Performed in Case of Mrs.
Il. 7. Davenport

An operation for the TRANSMISSION OF
blood was successfully made yester-
day morning in the case of Mrs. H.
T. Davenport, and with the prospect
of beneficial results accruing. The
operation was performed by DR.. W. S.
Prather and Dr. Charles c. Harold,
of Macon, the latter nephew OF
Mrs. Davenport
More than a quart of blood was
drawn from the arm of Mr.. Harold
Davenport, of the faculty of the State
University, who reclined beside his
mother during the long and painful
process.
Mrs. Davenport has been quite i'll
for some time, and recently her con-
dition became such that the transfus-
ion of fresh blood into her veins was
deemed necessary. Both she and her
son stood the operation quite as well
as her family and physicians had ex-
pected.
The many friends of this good wO.
man, so generally beloved in Amer
icus, will hope earnestly for her Ill
innate recovery.

A RESPONSIVE CHORD
BY NORA NAIL.

what did he ever see in herr
The question fell from the lips of a
girl of twenty, fully conscious of the
budding beauty of young womanhood
and all it meant of power she
hasn't apparently one redeeming fea-
1ure; why, she is positively gawky."
The woman addressed, an attractive
1natron of about IS, turned criti-
cal gaze after the figure of the little
woman disappearing down the street,
sand knowing smile curled her lips.
Il will tell you" she said.
About five years ago Arthur Smith
was engaged to the most beautiful girl
In our set; you are too young to re-
znember just how beautiful she was
At any rate, she completely conquered
Arthur-he had eyes for no one else
when she was near. At every func-
&ton he was her devoted slave-every
wish was anticipated and gratified-
nothing was too good for her-no task
too difficult to perform that would add
to her comfort and happiness.
when the Spanish-Amerlcan war
broke out, Ann Reynolds, now Mrs.
Smith, had been studying for two
years to be trained nurse. She had
one supreme gift-the gift of tender
ness, and Nellie, in woman this Is
not to be despised. All women do
not possess it. AIMS brother and Ar
thur happened to be injured about the
same time and were placed on beds
side by side in the same southern hos
pital. On account of her training
and her brothers illness, Ann Rey-
nolds volunteered to go as nurse to
this hospital, and endeavor to save
not only her brothers life, but to do
what she could to save the lives OF
others who had become Ill in the gov
eminent service,
About this time Arthur had writ
ten an appealing letter home, or. rath-
er, had asked that it be written, as
he was too i'll to do more than ex-
press a wish. asking that his sweet
heart come to him (they had been

that she feared contracting the fever

that she feared contracting the fever
and thereby marring her beauty.
when Ann arrived at the hospital
and found that the patient in the bed
next to her brother was from the
same city as she, they said she work
ed untiringly with him night after
night with an intensity that probably
saved his life-at least, the doctors
gave her the credit-and won out
with glowing words of praise from
them all. When it was all over, how
ever, and he was on the high road to
health, she succumbed under the
strain, and lay for weeks lowering be-
tween life and death.
During her illness Arthur wrote a
short note to his fiancee, releasing her
from her engagement, and when he re-
turned home, which did not happen
for many weeks afterward, he an
nounced his engagement to the little
woman who had risked n very pre-
cious and useful life to save that Of
perfect stranger. One of his old
friends said afterward that In an
nouncing the news to him he had
made the remark that those few
weeks in the hospital had taught him
the most valuable lesson In his life
that beauty of face and form, while
pleasing to the eye, were but fleeing
possessions, and that as he watched
the devoted and self-sacrificing little
woman moving from one to the other
of the sufferers, giving her service
willingly and with a grace and sweet
ness that frightened the whole place,
bringing hope and sunshine to many
a homesick and despairing man, he
had realized that there was something
deeper, nobler and more transcendent-
ly beautiful in the world than mere
physical beauty, and one which would
last until death and he finished by
saying: And so l lost my heart, or,
rather, gave it into keeping of the no
blest woman l had ever met, or ever
expect to meet in this world
The speaker finished the story in
a low, soft voice, and as she glanced
over at the beautiful young girl oppo-
site. she noticed tear trickling down
her cheek, and the serious look that
met hers from the brown eyes told
her that the recountal had touched q
responsive chord in her nature.

LEE COUNTY
CLAIMS THE
OLDEST CLERK
NEAR HALFCENTURYIN OFFICE
Mr.. Morgan Has Again Quail.
fled For Office

Mr.. James Morgan, the veteran
clerk of the Lee county superior court,
came up to Smithville yesterday to
qualify once more for thee lerkship of
the Lee superior court, to which he
was reelected recently without oppo-
sition.
Mr.. Morgan is probably the Oldest
superior court clerk in point of years
of service in the state of Georgia,
having filled this position continu-
ously in Lee county for forty years. It
is believed that Mr.. Morgan has no
peer among the superior court clerks
Of the state, as there has not yet
arisen one to dispute his claim to
priority in this particular,
Not alone as one of the veterans
of the service is priority claimed for
Mr.. Morgan, but also in efficiency and
general qualifications. There is not
a more affable or accommodating pub
lie officer in Lee county than he. Amy
visitor or attorney calling at his Of
fee receives the most courteous at
tention and also the most authentic
information relative to the data that
is furnished by the clerk. In the
discharge of his duties as clerk Mr..
Morgan is ably assisted by his son,
Mr.. Wesley Morgan, who is as capa-
BILE in filling the position of clerk as
his father.
