DROWNED AT CUITBERLAND.
Miss Mary Massey of Scotland, Ga.,
was drowned last Thursday at Cumber
land while taking a batii at low tide, in
company with Miss Clem Hampton of
Greenville, Fla., and Miss Myrtle Mob
ley of Lumber City, Ga.
Col. T. W. Latham of Atlanta, ac
companied the ladies to the shore, say-
lie thought they had been in the
water long enough. Miss Massey was
eager to remain longer and Miss Hamp
ton agreed to take care of her and Miss
Mobley. Very soon they bad ventured
into deep water and Miss Hampton, the
only one who could swim, called for
help and begged the young ladies to try
to keep calm and keep their heads
above water. Mr. ,\V. O. Stamps of
Atlanta, was riding by on his bicycle
heard the cry and rushed to the rescue,
bringing out Miss Mobley first, and
then returning for Miss Massey, suc
ceeded in bringing her to the shore with
the help of Mr. George Wrigley of
Macon, and the colored attendant at
the batii house. When reached Miss
Massey was floating on the surface of
the water and gave no sign of life. It
I is thought she must have died of heart
failure and fright.
Misses Massey and Mobley were pu
pils of the Normal and Industrial col
lege in this city last year.
