O OO0OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUT OFF HIS GAS! USER SUES FDR HEAVY DAMAGES Claiming that the Atlanta Gas Light Company removed a meter from hts house at 469 North Boulevard, and shut off his gas for the non-payment of a bill which, he says, he has re ceipted, B. A. Harris, through his at torney, James L. Key, filed suit In the civil branch of the city court Friday for 55,000 damages against that cor poration.

Accord ing to the petition this was done, not withstanding the fact that Harris wrote the company to the effect that he had paid his blU and had the receipt. It is also alleged that on two pre vious occasions the gas company’s agents entered Harris' house and re moved meters and stopped furnishing him gas without authority, and that Ihe gas company has repeatedly at tempted and succeeded In humiliating him. After Ms gas supply was cut off,; notwithstanding the alleged fact that the bill for the month In question was paid and receipted for. Harris says he was forced to light his house with candles and lamps and to Install a cook stove In Ihe place of the gas range.

A well-known member of the ’400’ ho* a well-devel oped cone of the disease," says Dr. A. S. Ashmead, recognized authority on leprosy. This startling statement made today by the best-known authority on leprosy caused amazement. New' Yorkers thought that the leper colony on Blackwells Island had been abolished years ago, but today there are five wretched men housed In wood en sheds on the Island, patiently await ing for death to release them. Dr. Darlington, health commissioner, says that leprosy Is not contagious, and he does not feel that his department ts called upon to deal with It. Dr. Doty, health officer of the port, when asked what he would do If he discovered lep rosy In an Immigrant ship, replied: "There would be nothing for me to do except to pass them. Their disease would not be classed as contagious, therefore I would have no right to In terfere with them." fn direct conflict with these view's are those of Dr. Ashmead, whose ut terances were very emphatic. "Leprosy," he said, "Is a, great men- Speclal to The Georgian. Home, Gs.. Dec. 21.—A north-bound freight train on the Central road was wrecked at sn early hour this morning about two miles from Home. Several cars were ditched and the track torn up for 100 yards. The cab broke loose from the train ami Jumped the track In ten feet of n trestle, but fortunately no one was hurt. After crossing the trestle several of the cars left the track and were dragged some distance, tearing up the track as they# went. The wreck Is thought to have been cmuwi by the brake beam on one of the cars com ing loose and dragging heavily on the cross- ties, testing then* up in soma places and causing tho rails to spread. Passenger trains were delayed here sev eral hours on account of the wreck. Horsas Delayedi Wants Damage. Alleging that a shipment of horses over the Louisville and NaahvlUa rail road was delayed In ahlpmant from Cincinnati to this city, 36 hours, S. T. Ryfcy filed stilt In the city court Fri day morning for $1,227.50 damages. Pe. tltloner says that the horses were badly Injured when they arrives} and the 24 animals had decreased In value on account of bad shipment to tha amount of the damages asked.

Gunn will con tinue hie lecturee on the church and state troubles In France, Sunday morn ing at It o'clock at the Sacred Heart church. Great Interest le being taken In thle discussion. ace. The port of New York le the gateway of this country through which the old world Is flocking, and It should be carefully guarded. It Is criminal to allow such a terrible plague to get root here just because boards of health have not been able to dlacover the medium by which the disease Is transmitted and therefore they hold that It is not contagious. "Leprosy follows the lepera. It does not exist In races where there hss never been any contact with the lepera. It did not exist among the North Amer ican Indians, but It does spread among races In hot and cold countries alike wherever contact with lepera Is estab lished." “The Georgian was bom full grown.” Ex-Governor W. J. Northen.
