So conspicuous a wedding as that of
Miss Edith Thompson and DR.. Galway
rarely occurs during Lent which is a pc
riod of quietude in every sort of social
affair. But as the Joseph o. Thompson
family is one of the most deyout in the
local Baptist denomination, and as DIR.
Callaway is also Baptist, it was not
surprising that the date of the wedding
was announced to occur during the period
devoted by many of their friends to re-
nunoiation and prayer. II was a Grave
announcement for a little bride TO make
when she is fond of gayeties incident to
such an event for Lent. usually places a
quietus ON prs-nuptial entertainments.
but there can have been no place for
other festivities in the daily calendar of
the bride-elect, since the 10 days pre-
ceding the marriage have been filled with
q pleasantly varied series of hospitaities.
Airs. Galloway is the eldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph o. Thompson. She
has lived in this city for number of
years. her earlier life having been passed
III Tuskegee, where the family now has
many prominent connections She was a
dehutante last year and In appearance
is even less than a debutante now. for
she is just wisp of pretty blue eyed
girl, with all the enthusiasm and vivacity
tha. belongs to a debutante, and yet with
a fascinating dignity.
Dr. Eugene Galloway is one of the most
successful and popular young specialists
in the state. lie is practicng his pro-
fession in Selma, where in both business
and society he has an enviabe position.
Al the conclusion of a delightful wedding

The Church
The Southside Baptist church with its
marble entrance and the great colonial
columns through which one enters to the
interior of the sacred edince is an impress
siNe place for so dignified celebration as
ths nuptial ceremony. Last night under
tie reflection of the arc lights ii shone
resrlendent against a dusky background
ami was a noble edifice indeed for dis
tirguished gathering. Masses of palms
and smilax were banked high in the chan
eel the lights from the baptistry glow
ing through the leaves, making a brilliant
effect. This was the background for the
wedding party, the bridesmaids in their
pink gowns furnishing the first note of
cclor against the green. The pews in
which sat the members of the family and
the reception guests were indicated with
clusters Of bridesmaid roses, whose pink
petals again gave hint of the bridal
color scheme.

SENATOR BACON
Will RECEIVE
APPOINTMENT
AS SENATOR IN INTERIM
From March 4th., Until Leg
iSldtuFe Meets

Atlanta, Jan. Ex-senator A. 0. Ba-
cons term as a member of the United
States senate will expire on March 4
next, and although he has been nomi-
mated at the polls to succeed himself
he cannot be formally elected until
the legislature meets in June. In the
meantime there will be a special se5-
sion of congress called by President
Woodrow Wilson and even if there
were not, Senator Bacon could not
draw the salary for tie period from
March 4 to July /, unless he held a
commission from the state.
He will, therefore, have to be ap-
pointed by Gov. Brown for the in
terim, and there is little question that
Gov. Brown will give him the appoint
ment This, in fact, is the usual Gus
tom.
This is one of the matters in which
Georgia bungled when the meeting
time of the legislature was changed
from October to the following June
For this period there is no possibility
of having a senator except by execu-
tive appointment.
Attention has been called to the fact
that should Senator Hoke Smith be
renominated in 1914 to succeed him
self he will be in similar predica-
ment on March 4, 1915. In other words
he will have to have executive appoint
ment if he serves in the interim from
March 4, 1915 to July when the legis-
lature meets. This being the case, hil
appointment and commission will have
to come from Gov. John NJ Slaton.
When Gov. Smith went out of office
by resignation to go to the United
States senate, he issued his own com.
mission; it was generally stated he did
not want to go under a commission
from President of the Senate Slaton
who was governor ad interim. The
question naturally arises, will he ac-
cept Slaton commission in 1915
Likewise, since he declined it once
will Gov. Slaton commission him fol
the interim period?
Whether there is any possibility Il
it or not, the subject has become on,
of interesting speculation and gossip

upon by the Americus Clearing House
association, so far as the closing of
the banks in observance of the holiday
is concerned. Lee day is legal holi-

The anniversary this year falls up
on Sunday, January 10Th, and will be
observed on the day following, as are

