FOOLHARDY DRIVER
KILLS YOUNG GIRL
A letter written by Judge Henry C.
Hammond to the August Chronicle
concerning the recent death of a young
lady may serve as a timely warning
to young men who are speed demons,
and may cause them, at least to put on
the brakes and throttle when they
have precious lives in their keeping.
The letter of Judge Hammond follows:
Editor Chronicle: .
Joshua Cartledge, a farmer, made
the following statement in the presence
of a group of which I chanced to
be a member:
'*T wm r*rnd.n? on the piazza of th*;
store in the forks of the Savannah
road about 100 feet from the long
narrow bridge over Spirit creek. Two
minutes before it got to me I could
hear the roar of an automobile coming.
I walked to the end of the piazza
and saw the big car coming at an awful
rate?60 or 70 miles an hour. No
checking, no slowing down for the
bridge at all. I knew I cbuldn't take
the curve and make the bridge at that
speed. I was just naturally impossible.
The driver swerved the car to
the left, then sharp to the right to
enter the bridge. But he never reached
the bridge. The hind end of the car
skidded to the left?the car turned
over?rolled over three times and stopped
upside down in the run of the
creek, smashed with the wheels in the
air and the engine torn from the car.
I ran to the place and saw a young girl
drag herself out of Jhe creek stagger

a few steps up the bank. I was look>
ing right at her and she at me. She
wavered and said, 'Oh, Lord,' and sank
down on the ground. One of the men
1 laid her on the piazza floor and I got
water and bathed her face. There was
an awful wound in her temple. I saw
? she was dying. She did die right
1 there on the piazza in a few minutes.
I heard one of the men in the car say:
'God knows why he didn't kill us all
' before we left town.'"
Here is a simple statement of fact
made by a direct eye witness to the
! woeful, heart-crushing tragedy. There
is no intelligent mind in this commu1
nity not held by thought of this terrible
occurence?no sympathetic soul
not filled with sorrow. And there be
those who are drinking deep at the
fountain of grill and tasting the bit1
ter waters that lie at its source.
The splendidly constructed 70 horsepower
Templar car suddenly lost its
center of gravity; turned turtle and
with deafening clamor hurled into the
' silent waters of Spirit creek?then the
scene on the porch of the country
store. Are our hearts so filled with
pity, our minds so stunned by horror
as to see in this occurrence only the
play of the blind forces of nature ? Do
we see back of it no human responsibility.
Stop, think! Was this an accident,
pure and simple, unavoidable;
with blame coming to no one? It was
not Was there aught the matter
with car or roadway?. No! The car
was perfect and over that road thou
sands pass daily in safety. But what
of the human will that directed the
course and speed of the car? What of
the man who sat at the wheel and in
whose keeping was the life o fthat
young girl I^et generous sould pour
out upon him all the pity and forgiveness
they can?let just ones condemn
him as he deserves. Judge him as he
took his seat at the wheel of his Templar
this summer morning with full
knowledge of the deadly agency under
his control and with reckless dirregard
of the precious life alone in his care.
Judge him as he wilfully, wantonly,
wickedly hurled that machine through
the streets of this city a menace to
.all who passed. Judge him at each
milepost on the Savannah road as he
fiendishly^ rushed that child to her
death. Hear the roar of the tortured
car, see the demon man at the wheel,
and then?the still waters of Spirit
creek?the fair form and lovely face
all torn and marred on the floor of the
country store.

VISITORS TO DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION
San Francisco, June 19?(By the
Associated Press.)?Visitors to the
Democratic national convention will
see but few reminders of the old, romantic
days of San Francisco, when
the red-ahirted miners swept down
from the gold-streaked reaches of
the Sierras and threw fistfuls of
"pay dirt" on the bars or the store
counters for whatever they wished
to purchase.
Gone is the roaring "Barbary
Coast" and its less picturesque environments.
"Bottle" Koenig and
"Bottled" Meyers' who used to run
noisy cockfighting establishments in
what is now the shadow of the hall
of justice have long since passed on
and the "Montana Dance Hall,"

coasts resorts 13 hardly a memory.
Chinatown guides still point out
the little restaurant hanging precariously
over old Dupont street
where Frank Norris, the author,
went occasionally to get a bit of
local color. Directly ahead and facing
the hall of justice is Portmouth
Square, a cove for the city's human '
drift where the Vigilantes staged
many a stirring scene and the "sandlotters"
under the leadership of
fiery Dennis Kearney, discussed the
town's political issues.
Most of the old cafes, where
much of the city's history was
plotted, remain in name only. Gone
is Duncan Nichol's, the "Bank Exchange"
of former days where the

