July at Buford, and will address the

they will hear the favorite states

From that date Col. Charters will
push his campaign on the stump
with great vigor so as to cover the
district in the limited time allowed.
But he will get over the ground all
right, and he will have an ovation
wherever he goes.
Kight now is an awkward time for
the Present Incumbrance to return

time to not return. For Congress is
calling loudly for its Whup.

BERRIEN BROWN SPEAKS
OUT FOR HARDMAN AND
WILLIAM CHARTERS.
He Thinks it is Time for Us to Look for Our
Ablest and Best Men —Issues Card
to Forsyth County Voters.
To the Voters of Forsyth County:
As our candidates are to be selected
to till the offices in the coming pri
mary, I wish to urge, especially,
the claims of two who have an
nounced for nomination.
The Hon. L. G. Hardman of Com
merce, whom I know personally to
: be a Christian gentleman, able phy
sician, well versed in legislation,
and if elected will fill the Executive
chair with honor to himself, and
for the best interests of all profes
sions and industries, especially the
farmers, as he has been successful in
agriculture.
We have only two candidates
for « representative in the lower
branch of the next congress: W. A.
, Charters and Thomas M. Bell, both
j citizens of Gainesville and my per
sonal friends, but in point of quali
fications for statesmanship Mr.
Charters far exceeds Mr. Bell.
At this crisis of our once glorious
; and blood-bought government let us
j send men who can measure arms
; with any. and make a record that
j the old Ninth will be proud of. As
I wiote my friend Bell, that I
thought that the time had come
when he had best come down and
out. ami let us have a change.
Hoping that my choice may meet
j the wishes of a large majority of the
‘ voters of the good old county of
i Forsyth. I am most respectfully,
Your fellow citizen,
B. H. BROWN.

GAINESVILLE. GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1914.
MEMORIAL TO MRS. T. J. SIM
MONS—Y. W. C. A. BUILDING.
i
Money to be Raised by Subscription in State
wide Movement—a Most Laudable
Enterprise.
One of the most important move
ments of recent years will be the
erection of a splendid building
which shall be a memorial to Mrs.
T. J. Simmons and a home for the
Young Women’s Christian t Asso
ciation.
It will also have a line museum
in which will be a large collection
of objects from missionary fields,
many of which were brought by
Mrs. Simmons from her travels in
the far East.
The friends and admirers of Mrs.
Simmons, far and near, are inter
ested in the erection of such a build
ing as a permanent memorial to her.
A building to cost $25,000 or more
is contemplated.
A local memorial association will
be formed, to be composed of the
leading people of Gainesville.
The Board of Trustees of Brenau
have held an enthusiastic meeting
and appointed as a committee on
subscriptions the following mem
bers: Messrs. Hayne Palmour, J.
H. Hosch. M. C. Brown,/ J. B.
George and E. E Kimbrough.
We trust the people of Gainesville
will respond with a spirit of true
enterprise and bring this splendid*
movement to a successful culmina
tion, for what is for the upbuilding
of Brenau is for the good of every
man, woman and child in Gaines
ville.
Brenau has called upon the citi
zens of Gainesville in twenty years
only twice. For the Auditorium a
subscription of approximately eight
thousand dollars was realized; and
twelve years ago about four thous
and was subscribed to the library
building.
During this period of twenty years
Brenau has paid city taxes aggre
gating several thousand dollars, and
is the only college of the same grade
and standing in the world that is
required to pay such taxes.
Moreover Brenau brings new
money into the city of Gainesville
each year approximately $300,000.
If our business men are alive they i
should realize in profits from this (
amount in one year more than the ,
sum required to be subscribed.
The additional students the col
lege hope to secure would pay in
profits to the merchants of Gaines- :
ville as much as the cost of the
building within a period of five
years.
The increase of property values,
while less tangible and impossible
to estimate, will doubtless far ex
ceed the actual revenue derived.
Ten committees have been ap
pointed from the Board of Trus- ;
tees and the Chamber of Commerce i
to wage a campaign in the interest 1
of the new proposed memorial
building, as follows:
H. M. Newman. H. H. Estes.
Hayne Palmour.
Joe Webb, R. I). Mitchell,
U. R. Waterman.
J. B. George, J. B. Rudolph,
E. R. Barrett.

this great enterprise.

