olution and who was connected with
some of the most distinguished fani-
lies of the state, such as the Bogerts,
the Schuylers and the VanDykes. Then
came Cornelius who still further en-
riched the purple strain of the family's
aristocratic lineage by his marriage to
Margaret Barnhill, whose grandfather,
Thomas Potts, was an eminent Scotch
Irish patriot, who represented Penn
sylvania in the continental congress.
Then came Theodore Roosevelt, faith
err of the President.
The Presidents Mother.
Martha Bulloch became acquainted
with the elder Roosevelt on one of her
frequent visits to New York, and fall
ing in love with the thrifty Dutch
American merchant-for such he was
she subsequently became his wife.
Shortly after the formation of this
happy union the younger Roosevelt,
who was destined in later years to
become one of the foremost figures in
American public life, was ushered into
existence. There are hundreds of peo-
pie in Georgia who remember the Vice
Presidents mother we'll and who cher
ish many pleasant recollections of her.
The Vice Presidents Georgia progen-
itors sprung from the sturdy band OF
New England Puritans who settled in
Liberty county, Georgia, in 1852. and or
ganized what has since been known in
the religious traditions of this state as
old Midway Church. They came or
iginally from Dorchester, Mass, ana
first settled somewhere in South Caro-
lima, but not liking the place, they
crossed over the Savannah river and
came into Liberty county, Georgia,
where they found the situation much
better. They were settlers who lived
up to rigid standards of piety and who
believed in placing education second
only TO religion. They sent off to New
England for the most efficient minis
tiers whom they could get to serve them
and among the number who came from
time to tome was DIR. Abiel Holmes. the
father of oliver Wendell Holmes. DR..
Holmes served the congregation of Old
Midway Church from 1885 to 1891, and
when he returned to his home in the
North he left many sore hearts behind
him. Such was the intellect as well as
the moral vigor which the congrega-
ton of Old Midway Church infused in
to the life of the state that from the
roins of the settlers who laid its found
dalton broad and deep in 1852 have
sprung some Of the nations most dis
tinguished men in every line of life.
A SON of the Revolution.
President Roosevelt became a
member of the Society of the
Sons of the Revolution of the
State of Georgia shortly after
it's organization in 1891. He had
no difficulty in showing his right 10
membership. Although he is a member
in good standing he has never at
tended any of the annual meetings of
the Society, though he has been twice
invited to respond to toasts on these
occasions. The members of the Geor-
gia Society now have hopes, however,
of entertaining a President who will
at the same time be member. at one
of their anniversary dinners of the not
distant future.

Chatham Academy, or the major por-
ton of it, was destroyed by fire on
the night of Dec. IS, 1899. The event
is we'll remembered by the people of
savannah. The work of rebuilding was
begun Dec. l, 1900, upon plans prepared
by Architect Henry Urban, after
lengthy consideration and discussion by
the two boards interested. Yesterday
1t was pronounced complete by the
trustees, who received it from the con-
tractors and in turn handed it over to
the Board of Education.
The building as it stands to-day rep
resents an outlay of $64,S00. Of this
amount the contractors receive $50, 700
the cost of plumbing and heating is
$4,000 and paving sidewalks about 81, 100.
Its construction is of a very substantial
character and the building is one which,
barring incendiaries and earthquakes,
may last a century. The trustees have
already placed a sufficient amount of
insurance on the building to guard
against loss by fire, but hope not to be
called upon to undergo the labor of re-
placing the present building until Sa-
vannah shall have far outgrown her
present school needs.

Reasons For a Divorce.

The Druses sometimes divorce their
wives for apparently the most trivial
causes. Thus a man named Soleiman
Alfalfa had a wife. Isbakyeh. The wo-
man frequently worked for us, and on
several occasions l had to complain
that she talked too much and worked
too little. At length I was obliged to
tell Soleiman that owing to his wife's
laziness 1 could employ her no longer.
Shortly afterward 1 went to England.
On my return after a couple of
months absence 1 was surprised to
find that SOleiman had divorced Isbak-
yeh and had already married another
woman. On inquiring from him the
cause of this he replied, "Your honor
told me that you would not employ my
wife again, SO 1 thought 1 would get
rid of her and marry another woman
whom you would employ. BLACK
