package in the rack above his head, when,
without warning, the train was suddenly
backed. % He was thrown over the next seat

broken besides which he received internal
injuries

ing provisions from his larder. He made
INQUIRIES and the fourth cook said the third

trouble Kinney, senior, and Mr. Barry,

the Georgia Chemical Works of Augusta
| will, In the near future, establish a branch
factory in or near Macon. J. Rice Smith,
manager Of the above concern, has been in
Macon for several days past in consultation
with property owners in regard to a suit
| able location for the works. 1t is now
| pretty definitely decided that the plant will
be located on the track OF the Central rail
road just east of the city limits, on land
| owned at present by Theodore Ellis and E.
G. Harris. The capital invested in the
enterprise win be at least 500 900.
| Mineral, acids, compounds and fer
| tilizers will be the chief articles to
Der of workmen and chemical experts will
be employed in the establishment, all of
| OF whom will help swell the population and
increase the retail trade of Macon, if the
works can be located near the city. An
immense quantity of phosphate rock which
now goes to Atlanta, will be brought there
! to be made into fertilizers. One order made
by the chemical works last season was for

Athens promises to have a series of liti-
cations over the paving law recently passed
by the legislature, and now being carried
out by the city council. From the time of
its inception it has received opposition from
some of the citizens, and when it passed the
leSlAdJuTe Luo lOllOWluR uOUlCe appeared
one afternoon IN the columns of the Athens
Euening Chronicle: "The owners of real
estate will please take notice that we do
not object, and never have objected, to the
city council paving the sidewalks and car
riage-ways of the city when
and where it is necessary. But we
deny, utterly deny, their right to
collect the cost Of any pavement whatever
from the owners of lots abutting thereon.
We hold that the pretended paving law is
unconstitutional, and consequently null and
void, and we shall resist it by all legal
means on that ground. r L. Moss, pro-
visional chairman" 1t attracted very little
attention at the time, but it now develops
that there is more in it than was at first
} thought. There is a protective association,
with its chief officer, and they will resist
the enforcement of what they call the pre-
tended paving law.
A case in which babies are interested was
before the recorder at Macon, Thursday,
and it involves quite a question. For some
J time complaints have been lodged with
Chief of Police Kenan of the nurses who
roll baby carriages on the streets, taking UT
J more OF the sidewalk than they were en-
titled to by rolling several carriages
abreast. The chief has i'll person anC
| through his officers endeavored to stop this
practice, but has been unable to do so. The
: nurses seem to have taken up the idea thai
| because they have babies in charge they
can do as they please, and tina
the police would not arrest them
! while having babies under their care
On Wednesday afternoon Mary Wright
I Georgia Perry and Mela Leonard wer,
8 rolling their infantile cabs on Poplar street
near the city hall, and then stopped, tire,
abreast, to gossip. While there a lady wa,
compelled to go out into the street in tn,
S mud, and SO did all who passed at the time
: This was witnessed by the chief and two Of
D the officers, and the nurses were ordered VI
r before the recorder Thursday they hac
a very little to say-of course denying the
charge that they had stopped on the walk
n The recorder reserved his decision in thu
y matter. He said the baby carriage was
, vehicle. and yet they were never rolled il
the middle of the street as other vehicles
, and yet the sidewalk was intended fol
pedestrians and not vehicles He preferred
: to look up the law and see just how far &
y baby carriage could go.
