I will commence the erection of quite a large nun ber of Two, Three and Four room houses at once, in Lin. ftS^C ff»* «r "•Jfcf"* ''" -*•»"***-_ uyttblu. »nstalln*& «• ~'— — ~-»• ^" f^' • ^r>n conditions: A small cash payment, the balance weekly or monthly; about the amount your rent now costs you, which amount of money you now pay for rent will be saved and paid on your home, which will enable those desirous and anxious to procure a home, now have a splendid opportunity to get one on small payments, Ion easy terms. Lincoln Park is located about five miles from Car Shed, on the River Electric Car Line, which cars on a thirty minute schedule, making it convenient to reach the City at almost any time during the day or flieht. This beautiful tract of land is said, by all who have seen it, to be the finest property in a miles of Atlanta, and could not be surpassed for beauty anywhere, undulating enough for natural draina and just far enough away from Atlanta to escape the noise, foul air and smoke which prevails in all li ing large bold springs which furnish pure water the year round, with large and beautiful Oak Groves, long Broad Avenues and Streets, large building lots, size sixty feet frontage on a beautiful avenu and seventy-five feet in depth to a ten foot alley in the rear, which lots will be sold for a reasonable first cash payment will be only three dollars, and the balance at the rate of seventy-five cents per week untl p lid for, therefore there can be no excuse offered for not procuring one of these beautiful building sites when they can be procured on such small payments, about ten cents per day. A macademized road 40 feet wide from Atlanta runs directly through the centre of Lincoln Park to the River, which is said to be one of the best and finest driveways out of Atlanta. This beautiful suburb is for colored people only, and is surrounded and thickly settled by a good class of white people—quite a large number of Atlanta's well-known and influential colored citizens have pur chased property at the Park, and erected houses and are now living there. Doctor W. H. Tillman. who is well- known and respected by both white and colored, and who was pastor of the Baptist Church for 30 years, corner Auburn Avenue and Fort Street, is a resident and owns his home in the Park. Several other well-known colored citizens of Atlanta have also erected fine homes. Parties desirous of visiting the Park for the purpose of purchasing one or more of the beautiful lots, will be furnished transportation free of charge, by applying at the office, No. 61% East Alabama Street, between Pryor and Streets. LINCOLN PARK LAND COMPANY, C. E. KING, President. -»*^> jfe»*t *• TT7 f ~>Q~**° ~ - To the United Daughters of the Southern Confederacy- I believe that the time has come when the question of pay ment for slaves, freed under the Emancipation Proclamation,may be calmly considered by this government. The men of the South may never deem it expedient for them to bring the matter up before Congress, but I believe that we, the Daughters of the Southern Confederacy, may make a simple plea for the payment of property taken during the Civil War without remuneration, the right of which property was authorized, and protected by our constitution, and yet not disturb the safety or peace of this united nation. The recent war with Spain has brought the sections very close together. The North and South have fought side by side. The Northern soldiers have found happy homes in our Southern land. The}7 have broken bread with us and clasped hands of friendship with us. The time has come when this nation can deal with questions of differences in the calm light of judgment and of justice. The fourteenth amendment to our constitution, which refuses to pay for the property of slaves declared to be free under the Emancipation Proclamation, is a repudiation of. a nation's just debt, which is to our nation's deep dishonor. We, the Daughters of the Southern Confederacy have as sumed the task of placing the South right in the World of History. The work will not be complete until this United States government, of which we are an integral part, and into whose general coffers we contribute our respective shares, has an opportunity to rid itself of an honest debt by remunera ting the slave holders for their confiscated property. The pay ment of this just debt will, I believe, more firmly cement the peace and friendship of this union. I do not believe that the government of these United States will be willing to go down to posterity in the pages of History with such a blot on its escutch eon as is shown by the repudiation of an honest debt in the four teenth amendment. The ground of this plea for justice is embod ied in the resolutions framed and read before the Georgia Di vision of the Daughters of the Confederacy, which met Oct. 12th, in Athens, Ga. I earnestly hope that these resolutions may be carefully considered and unanimously adopted by the United Daughters of the Southern Confederacy, when presented to that body at Richmond ; and that a committee be appointed at once to present them to the Congress of the United States now in sess ion at Washington,D. C. Ihave the faith to believe that this sim ple plea for justice, offered by the Daughters of the Southern Confederacy, who were the greatest sufferers from the reverses of the war, will not only be heard by congress, but will be heeded by them. Earnestly and thoughtfully presenting these resolutions for your consideration I am, Daughters of the Southern Confed eracy, Respectfully yours, M. A. LIPSCOMB. Preamble and Resolutions Presented by Mrs. M. A. Lipscomb before the State Convention of the Daughters of tJie Confederacy, which met in AtJiens, Georgia, October llth, imh and 13th. Whereas, The object of this association of the Daughters of the Southern Confederacy is to collect and preserve material for a true history of the war between the states, the work of this association has naturally led its members into the field of inves tigation : Whereas, the Constitution of the United States, which was framed for the purpose of establishing justice, insuring domes tic tranquillity, providing for the common defence, promoting the general welfare and securing the blessings of liberty to our selves and to our posterity, we have found that in the issues of the war between the states the principles of justice, as laid down by our forefathers to govern all sections, have been misapplied and violated : Whereas, In Article I and section IX of the Constitution of the United the slave trade was not only recognized, but protect ed by the provisions of that article, and whereas Article IV, Sec tion III, provides that "fugitive slaves are to be returned on proper claims to their masters," and whereas, it appears that this clause was introduced in our constitution solely for the pur pose of protecting the slave-holding states, since it might occur that some states would not give any aid to owners to recover their lost property, and in some instances might really use their efforts to prevent their recovery ; Whereas, it has been found that by a number of acts of Congressy'passed, additional regula- ions were provided for the surrender of fugitive slaves : ,- Whereas, the decision rendered by Chief Justice Taney, in the famous Dred Scott case, will stand for all time in attestation of the legality of slavery and for the protection of the master's rights, and, whereas, Abraham Lincoln declared in his inaugural address that he had no purpose directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery in the United States where it then existed ; whereas, he furthermore declared that he had no right to do so and no inclination to do so ; and, whereas, in the third year of the war when reverses came to the Northern army, he made a solemn vow before God that if General Lee was driven back from Maryland he would crown the result by the declara tion of freedom to the slaves ; and it was in fulfillment of a rash vow that the president broke his faith, and with one stroke of his pen signed his name to the emancipation proclamation which set free over 4,000,000 slaves : "1. Be it resolved, That this government acknowledged slavery in the original constitution. "2. Be it resolved, That this government violated the rights of the slaveholding states when it refused protection to the in- stitution which in its constitution it had incorporated, author ized and encouraged. "3. Be it resolved, That no enlightened government has ever been justified in confiscating estate, real or personal, with out due compensation. "4. Be it resolved-That this government has only partially recognized this principal of equity in restoring properties appro priated in times of war or urgent necessities. "5. Be it resolved, That might does not make right and that the arbitrament of the sword is not the arbitrament of justice. "6. Be it resolved, That President Lincoln exceeded his con stitutional authority when he issued the emancipation proclama tion, a fact that congress realized and acknowledged by the thir teenth amendment. "7. Be it resolved, That the fourteenth amendment is a re pudiation of a nation's just debt. "8. Be it resolved, That in view of the fact that the gov ernment has violated its original compact with the slave-holding states and by force of arms deprived them of the rights of prop erty, that we, the Daughters of the Southern Confederacy, as an incorporated body, petition congress to amend the constitution authorizing the payment for the property of slaves that was taken from owners under the emancipation proclamation. "9. Be it resolved, further, that the Daughters of the South ern Confederacy do petition congress to order the tax books kept during the civil war to be examined and the rights of each slave holder established. "10. Be it resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the convention of the United Daughters of the Southern Confederacy at their next general meeting at Richmond, Va., for their consideration, and when acted on by that convention, pre sented by a committee appointed by the United Daughters, to the congress of the United States."

