GEORGIA GIVES $4,000
TO WILSON'S CAMPAIGN
Contributions Represent Tire
D less Work of Three Men
and One Woman

Twenty-one thousand dollars have
been raised in Georgia for the Wilson
campaign fund by three men and one
little woman. Before Mondays sun
light begins to fade II is believed that
another thousand dollars will be added
to the sum already raised.
Under the direction or John D. Walk
er, chairman of the Georgia committee
of the Democratic national committee,
Mrs Emma T. Martin, Ben Lee Crew
and Neyle ColQuitt have covered all
corners of the state, and contributions
have been received from the big towns
from the small but ambitious towns
and towns not yet sufficiently important
to win a position on the map.
Neyle Colquitt has led a patriotic
parade through south Georgia. Ben Lee
Crew has covered with extreme thor
oughness the northern part of the
state; Mrs. Emma T. Martin appealed to
Georgia's loyal women, and John D.
Walker watched the whole proceeding
with the eye OF a gerat general direct
ing battle Of vast significance.
EVERYBODY DONATES.
The men of the state responded: the
women answered the call with cash do
nations. People in the country were
liberal and people in the city gave all
they could afford to give.
Mr. Walker telegfaphed The Journal
Monday that efforts were being begun
to raise an additional $1,000 and the
list would be kept open until Thurs
day.
Woodrow Wilson will be elected presi-
dent of the United States at a political
mass meeting to be held at Agnes Scott
college Monday night. The young ladies
have planned to make the occasion a
memorable one, and at the meeting diff
ferent girls will assume the roles of
the Democratic speech makers, and
campaign managers, and women fund
managers and one or two will wear the
raiment of the Republican party. IT
will be strictly democratic affair,
however. and the young ladies associated
with the G. o. z. will find themselves
singularly lonely and in a state of pro-
found embarrassment. n
When the election" is ended and
the young ladies have decided that
Mr.. Wilson is the right man TO occupy
the White House for the next four
years, the ppresident will be so advised
of his election by telegraph.
