South Carolina Western railroad from
Florence to Posten to connect with

that the Bonsal road will be built

does not mean the final abandonment
of the plan tobuild through to Char

the few that he did make-that he

Mr.. E. NJ. Long, a foreman for w.
Lee Harbin, the contractor, and his
wife and three children were poisoned
Sunday night by drinking buttermilk
AS result o. the poisoning all of
the members of ,ne family were
deathly sick between nine O'Clock and
midnight, Mrs. Long being in an ex-
tremely critical condition for a
couple of hours.
The milk was secured from q neigh
Dor, who had just churned it. All in
the family drank some of the milk,
Mr.. Long did not drink much and
consequently was not as sick as some
OF the others. The doctor was called
in about 10 o'clock and stayed with
the family until nearly midnight be-
fore the sick were out of danger
and he could leave. This morning all
of those who had been affected by the
ptomaine poison except Mrs Long
were better. Mrs. Long was still very
weak and remained in bed.
1t is learned that other persons
have been made sick by milk from
the same cow at various times and.
Mr.. Rose, the owner it is said, at
tributes this 10 the fact that the cow
ate mushrooms. 1t is also stated that
COW sucks herself, which may be sup
posed to have something to do with
the poisoning of the milk.

Warning Against CareIessness Of
Pupils Driven Home-CIass-
mates Honor Mary Tribble.

Though the home is dark with sor-
row. and the death of the little girl
has left void that can never be
filled. the parents and friends of little
Mary Tribble, 7-year-old victim of
colored crayon, find a measure of
comfort to-day in the thought that
her fate has driven home with ter
rible earnestness a lesson that will
be of incalculable benefit to hundreds
OF other school children.
The death of the child is to be the
price of increased vigilance by the
teachers of scores of Atlanta schools
in watching over their young charges,
and greater care by the pupils.
Many of the teachers of the Atlanta
schools have already begun to formu-
late plans and rules that will mini
mize the danger to the children in
handling colored chalk, and other OBJ
jects likely to contain poison
The funeral of the little girl Friday
was one of the saddest ever held in
East Atlanta A company of Mary's
little friends members Of her school
and Sunday school classes. gathered
at the East Side Baptist Tabernacle
to pay a last tribute of love.
They brought great bunckes of wild
flowers, plucked with their own hands
IN the nearby woods where Mary had
romped with them. and placed them
on her coffin. AS the funeral process
sion entered the church, the little
boys and girls lined up on either side
of the door, and the body of the
little girl was carried slowly between
the lines of those she loved and who
loved her.
