TALK ON QUESTION
Of UNIVERSITY
-
Presbyterians Are Now
i'll Session in At
Ianta
MAY REACH AN AGREEMENT
Expected That it Will be Finally
Settled Whether or Not tie
Universities are to be
Consolidated

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 9.-Presbyterians
throughout the south are awaiting with
intense interest the outcome of the
! conference commenced in Atlanta tor
day, which will go far toward settling
the niol9nt controversy over the pro-
posed It uloval of the two centers of
Presbyte RAN education in this sec
tion of he country.
The agitation was commenced more
than a year ago, when Atlanta launch
cd scheme to capture two large un-
iversities, carry them away to Georgia
and establish a vast institution Of
learning valued at nearly $2,000,00O
and which would RAJ with the great
est universities of country.
The two uniyersil S in danger of
removal are the Col, ania Theological
Institute, located at Columbia, S. C.
University at-Clark lille, Tenn. The
first named univer~.ty is under the
control OF the Pres yterian SYNOD of
South Carolina, Flo nda and GeoI ia,
While the Clarksv Ie institution is
controlled by the syi DDS of Tennes ee,
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisnana.
Atlanta, which is Presbyterian
stronghold, proposed that the South
western Presbyterian University, val
ued at probably $750,000, and the Co
lumbia institution, valued at $500,00e,
should unite and come to Atlanta,
promising that the Presbyterians OF
this city and state should raise another
half million dollars, thus starting a
great institution worth nearly $1,000,
600.
The synods of Georgia, South Caro-
lima and Florida, controlling the Co
lumbia university, endorsed the pro-
posal, but a stumbling block was met
with when the suggestion was made
tc the synods controlling the South
western Presbyterian University. The
=. !
posed to the removal of the univer
sity from Clarksvile though the atti-
tude Of the synods Of Louisiana, Ala
hama anI Mississippi is believed to be
less hostile to the chcme.
The present conference is not de-
cisive in character, but is intended
merely to- consider the feasibility of
the plan, and then the ways and .
means. Il the conference decides that
lie scheme is feasible and practical
and that no moral or legal obstacles
are in the way, then the RESPECTIVE
synods viii be asked to ratify the plan.
This means that the fight will be pro
longed and that there will be further
heated agitation among southern Pres
byterian5 before final settlement is
reached.

MEMORY MENDlNG.
What Food Alone Can do for the Mem

Wnat Fooo Alone Gan DO TOR the Mem
ory.
The influence of food upon the brain
and memory is so little understood that
people are included to marvel at it.
Take person who has been living
On improperly selected food and put
him upon scientific diet in which the
food Grape-Nuts is largely used and
the increase of the mental power that
follows is truly remarkable.
A Canadian who was sent to Colo
rado for his health illustrates this
point in most convincing manner:
"One year ago l came from Canada
nervous wreck, so my physician said,
and reduced in weight to almost a
skeleton and my memory was so poor
that conversations had to be repeated
that had taken place only a few hours
before | was unable to rest day or
night for my nervous system was shat
tered.
"The change of climate helped me
a little but it was soon seen that this
was net at all what | needed. | requir-
ed the proper selection of food al
though l did not realize it until a
friend recommended Grape-Nuts tc
me and | gave this food thorough
trial. Then l realized what the right
food could do and l began to change
in my feelings and bodily condition
This kept up until now after 6 months

ALL SATISFIED
WITH THE RESULT
=
Tuesday Election Settled
Negro Voting in This
City
WILL BE BARRED IN FUTURE
Hereafter the Black Man Can Only
Go to the Polls and Ratify
Candidates Selected by the
White Primaries.

The result of Tuesdays election was
the topic of conversation in Brunswick
yesterday, and everybody seemed to
be of the opinion that the result sure
ly means that the colored man will
never have another vote in Brunswick,
only to ratify the candidates first Sc
lected by the white people.
Indeed, both political factions are
now strongly in favor of the white
primary system, and the following lit
tie campaign song was adopted by
both sides yesterday:
It's goodbye coon forever more,
Your voting days are surely DER,
You've had your chance, you will agree
But you've got all you'll get from
me.
The result was accepted by the
Citizens club in most admirable
manner and not a single member of
the club, who opposed the primary
candidates was heard to- express him
self against the white primary sys-
tenn
Everybody feels that the gentlemen
elected to council will serve in a
non-partisan fashion, in fact they were
elected as representatives of no polit-
ical faction, and tits believed that the
council of 1904 will be one of the best
Brunswick has had in recent years.
However, the victory of the primary
tIcRec IS not 20 tx yic-
tory. Indeed, some of the men who
have supported che Citizens club for
years past voted for the primary can
didates purely on the principal OF
white primary. A general good feel
ing almost to remarkable degree was
notable among both the old factions
yesterday and the general consensus
of opinion is that Tuesdays election
will have more genuine weight in blot
ting out old political scars than any
thing that has happened in Brunswick
in many years
AS stated in these columns at varl-
Gus times during the campaign the
four gentlemen who will be conduct
ed into council next month, together
with those holding over, will insure
an administr alton of public affairs
that will be most satisfactory to
the best interests Of the community.
Strange to say there has been no
scramble for any of the offices in the
git OF the coming administration
and there seems to be a general In
clination to let matters remain as
they are in a majority of cases.
On the whole the LEGAL political
situation is really and truly in better
condition than it has been in ten
years. IL-:-.

