BLUE AND GRAY
 HONOR GEN. EVANS
Confederate Commander and Dis tinguished Southerner Is Bur jed at Atlanta With Impress-
 i've Ceremonies.

Atlanta, Ga, July Wrapped in his beloved uniform. the gray of the Southern Confederacy, Gen. Clement A. Evans, soldier, preacher and past-commander of the United Confederate, Veterans, was laid to rest in Oakland cemetery here to- day.
 After the services at the church the casket was carried to the cem- etery, where the last rites were said in the presence of veterans, mem bers of the Laides' Memorial Asso- citation, Daughters of the Confed- eracy, representatives of the Board of Trustees of Emory College, of which he was a member, and rep resentatives of many other organi- cations.
 National guardsmen, wearing the blue he once opposed, but serving in his native state of Georgia, sounded taps and fired a salute as the body was lowered to it's last abode.
 The funeral was one of the most impressive held in this city, mark ing as it did the passing of one of the few remaining generals who served for the South in the mem- orable struggle of the sixties.
 The legislature adjourned out of respect, and the body of the vet eran was followed to the grave by Governor Smith and staff.

 At last they arrived where they could perceive dimly something of the nature of this unexpected desert oasis.
 The light shone forth, piercing the night, through the uncurtainsd window of log cabin. which would otherwise have been completely concealed from view by group of low growing cot tonwoods. This was all the black. en- shrouding night revealed, and even this was merely made apparent by the yellow illumination of the window The cabin stood upon an Island. a strip of sand. partially covered cy ~s- ter. separating it from ths north shore on which they stood. There was no .txn of life about the hut. other thss the burning lamp. but that alone was sufrcient evidence of occupancy. In spite of hunger. and urgent need. keith

Miss Dollie Milbourn of district No.
5, made the most sensational jump Of
the whole contest yesterday when she
polled enough votes to raise her from
10000 votes to more than $4,000
, votes and to put her into leading
place on the list printed today. That
is another example of what energy
will do. Several others have passed
the $4,000 mark and are crowding
close for the lead. In several OF the
outside districts new leaders will be
seen on today's list and from now on
some mighty interesting things are
likely to happen daily.
The biggest and best special vote
offer of the whole contest is an
rounced today for the coming week.
Just three times the regular number
of votes will be allowed on all SUBJ
scriptions brought or sent in between
the dates of Monday, December IL,
&nd Saturday, December 16. at 3
o'clock In the evening.
Those who wait for something bet
ter to be announced during the con-
test will be sadly disappointed. The
contest manager has determined to
make a big offer right now and then
to give many thousands Of votes less
during the last week of the contest
ard unless you take every advantage
of the triple vote offer you need not
expect much in the final showdown.
The World positively goes on record
that at no future time in this contest
will It be possible for any contestant
or anyone else to get so many votes
on subscriptions as right now during
the triple vote offer and that at no
future time will this triple vote offer
BE repeated and that no better vote
offer of any kind will be made. Now
there are many people who have been
advising contestants to hold their
subscriptions until the closing days
