LONDON, July 1.-"Sackville suit
parties" are the latest in English So
ciety. Fashionable women, many of
them of the court set, are daily invit-
ing their friends to attend such par
ties at the trial of the suit brought
by relatives of the late Sir John Muir
ray Scott to break his will because it
bequeathed Lady Sackville $1,000
600.
Lady Evans wife of the justice, to-
day occupied the judges private gal
lery with friends. Other women oc-
cupied the ordinary gallery. Some took
seats at the counsel table and others
sat up on the steps leading to the
jury box.
Lady Sackville was constantly un-

Among the spectators were Mrs
Reginald McKenna, wife of the Home
Secretary; Mrs. Asquith, wife of The
Premier; Miss Violet Asquith, daugh-
ter Of the Premier, and Lady Benja-
min Franklin.
The defense closed day with a
general denial from Lady Sackville
that she had exercised undue influ-
ence over Sir John.
Sir Edward Carson summed up for
the defense and declared that no evil
dence had been brought out to show
the existence of a Codicil annulling
the bequest to Lady SaCkville.
He asked that the suit be dismissed
but Justice Evans refused to do this,
deciding that it must 20 10 the jury.

100000 IN 1920
CLUB PLAN IS
ENDORSED
Booster Campaign for Atlanta
Wins Favor - Button and
Slogan Suggested,

The Georgian's suggestion Of 4 500,
900 Club for Atlanta, the purpose of
which shall be to boost Atlanta. in
season and out, TO the end that its
population in 1920 may be 100000, has
been endorsed publicly by a number
fuential citizens. and all that remains
now to make it a success is the CO.
operation of citizens generally.
Everybody can speak a good word
every booster have some sort OF iden-
tification certificate that will mark
him Immediately as from Atlanta
wherever he may be, no matter how
far from home.
Il has been suggested that some
kind of button be selected, that wear
ers may display constantly upon their
coat lapeis, and that ii be suitably
inscribed with catch phrase
phrase that may be made familiar
throughout the entire nation.
Plan Is Endorsed Generally.
This suggestion has the endorse
ment OF numerous citizens interest
ed in The Georgian's scheme to boost
and boom Atlanta, and every one to
whom it is mentioned at once puts
the seal of his approval upon it.
One little sentence, You press the
button, we do the rest" once upon
a time made a small manufacturing
enterprise known from one end of
the world to the other In A few
short years, through the advertising
that sentence gave it, it became the
greatest enterprise of it's kind on
earth and to-day is doing a business
that runs well up INTO the millions
annually.
If a catchy button. with a snappy
phrase inscribed thereon. might be
DEVISED button that would make a
hit wherever seen, with a few words
on it that would linger in the mem
DRY of the observer pleasantly and
impressively-it would be, within the
next few years of incalculable value
TO Atlanta.
Button Must Tell Volumes.
To be effective, the button must
speak volumes in a very few words
1t must be designed to arrest the
attention of the most casual observer
and to prompt him, perhaps, to ask
questions.
Atlantans travel everywhere. There
is not a State in the Union to-day
that is not harboring from so to 5000
Atlantans abroad for one reason and
another
Suppose each one of these loyal
citizens was wearing a button such
as the one suggested
Wouldn't it be a fine business for
Atlanta? There can be no doubt of
it!
Who has an idea along this line?
The Georgian would like to know.