Brown Done?" From The Macon Telegraph. This question is a favorite one with some of those who are seeking to defeat the pres ent Governor for re-election and endorse ment. Let us answer briefly: First, in view of a hostile Legislature, controlled body, boots and soul "by his oppo nent, he has grappled manfuhy with tne handicap and tried to induce them to do something. Second, he cut down the political guillo tine erected by his autocratic predecessor. (See the Joe Brown and McLenuon cases of dismissal.) Third, he renewed and re-enthroned the doctrine of one law for the rich and the poor alike. (See the Mitchell and Pharr cases.) Fourth, he demanded of the Legislature the creation of a Department of Labor which would serve as a legal and peaceful means of settling strikes, and to maintain friendly relations between capital and labor. Fifth, he was the instrument in unlocking the coffers of the rich that labor might get employment, and that industries might thrive. Sixth, he contributed largely to the wooing back of prosperity. Seventh, he has guarded'ably the interests of the poor and the rich. Eighth, his painstaking and business-like methods in attending to the dut-es of his high office are in striking contrast with the frequent desertions of the Governor's office by h-s immediate predecessor. Ninth, he has' more than met the expecta tions of his friends; he has confounded his enemies. He has made good. "The charges made against liim in 1908 have not even been repeated this year, much less proved," says Representative Bailey, who opposed him two years ago. Tenth, he has set a pattern as a decent campaigner, a fair debater and a peace-lov ing and prosperity-inviting Governor, which his enemies are weakly trying to imitate— the sincerest form of flattery. Eleventh, he opened to the democratic people of Georgia the doors of the executive office, which he found bolted with, an elec tric lock to keep the people out. Twelfth, he defeated Jdoke Smith. Thirteenth, he has made strenuous ef forts to induce the General Assembly to adopt some method for the payment of the State's debt to the poor teachers. In the famous Mitchell case asking for executive clemency he said: "I would that the ordeal of deciding this case were not upon me. My heart bleeds for the gentle and refined family of this one whom the jury of his peers has declared guilty of the mad act which has plunged them into the slough of sorrow. "But it was not intended that the Constitu tion should be upheld, or the laws adminis tered on sympathy and Pity, else the vilest criminal could secure a guarantee of im munity; and it was not intended that pen alties, fixed after a fair trial, should be set aside by petition, for the Supreme Court of the United States (Smyth vs. Ames) has said: 'This is a government of law, not of men.' And in the assurance to the law- abiding and m the learning to the lawless that the laws will be certainly executed, we have the warrant of peaceful intercourse and of protection to person and property. "Should the clemency asked for in the present case be extended, there is grave danger that it would bear fruits of sorrow in every section of the State. It would set an example pernicious beyond compare, an example embodying a daily menace to Geor gia's womanhood. It would say that we have one law for the rich, another for the poor; one law for the highly educated, an other for those too poor to enjoy the priv ileges and immunities consequent upon education; one law for the classes, another for the masses. "Furthermore, while the pardoning power conferred upon the executive is practically unlimited, yet it must be held in mind that it was the manifest intent of those framing the Constitution that it would be exercised in such manner as would not impair »the con fidence of the people in the purity of the fountains of justice, the courts, or weaken the foundations upon which society is built." In the Pharr bank case he said in part: "And we should beware of substituting government by petition for government by statute law, for the latter as a rule is en acted with deliberation, after careful exam ination, by those clothed with responsibility and acting under oath, while those who sign a petition generally do so for sentimental reason or to oblige friends or neighbors, and are free from the fetters of an oath binding them to the protection of society. . In the case under review, the appellant, by his embezzlements, caused a loss of thous ands of dollars to the stockholders of the bank, five of whom were older men—Con federate veterans. "The interests herein considered are so greiat as to demand extraordinary safe guards, s-nce the law enforcement or stay of enforcement of the laws regulating the han dling of the funds in banks niay amount almost to placing a premium on crime. And, for general application, we may safely lay down the rule that in the enforcement of just laws is found a State's strength. "The appellant in. this case has served a less time than that which the law fixes as the minimum upon which a parole can be granted. A full pardon to him now, there fore, would possibly set the seal of the State upon a temptation working wreck to for tunes, reputations and happiness, it might do worse: it might be construed as indi cating that the executive power Is setting itself in opposition to and, in fact, overrul ing the courts, in other words, making Itself practically the court of last resort. We should not even admit this thought. Our organic law irrevocably commands the con trary. Respect for the law, and the conse quent determination to uphold and obey It, is inculcated by the certainty of its enforce ment, and even mercy must be so discern ingly extended as to suggest the constant presence of justice. This should be our un changing practice." With a hostile Legislature to confront, if he has not accomplished legislation, it may be said, "The clock that stands still points right twice in the twenty-four hours; wh'ile others may keep going continually and be continually going wrong." E B. LEWIS ON THE RUN. Notorious Would-be Briber Has Failed to Accept Any of the Following Propositions* MR, LEWIS DARED. i From the Twiggs County Cit'zen. We are informed that E. B. Lew is took occasion during his har angue at the barbecue, given by him and his campaign manager and henchman (Bolivar Ray), in Crawford County, on last Friday, to denounce this paper as a "dirty sheet." For that statement we owe Mr. Lewis a debt of gratitude, and here by publicly thank him. The state ment, coming from that source, we regard as the very highest compli ment that could possibly be paid us. If Mr. Lewis, Bolivar Ray or Bill Dodson would say that we were pure as angels, we would very se riously doubt our own_ respecta,- Dfflty-"-".. But, why does Mr. Lewis grow thus frantic ? What has the Citizen done or said to warrant this violent outbreak of his virulent attack of hydrophobia? If it is dirty to champion the cause of the honest voters of the Third Congressional District, to protect against the prostitutions of the electorate and and advocate the purity of the bal lot, to endeavor to expose fraud and corruption in public office, when ever and wherever found, then we plead guilty to the charge of dirti ness. . It will be remembered (and shown by 'the files of this paper) that we have indulged in no "mud slinging" during this campaign. We were careful in the beginning to distinctly state that our discussion of Mr. Lewis should relate to him only in his official capacity, and be confined to his official record. We then took occasion to speak of Mr. Lewis, personally, in the most com plimentary language. In this re spect, in the light