FUND Of $4,000
ALREADY RAISED
F0RUN|vERS|TY
Eighty Acres on PeaChtree Road
Near Silver Lake Are Sc
cured for 0gIethorpe.

Plans for the establishment OF
Oglethorpe University on Peachtree
road, at it's junction with the boule-
ward leading to Silver Lake. are de-
veloping rapidly, and an important
announcement regarding the move
ment is expected as soon as the At
lanta committee, which is an extern
sive one, can be gotten together
DIR. Thornwell Jacobs, who has the
matter in hand, has secured subscrip
tons of $4,000 to the university fund
within the last ten days, all outside of
Atlanta, and it is growing with graft
flying rapidity. Already splendid
fund has been raised, with the main
campaign yet to come.
The site chosen for the university Ia
a tract of approximately so acres on
Peachtree road, the larger portion of
which was given for university pur-
poses by the owners of the Silver
Lake property and c. H. Ashford.
Upon the opposite corner Of the
road and boulevard will be located
the university chapel, upon a tract
also given from the Silver Lake prop
erty.
The consensus of opinion is that
no finer or better site for Oglethorps
University could have been chosen
anywhere around Atlanta, and the
presence of the lake is considered
particularly valuable, as 1t will be
used by the students for their boat
races and other aquatic sports.
Big Development Coming.
This entire territory, including the
university tract and the property ad-
jacent to it, is on the eve of one of
the most important and extensive de-
velopments Atlanta has known in
years.
Announcement by L. P. Bottenfield
of the early development of the Sill
yer Lake property into residence
community, to be known as Silver
Lake Estates, has been received with
enthusiastic interest, not only in At
| lanta, but in many other sections
where this property is known.
I'VE have received hundreds of in
quiries about Silver Lake Estates
since our announcement just one week
ago." Mr.. Bottenfield said, "and the
| enthusiasm with which our plans have
been greeted has proven most graft
| flying.
Our plan for a land dividend
| equivalent in value, at agreed selling
| price, to the amount of each stock
subscription, has proven a most pop
ular feature"

Mary Duke. who is to inherit some

great tobacco magnate, is the toast

The students have organized for

Ever Sleep in Church?
Yes? There's Reason
It's the Color Scheme Behind the
Pulpit That Gives the
Drowsy Feeling.

DAYTON, OHIO, Nov. 16.-No
longer need the preacher feel offended
II one of his congregation goes to
sleep during services. 1t is not the
dryness of the sermon that does It.
The cause extends back of the pull
pit-a few feet at least-according
to the Religious Telescope official
organ of the United Brethren de-
nomination. "Sleopiness in church Is
due to the color scheme back of the
pulpit" says the paper.
Dull colors prevail, especially dull
brown and brown is said to be very
suporific.
IF a worshiper shuts his eyes
against 1t he can keep awake, but If
he keeps his eyes fixed upon it he
will go to sleep"

GEORGIA CORN
CLUB WORK To
Be EXPANDED
Raising of Oats, Hay, Cotton and
Live Stock To Be Added
to List.

The Georgia Corn Club work Is to
be expanded so as to include not only
corn, but oats, hay pigs live stock
ana cotton. This information was
brought from Washington by j. Phil
Campbell, corn club and farm demon
stratlon agent for Georgia, who has
just returned from the convention of
agricultural college and experiment
station officials held there.
In conference Saturday with Sec
rotary W. G. Cooper, of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, and Chairman
IL. G. Hastings, of the corn show
committee, Mr., Campbell outlined the
plans the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture in cooperation
with the State College of Agriculture
at Athens, has in view, He said:
Rotation Clubs Planned.
THE new feature is the Boys Ro-
tation Clubs, or the three crop clubs
which we have just instituted and in
which the age limit is raised from
IS to 81 years. The rotation clubs
are a direct outgrowth of the boys
corn clubs, and already e-half of
the boys who have come through
with their corn crops this year have
planted their acre in oats.
They will follow their oats with
peas, renewing and enriching the land,
and next year will select a new acre
for the cultivation of their corn.
The live stock movement is grow
ing gradually The Georgia State
College of Agriculture is actively in
terested, and only recently Professor
Jarnagon bought for farmers in Tel
fair County carload of Percheron
mares. This work, begun by V. l..
Collier in Pike County only a few
years ago, has already resulted in a
Percheron colt show. The offer of a
Percheron mare as a prize by the
Central of Georgia Railway has great
ly interested the boys in this phase
of the work"
Cotton a Local Feature.
Mr.. Campbell explained that the
movement to incorporate cotton in
the corn club and rotation club
movements was entirely local fea-
ture, introduced at the suggestion OF
the Central of Georgia Railway and

