BREAKS NECK SECOND TIME
Native Of Chester, Pa, Has an Expe-
rience That Few Men Are Like
ly to Duplicate.

Uriah Washburn, watchman of the
Keystone Type Foundry, is in the
Chester hospital with his life de-
SPARED of because James Wilson
slapped him on the back and broke
his neck. Once before Washburn had
his neck broken, but it was sutured
together with silver wire.
When Wilson slapped him on the
back Washburn fell to the ground
unconscious. At the hospital it was
found that he was paralyzed. An X
ray picture was taken and then it was
learned that his neck had been broken
at some previous time. Five years
ago he fell from an eight-story build
ing. The broken portions of the ver-
tebrae were brought together at the
German hospital in Baltimore, and his
neck held together by a slender cord
of silver.
The surgeons will operate on Wash
burn again in the hope of sewing his
neck onto his spine for the second
time.-Chester (Pa) Dispatch to the

And though bell fouudries are so
few in this country, We can lay claim
to the oldest association of bell ring

College Youths" The society was
established in 1887, two of the found
ers being Lord BreretUn and Sir Cliffe
Clifton, and derived its title from the
vanished city church of St Martin
Vintry, on College Hill, where the
youths used to practice, relates the

youths was dedicated Stedman's Tin

Three separate and distinct happen

The grand jury has been invited by
Judge Ben Hill, now of the superior

its relations to locker clubs.
The Evangelical Ministers associa-

for next Sunday afternoon when the
prohibitionists of Atlanta will be
called on to rise up in arms and wipe
out both the saloons and the locker
clubs.
The executive board of the Men and

cries.

AMERICAS FEELS GOOD EFFECTS

over the state" said W. C. Woodall, of
Columbus, who was in the city yes
tsrday gathering notes regarding the
industrial progress of Americas and
surrounding territory for The Indus
trial Index Americas, right in the
heart of one OF the best sections of the
entire state, is in position to feel the
beneficial effects of the present condi-
tons to a peculiar extent" he con-
tinued.
''The state as whole has raised a
normal cotton crop, and the yield is
particularly good through this section.
The price has been much better than
was expected. The general opinion
seems to be that about three-fourths 'f
the crop has been picked in the Amer
icus territory and the greater part OF u
has been sold. Debts have been paid
in wholesale manner, and there is a
Feeling of confidence in business and
farming circles and the firm belief
that the year just ahead will be one OF

Americas growing Importance in an
dustrial way is well illustrated by tha
premium list of the recent Georig;
State fair at Macon" continued NJ
Woodall. "The Southern Art Metal
company, of this city, took the blue
ribbon for the best display of metal
shingles, art metals, ceiling ard metal
roofing. The company had active COM
petition, and this shows what disinter-
ested outside people think of the
quality of Americus-made articles.
First premiums may have been
awarded to other Americas manufac-
turing industries; it just happened that
this one came to my attention.
1.-THE south as whole believes that
great business year awaits il and is
preparing for it," concluded Mr.. Wood
all. with the tariff and currency leg
islation out of the way and one of the
most profitable cotton crops ever
grown successfully marketed, and with
barns filled with the products of the
