GIVING AWAY FLAGLER'S MIL
LIONS.

The will of Mrs. Robert w. Bling
ham, of Louisville Ky, who was the
second wife of the late Henry NJ.
Flagler. thus inheritiHg the bulk of
the colossal fortune OF that great cap
tain if industry and Florida devel-
oper, has been made public and is
characterized by the most liberal BE
quests to relatives, friends, employees
and associates.
Mrs. Bingham's two sisters, her
brother and a niece are the greatest
beneiiciaries under the Will The
niece, for instance, gets 100000 Il
year until she reaches forty and then
an outright gift of $5.000,000 The
sisters and brother get the Standard
Oil stock and it is provided that, aft
er twenty-one years, they are to di-
vide all that is left of the estate, in
Guiding the East Coast railway and
hotel properties. a cousin gets $780,
000 at once.
The servants of the deceased are
literally remembered and the mana
gers of the Flaglcr hotels receive
$4,000 each; Dr. George Morgan
Ward, Mr.. Flagler's pastor, now pres
ident of Rollins college, is remember
ed with $4,000; while Hon w A
Blount, counsel for the Flagler prop
,.,,+i,. e.. J., r,,oi,.n c,O ma .. 1,,o,, O,
one OF the executors Of the estate.
The only charitable or educational
requests out of all the vast fortune
are $4,000 to the University of North
Carolina, $4,000 to the Flagler NE
mortal church at st. Augustine, and
$4,000 to the Presbyterian church
at Miami, Fla.
1t was published a few days ago
that Colonel Bingham, OF Louisville,
the surviving husband of the deceas-
ed, would inherit about $70,000,00o
from his wife: but the will makes no
mention whatever of the gentleman,
although it was reaffirmed after their
marriage and assented to by the hus-
band 1t may be that other provision
was made for the colonel
1t is interesting 10 note that the
Flagler millions are thus distributed
among relatives and friends of his
second wife, with no claim upon them
other than through this relationship
by marriage 1t is often the case that
such great fortunes go to persons TO
whom the creator of the wealth did
not give thought while lie was MAX
ing the money and, perhaps, did not
even know.

LET GEORGE DO IT."

To the Editor Of the News
In 1861 Georgia furnished more
men vino volunteered for the entire
war than any other state in the Con
federacy.
In 1893 this state gave more vol
unteers for the Spanish,American
+ war and the subsequent Philippine
instruction than any other state in
the union, and now in the face of the
gravest peril that has ever confront
ed this nation, our fighting material
seems to consist TO great extent
Of the MANNED, the halt, the blind
and those whom the communities
cannot spare. 1t certainly is far from
my intention to impugn any mans
honest motives, OF to cast any sllirs
on any mans inlirmities, God for
bid, which genuinely prevent him

ills and whose place, they think, is
impossible TO fill. The Georgia ply
sicians and surgeons who have gone
into the service have all received i'm
pOrtant assignments and they may

England, as the New York Times
points out, has discovered that there
is such a thing as the lessening OF
military efficiency abroad by undue
protection OF health at home. For all
that, the army has the first call upon
our doctors. The soldiers must have

IMPORTANT HIGHWAY PROJECTS

Georgia is now deeply concerned IN
three good roads projects of far
reaching Importance The one OF
most immediate interest is the At
lanta to Macon highway, complete
plans Tor which have been forward
ed for inspection to the United States
Office public roads at Washington
SAYS the Atlanta Journal. If the plans
are approved federal aid TO the
into effect, provided the state or the
amount OF ninety thousand dollars
viii be available for carrying them
Interested counties contribute an
equal amount. The other projects,
both of which are fast assuming def
mite proportions, are the Oconee to
Walton highwa from Monroe to Ath-
ems, and the Brooks county enterprise
contemplating a chain of excellent
roads from Quitman to NaIdoata.
Each Of these undertakings is OF
large import, not only TO the districts
directly concerned but to the entire
state, for il three highways OF this
| character and extent are pressed to
completion the effect upon road build
inc throughout Georgia VIII be incal-
| culably helpful. Heretofore our high
way improvements have been con-
fined for the most part to individual
county effort; and much creditable
work has been done Oh that basis.
/ But it is obvious that if we arc ever
to have, not merely laps and stretch
es of good roads, but united and con
tinually developing systems OF good
roads, there must be cooperative and
Wcll-oTrelated work amongst the
counties.
Hence the happy significance and
encouragement Of such enterprises as
| the Atlanta to Macon, the Monroe to
! Athens and the Quitman to Valdosta
highways, all Of them calling for the
cooperation CT divers communities
| 1t should be noted in this connection
that the AndreWs-Hcath bill now be
fore the legislature authorizes coun
ties to join in issuing bonds for road

ings 1t should be passed without

by Friends Throughout Day;
Modest Over Victory.

H. E. Reynolds, appearing a little
wan from a strenuous three weeks
spent at St. Paul in the interests of
the new Bemidji normal school, ar
rived home last evening and was
around town today receiving reg
ular ovation at the hands of his
friends.
Mr.. Reynolds was sent to St. Paul
as the official representative of the
Commercial club to work for the pas
sage of the bill and the measure now
\Only awaits the signature of the gov
ernor.
OF the $150,0OO appropriated at
this session, Mr.. Reynolds says $780,
900 will be available almost immedi-
ately and the other $4,000 will come
along next year. There is also $685.
900 appropriated for foundation
work, making a total of $175,OOO
provided by the state for Bemldjls

Mr.. Reynolds is too modest in tell
ing about the work done and the
success of getting the appropriation
through the legislature when it was
practically certain there was no hope.
He stated this morning that if it
: hadn't been for Representative Pen
dergast of Bemidji there wouldn't
have been a thing done toward the
normal. He asserted that no other
person in northern Minnesota could
have gotten the measure through and
he gives the credit for the success OF
the bill to Representative Pender-
CAST.

Mr.. Mcdonald vigorously assailed
the form of government which dom

ed attention at the number of Ger

world could live in harmony, that
Germany was the only nation on the
globe where one man was the sole
arbiter of it's destinies, and that it
was to remove this condition that
America entered the war to free the
people of Germany and not to assail
them. He called attention to the

if nothing else was accomplished in

ROOSEVELT DIVISION
IDEA PROVES MENACE
TOCONSCRIPTION PLAN
(By United Press)

Washington, April 20.-Despite
administration attempts to annihil-
ate the Roosevelt division idea, it is
proving a most formidable obstacle
to the pain of conscription. Semi
official information passed out at the
war department today stated there
will be no Roosevelt division.
1t is admitted that the president
is strongly opposed to the idea.
Friends of Colonel Roosevelt insist
that Wilson's objection is based on
political possibilities when Teddy
comes marching home" Admins
tration hackers ridicule this and as
sert that Roosevelt is doing more to
block conscription by his talk on VOL
unteer division than any other fac
tor
