DRUNK LAY IN
PATH OF DEATH.

on one rail and his head leaning out
across the other. as it rested on his
arm. AS far as could be learned, he
did not move until the car hit him.
One wheel passed over his chest, and
the other across his ankles
A short time before the accident hap
pened, Mrs. Frank Bough, whose hus-
band runs a saloon in the vicinity, saw
the man stretched across the track and
thought on the instant that he was a
holdup man and became frightened
She hurried home and told the first
man she met, G. E. Strobel, who just
started to investigate when the car
passed over his body. Mrs. Bough said
that at the time she never thought of
the car for moment.
Conductor Tells His story.
The story of the accident. as told by
Mtorman Law, is as follows:
Conductor c. V. Roberts Walter
Rujick and myself were in charge of
the car, and we were running at an
easy gait along Eleventh avenue, at
TAO o'clock. Just as we reached Madi-
son street I noticed the form of a man
lying on the track in front of US, at a
distance of not more than thirty feet.
Rujick who was running the car at
the time, saw him as soon as I did, and
while I shut off the power Rujick set
the brakes. I kne wthat the accident
the brakes. I knew that the accident
thought of was to yell at him.
Il saw at glance that there was
no chance of avoiding the accident and
the thought of running over the man
was sickening. We did everything in
our power to save him, but it was USE
less. Had the man been standing up
we surely would ftlve been able to see
him sooner Another thing that made
it difficult to distinguish objects in
front of the car at that place was
strong street light which glared in
front of US and made it difficult to see
the tracks
A Peculiar Coincidence.
"A peculiar coincidence in the affair
was that noticed the man standing on
the corner of Broadway and Eleventh
avenue about half hour before the car
hit him, and noted the fact to the stu
dent Rujick, that he was staggering
back and forth. That is the kind of
a man. I said, that you want to look
out for. They are liable to step in
front of car at any time and not know
that it is approaching In half hour
AFTER tndt time our car had Kllled that
very man."
Up until this morning but little could
| be learned of Popich, aside from the
| fact that he had been employed as a
laborer in the steel mills. and that he
had recently quit his job or had been
discharged. Those who saw him drink
ing at the bar say that he had at least
| twenty dollars in his possession, and
he was spending the money as fast as
he could drink up the liquor. The man
resides in a boarding shack at Eigh-
teenth and Madison streets. Popich has
wife and family living in the old
| country.

81 Always Garry a Pistol"
atlanta Constitution.)


There is many a tragedy encom-
passed in the remark which o. E,
Rutland who, in self-defense, shot
and killed H. p Cox, let fall the other
day:
Il always carry pistol.
Death turks in it, and widoWhood
and orphanhood. Back of it is, Of
ten, the shadow of the galloWs.
There is scarce a community in
Georgia in which it has not filled a
grave, and left behind a remorse that
time can never fade.
Why always carry a pistols"
The law says it is a crime, because
it paves the way for other deeds OF
lawless violence upon ones fellow
man.
There's scarce a man who violates
that law but makes the plea of self
defense, and juries must give the bene-
fit of doubt, not to the dead but to
the living.
And so it is, II always carry a
pistol" goes unwhipped of punish
ment, almost as often for the shot
that finds its victim as for the vicious
instinct that coyets the concealed
weapon.
We make no war upon Rutland.
The law has held him justified;
doubtless he was. He felt that if he
did not fire, a Ratchet would be buried
in his brain. And so, secure in i

ground. while the man with the hatch
ct rushed forward to his doom.
But somehow it is hard to escape
the conclusion that if he had not
always carried pistol not only he,
but Cox as well, would have been
alive today; that instead of standing
his ground, he would have found sure
means of escape, or that the crowd
there were a dozen or more eyewit-
nesses-would have interposed to
disarm the Infatuated assailant.
1t is the Il always carry pistol
that gives assurance to the man who
might find easy means of avoiding a
quarrel; it is that which keeps a con-
tinual chip upon his shoulder.
The peaceably inclined man finds
little difficulty in making safe escape;
it is always the pistol "toter" who
does the damage.
1t is the concealed weapon which
leaves it's trail of blood, yet, deputies
and courts are lenient with the man
whose gun happens to be without its
notch.
While they are and the limit of the
law goes unapplied to the walking
arsenal, lawlessness and crime viii
grow and flourish.
For sooner or later, whether in
passion, malice or defense, fancied OF
real, some victim must fall weltering
in his own blood before the inevitable
onslaught Of

