Mrs. Hugh Willett

The death of Mrs. Hugh Wilet came
a sad shock to her friends and cowork-
ers throughout the state where she
was known. She had long taken mark
ed activity in state, club and civic af-
fairs and has served as an officer in
some of the leading organizations of
the state. She was past president of
the state federation of woman's clubs.
After serving in several official po-
sitions with the state federation of
Woman's Clubs, Mrs. Willett took I'D
the work of educating mountain boys
and girls of Georgia. She became iden
titled with the Tallulah Falls School
Tor Boys and Girls and was deeply in
terested in its welfare. Wherever she
became identified with organization
work, she emerged holding the love
and esteem of every woman member.
The floral pail for the casket was
sent by the executive board of the
Georgia Federation of Woman's clubs
OF which she was past president, and
the trustees of the Tallulah Falls
School.

The Goober Wizard.

The most interesting feature OF a
conference in Atlanta last week was
the address of Prof. George Carver,
fcol.) of Tuskecgee Institute. The
conference was one dealing with friend
~ race relations between coored and
white, not social equality of course but
questions Of justice and OF industrial
opportunity Many business men of
Atlanta were in attendance and listen
ed with interest to Carver who has
been dubbed the "goober wizard be-
cause OF his remarkable development
of food and mineral products from pea
nuts and also sweet potatoes. He
claims 100 uses for the peanut and
ll8 for TIE sweet potato, which he
worked out in his laboratory and
samples of which he had on exhibit
at the conference. In addition to this
display, Carver had samples Of clay
that can be a rich resource for Georgia
the fine porcelain that he asserts is a
practicable thing to do. So far Carver
has not commercialized his discover
les, but he intends to patent those pro-
ccsses of manufacturing, that will serve
the public's protection. His motive is
one of public service and to increase
the nations food supply, primarily.

that there may be no depreciation of

secretary of state for refutation of
the charges made of her supposed pro-

has decided to cancel the engagement

Contests

The most important element of any
contest is fairness, first that the con
testants are placed beyond temptation
or suspicion of being helped by the
irreproachable manner of its plan;
next that the judges be chosen in a
way and publicly named that no hint
OF injustice can be felt by the contest
ants, from the decision, and lastly that
the judges unbiased by or better still
ignorant Of the personal element, us
ing preferably the serial number plan,
should be able to use something more
than haphazard method of arriving
at the relative merits OF the work sub
mitted to them. A contest conducted
in any other manner is worse than use
less, setting a premium on deceit and
tayoritism This is where the Music
Memory contest was superlatively fair
and praiseworthy and the moral effect
OF that contest was as valuable to the
participants as were the awards. The
general sentiment is LET us have
another one, by all means, next sea-

also resulted in a walk away for the

of forty-six to seven. Riverside thus
scored two-hundred and sixty-seven

Twenty-Five cadets from different
states have been awarded varsity let

Looking Backward.

Two big Atlanta dailics have taken
up the fashion of delving into the an
mails of the past for another subject
of interest. One republishes an arti-
Gle from Harpcr's Magazine of 1879,
about early times in Atlantic. Another
goes back in Renaissance to still
earlier days when the city was called
Marthasville, which just goes to show
that even newspaper news of today
becomes history of tomorrow and
will make interesting reading to a
large number of people who do not
live for the present moment alone
This prompts the thought whether it
is not the acceptance and appreciation
of the past as heritage of untold
wealth and of enjoyment that makes
the greatest difference between the
educated and the illiterate person.
