to ire President, as ii miget be tae

The Governor says that he did
not have time 80 discuss with the
President his forthcoming visit 10
Kentucky to attend TIE Lincoln CEN
tenary celebration, bu4 merely wish
ed him God-speed on his long voy-
age and trip, as the Lincoln commit
tee will attend to al the de1ails Of
ire celebration ia Kentucky.
Governor Wilson talks with the
keenes1 delight Of tie banque, which
WIS rendered TO Judge Taft by the
Chamber of Commerce and tile citi-
zeps of Atlanta. He sat az Judge
Tafts right hand at TIE banqueting
board and had an opportunity for a
great deal of conversation with the
distinguished citizen, which was a
great pleasure to rim. Governor Will
son says that the gathering was one
of the finest assemblages of tigh class

mo State could have produced OF
gathered together finer body of men

Governor Wilson, 'and | commented
upon the fact that they we've prac-
tically all straight Americans, fo
there were but very few foreign names
that appeared upon the list of guests.
/ The Governor, who knows what
good cooking is and appreciates a
good square meal, with the trimmings
as keenly rs the veriest epicure, says
that the people of Georgia fairly out
did themselves in providing delicacleS

Governor says that he partoolI of tine
''possum and ta&ers" with relish, bu'
intimated that he would not pick the
| former for a steady diet.
One of the features of che banquet
which appealed particularly TO Cover
nor Wilson was the after dinner songs
which were sung when chairs were pus
ed back and cigar smoke was cur.-
ing upward. Besides starring as an
after dinner speaker, Governor Will
son is himself a songster Of no means
ability, and as he escaped without a
speech or sorg either at IRE banque
he says mat he was in a position to
enjoy the good things which the othe'
provided all the more.

1t is not necessary to make school
holiday of this anniversary in order to
insure its observance: an hour devo,

stamp the day as apart from the us
iual routine of the weeks, and put Co
lnmbus before childish minds in some

some places the day was not forgot

be haphazard and desultory but sys-
tematic general and official through
out the whole OF America.
But Columbus Day is not the only
anniversary on the calendar of the
month. On Oct. II, 1777, the brilliant
and boastful Burgoyne, descending
upon the colonies from the north with
a picked army of redcoats, threatened
utter destruction until. on that date,
he was beaten by the Americans in
the famous battle of Saratoga. 1t was
in this battle that Benedict Arnold
won his brightest military laurels, lau-
rels that did not wholly wither, even
under the blight of his later treach-
cry.
On the 7th of October in 1880, when
the cause of freedom was at its lowest
ebb, there was fought at Kings Noun

South Carolina, the decisive battle
that was the turning point Of the long
struggle. Sewer, Shelby, Campbell
