SENSATIONAL SUIT
IN NEWTON COUNTY
fire STARTED
IN HEADPIECE
Fire Department Called Out to Extin-
guish Blaze Which Originated in
Young Woman's Hat.

ATLANTA, Ga, August 5-A fire
upon the roof garden of the hat Of
a pretty girl traveller at the Union
station this afternoon called out tive
fire companies, a hose cart. a score
of willing amateur firemen, DELAYED a
fast train and destroyed about. $50
worth of finery upon the peach basket
aforesaid.
The young woman, en- route to New
York, pushed into the station for bite
to eat. In paying her check she swung
the confection too close to the cigar
lighter. In an instant the orcharu
which adorned it was a mass of very
smelly flames. A dark-skinned waiter
turned in a fire alarm and every
available male guest tried to rescue
the affair thereby convincing th+
wearer, who knew naught of the con-
flagration, that she had Numbered into
an insane asylum.
The train was held a few minutes
until the victim recovered from al at
tack of near-by-hysterics, when she
graciously permitted it to proceed,
giving vent to a few personal opin-
ions of cigar lighters in general and
this one in particular.

SECOND VISIT OF
CHRIST TO earth
New York Woman Says the Messiah
Will Appear in Our Midst Again
at an Early Day.

NEW YORK, August 5.-Mrs. Anie
Besant, head of the Theosophical So
ciety and successor of Nine. Blavat
sky, who arrived in this country from
her home in India on Saturday, has
announced her belief that Christ will
soon make another personal visit on
earth. She says that the spirit of
Christ would manifest itself through
the specially fitted physical BODY
of some Western person, possibly a
woman, but more than likely a man.
During Mrs. Besant's first lecture
in this country, on this visit, she was
asked if Christ was in IN 22rnation
now.
"He is" she replied. HE is always
in some body. When He comes next
to be known He will, think choose
some new body. 1t may be that this
body will have been already trained
for some time by another. Christ will
inhabit it. Oh, yes, He may choose
woman's body and He will come soon.
There are signs that the SUPREME
Teacher will come to earth shortly.
Let us hope that He will be allowed
to stay among us longer than three
years. May be some of you think you
would not have crucified Him in the
old Judean days. Try to place your
self in that environment and you will
see that you most likely would have
been as those who did not want to xiii
Him then.
GLOW shall we know Him.? you
ask. Some of us who feel Him now
will know Him intuitively Others
who have not reached that level must
cultivate themselves. Never try to
justify yourself when accused of any
thing Make no defense. Bow your
head and let the accusations be made.
Be patient, be tolerant and do not ar.
que. And in time you will be able
70 feel His presence intuitively, may
be by the time He comes next again -

With the official canvass of the votes
cast in the city election Monday, no
material changes are shown, and no
results are altered. Ingledues plu-
|rality for mayor stands officially at la,
and McCarten remains high man in the
contest for councilman-at NC
Carten's vote is 1918, Hulls 1,109, and
Cummings 1,049. For time this
morning it was currently reported that
an error in the count had been discov-
cred in the Second ward, which gave
Cummings an additional 125. This was
true. but it was also true that the same
lot of ballots that had not been counted
when the figures were given out Mon
day night gave Hull IS, so that the
general result for councilman at-larye
remained unchanged, with Hull so to
the good over Cummings.
There was total of $3.50 votes cast
in the city, the largest vote ever re-
corded In any election. lngledue car
ried the same wards in which he was
strong in the 1905 election-the First
Fourth and Fifth-and the opposition
was not able to muster the strength
it had counted on in the Second and
Third Ingledue made gains in the
Second and Third over his vote of both
two and four years ago.

materially reduced over two years ago,
and w. J. Fort, for mayor, received

morning, receiving the congratul ations
of not only those who supported him,
but from his opponents in the CAM
paign just closed.
Came Close to Poll Of Votes.
There was a feeling of much satis-
faction among the mayors friends over
the ante-election predictions that had
the city. These figures had placed the
mayors total vote at 1900, whereas the
OFFICIAL figures show 1906
Mayor Ingledue attributes his sue
cess to the union labor vote that he
received almost solidly. He is conf
dent that he received 80 per cent of
this vote, which he estimates at a total
of 1850. He claims that this vote
would elect any candidate when solid
for him. The Ingledue men claim that
lit is unfair to charge the saloon influ-
ence as material factor in their CAM
paign, insisting that the real saloon
vote does not exceed 300.
