William H. Baldwin, Jr., president Of
the Long Island railroad, a member OF
New York's famous reform committee OF
fifteen, and one OF the most important
factors in the Athens convention. Sun
day morning inspected the Georgia School
of Technology. At the conclusion OF his
tour of the buildings. Mr.. Baldwin re-
ouested Captain Lyman Hall, the presi-
dent of the school, to furnish a written
statement OF the needs of the institution.
That, II is believed indicates that II Is
the intention of Mr.. Baldwin to recommend
the school favorably to the committee OF
which he is a member.
From hints given by Mr.. Baldwin and
because of the manner in which contribu-
tions have been made in the past. 1t Is
believed that If donation is made to the
Georgia School of Technology 1t will be
upon condition. that a similar sum be
raised from other sources.
Mr. Baldwin expressed himself freely
upon the educational movement in the
south to Captain Hall and Professor Fur
low. He stated among other things that
he would like to educate the whites of
the south as well as the blacks. He be-
lieved the education of the whites would
teEd to elevate the negroes. Mr.. Bald

ton to be the only kind Of schooling that
benefits negroes.

ADAMSON DID NOT
ENDORSE COL. ESTILL

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 2s.-Rep-
resentative Adamson. of Georgia, is very
much annoyed at the publication of an
alleged interview in the Savannah Morn
ing News. which reads as a very adroit
jolly for Colonel Estill.
Mr.. Adamson says II does injustice to
his position, conduct and statements. Mr..
Adamson is reported, he evers, without
his consent or knowledge, as coaching
Colonel Estilrs candidacy and prophecy
ing Estilrs success in the fourth district
He says as a matter of fact, he has never
heard that Colonel Estill was making any
inroads on the fourth district and has
never said so.
In truth, while a lifelong friend and
supporter of Mr., Terrell. Mr.. Adamson
has been constantly engaged in his off1-
cial duties and has had neither time nor
disposition to try to impress his views and
preferences on others. He had refrained
from public utterances on the guberna-
torlal race for the further reason that
there are people in Georgia who would
resent and rnisrepresent his advocacy of
Terrell as readily as they would have
any report indicating his failure to sup
port Terrell, in as much as the incident
forces him contrary to his own inclination
to a statement. He says he has no rea-
son to doubt that Mr.. Terrell will carry
overwhelmingly counties in the fourth
district and adjacent thereto.
He feels justified under the circumstan-
ces in stating further that from an init
mate acquaintance for twenty years with
the sterling qualities, great ability. stain
less character and never failing Democ-
racy Of J. NJ Terrell, he is not surprised
that others who know him support him
for governor.

Paine's Celery
Compound
ExpeIs All Winter Impurities
and Poison from the Blood
and Builds Up the En-
tire System.
AN ASTONISHING PROOF OF
BLOOD CLEANSING AND RESTo-
RATION TO COMPLETE HEALTH.

True health can only be maintained by
keeping the body free of acid and sluggish
blood and morbid waste matters. The
blood that is pumped through the heart
to all parts of the body. carries nourish-
ment and health, or poison and the seeds
OF dealth.
Close confinement in badly ventilated
offices, stores and workshops during the
winter months, has lowered the vitality
of tens of thousands. Poisons and impu-
rifles have been implanted in the blood (;
these agents of death must be expelled If
health would be maintained during the
coming summer.
The month of May should be renovating
and building up time with the vast army
of weak, debilitated, and broken down
men, women, and young people.
If the work OF purifying and vitalizing
the blood be longer deferred, eruptions,
blotches, sores, eczema, scrofula, erysip-
elias and other dangers are sure to be your
portion. .s.-