CANTRELL BOYS TO BE EX-
ECUTED TOGETHER JULY 2A
Governor Slaton Grants Fifth Reprieve that
Convicted Men May Hang Together.
‘‘lf they hang us, we have no ill
feelings toward anyone; our friends
have done all they could for us,”
said Jim Cantrell to a newpaper
man Sunday afternoon in the con
dors of the Hall county jail, where
the jailor was letting him and Bart
take exercise.
The Governor last Thursday signed
an order for the execution of Jim
Cantrell to take place on Friday,
July 24th, at the request of Judge
Jones and many Hall county citi
zens who are interested in the boys.
Judge Jones wrote the governor a
letter in which he stated that he
would have Bartow Cantrell re
sentenced to hang on July 24th, and
asked that Jim’s execution be set
for that date.
A newspaper man called on the
Cantrell boys Sunday afternoon and
they seemed in the highest spirits.
They were laughing and joking with
other prisoners as though they cared
but little either way. They have
been less concerned in their fate
than any of their friends.
The boys have many letters from
friends expressing hope that the
Governor may see his way clear to
grant a commutation.
Jim Cantrell has a Bible that a
good old mother in Israel presented
him after his incarceration, and he
spends the greater part of his time
in reading, when his eyes are in such
condition as to permit it.
it is understood that friends of the
boys will call on the Prison com
mission and Governoi Slaton again
in their behalf. It is also said that
some or the jurors on the cases have
signed a petition asking executive
clemency.
Rev. Benson Improving.
It will be gratifying to the many

MORE ABOUT THE CITY PARK
AND CLEAN-UP DAY, JULY 4
Large Petition Circulated and Many Sign to
Meet Chamber of Commerce and all
who Are Interested in Civic
I • Growth of City.
i Did you put your name on the
petition to help work at the City
Park on July 4th?
If you didn’t, it's all right. You
won't be barred from work—for you
will be allowed tc work just the
I same. Doesn't make any difference
about signing. They will expect
I you just the same.
Now, of course, if you were com
pelled to do this work, it would sor
• ter go against the grain, but as you
) do not have to, it will be a pleasure.
Therefore on next Saturday morn-
■ ing. bright and early, shoulder your
hoe. rake or spade and light a shuck
tor the public square, where you
I will be met by other progressive
I citizens. If any of your friends
I laugh at you for looking like you in
: tend to work, don't turn up your
nose at them, but persuade them to
come with you.
Strolling through the park a few
I days ago, the writer observed that
I this could be made one of the pret
! tiest places in the State by just a
' little work and improvement.
A cool stream runs clear through
it, and there is the prettiest place
for walks by this branch, absolutely
shaded.
Os course it will take some work
I and money to do the thing right, but
I think of the good that can be de
; rived from it. We have slept over
I our rights, and don't you forget to
i remember that. And don’t youfor
! get to remember that we are not go-
■ ing to do it any longer. We are
going to start on July 4th. and we
are not going to quit till the park is
finished.
Now. let us remind you again,
gentle reader, that the merchants
are going to close their doors Satur
day, and that you will be compelled
to do your shopping for Saturday
and Sunday cn Friday, this next
Friday. Don't forget it. Friday
July 3rd. is the time to doyourshop
ping for Saturday and Sunday, July
4th and sth.
Bur the merchants will stay open
until a late hour Friday night—that
is, as late as they usually stay
open on Saturday nights. They do
that so you may do your shopping
on Friday night as you would on
Saturday night.
So remember the announcement
and heed it. Then come out to the
park and help us. If you can't help
us, then come out and watch us.
Have a little linger in the pie.
We are a-lookin’ fer ye.

Parsonage lot, build a new parson
age, ami put in a pipe organ, has
reached the sum of $13,000. The
call has been more unanimously
responded to than any appeal
brought before the congregation.
The interest excited by the urgent
need is back of this remarkable
campaign, conducted so quietly and
successfully. It is hoped that by
the Quarterly Conference next
Wednesday evening, that the con
gregation can sing the doxology of
praise to God. for the entire amount
subscribed.
