other handcuffed to the bottom
K rtlen of the door. The strongly
rred doof was then closed and se
curely locked by Turnkey Brennan, It
fastening with a spring lock.
The auditors then retired from the
corridor and awaited developments.
Two minutes and forty-five seconds
from the time the door was closed
Brlndamour stood tn the corridor, a
pair of handcuffs dangling from each
hand, and the cell door still locked.
An announcement of thle feat waa
made by Brlndamour a short while
later Thureday night from the Casino
StAgS.
In breaking out of 467 Jails, Brlnda
mour has won the record of being the
only man who ever broke from Sing
Sing prison.
GOVERNOR POOH-POOHS
AT ATTORNEY COOPER
Attorney John R. Cooper came tt>
Atlanta late Thursdhy afternoon, pos
sessed of the Idea that a plot was on
foot In Valdosta to lynch the Rawlins
and Alt Moore.
He visited the governor; who laughed
the Macon man out of any such wild
notion.
"John,” said the governor, "I don't
think there's the least danger of any
kind of a demonstration In Valdosta.
But maybe (you'd best not go down
there without a military escort.”
And by this kind of ''Joshing" Gov
ernor Terrell appeased the fears of the
lawyer who has fought so hard to save
his clients.
According to a atory In The Macon
News, Mrs. J. G. Rawlins came to
Macon Wednesday night and had a
long consultation with Mr. Cooper. She
tried to keep her presence secret, but
It became known that she was In the
city. ,
It Is probable that Mrs. Rawlins was
unduly excltbd over the matter, and
communicated her fears to Mr. Cooper.
At any rate, he made a hurry-bp trip
to Atlanta to see Governor Terrell.

when ordinary negro day laborers

WHISKY MEN WANT
TO EMPLOY MINORS
The whisky dealers were again In
the foreground at a meeting of the
police committee held In the mayor's
parlors Friday morning. The Foster
ordinance pertaining to minors work
ing In liquor houses was up for dis
cussion. It was decided to return the
ordinance to council with a substitute,
which will only allow minors to work
In liquor houses with the consent of
parenti and no children under the aga
of 16 to be allowed to work In connec-
tlon with such business.
Benjamin Z. Phillips, of the law
firm of Slaton A Phillips, represented
the liquor men. He based hie argu
ment on paternalism, declaring that
the council. If It passed the Foster ordi
nance, took authority out of the pa
rents' hands snd that this character of
legislation had been condemned since
the sixteenth century. The attorney
asked that minors at Isast be allowed
to work with the consent of the pa
rents.
• Councilman Foster stated that there
were laws preventing minors from en
tering pool rooms and saloons; that
they had been considered good laws,
and certainly the one under discussion
was a good one. He gave examples of
children who were taken to the police
station with the delirium tremens, and
said that the men who opposed the law
were only attempting to save a few
dollars at the expense of 'humanity,
white they wore diamonds as" large as
chestnuts.
At this Juncture one of the liquor
men, who was resplendent with dia
monds, turned a largs jewel ornament
ing his finger, toward the Inside of his
hand'and quietly took from his necktie
a "headlight” and sheepishly hid He
glare under his coat
The only other matter of Importance
was the unfavorable report on the ordi
nance taking from Retd Gordon. IS

door on Edgewood avenue.
