MR.. UNDERWOOD

Meanwhile Mr.. Underwood has a
work to do in Washington for which ne
has revealed remarkable aptitude. 1t
is not too much to sag that the existing
harmony among the Democratic MEM
bcrs of the House, and the ability they
showed at the last session to work to-
ccthcr, are largely due to his sk!!i"l

The SonServa-
tive South

Not many days ago, it was suggested
in an editorial in this paper that the pec-
pie OF that section of the Union that
tried a half a century ago to break up
the Union OF the States, might possibly
turn out to be the home of a conser-
vatism that would stand as barrier
against change in our scheme of gov
crnment that would destroy the fabric
of the Constitution adopted by our wise
forefathers, and ratified by the States
that had fought for and achieved indie
pcndcnce and freedom.
AS evidence that such thing may be
among the possibilities paragraph is
here quoted from speech made by
Hon. Oscar w. Underwood, OF Ala
bama, to the Young Mems Democratic
League of ST. Louis:

AS the reader knows, Mr.. Underwood
is the Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee OF the House of Representa-
tiveS at Washington. But for the fact
that he is native and lifelong resi-
dent Of the South he would stand a fine
chance to be made the Democratic can
didate for President next year. Candor

qualified for the performance of the d1-
ties OF the great Office as any one in
his party who has been mentioned in
that connection. and it is not doubted

"Some Democrats want to put
the initiative and referendum
plank into the national platform

think that would be unwise.
The initiative and referendum
as a local issue is sometimes
successful. But when you at
tempt to apply it to the United

TO CONTINUE
CANVASS FOR
FUNDS TODAY

Success Is In Sight For the
Movement

To continue the canvass for funds
for the Board of Trade the directors
of that body are called to meet this
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock at the Plan
ters' bank building, where the third
canvass for funds will be begun.
Already a good sum has been sub
scribed to the fund, so that it is be-
lieved that the obtaining of the re-
mainder needed for the purpose of
defraying the expenses of a modern
board of trade organization will soon
be met. This is the purpose with
which the canvassers will meet this
afternoon.
There are many business men who
have not yet been seen by any of the
members of the board of directors OF
others who are working for the sue,
cess of the movement. But every ont
will be seen, and it is the duty of ev-
cry citizen to help in this worthy
movement.

Swimming at Prospect park is one
of the most popular diversions OF
many of the younger set these warm
May days, and the sport is growing
still more popular with those who
like the water, especially with the
young lady swimmers.
At the usual hour for the daily dip,
which is just before noon customa-
rlly, the pool at the park sometimes
resembles Tybee in July or some othe"
poular resort; as the graceful young
mermaids disport themselves in div
ing and swimming. The GOODNESS of
the water is no bar to the young
swimmers, who enjoy it just the same,
and the day now seems warm indeed
when no trip is taken to the park.
Every day the pool at the park is
growing more popular. Though only
few at first enjoyed the bathing
and swimming the number is daily
growing larger, while the Sunday
afternoon crowds, composed of men,
to be sure, are unusually large ones.
On account of it's nearness to the
city, Prospect park is the most pop
ular of the bathing resorts near
Americas. 1t bids fair to be more
popular than ever this season, if the
number of bathers who are frequent
ing it this early in the season are to
be taken as an indication of this.

HAS
INVITATION
TO AUGUSTA

Superintendent A. G. Miller of the
local schools, was the recipient yes
terday of a letter from Superinten
dent Lawton B. Evans, of the public
schools of Augusta in which Mr.
Evans extended a cordial invitation
to Mr.. Miller to come to Augusta,
along with eleven other of the mosr
prominent educators of the state, who
will make the trip to Augusta to in
spect the public school system there
next Monday and Tuesday
AS the invitations are extended per-
sonally by Mr.. Evans to only twelve
OF the leading educators of the state,
it is a distinctive honor that has been
bestowed upon Mr.. Miller, who was
included among the fortunate TWELVE.
Mr. Miller is not certain now thai
he can accept the invitation, though
he hopes to do so.
The school system of Augusta is
generally recognized as one of the
very best, if not the best, in the en-
tire state. 1t is wonderful stimu-
lus for the superintendent from any
other school in the state to have the
privilege of inspecting the schools
there under such favorable circum-
stances.
