Plans of President Gomez of
Cuba Described by
Friend.

Manuel Adelantado, a friend of Presi-
dent Gomez of Cuba, who has Just re-
turned to Washington from Cuba after
an extended visit to Havana, spoke hope
fully of conditions in Cuba to Star re-
porter today.
AT the expiration Of his fOur-year
term of Office said Mr.. Adelantado,
President Gomez will retire to the large
plantation bequeathed him by his father
and will devote himself to the pursuit of
agriculture. l believe President Gomez
is the first Latin-American president who
has sincerely declined reelection to pub
lie office. In this respect. as In many
others, he is distinguished man.
President Gomez is working energet-
ically to promote the agricultural life in
Cuba and the construction of railroads,
several new lines having already been
built in the western part of the island
The condition of the island financially
and industrially is good today. The ex-
port and import business of the country,
the erection of fine public buildings all
show the prosperous condition of Cuba
The new public buildings which are
being substituted for the old are hand
some, modern and big permanent i'm
provements. Travellers in the interior OF
the Island are impressed with the inn
provements which are being made in the
hotels. electric light systems and water
systems.
Among the improvements which Presi-
dent Gomez has added are new railroads,
increased pay for school teachers, i'm
provement in the regular army and in the
navy. The sugar crop this year Is fine
and the prices for the product high"

National Holiday Suggested.

That the birthday Of America be made
a national holiday was then suggested by
Mr.. Darr. He invited the support Of
Commissioner Rudolph.
The cardinal was the next speaker.
When he completed his brief remarks he
left the hail. His progress was marked
by a standing audience, which cheered
him three times.
Besides promising his influence for the
Discovery day holiday measure, Commits
sioner Rudolph paid high compliment to
the order for its great work for humanity
and spoke Of the insurance department
as the soundest Of fraternal benefits. He
expressed the hope and confidence that
the knights of Columbus would be able
to raise the rest Of the funds necessary
to endow scholarships and for other ex-
tensions of the efficiency of Catholic Uni
versity. A chair of American history
established there by the order he consid-
cred an evidence of high patriotism.
Three cheers were also given FOR Com
missioner Rudolph.
The aid given Columbus in shaping his
plans for the discovery Of America by
Dominican and franciscan friars was COM
mented upon in the sketch Of the discov-
erer given by Prior Meagher. He paid
tribute to the knights Of Columbus for
spreading respect and knowledge of Co.

that the idea is primarily to restrict or

Street IS OPENED TO
TRAFFIC ON BARLOW
Bridge Over Railway Tracks
Finished

Barlow street, closed to traffic be-
tween College and Taylor for two
weeks, is again open, or will be this
morning. The new bridge spanning
the Seaboard Railway at that point
has been completed and is a most
creditable structure and one that will
endured for years. The bridge, built
entirely new throughout, is the full
width of Barlow street, with wide pas
sageway for pedestrians in either side.
With the completion of the Barlow
street bridge the Seaboard company
will at once proceed in building the
Lee street bridge across its tracks, one
block away. This latter bridge will he

require two months in it's consrtruc-
ton, during which period Lee will be
closed between college and Finn

WILL NOT TAKE PLACE
Found Necessary to Cancel

On account of the inability of Mr.
G. V. Cunningham to be present and
to manage and superintend the farm
erS' institute that was announced N
yesterdays Times-Recorder to be held
here Friday, August 25, the institute
has been called off for this year. Mr..
Cunningham is now in Mississippi.
studying the boil weevil and tele-
gram received from him yesterday
brought the intelligence that he will
not be able to return to Georgia be-
fore September 1.
1t will be regretted by the farm
ers of this section that this course is
made imperative for this season, for
many had contemplated hearing from
Mr.. Cunningham Immediately upon his
return the results of his personal in
vestigations in the Mississippi cotton
belt There were other exceptionally
good addresses from experts of the
State Agricultural College, which
were necessarily cancelled on account
of the inability of Mr.. Cunningham
to return.
While the institute is called off for
this year, it is hoped that next year
may witness one that will surpass any
thing in this line that has ever been
attemNed here. With the wide agri-
cultural interests and the unusually
modern development of agricultural
methods in this section, this county
should have one of the best systems
of institutes that can be afforded any
in the state.

nearly all the bad roads have been
eliminated The Lee county link is
completed as far as Adam Station,
while the roads below Albany have al
so been improved. Local automobile
lists have already begun discussing the
trip, upon which Americus will in all
likelihood be well represented.
A feature of the meeting will be the
special entertainment that is to be
given to the visitors, at which Thom-
asville will endeavor to surpass its
past record. A pleasant run to st.
Marks, Fla, is also included in the

STATE SOLONS
FINISHED WORK
ON YESTERDAY
MUCH TALK: LITTLE WORK
693 Bills introduced But
Few Passed

Atlanta Ca, August 1.-THE Geor-
gia legislature, which has been in
session since June, adjourned tonight
completing it's constitutional $50 day
session.
The session was marked by the mass
of bills introduced and the compara-
lively small number passed In the
house alone 693 bills were offered. The
senate had enough to make a total :. f
a thousand.
The pricipal business completed
follows:
Election of Governor Hoke Smith
as United States senator; creation Of
the Office of state auditor, enacting
of Georgia's first game and conserya-
tion laws; creation of a department Of
labor, paving the way for cities and
towns to adopt the commission form
of government.
The session was enlivened by the
controversy over whether Hoke Smith
should resign the governorship and
assume his duties in Washington. He
will remain in his office until con-
gress meets in regular session.
Both houses met on Wednesday,
June 28, and have been in session for
so legislative days. The house has
done many interesting things, but II
has aroused particular interest by
leaving two things undone. One IF
these was the failure to allow women
to practice law, and the other was de-
lay which prevented a vote on the Tip
pins bill to prohibit the sale of nedr
beer. The measure to permit women
to practice law was defeated by being
tabled. The Tippins bill never came
to a vote.
The fertilizer bill, requiring that all
fertilizer packages shall be tagged
with analysis of their contents, was
passed after. almost as much discus
sion as the Tippins bill aroused. The
lengthy debate on the measure was
one of the causes that prevented con-
sideratiOn of the anti-near-beer meas
ure.
Other important bills that have been
passed by the house are a measure 10

months old, she was taken with very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with it, it came in
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after a few
days it would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she WAS quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.

found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.
used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then I
wrote for book on Cuticura, and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment at the drug store. I did as
found directions in the Cuticura Book
let, and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

SITUATION OF SOME DANGER
United Prayers of coiored conarega-
ton Should Be of Significance
to Mr.. Davis.

Colored folks down in Quitman, Ga,
are agog over a novel prayer test in
one of their churches.
The congregation at this house OF
worship has it in" for man named
Davis, San ornery piece of white
trash,'' as they allege, who has been
trying to get their services sup
pressed under the ordinance against
unnecessary noises. Davis complains
that the darkies pray and sing so
loud that he and his family can't
sleep, and the colored flock retort that
they are ON their own premises and
propose to run their services so that
the Lord can hear them.
The authorities have notified the
church people to make less noise I'M

reprisal, have been holding prayers
for the death of Mr.. Davis, which
event is now scheduled to take place
in about three weeks, If the prayers
hold out

be danger that should he prove OBJ
