GENERAL EVANS dies
AFTER LONG PERIOD or ILL
HEALTH MEMBER or PRISON
COMMISSION is AT REST.
DEATH NOT UNEXPECTED
Grave Fears Had Been Felt for Gen.
eraI Evans for Some Time
Past.

Atlanta. Gen. Clement A. Evans,
iormer commander of the United Con
federate Veterans, and member of the
prison commission Of Georgia, died at
four-forty o'clock Sunday afternoon at
his residence, 1877 Capitol avenue, in
this city.
His end was a quiet and peaceful
one, with the members of his family
present at the bedside.
Although his condition had been des-
perate for some time, his passing
comes as shock to hundreds, for his
brave fight for life had aroused high
hopes Of a possible recovery.
General Evans had been in poor
health for several years, resulting
from a severe attack of, the grip in
1909. Much of the time, since that
sickness he had been unable to leave
his home.
Some two weeks ago, he was at
tackled by rheumatism, and since that
time his condition had been critical.
For many nights his physicians did
not expect him to live until next morn
ing, but his wonderful reserve strength
came to his aid, and he passed the
crisis. Several days ago slight i'm
provement in his condition was noted,
and for a while it gave hope that he
might recover.
Sunday morning, however, it was
seen that the end was only mat
ter of hours. He passed away at four
forty o'clock

deal of tie filth she had accumulated
in vile stable had been rubbed of
and washed on by the rains, but
enough remains to show that her milk
would carry poison to hundreds of
gallons when added to that Of other
