Up shaw to be contested for each year. The contest for this medal is an event of note in the school life at Mercer, and the one who wins it is justly proud, for he does so with the conviction that he has fought a stubborn fight, that is only worthy of the sons of Georgia. Whin each speaker ascended the plat form he saw before him the smiling faces of th k young ladiis of Wesleyan Female College, and he well knew that it needed ill his courage to face those smiling coun %»nanc*a. B*it none quailed before the task before Ku m, and though they had only ten minutes in which to prepare their speeuti <*s, ill of >th* in made speeches that would hove been a credit to more experienced Impromtu orators. The subject fwr discussion afforded the young patriots a wide field for discussion and speculation, it was “Will the United States <rf America Become the Gceatest Nation in the World?” The contestants were Messrs. Bryan, W. F. George, J. E. Briggs, Perry Pearson, 11. F. Lawson, J. I). Barling, .J. T. Jolly, J. R. Jester, L. Sims and T. J. Roval. Teh judges were Rev. M. A. Jenkins, Mr. L. B. Warren and Professor BonaeM. It took the judges sometime to make their decision, as alb of the young men had made such excellent efforts, but Mr. J. R. Jester was decided to have made the best speech, and the medal Was awarded to him amid much enthusiasm. Mr. George got second place. Free Fills. Send your address to H. E.

I had tried everything I could hear of and was at last told to try Chamber lain's Pain Balm, which I did, and was immediately relieved and in a short time cured. I am happy to say that it has not since returned.—Josh. Edgar, Germantown, Cal. For sale by H. J. Lamar & Sons, druggists. BLOW UP SPANISH SHIPS. Submarine Mines Being Placed in Savannah River. Satannah, Ga., March 19.—Orders have been received here directing the placing of submarine mines in the Savannah river channel near Fort Pulaski, and the tug Atlas has gone to work putting them out? (. apt. C. E. Gillette, engineer officer in charge, refuses to say anything about the matter, but there appears to be no ques tion that the tug has been engaged in that work today. Some fifty mines were received here sev eral days ago to be placed in the channel at that point, and from there connection will be made to a mining easement at Fort Pulaski, which is fourteen miles below the city. A battery of heavy artillery from Fort Monroe. Ya., arrived here tonight and proceeded at once to Tybee Island, where they will take charge, of the new fortifications, consisting of a battery of four tight-inch disappearing guns.

Party of Officers Reach Savannah on Their Way Home’ Savannah, Ga., March 19. —A party of of ficers belonging to the ill fated battleship Maine passed through the city today en route home on a leave es absence until as slgned to ether vessels. They were Lieift. Hollman, of New York; Lieut. Blanding, of Baltimore; Lieut. Blow, of Chicago; Lieut. Cattlin, of Newberg, N. Y.; Cadet Washington, of Goldsboro, N. C.; Cadet Crenshaw, of Greenville, Ala., and Boat swain Larkin, of Philadelphia. They have not yet got over the terrible ordeal through which they passed, and spoke of it almost with tears in their eyes. For military Reasons, however, they de clined to be quoted in reference to the matter. Capt. F. G. Teasdale, of the British bark Vera, which was lying but little more than 300 yard's from the Maine at the time of the explosion in Havana harbor, arrived in the city with his vessel today. Pieces of the debris fell on the deck of his ves sel, breaking parts of it, and along with the debris came bits of human flesh. Chamberlain Cough Remedy.

Convention Is Doing. Americus. March 18. —The sesions of the Young Men’s Christian association yester day have been even better in result and larger in attendance than the day before. More delegates came in on the evening j train, and the session increases in inter est. The morning was occupied firs: in re ceiving reports from the various associa tions. These brought out some very inter esting facts. One is that Macon is the only city association in Georgia that has not a biuiding of its own in which to car ry on its work, and yet. in spite of that fact, her essociation has done nauch good i work. Following these reports came the Bible study session, with addresses by Rev. Rob ert White, of Macon, on “Tae Intellectual 'Study of fne Bible;” by Rev. A. A. Mar shall, of Atlanta, on “Bible Study for Per sonal Work,” and by Rev. A. J. Smith, of Savannah, on “Bible Study for Personal Growth.” The afternoon session was devoted to a discussion of the three phases of the work of the association, the “Religious Work” being presented by Mr. D. E. Luther, ®f Atlanta; the “Educational Work” by Mr. H. P. Anderson, of Asheville, N. C., and the “Physical Work” by Mr. J. C. Blake, of Savannah. The most important feature of the day was the evening session, at which the re port of the state committee was submitted by its chairman, Mr. Frank G. Beck, of Atlanta. A few extracts from this report will prove vei»y interesting reading: “We now have twelve associations in the state, who report a membership of 2,577. Six associations own their own buildings, which are valued at $199,000, with small debts upon them amounting to about $22,000. There was spent during the year for current expenses about $21,000. Seven as sociations have libraries containing about 2,000 volumes. These also have reading rooms with a plentiful supply of clean reading matter. “The associations uniformly show an in crease in the number attending the regular meetingsc. “Twelve associations report 162 pro fessed conversions in these meetings, the greater part of whom have been induced •to unite with some evangelical church. This is tihe most encouraging feature of our work. “There are eleven Bible classes conduct ed in the several associations. “Four hundred young men are serving on committees.” This report was followed by the read ing of the report of the state treasurer, Mr. W. Woods White, of Atlanta. This session was closed by one of the most finished, scholarly and helpful ad dresses of the whole convention, by Rev. Robert R. White, of Macon, on “The Making of a Man.” Social Gayeties.' To be entertaining when one ought to be asleep. To eat sweets and salads when the stomach craves the simplest food or none 7 at all.