FLORAL PILLOW FROM SCHOOLS

Children Were Dismissed Yesterday
to Attend Funeral of DR.. Burford.
The children of the public schools
were assembled yesterday in the audi
to-ium of the school building, prior
to- being dismissed at II o'clock to
attend the funeral of DR.. Hugh Bur-
ford, member of the school board and
one of the most prominent and we'll
loved citizens of Brunswick.
A beautiful floral pillow, joint offer
ing of teachers, pupils and members
of the board, was shown to the chill
dren and then sent to the home of
DR.. Burford. Mr.. Ballard, in showing
the Offering, spoke feelingly of the
loss sustained by the schools, through
the death OF one of its strongest up
porters and truest friends; and Mr..
A. V. Wood, in few well chosen
words, eulogized this great and good
man, whose place cannot be fielled.
MI Stewart, OF Athens, who is visit
ing in the city in the interest of the
schools, followed Mr., Woods remarks
with a short talk and impressed the
children thoroughly with the beautiful
illustration that "it is not how long
we live but how WELL" and that some
times the shortest lives are really the
longest inl widespread influence.
In the death of DR.. Burford the
school has sustained an irreparable
loss and nowhere will his kind and
helpful influence be missed more than
by the children and the teachers of
the school and by the board of edu-
cation, of which he was faithful mem
Der.

ARE WORKING FOR

=
Friends OF Roosevelt Want
to Cut Down Southern
Delegates
roosevelt Men Know Southern Re.
puoIicans are fer Hanna, and
Will Push Scheme to Check
mate the Senator.

Washington, Dec 9.-Are tba 20.
pupIlcans of the southern states in
danger Of destruction as the result Of
president Roosevelt and Senator Han.
ma? Many OF them fear SO, and tbev
are now locking to Washington in
the hope of ayerting what to them
would be serious disaster.
Coincident with the breaking our Of
the present trouble comes the mn.
nouncement of revival of the Old
scheme to SO change the representa-.
ton in the republican national con.
Ventlon as to cut the southern dele,
cation down to almost nothing. while
the delegation from the heavily repub-
llcan states would be greatly augu-
mented. 1t is not new scheme. but
there has seemed to be no life to it
until the present unheaval which is
causing such excitement in republican
ranks. Now the suggestion comes
from New England member of the
committee that in its call tor the next
national convention the committee
should change the basis of representa-.
tion from the congressional representa-
ton as it now is to a plan under whic
each state shall be given one delegate
for each 10000 republican votes cast
in the last presidential election.
Favored by Roosevelt Men.
What particularly worries southern
republicans at this time is that the
men who stand sponsor for the propo-
sition to change are almost entirely
Roosevelt men, and they fear that
the influence OF the administration
may be thrown in favor OF the new
plan.
Heretofore Senator Hanna and his
friends have been the best friends OF
the southern republicans and have
prevented the adoption OF this plan,
even When il has been advocated and
supported by such strong leaders as
Senator Quay ana Postmaster General
Payne. While Senator Hanna is still
opposed to the change and will fight
it, it is feared that resentment to
wards the Onioan for his present at
titude in relation to the president
may influence the Roosevelt support
ers to array themselves in its favor
as rebuke to Hanna. The Roosevelt
men realize that if Hanna should be-
come even receptive candidate for
the nomination, nothing cGMld prevent
the southern delegates docking to
his Standard.
South is for Hanna.
The Roosevelt Office holders in the
southern states would be po&erless to
prevent a stampede TO Hanna.
Southern members OF the national
committee and other southern repub-
licans are 1ocking to Washington to
use their influence with the admininis-
tration leaders to prevent their sup
porting tn eresoluti@m Which will be
presented to the committee by Judge
Brayton. the member from Rhode Is
land. TO accomplish their end they
are promising no end of southern sup
porters to President Roosevelt They
have summoned their friends from
all parts of the country and propose

BARN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

The large barn of John ]. Jirak of
Jackson township, Winnesheik county,
was struck by lightning Monday eve-
ming and burned to the ground to.
gether with q machine shed and hog
house. The barn contained about 100
tons of hay. 400 bushels of oats, q
cream separator, a number of sets Of
harness, fly nets, etc., while the
machine shed contained two binders
and all his farm machinery, except
one pillow that he was using the day
before. The barn was 4Sx66, Is feet
high, and was comparatively new hav-
ing Keen built but few years. Mr..
Jirak was successful in getting all
the stock out of the barn but was IN
able to save anything else. The loss
which is estimated at about 90, 200 is
a severe one to Mr.. Jirak. The in
surance is about $1,000. We under
stand Mr.. Jirak will erect another
barn on the former site in the near
future. -Lawler Dispatch.

Joe Morcombe, we'll known Iowa

Joe Morcombe, a we'll known Iowa
newspaper man, has been rendered a
position with the Turkish government
through that country's minister at
Washington, and will accept the post.
1t will be his duty to represent,
through the American press, the true
conditions existing in the Ottoman
empire. 1t is claimed by the Turkish
representative in this country that
distorted and incorrect reports come
from Macedonia, and that to correct
the wrong impression gained by the
American public, Turkish represen-
tative is needed. Mr.. Morcombe will
enter on his duties this fall, and ex-
poets to leave for Macedonia in a few

with the Cedar Rapids press, and he
is one of the best posted Masons in
the country, having been connected

A NEW SNAKE YARN.

Here's a big one, but Mr.. Lam
phier and the whole threshing gang
say it is the truth. Mr.. Lamphier was
at work threshing at Streicher's last
week when the big sleeves that are 90
inches square became so clogged that
the grain could not get through them.
He stopped the machine and the read
er may imagine that the entire crew
were little surprised to find the sieve
so completely filled with snakes that
not a single kernel of grain could get
through. 1t is supposed that the
snakes crawled up in the bundles to
get out of the heat. They were chop
ped up in great shape and the species
that predominated were blue racers
and garter snakes Arlington News.
