Little Family Left Destitute by
Men Who Promised TO
Care for Them.

The county Jail doors swung outward
today. Into the bright morning sun
shine stepped John B. Ingram. The old
mountaineering if you will
carried his worn Bible close to his
breast He was free. He had been
released on bond-the hope he had ex
pressed that he might return to his lit
tie mountain cabin and help out his
family" was realized.
Three Atlantans. all prominent men,
made Migrants little prayer for deliv-
erance possible. They are Chess Lago-
marsino, Henry Schaul and NJ. W. Lew
is. They, reading his pitiful story in The
Georgian, were willing to risk $500
worth of their worldly goods on the
word of a mountaineer. They signed
the bail bond which made Ingram a cit
izen Of the world once more-restOred
him to his family and allowed him to
take up the broken threads of existence
where the skeins had dropped way up
in the Georgia hills. They were eager
to help him put bread upon his own
table.
Thanks His Benefact ors.
When Ingram realized that he was
going home-home to the little worn
wife and three children suffering for
the actual necessities of life in that
mountain cabin-he asked the where
abouts of his benefactors.
Taken to their presence, Ingram, in
his queer but sincere way, turned to
the men and in the simplest words
thanked them for what they were do
ing.
You can't know what this all means
to- me. To be given a chance to go
back up there and work for my wife
and children means a whole lot, kin
tell you.
why, 1 got a letter only this very
mornin' from my wife and she tells me
that she had to sell our kitchen table
last week to buy meal and bacon.
That's pretty hard, for she amt none
too strong a woman and I'm 'fraid the
worry of this thing'll jist wear her
down to nothin'."

A bier was rolled into the hall. on
which reposed the figure Of corpse,
covered with a sheet. Black clad pail
bearers attended it, and behind a group
of sheeted figures. Fred Houser was
a chaplain, and read the funeral serv-
ice of Care, Worry and Sorrow" who
was the unfortunate person on the bier.
Enough to say that the dead was for
gotten, even before the corpse was
wheeled from the hall. Just to prove il.
the POSTMASTER announced that the
Givemell quartet would sing. They
did; they sang during the evening, from
soup to nuts-that is, when the eighty
others were not singing. The Give
nell quartet was composed OF w. J..
Hubbard, Leslie Hubbard, j. O. Pitts
and e. G. Hanson, and the fact that
they escaped without so much as a
piece of bread being thrown at them
was proof of the excellence of their Of
fering.
Several speeches We're billed on the
program, and the speakers were intro
duced and arose to do their few lines.
But none Of them got much nearer than
this to oratory. The guests had ham
mers, and alarm clocks, and gongs. and
lusty lungs, and it was a matter Of
pride that nobody should speak. They
were frank to announce that they were
after the speakers goats" and they
got them.
Preston S. Arllwright, president of
the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany, was the first one, Mr.. "Arclight"
somebody called him. They asked him
to tell why electricity was shocking.
Mr.. Arkwrigint succumbed gracefully.
John Sparrow. president of the Bir-
mingham Ad club, was not so easily
subdued. Like Reguus among the
Carthaginians, he braved a bowling
mob such as Birmingham man might
expect when he talks OF Birmingham to
Atlantans. In the course of his speech
he gave POSTMASTER Adams a little
iron bull.
Birmingham hands the bull to At
lanta," he announced.
r. l.. Foreman was billed TO speak
about the Associated Charities. and
why Atlanta supports them. He told a
pretty little tale about his visit to
Westminster Abbey, which nearly broke
up the assembly.