of subsequent revelations, perhaps, we uncon sciously exaggerated the facts as ' they then appeared to us. However, we consistently adher ed to the policy of discussing Mr. Lewis' public record, and shall so continue to the end, unless Mr. Lewis shall see fit to take the ini tiative in a comparison of the per sonal character and reputation of himself, and the members of the staff of the Twiggs County Citizen. From such comparison we have nothing to fear. Mr. Lewis vehemently denies that he has used any money to in fluence votes. We have, on what we consider conclusive evidence, asserted the contrary. Now, Mr. Lewis, this makes a clear cut issue, and we make you the following proposition. If you will permit an examination of the books of your l>pnk at M®«te«H*iris by -ft» expert accountant, to be employed and paid by us, and will furnish us with a sworn statement showing the names of the parties to whom you, Bolivar Ray and Bill Dodson, and other distributors of your cam paign funds, have furnished mon ey. and the amounts so furnished, if we do not conclusively show, that your expenditures have been greatly in excess of the most ex travagant estimate of the maount required for legitimate campaign expenses," then we will very cheer fully retract everything we have said about the matter, and plant ourselves upon the single proposi tion that durinng your ten years' tenure of office, you have accom plished practically nothing, and we dare you to accept the proposition. Of this be libelous, make the most of it. You may rest assured that we will not be deterred from our duty to the good people of the Third Congressional District by Bill Dodson's threat of libel suits, nor b)' your opinion as to our re spectability. We repeat that is has been com mon talk, that not only in Crawford County, but in many counties of the Third District—that your election to Congress in every campaign in which you have had opposition was money by you and your friends. In due to the large expenditure of not true) it is a duty you own to view of these charges (if they are yourself to furnish to the people a list of names of the parties to whom you have furnished money, with the amounts to each, so that they may judge as to whether or not the amounts so given were for the purpose of paying legitimate campaign expenses or to illegally "influence" voters We can find no words strong enough to express our contempt for those loathsome creatures in human form, who are ever ready to "3en^ tite pregnant hinges of the knee, that thrift may follow fawning." There are "a few such in the Third District who are prob ably known to you, Mr. Lewis, and on the 22d day of August, when Dudley M. .Hughes will be nomi- rated as Congressman for the Third District by the honest elec torate, you will, perhaps, realize that a vast majority of the people are interested in the preservation of the purity of the ballot. From Twiggs County Citizen. We will deposit in Mr. Lewis' national bank, in Montezuma, the sum of $100 and present same to Mr. Lewis, if both he and Bill Dod son will sign an affidavit that neith- e- has furnished to J. R. Harrison, of Crawford County, or others in said county, any money during the present campaign, and also deny under oath that they have furnished money to. parties in Twiggs Coun ty. We dare Mr. Lewis to accept this proposition, and will give him the additional sum of $100, if he will bring a libel suit against us, based on this statement.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—The situation with reference to the bills pending in Congress under which the government would be empowered to condemn the Mammoth Cave property and purchase it, seems to be set tled as far as action of any character at this session of Congress is concerned, the members of the commit tees having the bills under consideration showing a decided disinclination toward favorable action. The owners of the 'Mammoth Cave estate assert that they object to such proceedings as the two bills seek to insti tute ; that they have been given no consideration in the premises, and that lobbyists have sought to have the bills passed without consulting them in any way, shape or form. Albert Covington Janin, of this city, trustee for the owners, has taken exception to the proceedings as carried on so far, and says that those taking such steps seem to have entirely overlooked the fact that the owners might have some rights which should be considered. He asserts that there is no demand, so far as be knows, from Kentuckians generally to have the government take over the property ; that such action would mean that a syndicate would take over the hotel privileges at the Cave and maintain rates out of reach of the ordinary visitor, and that such hotels would attract tourists there, thus cutting out Louis ville and Nashville from entertaining them. - No meeting of either committee having charge of the bills is expected in the near future, and members - say they know of none. Mr. Janin, when seen by an Evening Post representative, and asked for a statement, said: "The ad vocates of the Mammoth Cave National Park bills have been acting on the theory that the owners of the property have no rights that need to be considered. They have never consulted them ; have arranged for hearings before the Senate and House committees without informing the representative of the owners, and are now lobbying for the passage of the House or Senate bill in the same spirit. At the hearing before the House committee I was unexpectedly called upon for a statement of my views in the matter, and made some impromptu and rather rambling remarks. At the hearing before the Senate committee I had no opportun ity to say anything at all, and I have not yet discussed the matter with a single member of either of the com mittees. ' ' I am absolutely opposed to the expropriation of the property through condemnation proceedings, as I do not think the Federal government has power to condemn the property of citizens of a. soverign State for the establishment of show places and playgrounds, though it may use its own property or purchase property for that purpose. What my views and those of the owners of the Mammoth Cave property may be regarding the sale of the Mammoth Cave property to the Federal government, is another question. "Before taking a positive stand in the matter I want to be informed how the people of Kentucky are to be benefited by the conversion of the Mammoth Cave estate into a resort for rich tourists, with high-priced hotels, with charges such as I had to pay at the Yellowstone Park—for instance, $10.50 for one day's board and lodging and with an extra lunch and supper. "Personally, I prefer that it remain a low-priced resort for the pleasure and instruction of the people of that section, including students of colleges and Normal and High Schools, and for the unpretentious citi zens of the towns and country who have no affiliation with the so-called 'Smart Set.' "I did not say, as mistakenly reported, that I wanted a 'fine hotel' at the -Mammoth Cave. I have no wish for a hotel there that would compete for patronage with the fine hotels of Louisville and Nashville. We are quite willing that Cave visitors from other States make those hotels their headquarters and go from there to the Cave hotel for a stay of only a day or two. If the Mammoth Cave estate should be made a fash ionable resort, tourists would go directly there, passing through Louisville and Nashville and leaving no money to circulate in those cities. "However, it remains to be seen what the views of the owners of the property may be after a thorough study of the situation, which I am about to make. One thing that is a puzzle to me is this : "What interests are financing this costly scheme to secure expropriation ~by the Federal Government of the Mammoth Cave estate, and some 30,000 acres of land situated on the side of Green river opposite to that on which the Cave is situated, and with which the Cave estate has no connection whatever." r; ,50 The Grant me a steady hand and watch ful eye. That no man shall be hurt when I pass by. Thou gavest life, and I pray no act of mine May take away or mar that gift of thine. Shelter those, dear Lord, who bear me company From the evils of fire and all calamity. Teach me to use my car for others' need. Nor miss through love of speed The beauties of thy world; that thus I may With joy and cour tesy go on my way. With gratitudt to the London Church Times A.M.D.O. CARD NO. t TRINITY CHURCH. NEW YORK REASONS FOR ERECTING A MORTUARY AND MEMORIAL CHAPEL IN ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY NOT TO EXCEED IN COST SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. 