FURNISHING DISTRICT SCHOOLS
Principals to Make Out Lists of
Everything Needed.

Plans for the equipment of the eleven
district agricultural schools of the state
were decided On at meeting of the pur-
chasing agents of the different boards
of trustees, held in Governor Terrell's
office Monday morning, when COM
mittee was named to itemize the appa-
ratus needed and to ask for bids.
The committee which will have
charge of procuring the necessary
equipment is as follows: Senator j. n.
Holder, chairman; Prof. NJ. L. Dugger,
secretary; e. A. Copelan, of Green
county; D. w. James, of Tifton, and
Judge Warren Lott, of Waycross. The
committee will meet as soon as possible
and go over the situation and decide
on the various articles that will be
necessary, including equipment for
dormitories and apparatus for build
ings.
A resolution was adopted request
ing the principals of each of the schools
to furnish an itemized list of the differ
ent equipments that will be needed.
A resolution was also adopted thank
ing G. H. Jordan, manufacturer of
cotton planters for his offer to donate
two of the machines to each of the
schools.

CENTRAL TO REWARD AN EMPLOt BOASTS FNE FIELD OF COTTON
Thomas Gresham. Oldest In Service
to Get Pension.

Mr.. Thomas Gresham, for nearly a
half century a resident of Americus but
more recently of Macon, where he is
still in the employ of the Central Rail-
way, is soon to receive deserved
recognition for his long service of fifty
four years with the company.
Mr.. Gresham, ''Uncle Tom" his
Americus friends call him, began work
on the old South western before it was
completed to Americas and since that
time he has held his section without
discharge or reprimand.
He held the premium board when
this was a method of recognizing the
efficiency and faithfulness of section
foreman, to the last.
His friends point with much pride to
the fact that there has never in this
long period of time been a wreck on his
section that could be attributed to any
defect in roadbed. He is rs years of
age and still active.
During his service he has braved the
storms and the wild winter nights for
the sake of the passengers who travelled
over his portion of the line and has al
ways managed to preserve the proper
ty of the Central and the lives of the
passengers.
Plans are on foot whereby a pension
is to be provided for this servant of so
many years. The officials of the road
have the matter before them at this
time and in all probability they will
call him in from his arduous duties to
deserved rest.

Magnificent Yield of FIeeCy is Ex-
DeCted.

With the close of the fishing season
at Wells Mill where as a postmaster
in the art pisctorial he led the serried
ranks of discipales of lzaac Walton,
Judge LittlejOhn turned his talents to
agriculture, and with results calculated
to amaze the embryotic farmers of
Taylor street. AS a Roman warrior
returning from victorious fields of con-
quest and beating his swords into
pruning hooks, Judge Littlejohn beat
his fish hooks into ploughshares and
planted cotton. Under secret instruc-
tions from Farmer TomlLane, Farmer
JIM Williams and other horny-handed
habitiurs of the courthouse the Judge
nurtured his plants and they flourish
ed like the bay tree of tradition-yea
even as flourished Jonah's gourd and
the beanstalk of the fairy book.
Kissed by Nay breezes and famed by
June zephyrs, this cotton patch has
assumed groth prod1gious and is the
admiration of beholders who journey
here from distant realms to see it and
secure the Judges recipe. To see him
in the early morning, divested of
ermine and clad in overalls, inspecting
his broad acres and mentally calcu-
lating upon the yield of cotton, is
spectacle calculated to arouse emula-
ton in the younger generation of
Americus masculinity. The Judge
calculates that the cotton crop will be
ripe and ready for picking by the time
he returns from his summer outing at
Sautee, in the romantic Nacoochee
Valley, and experts from Tom Hud-
sons department of agriculture are
already figuring upon the probable
yield in bales.

Last night the topic of his talk was
''The origin and aim of the Christian
Church." Said he:
Origin and Aim OF Church.
"The Christian church is really the
American church. It was organized
on American soil and embodies the
principles of the American government.
after many futile individual at.
tempts to bring about stronger sentl-
ment of christian unity and love,
Thomas Campbell and his sympathizers
organized the Christian Association of
Washington, Penn, Aug. II, 1909.
Its purpose was to bring about a
unity of christians of all denominations
by rejecting all humanity constructed
creeds as of any divine authority and
returning to the original standard OF
the Word of God as the rule of faith
and practice and the Holy Spirit as
teacher and guide,
'The Association grew in numbers
and seemed to be another church or
sect. To prevent the formation of a
separate body of people, the members
tried to ally themselves with the Pitts
burg synod but were refused. A con-
ditional union was formed with the
Redstone Baptist Association but this
proved so unsatisfactory that the Dis
ciples or Christians were forced to be-
, come separate body about 1880 and
have remained so ever since.
''1'he party organized for the pur-
pose of reforming the churches found
restoration of the Apostolic church in
its principles and practice. Going back
to the foundation laid by the Master
! they have tried to build upon that g
church according to the divine ideal
! The Bible was restored to its place as
final authority to the church and ac
cord1ng to its direction the work wa:
organized and is carried on.
"By wearing the name Christian
which all can accept, and promoting
simple evangelical christianity fre'
from all mixture af human opinions
+! and inventions of men, the Christian
church hopes to be the means of bring
ing together the divided hosts of Coz
and thus help answer the prayer o
Jesus that they all may be one even a
He and the Father are one.''
This morning, from $3.50 to 1880
there will be a Bible study on the Hol.

to bring a Bible. These morning
studies will be held every day.