which led up to the desertion of her
self and her son. She informed City
Attorney Stevens. who is conducting
campaign to drive the fortune tell
ers out of business, that her husband
had been the victim of a woman who
claimed the spiritual power professed
by the So called clairvoyants, psychic
advisers and trance artists.
II and my son have been the ones
who have suffered from the decep-
ton of these people," said Mrs.
Thompson.
II tried hard to coincide with the
views of my husband. who placed
great credence In the powers pro-
fessed by this woman. l endeavored
to prove to myself that her powers
were real, but couldn't bring myself

there came a day when Mr.. Thomp-
son and myself had an understand

Then came the crisis. He began to
drift more and more under the in
fiuence of this woman.
Finally, on the advice of the
psychic adviser, Mr.. Thompson with
drew his deposits from the banks.

s
Question yourself as though YOU were
the manager questioning a beginner in
the game. Do you really control
yourself? If not, to what extent, if
any, DO you control yourself?
Answer that question truthfullv.
You KNOW what you OUGHT to
do. If you give to foolishness the
strength that should 60 into work. YOU
know it.
You don't need to be told that if
you did every day the things that Won
know you ought to do you would BE
a success, instead Ct thinking about
success later.
There is just one question for a
man, and that is, "Have | got control
of that particular atom of humanity
which is MYSELF?'
If you haven't got control, GET TT
you will do nothing without it.
A young man asked Huntington
long ago how he could succeed.
Huntington answered, "Take $4,000
and go into the business of raising
rubber"
The young man answered, 81 haven't
got $4,000"
Haven't you?" said Huntington.
Go and get it."
If you haven't got control, we say to
you in Huntington's words, go AND
GET IT." You can't start life without
control any more than you can start
in the rubber business without ten
The beauty of it is, fortunately, that
you CAN have control if you will.
The trouble with young men is that
they like to have success handed to
them as a cigarette is handed. But
success is different from cigarette
very different.

indifferent to all that interferes with
your control" If you can't do that
II you must forever be wabbling back
and forth, resisting to-day and Welding
to-morrow-there is little hope for
you.
You know the rules that govern the
baseball pitcher-apply those rules to
yourself. YOU be the baseball, let
your brain be the pitcher, and let it
impel you to travel through life as you
ought to travel. That is the secret of
success.
Life is big game, not tied down
by arbitrary rules, luckily, but filled
with possibilities unlimited, with the
fullest scope for original thought and
daring plays"
Each may make the game for
himself.
Each man who enters life has
chance of making the great game
better and different, so that all men
may play the game better and live more
happily than men have done before.
But in the game of life, as in the
game Of baseball, one rule holds good
forever:
If you haven't got Control" YOU
can't be a champion pitcher.
For change, young man, take an
hour and think OF YOURSELF instead
of thinking about batting averages or
the remarkable achievement of some
thick necked, strong legged athlete
whose success or failure means nothing
TO YOU. Don't deceive yourself.

You must even control the HABIT

Appeal From Noxubee Students
To the People of Noxubee County:

To the People of Noxubee County:
Although we feel reluctant in address
ing this appeal to you, it IS more than
counterbalanced by the worthiness of
the cause. The opportunity is now pre-
sented BY which the people of Noxubeel
cdnnty can Belp aworthy cause and also
be honored very highly. A donation
of $4,000 has been made to erect
beautiful Y. M. C. A. building at the
Mississippi A. & M. College, provided
the people of Mississippi raise $40, 900.
If the $4,000 is not collected by the
first of January the plan falls through
and we get no Y. M. C. A. building.
At present about SlO,O00 is to be raised
in order to put this proposition through.
The building committee has offered
prize to the county club raising the
largest amount, consisting of a bronze
tablet to be placed in the building with
the name of the club and all the men,
bers. At present Noxubee county holds
third place in the contest and only
few dollars will raise us to first place.
We, boosting Noxubee county here as
it has never been boosted before, feel
sure that the people of Noxubee county
will aid US in winning the prize.
We will very highly appreciate any
contribution, large or small. The con-
tributions are to be sent to Mr.. T. W.
Davis, who is treasurer of the Y. M. G.
A. building committee. Please be
SURE that you state in your letter that
the contribution is from Noxubee coun-
ty in order that it might be placed to
the credit of Noxubee county. Thank.

tions, we remain,