AD-MEN HEAR "WILSON'
A T GRIDIRON DINNER
AND CHEER POLICE CHIEF

The Atlanta Ad Mems club gave a
banquet at the Kirnball house last
night.
This story could very we'll stop right
here, because great deal already has
been said in the few words. It might
as well stop right here because the re-
porter lost his notes. he thinks. May
be he didn't make any; maybe the
crazy scratches that he found on the
back of his dinner program today were
his notes. Be that as it may, the At
lanta AID Mems club gave its first an
nual gridiron dinner last night, and
more things happened than in six fren-
zied months of life in Mexico.
Standing more or less brightly out Of
the haze is the recollection of a per-
sonal chat with Woodrow Wilson, on
the hlghbrow topic of theories of gov
eminent. The Ad Mems club pulled off
a real stunt with this. At the chair of
every guest was the receiver Of tele-
phone. When the festivities were at
their height-that's when everybody is
singing, you know-Toastmast a. s.
Adams announced that message from
Woodrow Wilson in the New Willard
hotel in Washington. had been ar
ranged.
Everybody put his receiver to his
ear. The mellow voice Of telephone
girl was heard.
They Say 1t Was Real.
lo-hello-hello-is this Wash
ington? Is this the New Willard?
Governor Wilson, please? Governor
Wilson? All right, governor. here's Mr..
Adams for you, in Atlanta, go ahead
Mr.. Adams. for five minutes
The Ad Men sat for five minutes,
with the receivers glued to their ears,
faces from that of scornful skepticism
to that of holy awe, while a deep, pre-
else voice at the other end of the wire
talked Of Hamiltonlan and Jeffersonian
theories Of government predatory
wealth and trust octopuses.
If it wasn't really Governor Wilson,
the impression was the same. The Ad
Men say that the feature was bona fide
and that the genuine voice OF a genuine
Democratic president was heard in the
Atlanta banquet room. They talked Of
special arrangements which had been
made for them by the telephone COM
panies.
Oh, II Was a Big Night.
Anybody could tell, right at the start
Of tho evening. that it would be a big
night Guests paraded into the banquet
hall to the weird strains Of the flu
neral march. They wondered This
was not what the announcements had
led thrm to aspect Bur soon the
meaning ot the sadness was revealed.

BIG GAMES IN N. D. FOOTBALL HlSToRY-19oO.

Following the successful season of
1899 Notre Dame prepared a stilf
schedule for the first year of the new
century. Wisconsin, Michigan, Indi-
ana and Beloit, four of the strongest
teams in the west were met and al
though the gold and blue did not pull
out single victory in these contests
her warriors played splendid football
at all times.
In the first important game Of the
season Notre Dame fell before lndi-
ana. six to nothing. The gold and
blue were crippled early in the fray
but put up a plucky fight to the end.
Capt. Farley, who was shifted from
end to halfback during this year,
starred for the gold and blue. He
and his running mate Farragher tore
off several long gains against the state
team.
Beloit was the next stiff opponent
on the Notre Dame program. After
a stubbornly contested battle HOSTILE
ties ended with the count six to six,
each team having extended itself to
its limit in an effort to win. DiebOld
at quarter played a wonderful game
for the gold and blue. The mighty
Salmon, then in his freshman year,
was brought forcibly before the notice
of Notre Dame fans in this battle. He
worked at end and at fullback and
scored the gold and blues solitary
touchdown.
In its initial battle with Wisconsin
Notre Dame received the worst drub-
bling Of her history. Bewildered and
outclassed at every turn the gold and

| blue was buried under an avalanche
of touchdowns, the final count being
"a TO nothing.
Undaunted by it's terrible beating at
the hands of Wisconsin, Notre Dame
showed it's nerve and grit the follow
ing week by playing the great Michi-
gan eleven to a standstill. The VOL
verines got the jump on the gold and
blue and ran up seven points in the
first few minutes of play. After the
unfortunate start Notre Dame had
things its own way and kept the ball
in Michigan territory during the rest
of the battle In this fray the gold
and blue was minus the assistance of
her star halfback and captain, Farley,
and with him in the game the score
might have favored Notre Dame.
1t was in this battle that Salmon
found himself. He battered the VOL
VERNE line TO pieces and all but
scored. Though he weighed but 165
pounds his line plunging was irreristi-
BILE
The season of 1900 marked the
coming and passing of two of the
greatest players ever turned out at
NOtre Dame During that year the
unparalleled Salmon made good on
the gold and blue team and forced
the football worlG TO recognize him as
an exceptional aver. During that
year also Capt. Farley played his last
game as a Notre Dame man. leaving
behind him a reputation as a hard
worker and a clean sportsman that
has never been since surpassed.
