I Meteors Explode With Such Violence That Buildings are Shaken. * Pitts, Ga., April 20.?Meteors of I the aerolite type that traveled I through the air, apparently in a southwesterly direction, exploded with such violence close to the earth here today that buildings were shaken. One negro at work in the field where a six pound i -ce of the red hot metal struck, unearthed the fragment five feet below the surface and fifteen minutes after it fell it was too hot to handle. A shower of these aerolites fell near here. Many pieces were picked from an open field into which most nf tiiom fpii. the largest w'ere sent to Atlanta for analysis. The explosion here was heard for miles. Farmers telephoned here to determine the cause of the explosion, j The aerolite, of vivid brightness, | was plainly seen in the cloudless sky and its trail was visible for two minutes. Showering Hot Metal. Macon. Ga., April 20.?A meteor or a series of meteors, passed over I middle and southern Georgia about 9 | o'clock this morning, exploding and | showering hot metal as heavy as iron, | according to reports received here toi night. It was seen at Macon. It exploded over Cordele, Pitts, some distance east of Cordele, and Albany, ! southwest of here. At Pitts, in Wilcox county, more j than a dozen heavy explosions were I heard, followed by a sharp cracking I in the air for several minutes and r.ed hot metal, some pieces weighing six | pounds each, fell to the earth, trailing black smoke. The sky was cloudless. The Inajority of the pieces fell in open fields and so far as known tonight no one was injured. a" Hawkinsville People Excited. Hawkinsville, Ga., April 20.?Residents here believed that an explosion high over this city at 9 o'clock this morning was an aeroplane and that the machine and its pilot had UCCU UCSLIU^CU. Pulaski county was combed for wreckage, but none was found, and it was not until reports of aerolites fall-^ ing in Wilcox county, twenty miles south of here tonight that the mystery was solved. FUNERAL OF THE EMPRESS. Presence of Kaiser Husband and the Crown Prince Not Allowed. Augusta Victoria, former empress of Germany, rests in an antique temple at Potsdam, royal suburb of Berlin, after a day of mourning pageantry which recalls the most imposing days of the Hohenzollern reign, according to a Berlin cable. The funeral was marked by the absence of only two of the notable figures which in other days would have been prominent in the ceremonies. Neither the former kaiser nor his eldest son was present. But, in addition the four sons who were permitted to be present, and scores of princes and princesses more or less remotely connected with the former reigning house, hundreds of members of the former emperor's household, and scores of military notables, headed by the old army leadI STRONG PROGRAMME AT LaVictoire Theatre DURING I Moving Picture Week I May 2nd to 7th TRUE WEEK OF FEATURES IX MOVIE CIRCLES Above Average Run : Good Productions Offered Baml>erg County Cinema Fans During the Big Six Days A feature week in every sense of the word will be the coming six big days, May 2nd to 7th.

Forty thousand German people filed past the casket in which the body of the former queen reposed, after brief ceremonies to which only the immediate family were admitted.; There were few tears except from one: or two hysterical women. The ex-1 crown princess appeared pale and haggard, and members of the Hohen-, zollern court were deeply affected. ! rlnAnUAL SlAltlHtNl UHi MAY 7,1919, TO On account of the frequent discu and money expended therefor, we fee condition of the city's affairs.
