GEoRGIA'S YOUNG ORATORS.
DAHLONEGA WON CONTEST AT At
LANTA LAST NIGHT.

Noel w. Grant of North Georgia
Agricultural College Awarded
First Prize-Hatcher of Mercer
Was Second, johnson of Georgia
Third, Broom of Emory Fourth
and kicI<lightcr of the Technology
icaI Fifth-AtInnta Filled With
College students Who Witnessed
the University boys Victory over
the Auburn Team.
Atlanta, April 25.-Dahlonega won
the collegiate oratorical con-
test at the Grand tonight, the judges
deciding that Noel w. Grant of the
North Georgia Agricultural College
was the best of the five young orators
who spoke.
Second place went to Mercer, which
for the last two or three years has
held first place, and Sidney Hatcher of
that institution was awarded second
prize. Sam johnson of the State Uni
versity came third; Alfred c. Broom of
Emory fourth, and C. H. Kicklighter of
the Tech, fifth.
Walter S. Page, editor of the Worlds
Work, w. P. Trent of Columbia and
]. Il. Henniman of Suwanee were
Judges on composition; Hamilton
Douglass, DR.. G. w. Bull and Forest
Adair, all of Atlanta, on delivery.
The results was announced amid
storm of "rah rahs" from the DAN
loniega boys and their many friends
who occupied a conspicuous place in
the large audience.
The Grand was filed from top gall
cry to proscenium box, and standing
room was at a premium. There were
over $500 people in the theatre, of
whom fully half were college boys and
girls with their gay colored ribbons
and ready to- give their college yell at
the slightest provocation.
The city has been in the hands of the
college students to-day, there being
fully 1900 of them here. Nearly all
of them attended the Georgia Auburn
baseball game this afternoon, in which
Georgia won easily by a score of 10
to 0.
The best of order prevailed at the
Grand tonight, none of the disorderly
scenes of last year being repeated. The
bows were allowed several minutes
after each speech to give their yells,
which they did with an enthusiastic
and hearty good will.
The representatives of the different
colleges spoke on the following sub
jects, and in this order decided by lot:
THE Progress of Civilization"
Charles H. Kicklighter, representing
the Georgia School of Technology.
Social Unrest" Sam Johnson, rep
resenting the University of Georgia.
Humanity: It's Advent and Signii-
cance," Sidney Hatcher, representing
Mercer University.
Democracy INDICATED as a Govern
ing Power" Alfred C. Broom, repre-
senting Emory College.
THE Righting of a Wrong Noel w.
Grant, representing the North Georgia
Agricultural College, Dahlonega.
Prof. Thomas A. Trueblood head of
the Department of Oratory at the Uni
versity of Michigan, presided at the
contest.

Figure Named Department OF
Agriculture VIII Use the Funds fr
Conducting Experiments, Chiefly
in Georgia.
Washington, April 25.--The AgricuI-
tural appropriation bill, which will
probably pass the House tomorrow,
contains an appropriation of $4,000
for experiments to be conducted by
the department for the promotion of
the cane syrup industry in the South.
1t was at first believed that the conn
mission would only give $11 900 for this
purpose, but through the active work
of Representative Brantley, in which
he was assisted by the Southern mem
bers of the Agricultural Commission,
the amount has been fixed as above
stated. A series of experiments will
be conducted by the Department of
Agriculture for the purpose of secur-
ing information which will assist
those now in the cane syrup industry
and those who may so into it in push
ing forward that enterprise in a scien-
tific way. Secretary of Agriculture Will
son is very much interested in the de-
velopment Of the industry which he
believes promises fine results, especial
ly in Georgia. The greater part of
this appropriation, If not all of it, will
be expended in making experiments in
Georgia.

BETTER THAN MARCoNI SYSTEM.