1.—The only services that can be now held are those at the grave as there are no conveniences for otherwise hold ing- them. This works an unnecessary hardship upon the families of deceased officers and soldiers of the Army and Navy who often request a Chapel Service. It is very annoying to take the remains to a private residence or undertaking establishment when the Quarter master's Department can furnish the transportation direct to the cemetery. 2—Not more than half of the interments have any other service than at the grave—presumably one-fourth have other services—but one-fourth have no services at all for various reasons. It is thought that this condition will be materially improved. 3.—At present a private soldier must be denied the privilege of burying his wife in Arlington until his own de cease—but with a proper mortuary vault with ample ac commodations for both bodies and cremated remains—a suitable time can be selected for interment and the expense of keeping the remains elsewhere saved. 4.—The sight proposed is convenient for Post usuages, and instead of a long wait for the troops exposed to incle ment weather—they could move promptly knowing there would be a shortened ceremony at the grave—thereby les sening the dangers of exposure. The South in History and Literature. BY MIIvDRED IvEWIS RUTHERFORD, ATHENS, GEOBGIA. Miss Rutherford, the author of English Authors, American Authors and French Authors, has just completed Southern Authors. As Historian of the Georgia Division U. D. C. since the office was created, Miss Rutherford has had an excellent opportunity to collect much important data regarding the South. Then as teacher of Literature for more than twQnjj years in the Lucy Cobb Institute, A theag^Jra,. sij£ Jyjowii possibly as ^vell a& aaj •.me can know the needs of pupils in the d'.cdv o'" men of letters Feeling convinced that little has been written concerning the literary work of the South, she has felt impelled to collect and publish this material in The South in History and Literature. Connected with these sketches is a short historical outline, dwelling mainly upon the causes leading to the War between the States, and the South's true history during and since that war, which will make the book of great value, especially to all de scendants of Southern men and women. Should not Southern Literature be taught in all schools of the South? The need for such a book is very great. Should not every home have in its library a guide to Southern authors? Miss Rutherford has written this book and its price is within the reach of all. Advance orders for the book will be sent post free. Money to be sent when book is delivered. Special rates for introduction in schools, where more than a dozen copies are used. Special discount to trade, 20 per cent.

And we shall see how, while we frown and sigh, God's plans go on as best for you and me; And how he heeded not our feeble cry, Because his wisdom to the end could see. And e'en as prudent parents disallow To» much of sweet to craving babyhood, So God, perhaps, Is holding from us now Life's sweetest things because It seemeth good. And if sometimes commingled with life's wine We find the wormwood and rebel and shrink, Be sure a wiser hand than yours or mine Pours out the potion for our lips to drink. And If some friend we love Is lying low, Where human kisses cannot reach his face, Oh, do not blame the loving Father so; But bear your sorow with obedient grace. And you shall shortly know that lengthened breath Is not the fairest gift God sends his friend. Sometimes the sable pall of death Conceals the fairest boon his love can send If we could push ajar the gates of life, And stand within, and all God's workings see, We could Interpret all this doubt and strife, And for each mystery could find a key. But not today. Then be content, poor heart, God's plans like lilies, pure and white unfold; We must not tear the close shut leaves apart, Time will reveal the calyxes of gold; And when through patient toll we reach the land, Where tired feet with sandals loosed may rest, Where we shall clearly know and understand, I think that we shall say, God knew the best. THAT RECORD OF HON. E. B. LEWIS' Purity against corruption 1 Abil ity against inability 1 Statesman against politician 1 Hughes against Lewis 1 These are the two bat tling forces 1 Mr. Voter, where do you stand? I will not dwell on the mental and moral superiority that makes Hon. Dudley M Huuh.es assume the proportions of a giant when measured up against our pigmy congressman that unworthily oc cupies (not tills) the chair that our lamented Crisp so nobly honored. Every one who knows Mr. Hughes and Mr. Lewis readily realizes that a comparison as to inteNegence, ability, morality, and general character of the two men would be cruel, because, when Mr. Lewis loses connection with his political magnet (which he affectionately calls the Montezuma National Bank) he has lost his all. Rather, I would like to talk of his record, or to speak correctly, lack of record, during the twelve years he has misrepresented the Third Congressional District in Congress. • He—that is, Lige—recently pub lished a circular in which he tells of many things he has done for us. It was addressed to "the farmers of the third district, and the third district,"'. I do not know whet lier it is because he regards the farmers as some foreign in gredient that it is necessary to mix in his pot.of political corrupt ion from which • he is endeavoring to boil a successful election, or whether he now realizes that there is a fanner in the race and sees that he must show some of us fanners that he hasn't forgotten us. eveTT if the only horror that has been bestowed upon him was a reward for the eternal vigilance exercised over the the bankers' in terest—"the ranking" and "rank" member of the finance committee ; ranking because of the six times he has led us astray on election day and just naturally rank. Mr. Lewis would have it distinctly un derstood that though his labors in behalf of the farmer has not been seen he has labored all the same. Mr. Lewis passed a bill through Congress (so he says) which en ables the farmer to borrow money on his land frvm a national bank. Of course this wasn't because he owns a national bank and it gives him a larger field to operate in. Oh nol it is for the benefit of Mr. Farmer, who could go to the same national bank before the law was passed and mortgage the same land to the president of the same bank and get his "personal" en dorsement on Mr. Farmer's note, and get all the money he wanted. This is one of the wonderful achievements of Mr. Lewis' that he is parading before the people 