The Rising Star of OgIethOrpe

The response of the Southwest to the appeal of oglehope
University in point of fact of the inspiring things in the
history Of Atlanta and its institutions
reads like to hear of churches far away
Fort Worth Texas nearly thousand miles from Atlanta

$4,000 to the appeal of Atlanta great coming institution Two
churches in Fort Worth gave 900 each the first appeal
by DR. Jacobs behalf of ogehope and the executive repre-
sentative of the University brings back sheaves
of his first reaping of the University harvest.
This splendid tribute to the strength Of the Pres
byteran sentiment and loyalty throughout the Southwest 1t
less tribute TO the exceptional fevor and remarkable
arguments with which Dr. Thornwe Jacobs has presented
presenting the claims of this great institution of the South
1t also tribute to the faith which all sections of the
South and of the country have Atlanta and any great
enterprise which backs soidy and literally Atlanta
has written its substantial Endorsement beneath the purposes
and the prospects of 0glethorpe University.
Farreaching among the Presbyterian faith is the
usefulness of this old historic college of the State every
day under the appeals of Dr. Jacobs the Presbyans

and promptly.
How hopefully it foreshadows the time when the richer
and larger companies of those who believe the spirit of

HILL IS JEKYL AND HYDE IN
 HIS POLITICS
So Says Donovan As He Re views the Record of His
 Opponent

Representative Donovan told a gath ering of workingmen at State and OrS gan streets this noon that he felt oblig- ed to tell the truth about his opponent MT. Hill in this campaign because some Of the statements that Hill was making in his canvass. He asserted that if MT. Hill was not a. pr. JekYI and A1r-1Hy6be in politics. and had not proven himself as such, that he would retire from the canvass that he was making.
 After being introduced by Patrick H. Brady, candidate for representa- tive in the General Assembly, MT. Donovan said in part:
 T believe that it was Artenuss Ward who sadd that it was better to know a little that is so than to know a great deal that Is not so. MT. Hill in this campaign has said much that is not sos much that has not happen ed, and much that he does not himself believe. I want to compliment him on his ability to represent everything but the truth.
 'sVhen he stated that. he did not want to bring the workingmen of this country into contact with the coolie labor of the Orient he himself does not believe that is his desire because if he had believed it, he would not have voted to admit Filipino made cigars into this county. And that is not all. He voted to return to the Fiipinos the money that was due up on the cigars as tax in this country. called attention ato this fact in tho last campaign, and he never answered it until a. few days ago at Norwafk. There he said that the reason that he voted for the bill was because the Ff1ipinos were starving.
 Now, there is a car line running down in our town where the motor men were standing out on the front platforms for two and a half hours at a time. Mr. Hill was a lstockho1der in that road. We were six years try ing to get vestibu1es on those cars and never was his voice raised in behalf of workingnen in this country who were standing in zero weather expos ed to the elements, but after a pro- longed silence he tells you that he was a humanitarian in tile matter of help ing the FiIipinos at the expense of the American cigar makers.
 Remember that Hill was the great apostle of protection in Connecticut and a free trader in Washington There were two paper mills in his dis Erict and he stood for an arrange ment whereby $6 ton had to be paid on paper going to Canada from came in free. He voted for this pro- position. That demonstrates the hy- poerisy of the gentleman.
 eff anyone has ever heard the voice of MT. Hill raised, or have read of his advocacy in the public press of a measure for the benefit of the people 1 or toil, will retire from the can yass."
 MT. Donovan concluded with calling attention to the fact that all of Hi1P s votes upon transportation measures had been cast with the companies, and calling upon his hearers to cast their vote in the next election in sup port of the president, not for. a man who would be an obstructionist to the president in all matters. and particu- lar1y so when the time came to ad- just the peace of the world by set clement of the great European war.

CORONER RESOLVES
 MATRON OF BLAME
 FOR CHILD'S DEATH


 Though Coroner PheIan has found no criminal responsibility, a thorough probe of conditions resulting in four years old George See1ey being burn ed to death yesterday at the home of Mrs. Alice Smith in Stratford. where he was being boarded out, is to be made by Superintendent $. R. Gordon and other members of the Charities department. The investi ga- ton will include inquiry as to what supervision is given the children there.
 Superintendent. Gordon yesterday afternoon, took William Verderose, Howard Deacon, William and John Gorham, the other children placed there by his department to Lakeview home temporarily. He says he does not favor placing more than three children in any one home, be1ieNin g that this procedure will result in more individual attention and a more homeHght atmosphere for the young sters
 Coroner Phelan after an investiga- ton made yesterday decided that neither Mrs. Florence Smith who was in chargel of the home, her daugh- ter, Miss Julia Smith, or Mrs Drake, the matron, were in anyway respon- sible for the death of the child. The coroner's investigation also shows the child obtained matches from the kitchen and crept away alone to the cupo1a where 1t set fire to its own clothing and started the blaze in which it perished and in which part of the house was destroyed.

BULL DING BOOM . PROMISES WORK THROUGH WIN TER
Big Structures for Cartridge Plant will Be Rushed to
 Completion

e More building operations are un- der way in this city this fall than for the past two years,' is the statement of business agents for the Briclxlayerss and Carpenters unions at labor head quarters today.
 E The bricklayers and earpenters be- longing to the local unions are likely to be employed all during the win ter, but-that employers of labor are so arranging the building that outside labor will not have to be called upon is the further statement of the labor heads who today told of the monster factory buildings, schools, etc, now in progress.
 It Twas learned that among the big buildings protected is a massive five story structure at the Remington Arms-U. M C. plant, on the site Of the old car barns on Barnum avenue excavation for which is now under way but the plans for which have not been fully completed. This in a6ldi- tdon to the long one-story safw-tooth roof building now partly up on Sea- view avenue is an extensive addition to the present cartridge factory and will undoubtedly mean the future ern-
 ployment of nearly 2,000 additional hands,
 Although the plans for the big
 building on Barnum avenue are not | completed and are in the hands of the engineering department, subject to approval by the New York offices, it | is believed that the factory will be of
 brick, five stories in height with a
 frontage Of nearly 500 feet. The other
 building on Seaview avenue is to be smaller in dimensions. It was said both by masons and builders and the factory heads that work will be rush
 ed as fast as possibl ble< for early occu-
 pancy.
 The big factory of Max Ans com pany, in the Fairfield district, is em-
 ploying many masons and builders
 and will promote work until late in
 the winter.
 Favorable comment is heard in la-
 bor circles of the excellence and scope of the buildings being erected in con
 nectio1 with St. Augustine's parish 1 The high school work, if pushed as at
 present, also will offer much employ
 ment for local labor people
 When asked today by a reporter for
 The Farmer if Bridgeport could. sup ply an adequate number of men to
 care for the work on the big factories and under partial completion, local labor leaders stated that there. would 1 be just sufficient to keep Bridgeport local artisans at work during the win ter and that any influx of outside la- bor at this time would be detrimental to home interests. For that reason no calls will be made on neighboring l cities
