Family of As Poisoned
On Fourth OF July,

A dispatch from Augusta, Ga, on
"Wednesday says: 1t has just devel-
oped that forty-fve people, all mem
bere OF the Canady family, near Gar
field, Ga, were poisoned at q family
reunion at the home of Mac Canady,
on the Fourth of July. Indications
we're that poison was put in several
articles used in the dinner, since ev-
cry member Of the family at the table
was victim, and all Of them did not
eat Of any one particular kind OF
food. So
Last Saturday, Tillman Canady, one
Of the brothers, died. Yesterday Mrs.
Faireloth, daughter of Mac Canady,
and one of her children, died. Thir-
teen members of his family are seri-
ously i'll at the home of Mac Canady.
Ben Canady is in critical condition,
and every member of his family is
sick.
Appeal has been made to the City
hospital in Augusta for assistance, the
appeal stating that twenty-five mem
bers of the Canady family are IN
critical condition. -Four trained nurs-
es, all the hospital could spare, were
rushed to Summerton, and will be ta-
ken through the country to the Cana
dy home.
A long distance telephone message
from Garfield tonight Says the total
number poisoned is forty-five, OF
whom the dead to date are: d. Till
man Canady, Henry Covena, of Wes-
lev, Ga; Mrs. Faircloth, a daughter of
Mac Canady. and her child. Seven
others can't locover. according to the
physicians statements. -
The poisoning resulted from mixing
a seasoning containing black pepper
and vinegar in a zinc tub and used on
barbecued meat.
The Canady family and connections
are well-to-do people of Emanuel coun-
ty.

Mystery Deeper.

Summertown, Ca, July 11.-Deeper
mystery than ever surrounds the poi
soning of 81 members of the Canady
family. Eleven doctors are engaged
in the case, and among them there is
wide divergence of opinion since it
awas found zinc tub was used in pre-
pairing the food. as result of which
they have asked permission to have
stomach analysis of one of the victims.
This. however, has not been given yet.
The county commissioners have ia
ken direction of the situation and will
probably order such an investigation
in few days.