1 But he is going to wait two years (so he says) before he devotes his energies to his own private inter est 1 He also passed a bill (so he says) to put in the, peniteiaLiary anybody who lets government re ports "leak out''' before the prop er time. I presume this was done because, when a talse report gets out, it causes a break in the mar ket, and a break in the market often causes a break in the banks of Wall Street, and the breaking of these banks sometimes causes the people to go broke. So you see, dear people, he is looking after your interest up there in Washington, even if his banks are made a little safer by his new laws I Especially the banks where he and all the other members of the Lewis • family deposit their surplus money. Then he made a threat at the beginning of the present sessioi* of Congress to investigate the gu ano trust that was so -frightful It, made the market slump $1.50 per ton, even if we didn't hear any thing about it 'way down here in South Georgia. I wonder what threat he made about investigat ing the cotton trust, lumber trust, and other of the producers' trust that made their prices slump so badly. It really must have been a great deal worse than the guano threat, judging from the decline of prices. But,- neverthe less, Mr. Lewis would have you distinctly understand that the great need of money during the recent panic had nothing whatever to do with the shrinkage in price of guano, even if it did on every thing 'else. Then he says that he has made s complete "network" of rural mail routes, but he wasn't specific enough in naming the ones he got to enable me to point them out to you. Did he get yours for yon? I thought that was Jim Griggs' feat. It is all through 'Lige's tireless efforts that the Government road engineers, who are going all over the United States, are coming in to the privileged-Third to see that the- roads are all right. Now, don't you think for one moment that, after everybody else has got ten something, 'Lige is going to permit of our Joeing slighted, even though it requires his "tireless efforts" to prevent it. Then, lastly, Lige has prevailed on Congress to let us have $75,- 000 ($15,000 of which, was to be used in the purchase of a lot from Brother Bill Dodson's bank) for a government buiMing and $50,- 000 for one in Cordele to put its postoffice in, because it let Albany have $150,000.fcr «, Federal .build ing and created a Federal^ court there, and did the same thing for Valdosta except it was given a slightly smaller appropriation. Indeed, this last finishing stroke was that of a master 1 It must have taken a wonderful lot of work for our congressman to get one-half as much as Jim - Griggs got for his district 1 Even Mr. Lewis could not get a Federal court for us, and had to give the foolish excuse that he did not want them in his district. Now. 'Lige comes to us again beseeching us to let him stay in Congress for two more years, so that he can become a little ranker on that banking committee. These, my fellow citizens are all the fruits that E. B. Lewis liad to offer von after iveivt, years of service in Congress, which has cost us more than $75,000. And now, when he offers for re-elec tion, with this blank record he comes before you asking that you allow him two more years "to do that which he has so signally failed to do in twelve. Will you listen to him? Will such political clap-trap as the above, which his henchmen are now belching forth, keep you from striking his name from the ballot? I don't believe you will. We all know Dud. Hughes. We know that he loves the. farmer be cause he is a farmer. We know that he loves justice because he is just. We know that he loves honesty because he is honest. We all know he loves God because he is a Christian. What more need we know? Let every man say to himself on this question : I will use all of my influence and cast my vote in favor of an able, pure statesman against a corrupt, inefficient poli tician ; and I do not believe that there is any doubt that Hon. Dud ley M. Hughes will be our next Congressman. ———— (Prom Twiggs County Citizen.) To the Voters of the Third Congressional District: In reply to many letters from my friends throughout the district, I hereby announce my candidacy for the office of representative in Congress for the Third Congressional District of Georgia, in the Sixty-first Congress, subject to the Democratic white primary. I respectfully invoke the aid and support of the Democratic voters of the district, upon the following platform: I favor the same reforms in national legisla tion that I advocated two years ago, when a majority of the counties in the district declared in my favor. The BANKING AND CURRENCY questions have been in the hands of the national bankers in Congress for years. The late panic demon strates the fact that the people should become aroused and take an active stand in revising the statutes on the question of money. I do not think the revision should be made by those in terested in the prosperity of the national banks. I favor a revision of the national banking laws of the country in the interest of all classes of the people, and to that end will urge with all my power the repeal of all laws by means of which the money of the people may be contracted by the national banks, the value of our products decreased, and all legitimate business injured. I favor the enactment of such laws as will pro vide an ample and elastic currency, so that in terest rates may be lowered, money obtained by those engaged in legitimate industry, our crops bring their real value and move without difficulty. The PROTECTIVE TARIFF is the direct cause of illegal trusts and combines which have throttled the wheels of national and individual prosperity. Every loyal Democrat is in favor of the revision of the tariff. To this end I would labor. I favor the strict regulation and control of the trusts, both those engaged in interstate commerce and those subject to the jurisdiction of Congress. I favor the PARCELS POST, and an increased salary to the Rural Free Delivery carriers. I favor liberal appropriations for our RIVERS AND HARBORS, and the great waterway from the Mississippi to the Atlantic. I would espe cially urge appropriations for the purpose of erection of PUBLIC BUILDINGS in the Third Congressional District, the total absence of which has made her conspicuous. I advocate (which I consider of great import ance to the South and Georgia) government aid for the improvement of our PUBLIC ROADS. AGRICULTURE is of paramount importance to the nation. The great cotton crop of the South—the basis of her financial prosperity—is selling below its value, largely owing to the manipulator, speculator and Wall-Street gam bler, as well as to the restriction of trade and the concentration—hence, contraction and scarcity— of currency in the movement of the crop. If the farmers prosper, all classes prosper. The mer chant, banker and lawyer are already in Con gress, looking after all other classes. The farmer needs representation to bring up this interest, and thus represent all classes. Having been a farmer all my life, I would give these questions my deepest consideration. The use of money to control the ballot, by in dividuals or corporations, is CORRUPTION, and any candidate who will resort to such meth ods should be disqualified, both as an officer and as a voter. With these views, I ask your support for this high office of honor and trust. If elected, I pledge my best efforts, thoughts and energy to the interests of the Third Congressional District. Very respectfully yours, DUDLEY M. HUGHES. ^^BB*» HuttBUH ^BHB, RATION Jubilee 5OTH ANNIVERSARY Foreign Missions November rêth, 1911.

