DEBATERS ARE
TO BE chosen
FOR CONTEST
WITH WARRENTON SCHOOL
Preliminary Contest viii Be
Held Here

A debate with the Warrenton High
School has been arranged by Mr. G..
&C. Youmans, principal of the High
School, and the immediate arrange
ments for the question to be debated
ard other matters necessary to the
successful management of the event
must be worked out soon.
1t has been decided that the Local
school shall have the choice of the
question to be debated, while the War
renton school will have the privilege
of selecting which side of the qucs-
tion they prefer to argue. In this wa3
this phase of the matter will be set
tied. So far the local school manage
ment has not selected definitely a
question for the debate. This will be
accomplished soon.
In order to secure for the de3ate
the best debaters among the students
at the High School a competitive con-
test will be held. At this preliminary
contest there will be chosen those stu
dents who will represent the l)c9l
school in the debate. This will be a
matter of special interest to the stu
dents of the High School, and indica.
tions point to lively rivalry for the
honors.

SENATOR Smith
Will CONFER
With WILSON
GEORGIAN TO MEET GOVERNOR
In Discussion of Important
Matters

Trenton, n. J., Jan. 7.-Senator Hoke
Smith of Georgia, will confer with
Governor Wilson here tomorrow.
The meeting is regarded as one Of
the most important which Governor
Wilson has had since he began to con-
suit democratic leaders. The presi-
dent elect has not declared himself
explicitly on the seniority rule, but the
activity of Senator Hoke Smith, and
other democrats intimately identified
with the Wilson campaign, has led
gone to believe that he tacitly ap-
proves the reorganization movement.
Governor Wilson also wants to
learn the views of the Georgia sana-
tor covering possible appointments to
the cabinet. Senator Smith was q
member of Grover Cleveland's cabi-
ret. His name has been among those
mentioned for cabinet portfolio, but
it is believed he wishes to remain il
the senate.
Senator Thomas P. Gore, of Okla
homa, will accompany Senator Smith
tomorrow. The oklahoma senator has
been conspicuous in the movement to
reorganize senate committees. Both
Senators Gore and Smith have been
since early in the pre-convention cam
paign, intimate advisers and support
ars of Governor Wilson.

DELAYED THE
SESSION FOR
THE FARMERS
CITY COURT begins MONDAY
In Order to Let Farmers
Begin Their Work

In order that the farmers of the
county might have an opportunity to
set their work for the year under way
without being interrupted by calls to
serve on juries and to answer witness
subpoenas, Judge William M. Harper,
of the city court postponed thebegin-
ming of the session of that court to
Monday January 10, instead of having
it begin last Monday, which was the
regular day for the beginning of the
session.
A departure in the method of con-
Quoting the court will be found in the
plan announced by Judge Harper for
two weeks of civil court to be follow.
ed by one week of criminal court. Or
dinarily the first week is given to civil
cases, while the second week is for
criminal cases. The two weeks Of
civil court should allow time for the
completion of the civil docket, in
stead of having it interrupted by the
criminal docket the second week, as
has been the case hitherto.
In speaking yesterday of the docket
Judge Harper said it is a heavy one,
having a good number of both civil
and criminal cases recorded. 1t will,
indeed, be a sad day for offenders when
court convenes on the thirteenth,
which has no especially pleasant as
sociations as luck day

peratures from to degrees lower

that citrus fruit losses would be ex-
tremely heavy. Estimates of damage
ran from ten to thirty million dollars.
Railroad freight losses, figured in
terms of shipment, were approximate

that the 1913 crop of oranges and
lemons would be from ten to twenty

the railroads in freight and refrigera-
tor charges.
At the beginning of the season this
years crop was valued at, estimated,
$5OOOO,OOO.
Actual losses to both growers and
railroads, however, will be dependent
to certain extent upon the attitude
Of the government toward the ship
ment of slightly damaged fruit.
The head of a big shipping concern
declared that if the government held
the same attitude as it did last year
in the northern "sweated" fruit cases
the present crop would be the small

VETERANS MAY
MARCH upon
GETTYSBURG
TO JOIN IN REUNION
With Members Of Grand
Army Of Republic

Sumters veterans may again march
upon the field of Gettysburg, as they
did in the dark days of the sixties, al
though this time the charge will not
be accompanied by the roar OF can
non or the exultant shouts of the boys
in gray. At the meeting yesterday OF
Camp Sumter, 642, U. C. ", the veter-
ans discussed the invitation extended
the United Confederate Veterans by
the Grand Army of the Republic to at
tend the annual reunion at Gettysburg
in June, when thousands who wore
the blue and others thousands who
wore the blue will be there.
Several Americus veterans IN at
tendance upon the camp meeting yes
terday, including Camp Commander
Davenport, Capt H. D. Watts and otn-
sers, had vivid recolections of Get
tysburg as they saw it in the long
ago, and would be glad to attend the
reunion, if the restrictions are not too
severe The carrying there of any
flag except the Stars and Stripes will
be prohibited, and this "rankles" the
vets here a bit, as at all the reunions
they love to march beneath the folds
of the old Southern Cross. However
this may be waived if they decide to
go to Gettysburg as guests of the
G. A. R.
The camp meeting yesterday was
well attended. In future, all monthly
meetings will be held in the room Of
the county school board, and at 1C

POPULARITY OF
TRUST COMPANIES
Their Place In Modern Life
is Important
(Copyrightl

Atlanta, Jan. THE time-honored
proverb that truth is stranger than
fiction" is perhaps nowhere illuatrat-
ed in so forcible a way as in the cold,
dry records of probate courts of this
or any other section of the country.
The Atlanta and Fulton county court
officials often comment on it, and oc-
casionally circumstances are such that
a "story" gets into the public prints,
but for the most part the pathetic and
oft-times tragic histories of the frail-
ty and uncertainty Of human life,
which these flies contain, never come
to the knowledge of the general pub
lie.
There are stories of the looting Ct
estates, Of mismanagement of es-
tates, ruinous speculation with the
belongings of widows and helpless
children. Almost invariably such re-
cords point a moral. They show that
when man dies and leaves all his
property to be managed by some trust
ed advisor, or family counsellor
without providing any other safe
agency, very frequently such conf
dence has been ill-placed and such
trusts have been betrayed.
In former days, as was interesting
ly pointed out in a recent talk by
Vice President William Hurd Hillyer,
of the Atlanta Trust Company, before
the arrival of the so-called modern
trust company" the dying man had
no other alternative but to call in
his most trusted friend to preserve his
estate on behalf of the surviving mem
bers of his family. But the modern
institution, known as the trust COM
pany has changed all this because of
the fact that as a corporation it elves
on forever; because it is the most
responsible agency; because it is es-
pecially equipped to handle the af-
fairs Of estates most economically and
wisely
There is much food for thought in
the fact that the trust companies Of
the United States now manage estates
and handle trusts for the living and
the dead, amounting in value to seven
billion, two hundred millions of dol
lars.