LA TOILETTE BOOM
STARTED BY BADGERS
Wisconsin Going to Endorse
Him for President
THIS GIVES HIM TWENTY-SK VOTES
Friends Say He Will bet Out of the
Race for One Man Only, the Un-
terrified Teddy--Warm
Times Ahead.
THIS GIVES HIM TWENTY-SN VOTES

Washington d. C. June 25.-Interest-
ing information concerning the plans
and ambition of Senator La Toilette
have been brought to Washington
from Wisconsin. The Badger State is
going to indorse the Senator for Rresi-
dent, and he will go to the Republican
national convention with its twenty-six
delegates behind them.
The Senator will throw this dele
cation to Roosevelt in the event the
President is willing to accept another
nomin Ltion. But if the President
adheres to the resolution he enunciated
be his party's candidate for another
term, La Toilette himself will make
determined effort to capture the
nomination.
This does not signify necessarily
that he would enter the race particu-
larly sanguine of winning, but it would
indicate at any rate that he
expects to be something of a factor in
the selection of the nominee. La
Toilette is, perhaps, too radical in his
views to suit majority of the tho u sand
men who will attend the convention
as delegates, but he will throw his
influence to some man who comedies
in some respects with his political
and economic ideas.
One thing, according to politician
now in Washington who is authorized
to speak for him, which La Toilette
will not do is to support any candidate
in whom the President is especially
interested. This may seem somewhat
paradoxical, but it may be explained
on the ground that the Senator, while
willing to vote for Roosevelt for
another term, holds a grndge against
him personally.
Said Pr sident ttknocked" n m.
He has toldthis intimate friends that
the President haB been knocking"
him, on the theory that he is an
extremist and would not be a safe
man to have in the White HoGse. La
Toilette has heard that Mr.. Roosevelt
has said some dispGraging things
about him on more than one occasion
and it is because of these alleged
derogatory remarks that he will be
against the Presidents personal can
d1date. La Toilette is about to start
on an extended lecture tour which will
take him in most of the States in the
Middle West. He will eXpOund the
governmental and economic doctrines
which he stands for and believes in to
tens of thousands of people. His tour
will be in the nature of political can
vass, and he expects it to prove
beneficial to him when the Republican
national convention meets.
Senetor La Toilette is in the hight TO
finish. He will be the Republican
counter irritant for William X. Hearst
and Will not be Jared by the prospects
of a defeat. His friends intimate that
he will get out of the race for one man
onIy-Theodore Roosevelt. He in
tends to be the leader of the new
political thought, and hopes, as does
Hearst, to ride into the White House
on the crest of wave of popular dis
content incident to haSd times that
he believes are sure to comes.

CoIleqe of Brazen Nose.

The odd name of Brazcn Nose Brase. nose) arises from combination of cir cumstances, some of which are among the most interesting features of the history of Oxford university. From the earliest period the members of the university and the townspeople were engaged in continual broils, breaking out sometimes into such violence that bloodshed ensued. The townspeople, however, appear to have had the best of it, and so again and again their an tagonists withdrew from the place and left Oxford without university. At one time Northampton was the place of their retreat; at another Stamford, in Lincolnshire. At this last named place were the remains of a Norman gateway belonging to one of the col leges thus established. On the door there was of old an iron ring fixed in a nose of brass, to serve the purpose of krocker, and the college became known through that feature as Brazen Nose. On the return to Oxford. which took place after little time. the mem- bers of the college took the name with them.-London Answers.

For the spectator there will be little to see be- yond number of faint gray linear objects like whetstones silhouetted against the sky. But each of these drab colOred objects is an airship which can easily carry from ten to fifty tor pedoes weighing from 110 to 165 pounds The havoc wrought by a small fleet of Zeppelin airships would be frightful. It could pursue the fast est battleship and send it to the bot tom. The battleship is at a terrible disadvantage. It is easily damaged from above. It has a speed of twenty five knots against a speed of nearly thirty knots possessed by it's adver- sary. Pursue the comparison to ques- tions of cost and of crew. The Patrie. costing SGO0OO. with a crew of three. and Count ZeppelIn's giant airship. costing S12J.OOO. with a crew of six. are each capable of annihllating a bat tleship. value S10.OOO.OO0. with a crew of nearly 1000 men.-Dr Rudolf Mar tin in London Magazine.
