amount would be ample to enable
the foundation to carry on its work
throughout the world in a most sat
isfactory manner.
'fMr. Rockefeller desires to have
a charter with such freedom of scope
that wherever there arises a human
need the board created by the char
ter will have power to give help, ="
said Mr.. Murphy. at is the purpose
of the donor that the scope of the
corporation shall be so broad that
it may respond to the demands of
humanity as they may arise.
1.-The charities of the 18th century
will not be the charities of the goth
century; the dead hand should be
removed from charitable requests,
and they should be left in the hands
of living men. It is impossible to
define the scope of the work propos-
ed by the donor and it is his desire
to avoid limitations.
Method In His Giving.
There is more danger in giving
than in not giving at all.
The donor of this foundation always
insists upon the same lnVestlgatlon
and care in his works of philanthropy
as he demands when making a bust
ness investment from which he ex-
poets cash dividends In this in
stance he expects that his dividends
will not be In cash, but hopes to
get dividends in the shape of the well
fare of humanity The general ed
ucation board has been hampered by
lack of funds. and at its last meet

requests because of lack Of resources
''Mr. Rockefeller wants to push the
principle of the general board far

have freedom of scope so that he can
meet the needs of humanity as they
arise. It is not his intention TO sup
plant existing agencies. but to sup

MRS. w. T. COOPER DEAD.

On last Saturday morning in
Montgomery, Ala, the death knell
was sounded, for death had claimed |
for its victim Mrs. Bessie Lee
Bowles Cooper, the wife of w. L.
Cooper and daughter of Mrs. Mol
lie Bowles.
Mrs. Cooper was well known to
all the people of Camden, having
been reared here. She was born
August Ia, 1888, and her childhood
and early womanhood was spent in
Camden. Her kind and affection
ate disposition made her the idol Of
the family and friends. She join-
ed the Methodist Church, South,
at about the age of twenty-one
years, and lived a devoted Christian
life, always taking an active part in
church and Sunday School work.
She was married to w. Hooper
November IL, 1907, and they NOV
ed to Montgomery where they re-
sided until her death The re-
mains were brought to Camden
Sunday morning. The funeral
services we're conducted at the M.
E. Church, South, at 2;30 Monday
afternoon in the presence of a large
congregation of friends and rela-
tives, by the pastor, Rev. W. f.
Fcuff, after which the interment
took place in Camden Cemetery.
While Bessie left sufficient evil
dence that her Father in Heaven
was awaiting her arrival, yet the
mortal part Of life was grieved to
surrender on account Of earthIy
ties to home and loved ones. She
ALWAYS lived in the affections OF
those who knew her, and knew no
i'll toward anyone, her greatest aim
in life being to live in sunshine and
happiness on earth, and be fully
prepared for the life to come
While she is gone and her spirit Is
waited to that eternal home be.
yond, yet her influence and work
on earth still lives to serve as
beacon light to those who woulo
follow in her footsteps.
She leaves, surviving her, hel
! husband, w. T. Cooper, who is as
sistant paymaster of the Southern
branch of the Louisville and Nash
vile Railway, her mother, Mrs
Mollie Bowles, and one sister, Mrs
C. II. Sullivan, of Camden, Tenn,

You Can't Afford
To Lose, Can You

In short time the piano con-
tdst will close, and it is important
that all candidates in the race for
the beautiful $400 shall continue to
make large gains until the close.
Now is the time to get busy and
work for the votes in the popular
piano contest.
The contest editor wishes to i'm
press on the minds of candidates
TIE fact that hesitation near the
close of the contest rs one of the
most fatal mistakes that anyone
could make. You have interview
ed many of your friends, whom
you have enlisted in your cause,
aud should be encouraged to keep
up the fight until the end,
lf you were to start on trip to
Chicago, where you were. going to
transact business to the amount OF
$400 clear gain to you, it is need
less to say you would not leave the
train a few miles out of Chicago,
and sit down and calmly wait for
aomeone else to get the business.
,The same applies to you in this
contest. You have started toreach
Il goal where you can claim $500
absolutely without cost to yourself.
20 give up the race now when
within a few weeks Of the close
would be a ridiculous mistake.
Difficulties may come up in your
campaign which seem insurmount-
able. Your friends will tell you
that it is hard to get prepaid sub
sscriptions which count votes; but
remember that the other candidates
have the same difficulty to over
srosne. No one lras better show
tt,an the other-all are equal.
None are handicapped. 1t is~sim-

which will win. Make it point
