Georgia Woman In
Flight From Mexico.

The story of a daring flight across
the Rocky Mountains to escape Mex
lean revolutionists was told yester-
day to The Sunday American by Mrs.
Tom Watson, of No. North Park
avenue, LAGRANGE. The story is one
of thrilling details, of adventures as
perilous Of hardships as trying as
any in Bijou melodrama.
Mrs. Watson and her husband, af-
ter several prosperous years resi-
dence in Durango, Mexico, were driv-
en- to the States by fear of the revo-
lutionists. They made their way
across the Rocky Mountains on horse
back and came up the west coast to
San Diego, Cal, landing there August

IL also is admitted that within this

elsewhere in Mexico. There is prac-
teal peace in this vast domain. The
Federalists occupy only some of the

houses on the border were open to
Carranza SO that he could get artil-

Within a week or so, the Carran-

TIMELY RELIEF FOR FISK.

Institution For Higher Edue,t;on
Meets Terms Of Contributors.
The trustees OF Fisk university, Nash
vile. Tenn, have succeeded In meeting
the terms OF several conditional offera
Tor financial aid In the current az.
penses Of the institution. The an
nouncement Of the schools good for
tune came as q Happy New Years"
gift to the faculty, students and friends
OF this noted Institution for higher
learning.
Long before the death of the late
George A. Gates, president Of Fisk
university, 1t was known that the insti-
tuition was in urgent need of funds.
For some time the president and board
Of trustees had been conducting a
financial campaign to meet current ex-
penses. The death OF DR.. Gates early
In November, 1912. was therefore a
great misfortune
Several conditional gifts had also
been secured previous TO DR.. Gates
death One was for $500 for five
years as a part Of the current expenses,
being the offer of Mr.. Julius Rosen-
wald OF Chicago. Notwithstanding
this generous offer. the trustees have
had hard struggle to meet its condi-
lions.
Mr.. ROsenwald says In his statement
to the trustees: Il will, for a term OF
6va raorS 10 opa % fo,,r ,,o-.o,,. ,,-kr
will contribute to Fisk university ST.
500 per annum. or / will give $500
annually for FIVE years as soon as you
have found persons who will contrib
ute the balance Of a $4,000 annual
fund for the same term, no cOntribu-
bops to be less than $1,000 per annum;
further, that these additional subscrip-
tons must ali come from new sub
scribers or additional subscriptions
from former subscribers; further. that
the full amount of these pledges must
be received and the first payment
made"
The trustees have also been making
strenuous efforts for two years 10 raise
q fund of $4,000 to pay on accumu-
lated indebtedness, make necessary re-
pairs on the plant and leave a balance
for endowment. Nearly two-thirds Of
the amount has been raised $6O,009
being offered by the general education
board. J. Pierpont Morgan OF New
York has pledged $4,000. This sum,
with a number OF smaller pledges,
amounting to 1871. 900. is conditional
upon the raising Of the total amount.
The authorities Of the university are
now planning a campaign in Nashville,

the engineer and fireman were Masons.
Colonel James II. Young, who was
the illustrious head of the Third North
Carolina regiment during the HispanO-
American war and one of the most
prominent Afro-Americans In the coun-
try, did much TO make the meeting the
great success. that it was. He is a po-
tent factor in every activity that tends
for the conserving Of the Negroes best
interest in the south and is regarded by
the leading officials Of the state and the
best element of both races as a man Of
high character
He has managed the endowment de-
partment upon a safe and comprehen-
sive basis. In making his address
Colonel Young said that it was his
tenth annual report and that it was a
pleasure for him to state that Masonry
is still moving forward in the march Of
progress, as is shown by the formation
Of thirty-seven new lodges as well as
the increase in the warranted lodges.
