fun-making amusements.
These are some of the big features
that Tony Achievement" Tremp has
created in few short months that
he has been on the job since the
money was raised to make the CEN
tennial a big success.
Already twenty-nine governors OF
the United States have accepted invi-
tations to be present at the centen-
NAL of the first settlement Of the
Northwest by the white man.
From a historical point Of view
the centennial is q big factor In
driving home the lessons of the coun-
try. For, it was the settlement OF
Astoria in 1911 which made it pos
sible for the United States govern.
ment to claim ownership of the
original Oregon Country when
England claimed it. 1t is q matter
of history how they made up the
slogan "54-4O or Fight" and the de.
termining factor In settling the
boundary dispute in 1916 was the
prior settlement Of Astoria in 1911
by the Astor Trading Expedition.
Thus Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and a part of Montana were saved
to the ownership of the United States
because of this Pacific Coast settle
ment in 1911.
Realizing the Importance of this
Tremp has had the old Astor stock
ade or Fort Astoria as it wa.
known reproduced and the first pic
lures of it are now printed with thi.
article.
One of the buildings within thi.
fort was used as the living quarter,
by thirty men who made up thu
trading station. Another was usel
as barn and the small building wa.
used as workshop to dry and cure
the skins bought from the India1
trappers. The usual defenses were
located so that they could loci
themselves in and shoot hostile foe.
but the fort did not avail when tn,
British marched down from Van
couver during the war of 1912
Fort Astoria fell easily but not t.
the Indian. 1t fell to the Anglo
Saxon forces and defeat was not 81
bitter as it might have been.
Thus, it will be seen that AstOri;
was an important factor in the civil
cation of our country and Tremp, O.
Denver, has scored strike" b,
reproducing the old city.
Everything is in readiness for tn,
opening of the big show and Tremp
while working over time, is prous
to hear the members of the execu
tive call him Anthony Achievement
Tremp."

Convenient Form Of Trans
portation Used by Alb. & A.

On January 9TH, 1912, the Atlanta.
Birmingham & Atlantic Railroad
will place on sale a form of ticket
known as interchangeable Penny
Scrip: This will be in the form of a
book, containing coupons of a value
of one penny each to the amount of
$500, and will be sold for $4,000.
Coupons of this ticket when pre-
sented by the original purchaser
will be accepted by agents of the
Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic
Railroad, for tickets. One great ad-
VANTAGE of this book is the fact that
the coupons represent money In
denominations, and the agent will
pull from the book scrip coupons to
the amount of full tariff fares, giving
in exchange a ticket to the point to
which passenger desires to make his
trip. The use Of mileage tables, as
in the case of the interchangeable
Mileage Book will be unnecessary,
and it is reasonable to assume that
a ticket can be furnished to pas
senger presenting his scrip book as
quickly as a ticket can be sold him
for cash.
While full traffic fares will be de-
tatched from the scrip book, the
passenger makes his trip for 800
of the fare, inasmuch as the book
is sold at a discount of 300.
This book will not only be honor
ed by the Atlanta, Birmingham &
Atlantic Railroad, but by practically
all of the lines in the Southeastern
territory. The Atlanta, Birmingham
& Atlantic Railroad will place these
books on sale at practically all of
their stations. 1t is expected that
this form of ticket will be an innO-
walton and just as soon as passen-
gers begin to enjoy the advantages
of the book it will doubtless become
very popular.

publication of 1872 pages, devoted
to the proceedings of the American
Bankers convention recently held
in New Orleans, which brought
about 5000 bankers into the South,
many of whom took side trip to
the Panama canal country.
The visit of these bankers and
the new ideas they gained of the
south's property are expected to
contribute substantially to the de-
velopement of the section.

He was joined by policeman Os-

Hunters Life in the Hands
Of Gov. Slaton

Atlanta. Dec. 19-Today or to-
morrow Governor John M. Slaton
will sign the order committing j. G,
Hunters death sentence to life inn
prisonment. At least such action
is confidently expected. The fact
that the prison board has unami-
mously recommended commute
ton, and the further fact that many
Chatham county officials believe
Hunter innocent, have weighed
heavily in Hunters favor.
Governor Slaton as the chief
executive, now has the full respon-
sibility of the man S life or death up
on his own hands. Individually,
he is said to be uncertain of Hun
ter's guilt and under the circum-
stances it is not believed that he
will be willing to see him hang.
Hunter is the Savannah man
who is under sentence to die Fri.
day for the murder of his wife and
another woman. He was convicted
on circumstantial evidence.

