WILL RESENT THE LYNCHING;
FRIENDS TO THE RESUCE
McLendOn Has Strong Backing In His
just Fight.

A very interesting rumor is in cir
culation to the effect that classmates
at the University of Georgia of S. G..
Mel 44endon, former railroad commits
sioner, have quietly, and unknown to
him, raised a CONSIDERABLY fund which
will be rendered him for use in his
legal fight to retain his office as rail
road commissioner.
Whie this is nothing mora than a
rumor, it is generally accredited be-
cause it represents the spirit of the
college men. 1t would stand too, as a
strong indication of the faith his class
mates have in him.
Mr.. McLendOn was a member of the
famous class of 1875, which contained
such men as John Temple Graves, ed
itor of The New York American; Muir
ply Gambler, member of the Georgia
railroad commission; Attorney General
John c. Hart, Boykin Wright, Of Au-
gusta, and many others.
This fund will be rendered him to
be used in the long and probably ex-
pensive litigation to retain his place
Whether or not Mr.. McLendon will ac-
cept this tribute of love from his old
friends is a question.

PRESIDENT AND GOOD ROADS.
His Letter to the Post Shows Him
Powerful Supporter.
New York Mail

President Taft's letter to the Wash
ington Post, indorsing the project for
a great modern highway between the
national capital and Richmond, Va,
discloses at the head of the federal
government a powerful supporter OF
the good roads movement. He cor
rectly observes that the Washington
Richmond project should be regarded
as simply a part of a general enter
prise looking to the development of a
widespread system of state and inter
state highways. That is the impor-
tant and helpful feature of his in
dorsement. For if the people can be
brought to understand that the pro-
posed road between the national capt.
tai and the Virginia capital is design
ed largely an object lesson in road
construction, it will greatly simplify
the problem of obtaining the author
ity and means for a general extension
of the system.
1t is urged in some quarters, and
with great insistence, that the propos-
ed road and many others already built
or projected will be valuable chiefly
to owners and users of automobiles
This is a narrow and insupportable
contention. One might insist with
equal force that railroads are valuable
chiefly to the owners of private cars
and that the old dirt roads were use
full principally to the owners of prt-
vate carriages. That good roads ado
to the convenience and pleasure of au-
tomobilists is readily granted, but thai
such highways are built primarily fol
that purpose and without practical
benefit to the territory through which
they pass is too absurd for considera
ton.

OKEYSKETllgEYC
Makes Kidneys and Bladder Right
Is REACHING
FOR FIVE MILLIONS.
Predicted That High Mark in Popula.
ton VIII Be Reached i'm 1871.

Chicago Evening Post.)
Francis A Eastman, the city salts
tician, predicts that in the year 1941
Chicago will have 100000 inhabit-
ants. In the light of past predictions
we must hold, modestly withal, that
MI Eastman is given to moderation in
prophecy.
In 1870 or thereabouts one of the
early residents Cf Chicago, looking
with proper pride on the families
that were moving in weekly, said that,
While others might laugh, it was his
firm belief that in so years Chicago
would have $4,000 people within its
borders. The $4,000 were here, with
good many more thousands to make
the measure run over.
Our chief statistician is to be com
mended for his modesty, which is in
keeping with the Chicago spirit. not
given to vain boasting. 1t is easy
travelling to the 100000 mark and
the road is no harder ahead.

THIS PRISONER is SLICK;
REFUSED TO OPEN MOUTH
Man in Macon Jail Wanted in Several
Cities.

Macon, Ga, Aug. 16.-Although des-
perately i'll and almost helpless w. H.
Adamson, the travelling salesman who
is said to be wanted in several cities,
to-day at a local hospital positively
refused his physician and the nurse
the privilege of a look into his mouth,
which fact leads Chief of Police West
colt to believe more strongly than ey-
er that the sick man is the person
sought in Savannah, Americas, Sell
ma Ala, Griffin, Athens and several
other places. Descriptions given the
local officers are to the effect that the
man wanted in these places on various
charges ranging all the way from mis-
demeanor offenses to murder, has two
false front teeth. The physician in
charge of the case would not allow the
officers to force the man to open his
mouth, as it was feared the shock
might work badly for him in his pres
ent precarious condition.

So, at last you're safely Gagged,
Being actually engaged!
How you marvel at your fears
And your anguish fringed with tears !
Vow your skies are tinged with rose
Since you've clinched the girl YOU
chose.
Much you wonder that for days
Courage you could never raise.
Couldn't find word to say
When she CHANGED to pass your way.
1t was chance, of course, you thought,
Not design. Well, you've been caught.
If her thoughts you could have guess
Easy would have been the rest.
You would have been truly bold;
AS it was your feet were cold.
How you stammered in your doubt,
With your courage oozing out,
When she whispered, yes, you'll do, =
With prodigous courage you
Swelled up like a whole parade
AS you murmured, Who's afraid?"

AMERICUS MUST ATTEND THE
GAMES HERE IN FORCE.
Macon Team One of the Best Here
This Season.

While the ball game yesterday was
among the best played in Americas
this season, as evidenced by the close
score of 1 to in favor of the Champs,
the attendance was not what it should
have been. The local club is at heavy
expense in bringing such a team as
the Macon Athletics here, and the pat
ronage and support should be the very
best. Large audiences have Witness
ed all the meritorious games here this
season, and doubtless the grandstand
and bleachers will fill up as usual in
today's game and that on tomorrow
as well. doc" Wilson pitched no
hit game for the Champs yesterday,
and prettier work has not been wit
messed at the ball park this season.
