AMERICUS DELEGATES
AT CONVENTION
Agitation Following Recent
Secretaries Meeting.

Secretary Lemley, of the Young
Mems Christian Association, has re-
turned from the gathering of state
secretaries at Macon enthused with
what he saw and heard.
Mr.. Lemley was made Secretary to
the conference. In the discussion on
How We Can Make the State Execu-
tive Committee of more benefit to
Our Own Association" he was the
leader This was one of the most i'm
portant of the open discussions.
The state committee is composed
of representative members taken from
all associations of the state, and they
employ one or more state secretaries,
who travel over the state when neces-
sary and aid local associations in diff
fcult places.
Another important subject was that
of establishing a Southern training
school for secretaries. There are two
such schools in the North. 1t is like
ly that a similar school will be es-
tablished in Atlanta next summer.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
MAKES fine SHOWING.
Suggestion That Sign Be
Placed Near Railroad,

81 went out to the Third District
Agricultural College this morning"
said Mr.. Fred Arthur yesterday,
"and l must say that was delighted
with the appearance of the buildings,
the situation and the indications that
we are to have the model college of
the State.
"The buildings appear to be COM
pleted, that is, the main college build
ing and the one dormltory. | under
stand that another dormitory will
be erected in a year or two to meet
the demands on the accommodations.
The buildings certainly show up well,
no matter from what point you view
them. They make an especially fine
showing from the railroad.
cit was not possible to enter the
buildings, but from what could be
seen of the interior it is in keeping
with the exterior, plain, substantial
and thoroughly suited for the pur-
poses for which the buildings are to
be used.
"The rubbish is not yet cleared
away from around the buildings.
When that is gone the appearance
Two Good Suggestions
There are two suggestions that l
wish to make in the interest of the
institution, in which we all feel a
pardonable pride. They are:
First. Have large sign put up
down by the railroad, wherever the
depot is to be located, bearing the
inscription in as big letters as it can
stand: Third District Agricultural
College, This will be fine adver-
tisement for the college. Standing
where it does, where every day pas
senger on the Seaboard can see it
prominently before him, there should
be such sign to let him know what
the place it.
Second. Shade trees should be
put out at once. This should be done
this fall, and before it is too late.
Superintendent Collum might take
cognizance of this matter, if he is in
position to do so. An avenue of trees
leading dow Mt othe railroad station
would be a very attractive feature.
Then there should certainly be some
in the vicinity of the buildings to
take off the aspect of baroness that
now surrounds it. With the grounds
under cultivation, and shade trees
growing, there will be the most at
tractive agricultural college, as well
as the best located, IN Georgia"

Need for Secretaries

In the discussion it was shown that
there was a crying need for young
men to enter the work of Y. M. C. A.
secretary. The rapid development of
the organization has created a de-
mand for secretaries and many places
cannot be filled on account of the lack
of good men.
"The greatest need of the work,
said Mr.. Lemley, yesterday, is not
buildings, nor money, but men of
mental, spiritual and moral worth to
undertake and carry on the great OBJ
jects of this worldwide institution.
eve also discussed the ne wbuild-
ings in the state. Americas and
Waycross were shown to be on an
equal footing in the matter of the pro-
gress in building, both expecting to
finish their homes soon.

OF John Lambert's boys was drowned
and another was killed in a coal
bank, one Of Marion Stewards boys
and one of John Locks boys were
drowned. Not long ago one OF Sher-

TO death. and shortly afterward an
other OF his children was accidentally
killed by It's brother.

About 8 o'clock last Saturday even
ing the fire department was called
out by the burning of one story
frame house two or three doors
fIcm the residence of the Rev. L.
NJ, copley. The house was the prop
erty OF Mrs. Martha Mcclure and was
occupied by George Yates and fam
lily. The fire was caused by a de-
fective flue. and it spread so rapidly
that the building was entirely destroy
ed before the fire boys could do much
good Everything in the house, in
cluding a fine hog just dressed. was
burned, leaving the family in very
poor shape. 1t had been raining all
day and was drizzling when the fire
broke out. and this probably saved
the adjacent houses. There was no