Post Office Robbery
Yeggmen Make Entrance Of the Fitzgerald Fost Oice
SUNDAY Nisht Make Good Their Escape with Registered
Packages. Appears To Be the Work Of Amateurs

could be informed a hasty examina-
ton was made and it was found
that four drawers containing regis
tered packages were missing. In
their haste the robbers left a con-
siderable ammount of currency in a
separate division of the safe. Early
Monday morning Mr.. VIII Hyde,
who lives on West pine street,
phoned the post master that there
was some clew of the ROBBERY on his
premises. The post master went
hastily to the place and found that
the robbers had left the drawers,
one of the registered packages and
considerable papers Of no worth at
the rear of Mr.. Hyde's barn.
Mr.. Kicker has been busy getting
out an invoice to find out exactly
the amount the robbers carried
away. 1t is estimated that they
got something between one thous-
and and fifteen hundred dollars.
There seems to be no clue to the
robbers. For the last several days
suspicious characters have been
noticed around town, but no special
attention was paid them until after
the robbery. Detectives are busily
engaged on the case.

Two GeorSians Doomed
By CINCINNATI Enquirer

Why Not Senator Bacon OF Gena-
tor Smith for President? 1t
Inquiries
Why not Augustus Octavious Ba-
con or Hoke Smith for the Demo
cratic nomination for president, asks
The Cincinnati Enquirer in an edi-
torial this week, in which attention
is called to the fact that the party
is full of splendid timber for the
white house. The boom for the two
Georgians, which follows a tribute
Champ Clark and Oscar Underwood,
is as follows:
What of Georgias honored, son,
Augustus 0. Bacon, whose legal
attainments, whose high sense of
duty and sturdy insistence upon
abiding within the powers of the
constitution would make him an
ideal president? In Senator Bacon
the party would have a candidate
progressive as we'll as safe and con-
sentative.
Georgia has sent another eminent
man but recently to the senate who
has served his country and his par
ty ably and we'll in other fields
of public service, and measures
up in intellect, learning, training,
culture and courage with any man
named for the presidency.
Hon. Smith in 1896 was one of
those who failed not to answer the
call of the people of Georgia in
and to follow the democratic party
its declaration of principles, Civ
ing up high Office rather than sur
render his convictions as to what
was politely right.
He stands in daylight and dis
dams to hide
An act to which by honor he
is tied"
"Hoke has ever stood with his
people and for his people and has
earned the confidence of all Demo-
Gratis thru his attachment to the
party in hours of darkness as well
as in those of brilliant glory.
The list of available men in the
senate could be heightened, but the
Enquirer only desires to call atten-
ton of the public to the large num-
Der of tried and true men that the
Democratic party can make its Sc
lection from when it names its
leader for the campaign of 1912"

Foreign Minister Machado stated
today that these assurances had been
received from the Spanish government
and added: Madrid has for some
time considered the Portuguese mon
archists in Spain near the border as
inoffensive persons, merely finding an
asylum from troubles in their own
country. Now Spain Is convinced that
these refugees are planning hostilities
against the republic, thus misusing
the privileges Of asylum.

near the frontier they are ordered by
the government to move to the interior

the election for Sept. Il. The dissoIu-

rles the question Of reciprocity between
the United States and Canada be-
fore Canadian electorate, where the re-
ciprocity issue, from this time until the
election, Sept. I'll. will be the controlling
issue.
The announcement of the dissolution
was the fulhllment of Premier Laurier'a
ultimatum delivered to the opposition
forces last Monday that continued re-
sistance to vote would be met by an
appeal to the country.
The present Liberal government
has a large majority in the dominion
parliament but absence of a closure
rule had made 1t impossible to secure a
vote by which this majority could adopt
the reciprocity measure.
I'm the event of the SUCCESS of the
Liberal party at the polls is SEPTEMBER.
the new parliament will at once pass
the reciprocity measure OF Premier
Laurier and prevent the shelving OF
reciprocity between the United states
and Canada.

time this afternoon or evening. The
defense finished its testimony this fore
noon and the arguments Of the attor-

session will be held If necessary.
The two important features of the
case today were both damaging to
Sperry. 1t was shown in rebuttal that
Louis Sommerfield. the youth implicat-
ed with Sperry could talk German. This
Sommerfield denied. The testimony
was brought out because the Mckenzie
boy declared that he had heard his al
legged assailants talk in some foreign
language.
The other feature was the evidence
that both Spsrry and Sommerfield were
shown to be about the same size az
Carl Fodness. Fodness was the young
man to whom young Mckenzie compar-
ed his alleged assailants as to size.
