WOmans Missionary Society
Adjourned Last Night

After holding their fourth an
nual institute in a three day ses-
sion, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, the Woman's Bap-
fist Missionary Union adjourned
last night. Forty or more dele
gates from the different associa-
tons attended these meetings.
and were delighted over the hos
pitality accorded them by the
Fitzgerald ladies'.
The day sessions were taken
up in discussing missionary pro-
blems, and many prominent
speakers addressed the society.
Among them were Mrs. J. c..
Singleton, Statesboro, Mrs. T.W.
Galloway, Dublin, and Miss Eris
Stevens of Bessie Tiff College,
who DISGUST Missionary Study as
vital factors. Other visitors who
spoke were Mrs. Alex Bealer, of
Eastman, DR.. V. l. Masters, of
Atlanta, lecturing on Homeless
Churches, Rev. A. L. Dunston,
Missionary to Brazil.
The professionals given by the
Local Sunbeam band under the
leadership of Miss nellie Frazer,
and Y. W. A. lead by Mrs.
Richie added sunshine to the oc-
casion. Each day luncheon was
served by the local Missionary
Society of the Baptist Church.

GOV. SLATON TO
OPPOSE HOKE SMITH
Fielder to Oppose Rardwick
and West
A HOT TIME EXPECTED.

Macon, Ga, Feb. Within
the next twenty-four hours the
Official announcement of Thomas
5. Fielder, attorney general of
Georgia, for the office of United
States senator, to fill out the un-
expired term of the late Senator
Bacon, will be published in the
official organs of the Smith faction
in Georgia.
Mr.. Fielder is in Washington,
but wired friends here to day that
they could GO ahead and make the
announcement at once. 1t is un-
derstood that he will start his cam.
paign right away.
10 the politically wise ones here
it looks like one of two things,
either Fielder or Congressman
Hardwick, who has semi-officially
announced for the office have
broken with Senator Hoke Smith,
chief of the Smith faction; or SEN
ator Smith has pulled out entirely
and told his camp followers to ego
to it'' and grab the office if they
can, he taking no part in the race
one way or the other.
Witt Mr.. Fielder in the race
Macon has two candidates for the
Office, John Il. Cooper having an
nOunced several days ago.
Governor Slaton is expected by
his friends to run against Hoke
Smith in the August Primary,
when Senator West will probably
be candidate to succeed himself.
Speculation is at fever heat and
Georgia is assured a warm time
politically this summer.

HON. W. S, WEST
APPOINTED SENATOR

Atlanta, February 26. Hon.
W. S. West, of Valdosta, whom
Govern2r Slaton has appointed
United States Senator to succeed
the late Senator A. o. Bacon, has
for many years been che of the
most prominent figures in the
legislative history of the state as
we'll as an active factor in the
politics of the democratic party.
He began his career as a legis-
lator in the house Of representa-
tives from Lowndes county
and served several years. He
later became state senator from
the sixth district, and was one of
the ablest presiding officers the
senate ever had. He is by pro-
fession lawyer, and in additions
is a business man of wide successE
and experience.
It is understood that Colonel
West will not offer to succeed
himself at the primary election
this year, but his friends are al
ready talking of the possibility
of his running for governor. 1t
is expected that Governor ,Slaton
will resign from the governorship
about April and will offer for the
United States Senate, presum-
ably to succeed Senator Bacon,
though he has never expressed
himself on that score.
Among the gubernatorial pos
sibilities already talked of here
in the event that things shape
themselves as indicated above,
are J. Sandolph Anderson of
Chatham, and Col. Thomas S.
Fielder, the present attorney
general.

Woman's Club Notes
Clean-U Day, March 10th.

"Clean up" is now the slogan
of all the Woman's Clubs of the
South, March 10th, has been set
apart by the General Federation
to be annually observed in the
Southern States. The results of
observing "clean up day has
been widely and appreciatively
felt. All people love cleanliness
and order, once they have been
made to experience the comfort
such conditions produce. Clean
premises, beautiful flower beds,
green kitchen gardens in a neigh
bors yard, on another street in
another town inspire others to 20
do likewise" Let each club
meet the need of her town and
community. Have arrangements
perfected, so that if whether
conditions are suitable all un-
slightly, uncleanly, unsanitary
spots may be inspected by COM
mittees appointed for the pur-
pose, and made ready for the
most scrupulous health officers
eyes to fall upon. Perfect clean
illness will breed perfect beauty.
Let us join hands with our
federation worker, Mrs. Logan
Pitts, in being true to her trust
and our obligations"

stantinople. especially, has Jared well.
Only recently street car, telephone and
electric light systems have been installed

paved with asphalt and are being cleaned
with automobile sprinklers and sweepers.
Mr.. Davis praised the Turkish govern
ment for its behavior during the recent
troubles. He said that as far as possible
the foreigners were protected by the gov
eminent soldiers, and every precaution was
taken for their welfare. He lauded Ann
bassador Morgenthau, stating that he
has personally investigated and helped
American institutions throughout Turkey.
Mr.. Kavendall, the American consul
general at Constantinople. is another
man deserving great credit, says Mr..

ties being represented. Mr.. Davis ex-
