New England. conducted a remarkable
campaign in Syracuse not long ago.
DR.. Day was called upon to give his
estimate Of Mr.. Sunday and said in
part:
II am glad to bear witness to the
fact that Billy Sunday was with us
at Syracuse--both the city and the
university-and we were sorry we
could not keep him with us.always.
ITO be sure, he did some very
strange things there. He closed up
some rum shops. The most aristocratic
saloon in the city complained it was
losing 5000 day while he was there
and they did not know what they
would do if he remained any longer.
HE did us all good. l was fairly on
the way to be redeemed myself when
he left. The greatest thing about the
whole matter was this: When he went
away he continued to stay.
Organizations have been formed
since his departure, and they have
brought over 10000 people to acknowl-
edge the Savior and to start on their
way to the Kingdom.

pioneers Of Augusta. when the settle-
ment was called '"rhe Fort" and Halo
we'll was called THE Hook" He was
Lieutenant Samuel Howard. and at one
time owned the hill which was named
after his daughter. and at least one Of
Augustus most prominent families are
direct descendants Of this Howard fami-
~, who at that time. back in 100, were
among the leading families at the set
tiement. Lieutenant Howard died in
1884. Later tho hill received the name
Of ''Nigger Hill" from tho fact that at
one time. during the stirring days Of the
Civil War. a negro colony. part Of the
vast system Of tho Underground Rail
way. was located On the hill. So the
big park which IL being improved at the
