Atlanta, Ga. June 4, 1914. While
revivalists of many denominations
are working overtime in Atlanta to
Christianize a city which they say Is
so in name only, some Of them are
passemistic about results. Attention
is pointed to the fact that one At
laata chuch, Methodist house Of
worship on Boulevard, has been
converted into steam laundry;
that another church building not
far from Atlanta is being used as a
barn.
An evidence Of this same tenden-
cy Of falling off in going to Sunday
worship and seeking recreation on
the golf links, on picnics and in the
city parks, IS seen in the fact that
there are today at least four church
es in Atlanta wioh the foundations
laid and partially erected, which
have stood unfinished for years.

Jan. 27, 1914: 'I suffered over eight years with eczema. It started in one little place and kept spreading until it covered my hands.

KILLED UNDER UPSET MOTOR TRUCK
Benjamin Watreus of Niantc Instantly Killed Trading Ceve-Lumber Laden Truck Turned Completely Over Driver Charles Twss Suffers From Shock and Bruis- es-Truck Went Off Wall at Road Side.

About 11.28 Friday morning the auto truck belonging to E. K Beckwith or Mantle smashed through the guard fence on the westerly side of the road at the Trading Cove dam and landed below on the edge of the pond carry ing with it the two occupants, Charles Twiss the chauffeur, and Benjamin Watrous, a helper. whose life was lost.
 Machine Zigzaaeed Over the Road.
 The scene of the accident is at the foot of Trading Cove hill and there Is hill on the north which they were coming down and were trying to make the hill on the south by gaining more momentum, and in doing so it is thought that the driver lost control, as it was noticed by several residents that the car all of a sudden began to zigzag to the left and then with a sudden lurch headed for the fence. In dications show that it grazed the fence for several feet before pitching over the bank. The lGrching of the car was so great that it threw the driver out he landing several feet from the truck. Mrs. William Sanberg who lives directly across the pond saw the truck coming down the hill said the machine all of a sudden turned toward the other side of the road and then turned. directly facing the pond, and over the wall. Knowing that assist ance would surely be necessary. she rushed to the telephone and called for the ambulance. The noise of the crash was heard half a mile away, it is reported.
 Help from Halls Mill.
 Engineer John O'Brien of the Hall Brothers mill. having learned of the accident, immediately shut off the power in the mill and with a large number of the employees went to the scene and propped up the machine so that the body Of the dead man could be extricated. In the meantime Mrs. Minnie I-eete, Thomas Wilbur, Frank Botham and Joseph Sanberg were busily engaged in trying to remove the load in the car. Several witnesses say that Mrs. Leete showed remark able courage in her assistance and act uaIly helped to carry the dead man out from under the machine after the men had propped it up.

About fifteen feet of the fence was carried away and the place where the machine went over is about twenty feet from the gates of the dam The engine appeared to be in good condition but the steering rad and the front of the machine are badly dameged.
