inaugurated The military preparation
seemed an omen of that which was to
be.
The address began at about l 30 In
the afternoon The day had cleared,
and at the time the sun was shining
brightly. Mr.. Lincoln's voice carried
well over the great assemblage. His
references to maintaining the Union
elected cheers, which were redoubled
at the close and again when he took the
oath of office and the booming guns
announced the beginning of new adj
mfnistration, one that was to prove
the most monentous in the nations
history.
Address Generally Approved.
The inaugural address was received
with varying comments. Despite its
appeals for peace, the south accepted
It as a challenge to war. The north
and especially the west generally APP
proved it. Greeley's Tribune said, sit
is marked by no useless words and no
feeble expression" and added, ITO
twenty millions of people it will carry
the tidings, glad or not, as the case
may be, that the federal government
of the United States is still in exist
ence, with man at the head of it,
While thousands are yet living who
remember the Inauguration of Lincoln,
it is well nigh impossible for the
younger generation to form mental
concept of the nation at that time.
There were thirty-six states, but our
population was only one-third that of
today. The telephone, electric light.
trolley car, automobile, skyscraper
ocean cable, wireless, aeroplane, steel
clad battleship and innumerable other
devices and inventions were yet to
come into being.
One comparison may serve to Illus
trate the contrast between Lincolns
era and ours. The Great Eastern had
been launched few years before, but
various accidents delayed her first ac-
tual trip to New York till June, 1860.
She came across in eleven days. 9th
er trips followed, and in the winter
of 1861 the British government EN-
ployed the then giant of the deep to
transport troops to Canada for posi-

GOV. WILSON is INVITED
TO SPEAK in GEORGIA
Former Citizen a Presidential
Possibility

Atlanta, July 29.-In inviting Wood
row Wilson to deliver a speech be-
fore the Georgia assembly the senate
was not actuated by the fact that
Wilson is looming large as a national
Democratic figure and a strong posi-
bility for the presidency, but because
he is a former Georgian, having come
to Atlanta early in life to practice
law and having married into a Sayan-
nah family
This resolution will pass the house,
as the New Jersey executive has many
strong friends in that body. If Gov
ernor Wilson accepts, and he Will
hardly decline so tempting an oppor-
tunity to start the ball rolling his
way, it will inaugurate the Wilson
boom
Georgia has particular and peculii2r
interest in Woodrow Wilson. In the
first place, his wife is a Georgia wo-
man. He married Miss Arson, the
daughter of a Presbyterian minister
who lived in Savannah many years
He courted and married his wife here
Then, Governor Wilson began his
legal career in Atlanta. Judge George
Hillyer, now railroad commissioner
was then on the bench and admitted
Governor Wilson to the bar. Georgia
therefore, is deeply interested in him
and would probably not be unwilling
to officially launch his boom for the
presidency.
AS soon as the resolution is com
municated to him it is expected that
he win name date to speak before
the legislature adjourns, which Will
be about August 10.

If SHEPPARD BILL PASSES
FEE SYSTEM Will FALL
1t Should Work Much Needed
Reform

Atlanta, July 29.-It is believed that
If the Sheppard bill is passed, forciag
MI officials who receive fees in Geor-
gia to make itemized accounts Of their
receipts and expenditures, it will mean
the downfall of the fee system and the
substitution of the salary system in its
palace When the people learn what
heavy fees go with some offices-When
hey learn that officials are making
$4,000 and $4,000 out of fees who on
q salary basis couldn't expect to get
more than $4,000 or $4,000 it is be-
lieyed that the fee system will be
doomed.

YOJINO
Mothers

NO young woman, IN the Joy of
coming motherhood, should neglect

iCal ordeal she is to undergo. The

child depends largely upon the care

waiting months. Mothers Friend
prepares the expectant mother S sys-
TEN for the coming event, and its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all it's
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con-
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
baby too is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for nature S supreme

TCH SEIZE q. 3. ISLAND.
Raise FLAG Over Talmas In the Philippines
Act Probably NOt Authorized.

WASHINGTON. April 20 e-An unofficial
report reached Washington tonight that
the Dutch flag has been raised on Talmas
Island in the Philippine Archipelago and
that the island is claimed by the Dutch
men in the name Of Holland.
Talmas 10 a small cocoanut island about
sixty miles southeast OF Mindanao and is
one Of the islands included in the treaty
with Spain to which the United States
claims ownership. There are about 500
natives on the island aud no form OF gov
eminent haA, been established there by
Americans. although representatives OF
this Government have visited the island
and taken some steps toward settling it.
The Government authorities hero had
no official confirmation tonight Of the
reported planting Of the Dutch flag on
the island. They said, however. that the
question OF ownership was raised about
two years ago by q Dutch sea captain
who contended that he had discovered
the island and that it belonged to Hol-
land The island is on the extreme
border Of the Philippines. There are no
foreign possessions on the island and the
800 natives are practically in savage
state. They live mostly on fish.
The authorities here doubt il any seri-
ous claim will be made by the Govern
ment OF Holland to the island. II the
island has been seized they are Of the
opinion that it was taken by some Dutch
men who we're not acting by authority
of the Hague Government. The island
it was said. would not be OF any value
as a naval base.
