We had a little waif brought into
school this week,-the seven year
old daughter of one of the English
men who has gone home to stay and
married, leaving q native wife and
four little children out here. So
they have put the oldest child in
school here. She is used to eating
foreign food with her father, but
we think it best to accustom her to
the native food as soon as possible,
as she will probably live here all her
life, and will not have the money to
CRAFTY higher tastes. She is a
pretty, pathetic looking little girl
as fragile as an egg-shell. She
wears foreign clothes. She is seven,
and is not as tail. nor as large in any
way as Mary Palmer, not yet four.
Her mother wanted her to study
o ly English. but | insisted on her
studying Slsmese, too. as she will
probably have to make her way in
the world.

]. HAM Ii WIS IS
SENT To SENATE
FROM ILLINOIS
Former Georgian of Pink WhiS-
ker Fame Chosen After
Long Deadlock.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL, March 26.-
James Hamilton Lewis was elected to
the United States senate for the long
term on joint ballot by the Illinois leg
islature this afternoon.
Lawrence Y. Sherman, Republican
primary chairman, was later chosen for
the short term.
Mr.. Lewis succeeds to the seat for
merly held by Senator Shelby NJ. Gull
lom. and was elected after deadlock
which has lasted since the first of the
year, and after more than 100 ballots
had been taken.
Sherman was elected to fill the
unexpired term of former Senator
William Lorimer, whose seat was de-
clared vacant by the United States sem
ate because he had been elected by
fraudulent votes
The break of the deadlock came on a
combination between the Democrats
and Republicans against the progress

Formerly a Georgian.

Colonel James Hamilton Lewis, SEN
ator-elect from Illinois, is former
Georgian, pleasantly remembered by
scores of acquaintances and friends
particularly in Savannah and Augusta
where for several years he practiced
law.
After leaving Georgia, Colonel Lewis
went West, and lived in the state of
Washington for something like fifteen
years. While a resident of that state
he was sent to the national congress as
a representative, and served two terms
with credit and distinction. For the
past ten years, he has made his home
in Illinois.
While by no means discounting his
brilliancy and genuine qualities Of
craftsmanship, Colonel Lewis has been
for many years the object of much good
natured banter from various newspa-
pers throughout the land, chiefly be-
cause of the gorgeousness of his whis-
kers. which incline to a delicate pirk
color. He wears good clothes, changes
them often, and is aggressively pune
lilious in his everlasting politeness.

Epidemic of MumpS in
Atlanta;Eat Pickle to
See If You Have GotIt
Disease Never Had Such a Hold
Here Before, Says Prominent
Physician.

An epidemic Of mumps is now rag
ing in this city, according to Dr. W
A. Jackson, Tech surgeon and lo2al
physician.
DR.. Jackson said that the major
ity of the cases are among adults
and though there are very few serious
cases, the germ is abroad and doing
its work well.
The territory Of the epidemic seems
to be very wide, as there are cases in
every neighborhood from Highland
View and Decatur to the outskirts Of
East Point. Just how many cases there
are is not definitely known, but there
is about rs per cent increase as com
pared with this time last year accord
ing to the estimate of Dr. Jackson.
The whole thing is due to the SUI
den return of the dry weather and the
excessive amount of dust that is ue-
ing carried into every home laden with
the deadly germs. The best prevent
i've is to keep the streets in front
Of the residences well watered and
then the proba bility of the disease
spreading any further is small. | have
never seen as many cases at one time
since l have been practicing in At
lanta."
Dr. Jackson expressed the opinion
that with the coming of the April
showers, the number of cases would
decrease

WHEN WRECK
IS AVERTED
YardmaSter Stops Train With
Two Hundred Passengers
a Yard From Disaster.

Two hundred passengers from New
Orleans are recounting to-day the mar
row escape they had from bad rail-
road accident averted by one mans
presence Of mind.
When their train. the Atlanta and
West Point passenger, due in Atlanta
from New Orleans at 1920 o'clock last
night, was brought to such a sudden
stop at Oakland City that they were
thrown in confusion and terror from
their seats, only three feet separated
them from a freight wreck into which
they were saved from crashing by the
prompt action of Yard Conductor H. E
Jones.
While the crew of the freight train
which had been wrecked only a few
minutes before, were running about in
excitement, Jones was Mortified by the
thought Of the fast New. Orleans train,
heavily laden with passengers. when
was due a that time
AS he frantically grabbed a lantern
he heard the whistle and the rumble Of
tho speeding train. He had only time
to run few rods before the dazzling
headlight shot from around a curve
and shone full in his eyes.
He stood his ground in the center
of the tracks waving his lantern wildly
Although it was not the red lantern
usually used in tagging trains when
there is danger ahead, the engineer
recognized that something was the
matter. He closed the throttle and an
piled the air at the same instant. There
was grinding of brakes and a shower
Of sparks from the wheels as Jones
stepped from the tracks.
The train rushed past him. For a
moment it looked as though his warn
ing had been too late and the passen-
ger train would pile up on the wreck
age ahead of it. But when the engi-
neer stepped down from his cab to find
the meaning of the black mass of
wreckage ahead Of him and the twink
ling Of lanterns Of the train crew who
We're scurrying about in futile haste. he
saw how narrow was the margin that
had saved him and the passengers in
his care from death and injury.
Just three feet was the distance be-
tween the pilot Of his engine and the
freight train which had been stalled in
a peculiar wreck
A Central Of Georgia switch engine
pulled out Of Atlanta with a string of
60 cars bound for the East Point yards
about 10 o'clock. The train had reach
ed Oakland City when confusion of
signals led the engineer to throw on the
emergency brakes. They worked so
well and brought the train to such a
sudden stop that the seven rear cars
piled up on those ahead and covered