Five hundred and eleven students have been registered this fall in the State Noimal School, Athens, with one hundred and thirty in the Mus- cogee Elementary School, making a total enrollment of six hundred and forty-one. There is room in the dormitories for only three hundred and sixty students, therefore more than eighty students are bearding in the homes of the immediate neighborhood. The enrollment this year repre sents one hundred and fourteen counties of the State. The counties most largely repre sented are as follows: Baldwin 4, Bulloch 9, Burke 5, Chatham 6, Screven 5, Tattnall 6, Thomas 4, Quitman 4, Houston 6, Pulaski 4, Suniter 7, Carroll 4, Coweta 9, Meriwether 5, Muscogee 6, DeKalb 6, Fulton 13, Newton 7, Waltoii 8, Fayette 4, Henry 6, Pike 5, Spald- ing 7, Cobb 4, Floyd 4, Whitfield 4, Elbert-8, Franklin 10, Green 10, Jayper 8, Madisöu 4, Mtïrgan 12, Oconee 9, Oglethorpe 9, Putiiam 4, Wilkes 11, Dawson 4, Gwinnett 7, Hall 4, Jackson 14, Milton 5, Stephens 7, Columbia 4, Hancock 5, Lincoln 10, Richmond 4, Telfair 4.

On January 2 of every year more than a hundred such teachers come in for the common-school reviews. It will be necessary this year for such applicants to apply well in ad vance of their coming, on account of the crowd. No other school in this or any other State keeps closer to the common-school problem than this school. More than three hundred of the students are the children of farmers.

This department has recently called for two new Knabe Grand pianos and eight Haines" Bros, upright pianos. Instrumental music is included in the course because of the steady call on the graduates for musical accomplishments. As usual, the school has this year again escaped an epidemic, as it has done the past sixteen years. Very unusual attention is paid to hygiene and sanitation.

Therefore to the utmost of my power I will defend His doctrine and His Holiness's right and custom against all usurpers of the heretical or Protestant author ity whatever, especially the Lutheran Church of Ger many, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway and the now pretended authority and Churches of England and Scotland, and the branches of same now established in Ireland and on the Continents of America and elsewhere, and all adherents in regard that they may be usurped and heretical, opposing the sacred Mother Church of Rome. "I do now denounce and. ^disavow-any allegiance as due to any heretical king, prince, or State, named Protestant or Liberals, or obedience to any of their laws, magistrates, or officers. "I do further declare that the doctrine of the Churches of England and Scotland, of the Calvinists, Huguenots, and others of the name Protestants or Masons to be damnable, and they themselves to be damned who will not forsake the same. "I do further declare that I will help, assist and advise all or any of His Holiness's agents, in any place where I should be, in Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Ireland, or America, or in any other kingdom or territory I shall come to, and do my utmost to extirpate the heretical Protestants or Masonic doctrines and to destroy all their pretended powers, legal or otherwise. "I do further promise and declare that, notwith standing I am dispensed with to assume any religion heretical for the propagation of the Mother Church's interest, to keep secret and private all her agents' counsels from time to time as they intrust me, and not divulge, directly or indirectly, by word, writing, or circumstances whatever, but to execute all that should be proposed, given in charge, or discovered unto me by you, my Ghostly Father, or any of this sacred order. "I do further promise and declare that I will have no opinion or will of my own or any mental reserva tion whatsoever, even as a corpse or cadaver (perinde ac cadaver), but will unhesitatingly obey each and every command that I may receive from my superiors in the militia of the Pope and of Jesus Christ.

"I do further promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, make and wage relentless war, secretly and openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Masons as I am directed to do, to extirpate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex, or condition, and that I will hang, burn, waste, boil, flay, strangle, and bury alive these infamous heretics; rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women, and crush their infants' heads against the walls in order to annihilate their execrable race. That when the same can not be done openly, I will secretly use the poisonous cup, the strangulation cord, the steel of the poniard, or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or authority of the persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Father of the Society of Jesus.

"That I will in voting always vote for a K. of C. in preference to a Protestant, especially a Mason, and that I will leave my party so to do; that if Two Catholics are on the ticket I will satisfy myself which is the better supporter of the Mother Church and vote accordingly. "That I will not deal with or employ a Protestant if in my power to deal with or employ a Catholic. That I will place Catholic girls in Protestant families that a weekly report may be made of the inner movements of the heretics. "That I will provide myself with arms and ammu nition that I may be in readiness when the word is passed, or I am commanded to defend the church either as an individual or with the militia of the Pope.

