THE WOMAN'S CLUB.

The Dawson Woman's club held
their November meeting on Wednes-
day at the Log Cabin. A very enjoy
able feature of the opening program
was a violin solo by Mrs. HUE. Led
by Mrs. r. R. Jones the club mem
bers united in singing America the
Beautiful" and the old favorite, San
ia Lucia" Various matters Of new
and unfinished business were brought
tip for discussion or disposal. Atten-
ton of the club women was called to
the celebration of Armistice day to
be observed Sunday night at the
Methodist church. Mrs. Chappell re-
minded the club of the yearly Red
Cross Roll Call and urged the women
to join this organization and so help
to support and extend its wonderful
work. The program for the afternoon
was in charge of Mrs. T. B. Raines
and her committee on American Citi-
zenship. The subject for the afternoon
was very wisely chosen, as most wo-
men know very little about taxes, a
vital theme which, as citizens, they
surely need to understand. Mrs. R. f.
Bell discussed State Taxes" in place
Of Mrs. McLendon, who could not
be present. Mrs. Rauch read a paper
on County Taxes" Mrs. McCollum
presented the subject OF City Tax
es." Mrs. Walter Davidson concluded
the discussion with a paper on Fed

WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN
DROPS DEAD IN ROOM
Mr.. JAMES E. M'REE PASSES
AWAY JUST AFTER ARISING
AT AN EARLY HOUR.

Mr.. James E. McRee, well-known
farmer and highly esteemed citizen,
died suddenly at 5 O'Clock Monday
morning at his home one mile west OF
Dawson on the Shellman road. Mr..
McRee had just gotten out OF bed,
and the end came before he dressed.
He was Is years Of age, and had been
in declining health several months.
Mr.. McRee came to Terrell from
Stewart county in 1895 and engaged
in farming, and by industry and atten-
ton to his affairs met with success.
He was known for his integrity, and
had the confidence of all who knew
him.
Besides his wife the deceased is
survived by four children-Willard
E. McRee of Terrell county, Grover
McRee Of Macon, Mrs. Walter Ste
VEINS of Dawson and Theddeus Nc
Rec; a daughter-in-law, Mrs Addie
Mckee and her three children, who
resided at his home; two brothers, w.
T. MCRce Of Terrell county, and one
sister Mrs Kee, of Alabama.
The interment occurred in Cedar
Hill cemetery this morning at eleven
o'clock, the funeral service being con-
Quoted by Rev. T. NJ. Christian, pas
tor of the Dawson Methodist church,
of which denomination Mr.. Mckee
had been a consistent member many
years.

large part in filling the car for the
orphans.
1t should be remembered that any
thing which can be used in a home,
and which will not perish in transit,
can be sent in the car. A lot of hay has
been made in Terrell this year and
not so much of some other kinds OF
produce. The Baptist home has large
number OF cows which various indi-
viduals have donated, and these cows
can eat lot of hay, and the church
can send in some OF this IN ADDITION
to their regular donations of other
things. In Terrell county there are
number of men who can give ton
of hay-others can give. half toll
still others can give few bales to
this great cause and thus several tons
in this county can go for this worthy
object.

HARVARD AND THE NEGRO
AGAIN

Harvard is justly accused of Great
ing or at least stimulating race preju-
dice by its attitude toward prospective
students. Without reference to Negro
papers which would be expected to re-
sent the attitude of the Harvard Off
Gals, the white newspapers come out
plainly and distinctly in criticism OF
the president. The New York Globe
for instance accuses the president OF
Harvard University of having done
"As much as any man to stimulate
race prejudice during the last few
months. First his anti Jewish policy
and now his anti-Negro decision aid
neither the university nor the coun-
try"
The presidents explanation of the
reason why Jews were excluded was
the increase of Jewish immigration but
the New York Call reminds us, "The
immigrant issue is not raised in the
case of Harvard barring Negroes. II
cannot be. 1t is a pure instance oil
race prejudice"
The New York Post makes a very
significant statement to the effect that
the objection to the Negro does not
come particularly from the southern
students. "Only Is Of the 1888 fresh
men of last year were from the South
Southern students 60 to Harvard
knowing the traditional New England
feeling toward the Negro. If they
continue to 60, it is because, temporar-
lily at least, they are willing to accept
the principle of federation. The OBJ
lection that weighs with the Harvard
authorities is the objection that comes
from narrow-minded Northerners."
The New York World goes still
further and says, what there has
been at Harvard is change of soul at
the top"
The New York Call agrees and con-
tinues, Despite the austerity OF
Charles w. Eliot, he of the 'hve-foot
shelf Of classics and the Unborn New
England aristocracy that was his, Har-
ward never had race issue during his
presidency. The thought comes to my
mind that if Col. Theodore Roosevelt
were alive Harvard would not be bar
ring Negroes and Jews from the class
rooms. T. R. would bang himself on
the front pages of every newspaper in
the land with broadsides attacking his
alma mater in way that would dis
solve race and color lines at Harvard
and reduce President Lowell to the
attitude Of an educated jackass."

AT the Benjamin Franklin Memorial
Celebration, held recently at Park

great pleasure in doing honor to the
memory of Benjamin Franklin, who,
in addition to being a great American
patriot, philosopher, inventor and
diplomat, was also the president of the
first society formed in America for
the abolition Of Slavery. His words
to the United States Congress-'Lib-
erty ought to be administered without
distinction Of color to all descriptions
Of people, and Congress should pro-
mote mercy and justice towards this
distressed race'-might well be re-
called as a saIutary message to Amer
