agent of the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills, at Atlanta, Ga, formerly agent of the Danielson Cotton company. for the granting of premiums to operatives for high grade and consistent ser vice, has proved a great success and is the subject of very complimentary comment in Georgia textile papers. The first semi annual distribution of premiums took place this week, when more than $7,500 was passed out to operatives who have been extra faith full in doing their work. The aggre- gate of premiums for the present year is expected to reach a total of from S15,000 to $18.000 and approximately 40 per cent. of the employees of the mills will share in the awards. These tinuous service and extra efficient work and averages about $100 a year per family having an earning capacity of $5.00 a day. Agent JOhnStOne expects that the premium awards will con t1nue to increase up to the time when they will amount to $25,000 a year.
 That the interest of MT. JOhnStOne's S company in it's employees is being car ried on outside of the mills is indi- cated by the fact that a night school has been established at Wesley house and 150 boys and girls are registered for study during the winter months. The average attendance at the school is over 90 per cent. The mills also have a social and athletic club and q debating society and an organization that is already planning to make the children happy at Christmas time.
 Mir. JohnstOne left DanielsOn last November and his first year of work in Atlanta has made a decided success.

HAD A CLOSE CALL.
Motor Party Plunges Through Fence
 and Down an Embankment.

A party of five automobilists bound for North Windham had miraculous escape from serious injury and per hapS death about 9.30 Wednesday night when their car a new one, left the road just across Horseshoe bridge, plunged through a fence down a 10- foot embankment, through another fence, a brook, and some shrubbery, and finally came to a standstilI right side up some feet beyond. The dam age to the car was slight, consisting of a broken light and bent mudguards. 4 wire from the fence was entangled in one of the rear wheels and couple of heavy poles were dragged along with the machine unnoticed for 100 feet or so when the car was started again. After a delay of not over three quarters of an hour. the car was taken oh it's way under its own power. The number of the car was 10695 and the name corresponding to that number in the automobile register is George G. Grant of TaftYiIle. Little short of a miracle kept the occurrence from be- ing a terrible catastrophe in the view of another auto party which happened along at about that time.
