the Confederacy. Mrs. A. B. Hull Of
Savannah, recently elected at the head
of the state organization, in Atlanta,
was named as a member of the COM
mittee of ladies from the state reunion
to be present at the dedication. but
was obliged to decline the honor.
Among the principal addresses was one
by Hon. Pleasant A. Stovall.
The building is located in Athens on
the State Normal School grounds, to
the left of the main building. 1t is
designed for dormitory, and contains
thirty rooms, capable Of accommodate
ing comfortably about sixty girls.
While it will be used generally for
the girls who attend the school, it is
intended that preference shall be CIV
en- daughters of Confederate veterans
who desire to be quartered in it. 1t
is handsomely fitted up with all mod
ern improvements. such as baths, cleo
trio lights, thorough system of plumb
ing, etc.
The building has not yet been fully

building. 1t was at first thought $15,-
900 would be large enough sum. but
when it became evident that $4,000
more would be needed the Daughters
were undaunted. even though they had
encountered the greatest difficulty in
raising the fund which they thought
would at first be required, and secured
the good offices of Mr.. Stovall, who
introduced the bill which provides for
an appropriation of $4,000 by the state.
1t was tedious and a praiseworthy
task. The handsome edifice, a picture
of which is here given, will ever stand
as a monument to the devotion and
self-sacrifice which prompted the
Daughters in their noble work.

The Winnie Davis Memorial, which
was dedicated to the noble purposes for
which it was built, with appropriate
exercises at Athens Friday, is one of
the handsomest buildings of it's kind
in the country. Without it's archi
tectural beauty, it will stand forever
as monument to the untiring efforts
of the women of the state, to whose
commendable zeal alone is due The
success of the movement to rear the
handsome edifice.
Chief among the contributors were
the Savannah chapter of the Daugh-

big grip full of papers, including docu- ments from the State Department at Washington and letters from the German and English consular officers in this city.
 MT. Hartridge adds to the romantic story of David O'Keefes adventures in the Oriental trade and his shipwreck on the Island of Yap, the interesting state ment that there may be contest for the property on the other side of the earth. When O'keete had become the King and ruler of Tap he proved himself to be man adaptable to circumstances in more ways than one. The court over which he presided did not long lack for first lady, and despite the fact that he had a wife and child in Savannah O'Keefe married by the rites of the island the best looking woman among his subjects.
 Of this union there was born at least one daughter. who should now be in the neighborhood of IS or 19 years old. Miss OKeefe, who lives here, is about 30 years old.
 The Asiatic daughter, according to Mir Hartridge, Is a beautiful girl and was the delight of her father. So fond was he of her that he took her to Hong Kong about five years ago to be educated in a convent in that city. At last advices re- ceived by Colonel Hartridge the girl was
 
 by no means certain that this girl will not make contest for the oKeefe es- tate, though Colonel Hartridge carries with him documentary evidence to prove that OKeefe's lawful wife and daughter are his clients in this city. Another feature made public by Colonel Hartridge Is that, notwithstanding OKeefe has been missing more than eigh- teen months. he will not be 'oficiaIly' l dead until the lapse of two years under the Spanish laws. which rule in the Car olines.
 OKeefe left will, which is in the pos | session of his agents, at Tap. but the | will cannot be opened until May 15, when | the two years will have elapsed. Colonel | Hartridge expects to be there at that time and to be present when the will is | opened.
 Should the will recognize the Savannah wife and daughter as the rightful heirs. there will be little for Colonel Hartridge to do, but should the Asiatic daughter be named as the heir Colonel Partridge will contest the will and fight for tho prop erty.

