URIE ITEMS OFJMIA CITIES
Dawson. — During an electrical
storm lightning struck a tenant dwell
ing on John R. Mercer's farm near
Dawson, instantly killed a twelve
year-old colored girl and stunned two
others. They were on the porch eat
ing watermeldn at the time.
Cartersville. —Selling cigarettes to
minors, gambling among young white
men, liquor selling, loafing and such
petty crimes have occupied the at
tention of the Bartow county grand
jury for the past week and many bills
have been returned. Practically every
dealer in the city has-been indicted
for selling cigarettes to boys and
youths under legal age, and almost
every young fellow in the city has
been frightened by being ordered be
fore the grand jury.
Griffin. — An event of more than
passing importance was putting into
service the newly erected interlocking
plant which the Southern Railway
company has installed in Griffin for
the protection of train movement over
the Central of Georgia crossing at the
junction of the two roads. The new
interlocking plant is of the latest
improved type and is one of the larg
est mechanical plants anywhere in the
southeast. It contains 64 levers and
cost the sum of? 21,000.
Savananh. —From the windows of a
business house on Bay street Charles
B. Westcott, state deputy fish and
game warden, watched a hunter
through a pair of field glasses as he
came down the Savannah river in a
boat and placed him under arrest as
he reached the city. The hunter, J.
W. Cooper, had a gun, ammunition
and a bag containing eight picked
birds packed in ice. Mr. Westcott
has identified the birds as summer
ducks.
Milledgeville. — A twelve-year-old
negro boy, James Daniel, shot and kill
ed his six-year-old sister with a rifle
on the Napier plantation near here.
The boy ran, but was caught and
brought back home. He said he shot
the girl because he “wanted to kiss
her” and showed no fright or remorse
fßr what he had done.
LaGrange.—The LaGrange chamber
of commerce will hold a mass meeting
to discuss the coming Troup county
fair. Secretary H. 11. Wadsworth of
the fair will be on hand and give
a general outline of his plans as far
as they have matured. Other import
ant matters will be taken up and to
make the meeting as attractive as
possible, there will be a musical pro
gram, consisting of a quartet and
character recitations. This will be an
open-house meeting and a large at
tendance is expected.
Cordele—-A rather unwelcome expe
rience was that undergone by the
passengers of an Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic train. Over one hundred
cords of wood, stacked alongside the
track near Hatley, had caught fire
from some unknown cause and was
blazing fiercely when it was sighted
by the engineer. He pulled his throt
tle wide open and put the train un
der its best speed in order to avoid
damage to the train and passengers,
though the heat was so intense that
some of the passengers were almost
suffocated before the fire was passed.
Several small houses were also de
stroyed, and a ginnery located nearby
was in danger of being burned.
Brunswick. —Brunswick is making
preparations to give the Georgia
Weekly Press association a big time
when the editors visit the city. The
association will meet in LaGrange,
and, after a two days’ business session,
will leave for this city, arriving here.
The feature of the program will be
a boat trip to Frederica, where the
editors will be given a fish dinner.
Various other affairs are being arrang
ed in their honor and their visit to
the city will be made a pleasant one.
Milledgeville.—The erganized Sun
day school work in Baldwin county
has made good headway and gratify
ing results are being shown. The
first division meeting was held at
Pleasant Grove church, delegates at
tending from the various other schools
in the county. Several of the Milledge
vilel Sunday school representatives
made interesting and enthusiastic
talks about the work. All denomina
tions are joined together here in this
good work.
Lavonia —A path of desolation one
and a half miles wide and three miles
long near Lavonia was left by the
storm, the worst in years, which tra
versed Franklin county. The worst
damage was done about five miles
west of Lavonia, where the hallstones
beat the crops to pieces. About eight
farmers in that section have their
crops ruined. The cotton stalks were
so badly mangled that a leaf cannot
be found on a talk in field. The cot
ton in the section is almost ruined.
Damage was also done to corn by
beating the blades off and blowing
the stalks down. One house was burn
ed, set on fire by lightning; outhouses
set on fire by lightning, and outhouses
and trees were blown down by the
score. Barns were scattered over the
fields in some places, fences and trees
were blown down throughout the
storm’s path.
HOW COCA COLA REFRESHES.
The remarkable success which has
attended the sale of Coca-Cola has been
explained in many different ways. Some
have attributed it to "good advertis
ing;’’ others to "efficient management,’’
others, to its “delicious flavor” and still
others to the fact that it was the first in
the field of “trade-marked” soft drinks.
In this connection, the opinion of a
manufacturing chemist who has analyz
ed Coca-Cola and studied Its history for
many years, will prove Interesting. He
attributes the popularity of the drink
In large part to its quality of refresh
ing both mind and body without pro
ducing any subsequent depression.
He points out the fact that the chemical
composition of Coca-Cola is practically
identical with that of coffee and tea
(with sugar added) the only material
difference being the absence of tannlo
acid from Coca-Cola. He points to the
laboratory experiments of Dr. Holling
worth of Columbia University and of
Dr. H. C. Wood, Jr. of Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the caf
feine-contalnlng beverages (coffee, tea,
Coca-Cola, etc.) relieve mental and mus
cular fatigue by rendering the nerves
and muscles more responsive to the
will, thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue. These experi
ments also demonstrate the fact that
the caffeine group of beverages differ
from the stimulants in that the use of
the latter is followed by a period of de
pression which calls for more stimula
tion, thus resulting in the formation of
a "habit.” —Adv.
Seven Champions.
The Seven Champions of Christen
dom usually are listen in this order:
St. George of England, who was im
prisoned seven years by the Almidor,
the black king of Morocco; St. Denis
of France, who lived seven years in
the form of a hort; St. James of
Spain, who was seven years dumb
out of love for a fair Jewess; St. An
thony of Italy, enchanted—with other
champions—into a deep sleep in the
Black castle and released by St.
George's three sons, who quenched
the seven lamps by water from
the enchanted fountain; St. Andrew
of Scotland, who ■was guided through
the Vale of Walking Spirits by the
Walking Fire and delivered six wom
en who had lived seven years under
the form of milk-white swans; St. Pat
rick of Ireland, immured in a cell,
where he scratched his grave with his
own nails; St. David of Wales, who
slept seven years In the enchanted
garden of Ormandlne, but was re
deemed by St. George.
Making Boiled Milk Palatable.
Everybody knows that boiled milk
keeps much more satisfactorily in
warm weather than raw mllk-Hn fact,
boiling milk is the one sure way of
keeping it on a sultry day. But to
many persons the taste of boiled milk
is unpalatable, and to others even its
odor Is unpleasant.
To overcome these two faults, try
boiling the milk in a tightly-closed,
double boiler. Do not remove the
cover, but. allow the milk to stay over
the fire in the double boiler for ten
minutes after the water has begun to
boil. Then put the milk, still tightly
covered immediately on the ice and
cool it quickly.
FACE FULL OF PIMPLES
Ruffin, N. C. —“My face became full
of pimples and blackheads, and
would itch, burn and smart. The skin
was rough and red. _ I was really
ashamed of my face. My arms and
back were affected almost as badly.
The pimples would fester and there
would come a dry scab on top. The
trouble caused my face to be disfig
ured badly and the itching would both
er me so I could not sleep well nights,
especially during warm weather.
"The trouble lasted me three long
years without anything doing me any
good until a friend told me about Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment and then I
decided to try them. After the first
application I could see some improve
ment. After using Cuticura Soap and
Ointment two weeks I did not look
like the same person; most of the
pimples had disappeared. At the end
of four weeks I was completely
cured." (Signed) Miss Mamie Mitch

