STRUCK BY A.&B.CAR
CARLTON SUTTON LIES PAINFULLY
INJURED AT HIS HOME.
WAS PLAYING MARBLES
AND ROSE FROM HIS KNEES AL
MOST DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF CAR.

MOtOrman Was Running Slow, Ring
ing Bell and Had Called to Boy.
Injuries Sustained, Bruised
Shoulder, Bruises on Head and
Possibly Internal Hurts-TTvO of
Boys PIaymates Saw Accident.
Car Rolled or Dragged It's Victim
Six or Eight Feet-Picked Up by
NeighbOr and Carried Home.
Carlton Sutton, the s-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Sutton, is at the
home of his parents, No. 124 CASTOR
street, west, suffering from a number
of painful bruises received yesterday
afternoon when he was struck by an
A. and b. belt car at CASTOR and Barn
ard streets, within twenty feet of the
door of his home.
The boy with number of his COM
panions had been playing marbles in
the sand near the track. The other
boys had stopped and started off, but
not so with young Sutton. He was on
his knees in the sand within a few
feet of the track as a northbound car
approached. Motorman w. T. Per-
kins called to him to get out of the
way, and Sutton got up. but was either
too close to the track, or, becoming
confused by the nearness of the, dan
ger, the call of the motorman, and the
changing of the gong, he started to-
wards the track instead of away from
it.
The front of the step of the car
struck him, and he was knocked or
rolled some six feet. Two of his
young friends, Howard Sternberg and
Louis Trebony, claim to have been but
short distance from the boy and to
have seen the accident. Carlton
raised up" they stated, land the car
hit him and rolled him along the
ground" Mrs. Trebony, who lives on
the western side of Barnard street, di-
rectly opposite the spot where the boy
lay after he was thrown from the car,
rushed across the tracks, picked the
youngster up, and carried him into the
home of his mother.
Doctors were summoned and in a
short time DR.. S. L. Phillips, DR.. J.
S. Howkins, Dr. A. B. Simmons and
DR.. j. o. Cook reached the scene. An
examination showed that the victim
of the accident was bruised on the left
shoulder and on the back of the head,
but had no fractures of any kind. He
complained of pains in his stomach,
which may mean internal injuries,
though this could not be determined on
the first examination.
The car by which Sutton was struck
was No. 412. Conductor c. G. New
man stated after the accident that he
had not seen the boy until after ne
was struck, while Motorman Perkins
confirmed the statement of the boys
companions, that he had risen from his
knees almost directly in the way of
the car. Mr.. E. w. O'Connor, a rep
resentative of the Savannah Electric
Company, visited the scene of the &C
cident shortly after it happened and as
certained substantially the facts given
above.
Both motormen and conductors on
the Abercorn- Barnard belt state that
the block between Gordon and CASTOR
streets, on Barnard, causes them more
trouble than all the remainder of the
belt, as the boys will play on the
tracks, and it is only by the utmost
caution that they are able to prevent
frequent accidents of the kind that hap
pened yesterday.

newspapers the case of a man who
was afflicted as was and was cured

BIG LEVEE CONVENTION
TO BE HELD IN NEW ORLEANS ON
TUESDAY, ocTosER 81.
Questions Of IncaleuiabIe interest to
the People Of the Whole Nation
viii Be Discussed.

On October 9th will be held in New
Orleans the convention of the Inter
state Mississippi River Improvement
and Levee Association, and at the ses-
sions to be held then many prominent
men will advocate government control
of the Mississippi levees, In order that
the vast tracts-some 100000 acres
of now useless swamp lands in the
States Of Mississippi, Louisiana and
Arkansas-may be reclaimed and
brought into cultivation. 1t will be
argued that State and private control
of the levees will never result in the
reclamation of this vast and rich ter
ritory, for the reason that the neces-
sary funds are not and cannot ne avail
able for many years to come; that
within a decade or so the world will
require twice as much cotton as it does
today; that the cotton fields of the
South are now producing practically
all the cotton they can be made to
grow; that this now useless territory,
which is about three times as large as
Holland, and as rich as the valley of the
Nile, is Americas only hope to con-
tinue supplying the world with all the
cotton 1t requires; that the question of
government control is purely national,
because every State in the Union will
be benefited either in the sale of the
new crop or the sale of supplies and
manufactured articles to the new popu-
lation; that the State revenue, now 60
ing into levees, should be turned into
educational channels, where it is badly
needed.
1t Will also be shown that wherever
the government has taken charge OF
the Mississippi levees absolute success
has followed; government levees do
not break. The State levee boards
will not be criticised Tor the Reason
that, considering the difficulties they
encounter, their work has been all that
any reasonable mind could expect.
Delegates to the convention are ex-
pected from at least thirty States and
Territories. The railroads have grant
ed one-fare rates for the round trip.
Special invitations have been sent to
many prominent. men, and many of
these, warm advocates of the plans
and purposes OF the levee association,
have advised the committee that they
will attend. Elaborate plans for the
entertainment of all delegates are now
being perfected These plans of en-
tertainment will include trips to sew
eral of the large sugar and cotton plan
tations, inspection of levees, etc.