MT. Duncan Ross, proprietor of Ross's Barber Shop, under the Exchange Hotel, and enc of the best Ind most widely known members of the tonsorial craft in Montgomery, had a severe spell of Ia grip about six or eight weeks ago, which left him with a very weak back, from which he suffered constant pain. Friends told him of the wonderful curative prop critics possessed by Swamp-Root, and he reluctantly gave 1t trial. The first tws bottles relieved him entirely, and he is today in good health. In speaking of the matter to a reporter of The Advertiser a few days ago, he told the following interesting story of his case:
 About six weeks ago I contracted a severe case of la grippe, which left me with a weak back, which not only gave me constant pain and annoyance. but prevented me from attending to my duties as proprietor of Ross's Barber Shop. Par ticularly was my back troublesome on Saturdays, when I have to remain at the barber shop from early in the morning until midnight. For the past four or five weeks I have been unable to remain on duty at night, and, in consequence, no

only lost considerable business, but had to leave my shop in charge of an assist ant. I q read in The Advertiser several weeks ago a testimonial from my fellow tonso- rial artist, Mir. c. H. Kruegar, in which he spoke of having been cured of sim- liar trouble by Swamp-Root. naturally concluded that if it cured Mir. KYuegar, who was similarly affected to myself. it would do as much for me. This fact. coupled with the importunities of my friends, persuaded me to try Swamp Root. I purchased a bottle and before it was consumed, began to feel relief. I have just completed the second bottle and feel much better. My back Is stronger and I am ablo to attend to the regular routine of my business, remaining just as long as necessary.
 'T think the trouble in my back was due to disordered kidneys and liver. and know that Swamp-Root put them in thorough condition. believe Swamp Root is a great medicine, that it possesses great curative properties, and deserves all the good that can be said of it. ''Yours truly,
 DUNCAN ROSS.

 Thoughts on Hanna Bill.

Centerville Merchant Has Some
 Thoughts on Hanna Bill.
 Centervile. Feb. 1o.-(Special. )---Ed Kennedy, a popular merchant, Is devel- oping into quite financial adverturer in behalf of Southern prosperity. He has sent Congressman Underwood the fol- lowing letter:
 Conterville. Ala, Feb. 6. 1908. Hon. o. W. Underwood, Washington, D. C..
 Dear sir-It looks as if "brudder' Hanna is indisposed to sit idly by. and see the Rough Rider" carry off all the laurels along the line of the black and tan. While in some of our Southern States, the fact has been fully demonstrated that the negro is not very good instrument 10 use to draw chestnuts out for the hun gry public crib seekers, still his claws might not be entirely scorched off; there fore, as Hanna has left such a nice gap down, in his bill to pension the ne- gToes, l suggest that you amend in some thing like this: And for each pension granted. there shall be paid to the for mer owner, or his or her heir, a bounty of not less than five hundred dollars. and not to exceed fifteen hundred dollars The amount of bounty to be in equity of value to be determined by proof of the emancipated slave in the State in which he or his former owner resided in the year 1S60."
 While the ex-slave owners and their heirs can't afford to sit idle and walt for | any such crumbs of justice to fall to them, still it looks to them that Teddy" and Hanna are trying to practice eQues- trian feats. such as was said to have been lnaugurated and practiced by Billy Ma hone of Virginia, and if such is the case, why should we poor Southerners to some extent fall in line and try riding with the band wagon, though we be forced to dismount at the gate of the halls of Congress. While the pensionng of the negro would bring much money into the South. still we doubt the result for good. It would most likely result as did the insurance of rations in the days of re- construction; many quit work and lived from the public crib; 1t would give the South higher prices Cor what cotton it did grow.
 You might shoot them with some such amendment just to let them know that we watch and weigh 'em."
 Yours truly,
 Ed

 In the case of Lszzie B. Reeves vs. Ella A. Clancey, Judge w. H. Thomas. As sociate Judge of the City Court, presided on account of the inability of Judge Sayre to act by reason of a relationship exist ing between him and the defendant.
 The jury returned a verdict for the defendant.
 In the cases of Henry Kinney vs. Meyer l.. Griel and Griel Bros. Co.,, the plain tiff took a non suit Kinney was accused of being in the gang of burglars that about six months ago broke into the warehouse of Griel Bros. One of his as sociates was Josephine OBerg, who tes- tified against her accomphces and caused their conviction. She escaped from the penitentiary after her confession and conviction and is still at large.
 When Kinney was first arrested he as- stunned an air of injured innocence as at that time he saw no possibility of the confession of the O'Breg woman.
 Suit was flied against Greil Bros. and Meyer Grtel for causing his imprison- ment. The cases were called yesterday, but in each instance a non suit was taken.
