The following resolution, prepared
by Justice Holden, will be offer
ed by delegates from the Alex Stephens
chapter of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy, at the meeting in Atlanta
Thursday:
Whereas soon after the death of Gov
ernor Alexander H. STEPHENS, the Ste
phens Monumental association was char
tered, having three objects in view, as
follows: The first was the purchase of
Liberty Hall and the grounds around it,
consisting of about twelve acres, in
Crawfordville,, Ga, The second was the
erection of monument in honor of the
memory of Mr.. Stephens on Liberty Hail
grounds. The third was the establish
ment of a college in honor Of Mr.. Ste
phens. The first two objects have been
carried out and it is now desired to ac-
complished the third by establishing a
college.
Crawfordville is GA miles from Augusta,
so from Athens, IS from Macon and 107
from Atlanta, and other than the ordi-
nary schools, there are no institutions
of learning nearer than these places. 1t
is among the hills and in one of the
healthiest sections of the state, being
above the malarial and below the typhoid
regions. Where is there a more historic
spot, and a place from which the youth
could draw greater inspiration than Lib
erty Hall? Near by lived some of the
greatest men this country ever produced
linen who dominated the politics of this
country for years. Stephens lived there;
Toombs at Washington, Is miles distant;
Judge Linton Stephens at Sparta, only %
miles distant; Ben Hill and the Cobbs at
Athens, 40 miles distant. At Liberty Hall
more great men gathered than at any
other private home, and for this reason
1t will always remain famous. The room
Mr.. Stephens occupied is kept just as it
was the day he died and the last night
he slept in it. There are u acres in the
Liberty Hall lot, on which stand stately
oaks, whose size and height indicate that
they are more than a century old. On
the grounds in front of Liberty Hall,
near and in sight of the Georgia rail-

vided with smaller books which are better
suited 70 their needs; though most children
take readily to Bible reading when taught
and encouraged to do so.
This is busy age Of the world and there
are SO many pressing demands upon our time
that something must be left undone Food

ments offering to purchase the COM
pany's certificates. When he saw De-
tectives Weldon and Burlingame there lie
promptly changed his mind.
What DO you want here?' he was
asked by one of the detectives when he
started to back out of the building.
I'm looking for a lawyer to get me
divorce was his ready response.
What about those certificates you
want to SELF" he was asked.
Brown had about 600 certificates in his
pockets. He declared he had purchased
them.
II suppose I'm up against it and will
have to stand for it," said Brown. ''I'il
not tell where 1 bought the certificates"

ment is for delivery as soon as the manu-
facturers can turn 1t out. which should
be begun in about three months.

The passenger equipment includes five
parlor cafe cars of most modern design,
and forty-five latest type vestibule pas
senger coaches. the remainder of the
order being made up of combination pas
SenRer and baggage. baggage and postal
cars.
In the locomotive order will be thirty
