American women should be al

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The an

Knoxville Will be prepared for the
coming of the Atlanta boosters, and
the officials Of the exposition are plan
ming to make Atlanta Day" the gala

written to Colonel Robert J. Lowry,
chairman of the Chamber of Com
merce Atlanta Day" committee, T.
a. Wright, president of the exposition,
declared that the management of the
fair win make every effort to give
Atlantans who attend the celebration
the time of their lives. The town
and the exposition grounds will be

being arranged for their entertain

The Atlanta delegation will be head
ed by Colonel Lowry. and E. Walter
Trip. chairman of the committee ap-
pointed by the Eagles to arouse en-
thusiasm and aid in getting the crowd,
will be in charge Of the drum corps.
The latter organization is expected to
attract a great deal of attention. No
drum corps in the South presents a
more attractive appearance than do
the Eagles, and in their resplendent
uniforms they expect to march at the
mead of the Atlantans and show
the KnoXvillians how things are
done in the New York of the South" !"
The drum corps is planning some
things that they are confident will
make the Tennesseeans open their
eyes. A parade viii be held from the
railroad station to the heart of the
city as soon as the delegation arrives
IN Knoxville, and during the day
other parades will be held in various

Great Chance to Boost.
1T will be grand opportunity to
boost Atlanta and show the world in
general, and Tennessee in particular,
what great city we have" Colonel
Lowry said. Every man who can
possibly do so should arrange to make
the trip. Even if there We're to be no
chances to boost Atlanta, the trip
would be distinctly worth while, for
the fair this year is better and bigger
than ever before. The marvellous re-
sources of the Appalachian region and
the necessity for conserving them are
presented in a magnificent manner. l
have just returned from a visit to the
fair, and was very much impressed
with its magnitude and possibilities.
The officials of the rair associa-
tion are very friendly to Atlanta, and
are going TO do their best to enter

less than 300 boosting Atlantans in
Knoxville next Tuesday, and have
high hopes that the crowd will num-
Der 500. The presence of the Eagle
Drum Corps is going to aid us a lot
in making Knoxville sit up and take
notice, and the fact that they are
going will increase so per cent our
chances Of making the big day sue

After Big Crowd.
Colonel Lowry stated Saturday that
the amount necessary to take the
drum corps to Knoxville-S150-ha
been raised, and nothing remains to
make the day a success but the pres
ence of large crowd of enthusiastic
Atlantans.
Most Of the funds to enable the
drum corps 10 make the trip were
raised by Walter Tripp. chairman of
the drum corps committee, who has
been one of the most sincere boost
ers for Atlanta Day" the movement
has had. Both Colonel Lowry and
Mr.. Trip and the members of their
committees expect to spend Monday
urging their friends and fellow mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce
and Eagle fraternity to make the trip
to Knoxville and aid in the good work

A controversy has arisen between
Police Commissioner Egerer and City
Recorder Mayfield. and the former mas
asked for Mr.. sIayfeld's resignation.
As Mr.. Egerer is a member Of the
board that has the appointing power
over the recorder and the other trus-
tess are inclined to refer all matters
of police regulation to the polio COM
missioner, there seems to be a dispo-
sition for the other members of the

Mr.. Mayfield is also justice OF the

not be affected. but the indication is
that he will be forced to relinquisf

This matter will probably come to !

CAMP CLERK DIES
Or. Wells of Erie, After 80
Years Membership, Had Paid
Less Than Face of Policy.

DR.. H X Wells, who claimed the
honor of being the oldest local camp
clerk in the Modern Woodmen of
America. is dead at his home in Erie,
Ill. Notice has been received at the
head office. He is a member of camp
No. II at Erie and had been connect
ed with that camp for within two
months of 80 years. He was a charter
member and the first clerk of the
camp, serving till last fall. His age
at the time of death was sc years of
age, he having joined the society
when SO years old.
Notwithstanding the advanced age
at which DR.. Wells joined the society
and the fact that he was member for
nearly 80 years, he paid into the bene-
fit fund but $1,20390, while the
amount of his benefit certificate is
$4,000 Payment of the claim on his
death will leave a deficiency in the
benefit fund of $796.10, which must
be paid by surviving members of the
society This case, therefore, fur
nishes a striking bit of proof of the
fact that this great fraternal organi-
zation cannot long continue on its
present rates.
