Auto COllided
With Ice Truck

Atlanta, Georgia. Miss Harriet
Calhoun, a beautiful Atlanta socie.
ty girl, narrowly escaped death or
serious injury last night when a
heavy ice truck collided with her
light electric car and shattered it
to bits. 2,
BY an almost miraculousaccident
Miss Calhoun was unhurt, while
the negro chauffeur in the car was
thrown through the windshield
and painfully cut and bruised.
The negro driver of the ice truck
is blamed for the accident by
spectators and is being sought by
the police this morning.
The truck was so heavy that
thong b it.smashed the little car to
pieces it did not even stop but
tumbled on up Peachtree street
and out of sight. 1t was exactly
as if an immense ocean liner had
collided with a tiny pleasure yacht.

Mountain Missions.

Atlanta, Nov. 1o-The noble
work being done by noble minded
men and women to improve civic
conditions in the mountain districts
of this section of the country is
described and lauded in a leading
editorial of the current issue of
Frost's Magazine ''The Call of the
South"
Miss Lydia Holman, whose
work has been particularly in the
North Carolina Mountains, is
quoted in an interesting way:
There are lonely women and
neglected babies in these noun
tains. Our interest for the present
is principally in motherhood and
babyhood.
1T never occurs to us that we
are educating the foreigner who
does not know our language to be
a better citizen than we are educat-
ing our country boy, who if he is
given one third of a chance, will
return one hundred per cent value.
There is spirit and soul and mind
IN the mountains. If we do not
cultivate it in the American Rural
boy and girl l do not know where
weaare going 10 draw our material
for better citizenship FROM

Tearing a hole six feet wide and ten
feet high in the side of the house at
1928 Avenue @, Ensley, bolt of light
ming practically demolished the bed and
other furniture of room without seri-
ously injuring the three occupants of the
bedroom, yesterday morning during the
storm which passed over this section.
The residence is occupied by l.. M.
Lenderman and family, and in the room
demolished by the lightning stroke were
sleeping Mr.. and Mrs. Lenderman and
little girl about years old. The child
was not injured at all and the parents
only slightly so. The foot of the bed
was nearest the side of the house en-
tered by the lightning and the feet of
Mr. and Mrs Lenderman were slightly
burned.
The bolt seems to have exploded in
side the wall, for only plastering and
lathing was blown inside the room, While
the weatherboarding and the two-by-four
upright timbers were scattered across
the street outside. The bed was COW
cred with plastering and pieces of laths.
The frame of picture which hung upon
the wall was neatly placed around Mr.
Iendermans' neck. Two oil lamps placed
on table We're thrown against the OPP
posite wall and broken, splattering the
wall with oil
peculiar phase of the damage in
fioted exists in the way window lights
were broken. In each window In the
house are four panes of glass. In the
window nearest the gap made by the
lightning two panes were broken, one
at the top and the other at the bot
tom. On the other side three panes We're
broken In the adjoining room in the
rear one pane in each window was broken.
On the opposite side of the house no
panes were fractured in the Lenderman
residence, but several were broken in the
adjoining house.
Mr.. and Mrs I.enderman attribute their
escape to the fact that their bedstead
was of wood instead of iron construc-
fion.
The building is owned by p j. Rogers

college Degrees and Nor
NAL Diplomas as Basis
for Certification Of
Teachers" Theme

Montgomery, March 21.-(Special. RE-
suits OF examinations in the schools of
Alabama are mainly predetermined the
teachers preparing questions to suit their
own thinking rather than such as are
of particular interest to Individual stu
dents and then fix arbitrary values to
questions and guess at the value of the
answers, according to DIR. ]. B. Came
dean of the Florence Normal school, Flor
ence, who addressed the Alabama Edu-
cational association here Friday morn
ing ON STANDARD College Degrees and
Normal School Diplomas as Basis for
the Certifcation of Teachers"
The speaker declared that by modif-
cation of the present law requiring strict
examination of teachers befoEe they are
granted licenses, the graduate of the
state university. the Alabama Polytechnic
institute and the four A-grade normal
schools could receive life certificates on
completing the courses required by the
institutions and graduates of the other
standard colleges within the state and
elsewhere might be granted licenses at
the option OF the state department of
education.
by standard college is meant one well
equipped with four year course of
study based upon IA high school units;
by standard normal school is meant one
properly equipped for teachers training"
he declared with a two year college
course of study based on IA high school
units the state normal schools are not
yet standardized but doubtless would
willingly do so if this legislation should
be enacted.

NO ACTION YETON
T|DEWATER MATTER
To Thresh Out Details of
Application for Right of
Way Soon

Officials of the Tidewatsr and the COM
missioners agreed to take up and thresh
out within the next few days the details
under which the proposed city franchise
over 127 blocks will be granted.
The company officials are of the opinion
that it will cost $4,000 or. more to build
the proposed line, including the viaduct
on Eighteenth street and on Twenty-sev-
enth street which was promised and
which is necessary. The city will then ask
that $4,000 he paid for the blockage
rights. The Tidewater officials, however,
will object, it is understood, to the pro-
visions similar to the Kelley franchise
which is to be followed hereafter by the
commission according to statements made
by the city officials. The Tidewater Of
fieials cannot see, it is said, the necessity
for charging per cent of gross revenue
payable to the city for term of years.
1t is believed that the trade will hinge
upon that proposition
In the meantime the two interests will
attempt to get together on the PROPOSE
ton within the coming few days The
Tidewater officials in :he meantime are
deeply interested in the Tuscaloosa branch
of the proposed route.

ROAD SENTIMENT
GROWING IN Chiffon

Mountain Creek, March 21.-(Special)--
AS a result of the heavy rains and heavy
hauling the roads throughout Chiffon
county have washed to a considerable
extent This had the effect of causing a
number of farmers to declare in favor of
the bond issue for road Improvement in
Chiffon.
If the question of bond issue WAS put
TO the farmers and business men now II
would pass, but TO delay the vote, as it
seems to be insisted on by some, will
make The issue a. close one in this county.
]. w, Coxfa well known and prominent
man, has decided in favor of the bond
issue, and says in a printed letter that
he has lost 500 in stock valuation owing
to pulling his mules over bad roads. 9th
ers are equally emphatic in their adyo-
cacy of road Improvement.
