ALUMNI president LAW
Made q Strong Speech In the Interest OF
the A. snd N. College Before
the Houston College Club.

The Houston Post OF yesterday
contained nearly a column article
relative to the official visit and adj
dress of Mr.. +. NJ. Law before the
Houston A. and NJ. College Club
in that city Thursday night. Mr..
Law was warmly received by the
membership of the Club and spoke
at considerable length in the inter-
est OF the new Club work in behalf
of the College. He compared our
own institution to those of other
states, dwelling upon its meager
support and crowded condition;
referred to present necessities
which have been laid before the
legislature by the College authori-
ties, also to other pressing needs;
made a plea for enthusiasm in the
movement and for active work in
the dissemination OF information
about the College; spoke OF the
popularity of the institution and
the aid of the press; declared that
the institution should have an at
tendance of 1000 students in ten
years. and dwelt upon the success
which A. and NJ. boys have almost
without exception achieved.
Plans are on foot for a great
gathering of the Alumni at the
College in June, when the consti.
tuition will probably be amended
to admit ex-students to the associa-
ton. II has been proposed that a
cup be given to the Club having
the largest percentage OF members
present at the June meeting and
the Houston club may come after

work, when completed, will add very
greatly to the appearance, and largely
to the convenience of the travelling
public. I have in contemplation the
grading Of other places in the town,
which, I think, will add to the looks
and convenience of the streets.
l also wish to improve our public
wells by building nice well houses
and the installing of good pumps and
watering places. These improve
ments will add to the convenience of
the general public. / also think we
should spend some more money on
the park. l understand the ladies
have some $4,000 in bank, which l
would recommend be spent in build
Ing a close fence on the line next to
the negro settlement, and that the
Gown do some other improvements on
the park lot. think 1t advisable
also for the town, in the near future,
to look out for and purchase other
parks, as nothing adds more to
town than nice, well-kept public
grounds.
The location Of our town, fronting
the railroad, in my opinion, is unfor-
tunate, and Objectionable. The accu-
mutation of lumber, shingles, other
refuse, and doty warehouses not only
present a bad appearance, but, in my

LADY GoDIvA's RIDE.
Actress in Flesh Colored

Coventry. England, August o.
Mounted on a white palfrey and de-
corously clothed in masses of hair,
pink neshings and clouds of gauze. a
modern Lady Godiva to-day gave a
| representation OF the historic ride
| through the city's streets.
Coventry has been Lady Gofliva mad

procession, last witnessed in 1887,

who desired strict adherence to ira
dition. even to the nudity of Lady
Godiva, but the antl-nudists effected

celf in groups of living statunry, vas
engaged to represent the historic
benefactress Of Coventry. The ac-
tress, who Is said to have complained
that she could make half a dozen
summer frocks out Of gauze she was
compelled to wear, took an hour and
a half to arrange her trailing hair
and long draperies and then special
committee had to approve of her cos
tune before Lady Godiva was per-
mitted to take ', her place in the
pageant. Many Of the local clergy
who had been preaching against the
feshings as being suggestive of nudi-
ty left the city temporarily, but most
of the people of the county and
eighty to one hundred thousand from
the outside had a sight of Lady Co
diva as she traversed the six mile
route and Of the splendid pageant Of
which she was the central figure. ."
Lady Godiva, who flourished about
the middle Of the eleventh century,
was the wife OF ieofrio, Earl of Ches-
ter. She was a woman of great beau
ty and piety and the benefactress Of
many churches and monestaries. Ac-
cording to the legend, Lady Godiva
begged her husband to relieve Cow
entry of a burdensome tax and he
consented to do SO on condition that
she should ride naked through the
market place. This she did, covered
only by her long hair, and thus won
relief for the people. According to
some versions of the story the peo-
pie were commanded to keep within
their houses while Lady Godiva
passed and only one man, "Peeping
Tom," disobeyed, and he was miracu-
lously stricken with blindness.

service generally by the wreck at

weeks ago. The company states that
the reason the track was not c.ea red
in reasonable time was because Of
the breaking Of the wreck derrick

ty Of bringing another from Atlanta.
which was TOO small to remove the
debris. The wreck was to have been

