ENDORSED
Industrial Home for Georgia's
Helpless Children.
DR. MUMFORDS PLAN
Distinguished Men Write to Him
Urging Him to Proceed in the
Good Work
Th* 1 long needid and long loked for
vbarity of an Industrial Home for Geor
gia’s neglected and outcast children will
soon have birth.
Rev. W. E. Mumford, who has tasted in
early life the 'bi trier experience of a help
less orphan child in the hands of a cruel
tyrant, .who wanted the boy for what he
could get out of hirn and not for what 'he
could put into him, seem.i to have been
raised up to this work in Georgia. As a
Georgia 'boy the -bitter experiences of early
•life have taught him how to sympathise
with the poor and friendless. Every court
'house and public hall, as well as many of
the churches of the state will no doubt
hear the sound of his voice in the year
185*9, pleading for the neglected children of
Georgia. He proposes to see that the
minis and hearts of the people shall t-e
tfined in the direction of the mor ne.-idy
Cla*s of bumai iy. The cry of the down
m.'cL man a i ery bitter one, nut the
i.ioe pitiful 'a : l of woe heard in this
v.ttld of so to v s that which comes ‘ro.n
the downmo-t child. The poor little fel
low.-’ born tags and (poverty, • me
hands of vile and criminal paiten*ts, under
the shadow of shame and disgrace, with
only brothels for homes —these for whom
no voice pleads and no hand is reached
forth, these be the ones for whom the
Georgia preacher will plead and for whom
he hopes to devote the remainder of his
days on earth. Society m ist in the end
take charge of this work from the stand
point of humanity as well as that of self
protection. It 1b right and proper that
Mr. Mumford should met t with many en
couraging words and a.eurances of help
that have come to him since his determi
nation to enter this field that is -white unto
the harvest.
< olonel C. M. Wiley, judge of the court
of ordinary, the guardian of the county's
poor, and who has a heart to see and fe4
the need of such an institution as Mr.
Mumford proposes, writes as follows:
"The great and good movement you have
on band to establish an Industrial Home
School and Farm for indigent children, s
exactly what we need in Georgia, and I
certainly iwish you success in your under
taking."
Hon. P. Al. Hill, ordinary of Newton
county, says:
"1 am sure that I would be glad to see
tion in this slate. The field is u broad one
tion i nthis sitate. The field is a broad one
and) it will be a laudable undertaking. I
wotfld be glad to aid you in every way
possible.”
Judge M. Newman, ordinary of Wash
ington county, writes as follows:
"1 take much pleasure in endorsing
your views of the. necessity of an institu
tion as outlined iby you. For any services
in my power io render command me."
Judge J. S. ’Montgomery, ordinary of
T h obi as cou tut y, writ es:
"I most heartily endorse your scheme for
a non-sectarian home -for the helpless lit
tle ones of aur state. There is surely
abundant room in this, the great Empire
State, for a non-sectarian home for indi
gent children, and no doubt, an an institu
tion would be well supported. Please allow
me to f-a.y that I know of no one better
equipped for its organization than your
self.”
Captain W. A. Davis. Grand Master of
the Grand Lodge of Georgia, writes:
"Permit me 'to most heartily endorse
your purpose and to truly say that, no
scheme of recent date has appealed to my
heart with such force and emphasis. Every
impulse of humanity beats in sympathy
with such an enterprise and every humane
he n t will pray for its success. I sincerely
trust you will meet with that encourage
ment you so richly deist rve. which will en
able you to immediately begin the work.
If there was ever a time in the history of
Georgia when such an Institution was
needed it is now. The idle children, the
helpless orphan, the wandering waif, the
innumerable homeless and friendless little
ones all claim our protection, and God
bless, strengthen and encourage the man
who leads off in this great undertaking. It
is a noble work and will commend itself
to the people of every section of the state.
It not only has my sympathy and en
tlorsement but if started, as 1 hope it will
be, lit shall receive my earnest co-opera
tion and support.”
Hon. G. R. Glenn, state sehol commis
sioner, writes:
"I very heartily approve the plan you
have outlined for saving the children and
making them, through industrial educa
tion, not only good citizens, but producers
of wealth. The world has come to demand
mre and more of industrial education
everywhere.”
Bishop W. A. Candler, of the Methodist
Episcopal Chuch. South.. writes:
"I beg to say it appears to me to be the
conception of a much needed charity. In
the state of Georgia there is no institution
proposing to do exactly the kind of work
which you propose, although for yeans we
have had -much discussion of the necessity
for a reform school or some such enter
prise. I trust you may have abundant
success, and that the beginning whifeh
you may now make will eventuate in a
great institution which will honor and
bless our commonwealth.”
