Atlanta May Get Home of GARNER

II seems more ana more probable that
as a result of the approaching annual
convention OF the Brotherhood of Railway
Carmen Of America here, the national
headquarters of that organization will be
established in Atlanta and a national
home for incapacitated members erected
somewhere in south Georgia, probably
near Waycross or near Fitzgerald.
Several weeks ago Judge John T. Myers,
Of Waycross, offered to donate a 4O-acre
site for the home, and the local railway
mems organizations at Waycross offered
a sum Of money to help In the building.
Now comes a second even more gener-
Gus offer Of land. The Moore Real Estate
company. of Fitzgerald. has offered 100
acre site near that city, and the people
of Fitzgerald are making a strong fight to
bring the national home there. 1t is quite
probable that a delegation will visit At
lanta during the Garments convention TO
lemphasize the advantages offered by Fitz-
gerald.
There is a strong sentiment on the part
Of the national officers to choose some
spot in Georgia, and the probability is
that one Of the offers will be accepted
When IL is. the establishment OF national
headquarters in Atlanta will be the logical
corollary.

WIRELESS OPERATOR
SINKS TO DEATH

SEATTLE. Wash, Aug. 2S.-According
to a wireless message received last night,
Operator George c. Eccles and the purser
OF the wrecked steamer Ohio went below
to search for the quarteraster and q
steerage passenger. Unable to find them
ne returned 10 his station and began send
ing a message. Just before the vessel
made the plunge that carried it TO the
bottom the operator was seen to leap
from the wireless station. He fell on
his head and his apparently nreIess body
rolled into the water and was carried
down by the whirlpool made by the sink
ing steamer.
Eccles had not expected to make the
trip with the Ohio. The DAY berore the
steamer sailed he handed in his resig-
nation, having secured a position at Su-
sitna, Alaska. AS the company was short
of men, he consented to make one more
trip before giving up his position.

New Railroad for swainsbOro.

SwAINSBORO. Ca. Aug. 27-Muchl sig
nificance has been attached to a recent
visit of some of the Georgia and Florida
officials to this city 1t is now regarded
as almost a certainty that Swafnsoero will
realize its lifelong hope of being placed
on the main line of railroad and also OF
hearing the click of telegraph instru-
ment. 'rr
The Georgia and Florida people it
seems, from statements given out by THOSE
in authority, have. decided to build a new
line from Swainsboro to Normantown,
nine miles from Vidalia. on the Millen and
Southwestern branch OF this road, instead
of building from Midwife to Summit con-
Meeting there with the same branch. This
they claim will cost more' than the line
they first contemplated building but it will
shorten the distance between Augusta and
Madison. Fla. about five miles.
1t is stated on good authority that the
work on this line will begin at once and
pushed with all reasonable haste. .-

dist Episcopal church, south, and tie
appointing of special committees from
each for the purpose of looking for some
common point or site for the holding of
great camp meetings annually, has oor
cCsioned widespread interest. Thousands
there are who believe that the modern
tendency to do away with these great
gatherings has been a real menace TO
the best interests of the church. In COLI
fiTmation of their views they point to the
thousands of conversions that have at
tended these meetings in the past. and in
sist that they can become again just as
great power for good as they ever
were. fsn

tons or conditions than provided the site
is accepted, that it be regularly used for
camp meetings.
The old Warm Springs camp ground.
has been the recognized center and most
famous site for camp meetings during,
almost a century. a4
Georgia Methodists of several genera

stirred the hearts of their listeners at
those grounds.
For these and other reasons the cid

on the line of the north and south Geor-
gia conferences. 1t has a high seleya-

on a high, level plateau. half Of which,
remains in the original oak and hickory.
On the grounds is located one of the
finest mineral springs. IN all that sec

Almost 100 years ago the camp ground