To the Town Council Of Westmin-

desire to extend to you my thanks for
your cooperation and assistance in
administering the duties Of our town
government. I am thankful that we
all have enjoyed reasonable health,
and the town has not had any epi-
demic to contend with. am thankful
that there has not been any friction
In our body, but all have worked to-
gether for the best interests of the
town. You all know we had, In the
interests of the town, to inaugurate
some changes in town taxes and IL
censes, which l feared would meet
some opposition. But I am gratified
to report that the citizens have most
generally paid the taxes and licenses
promptly and willingly, and are ap-
proving our administration. We found
the town in bad condition generally,
and | have tried, to the best Of my
ability, to expend the towns money
for the most general good of all the
citizens. II is true we have only
commenced the improvements and
work on the streets. l hope to go on
and do such work as our means will
allow.

A GEORGIA oTTEz: FARM.
The Proceeds from the Pond will
s Probably Net $4,000 a Year.

Millen, Ga, August 13.-The latest
In farms is an otter farm, owned and
operated six miles west OF W'aynes-
vile, in Burke county, of this State,
by John o. Applowhite, an xpert far
mer, large land owner and progress
sive citizen.
Col. Applewhite Is one Of the best
anglers and trappers in the State, and
his handsome profits and success in
his capture of otters has been the
cause of his establishing the otter
farm. He has one and a half acres
walled in with 6-foot board fence, in
which is a beautiful pond, supplied
with an abundant flow Of pure waer
from one of the most magnificent ar
tesian wells in the country. Here he
has 1913 Of the fattest, sleekest otters
to be obtained from the waters Of
this part OF the State.
The otter farm is the wonder and
attraction of this section. People
visit It almost daily, and watch the
movement Of the handsome furmak-
ers.
In their wild life they are danger
GUS and ferocious. but in a short time
under the care of CoLApplewhite they
become as docile and affectionate as
a pet dog. Their keen and puick sense
of seeing, hearing and smelling and
wonderful amount Of animal instinct
places them easily at the head Of in
telligent animals.
1t is for this reason Col. Apple
white has so easily learned them
scores of tricks. 1t is intensely in
teresting to watch the pranks which
they are constantly playing.
The care OF the little farm requires
the constant " work Of two men whose
duty 1t is to supply them with fish,
fresh milk, bread, etc.
Col. Applewhite has not gone into
the farm for the pleasure alone for
the business end is really the hand
soonest of all.
The otter is the most prolific of
all aquatic animals, and next season
Mr.. Applewtite expects fully an in
crease of 400 for market. The furs
readily sell for $40 to $25 each, which
will give him an income Of $4,000 to
$4,000 on his venture.
Mr.. Applewhite has found by in
vestigation that the Hungarian otter
has the richest and highest priced fur
on the markets of the world, and is
busying himself In the importation of
fifteen male otters that he has recent
ly closed deal for, which will be
crossed on his natives. The fur from
one of these was known to bring the
fancy price Of 500. Mr.. Apple.
white is thoroughly enthused with
his venture AMI is confidens Of sue

tial country home in this county

opinion, are menace to the health of
our people, and hence an object for
the consideration of the Board of
Health. These reforms are needed.
and I hope sentiment will be Gre
ated In favor of a reform on this line.
There are other improvements am
working for, viz: A better passenger
depot, the boarding Of trains on this
side Of the main line, and better train
service or accommodation.
am also in favor of organizing
volunteer fire department We No
have some three dozen fire buckeEt3
and l have ordered some light lad
ders. This reform shouir meet our
hearty support and encouragement.
l am also glad to report that up to
this time the town has been annoyed
with but little drunkenness, and dis
orderly conduct, and I hope by ut
action on the part Of the marshal
and a strict enforcement of the law
to restrict these offences to the mini
mum.
am informed the railroad author
tiles are contemplating making some
changes In their terminal stations. I
think that the Town Council, with the
aid OF the citizens, should make an
oHort to induce the railroad company
to locate terminal station at Vest
minister.
Again, I extend you my thanks for
your cooperation and assistance in
the discharge Of my official duties.
