WESTON MAN LOSES
HAND UNDER TRAIN
Lige Thompson Unable to Give Amy
Account of How or Why the
Accident Happened.

In some mysterious manner, in
which he is unable to give any ac-
count, Mr.. Lige Thompson, a citizen
of Webster county, residing near
Weston, lost one of his hands We'd
nesday morning under freight train,
which was switching at Weston. No
eye witnesses saw the accident, and
Mr.. Thompson stated that he did not
remember just how the accident hap
pened. The train was not ready to
leave, and the crew stated that it was
not through any fault of the railroad
company that Mr.. Thompson received
his injury. Some of those near at
hand when the accident occurred
seemed to believe that Mr.. Thompson
was reaching under the cars for some
purpose, possibly placing pin, nail
or some other little thing on the track
to have it mashed fiat and in this
manner got his hand caught before
he was able to withdraw it. Physi-
clans amputated the hand immedi-
ately after the accident, and latest
reports stated that Mr.. Thompson
was doing -Richland News.

time, upon the calling of an issue,
congress may authorize the use
of the security representing the lost
money for some other purpose. In
any event the silver and gold are
preserved for whatever they are
worth.
The amounts thus lost from cir
culation cannot be estimated. One
may venture an estimate of the
amount lost on the Titanic, the Lusi-
tania and many merchantmen, but
not very accurately. No one can
guess the amounts hidden by the mis-
erly, by burglars, train robbers or
other criminals, nor the various sums
merely lost or mislaid.
Annually fortunes are lost by
burning money hidden in stovepipes
or equally ridiculous places. Melted
gold and silver coins passing through
fire, if found, are worth their bull
lion value. Bills, if they can be iden-
tified-and the treasury experts can
work wonders-are redeemable at
their face value; and even if they
have passed into worthless ash the
security on which they were issued
may be worth something some day.
Mr.. Burke, United States treasur-
err, wishes it were generally under
stood that when money is once prop
erly placed in the treasury can be
taken out only by act of congress.
Every warrant drawn upon the treas
urer must have legislative sanction
behind it. If this had been known to
some of the correspondents they
would not have made the requests
which they did.
One requested him to send her
sample of 500, 5000 (there are
money and $500 bills. She wanted
to buy some more, she wrote, but
wanted to examine them before pur-
chasing.
A few years ago a considerable
sum was received to the credit of
conscience fund.-" and all the news
papers published the story. Very
soon the treasurer received a request
from ar Jther section of the country
to return that money; it was a sum
sent for redemption. Secret service
men reported that the second writer
was attempting fraud, but if the
transaction had been as he said he
could not have recovered the money
without the help of congress.

SHOWING FARM
MOVIES IN GEORGIA
Convey Messages of Improved Agri-
culture in State. Auto Truck
Carries the Apparatus.

A moving picture outfJ is now De'
ing used by the Extension Division OF
the Georgia State College of Agri-
culture to convey messages OF i'm
proved agriculture to rural Georgia.
An auto truck carrying the apparatus
is utilized for producing the power
that operates a dynamo which, in turn,
provides the light for the moving pic
ture machine. The power is suff-
GENTLY strong to make as good a
light as can be found in any moving
picture theater.
This enables the College to go out
into the country and show pictures in
school houses, and reach many peo-
pie who never yet have seen a moving
picture. No difficulty is met in getting
crowds, and, of course, splendid OPP
portunity is afforded for bringing to
bear a message, which doubtless, would
not be obtained in any other way
upon a whole neighborhood at one
time and IN one place.
Exhibitions are given both day and
night, thus giving opportunity Of
reaching two neighbOrhOods a day.
Arrangements are made in advance
with the county superintendent of
schools, who designates the schools
where the exhibition is to be made
and assists in making proper an
nouncements. Where a county dem
onstration agent is located he will also
have a part in local arrangements.
The moving picture outfit began OPP
Grating in south Georgia and Will
move gradually northward. OF course,
it will be impossible to go into every
school house in the state or even
reach every county in the state soon.
