Shops Are Lit Up
All Last Night

The first evidence of life at the rail-
road shops since its evacuation Sat-
urday week ago by the union men
and its occupation more recently by
strike breakers, was last night when
the electric power house started oper-
ating and every building in the shop
yards was lighted up. No move had
been made to operate any of the ma
chinery, according to best information
obtainable up to this Afternoon. The
walk out of the foremen Sunday is ex-

any work at the shops.

WOMEN TO USE POWDER
(By International News service.)

(By International News Service.)
LONDON, March 17.-No
special concessions for the appli-
cation of complexion aids are to
be granted to British women jur-
ors as in the case of a woman
jury in Iowa, when the Judge SOL
EMMY announced that time would
be given for the women to pow
der their faces during the sitting.
A law court official said that
such concessions were quite I'm
necessary.
"In the first place the women
chosen are not of the powder puff
and rouge stick type. When
flappers are chosen for juries it
will be time enough to think of
powder puff intervals.
'This would not be granted,
however. All these matters could
be seen to out of court. Besides,
the light in most courts is of the
kind that conceals shiny noses"

KILLED BY BOLT
Lightning Strikes T. E. Walker
AS He Stands Guard
HAIL IN ABBEVILLE
Windstorm Tears Roof Off Will
cox Countian's House

A terrific storm swept the
Southeast last night and late yes
sterday afternoon took toll of
one life in Ben Hill county and
thousands of dollars in crop dam
age throughout it's course.
The storm was marked here by
a tremendous electric display and
the only life reported lost up to
this afternoon was T. E. Walker,
a convict at the Ben Hill county
convict camp who was instantly
killed by lightning at Sis o'clock
while standing guard at the Ben
Hill convict camp, just out of the
city limits on the Dixie Highway.
Walker, who was committed to
the gang for hog stealing was a
trusty.
The body of the dead man will
be sent today to his home in
Montgomery Co. where is sur
vived by daughter in Uvalda and
brother in Vidalia. He was an
exemplary convict and his death
was not only a blow to his fellow
prisoners but the guards and war
'den who had grown close to him
during his Imprisonment.
The storm swept through all
South Georgia. In Abbeville ire
4 mendous hail stones fell, the
'eatest in the lifetime of the old
est inhabitant. Oscar Cannon, a
farmer and prominent citizen of
Abbeville measured one of the lar
ger stones that fell on his place.
1t was five and one-half inches in
length.
The force of the wind that &C
companied the storm in Abbeville
was so great that it tore the roof
off the home of Jim Walker, a
farmer located between Rochelle
and Abbeville in Wilcox county.
In places the giant hai1stones drift
ted fifteen inches and more deep
against fences.
Crop damage was not estimated
this afternoon but it is known to
have been large. Many beds of
tobacco, not yet transplanted,
were saved from the fury of the
hail storm by their protecting COW
er. Very little of the crop damage
is irreparable as most of the crops
in the section which suffered most
heavily can be replanted. Far

tied by the hail were busy today

BRANCH SEWERAGE
TO BE LAID ON B
STREET, SOUTHWEST

Preparations have been made by the
city engineer to lay branch of the
sewerage system along the Rock
Island right.of-way from street
extending east for couple of blocks,
II was announced this morning by
City Manager Kirk Dyer This will
relieve the situation complained of
on C street, southwest, near the
railroad tracks.
Residents of that vicinity recently
reported that the sewage overflowed
and ran down an open ditch causing
an unsanitary condition in that neigh
borhood
Investigation by the city engineer
showed that two of the houses built
about year ago on G street, just
north Of the railroad tracks, had
been connected by error to a dead
end sewerage pipe. and that this
pipe recently became filled and sub
scQuently overflowed.
The error lay with the faulty
connection of those two houses" Mr..
Dyer explained 1T was done during
the previous administration. We can
not say exactly how the thing came
about, and therefore can not blanc
anyone However. the thing TO do
now is to remedy the matter. We
are applying for permission from
the railroad company TO install a
branch along their right of way and
we expect that well get this permis-
sion in few days Our tile and
other material is all ready. We are
simply waiting for the word from
the railroad company Then Wen

hood in as short a time as it takes

The dead end sewerage branch
along c street was first installed
for the purpose Of extending it TO
the system in the lower part or the
city. according to the city engineer.
It was not intended for connection
with homes until the extension was
complete The, ones who authorized
the connection with the two houses
on street probably never realized
this fact. ne explained
