LEPER ROAMING AROUND.
Railroads Refuse to Let Him Ride on
the Trains.

Railroads Refuse to Let Him Ride on
the Trains.
George Rossett, the Syrian leper
whose movements have been watched
for the last few weeks, arrived in
Parkersbnrg, w. Va, Wednesday,
and his travels were brought suddenly
to halt when the Baltimore and
Ohio officials refused to allow him to
ride on that division of the road.
News of his arrival spread swiftly.
Thousands focked to the depot and
the police were detailed to watch Ros-
sett, who, when he found that he could
go no further, decided to make him
self comfortable on the grass in the
rear of the station. Late at night Re-
corder Leonard issued a warrant for
three men, charging them with bring
ing the leper there. Those arrested
are Baltimore and Ohio conductor E.
V. Owens, DR.. B. F. Bohn, of Mary
land, and D. W. Mohler, of the local
yard office.
All three men were arrested and put
up forfeit for their appearance. The
county board of health held meet
ing, but after celebrating for several
hours took no action, awaiting in
structions from the state board oil
health.

HORRIBLE TALE OF SUFFERING

lost Later in the day he was recap
tured and beaten. The next morning,
while at work in the swamp, one
of those with whom he had shared the
company stores slipped $50 to him,
which he said he had kept hidden in q
boot, but he begged Krill to take the
money and if possible to get out of the
country, so as to tell of the horrors of
the slave camp. That night when he
saw that the guards were asleep Krill
slipped through the lines and reached
city. He worked his way to Balti-
more, and from there walked to his
sisters home in this city.
Mrs. Bernard Sklut of 292 Cherry
street received the following letter
Yesterday from her son, dated NJ obile,
Ala:

should be caught with it he would be
killed as hog, as others have been

TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN
Child Labor Law, Recently Passed by
the Legislature, Becomes OPP
erative January |.

Interest is general all over Georgia
in the passage by the legislature of the
child labor bill, which becomes oper-
alive January l.
The measure as passed provides
that no child under 10 years of age
shall work in manufactures under
any circumstances. Children under II
may be allowed to be employed, pro-
vided they are the only support OF a
widowed mother or disabled father,
or an orphan. Then an affidavit to
this effect must accompany the appli-
cation presented by parent or guar
dian. No child under IA years of age
can be employed unless he or she can
write simple sentences and has had
three months schooling during the pre-
ceding year of employment. During
the employment of all children under
Ia years of age, they must attend
school three months each year (six
weeks time being consecutive until
the public school age limit has been
passed. Sworn statements must ac-
pany the applications of all children
under IA years of age as to their
schooling The bill further provides
that no child under IA shall be employ
ed between the hours of p. m. and
a. m. The bill virtually throws
around children under IA years old the
protection of the law.

Deal Jackson, a negro of Dougher-
ty county, is again the premier cotton
raiser, as he has again succeeded in
marketing Georgia's first bale. Last
season ne got his first bale on the
market by the 10th of July, but rains
caused the setback this year.
For several years past Deal jack
son has gone to Albany with the I'M

year was of good quality and brought
a good price.
Many of the white farmers of
Dougherty county have done their
best to get in ahead, but somehow the
knack still remains with Jackson.

Colorado is about to astonish the
world with a glass bridge. Across
the gorge of the wonderful Grand
Canon of the Arkansas river, near
Canon City, a suspension-bridge has
been built more than twenty-six hun
dred feet above the surface of the
river. Its floor is of plate glass, so
that tourists may look down into the
wonderful gorge, the deepest in the
Rockies. The floor of the bridge is
about mile and a half above sea-
level. An electric railway from Canon
City will carry travellers to the edge
of the gorge.

TO INDUCE IMMIGRATION.

Cuban Congress Appropriates Million
Dollars for That Purpose.
Cuba desires to increase its popu-
lation, and the Cuban congress has
made an appropriation of million
dollars to be used in transporting i'm
migrants from Europe. 1t is planned
to induce laborers from Norway,
Sweden and Denmark to settle in the
island, presumably by setting forth
the advantages of a tropical climate.
The Scandinavians in the United
States are most content in the north
west, when the cold winter reminds
them of home; but there is room for
them in the southeast as we'll, even if
they do not care to go to Cuba.
