GAVE HIS BODY TO BENEFIT
PELLAGRA SUFFERERS
Strange Disease Is Battling Fulton
County Physicians.

Atlanta, Aug. 1S.-Because of the
frightful increase in the number of
cases of pellagra in Atlanta during the
past six mOnths-51 people have died
of it-and because the physicians find
no remedy, and because sufferers from
the disease are barred from all local
hospitals and institutions, John II.
Johnson, of % GaskilI street, who is
dying of the disease in his own pow
erty-stricken home, has volunteered 10
give his body, just as soon as the life
GIBBS out of it, to the local physicians
to dissect and experiment on in. the
hope that they may find something to
benefit other sufferers.
He knows he has but a short time 10
live and even goes to the extent of
offering himself alive for experimental
work if by so doing the doctors can
hope to learn anything.
He is not the only desperate sufferer
from pellagra in the city. The Associ-
ated Charieties does not know what 20
do. 1t has 20 cases now, and no place
to send them. There is but one insti-
tuition in Fulton county that will ac-
| cept a pellagra case under any Cir
Cumstances-the almshouse, and it
can take no more cases at present.

HOLDER BOOM LAUNCHED AT
CLOSE OF LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Name of the Speaker Brought to the
Fore at Dramatic Moment.

Atlanta, Aug. 1S.-A strong and rath-
er unexpected boom has been spectac-
uiarly launched in favor of the can
didacy Of John Holder, speakec of the
house, for governor.
Yesterday some of his friends in the
house nailed up a big banner behind
the speakers chair, calling on the rep
.resentatiyes to endorse and support
him for governor. Many OF them crowd
ed around him to assure him that they
would if he announced.
Mr.. Holder hasn't had anything defi-
nitely to say, but his friends are hop
ing he will give the matter serious
consideration.
The only other serious gubernatorial
talk in Atlanta today is in connection
with Faul Trammell, of Dalton. He
is in the city, and rumors persist that
he will positively be in the race. North
Georgians claim to know it as GER
tainty.

His eyes were red as if with weeping
his cheeks sunken and haggard; his
face colorless. No one who looked
upon him then, as he stood there IN
full view of the disastrous end, can
ever forget the intense agony written
upon his features. And yet he was

General Lee, mounted upon that horse
which we all remember so well, rode
to the front of his advancing battal-
ions. His presence was the signal for
one of those uncomfortable outbursts
of enthusiasm which none can appre-
ciate who have not witnessed them.
The fierce soldiers, with their faces
blackened with the smoke of battle,
the wounded crawling with feeble
limbs from the fury of the devouring
flames, all seemed possest with a COM
mon impulse. One long unbroken
cheer, in which the feeble cry of those
who lay helpless on the earth blended
with the strong voices of those who
still fought, rose high above the roar
of battle, and hailed the presence OF

AN AERIAL ROMANCE

So then dismal rain set in, The drops
came pelting through
The very roof above them till the
mortgage became dew;
They had no food about the place, the
tears coursed down their cheeks,
And though they searched the cup.
board they found nothing but
some leaks.
Their creditor they thought would lend
them aid without a doubt,
And since he took such interest he
tried to help them out
BY offoring the home for sale, and
since he feared to lose
He summoned in a cobbler then who
soled their very shoes.
So when the debt was all cast up they
both we're much cast down;
Such ills they were cast in and so cast
out upon the town;
Just then an airship circled near, with
many a swoop and dip,
And though this ship was in the air
their heir was in the ship;
He brought them riches quite untold
right soon he set before
Them both a butter tub than they had
ever seen Of yore.
And when he'd cut a pigeon-wing he
cut a ham with zest,
And laid them there a case of eggs
before he stopped to rest.
So what they did not eat that night
next day Tom Tetlow sold
TO buy them jewels and fine clothes
and load them down with gold.
And when he took them in his ship
and sailed aloft, then they
Moved in the highest circles, as I
hardly need to say.
Thus they were both enabled to look
down with naughty pride
Upon the petty people they could see
on every side.
"They are so far beneath u.s." I heard
Thomas Tetlow call,
Il think it would be better not to
speak to them at all"

Young Thomas Tetlow left his home
an action very wrong,
But it was quite impossible to take
his home along;
He left it in the early morn, the mort,
gage was all dew,
The sun was shining in the yeast and
that was how he knew;
He drew the stout oak bucket up,
whence tinkling water fell,
And quaffed a draught from its damp
rim, for this was a fair well.
The earth was parched, the road was
dry, but travel them he must,
And chose the dryest spots to walk,
that he might raise some dust.
When Thomas fellows parents walked
twas sometime after dawn,
And though the sun was barely up
they found the son had gone;
They searched for him till late at
night, and when the twilights
haze
Found them in night, might we'll say
it found them in a daze.
Alas! Alas!" in grief they cried, and
both were hurt and sad,
But when they cried Alas, I'm sure
they should have cried a lad.
And when they went to bed that night
no comfort could they find,
So they put blankets over them and
had to be resigned.
The years passed by as years will do
and countless tears were shed;
IF Tom be not alive" they cried, "he
surely must be dead
And though they never left the land,
if any noise might be
At any door about the house they
often went to see.
Toms mother snuffed her camphor
salts full often in the night
Till she dropped them one time, alas,
and broke her spirits quite;
And Toms poor father could not find
the heart to do but grieve,
So oft at twilight to the church he
went to mourn at eve.