Hon. J. H. Estill, of the Savannah morn
ing News writes:
"Your project is a most laudable one. I
know of none more so.”
And so could many others be quoted of
. number of high endorsements Mr.
Mumford has received from all over the
state. The News publishes these that the
people of Macon may see what is thought
of the matter throughout the state, as in
dicative of the prospect for a complete
success in the event the home is estab
lished near this city. Mt. Mumford pro-'
poses at an early date to give ithe people
of Macon an opportunity to subscribe to
this great charity. No one need be ap
palled or weakened by the thought that it
is a stupendous undertaking. The founder
desires io begin on a small scale. He
hopes* to have enough given • y the noble
i hearted people of this city to purchase a
tract of land and build the initial house
to start the work With this endorsement
' of a rood start at home, he can then go to
the state at large and secure contributions
from a wide territory and thousands of
l good people who will be only too glad to
aid Ln the noble work of charity. Let all
J who can do so give something to the in
auguration of this much needed benevo
lence. Subscription lists have been care
fully prepared so that they can be pre
; s*rved in the archives of the institution
and future generation will rise upp and
call blessed the memory of the original
i subscribers to as great a work as has ever
been started.in Georgia. The Evening
News will take great pleasure in publish
ing the list of those who shall show a
heart for helpless humanity by putting
their money into this most laudable and
worthy undertaking. It takes a ho-peful
I man to succeed and no one is more hope
ful than the one who has entered this field
with a .determination to push the matter
to a great success.

BACK FROM MANILA.
Mascot of Pennsylvania Regiment is Sent
to His Home.
Robert McDermitt is a soldier from the
word go. He is only fourteen years old,
but 'he wears Un ole Sam’s uniform and he
i han been to the Philippines and he can
| tell all abouit the eastern situation, says
the Chicago Herald.
: Ever since he was eight years old Rob
ert has been in the service. He wanted
to be a soldier and one day hd walked over
too the armory of Comptny B, of the tenth
regiment of Pennsylvania, in Pittsburg,
■ and asked the men to take him in. The
, company needed a mascot, so Robert was
; allowed to take up arms, and in the reg
ulation army 'blue he has marched ever
since close to the company’s heels.
Robert went to the public schools of
Pittsburg and lived with his father, moth
er and four brothers, but he devoted him
self to Ithe company, and there was never
a drill night which did not find him in
' place. So when the men of Pennsylvania
’ marched out to war with a foreign foe.
, Robert marched too —nothing could keep
’ him at home —and he was no more afraid
■ of the Filipinos than he had been of the
i strikers.
But they sent him back to the states.
“’Fraid I’d ketch the fever,” he said to a
reporter as he passed through Chicago on
. his way to his father’s home.
The Baltimore and Ohio passenger
agents were his hosts and as he perched in
I the fifth story window' of the Fisher
building he told them all about it.
‘"Manila’s just like this country, ain’t
no brick buildings, just all bamboo.” The
1 mascot was admiring the fortress-like
, Monadnock across the way. "I marched
! with the rest of the follows and carried
: ammunition and took in the sights. >We
marched fifteen miles in one day. and (that
I was on ithe 13th of July, and we fought
I some on the 31st. I lugged ammunition
I and got my hat shot off."
■So Robert "did" Manila, and when he
1 was tired of the place he stepped down to
i the bay and told Admiral Dewey he would
like to see Hong Kong. Robert is a very
1 small boy who Iralks like a large man and
i the admiral no doubt thought him a first
i rate-joke. At least Robert became the
! adamiral’s guest and rode about the seas
on the Olympia and toured the Chinese
coast. He is carrying ’home a sword cane
from Nagasaki, Japan, and a stick from
Hong Kong, two sailor’s uniforms which
Admiral Dewey gave him, a Spanish gun
that he picked up off the field of battle and
a collection of knives which he made dur
ing his journey.
TO SKEPTICAL ASTHMATICS.
The trulv marvelous cures of Asthma
Jwhioh have already been effected by Dr.
Rudolph Schiffmann, certainly call for
notice. His preparation (Shi (Iman n’s
Asthma Cure) not only gives instant re
lief in the most stubborn and obstinate
cases, but positively cures, in proof of
which hear what the Town Clerk of Ca
valier, N. D. Mr. W. Sererus, says: "I was
troubled with asthma for 20 years. 'About
8 years ago I started to use your Asthma
Cure, and have not had an attack for six
years.”
Packages of Schiffmann's Asthma Cure
may be obtained of all Druggists for 50c.
