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 a 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. II. Ashford.
Upon the opposite corner of the
road and boulevard will be located
the university chapel, upon tract
also given from the Silver Lake prop
erty.
The consensus Of opinion Is that
no finer or better site for Oglethorpe
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 1t, 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 a 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
Guiries about Silver Lake Estates
since our announcement just one week
ago" Mr. Bottenfield said, land 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 most pop

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

DAYTON, OHIO, Nov. 15.-No
longer need the preacher feel offended
If 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. "Slecpiness 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
soporific.
'If worshiper shuts his eyes
against it he can keep awake, but If
he keeps his eyes fixed upon 1t he
will go to sleep"

While we will always be true
and faithful to the past and to its
glories and gloom, we may well
say that the benediction of peace

great Republic, and these immort-
al words are conscious to-day:
."One country, one constitution,
one flag, and one destiny"
MY comrades of the great armies
that were marshaled under the
stars ard bars, it is said that only
one-tenth remain. Only about
sixty thousand survivors are left
of the great armies that fought
with imperishable renown around
Richmond, Virginia, and around
Chattanooga, Tennessee, and at
the battles of Petersburg, Spott-
sylvania, The Wilderness, Gettsy-
burg, Murfreesboro, Shiloh, Chic
kamauga, and at hundreds of other
battles.
A few more passing years and
we will all cross the river which
separates time from eternity. A
few more feeting years and our
hearts will no longer throb with
pride and our eyes sparkle with
Joy because we are at a Confeder-
ate Veterans Reunion. When
that time shall arrive, may God be
with us all
"And heavenly blessings without number
Gently fall on our devoted heads"

Cause for which we fought, or re-

The scenes and incidents. tolls
and trial of the Civil War are now
ia the past, but there remains not
only the memory of valor and vic
tories, of sacrifices and successes,
of brave men and splendid women.
but. also the consolation that Con-
federates have submitted, in good
faith. to the results of the Civil
War, have helped to change DESC
late places into happy homes, have
aided in substituting peace and
prosperity for wreck and ruin,
and have done their duty in max

ure, manufactures. educational fa-
cilities and in industrial achieve

admiration of the civilized world.
Time has assuaged the hostili-
ties and smoothed the asperities OF
war; and now those who wore the
Blue and those who wore the
Gray sit side by side in Congress
ional Halls and in the highest ju-
dicial courts, and are often part
ners in business.
An ex-Confederate soldier, Hon,

Justice of the Supreme Court OF

whose courage and achievements

People may ask us why we have
Reunion of Confederate Veter-
ans forty-eight years after the
Confederate flag was furled for
everl A few of our reasons are:
We love each other.
We love the Cause for which
we fought.
We love the glory and gallantry
of Confederate soldiers.
They have left record to man
kind, of courage, endurance and
patriotism, WHICH time can never
obliterate. Our love of our coun.
try does not dim or diminish our
love for our Cenfederacy or our
comrades.
The Confederate States of Amer
lea live only in history, but they
will live forever in the dignity of
honest purposes and high princi-
Piles, and in the grandeur of he
roic sacrifices. They are resplend-
ent with the virtues of the people
that supported them, and they
were made immortal bv the brave
deeds done for them.
The United Confederate Voter
ans Association, socially, frater-
nally and patrioticallv, las no
equal in the world. 1t is the most
faithful, unselfsh. powerful and
patriotic organization of its kind
on earth; and when the last of the
heroes and veterans shall answer
the final bugle call from above,
sons and daughters of veterans
will preserve their memories, look
after the monuments erected to
honor them, and scatter flowers
over their graves.
AS / look upon this vast assem-
blage, l cannot help recalling 9TH
er meetings of the United Confed-
crate Veterans Association. We
all remember with pleasure the
magnificent galaxy of generals and
heroes who have acted as Comman-
ders in Chief of the United Con-
federate Veterans.
We had the great statesman, the
peerless leader. the loved citizen,
General John B. Gordon; the
brave, accomplished, heroic Gen
eral Stephen d. Lee; the faithful,
unexcelled, courageous champion
of the Southern Cause, General
Clement Evans; the gallant and
gifted, tried and true General
George Gordon, and we have now
the splendid, faithful, able and
eloquent General Bennett H..
Young. All of these loved heroes
but one have gone to that other
world of which religion teaches,
but their memory will be treasur-
ed by the people of the Southern
States forever.
There are no more patriotic peo-
pie than Confederate veterans liv-
ing under the flag they opposed,
they are today as patriotic and
loyal as the men who carried the
stars and stripes, yet they have in
their hearts fidelity to the memory
and achievements of their COM
rades.
Reconciliation and patriotism
were both shown when the tocsin
of war was sounded a few years
ago, at the beginning of the Span.

WHEN A MAN FACES HIS PAST.
The International Sunday School Les
son for April 20, is, Jacobs Meet
ina With Esau." Gen. 32:3-33:17. Il
(By William T. E1lis.)

There comes time in nearly every
mans life when he is brought up
suddenly face to face with his own
past. That is decisive hour, q tire,
mendous experience for veal or woe
A recent magazine poem recited
how a young man, who had "soWn
| his wild oats,'' underwent this ex,
perience when his first child was
born, and he was punished not only
in his own soul but in the lives of
his wife and baby for his past.
There are other pictures, fairer to
look upon, of men who in this hour
of crisis find themselves free and
happy, because of the integrity OF
their past living has summoned up
it's armies for reinforcement. Some
time or other, everybody will be sus-
tanned or smitten by the life he has
lived.
The most eventful hour in the life
|of the patriarch Jacob was when his
once victorious cunning confronted
him and he saw that it had become
his enemy. All his guile was then
futile to save him from the vengeance
he deserved. The brother whom he
had foully wronged was able to strike
him a blow that neither wealth nor
subtlety could avert. In this ex-
tremity only God could help him.
The night of wrestling that followed
saw the end of the old Jacob. He
won a new character and a new
name at Jabbok. The story is like
one of the testimonies heard In a
rescue mission, of man made over
by meeting with God. 1t is a study
in human nature, as we'll as in d.
vine providence.
