According to two spirit mediums in
Atlanta they claim that they have had
communication with Miss Sophie Klo-
ecker, and she tells one that she was
murdered by her lover. and she tells
the other that she committed suicide.
The question is does disembodied
spirits engage in telling lies in the other
world, or are the liars the two Atlanta
spiritualists? We are inclined to be-
heve the latter are the liars.

TERRIBLE HOLOCAUST.

On last Wednesday the steamer Gen.
eral Slocum left the pier az New York,
carrying 1000 Sunday School people,
who we're to spend the day at picnic.
The steamer caught fire and l 900 lives
were lost; injured, and in hospital 300;
saved 200; unaccounted for AIS.
The steamer was inspected on May
9Th, and believed to be seaworthy
The fire started in the lunch room
while the steamer was off 135th street,
in the waters of He'll Gate. At i38th
street passengers, driven by heat and
with their clothing in flames, began
jumping overheard. A moment later
the hurricane deck, crowded with
panic-stricken men, women and child
rem, collapsed and hundreds we're dash
ed into the seething flames below
The steamer was turned into shore
and beached, but the fire in the hold
burned for hours, the smell of burning
flesh driving rescuers from their work.
Many heroic deeds were performed
and thrilling rescues were made under
frightful odds.
Scenes on shore were beyond descrip-
ton, children calling in vain for their
mothers, and women driven insane at
the loss of their children, who were
burned to death before their very eyes,
The tragedy, it is believed, is more
horrible and caused greater life loss
than the Iroquois theatre horror in
Chicago.

NEW CHURCH ORGANIZED.

For year or two the Marietta Bap-
fist Church has maintained mission
Sunday School and preaching services
at Rose Lane Chapel, near the Knitting
Mill, in North Marietta. Under the
management of Rev. J. J. Crow, the
mission has developed gratifying
strength, and it was thought best to
organize into an independent church.
Sunday afternoon a meeting was held
for that purpose. A presbytery con-
sisting of Revs. G. E. w. Dobbs and
D. J. Maddox, and J. A. Davis, of At
lanta, had been invited to consider the
question. After the usual prelimi-
naries in such cases, according to the
usage of denomination, the presbytery
voted to constitute and recognize the
body as an independent Baptist Church.
Seventy-three persons entered into the
organization, sixty three of them being
dismissed by the mother church for
that purpose.
The new church elected Rev. J. J,
Grow as pastor and Mr.. Edible Lance as
clerk, and the new body starts out with
the cordial sympathy and with the
promise of the hearty cooperation of
the mother church.
Mr.. M. r. Lyon has been elected
Superintendent of Rose Lane Sunday
School

Correspondent Tells Story Of Cat Who
Made friends with Rodent
Gives Dog the slip

There we're lot OF rats In the storage
room OF my stable. and We had great
dificulty In getting at then, says a
johannesburg correspondent OF the
Field. They were shy Of all traps, and
did tremendous lot Of damage At
aIght time, lying quiet all day. Al
length | put in the room square tin
lined box, about two feet deep, and in
II placed some burned cheese. The
rats Immediately got interested In the
cheese. climbed up the outside OF the
box, and, having got inside. could NOT
ascend the slippery Tin lining In this
way we killed a great many. One morn
Ing my children took . cat. who was .
very good ratter. and placed Il In the
box. where there was already a good
sized rat. The cat, instead OF tackiing
the rat, appeared to make friends with
IL. They put their noses together and
frlsked round. but no harm was done
and eventually the cat jumped out, re-
fuslng TO tackle the rat. The children
then put in a keen dachshund, who im-
mediately snapped az the rat and missed
t. The rat ran around the box two
or three times, dodginE cleverly, and
eventually. by climbing on the dogs
back. adroitly Jumped out OF the boz
and escaped.

HE CANNING +.
FACTORY
liant to Cost In NeIghbOrhOOd
Of $1,000.

8 R. G. Mitchell, of the Hastings In
ustrIal Co, OF Chicago, is In the city
pr the purpose OF organizing a COM
any to put In a canning factory at
hls place.
The proposed factory will cost about
1900, building and all-equipments
included.
4 With the machinery used In this
plant, all fruit and vegetables, except
Acorn, can be canned. But on account
of the warm climate corn will not
keep, unless chemicals are used, which
Is against the laws OF most states.
Mr.. Mitchell thinks the canning OF
homegrown tomatoes would be the
~ proposition for the factory, as
bis Inquiries show that the soil here
produces an abundance Of tomatoes,
when properly taken care OF.
The capacity OF the plant Is TO be
1000 cans, or 500 cases per day, which
lat the current price on such goods
|Twill bring s7sO.O0 According to his
kstatcment tomatoes viii produce from
As5O to 800 per acre, which Is equal tt
4 cUtton with a great deal less work.