GEN. Greedy Talks of Work of
weather bureau Experts in Wire
less Telegraphy.
Norfolk, Va, April 25.-Gen. A. w.
Greedy, chief of the United States
signal service passed through Norfolk
yesterday en- route to Washington.
Gen. Greedy has been on the coast
witnessing the experiments in wireless
biography being conducted between
Cape Hatteras and Roanoke Island,
sixty miles distant, by the experts IN
biography of the United States
Weather Bureau. The results of these
experiments are said to have been
eminently satisfactory to Gen. Greedy,
who thinks that the corps acting under
Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the
weather bureau, have developed for
the government, which obtains the
benefit of their discoveries free, a sys-
tenn of transmitting messages without
wires superior to the Marconi system.
Gen Greedy is enthusiastic over the re-
suits achieved by Profs. Fessenden
and Thiessen.

LESS CANDY.
better to Give Children Delicious
Food Than Candy.

Some foods will cure dyspepsia and
other foods will cause it. The safest
way to get we'll is to use the food that
agrees with the stomach and permits
Nature to go along in a thoroughly
natural way.

true way TO get well and keep well,
and that is by the use OF Grape-Nuts
Breakfast Food
For six years l suffered with indi-
gestion and palpitation of the heart so
that 1 could not sleep nights. | tried a
great many different kinds of medi-
cines and lot of different kinds of ce-
reals, but none of them helped me, and
my stomach seemed to get worse and
worse.
~ became very respondent and was
at a loss to know what to do. One day
l read in the paper that Grape-Nuts
Breakfast Food would cure indigestion
and build UP the body. 1 wondered if it
contained any medicine, but learned
that it did not, but that it was only a
food prepared so that the stomach
could easily digest it.
THE next time | went down town /
bought two packages. This was on
Tuesday, and it was all gone on Sat
urdsy, for we all liked it so much. So
I sent down and got three more pack

NO BASIS FOR AGITATION.
Sensational Talk Unwarranted, Says
J. u. Morgan, Jr.

London, April 25.--J. Pierpont Nor
gan. Jr., said to a representative of the
Associated Press this afternoon:
There has not been a single devel-
opment in the shipping trust since the
announcement of April 10. All this ag-
itation in England is quite unbiased.
We cannot transfer ships from the
British to the American flag, and what
is more, we have not contemplated it.
Some of the serious papers here are
certainly making a great fuss, but it
all appears to us to be very sensation
al journalism. We know of no oppo-
sition to the combine, and neither
know nor particularly care at the pres
ent moment what the Cunard and other
outsiders plans may be. In course of
time the agreement on which the trust
is based will be submitted to the stock
holders of the individual companies
concerned. But a good deal has got
to be done before that happens"

chance of a poor boy to go to college
is a fine thing, and he ought not to
be cut off from prearation at the pub

does not go to college outnumbors the
poor hoy who does ten to one. Why

gets? That is the Fundamental. point OF

After we have solved the merely physl-

which turns out schools enough and
teaches enough and gets the buildings
and repairs done in time-we shall
realize that the future Of the child
should be forecast during his early
years in the educational mills. Then we
shall have at least two divergent courses
of study, one aimed for the Teachers
Training School and the other planned
for the boy or girl who will leave school

COAL PROSPECTS

Coal mining in the anthracite region
will be resumed today, but it will prob
ably be a week ut least before the fuel
begins to arrive in Wilmington in APP
preciable quantities. The transporta-
tion companies. it is said, are prepared
to move in the shortest possible time
all the output of the mines, but the in
slant demand will be enormous. All
the yards Of the cities and towns which
at this season should be full, are quite
bare, and every householder is await
ing the first opportunity to replenish his
bin
There is under consideration the
proposition 10 increase the charge at
the mines by fifty cents a ton, and since
there will be no extra freight charges,
this should be the maximum increase
Of cost to the consumer. We presume
that ON the arrival Of the first consign-
ment the rule OF selling only small
quantity to each customer will pre-
vail Possibly. too, now that there is
a prospect OF a plentiful supply with
a consequent fall in prices, purchasers
will be satisfied with meeting their
temporary needsand thus the necessi-
ties Of ali may be provided for
Our local dealers declare that the fuel
will be given to consumers at the low
est possible rates, and we have no doubt
that they will carry out this promise.