A Good Time.
I've had a good time

I've had a good time.
Life came with rosy cheeks and
tender song
Across the morning fields to play
with me,
And, oh, how glad we were, and
romped along
And laughed and kissed each other
by the sea.
I've had a good time.
Love came and met me half way down
the road:
Love went away, but there remain
ed with me
A little dream to help me bear my
load,
A something more to watch for by
the sea.
I've had a good time.
Death came and took a rosebud from
my yard
But after that, I think there walked
with me,
To prove me how the thing was not
so hard,
An angel here of evenings by the
sea-
I've had a good time
A good, good time,
Nobody knows how good time
but me,
With nights and days of reve1 and of
rhyme,
And tears and love and longing by
the sea.

Wool Growing in Georgia
Savannah Morning News.l


There was time when the wool
clip Of Georgia amounted to some
thing, but the sheep industry seems to
be pretty nearly on its last legs in
this state. In the Morning News q
few days ago there was special
dispatch from Moultrie, Colquitt coun-
ty, telling how the farmers of that
section were selling out their sheep
for sportation to Tennessee, MeXi-
co and elsewhere, because it is no
longer profitable to engage in the
sheen and wool business IN Georgia
Only a few years back Eolquitt coun-
ty raised and marketed upward Of
$4,000 worth of wool PER year, and
Berrfen, AppIing, Coffee and other
South Georgia counties Gid as we'll or
better. Wool sales were held from
time to time; closely following the
clipping, and they always turned
loose a considerable lot OF ready
cash
The great reason for fhe virtual
ruin of the wool business in Georgia
is embraced in one word-dogs. It
has been found impossible to get
rid of the dogs. Ninetyznine out OF
every one hundred sheep-killing dogs
are absolutely worthless for any pur-
pose under the sun. They are too
mean to throw into compost heap,
lest their carcasses yitiate the other
ingredients of the manure pile. They
are consumers at home and abroad
Of about everything they can get their
fangs upon, and producers of nothing
except trouble and expense And yet
they are politically powerful The
Georgia Legislature has shown itself
to be afraid of them The members
of the Legislature talk lin favor of
sheep, and vote in favor Of dogs They
hold the worthless dog I'M high esteem
because there are more Owners Of
dogs than owners of sheep, and there
fore the dogs have the largest voting
strength behind them. Numerous bills
have been proposed to leash the dogs
and give the sheep CHANGE, but moth
ing of importance has ever come Of
them. A number of dog bills have
been passed-to muZzle Eae fees and
lap dogs fthe cities, and they have
been practically igncred-but the dogs
in the sheep sections have been left
to their own devices and virtually au-
thorized to feed on spring lamb and
fresh mutton according 20 the de-
mands of their appetites.
There are tens of thousands Of
acres of land in Georgia. unavailable
for other purposes that might be put
to good use as sheep ranges. But
there is no use trying to raise sheep,
which are VIGOROUSLY helpless crea-
lures, in a section where ravening
dogs are permitted freedom to do
their worst. The effect of this sort
Of thing is seen in Colquitt, Appling
and other counties, where the sheep
industry is going out Of existence
while the dogs are doubtless multiply
ing.

senses and make the country high
ways safer for all who use them for
business or pleasure.
There is no one who seeks to de-
prive the automobiIist of the right
reasonably to use his machine.
But that use in which is now all. too

regard of the rights of others, cannot
