Tinney, but were made sad with the
knowledge that she can no longer

Mrs r. L. Goldsmith of Smith county

whom the women Of dear old SIXTH
will render the same loyal service they
have given Mrs. Tinney.
Mrs. Alice Young of Downs, who
has been our corresponding secretary
for years, with great acceptnesS, re-
quested to be relieved as her time is
fully employed in the work of the
lecture bureau of which she is Secre-

selection for this Office in the person
OF Mrs. Eva Murphy of Goodland.
AS our recording secretary and
treasurer were the best to be had
they were retained. We had the
pleasure of meeting Mrs. Kemp, the

New York, Feb. 7.-As an outcome
Of the disputes in the medical frater-

to vivisection. His offer is not con

it is altogether unlikely that a mem

such a thing even if the law would
permit. Dr. Russell's offer makes the

BREAKING SCAFFOLD
HURLS MEN TO DEATH
Fifty Feet They Fall on Pile
of Jagged Lumber.
LEE RAILEY's LEAP FOR LIFE

New EIseman Building In Atlanta
Scene of Accident Which Results In
the Death Of One Man and Probably
the Fatal Injury Of Two Others.
Atlanta, Feb. 7-As a result Of
broken scaffold in the building of
Eiseman Bros. that is being erected
on the Whitehall street viaduct three
men were dashed a distance of As feet
this morning shortly after Z o'clock.
The men who fell were Fred Cole,
who lived on Windsor street near
Woodward avenue; Henry Reynolds,
of AZ Pratt street, and G. w. White,
of Senoia.
The men were painters and were at
work on a portion of the ceiling around
the skylight They fell on pile OF
Jagged timbers that had been thrown
on the lower floor directly under
meath where they had been at work.
In few minutes after the accident
Fred Cole was dead at the Grady hos
pital.
Reynolds is now at the hospital In
an unconscious condition and White
was operated upon shortly after reach
ing the hospital.
Reynolds has c0ncussion of the
brain, three ribs on the left side are
fractured and he is suffering from in"
ternal injuries.
White sustained severe fracture
of the skull, bad scalp wound and an
ugly wound on the left side OF his
head above the temple. His collar
bone was broken and he has several
contusions on the head. He is also in"
jured internally.
Lee Bailey, also painter, who lives
at 72 Decatur street, was on the scat
fold and had a miraculous escape from
death. When the crash came Bailey
was standing near a column at the
northwest corner of the skylight. With
q strength born of desperation he leap
ed for his life and caught, he knows
not how, on the column nearest him.
There he hung breathless, with moth
ing between him and the floor, nearly
30 feet below. All this had happened
with the short space of a gasp of
breath and the scaffold plunged DOWN
ward, carrying it's freight of humanity
with it. Cole struck on his back.
Reynolds and White struck, it is be-
lieved, on their heads, as the blood
was flowing freely from their heads
and faces.
Fred Cole was about 40 years old.
He leaves a wife and one child. Rey-
nolds has a wife and four children.
White is about 80 years old. His
home is in Senoia and it is not known
whether he has family.
The four men had only been on the
scaffold a few minutes when it fell.
Foreman w. Flindt, in charge Of the
carpentering of the building, thinks
that the men must have all been stand
ing on the same plank, which was
unable to support their aggregate
weight
