Stonewa11 JacksOn's Grandson q
Ncat Pointer

eff oan place the name ol
Stonewall Jackson in the arm,
register l am going to do it,"
1t was in this way President
Roosevelt F..iday announced to u
delegation of Southern Congress
men that he intended 20 designate
the grandson OF the late General
Stonewall jackson. G. S. A., for
appointment TO the Military Acad-
my at West Point.
Among the callers at tie White
House were Representative Lon
Livingston, of the Atlanta district
and Prof. w. G. Woodland, of the
Georgia Military Academy. Tn,
object of their mission was to
request the President to appoint
Stonewall Jackson Christian, "a
grandson of the great Southern
soldier, to a cadetship at West
Point within the gift Of the Chief
Executive.
When the proposition was first
made to the Presid snt he said his
rule had been t. reserve those
appointments for the sons of men
who had served in the United
States army. When the President
was informed that the young man
was grandson OF the famous Sou
thern general, Stonewall Jackson,
and atso ono of the brigheat stu
dents at the Georgia Military Acad-
smy, College Park, Ca, the situa-
ton appealed to him in an entirely
new light.
During the conversation that en-
sued, the military career and the
high moral character of the lament
ed Stonewall Jackson were briefly
reviewed. So deeply was the Pres
ldent impressed with the subject
as presented, he remarked:
at has been the practice to give
his class of appointments to the
sons of army officers only, but |
nm going to make an exception in
his case. If | can place the name
If Stonewall Jackson in the army |
'egister / am gong to do it,"

Town Council Elects New Board
of Health

OF Healtn
The Town Council at the regu.
lar meeting Thursday night uc-
copied the resignation Of the old
Board of Health, which was offer
ed at the previous meeting, and
elected a new Board of Health,
with DR.. Robert Glasgow as chair
man and health officer. There was
full meeting present, as follows !:
Mayor Walker, Councilmen Deaver,
Irwin, Ofilighter, Penick, Stuart
and Wright and Clerk McClung.
When the matter of the resigna-
ton of the former Board of Health
was taken up, Councilman Penick
offered the following resolution,
which was adopted:
"Whereas, the members of the
Board of Health Of the town, at
the last regular meeting of the
Mayor and Council, rendered their
designations, and indicated that
they took such action because of
supposed lack of support by the
Mayor and Council, now therefore,
inasmuch as this body has been in
cordial sympathy with the Board of
Health and, as appears from the re
cords Of the town, has given said
Board of Health Its constant and
hearty support, be it
"Resolved by the Mayor and
Council, That this body disclaims
thatlt intendedby any ofitsactions
or omissions, to discredit the Board
of Health, and regrets that any OF
its actions have been construed by
said Board, as rejecting upon it
or its honorable chairman; and
"Inasmuch as members of the
Council have been advised that
the sction Of this body in reducing
the salary of the chairman of the
Board OF Health had been constru-
ed as a reflection upon him, the
Council disavOws such cOnstruc-
ton, as his salary was reduced in |
an attempt to put the salaries of |
the officers Of the town on more
uniform basis, and for that reaeon
alone, it being the sense of the
Council that his salary, together
with the salaries Of several OF its
other officers, is inadequate COM
peneatiLn for the services rend-
cred, because the town is under
the necessity of depending, to a
large extent, for such services
upon the patriotic spirit Of ito
citizens.
"The Council desires by this
resolution to place upon record its
grateful appreciation of the able,
efficient and patriotic services rem
dered by the Board of Health, and
to express its regret that they
should tender their designations,
which are hereby accepted
On motion the following Board
Of Health was elected to serve
until their successors are elected,
and the salary of the chairman
was fixed at $3.50 per annum; DR..
Robert Glasgow, chairman and
health officer, Col. Hunter perdle-
ton, Prof. u. q, Humphreys, Prof.
