ENGINEER GEORGE KINNEY.
Killed In the recent Southern
wreck at Danville, Va.
Engineer* Kinney Said
He Would Meet Dan
ger Calmly.
Special to The Georgian.
Salisbury. N. C., Dec. 10.—A con-
coiirse of Salisbury and Spencer peo
ple followed the- funeral train of En
gineer George C. Kinney to Thomas-
ville. his home, yesterday, and the
Masons of the two cities took part In
the burial of the dead engineer. The
Southern railway furnished free trans
portation to those who desired to at
tend the last rites, and the largest con
course ever seen at such an occasion
attended.
George Kinney's tragic death leaves
but one man of a family more noted
in railroad history than any men op
erating trains for the Southern. There
were four of the boys—Charles, Frank
or “Bud,” Will and George. Their
father, J#ome Kinney, was as famous
as any of the children, and all have
borne the reputation of being the
bravest and best men who ever sat on
the right side of au engine.
Three and a half years ago Charles
Kinney met death on train No. 34, near
Lynchburg, within a mile or so of the
killing of Samuel Spencer by his broth
er Will, who ran Into Spencer's train
with a dying southwestern limited. No.
37. Charles ran Into a train and jump
ed from the engine when a car turned
over on him. Fate was cruel and had
he remained the, apparent certain death
would have been avoided. Some time
before that Ids brother died as the re
sult of heart failure while running an
engine on the Seaboard.
Jerome Kinney, the father, ran Into
a train near Charlotte, and was so bad
ly disabled that ho quit the service.
In the courts he received the largest
verdict ever given In a railroad dam
age suit in this state, $22,500, and in
terest 'from date of Injury.
When Will Kinney dashed into the
Spencer train Thanksgiving day he did
not have time to jump, and sitting still,
he came out practically unscathed,
crawling with his grip through the
burning debris and receiving scorched
hair only.
A few days ago George Kinney was
being teased by a fellow-railroader
and told that his time would come next.
He said he had made up his.mind that
these filings are the flats of destiny,
and that If he met danger he would not
dodge It. He was true, and when
found with his foot pinioned with the
reverse lever, his face scalded beyond
recognition and his magnificent phy
sique crushed shapelessly by a 1,200-ton
monster engine, It was apparent that
he had not In that dramatic moment
experienced fear, an emotion with
which he had never exchanged cards
In all of his 38 years.
Kinney wan a hero, who never strove
with the world for witness, one always
In the silent watches of the night,
while he lived and when he died.

FIVE MILLION MARK
PASSED BY BUILDERS
High Tide of Progress
Sweeps Over
Atlanta.
Building permits f'or the year have
already exceeded $5,000,000.
The toiost ardent hopes of the most
ardent hopers for Atlanta’s welfare
have been exceeded. It was only a
week ago that the prediction was made
that the building permits for the year
would he $5,000,000. This figure has
already been exceeded, and the climb
to $6,000,000 has.begun.
The permits for last year amounted
to $3,312,931,* The Increase this year
over last is now In the neighborhood of
75 per cent/ • and from present pros-
pectii will aipount nearly td 100 per
cent. And y«, ,|ast year was consid
ered one of unprecedented prosperity.
The amount of pejrrftlts up to Decem
ber 1 this year wgs $4,816,930. The
amount for the first week of December
was $261,009- The total amount-through
the first week of December Is $5,077,930.
If the permits for the last three weeks
of the month'ale as great as the per
mits for the first week the total for the
year will be about $6,000,0Q0, which will
lack only a few thousand of being dou
ble that of last year. '

As Schurz Felt W»flnsr,
From McClure’s.
The musical language of Wagner has
always Impressed me us something like
the original language of the eternal
elements—something awe-lnsplrlngly
eloquent, speaking In tones rising from
mysterious depths of understanding
and passion. It is difficult to illustrate
by example, but I will try. Among the
funeral marches In musical literature,
Beethoven's and Chopin’s had always
most sympathetically appealed to mg
feelings—Beethoven's with the stately
solemnity of Its mourning accents, and
Chopin's with Its cathedral bells inter
woven with melodious plaints. But
when I hear the Siegfried dead march
the Gotterdamnierung, my heart
beat seems to stop nt the tremendous
sigh of woe, never heard before, rush
ing hrough the air.
“Tha Comforts of Homo.”
"Please wire to Boston for my
clothes,” said an excited young woman
to a New York Central official at For
ty-second street the other day, accord
ing to The New York Globe.
A puzzled look was ull the railroad
man gave In response.
"It is this way,” she continued when
she regained a calmness consistent
with dear expression. I came on the
sleeper from Chicago. Our berth was
so crowded flint I hung my skirts In
the sleeper back of ours; It seemed
unoccupied. Somehow along the road
It was switched off. The conductor
says it went to Boston.”*
"She wants ull the comforts of home
on a sleeper,” said the official after
wards.
New York. Dec. 10.—“I4et me alone;
I wish to die. There Js no one to
blame.”
So declared Mrs. Lula B. Grover,
aged 45, to a physician who was called
her apartments yesterday by a
neighbor who told the doctor that Airs.
Grover was dying.
The neighbor heard groans and on
Investigating found the Grover woman
unconscious on the floor. When the
doctor arrived the woman recovered her
senses and begged to be permitted to
die. Instead, she was taken to a hos
pital. She was suffering from chloro
form poisoning.

that there had been a heavy drain
on the city’s strong box for im
provements that were absolutely
necessary, a yd they tried to do
with what was given them.
But the time has now arrived
when they cannot patch up old
schools with additional rooms', for
they have reached the limit in this
line. They need new schools—
several of them. Thy need some to
take the piaces of the old frame
structures and others to relieve
the congested conditions.
Assistant Superintendent Lan
drum has shown by his figures
that since 1002 there has been a
yearly increase of about £00 pu
pils, so that means there will be an.
increase of 800 pupils next year. ’
At 40 pupils to a room,—that’s th»
number experts say is enough—it
will take twenty rooms and about
as many more to relieve the con

James <\ Dahlman. the mayor of
Omaha, was talking about bores. "I
jjsed to be pestered to death with a
bore," he said. ‘ My doorkeeper was a
good-natured, obliging chap, and he
could never find It in Itfs heart to turn
the bon* away. Just as sure ns I was

It Is admitted by aclenlists that all form,

that substances of .certain rates of vibra
