THE DROWNING OF MISS MASSEY.
Further Particulars of the Accident
at Cumberland Island.

Brunswick, Ga July 1.-THE following
are additional particulars of the drown
ing of Miss Mary Massey, while bathing
In the surf at Cumberland Island, Thurs
day. Her death cast a feeling Of gloom
over the guests at Cumberland. and when
the body was transported to the boat it
was accompanied by a number to pay
final tribute to one. who during a brief
stay among them and past association,
had endeared herself to them. The death
Of the young lady occurred at o'clock
yesterday morning. as she was taking the
first surf bath in her life. A party of FIVE
composed of Col T. w. Latham Of Scot
land, Miss Clara Hampton of Gainesville,
Fla, Miss Myrtis Mobley OF Lumber City,
and Miss Massey had been in the water
the usual length Of time, when Col. Lath-
am took them all out to the beach. Miss
Massey was so pleased with the novelty
of the surf that she proposed TO return,
and with Miss Hampton consenting, went
back in. The water was not deep where
they stood, but IL was low tide and coming
in rapidly. Miss Massey was In some man.
ner separated from Miss Hampton and
being in poor health, and unacquainted
with the surf, II is presumed that she be-
came frightened and the shock brought on
heart disease resulting in immediate death.
Strange as It may seem, the body did not
sink at any time, but fioated on the waves,
the features Of the young girl betraying
no evidence of trouble or apprehension,
but on the contrary being perfectly com
posed and happy looking.
Mr.. W. Q. Stamps of Atlanta was riding
by on his bicycle and saw the body float
ing on the waves. He quickly dismounted
and swan out to rescue II, bringing his
burden to the friends who had so gayly
mingled together a few minutes before.

FARES PAID CONDUCTORS.
The Rebate Check system May he
Enforced by the Commission.

The Rebate Check system May he
Enforced by the Communion.
Atlanta, Ga, July 17.-An important
question will be taken up by the state rail-
read commission for consideration on the
oath Of this month. The question is upon
the adoption of check-back system on
the various railroads in the state. This
system is designed to prevent the collec-
ton OF more than three cents per mile from
passengers who fail to buy tickets at reg
ular ticket stations. Under the present
law when a passenger for any reason falls
TO get ticket at the station, the conduc-
tor collects four cents per mile travelled
The object of this additional charge of
one cent per mile is TO make passengers
get tickets at the stations and relieve con-
ductors of the temptation to knock
down on the cash fares. Complaint of the
tour-cent mile rate was made to the
commission by a passenger on the Plant
system, which has caused the commits
sioners to take up the proposition to order
the adoption of the back-check system
by which each passenger who pays to a
conductor would get a check emitting him
10 rebate equal to the extra cent a mile
collected by the conductor The system
besides saving good deal to passengers
acts as sure check against conductors
and many of the railroads will favor rath-
er than oppose ii before the commission.

Statement in Justice to the Late
Pierce MeIdrim.
Swainsboro. Ca, July 17.-Editor Morn
ing News: Please allow me space in your
paper to correct the statements made in
your paper that there was a woman con-
nected with the murder of Pierce NJ Mel
dTim. These statements do injustice to
young Mendrims memory and his very
est.mable family. Young Meldrim was on
his route to the postoffice for the night
mail, and when passing through a side
street was cut to pieces before he could
defend himself, by Warren Brlnson. who
acknowledged the crime, and gives as his
reason that he thought 1t was Johnnie
Coleman, colored, who had been attentive
TO his wife. 1t was the most horrible
crime ever committed in this community.
Amy statements that there was a woman
in the case or that threats of dynamfting
the jail We're made, are absolutely false.
and is maliciously told. Meldrim was a
quiet straightforward and unobtrusive
youth, pious and Christian-like. and was
loved by all his acquaintances The af-
fair was a sad blow to his invalid par
ents, and they have the sympathy of the
entire community.
In justice to the young mans memory.
please give this publication.
