Y. M. c. AS ANNIVERSARY.
Many Prominent Speakers to Take
Part i'm 1t Oct. 27.

The Y NJ. c. A. is preparing to cell
citrate Oct. 81, it's fifteenth anniversary
since reorganization. and the close of
the most prosperous year in its his
tory. The celebration will differ from
those of former years, in that it will
be held simultaneously in most of the
prominent churches of the city at the
hour of the morning service. In each
case the report for the year of Mr.. w.
B. Stubbs, the president, will be read
by one of the directors of the associa
ton and will be followed by an ad-
dress on the association and it's work
by some of the best known associa-
ton men in the country.
Among them are Mr.. Cecil L. Gates,
international secretary for the South.
with headquarters in Atlanta; Mr.. j.
V. Read, state secretary of Georgia,
also of Atlanta d. E. Luther, general
secretary of Atlanta; Mr.. E. S. Nc
Fadden, general secretary of Macon,
and Mr.. A c. Bridgeman, general sec
rotary of Columbia.
Others that have been asked who
may speak on the occasion are ex-Gov.
William J. Northen. Hon. John Tenn
pie Graves, Mr.. H. o. Williams, inter-
national secretary of railroad work,
headquarters at Richmond: Mr.. H. F.
Williams, state secretary of Alabama,
Louisiana and Mississippi, headquar-
tiers in Birmingham; Rev. J. T. Punk
EFT of Augusta, and Mr.. F. L. Mallory,
a prominent business man of Macon.
meeting of the voting members of
the association will be held Oct. 20 for
the purpose of electing a new board
of directors. Candidates for the board
will be proposed by a nominating COM
mittee. of which Mr.. f. X. Demmond
is chairman. After this business is
disposed of the ladies of the auxiliary
will serve a supper to the members.
It is hoped to have some of the speak
ers that take part in the anniversary
celebration remain over for this occa-
sion and address the meeting on topics
connected with the association.
Secretary II. NJ. Johnson hopes soon
to start again a series of talks by
prominent citizens on Life Work" A
number of such addresses were made
last season and proved most interest
ing and instructive.
The first of a series of exhibitions to
be given during the winter months will
take place Nov. 49,. The gym mem
bers are now practicing hard for it
and will. without doubt. make a most
creditable showing. The events will
be class evolutions, dumb-bell drill.
Indian club drill, class work on ap-
paratus. diving for distance, flying
rings, running high kick. elephant
race, wrestling, work on German horse
pole vault, tumbling, pyramids and
spring board dive for hight.

duly drawn and summoned, and they
would have to serve.
One case was that of Mr.. J. P. Will
liams. Mr.. Williams was inspired with
a desire to get away but it was no go.
Mr.. S. B. Adams arrived on the scene
and argued his case before Judge Sea-
brook, in chambers. but the Judge said
that Mr.. Williams would have to serve.
That wasn't all of it. After the jury
in the murder case had been selected,
the jurymen who didn't care for the
service expected that they would be re-
lieved for the day, at least, but in this
happy hope they again found them
selves mistaken. Judge Seabrook di-
rected them to report for duty at 4
o'clock in the afternoon, and at that
hour they were all on hand. They
weren't looking particularly happy, but
they were there all right.
All of the unemployed jurors stuck
1t out until $50 o'clock, at which hour
the jury in the murder case retired to
make up it's verdict. There was an
other case scheduled for the day. and
it was this that had inspired the court
to keep the jurors in waiting. There
was a hurried conference between the
court and the solicitor general, when
it was concluded that there would hot
be enough time in which to conclude
this case before adjournment.
Jurge Seabrook informed the waiting
jurors that they were relieved until 10
O'Clock this importing. He said he was
sorry he had kept them so long, but
he couldn't have been half as sorry as
were some of those on the panel.

HIS SKULL FRACTURED.
John Lequeux Thrown From Horse

John Lequeux. the 11-year-old son of

skull was fractured and he was in
jure0 internally.
A patrolman on duty in the city mar
ket sent a call for the ambulance and
the injured boy was sent to the hospi-
tai for treatment. He rallied somewhat
and regained consciousness for a short
while. The improvement, however, was
only temporary, and young Lequeux
was unconscious when he died. The
remains will be removed this morning
to the home of the boys parents, on
Thirty-second street.
The funeral will take place at
o'clock this afternoon from the resi-
dence, No. 122 Thirty-second street,
