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. ——.» Bought Garage.

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. J. H. Hosch, W. A. Roper, W. J. Palmour. G. E. Pilgrim, C. A. Rudolph, M. C. Brown. W. A. Miller. C. R. Allen. B. M. Stallworth. Sam Brown. J. A. Pearce, E. E. Kimbrough. C. L. Newton. J. F. Carter, R. E. Smith. W. B. Veazey, B. S. Barker, Chas. T. Estes. C. N. Davie, G. C. Reed. O. A. McDermed. J. H. McClure, J. L, Harrison, j S. C. Dunlap. Jr. These committees are requested to j meet in the Library of the college Thursday afternoon, July 2nd, at 5.00 p. m. to organize and plan for this great enterprise.

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 friends of Rev. W. M.

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.

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. Returned from Wedding Trip.
