The Albany Herald says that W..
II. Moore, a white man whose home
is in Macon, was struck and perhaps
fatally injured by an incoming pas
senger train of the Central of Geor-
gia railway Friday morning.
The accident occurred two miles
west of Albany. The Central train
was tearing along at the rate of fiji
ty miles an hour when Engineer w
ID. Sandwich noticed a man sitting
on the end of a eross-tie. The mans
head was bowed forward on his
hands.
Engineers pass scores of persons
on every trip who are found sitting
on the ends of cross-ties, and when
Engineer Sandwich blew his whistle
he fully expected to see the figure
of the man ahead promptly rise
The signal was apparently unheed-
ed, however, nor was the slightest
attention paid to the succeeding
blasts from the whistle. The engine
was reversed and the emergency
brakes were applied, but the distance
was too short to make possible the
stoppage OF the train in time to avoid
striking the man on the track.
The forward portion of the engine
passed the unfortunate man, but the
heavy step attached to the far end
of the tender struck him about mid
way between the neck and hips. The
figure went flying through the air,
and lay motionless where it fell.
The train was stopped as quickly
as possible and backed to where the
body lay.
The first examination by physi-
clan showed that the mans injuries
were very serious. The left arm had
been crushed, and there were evil
dences of extensive internal injuries
Letters and other papers in the
mans pocket identified him as w
H. Moore. He regained conscious
ness after being taken from the
train, and was able to tell those
about him that his home was in Ma
con. He knew nothing of the acct
dent He whispered that he had
been on a spree, and his appearance
confirmed the statement.
Moore has been in the employ of

A Maine Corporation.

Maine has new corporation law
that seems to be about as liberal as

the New Jersey legislature. There
was chartered in Augusta the other
day corporation with 100000 cap
ital, with the privilege of increasing
it to $500, 100000, and authorized
to deal in about everything from tin
cans to battleships, and to establish
branches in all parts of the United
States. Just what the main business
of the company will be was not
stated in the press dispatches, but it's
blanket license gives it the right to
do pretty nearly anything it wants
to. Doubtless it will first go into
the business of selling its own
shares.

In all the various weaknesses,
displacements, prolapsus, infamma-
ton and facilitating, catarrhal
drains and in all cases of nervous
ness and debility, DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is the most eff
Gent remedy that can possibly be
used. 1t has to it's credit hundreds
of thousands of cures-more in fact
than any other remedy put up for
sale through druggists, especially for
woman's use. The ingredients OF
which "Favorite Prescription is
composed have received the most
positive endorsement from the lead
ing medical writer's on Materia Medi-
ca of all the several schools of prac-
tice. All the ingredients are printed
in plain English on the wrapper en-
closing the bottle, so that any wo-
man making use of this famous med
icine may know exactly what she is
taking. DR.. Pierce takes his pa
tients into his full confidence, which
he can afford to do. as the formula
after which the "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" is made will bear the most
careful examination.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are
the best and safest laxative for wo-
men.

A TURKISH MILLIONAIRE.
He Is Over Here Driving Some
Trades With Boston Yankees.

Trades With Boston Yankees
Mouammer Bey, son of the rich
est man in all Turkey, who will be
heir to more millions than any 9th
err person in the Ottoman empire,
save the heir of the Sultan, is in
Boston on business, and before he
leaves the business men will have
something like a cool half million of
his money, while he will have tons
of Boston's most improved shoe and
cotton machinery.
There is nothing about this sleek
appearing man of So years, with
his rotund figure, to indicate that he
is to be at some time in the future
the richest man in his native land.
He is just as democratic as any OF
this country's wealthy men, and one
wouldn't have to make very big
stretch of imagination to pick him
out as an American.
Mouammer Bey, unlike most of
his fellow countrymen, is highly ed
ucated, and instead of wasting his
fathers vast wealth by riotous liv-
ing he has mastered the many great
industries that his father controls,
and is adding to the fortune. Those
who have come in contact with him
say that he is as keen as the pro-
verbal business man.

EFFECT OF CHILD LABOR LAW
THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN WILL
QUIT WORK.
Law Has Just Become Operative
and Will Be Felt Through
out Georgia.

out
Child labor has been given
knockout blow by the legislation re-
Gently given by the Georgia general
assembly, and which has just gone
into effect.
Georgia has cotton mills and man
ufacturing establishments scattered
from one end of the state to the 9TH
er, and there are thousands cf peo-
pie affected by this legislation.
Agents of northern mills are watch
ing for it's effect, hoping it will IL
a measure, at least, overcome the ad-
vantage enjoyed by the southern
mills in securing labor so much
cheaper than the mills of the New
England states.
That schools may be built for the
thousands of new pupils, who Will be
furnished by the mills, the child la
Dor law, in it's main features apply
ing to children under IA years OF
age, will not go into effect until Jan.
l, 1908, though there is a provision
which must be complied with in
1907, as a prerequisite to the en-
ployment of such a child. Any child
seeking work in a factory after Jan.
/, 1908, must show that he or she
has attended school at least II weeks
during 1907, six weeks of which
must have been consecutive.
There are, however, other provts-
ions of the bill which go into effect
Immediately. No child under 10
wears of age shall be employed in
anv factory under any circumstances.
No child under II years of age shall
be employed in factory unless a
widowed mother or disabled father
is dependent upon the labor of the
child for support. If such extreme
conditions exist affidavits from the
ordinary of the county must be kept
on file in the mill office, certifying
| full particulars of each case.
Illiteracy among the cotton mill
operatives of the south is so COM
mon that it's absence is noticeable.
Scarcely any of the children in Geor-
gia have ever attended school, The
result is that today, throughout the
state. there are hundreds of grown
workmen who cannot read or write.
Under the provisions of the new law
thousands of children under IA years
of age will have to leave the mills
during the coming year for at least
~ weeks of school, that they may
gain admittance as an operative in
1908.
Columbus, with string of large
cotton mills extending three miles
along the Chattahoochee river, will
be one of the cities most affected by
the new legislation. Over 500 chill
dren will be forced out of the mills
there, and the result will be better
wages for mill labor.
Anticipating heavy influx OF FAC
tory operatives and their families to
take the places of the children who
are leaving the mills, small city
has been built just north of that city,
where wide streets and shaded lawns
surround hundreds of small cot
tages that are ready for occupancy.
In the center of the city is the new
Secondary Industrial School, which
opened Oct l, and will be devoted
entirely to teaching the children who
leave the cotton mills and others liv
ing in the city trades at which they
will be able to find employment in
the city.

All of Southwest Georgia Complains
Against the Central.

An Americas dispatch says the de-
plorable and exasperating service in
the operation of Central railway pas
senger trains will result in the filing
of sundry suits against the railway
company this week both in Sumter
and Lee counties. Failure to post
the arrival of delayed trains prop
erly and the alleged running of pas
senger trains at night without head
lights are among the grounds of
complaint. The service as regard
ing delayed trains every day is the
worst ever known.
