students of the Osteopathy school got
married a while back 1t was most
audacious thing to do and II fairly took
the "bonesetters" by surprise. They rail-
lied, however, and that student and his
bride were the center of proceedings for
one whole day. From somewhere a sun
bonnet and Mother Hubbard were pro-
duced for the bridegroom and an equally
grotesque costume for his bride. All the
students took a day off and pulled the
carriage up and down the streets and
across the college campus. Lectures, dem
onstrations, likewise clinics could go
hang. They were not given chance like
this every day in the college year and
they were determined to make the most
of 1t.

Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars or

Sunday was great day at the
First Baptist church, Fifteen thous-
and one hundred and sixty four
dollars subscribed in half hour
and it wasn't very good day for
subscribing either.
For more than a year the Baptist
congregation have been considering
the question of building on their lot,
corner Main and Magnolia, and
Sunday Pastor Galloway put the
question squarely up to them, gave
them the opportunity to show their
spirit and discovered that it was
good.
The day was a pleasant one and
the church was practically filled and
when subscriptions to a new church
building was asked for the members
of the church building and their
friends showed a willingness and
eagerness that was quickly inter
preted to mean that they were ready
to build a new church and willing
to make it a nice one.

scribed five thousand dollars to be
paid when twenty thousand dollars
shall be raised.

The Field Trials May
Come To Fitzgerald
Pointer Clubs Representa-
tive Here

Mr.. A. |. Roat, Secretary and
treasurer of the Pointers Club Of
America is in the city for the pur-
pose of arranging for suitablegrounds
for the Field Trials of the season
1911.
Mr.. Roat is direct from Waynes-
boro, Ca, where he attended the
Pointer Clubs Trials this present
season lasting two weeks.
His report on the conditions here
will probably decide the next sea-
sons trials.
Mr.. Roat is in the hands of local
sportsmans and is being show n the
admirable grounds in this county.
Sidney Clare, an English thorough
bread and proprietor of the Lynn
wood estate has rendered that ad-
mirable grounds consisting of fifteen
or twenty thousand acres including
the adjacent property that he can
CONTROL free. His generous offer Of
the admirable locations within few
miles of the city will have consider
able influence in settling the matter
of next years Field Trials.
At first thought this may seem a
small matter, locally considered, but
when it is understood that the event
brings every year a hundred sports
men, many of them of wealth from
all parts Of the United States who
will spend two weeks here, it is of
considerable importance.
They will no be here to kill birds,
that is not their business. They are
here to test the quality of the dogs
a long field trial line. No land need
fear the slaughter of birds on ac-
count of the field trials, but the
event if secured for Fitzgerald, will
bring here large number of promi-
nent gentlemen and offers an excel
lent opportunity for advertising
Every public spirited man should be
interested insecuring the Field Trials.

HIS IDEAS NOT AMERICAN


LONDON. June 2.-William r. Hearst
has telegraphed to the London Daily
Mail from Paris a dispatch a column
and a half long. in which he rebukes
Mr.. Roosevelt for his speech at. the
Guildhal on Wednesday. He says,
among other things:
Every true American abroad ar
IDENTIFY wishes that Mr.. Roosevelt would
cease claiming to represent American
ideas in foreign countries. and that he
would go home and attend to his own
business. Self-respecting Americans
are tired Of seeing this self-advertising
individual parading Europe claiming to
represent a democratic nation. while
seeking to ingratiate himself in un-
democratic ways with the representa-
tives Of monarchies and empires. Amer
leans who love their country and be-
lieve in republican institutions are
shocked and outraged to hear this sup
posed representative Of republicanism
preaching the oppression Of subject
states"
"Foolish and Fraudulent Phrases"
Mr.. Hearst asks: "Since when has 1t
been necessary to urge England to gov
ern with rod Of iron and sword Of
blood? India, Ireland. Egypt and
South Africa are broken with the form
er and wet with the latter"
Referring to Mr.. Roosevelt's compare
son between England in Egypt and the
United States in Panama, Mr.. Hearst
says: "Such foolish, frayed and fraudulent
phrases dishearten and distress Ameri-
cans Of spirit. Frances work in Egypt
can be compared with Americas In Pana-
ma, but England occupied Egypt upon
the false pretense of temporary govern
ment, and has remained since upon the
obvious basis Of greed and exploitation.
Mr.. Roosevelt tells her 1t is better to be
violent and unjust than timid and senu-
mental.
"why should Mr.. Roosevelt deny the
accepted American idea that a just gov
eminent is based upon the consent Of the
governed?
IF Mr.. Roosevelt is right Washington
and Jefferson were wrong. and Patrick
Henry's patriotic words ought to be torn
from childrens readers, and Mr.. Roose-
velts trucking twaddle substituted.
US. Misrepresented by Tin Soldier
'sThe United States is being misrepre-
scented abroad by tin soldier, toy
colonel, who. although unwilling to SUBJ
NIT to discipline for the few days he
served in the army. has been forever
since trying to infiict military methods
and arbitrary rule on his own people and
Others"
Before his departure from London Mr..
Roosevelt will be entertained by King
George. On this occasion his majesty
will receive his guest, not in the capacity
OF a special ambassador, but as a dis
tinguished visitor.
Mr.. Roosevelt's speech at Guildhall
continues to be q sensation throughout
the country. The newspapers almost
without exception challenge the propriety
Of a foreign guest Of the city cr1tlc1sing
the colonial policy of the empire.
