HELD BLAMELEss, OF COURSE.
Man Ran Over and Killed Girl and

investigations have absoIved the
interested parties from all blame in
two fatal accidents which occurred
in Atlanta this week. In the case of
h. L. Mauk, of Americas, a visiting
noble from Alec Temple, whose car
ran down and killed Miss Workman,
investigation has shown that Mauk
is free of all blame; that he was
driving slowly and carefully and the
accident was unavoidable.
In the case of w. H. Smith the
Calhoun, Ga, barber who was shot
to death a couple of hours after mid
night, in the home of j. J. Edwards,
Mr.. Edwards, who fired the shot, is
held blameless not only by the police
but by Smiths own relatives. Smith

Do YOU Want A GILA MONSTER ?
Express Company Has One in Atlanta
That Shriner Wouldn't Claim,
and Wants to Get Rid of Tt.

ATLANTA.-A local express COM
pany has gila monster on it's hands.
1t was sent as a joke all the way
from Arizona as a mascot for John
j. Sweeney, who is the sole repre-
sentative of the Phoenix, Ariz., tenn
pie, for the big convention. Mr..
Sweeney, who is acquainted with the
nature of gila monsters, thought the
joke had better be on the express
company than on him, so he refused
to receive the package.
A gila monster, it may be mention
ed, looks like the devil and is a cross
between a rattlesnake, tarantula and
scorpion, only it is more vicious and
deadly poisonous than all three of
those reptiles combined.
The express company has wired to
Arizona for permission to kill the
gfIa monster When the answer
comes they are going to hold a con-
sultation to decide whether it will
be safest to shoot the monster, boil
it in oil or bury it case and all.

Famous Old Volcano Mount Etna, Again Spreads DEATH
and Desoation in Several Villages of Eastern Sicily.

fire" of the Saracens, is a volcano in
the northeast of Sicily, near the
coast, and within short distance of
Catania.
History records about 80 eruptions
of this volcano, the earliest being in
the year 476 B. C. At the foot of
the cone of Mount Etna, 1862 feet
above the sea, is Casa Etna, or OBJ
servatory, affording accommodations
to tourists. Considerable snow rests
throughout the year on the summit
of the volcano, the slopes of which,
to a great altitude, are covered with
pine, chestnut. beech and oak.
Catania, on the east coast of Sicily,
81 miles northwest of Syracuse, is
the capital of the province of the
same name and attractively situated
at the foot of Mount Etna in a pro-
ductive district. 1t is a handsomely
located city, rather majestic in its
appearance, and has wide streets paw
ed with lava. The ancient town, Ca
tania, was founded in 1923 B. c., by
colonists from Nalos, Greece.
Many of the buildings are con-
structed of lava, magnetism limestone
and marble being used to add to their
attractiveness. The cathedray, part of
which dates from the Norman times,
and the Church of San Carcera are
among it's most interesting buildings.
The Belini gardens are among the
attractions of the town.
There are very few cities or towns
in the world which have suffered so
extensively from earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions. In 1893 it was
almost entirely destroyed and it has
repeatedly suffered since. The pop
ulation in 1901 was 149,694. The
present town, the most populous in
Sicily, has been erected since the
earthquake of 1893.

MADE FAMILY WEALTHY
A REMARKABLE STORY is TOLD
OF AN ALABAMA MAN.
After Twenty-One Years w. L. Black
mon Comes Unexpectedly, Leaves
Family Riches and Departs.

A Birmingham, Ala, dispatch 20
the New York Sun says: Returning
unannounced and unknown as a for
lorn wanderer after twehty-one years
of absence in remote parts of Brazil
from his wife and children, whom he
left in 1898 and from whom he had
never since heard, w. T. Blackmon
hunted up his wife, sons and daugh-
tiers in Calhoun county, this state,
found them all in pinched financial
circumstances, provided handsomely
for the entire family for the rest OF
their lives and returned as suddenly
to his coffee plantations in Brazil
after brief interview with his wife,
who parted with him as coldly
courteous friend.
Blackmon's departure, wanderlngs
and astonishing financial success in a
foreign land read like romance.
Twenty-one years ago he disappear
ed, leaving his wife and four chill
dren in reduced circumstances. In
all the interim no word was received
from him, and they knew not wheth-
er he was dead or alive. The story
leaked out through deposits made by
his family in a local bank.
The four children grew up and
drifted out into the world. One
daughter married. Another held a
place as a cashier in small town
store. One son, Forney Blackmon,
took to rowing like his father. No
one knows where he is. A fortune
awaits him when he is found. The
youngest son went to farm work and
modestly supported his mother. He
is a tenant on a farm near the old
home town.
A few days ago a stranger drove
up where the young man was plough
ing, and after a few questions threw
his arms around the youths neck,

as the long lost father, who had left
Alabama with $40 and drifted until
he landed in Brazil. There he went
to work on a coffee plantation at so
cents day. He was steadily advanc-

the owner, an Englishman, took him
as a partner. The plantation pros

ATLANTA.-The need of the state
of Georgia for vital statistics is en-
phasized by Editor Jonathan B. Frost

issue of "The Call of the South"
"Our state departments are handi-
capped and thwarted by the failure
of the legislature to give them the
necessary appropriations for this
purpose, says Mr.. Frost. Georgia
can no longer remain ignorant of
herself, and have to rely entirely on
United States government reports for
all her information about her own
affairs. We say we want immigra-
ton, manufactures, new enterprises;
how many of us really know positive
1y how many bushels IF corn or oats,
tons of hay, pounds of bacon, cases
of canned goods are shipped either
in or out of the state in a given
period? How many of our farmers
really know just where they stand
at the end of each year in relation
to the business of the state?

not know-the world does not know,
but the time has come for a radical
change in this great matter Of sta
tistics for the state of Georgia"

The series of slight shocks had
forewarned the people, otherwise the
recent earthquake which spread
death and desolation along the base
of famous old Mount Etna on the east
coast of Sicily might have been just
as disastrous as the one that de-
stroyed Messina, in 1908, with loss
yariously estimated at 1922 (offi-
cial figures) to 10000 lives and a
billion dollars in property damage.
1t is bad enough, at best Although
many of the alarmed villagers had
fled to safety between one and two
hundred of them were crushed to
death beneath the falling walls Of
their homes and many more were in
iured. Little remains of the several
villages in the territory affected ex-
cept crumbling walls, and it is feared
that many more of the residents lie
buried under the rubbish.
Besides the loss of life and the
damage caused by the demolition OF
homes and business places railroad
tracks are torn up, churches RACED to
the ground and telegraph poles
thrown down in all directions. Along
the roads between villages the scenes
of desolation are terrible. Every few
minutes a group of persons might
have been seen at first with filters
improvised from branches of trees
and bushes carrying their dead and
injured, while at many wayside
shrines crowds gathered about the
priests praying to the Virgin for the
protection of the people from further
disaster.
Terrible stories are told of the
calamity. Fire broke out after the
earthquake and many of the victims
were persons who had been buried
alive in the ruins. Crevasses opened
suddenly in the earth and the ap-
pearance of the landscape was great
" changed in many places,

and historic old city of the coast

homeless was begun in a systematic
manner. The authorities, under the

Two fire horses that wanted to see

The horses were also extricated

near them. It was painted bright
red like the fire engines, and they
welcomed it by climbing all over it.