At first, when it was explained to him that rotate meant revolve, he looked somewhat askance, feeling that the club was a Revolutionary organi zation. But later, when he read the little piece about the wheels turning round, he liked it, finding in it a sug gestion of something that he had en tertained in his head for some time. (Continued on "Page 3.) / f J THE AUGUSTA DAILY NEWS EDITORIAL PAGE THE AUGUSTA DAILY NEWS President Wilson Addresses the Childrens Anti-Purity League. House this afternoon at 2 o'cïock where they were received with dis- ' tinction by the Chief Executive, who made them a brief talk. The president expressed his deep appreciation of the work which the league is doing throughout the coun try in taking children out of refined or moral surroundings and placing them in institutions where their young minds can be properly scunted and -debauched. Secretary Bryan then addressed a few remarks to the little ones .telling them how his own religious and strict upbringing, surrounding him, as it had from his earliest youth, with an at mosphere of sanctity and sobriety, had so wrecked his after life that it cost him three presidential campaigns. The .Secretary of State then presented eac^i of the little delegates with a beautiful volume, bound (at Government ex pense) especially for the occasion, en titled "Prurient Extracts from Amer ican Poets." The book contains all the most alluring, vulgar and sugges tive passages of the best American au thors. It was thought a most appro priate gift for the little ones, saving them, as it will, an infinite amount of laborious reading in looking up the -above mentioned passages, during the -course of which they would be liable to absorb a certain amount of edu- -cation or Kultur. After the reception cocktails and -cigarettes were handed and the dele gation was driven to the Union Sta tion in high good humor. American Public Sends $21 For Belgian Relief. noon, with destination Liverpool, bear ing $21 in gold bullion, the first con siderable contribution of the American people toward the relief of Belgium. This sum was raised in a few days by one of the most inspiring answers to the call of humanity which has ever .shown the true spirit of the country. This is only the first installment of a fund which is growing every day through subscriptions from all parts of the Union. It is known as the Cutie de Graft Fund, from the name of its originator, the clever actress. Miss de Graft conceived the idea of send ing out an appeal to every person in this country who enjoyed an income of more than $75,000 a year, asking each to contribute a nickel toward the noble work of feeding and clothing the destitute Belgians who are homeless •on account of not having any place to stay. Four hundred and twenty of these well-to-do persons responded within three days, and other letters are coming in every hour, asking for particulars and promising subscrip tions in the near future. Mr. Rocker- fellow has pledged himself to give a Quarter if they can raise another dollar by twelve o'clock tonight. Augusta Rotary Offers Ser vices. He says, however, that the need *.o mediate is not immediate. He wishes to call the game and declare a tie at some time when he can do so to spe cial advantage. But as all the other rations want to do the same thing it is probable that nothing will be done •about it at this time. NEWS At the meeting of the Rotary Club on Wednesday, December 16th, J. P. King, Editor and Proprietor of the Augusta Daily News, speaker of the day, hastily read the fallowing paper. Mr. President and Brother Rota- rians. It is now my turn, and it is my dis tinguished honor—would that I might say it was my pleasure—to address you. I am in a sad predicament. I am told that I must talk to you about my own business. The first principle of my business is not to talk, and the second not to mind my own business. And that is really all that I have to say. Consequently, being today in the capacity of public orator—I shall pro ceed. The subject of this discourse, as given out. in the advance notices, is NEWS. There is an impression in the minds of the majority of people that this subject bears some unde termined relation to the profession of Journolism. Far be it from me to wish to dispel this illusion. But, as a subject for a short paper, the term news is difficult. I know of so little to say that I might write a long es say. Consequently let me abandon it for the moment and leave it for the "In Conclusion" paragraph at the end when the ten minutes is nearly up. Meanwhile, with yapr forbearing in dulgence, 1 shalTafttmpt to give you some insight into the life of the la borers on these daily journals which, with your indulgent forbearance, w^ shall call newspapers. You all, no doubt, think of a re porter as an affable, bumptious and unprincipled young man with a pen cil behind his ear, always on hand when anything is on foot, who spends his time asking apt and pertinent questions, or, as the case may be, impertinent, and writing down the answers in a book. You think of him as arising out of the very ground on the scene of a murder, catching the first frantic cries of the widow, and interviewing the murderer before he has time to wipe his razor. It is not true. You do us grave injustice. Reporters are a set of calm, serious-minded and liesurely young gentlemen who move about with great dign'ty and never arrive until everything is all over. They are very tardy and ponderous persons. They sometimes do not arrive much ahead of the police. A reporter never sees anything happen. (I once saw something happen, but I've forgoten what it was.) And as for murders— the only ones at which reporters are ever actually present are their own. For a reporter's death is usually both violent and tragic, though his life is sad and uneventful. Statistics show that 91 per cent, of reporters who are not murdered before the age of thirty commit suicide. The other 9 per cent, having reached the age of thirty, are usually either so hardened or so broken that they become 'editors and spend their declining years in re tirement and obscurity, hedging them selves in behind the pronoun WE. whereby they wade popular vegeancc by seeming to be on the side of the public. A small percentage of reporters who survive are claimed by drink or go into the army; some have been known to become playwrights or even successful business men, while a few of course, the exceptional cases, dis grace themselves in other ways. The life of a reporter during the years of stress is full of labor and humiliation. For an afternoon paper his daily programme is as follows: He arises early in the morning and goes to the office where first of all, he has to read the morning p_aper. Then, with the aid of a telephone and a typewriter, he has to g'et to work and correct all the mistakes. This usually takes until about noon. Then he puts on his hat and goes out, visiting the police, the county sheriff, the railroad offices, the hotels, the hospitals and the magistrates, everything except the saloons and the poor house, at each of which places he has, every day, to think of a diff erent way of asking if there is any thing doing. For he is expected al ways to be lively and sprightly. Then when he has been told that there -is nothing doing, he is asked, always in the same words, what the news is, and he has to think of a different way of saying that there is none. And this brings me back to the stalling point, NEWS: News is of various kind». ,There is War news, Society news, (which should by the way have been men tioned first); Local news; and True news. Of these the last is the most important, but it is usually considered and treated under the head of Un printable news. One thing and an other happens to make it so. Say, for instance, that a gentleman in high repute and position commits some infamous and dastardly outrage, which not infrequently happens. First the most hefty of his brother», clutching a long club, comes to the office to intimidate us into not print ing the name. After he is scorned and ejected from the office, the man's wife's mother comes, bringing all his little children, and pleads with us brokenly not to -cut an eternal blot on the escutchceon of her daughter's husband. When this good lady has been sent away with gentle but un complying firmness, and the story is all set up in type, this is what hap pens. A hurried telephone call comes from the business office to acquaint us with the fact that the gentleman in question is a large stock-holder in I dont know what companies and corporations, all of which are exten sive advertisers. And tlie follow ing is what comes out in the column which is called Feminine because it is full of guile: The many friends of Mr. Montague De Forest regret to learn of his in disposition. He left Augusta yester day for a tour in Europe, where he will spend some time in Aix, Wies baden and Karls'bad for the benefit of the baths. I thank you. THE AUGUSTA DAILY NEWS Are Y«u A W«man?