Suffering Described At Torture
Relieved by Black-Draught
Rossville, Ga.?Mrs. Kate Lee Able, ol
(his place, writes: "My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he injured
himself with a piece of heavy machinery,
across the abdomen. He was
so sore he could not bear to press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed 165 lbs., and fell off until he
weighed 110 lbs., in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would tdrn up
a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
it two or three days in succession, .He
did this yet without result We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swollen
terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.
1 sent and bought Thedford's BlackDraught.
I made him take a big dose,
and when it began to act he fainted, he
was in such misery, but he got relief and
began to mend at once. He got wen,
and we both feel he owes his life to
Thedford's Black-Draught."

Cliff House, where presidents of the
United States and other renowned
itinerants used to enjoy the sea

ago.
On Waverly Place still may be
seen the quarters of the old Siberia
Club, stronghold of Yee Mee, "King
of Chinatown." Here, before the
police "axe parties" became a feature
of Chinatown the chance games
of "coon-can," "chucka-luck" and
"fan-tan," were played in the midst
of a maze of corridors, sliding panels
worked by secret springs and exotic
odors of opium and Chinese
dishes.
The black docks that lined the
"Front" from China Basin to the
Presido are gone and stately berths
for ocean liners have risen in their
place. The dingy bars that stood

drug-stupified, through trap-doors
and into waiting boats below as part j
of the great "shanghai" crame. all
have been swept away. "The "shanghai"

their midst standing the slowly disintegrating
ruins of the "Mission of i
Sorrows," known in the Spanish as (
the "Mission Dolores," built in 1776
by the Franciscans. It is the best ,
memento of the romantic old San
Francisco that endures.

KOHLRABI?A NEW
garden crop
It Is Hardy to Frost, Thrives in Cold
Weather, and is Delicious When
Properly Cooked.
It is always interesting: to grow
a crop new to your garden. It gives
you a broaded knowledge and increases
the amount of fond you can grow.
Kohlrabi is one of the crops for you
to try.
Kohnlrabi is so little grown in home
arardens that most r>pnnl? fViinV i*
iiard to raise. But it may be grown
is easily as the turnip, and you know
that anyone can grow turnips. A few
tveek after the Kohlrabi plants come
up, the stems just above the ground
swell out to a diameter of 2 or 3
inches, making an edible ball that is
lelicous when pickled early and properly
cooked. After standing too
ong the balls become woody and.
worthless.
Kohlrabi is one of several edible
nembers of the cabbage group. Like
its relatives, it is hardy to frost and
thrives best in cool weather. While
it is sometimes started under glass in
the same way as early cabbage, the
crop is usually grown outdoors from
the tirst.
In August sow seed for a fall crop.
Store and surplus stems of this fall
crop in sand in the vegetabe cellar.
Buy a packet or an ounce of seed. 1
Prepare, rich, mellow soil throughly.
Apply a dressing of commercial fertilizer
and work it in. Line the rows
lfi inches apart. Make the drills an
inch deep. Sow the seeds sparsely
three or four to the inch. Weed as
needed. Hoe early and often, but do
not get the soil into the swoolen part j
pf the stem. Thin to G inches apart. j
Pull the planes and cut off the swoolen I
parts of the stem as they reach a dameter
of 2 inches.
Kohnlrabi is subject to attack by
many of the same enemies as the cabbage,
so it is well not to plant it in
soil where cabbages grew the year
sefore. As a rule there is very little
trouble from insect enemies.
HEALTH PRESERVED BY
WALKING ON ONE'S TOES
Paris, June 17.?Walking on one's
toes five minutes every day is the
mrest method of preserving one's
health, according to Dr. Gautiez,
member of the Academy of Science
md expert 0:1 tuberculosis.
Dr. Gautiez asserted today that

improved 14 per cent and a far better
distribution of the oxygen in the
system is assured.
Dr. Gauticz has submitted radio
photographs to the Academy of
Science in support of his theory
which are attracting wide attention.
The French government has announced
its intention of "freeing the
nation from the grip of foreign oil
companies."
When internal revenue officers began
to make use* of the aeroplane in
detecting illicit stills in the mountains
of West Virginia and eastern Kentucky,
the moonshiners matched their
enterprise by installing a spstem of
wireless to give warning to the appearance
of the revenue sleuths.
