The Thomasville Guards’ actors and
thqif friends who accompanied them to *
White Springs are nearly all back and
are telling- the stay-at-homes of a most
pleasant trip. ^
The company showed at the Casino in
White Springs on Monday and Tuesday
nights. They had good houses at each ■
performance, and every member of (jhe
company covered himself with applause j
and glory. The work of the two young
ladies, Misses Coyle and Beholder, was
especially good. ]
On Tuesday afternoon the White
Spring’s baseball team and a team from
the Guards played an interesting game 1
of baseball. The home,hoys were handi
capped by lack of team Vrork. but made 1
a game fight. They were defeated by a
soare of 7 to 3.
After the performance on ^uosday
night a dance was given at the Hamil
ton House at which the ^homaaville
people were the • guests of honor. The -
crowd left the Springs Wednesday
morning. Most of the on-lookers and
rooters came home on the 8:20 p. m.
train. ’
The Thespians did not arrive until the
1 o’clock night train. They stopped in i
ValdostaWednesday afternoon and wit
nessed the Valdosta-Quitman baseball
game. In the evening they showed at 1
the park in Valdosta. There as else
where they were greeted by a large and
enthusiastic audience, yhe trip was a
Stories come from White Springs,
Fla., of a sensational episode in which
two Thomasville people were the chief
acton. Miss Grace Jenkins, one of
this city’s most charming young ladies,
is sperding the summer at the popular
Florida resort. .While in bathing,on
Tuesday she ventured out of the pool
and into the Suwanee river.
She was accompanied by a gentleman
Who is stopping at the Springs and who
had offered to teach her howto swim.
She got beyond her depth and sank
twice. The man with her lost his head,
and began to swim about and. cry for
help but made no effort to save Miss
Jenkins.
Young Lewis Houston, a fourteen
year old boy who is well known
here in Thomasville where he lives,
heard the cry and responded at once.'
Miss Jenkins had sunk, for the third
time. When her frightened escort
pointed oat the-place where she had dis
appeared, Lewis dived to the bottom of
the river. She was lying inert and
helpless but the boy succeeded in get
ting her to the surface. His older
brother, Harry Houston, helped him to
the shore and she is now none the worup
from her frightful experience. A gen
tleman who witnessed the affair said:
“That boy deserves a medal. It was
one of the bravest deeds I ever saw."

Prof. J. S. Stewart, state agent of the
University of Georgia,' was in the city
Tuesday in the interest of that institu
tion. Mr. Stuart is a genial and cultur
ed gentleman and he received a cordial
welcome from the Alumni in this city.
Mr. Stewart is thoroughly imbued
with University spirit and speaks in
glowing terms of the present conditions
and bright future of the University. In
the course of a conversation Mr. Stew
art stated that “the, University under
the management of Chancellor' Hill is
enjoying the confidence of the people
and greater success than ever before. Its
professors are men of high scholarship
and deep piety, and active in their res
pective churches. A college makes and
keeps itself religious by the life of the
men in it. Under such men in the fac
ulty and with such able pasters as Dr.
L S. Hopkins, once president of Emory,
Dr. Walden, Dr. Beatty, and others;
and the weekly Y. M. O. A. meetings,
the moral atmosphere could scarcely be
excelled. It is a privilege for a boy
to be under Dr. Hill To these excellent
conditions must be added the value that
comes from four years spent in such a
cultured and literary center as Athens.
So the environment fosters intelligent,
cultured young men of pure faith.

and will bring so rich a return ip after
years. I have never seen a man with
out higher training who did not feel that
lie could liavp done more with better
preparation. The college man doing
his best will do a better best than the
other man without that knowledge and
.culture. The college-bred man, while
he will have to start at the bottom, will
go.furthest, rise highest and be the
leader in commercial, industrial and ad
ministrative affairs. The classical, sci
entific and agricultural courses, and the
schools of law and pharmacy are unex
celled in 41ie South Atlantic States.
.This is also true of the engineering
courses offered at the Tech. -*
The University is an hundred years
old. Over 5;000 men have gonf out
from its halls into positions of honor
Mid trust. It is an inspiration and a
source of constant help to a boy to be
graduated from such a well equipped in
stitutlon and to be numbered among its
graduates.
