OF GEORGIA MAKE
LIBERAL DONATIONS

Atlanta-@ Ga, November That
the people are ready to open their
pockets and give to the soldiers has
just been strikingly demonstrated in
Atlanta in the successful campaign to
raise $4,000 for the Atlanta Com
zsEiss;on on Training Camp Activities.
y This commission is a branch of the
jationai commission, and its func-
ton is to provide the soldiers in
training with wholesome entertain
ment and recreation within and with
out the camp. The amount appro-
priated to the Atlanta commission is
$l3S,000. The national commission
will provide $4,000 and $4,000 has
been raised in Atlanta.
Raising the fund was turned over
to the Atlanta Rotary Club, in pur-
suance of the adoption of resolu-
ton by the International Association
of Rotary Clubs at their last annual
convention, pledging the Rotary to
assume this, among other tasks in
connection with the war.
Although it was freely predicted
that the fund would be exceedingly
hard to raise, owing to the fact that
Atlanta has been campaigned so much
in recent months, the Rotarans got
the money in a few days canvass.
Meanwhile, other southern cities
are raising the funds allotted to them
by the national commission. Contri-
buttons are payable in monthly i'll
stalmcnts for year. One dollar pro-
vides recreation for soldier for a
year. Many people feel that they
can afford to give a dallor month.
when a cash contribution of the total
. amount would seem too large.

from his pocket letter which he
had received from Mr.. Burwell in
April Of this year, in which Mr. Bur

real sensation of the day.

London, Jan. 1S.-TrSvelling in Eng

Consequently all fares have been

Of luggage. 1t is no use thinking that
by paying excess rates moro luggage

HOUSES TANlS PAT ON
FOUR MILLION DOLLARS.
Perfect Georgia Cyclone" on the
Floor During Debate on Funds For
States Common institutions.

Atlanta, Aug 10.-That the House
is going to force an extra session of
the legislature seems tonight to be
almost acertainty. Unwilling to go on
printed record in the Journal by name,
the faction which steam-roled thru
the four million dollar appropriation
for common schools showed them
selves firmly entrenched in their
position. They were warned by
Wright of Floyd to look for tricks the
last three days and to beware of loss
i'll the senate; to stand pat and they
did. They whipped the dozen or more
men who followed the lead of Burwell
and Swift in the effort to adhere to the
custom Of the past twenty odd years
and make the hill applicable for two
years, instead OF the new procedure Of
one year which Messrs. Han and
Wright originated.
Mr.. Wright however. told the house
he is willing to recede from that po--
sition and make the bill two years
after they have held it over the senate
long enough to big stick the $4,000
600 appropriation through.
SO heated did the situation become
that Arnold of Clay moved that the
committee of the whole report to the
house the bill do not pass" but he
was ruled cut of order for the Neil
motion to report that ii "do pass" and
i'll the house proper the 100000 see
tion was voted in. 100 to %, after the
house had refused to put itself on
record by name voting 100 to 20
against the record until call.

sions since this Legislature convened,
but the one this afternoon was Il per
