A Card From DR.. Hartman.

| wish to express to the. people Of
Georgia my high appreciation Of the
splendid support which was given
me in my race for Governor, in the
primary Of August 10Th.
tits a genuine pleasure to recall
the hearty ovation which the people
gave me all over the state during
my campaign Not in q single in
stance, did one thing occur to mar
the pleasure Of the race.
It will be one Of my cherished
memories to contemplate the hea. ty
approval which the people Of Geor-
gia gage the high ideals Of canlpaig-
ming and righteous principles go
vernment for the uplift OF the mass
es Of citizens.
It occurs to me today, as it did
before entered the campaign for
Governor, that there is an oppor-
tunity for Georgia to set the pace
for other states in high ideals Of law
enforcement and iii providing more
ample legislation for the protection
and restraint in the waste Of human
life. A noble movement this would
be and | hope for this through our
governmental authorities.
/ desire to congratulate Judge
Nat e, Harris and Hon. Randolph
Anderson for their magnificent race
as we'll for their kind and gentle
manly treatment Of their OPP opent:
and ! want TO extend to them my
profound sympathy in the bereav-
.ment whiell came to them during
the progress Of the campaign i
wish for each Of them most happy
and prosperous future.
Yours very truly,
L. G.. HARDMAN.

Tie statistics Of enrolment indi-
cate that the number of students
who have registered for the fall term
is the largest ever known here. It
excee Is the initial enrolment last

wise the same as last term, Mr.. w.
H. Beckham is the new principal,
and Miss Perry, Of Camilla, is the

ing viewpoint it seems certain that
Lee county will have a fair this fall
in spite Of the warscare that has
played such havoc with the price Of

A number Of those who have
shown interest in the fair when ask
ed as to whether it would be wiser
to try to have a fir this fall or to
wait until next fall, in view Of the
war scare, have replied that Lee
county should have fair, regard
less of other circumstances. They
favor, making beginning in the
work this fall without fail. Conse-
quently Farm Demonstration Agent
Kent, when he comes back OH the
Job very soon after his Through, will
get busy and corral all the exhibits
in Lee county that can be secured.
He has promised to take charge OF
Il il part Of tile work himself, aud it
is big job, There is other work to
be done in the way Of soliciting
subscriptions for the expenses Incl
dent upon holding the fair.
It is planned to make a beginning
this fall by holding the best fair
possible at the least expense. With
this end in view the aid Of every
citizen Of Lee county is asked in the
work. Give all you can in money
and boosting and in every way pos
sible to make the fair a success.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence or The star.
LONDON, May S.-Dr. Jacques Fait-
lovitch, the well known Abyssinian
traveller. who recently has returned from
his third mission to the Falashas
(Abyssinian Jews). described his expert
ences at meeting recently. under the
auspices Of the English pro-Falasha
committee. The chief rabbi. who pre-
sided, said that the first authentic news
Of the existence of a Jewish tribe in
that distant country of Abyssinia reach
ed Europe some sixty or seventy years
ago. The Jewish leaders recognized in
those Falashas their brothers. distant
and forgotten, but yet brothers. An in
ternationaI committee now has been
formed for promoting their welfare.
DR.. Faitlovitch said that the number
of the Falashas might be estimated at
1000 souls. From the religious stand
point they were Jews and belonged to
Judaism. The children had great
respect for their parents: they lived with
them and supported them In their old
age. Their young people married at the
age Of eighteen to twenty years. and the
his wife. The breaking of the marriage
tie was q thing unheard of. The women
were frequently seen In the assemblies
of the men and took part In all public
matters. The movement they were en-
gagged in on behalf Of their Abyssinian
fruit, but the F'alashas were going
through a critical time. and their exist
ence as Jews was precartous. They de-
sired to defend themselves and not allow
the honored name Of Israel in Abyssinia
to perish.
