RURAL CARRIERS
TO MEET JULY 3-4

STATESBORO. GA, June 18-The
convention of the Georgia Association
of Rural Letter Carriers to be held
in Albany, Ga, July and 4, will be
one of state wide interest and the
most important ever held by the
association Much business of i'm
portance will be transacted at the
convention. The fact that the Geor-
gia association stands first among
state organizations in the United
States, having more members in pro-
portion to the number of carriers
than any other state, Indiana, Ohio
and Illinois following Georgia in
this respect, and that the national
president, Hon. Paul L. Lindsay, of
Tucker, Ca, is a Georgian, adds in
terest to the convention.
There will be present at the cOnven-
ton representatives of the pOstOffice
department at Washington, Mr.. F. B..
Heidel, of the bureau of public roads,
Congressman James M. Griggs, of the
Second, and Charles G. Edwards, of
the First congressional district, who
will deliver addresses, the national
and state presidents, Postmaster H.
NJ Brimberry, of Albany, and others
to be selected later.
The growth of the Georgia assOcia-
ton has been nothing short Of phenO-
menal In 1905 there was member
ship of only So; in 1906, 200, and at
the state convention in 1907 a mem
bership of 1872 There is now a
membership of more than 500. This
increase in membership is due very
largely to the untiring efforts of
State President George DuBrOSSe. Be
fore his election to the office of presi-
dent he was president of the First
district association.

INSANITY FUND DUE TO
INTEREST IN THAW CASE

PITTSBURG, PENN, June 18-
SpeciaD News that Henry Phipps,
the steel magnate had donated $780,
900 to the Johns Hopkins Hospital for
the purpose of making researches and
effecting cures in insanity, was re-
ceived with great interest in this city
where Mr.. Phipp's ideas on insanity
have long been we'll known 1t is
asserted that the case of Harry X
Thaw who was. a great favorite of
Mr.. Phipps, was mainly instrumental
in Mr.. Phipps making this move
Mr.. Phipps at one time sought to
have Andrew Carnegie interest him
self in a venture with him to expend
$1,000,000 in the cause of insanity
Since quite young man Henry Phipps
has taken great interest in the
study of insanity, and he is said
to be one of the best versed on this
subject. He is and has always been
bitterly opposed to insane asylum
methods, as practiced in the different
States now, and does not believe in
close confinement, except in case of
criminally insane or those who have
been proven incurable.
Several years ago, while on a visit
to Pittsburg, Mr.. Phipps obtained a
permit Withholding his real identity
and went through the Dixmont In
sane Asylum here, and his observa-
tons communicated to the State
Board of Charities resulted in a close
inspection of the big institution.
1t is said that Mr.. Phipps is so in
| terested in the dealings with insane
that he frequently is instrumental in
having nurses obtain employment in
] asylums while under his pay and
make weekly reports to him.