There will be, no doubt, appropriate
exercises in the schools, while the

RECORD OF
DIR. JAMESON
A COMMITTED APPOINTED
MeFCGF'S President to be
GFiIIGd

Macon, Ga, Jan, 13.-Rumors of an
investigation of the administration OF
Rev. S. Y. jameson as president of
Mercer University by a committee from
the board of directors, was confirmed
today by the announcement that this
committee, with Judge T. A. Parker,
of Waycross, as chairman, will start
to work Wednesday.
Just what there is for the commit
tee to investigate no one knows-not
even DR.. Jameson. When asked for a
statement, he said: why, there is
nothing for me to say. l haven't seen
a copy of the complaint or charges,
and only know that a committee will
assist the committee in any way
be here Wednesday l will be glad to
possible"
Friends of President Jameson ara
confident that the fullest investigation
will not harm him.
1t is believed that alleged lack of
harmony in the faculty and reports
of friction between Dr. Jameson and
leading Macon Baptists prompted the
trustees to appoint a committee. 1t is
very generally understood that DR.
Jameson's attitude on the Mercer re-
moval proposition led to differences
of feeling between him and local
members of the church and support,
ers of the university.

WAITING FOR BETTER
PRICES FOR COTTON
Holders Do Not Like Present
Conditions

Farmers here who are holding any
large amount of cotton do not regard
cheerfully the situation at present,
particularly during the past week
when the market has been gradually
declining. From 12 ga cents the top
level price of week ago, values have
dropped to about II IA cents, or loss
of $3.50 per bale within few days.
To render the situation less encour-
aging to holders of cotton, the demand
locally, is not as great as heretofore.
There are several thousand bales
probably 5000 to 5000 held collective
ly in Americus and the smaller towns
nearby, and a great portion of this
would go upon the boards if prices
were bit better.
This large amount of cotton unsold
ties up a considerable amount of mon
ey which otherwise would be in cir
culation here, or used in the payment
of accounts. Any marked improve
ment in market values would bring a
smile to many now anxious faces here

PECAN EXCHANGE
Will PROMOTE
THIS INDUSTRY
fine EXHIBITS ARE MADE
Exchange Just Opened In
South Georgia

Americus pecan growers, among
whom are some of the most success
ful in South Georgia, will devote more
than usual attention this year to this
great and rapidly growing industry.
The success attending the growing Of
pecans last season. has proven a great
incentive to the planting of other or
chards, not only in the Americus ter
ritory, but throughout South Georgia,
the. acknowledged centre of the pecan
industry
The several pecan companies in the
Albany territory have established IN
that city pecan exchange, which IS
attracting very general attention
showing as it does the many fine va
rieties, and many ways in which the
nut can be utilized.
One of the most interesting displays
of the exposition is a cross section Of
soil, arranged in glass cases, showing
the undisturbed soil to a distance of 80
feet All the various uses of pecans in
confectionery cake-making, pecan but
ter, salted pecans, etc, are shown
One individual exhibit shows a tree
over Z feet tall. This tree is one year
old, having been grated in January,
1911, and dug in December, 1912.
The general exhibit carries displays
of the following varieties: Alley, Cur
tis, Delmas, Frotscher, Mobile, Nelson,
Pabst, Russell, Stuart, Schley, Tesche,
Van Deman, Success, Senator, Twelve,
Atlanta, Capital, Centennial, Clarke,
Georgia Giant, Japanese Walnut, Mon
arch, Mixed, Oklahoma Seeding, Rome,
Robson, Stevens and seedlings. Indi-
vidual displays are made of each va
riety and in addition comparisons are
made in separate displays that prove
interesting.
The alpha and Omega" of the pc
can is shown in the shape of very
small seeding and a Nelson nut that
measures over two inches.
Two of the larger nuts are cracked
and the meat shown in another dis
play. A box of cracked pecans makes
an interesting display. A large Nelson
nut is shown by the side of a rule
and the nut measures over two inches
in length. A display is shown of the
Nelson and Mobile nuts, the largest
nuts grown in this section. This dis
play shows cross section of the nuts
to illustrate how they fill Two dis
plays are shown of scenes on the
farms in the Albany district
A display is shown of the grating
process complete. The stock prepar-
ed for the grating is shown and ex-
planned. Then follows the scion pre-
pared for the stock. Following that
is shown the stock and the scion
wrapped Then as the last illustration
is shown the completed union between
the stock and scion. The budding
process is shown in the same wag,
both the dormant bud and the matur-
d being shown and explained
The evolution of the pecan is shown.
The comparison is interesting, as one
display shows the pecan so small that
three hundred are required to weigh
a pound and the largest nuts shown
only require 25 to weigh pound.
