HOSPITAL DAY WEDNESDAY
AT ROYAL. CAFE

The ladies of the Hospital asso-
ciaiton are spending two busy days
preparing for the benefit day Wedn-
csday at the Royal Cafe The propri-
etors have designated this one day of
the week for assisting in the very
worthy cause of helping the earnest
band of women who are making ev-
cry effort for the betterment OF the
conditions at the hospital. AS was
mentioned previously, the ladies of
the hospital board are very DESTROYS
of building an annex so that suffer
ing humanity may not have to be
turned away from relief as has been
the case in the past year, owing to
the limited capacity of the present
quarters. The proprietors of the Roy
al Cafe, seeing this notice in an arti-
Gle concerning the reports read at the
last meeting, agreed to donate Wedn-
esday's proceeds of their establish
ment to the hospital funds to be used
for this annex. The women in charge
certainly hope that the cafe will be
filled with patrons and friends of the
hospital.

terial can be used to as great ad-
vantage as in Georgia, and this fea-
ture of their entertainment will be
of unusual interest.
Secretary Perkins said this after
noon that 100 automobiles with own
er-drivers will be needed to carry the
visitors to the various farms select
ed to show them the advantages Of
this section, and he asks that all
who will participate in this feature
of the program Motif him as soon
as convenient, so that an ample sup
ply of cars will be assured.
The party, which will travel by
special train, is expected to reach
Americas during the night of August
/, and will be here for breakfast
August 2, the day of their stay in
Sumter county.
Governor Hugh NJ. Dorsev has been
invited to join the party at Ameri-
Gus, and it was said early this after
noon that he would probably accept
though he had not yet been heard
from.

MELTON.RRYANT

A wedding of sweet simplicity took
place in Americas yesterday after
noon at 3 o'clock at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. E. Mel
ton, when Miss Berta Melton became
the bride of Solomon Grady Bryant,
of Unadilla. The ceremony was per
formed by DR.. Carl w. Minor, pastor
of First Baptist church. The living
room where the ceremony took place
was prettily decorated with ferns and
shasta daisies, the ferns forming an
improvised altar before which the
young couple plighted their troth.
Daisies were used in vases and wall
pockets about the apartment. The
bride was unattended and entered
with the groom. She wore an after
noon frock of white Georgette crepe
with hat to match.
The ceremony was witnessed by
only few close friends of the fam
lily and the immediate relatives. Out
of town guests present were Mr.. and
Mrs. T. c. Peavy, Miss Kenneth Wat
son, Mr.. and Mrs. E. L. Drake, Miss
Ruby Bryant, Ossie Spradley, and
Paris Bryant, who came in automo-
biles from Unadilla. Immediately fol-
lowing the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryant left with the Unadilla party
for that place, where the parents of
the groom rendered the bridal party
reception at their home last even
ing. After a wedding journey Of two
weeks by motor, Mr.. and Mrs. Bryant
will return to Unadilla to make their
home.
The bride is daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. Melton, of Americas, and by
her charm of manner has gathered
about her a wide circle of sincere
friends.

HERE TOARRANCE
ARKANSANS' TRIP

j. N. Harper, director of the Soil
Improvement Committee of Georgia
with headquarters in Atlanta, was
here today, coming to arrange pre-
hminary details for the visi. of two
hundred Arkansas business men and
farmers, who will be here August

gram, at a conference this afternoon

In the Arkansas party, which will
be headed by Governor Brough, of
Arkansas, there will be a number of
BUSINESS men, but the majority of the
visitors will be cotton farmers, who
are coming to Georgia to learn the
methods employed here in raising the
staple, and who plan to profit by the
experience of Georgia cotton farm
ers in the use of commercial fertil-
izers, the proper preparation of the
soil, the use of farm machinery on
rolling ground, and handling the boil
weevil problem. The trip is in ne
sense a pleasure jaunt, Mr.. Harper

Reconstruction is helping the devil

be summoned his imperial staff and
offered a reward to the member who
would suggest the best way to destroy
q human soul. One said, Convince
him there is no God. Another said,
Prove there is no immortality and no

suggested, Convince him that there is
no hurry about his carrying out his

that one the prize. Bishop Talbot

GREAT WORK OF TEACHERS
Theodore RooseveIt's Tribute to They
Services to the Country Surely
Well Deserved.

Moreover, as an incident to your
teachers avowed work, you render
some well-nigh unbelievable services to
the country. For instance, you render
to, this republic the prime, the Vita
service of amaIgamating into one
homogeneous body the children OF
those who are born here and of those
who come here from so many different
lands abroad. You furnish a common
training and common ideals for the
children of all the mixed peoples who
are here being fused into one nation
ality. 1t is in no small degree due to
you and to your efforts that we. of this
great American republic, form one peo-
pie instead of a group of jarring peo-
pies. The children, wherever they
have been born wherever their parents
have been born, who are educated in
our schools side by side with one an
other, will inevitably grow up having
that sense of mutual sympathy and
mutual respect and understanding
which is absolutely Indispensable for
working out the problems that we as
citizens have before us.-Theodore
Roosevelt, in an address before the
National Educational association at
Ocean Grove, July Z, 1905.
