Just GRANDMOTHER AT THIRTY j Remarkable Record of Young Wo-! man of Atlanta. A grandmother of two children at the age of 2 and 3, at 30 years, is the record of Mrs. E. W. Bender, of Atlanta, Ga. It is claimed that Mrs. Bender is the youngest grandmother on record and her case! is one of the most remarkable out- J side the tropical countries. Mrs. Bender, who is 31 years old, was born in 1880 in South Carolina. She was married to E. W. Moore, at Columbia in 1892. She was only 13 years and three months old when her first child was oorn. ine cmw, a aaugnier, was married in 1909 to Edward Sinclair, and in January, 1910, gave birth, to twins the mother being barely 15 and the grandmother not yet 30. In January of this year Mrs. Bender's daughter gave birth to an- ] other child, the third o?f the j grandchildren. Mr. Moore died < when Mrs. Sinclair was an infant. Later his widow married E. W. Bender and that union has been blessed by several children. Physicians claim it is rare in this part of the world that a woman become a grandmother even in the early thirties. INSISTS HE'S NOT HER SON. Mother of Man Ijong Thought Dead ! Hard to Convince. .Niles, Mich., Sept. 20. ? Nlles'| strange controversy over the iden-, tity of George Kimmel, who repre-l seats himself to be a man long i supposed to be dead was further | complicated to-day. While dozens of persons positively identify him as the son for whose j supopeed death thirteen years ago I Mrs. Estella Kimmel received $5,-] 000 in life insurance, an equal num-| ber were equally positive that. It was not the son. Then Mrs. Kimmel, 70 years old, who had asserted that the man was an Importer to deprive her of the money she had already received and to prevent the payment of $25,000 more in insurance to other relatives, scrutinized the man who claims her as moth-j er. Brought face to face with the woman, "Kimmel," just released from a five year term in the Au-1 burn, N. Y., penitentiary, stretched forth his arms and said: "Mother, "don't you know your boy? Don't disown me any longer.', You know I am your son." Mrs. Kimmel, withdrawing from the man, as he attempted to embrace her, stood sternly scanning his face. "No," she said, "I don't see in you any positive resemblance to my son." The meeting took place at the home of Mrs. Harry L. Pox, who; had already accepted "Kimmel" as! a cousin ana positively luenuueu him as the son of Mrs. KLinmel. It j was made known that Mrs. Kimmel had no direct intereat in any money i ****** *<$ ^ My first Auc ll \X/E have a b " * auction t< *t* horse put up wi | brings.

"1 would have no selfish motive in 'dentifying the identity of my son, if he were alive," said Mrs. < Kimmel. "Pour years I have felt i sure he was dead, and 1 cannot be- I lieve that this man is he. It i seems that some motherly instinct i ought to tell me the truth, yet ( iirho.. I 1^/vl. ..4 u: T J a "ucu ? ivuft iiiiu i uu nui recognize him. He only puzzles me. It has almost prostrated me to look upon this stranger and have people insist that he is my son." , "Kimmel," on looking at the wo- | man, said he was positive she was ( his mother. ( "I wanted to take her in my , arms," he said, "for she looked , the same as years ago. I love her with all my heart, and cannot understand why she should, insist I am dead. Still I will not worry her and if she continues to disbelieve me I shall do as she wishes. 1 know I am Kimmel for I recognize every one." To test his acquaintance with Niles, "Kimmel" was escorted about the streets. He repeatedly pointed out landmarks and related former incidents which citizens said were correct. He called persons by their full names, but many of them profused not to recognize him as the real Kimmel. "Now to prove I am familiar with the town," said Kimmel, "1 will tell you that behind that hill there is a big red brick house, on the 1 south side of which is a large elm tree from which we used o swing < when boys." Every one declared the statement 1 was correct. Another conference was held be- ( tween Mrs. Kimmel and the man who claims to be her son late to- ( night, but failed to have any re- 1 suit. "Kimmel" called at the house of "relatives" and there was , closely questioned. Later Mrs. Kinunel, referring to the claimant ;ts "the man," said that although p h UQ pivon Hotn Ho f tha llfa af her son, she still was not oon- j vinced that It was he. Another ] conference will be held to-morrow. , i TO HEIiP (X)TTON FARMERS. i 1 IJig O^mp&i^r to Ahl in Mai'ketlng of Staple. 1 Macon, Ga., Sept. 20. ?

' Fowl That Survived Concussion of j Blf; Guns KobiMMl of Feathers. Norfolk, Va., Sept 21. ? According to the reports from Cape Char- | lea and other sections of the Eastern Shore, about half the chickens on that side the bay wer^ killed | during the recent bombardment of the battleship San Marcos by the | battleship Dele ware and other warships. Seventy thousand chickens is the total number of those esti- | mated to have been killed as a re suit of shock following the discharge of the big 12-inch guns on | the warships. Dr. George Freeman, state tax collector, just back from the Eastern Shore, reports that he | saw grown roosters strutting around without their feathers, and learned that many of the fowl which | survived were robbed of their coverings by the concussion. The man who cultivates a cheerful disposition is likely to be re-j warded with a pleasing crop. AUCTION enn wi 11 Ko Uo\A ff All uv llVlvJ NDAY, OC" >rsesat this ds.