Death Lurks In A Weak Heart
WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, GEORGIA.
Divided His Time.
Ministerial duties and Increasing
dignity have not robbed a certain min
ister of his cherished boyhood ac
complishment of making fritters. He
frequently exercises this skill at break
fast time, much to the delight of the
younger members of the family. Edith,
the four-year-old daughter, recently
took tea with a member of the congre
gation. After the silent grace the
little one, looking at her unmarried
hostess, remarked with pity:
“You don’t have any one to pray
for you, do you ?”
Said one of the ladles present, smil
ing:
“I supose your papa prays for you
three times a day.” •
“Oh, no, he doesn’t,” was the inno
cent and earnest answer. “He fries
in the morning and prays in the after
noon!”
Naturally So.
“Is Jimson's role in the play, of a
butcher, a good one?”
“Not much; only a feeder.”

Time’s Changes Lamented.
Talk of the dog as a beast of bur
den in England and one recalls the
importance of the canine help in the
fish transit business of the past. The
carriers from the south coast towns
to Inland markets were once New
foundland dogs. Thus the order of
the team as quoted by Mr. Parker in
“Highways and Byways in Surrey;”
“Teams of two or four were har
nessed together. The man would
‘cock bls legs up along the sharves.’
They not only went as fast as the
coaches, but they gained time when
the coaches stopped to change horses.
A dog-drawn carriage used to bring
fish from Littlehampton to Godaiming,
where oysters were often to be bought
three a penny.” Oysters at three a
penny have gone with the dogs!—Lon

Unfortunates’ Yearly Feast.
At Fosdyke, a tiny village In Eng

ed that the occupants were to have
a feast. Every year the six old ladies
and the six old gentlemen meet the
trustees and have dinner. Some of
the trustees are county councilors and
the like, but according to the terms
of the will they have to serve the old
people first and make them comfort
able. The guests always sit In the
