TO LEAVE MONDAY
UPON HIS VACATION
Rev. Allen Fort Going to North
Georgia to Rest.

Rev. Allen Fort, who has been con-
Quoting so successfully here this week
the tent meetings of the Business
Mems Gospel League, will go Monday
to north Georgia upon his vacation.
When he came to Americas from Dub
lin last week he had no intention Of
conducting meeting here, but rather
expected to be joined byhis sister, Miss
Floyd Fort in a trip to New York
The recent illness of Miss Fort rem.
dered her going away impossible, and
Mr.. Fort, while a guest at his mothers
home for few days, yielded to the
pressing invitation extended him by
the business men here to assist with
the tent meetings. How we'll he has
done this is fully evidenced by the
large congregations attending the
double daily services, and upon whom
this earnest and eloquent young minis
ter has made wonderful impress for
good. Mr.. Fort will go to Mt. Airy
or Tallulah for a brief rest before re-
turning to Dublin, his home.

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scien-
lists are unanimous in the cGnJ!iu-

years below that attainment possible
with the advanced knowledge of
which the race is now possessed The
critical period, that determines its
duration, seems to be between 80
and 60; the proper care of the body
during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then be-
ing fatal to longevity. Natures best

four Years of Escape.

CHICAGO, August S.-After Al
years service, in which time he
went through four serious wrecks
without injury, James H. Bonita, aged
62, the Oldest engineer on the Hi

locomotive boiler, twice running in
to an open switch and once falling
through the cab window while the
locomotive was running at full
speed.
Engineer George Abbott, of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rail-
road, on Sunday ran over three men

nearly 40 men, women and children

Order Makes Army Officers
Brush up In Horsemanship.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August s.
Army officers who seek promotion
are putting in their spare time per-
fecting themselves in the art of
Craftsmanship since the recent or
der of President Roosevelt requiring
examination in Craftsmanship for
promotion.
This order of the President, which
created little short of CONSERVATION
in army circles when it was issued
two months ago, is now being put
INTO effect. In compliance with this
order all officers below the grade of
major, who have been up for ex-
animation since August 1, are re-
quired to pass a special and strenu-
GUS examination in Craftsmanship.

BRYAN is GRIGGS' CHOICE
DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN SAYS WEST

Thinks Senators CulberSOn or Daniel,
or John Sharp Williamson, Will Do
if COmmOner Declines.

WASHINGTON, d. c., August S.
Chairman James NJ. Griggs, of the
Democratic Congressional committee,
was in Washington yesterday, at
tending to some matters at the exc
cutive departments for lis constitu-
nets.
At the Postoffice Department he ar
ranged for the establishment of an
other rural free delivery route in his
district down in Georgia, and now
practically all his constituents will
have their mail delivered to them
daily. Representative Griggs has lab
ored so assidously for the extension
of this service during the last ten
years that he is referred to at the
department as ''one of the fathers of
rural delivery" Speaking of Demo-
cratic national politics, the committee
chairman said:
Col Bryan will be our candidate
if he wants the nomination. The
West and South will be for him, and
even though the East may object
those two sections will be powerful
enough in the convention to overcome
its opposition. Should Mr. Bryan
conclude not to be a candidate again,
| think the South will probably fur
nish the nominee. We have some
excellent and acceptable men to
choose from, among whom are Sena-
tor Culberson, of Texas; Senator
Daniel of Virginia, and Representative
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi
1t seems to me that on account of his
standing with the Democrats of the
North Mr.. Culberson might be re-
garded as about the most available. +"
