Robert Lane Class
Prophet at Mercer

Last week was examination week at
Mercer, and now preparations are be-
ing completed for graduation. Among
the graduates are Robert c. Lane, of
Americus, son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. T.
Lane; julie Wimberly FELTON,, of Mon
tezuma, son of Solicitor julie FELTON,,
of the Southwestern circuit, and Noel
Harris Bragg, of Gray, nephew of
John and George Bragg, of Americus.
The following sketches of each of the
three, originating from college sources
were published in the Macon Tele-
graph Sunday, accompanying a group
portrait of the graduating class:
From Americus there came to Mer-
Ger a youngster who enrolled as Rob-
ert Crittenden Lane. He has the dis
tinction now of appending A. B. and
Ii. B. whenever he signs his name
He was made prophet of the Senior
class, judge of the Law class, was win
ner in the oratorical contest between
Freshmen and Sophomores, member of
the K. K. K, member of the Phi Delta
Literary society, assistant manager of
baseball class basketball, member
Pan Hellenic and member of the Phi
Delta Theta fraternity.
Julie Wimberly FELTON,, A. B., LII.
B., is the pride of Montezuma. He has
had an extensive educational program.
His absence from his home city has
occasioned much grief, especially on
the part of the opposite sex. He first
attended Ball-Buckle, and from there
went to Emory university and came to
Mercer in 1917. At Mercer he has
been vice president of the Law class,
first honor graduate of the law school
of 1919 and member of Phi Delta
Theta fraternity.
Noel Harris Bragg, A. B., is from
Gray. Bragg has taken prominent
part in all college activities and es-
pecially in athletics. He played foot
ball throughout his college career. He
sang first tenor on the 1919 G1ee club,
was a member of the Ciceronian So
ciety and the Classical and History
clubs He was historian for the SEN
ior class. He will return to business

HenryFord, On TheJob at Libel
Trial, Directs Great Interests
From Small Town Hotel Room

MT. CLEMENS, Mich, May 91.-The
first day Henry Ford came to town to
see his million dollar suit against the
Chicago Tribune brought to trial, he
had a headache.
He had been "fussing" as he ex-
pressed it around motor that morn
ing and the night before, and had in
hailed some of the gasoline fumes. He
stated the fact as simply as if it were
common for millionaires to put on
overalls and work around greasy ma
chinery.
But it was that headache which
made Mt. Clemens early aware of Mr..
Ford's pedestrian accomplishments.
His headache powder is a brisk walk
in the eopn air, but what he knows as
walk" most men would call hike.
He made bee-line to the town linn
its and struck out cross-country. Be
ing 1.-THE man with not an ounce of
superfluous flesh and very agile in his
movements, little impediments like
farm fences did not impede him at all.
He scaled them easily, even the barb>
ed-wire ones, one hand on top of the
fence post, and then flying leap
which allowed even the tails of his
spring overcoat to clear.
He saw everything as he went along,
noted the character of the soil, dis
cussed the advantages of draining, told
about the tiling machine he used on
his farm at home He went aside
to look at a small patch of mandrake
growing in the fence-corners..he May
apple of ordinary fame. He followed
with his eye a bird that passed with
piece of string in her mouth. noting
which tree she had selected as the
site of her nest.
Walks Off Headache.
There was no let up in his speed.
Plowed land and sandy soil retarded
him not at all. He seemed to neutral
ize the difficulties of the ground by
putting more strength into his stride.
He spoke freely of his ideas of life, of
the happiness of making things "go',
of the satisfaction of giving people a
good chance in life.
1t may have been on that walk that
his plan was born, but be that as it
may, it was not long after that Henry
Ford had decided to make the city OF
Mount Clemens the headquarters OF
all the Ford worldwide interests for
the duration of the libel suit.
He had struck into road and was
nearing the town when he saw an
elderly man hoeing in little garden
and the two held converse over the
fence. The gardener was wholly una
ware of the identity of his friendly
visitor. But very soon after that chat
Henry Ford dropped a remark
1t was remark which carried little
meaning to the person unaccustomed
to the Ford method of doing things.
"This is as good a place to work as
any; what is the mater with us stay

Coney as a Venice.

Coming up toward Sandy Hook on
a perfectly placid sea we were blessed
with just that amount of haze which
turned Coney island into Venice, Ar
thur E. Shipley writes in Scribner's
Magazine. The sea was an Adratic
lagoon; we might have left Trieste
overnight! The same merciful mist
changed the clear-cut outlines of the
skyscrapers into Turner's pictures and
the Boy and the Poet became ecstatiC
with the ecstasy of youth.
