When Monday dawned the Agnes scote
endowment fund lacked $4,000 Of compile.
ton. Within Y hours nearly one-half of
that amount HAD been raised; in exact fig.
ures $2O.52S,5O.
Despite the fact, therefore, that the en-.
tire fund must be forthcoming by Tues
day night, which is a little more than "a
hours away, it is believed that the great
movement will be swept through to sue
cess by Auanta's indomitable win and
enthusiasm.
In Mondays work the women Of th1
city played a conspicuous and telling part.
Not al of the subscriptions they had se-
1 cured during the forenoon were reported

returns viii be made by them during the

De received before the noon hour Tues
day. Every Office building, apartment
house and heighborhood in the city is
being canvassed.
The midday meeting of the workers
Monday was addressed by DR.. i w.
1 Lee, whose words stirred those present
to gale of enthusiasm. When 1t was
announced by Chairman Orr that nearly
/ half of the required $4,000 had been rafs-
ed. the enthusiasm was tempestuous
One of the most interesting donations
announced was that of $3.50 secured from
the Order Of the Old-Fashioned Women,
through Mrs. Wilmer Moore.

With less than As hours remaining
in which to raise $50 900 for the completion
of the Agnes Scott endowment fund, thus
making possible million dollar woman's
college for Atlanta, hundreds Of workers
for that great movement set forth Mon
day morning determined to win
The women as well as the men OF tbs
city have rallied with an enthusiasm, un-
paralleled even in the annals of the At
lanta spirit. They realize that the city's
educational destinies hang upon the OUT
come of less than two days. For, with
out the remaining $4,000 the entire $780,
600 will be lost and with ii an oppor-
tunity the like of which seldom Genes
in a century to any state.
WOMEN ENTER CAMPAIGN.
So earnest and resolute, however. is the
city as a whole that the $4,000 shall be
raised by Tuesday at midnight, that no
ore doubts the success Of the big under
taking. 1t is believed that when the last
midnight of November strikes and the
month Of Yuletide begins. not only S50,-
will have been given.
One of the most striking features OF
the whirlwind campaign that is on Mon
day is the part the ladies of Atlanta are
playing. Always responsive to civic needs
and duties. they have thrown aside their
individual interests and comfort and are
literally taking Atlanta by storm in the
name Of education and southern girlhood.
Organized into scores of different commit
tees, they are canvassing the Office build
ings, the apartment houses and the neigh
borhoods.
