One of the most interesting events
that will occur in connection with the
reunion of Confederate veterans in
Macon next week will be the reunion
of the students of Oglethorpe college
one of the most noted of the educa-
ton al institutions of the state prior
to the civil war.
Some of the most distinguished men
of Georgia during that eventful period
We're students or alumni of this insti-
tuition, which numbered among other
famous men of its classes Sidney La
nier, the poet. The meeting of the
alumni and former students of the
college will be most interesting one,
as is shown by the references made
in the following letter that has been
sent out broadcast throughout the
state:
Half century ago wars rude
shock closed the doors of our loved
alma mater, Oglethorpe university,
sundered the genial ties which bound
us together as a student body and
transferred US from the peaceful joys
of the old campus to the bloody fields
of battle where
Like the leaves of the forest when
summer is green,
That host with their banners at sun
set were seen;
Like the leaves of the forest when
autumn hath blown,
That host on the morrow lay withered

Fellow student, nothing could be
more enjoyable than for us, the sur
yiving students, to meet together
again after a separation of fifty years
and no place more appropriate than
at the reunion of Confederate Veter-
ans at Macon, Georgia, on May Z, 8
and 8, 1912, where we will meet our
war comrades.

clerk of the superior court, in the Ma

DECLARED WON
 THROUGH FRAUD

Little Rock, June 28.- The Roosevelt Republicans in Arkan- sas are repudiating the Taft ticket and platform, and aligning
 themselves with the progressives
 under the Oyster Bay pennant. The latest to return from Chicago is former Postmaster W. $. Holt, who is a mostpronounced adher- ant of Roosevelt. He says there were ten rolled" delegates from Arkansas in the conference which nominated Roosevelt as the pro- gressive candidate. They were w. $. Holt, A. $. Fowler, Wiley Welch, Isaac T. Gilman, and H.
 NJ. Suggs, of Little Rock, George Legate of Polk County, Carl
 Spellman of Cleburue county, and F.. E Ritter of Marked Tree, and George c. Lewis, of Stutt- gart. The solid delegations from twelve republican states that had sat in the republican convention, besides ten partial delegations, sat in the conference where the third party was born.
 Mir. Holt bitterly denounces all of the republican machinery in Arkansas and the nation. declares that they have won through chi, canery and fraud, and that he declines to align himself with the receivers of stolen goods. It is expected that a statement will be issued in few days by the progressives outlining their pol icies and plans. The Roosevelt state ticket will not be with drawn.

that the Democratic floor Ieader of the house of representatives is a fac tor in the contest. If Oscar Under wood voted in a northern, western or eastern state he would be the candi- date William H. Taft would have to defeat in order to be reelected next November. There are really more boosters here for Underwood than any of the other possibilities, not ex. cepting Champ Clark.
 At the Clark headquarters, Edward Glenn and the other campaign man. agers for the Missourian will not ad. init that clouds are lowering over their chances, but the friends of Clark in other states are not so hopeful for success.

Mack Says Two Elements Must Join

Baltimore, June 2S.-Norman E. Mack declared that there must come a combination of two diverging inter- ests before the convention could make a nomination and settle it's fight He thus analysed the case:
 "As the convention now stands there are three conflicting clements The first is the Wilson-Bryan element, known as the radical progressives. The second is the Clark element, con. taining both progressives and con- servatiyes. The third is the Harmon and Underwood interests, which make up the conservative clement
 Two of these elements will have to unite and there is now no means of telling how or when this can be brought about. The means has not yet been found"

W. (. I. U.

Think of it. Twenty four women and an equal number of children braved the storm of yes terday in order to render the | beautiful program prepared for .he occasion. Pledge cards were festooned aronnd the wall of the spacious reception hall, u r. rounded by a large white bow, and flags of the organization. Ones heart beat high with hope and confidence for the future of the work when so many blessed white ribbon mothers dedicated their little ones to this holy cause. How much it means. Their little feet will keep step to white rib bon songs; they learn to love our notices and our watch words of victory. They can not do this unless the mothers do their part ! in placing them under this holy influence.
 We'll may the W. c. T. U. work with untiring zeal to win children to total abstinence and give them areason for the hope that is within them, and to rally them around their banner which reads; "Tremble, King Alcohol, W e Shall Grow Up," land to be cheer- ed by their young voices as they iOyously sing:
 ."We are coming to the rescue. We are coming in our youth, The homes we build tomorrow Shall be guarded by the truth. We are coming, coming to the
 rescue
 0fpurity and right,
 And for a winSome token We wear the ribbon white" "
 So we covet every child in Prescott. Bring them to the
  meetings, and let us, with them study these things that make for purity of life.
 It is a significant fact that of every 100 children who sign the pledge 9S keep it. Of every 100 grown people who sign it 90 break it. Then let us look we'll to the formation of right in these little ones. It is better than re- formation.

Scores of persons lose their chanSes
Of being happily married through MAX
Ing an unnecessary obstacle of money.
The importance OF it is often exagger-

pose to girl because Of his small in

understanding and tangled lives result
from the silence. More unfortunate
love affairs are the result of what has
not been said than Of spoken words.
= When a man has q small sure in

there is no legitimate reason for his

for that matter, to prevent marriage.
People are so desperately afraid,
though, Of beginning married life in
small way. They fear the sacrifices
which they will be called upon to
make-of the criticism to which they
will be subjected. Many years Of hap

a mistake for young people to want to
