Mrs. Russell Bone was seriously
and painfully injured last Thursday
evening about 6:30 o'clock in an au
tomobile accident, which occurred on
the Eatonton road about two miles
from Gray.
Mr. and Mrs. Bone and their two
little daughters were returning home
from Macon, and were making a de
tour on the Eatonton road, when
they came upon the scene of a pre
vious accident.
A car in which Mr. and Mrs. Ear
ned B. Ring, of St. Petersburg, Fla.,
were riding had overturned, pinning
them in it, and Mr. Lawrence Ma
this had stopped hiR car and was en
deavoring io release them. Mr. Bone
stopped his automobile, and went to
his assistance. Being unable to re

to go to Gray for a physician and an-

younger daughter standing on the
r.ide of the road near the scene of
the accident. Soon after Mr. Bone
had left a heavily ladened highway
express truck, coming from Macon
crashed into both of the cars. Mrs.
Bone, seeing the approaching truck
crossed* the road, with her little
daughter in her arms, in order to get
lis far away from the cars as possi
ble. She, howevir, was struck by one
of the automobiles and knocked
against the embunkment. The inju

and also painfully bruited. Her little
girl was knocked from her arms, but
escaped without injury.
Mr. Bone, returning from Gray

terwards, Mrs. Bone was carried to
Gray, arxi later brought to her home
in this city in an ambulance from
Macon. She has been under the care
of nurses and physician, and her
condition is improving, although she
is still suffering from the injuries,
bruises and the nervous shock.
It is reported that Mr. Mathis was
also seirously injured, having one
of his legs broken, and being pain
fully bruised. He was carried to the
Macon hospital.
The Rings were also carried to
Macon, but were found to be not so
seriously hurt.
Great concern was felt by the
many friends of Mrs. Bone, when
the news of the accident became j
known here, and all of them while
keenly regretting the accident, are
thankful that she escaped death for
it was indeed fortunate that she and
her little daughter were not killed.

To Newspaper Men. Georgia
Military Cllege Was the Scene
Of a Brief Meeting.
The Georgia press party, one hun
dred strong, invaded the old capital
of Georgia last Thursday, visiting
the scenes of their organization the
Georgia State College for Women
and “Georgia’s Greatest Charity,"
the Georgia State Sanitarium.
The editors in company with mem
bers of the Kiwania Club of Eaton
ton arrived in the city about 10:30
o'clock as the guests of Milledgcville
newspapers, the Kiwanis Club and
the Georgia State Sanitarium,
their arrival they were served cold
drinks by the MilledgeviDe Coca-Cola
Company and were then shown to
the Georgia MUitary College chapel,
which was in former days used as the
house chamber. It was in this hall
that the Georgia Press Association
found its birth forty years ago. Col.
Joseph E. Pottle, Mayor J. H. Ennis
and Col. Erwin Sibley welcomed the
visitors in behalf of the city and Ki
wanis Club. Editor R. B. Moore ex
tended the greetings of the local
P. T. McCutcheon, editor of the
Franklin News and Banner, and a
charter member of the association,
responded to the welcome addresses.
He reviewed the history of the asso
ciation and told nomething of the
organization program. Past Presi
dent Ernest Camp and President
Emily Woodward, were introduced
to the audience.
The Georgia State College for Wo
men was the next point of visit by
the editors, where they were greeted
by Judge R. B. Russell and Miller S.
Bell, members of the board of trus
tees, and Dr. J. L. Beeson, acting
president of the college. They were
shown the new buildings recently
erected by the college and other in
teresting points.
Dr. R. C. Swint, superintendent of
the Georgia State Sanitarium, met
the visitori* at the college and con-

was routed Wednesday night when
he attempted to enter the home of
Mrs. B. W. Binford, on the hili about
midnight.
The man had tried to enter the
Thaxton home and had awakened
Mr. Thaxton, who was watching his
maneuvers. When he failed to leave
the neighbors and made an attempt
to enter the Binford home, next
door, to the Thaxton's, the G. S. C.
W. profressor fired at him, the shots
missing their mark and the man mak
ing his escape.
The police were called but failed
to find trace of the burglar.
The registration books show that
little interest is being shown in the
approaching city primary, as few are
registering, which is necessary if
they participate in the primary. The
registration hooka close October 6th.
COLONIAL MANAGEMENT
COMPLIMENTS THE LEGION
The members of the American Le
gion this week received complimen
tary tickets to the Colonial Thurs
day and Friday of this week to the
picture, “Rookies." Manager Curry
had the Legionnaires as bis guests to

side of the war.
of the city. In Yarbrough Park an
elegant barbecue dinner was served
them. Dr. Swint assured the editors
of the pleasure that he felt in en
tertaining them. Dan Bickers, Geor
gia's beloved poet, in a brief speech
responded to Dr. Swint's welcome.
The wervice of the Sanitarium to
the state was never more forcefuUy
impressed than it was Thursday. The
editors were shown through the
spotless halls and rooms of the in
mates and into the infirmary. The
neatness and excellent cars of the
patients were convincing to those who
viewed the bnildings of the institu
tion. The over crowded conditions
that were found told something of
the need of more funds from th<
state, and justifiable foundation fo:
the call for mor* money.
There is nothing more impr waive
about the institution than th* per
sonal devoted work with the patients
Every person on the place has their
part in running the great institution
and the system keeps every hand
busy.
The editors were rushed away in
automobiles for Madison at the con
clusion of the trip through the San
itarium, where they boarded a train
for North Georgia.
