Georgia Girl a Heroine.
\ Atlanta, May 17.?Gov. Smith today
received a letter detailing an unusual
instance of heroism.
During the recent tornado which
swept portions of the South, Ada
Price, 14 years old, living near Boden,
Ga., found her mother dead under the
ruins of her home, and her father
K alive, but pinned beneath wreckage.
With an axe the girl worked till her
I strength seemed spent, only to uncovII
era large rock, too heavy for her to
^ lift, which held her father's arms im
movable. The father ordered the girl
r to chop off his arm as the only hope
w of saving his life. She refused and
with torn hands continued to pry and
tug at the rock until her father was
liberated.
? The letter to Gov. Smith asks for
K directions as to how to apply for a
I Carnegie hero medal for the girl.

I WOULDN'T EAT WITH VERNON.
Congressmen Left Restaurant When ]
Negro Appeared With Guest.
Washington, May 14.?Five Southern
congressmen to-day walked out of
the house office building restaurant 1
room, without waiting for the serving i
of their order, because W. L. Vernon, j
the negro registrar of the treasury,
with a negro guest, entered the place, j
The congressmen had ordered ,
luncheon when the negroes were .
ushered to a table next to them and
seated. "Cancel our orders at once," j
said the congressmen, rising and put- ,
ting on their hats. "We will never j
come here again." ]
The congressmen then complained j
to Speaker Cannon, threatening that j
all Southerners would boycett the res- .
taurant if this were repeated. The |
speaker will hear the complaint this .
evening. The congressmen were: j
Sims (Tenn.), Candler (Miss.), Stan- \
ley (Ky.), Garner (Tex.), and Dies ,
(Tex.).

Vernon succeeded an Augusta ne- s
gro, Judson Lyons, in the office of
registrar?a post which has uniform- <
ly been given to negroes for some
years past. Vernon is well known in
Columbia?indeed, he was to have de
livered a lecture here this week, but
the engagement was cancelled by telegraph.
His autograph may be seen
upon any treasury certificate of recent
issue.?Columbia Record.
Receivership for Mills.
Greenville, May 17.?At a meeting
this afternoon of the stockholders of
Reedy River Manufacturing Company
a resolution was passed declaring that
a temporary receivership for the purpose
of enlargement of the plant was
expedient. In pursuance of this reso- (
lution proceedings will be commenced '
at once looking to the appointment of
the affairs of the corporation. This,
however, will not involve the shutting
down of the plant or any stoppage,
as arrangements have been made to
continue the operation of the plant
without Interruption. The mill has
been very much embarrassed since
the August flood, when two floors of
the mill building were submerged, involving
considerable physical damage
to the property. 1

the home of Mrs. Mary Cleary, ninety i
years old, who'has died after living t

when ill they brought food and min- g
istered to her. If she has any heirs S
they are not known to the police. ii

FATAL FIGHT OVER FENCE.
Father and Son Killed Following Controversy
with Another Family.
Richmond, Ind., May 17.?A controversy
over a line fence between
two farms resulted today in the killing
of Alexander Meek and Raymond
Meek, father and son, by Joel Rails
back. Frank Railsback, Sr., and his
son, Frank Railsback, Jr., were
wounded by the Meeks.
The Railsbacks to-day began chopping
away the posts. The Meeks went
3ut to th'e fence where the Railsbacks
were at work. The elder Meek
bad a revolver and the son a shotgun.
Both fired on the Railsbacks and
Frank Railsback, Jr., fell with a
wound in his knee. The elder Railsback
was wounded in the abdomen by
i shot from one barrel of the younger
.Week's gun. The Railsbacks retreated,
and Joel Railsback, another son,
went to the house and returned with
i double-barreled shotgun, fired point
blank at the Meeks, killing both,
shooting each of them in the head.
Joel Railsback surrendered to the
sheriff. ^
Incendiaries at Work.

the actor who was accidentally
shot to-night, they passed through
Jray Court and found the stores of
SVillis & Curry and R. L. Gray in
lames. The buildings were destroy- ,
id. and the loss will amount to sev
>ral thousand dollars. It is believed
hat the fire was caused by an incenliary.
Mayor Babb, who had gone to
neet Dr. Earle in an automobile, was
ired on near Gray Court, presumably
>y the same party who fired the
mildings. As Mr. Babb and his
:hauffeur passed through Gray Court
hey noticed a light in the store of
iVillis & Curry, which indicated that
he torch was applied just before the
>ther party reached Gray Court.

PAUL MORTON SAVES $250.
Agrees to Serve as Petty Juror and
Court Remits the Fine.
New York, May 14.?Paul Morton,
president of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society, has saved $250 by
promising to serve on the October
jury in the city court. Just before he
sailed for Europe recently a subpoena
was made out for him, and one of his
secretaries ignored the notice.
The court assessed a fine of $250
against Mr. Morton, and just after
his return from abroad, Mr. Morton
hastened to the court and explained
matters.
By promising to serve for two
weeks at $1.50 a day as a petty juror,
the fine against the president of the
great life insurance corporation was
remitted.
Death Reported Before it Occurred.
Salinas, Cal., May 15.?Twelve
hours before he was crushed to death
beneath his overturned automobile,
the rumor spread through this city
that Percy Morse, well-known young
seed grower, had been killed on the
road between here and Watsonville.
Late Friday, just twelve hours
after the rumor was circulated, Morse
was found fatally crushed beneath his
wrecked machine. But in the meantime
he had driven into town in his
machine to disprove the rumor.
After circulating about for some
time to show friends that he was
really alive he departed alone in the
car for Watsonville.