I learned afterwards, on good authority, that he could not write his name, but had to affix his (X) to his check. "A dramatic story," you say? Yes; ibut there's real tragedy in the illiter acy that has been the blight on the ru ral sections of our state—especially in our mountain districts where we find that so pitifully few of the white adults can read or write! The Georgia Federation of Women's clubs has, since its organization, stood for education, -and all local clubs work for educational betterment. As a body, by unanimous action sev- ,en years ago, we centered our educa tional endeavors upon our Tallulah Falls Industrial school. From the first it has been our purpose to build, in time, "The Model School" of the state. Progress has necessarily been slow be cause we prosper and grow only in pro portion to the help given us by the clubs and our friends. Our school is now chartered and has met all the re quirements for standardization. Its average is much above that of the or dinary standard state school, but until now we lacked two points of the re quired specifications, viz., cloak closets and a sanitary drinking fountain. Tkliss Letter's Work. Last year was my first as director of oar school. Many of you are aTvare of the anxieties and difficulties we en countered and overcame. The princi pal "who had served the previous year resigned one week before the school opened to be married; the second prin cipal was forced to resign because of a threatened illness of a serious na ture. We were fortunate in securing Miss Lester, who agreed to fill the place for the remainder of the term. Not- Withstanding these discouragements at the outset, the year ended satisfactorily, thanks to the ability, interest and de votion of Miss Leter. One hundred and five of the two .hundred and seventy-four clubs be longing to the State Federation con tributed to the support of the school •the past year. Nine others pledged $50. The total sum contributed was $1,775. It may interest you to know that the -.Association for Education of Georgia (Mountaineers of Savannah and the At- llanta Woman's club gave about half of ithis amount, namely, $872.92. To the Savannah association and Mrs. Morgan, jthe .inspired president, and the edu- icational committee of the Atlanta IWoman's club, led by the able chair- jman, Mrs. Spencer Atkinson, and Mrs. McGovern, president, we express our 'sincere appreciation. The total maintenance fund, from all sources, amounted to $2,304.08. Total for scholarship fund was $872.29. Last fall a full report was not made of all monies sent me by Mrs. Lips- comb, as checks were received from her during the convention, after my re port had been made. In consequence, our published reports did not agree. Counting scholarships, maintenance and 'endowment funds (the latter of $216.) -she turned over to me $1,029.«4. Our school is a county line school, and receives county school funds. Until 'last year the sum total from both coun- ities was $150 a year. The past year, Rabun county alone, because of local tax, paid $289. Habersham county paio the usual $75, with the promise of $30 additional. All mils Paid Promptly. - Our teachers were paid regularly and, when our bank account warranted, all bills were were paid promptly. Much of the time I was kept in sus pense and on the ragged edge of de-, spair, but finally, when the school closed, all bills were settled and $25 was left to the maintenance fund, and $50 to the scholarship fund to oegin. the coming year's work. Over $6«0 was spent for absolutely necessary improvements and equipment for both buildings. A small barn was built; the roof of the cottage repaired at a cost of $83, and the walls of both buildings were tinted. Mr. Louis Magid presented a beauti ful young Jersey and the apple trees for a small apple orchard; our chil dren prepared the ground, planted the trees and built a wire fence around the orchard. Three heating stoves for the classrooms and a car of coal, a large fireless cooker, a sewing machine and all necessary equipment for the model cottage and the school were purchased. A beautiful school victrola, a large school clock and framed and suitable pictures for the schoolrooms were pre sented by friends. We are indebted to many of our Atlanta merchants and to the following large corporations for their uniform kindness and generosity to our school: The Southern railway.

Rutherford, the president, presiding. Minutes of last meeting were read and report made by Miss Basiline trince, secretary and treasurer. As treasurer of the John Gerdine In- urmary fund she stated that $113.95 nad been used for furnishing the present John Gerdine Infirmary room, leaving a balance of $134.84. As treasurer of the general fund, sne stated that after paying for a set of books for the Lucy Cobb library and incidental expenses for the asso ciation a balance was left of $180.95. Mrs. Florida Carr Orr, chairman of the Gerdine Infirmary fund, showed a blue print of the proposed addition to the main building to be used as the John Gerdine Infirmary. The drawing was executed by Capt. Bar- nett and presented by him to the as sociation, and a cordial vote of thanks was tendered him for bis gen erous gift. Mrs. Orr asked to be re lieved of the office of chairman, and Miss Eula Barrett was elected to fill her place. As the idea of the John Gerfline Infirmary was Mrs. Orr's, and the fund on hand thc result of her loving work, her resignation was regretfully accepted. Miss Prince asked to be relieved of the office of treasurer of this ' fund; and Miss Frances Cheney was elected in her place. Miss Brumby was asked for sug gestions as to how the alumnae can help the school. She suggested a lo cal association to meet monthly, hold ing its first meeting next October. She asked that the personal idea be eliminated, as the office of principal is temporary, and that the one idea be stressed that the alumnae work for the school, no matter who may fill the office of principal. She em phasized the fact that the school is great, not so much from its present work, but from those who have gone out from it. On being asked for something re lating to the financial status of tne Lucy Cobb, Miss Brumby stated that the trustees had found it absolutely necessary to borrow money to put the building in good repair. Mr. Jim Smith was the only one who was willing to lend the money, and at 8 per cent. Fifteen thousand dollars are still due, and it is feared the building may fall into the possession of his estate. This suggestion arous ed great interest, and the wish was expressed that the alumnae might meet the fifteen thousand dollar note and in part, become owners of their Alma Mater. The following officers were elected for the coming year: Mrs. M. W. Welch, honorary pres ident for life. Miss M. Rutherford, president. îîrs. Florence Long Bartow, vice president. Mrs. Ellen Hillyer Newell, vice president for Atlanta. Mrs. Dorothy Shannon Illges, vice president for Columbus. Miss Basiline Prince, secretary and treasurer. Mrs. Lucy woodall Nichols^n, Mrs. welen Carlton Mell, Mrs. Rosena Thomas Wier, Miss Eula Barrett and Miss Florence Hooper were appoint ed members of the executive board for the coming year. By unanimous vote it was decided to make the alumnae banquet an an nual affair. It was also voted unani mously to make Mrs. Katherine Tift Jones our orator for 1917.
