ANNER.
ESTABLISHED 1832.
« ATHENS, GA., THURSDAY MOI
JECEMBER 11, 1902.
$5.00 A YEAR.
CITY EDUCATORS
MET LAST NIGHT.
The Athens Summer School Was Discussed and Pre
liminary Steps Taken to Make it Effective if the
Necessary Three Thousand Dollars is Sub
scribed by the People of This City.
Tin Athens Sommer School fond took
another jump yesterday, and within the
next few days The Banner belieyes it
will be able to annonnee the completion
of the fond.
Eighty-six dollars represented the sub
scriptions receiv'd yesterday, whioh
brought the total som thus far sob-
scribed op to $3,623.60.
There is now needed the som of
$376 60 to complete the fond so that the
otter of $3,000 from the General Ednca
tlon Board may be available.
The Banner does not believe that the
people of Athens will let this magnificent
plan for a summer school fall through
for lack of that small amount. The
school will be a certainty if this amount
is subscribed; it will not be held if it is
not tubscribed. It is up to the people of
Athens to say what is to be done.
In anticipation of the completion of
the fund and proceeding solely upon the
presumption that the $3,000 will be sub
scribed by the people of Athens, several
members of the different educational
institutions of the city met last night at
the Athenaeum and decided upon an or
ganization that Is to be effective should
the school be started.
Chancellor Hill was named as presi
dent, President Branson as secretary.
Prof. Harper as treasurer and a board
of directors appointed consisting of Prof.
E, O. Barrow, Miss M. Rutherford
Prof F. 11. Harper, Supt. G. G. Bond,
I and Mr. B F. Holder, Jr.
, This organisation will attend to a
nuinter of important matters In con-
nection with the proposed summer
sohool and if it should not be a go, then
they will have lost only a little time
and effort, but if it should be organized,
then much valuable time will have been
saved.
During the meeting last night a reso
lution was passed unanimously thank
ing The Banner and Prof, Harper for
their untiring efforts to secure perma
nency to the movement which looks to
the establishment of the summer school
in Athens.
The Banner presents the full list of
subscript ions to date and hopes that the
necessary $376 50 will be forthcoming
before this week is ended.

The far t of an * Sclent dramatization coonl
of Nathan Hale’s romantic tragic life is
solliclent to interest everyone having a
spark of American patriotism ; and that
sneb a dramatization is to be seen upon
the Athens stage, appeals to all who
have the welfure of the theatre in this
city at heart. Every American school
boy has had his heart warmed and
heated in tnrns by reading of the in
trepid yonng school master’s sacrifice
of his love, aspirations and life in be
half of his country. It is a tragic page
taken from the darkest history of the
Revolution.
“Nathan Hale,” the drama, is an in
spiration that serves to re awaken in
every American Revolntion. Mr. Fitoh
the author of this piece of excellent
< ramatic composition has succeeded in
ennobling and dignifying beyond that
of history the man whom, clothed and
despised as an alienated spy gave the
greatest gift in his possession, that his
F>- Dye. The ways and
bly told in the
lale" in which How-
red such a reputation,
lerfolly reeemble Hale
» is all that oonld bo
aooessfnl has he been with
tthls is his third season
Dmitry with it. Several of
players have remained
including Florence Smyth
Webber, Stephen Hoyt and
Among the others of
Mrs. Nell Warner, Jose
r, S. W. Brammwell, Her-
i and some dozen others. The
I production of soenery and ap
pointmoata as nsed daring the Knicker
boker Theatre ran in New York, make
up the ensemble.
This company presented ‘ Nathan
Hale”'in Athens last season to a large
audienoeand it was pronounced easily
one of the best plays ever seen here.
WALLACE MILLER ELECTED
MANACER OF THE FOOTBALL TEAM.
At a meeting of the elective council,
composed of the outgoing captain and
manager, coach, physical director and
two members of the faoulty, Mr. Wal
lace Miller was yesterday elected man
ager of the Georgia football team for
the season of 1602-03. Mr. Miller was
elected for the place from four students
recon: mended to the council. The other
gentlemen who were honored with a
nomination being Messrs. Fort Soott,
Max Michael and Jos. Hull.
Mr. Miller, the manager-elect is from
Macon. He is a member of the jonihr
olase and is one of the most popular
men in oollege. No more- worthy seleo-
tion could have been made by the conn
oil, and the business interests of the
1903 team will be ably discharged by
Mr. Miller.
The outgoing’ manager, Mr. G. O.
Heyward, has made one of the best
wbioh any ’varsity eleven has ever had
having managed the business end of the
team .with great ability. Nothing bnt
words of praise are due him for the ex
cellent manner in wbioh he has steered
the team through the season. The Ban
ner heartily compliments Mr. Heyward
on the record he has made as manager
of ,tb*-Georgia eleven of 1902, and ex-
~ stoMr.MMor, the

AlUALlEETiSr
OF TOE MASONS,
It Will be Largely Atten
ded by Local Members.
Stook subscriptions amonnting to one
thousand dollars were added to the list
of the Northeast Georgia Fair Associa
tion yesterday, and the subscription
committee composed of O. H. Phinizy,
O. N. Hodgson and B. F. Holder, Jr.,
will make another canvass today, when
it is expected that other subscriptions
will be added.
Stook of the fair association to the
amount of four thousand dollars has
been taken by reliable parties in amounts
of $600 eaoh and the proposed capital
stock of $10,000 will probably be in hand
within the next week or ten days.
The Banner has all along impressed
the importance of taking this important
matter np at onoe if the people of Ath
ens would accomplish anything with an
agricultural fair next year, and it is to
be hoped t-hat the public-spirited people
of the city will not allow longer delay in
the matter. The location of the fair
grounds should be determined on at
once. Those grounds should be ln-
olosod and a first olass race track bnilt
at once. These are matters that take
time and the sooner we get at it the bet
ter position we will be In to give a great
agricultural fair next year.
If the people of Athens would do
away with the carnival and street fairs
and take up a olass of entertainment
that would be pleasing and wholesome
to visitors and profitable to themselves,
now is the time.
The remaining $6,000 of the capital
■took of the fair association should be
taken at onoe and the directors of the
enterprise lie enabled to get down to
work Immediately. As soon os the fnU
amount is subscribed there will be a
meeting of the stock holders at whioh
officers and directors will be elected and
then the actual work will begin.
Edmond Morrison and his 15-year old
sou are in jail cbaiged with stealing cot
ton from the Clarke Oonnty Ginnery
The evidence points to their gniit, and,
in fact, the boy has made a complete
confession.
Edmond Morrison has been at work at
the ginnery. Tuesday night he stole 200
pounds of cotton before he left work
and sent it hack to Captain Rncker,
president of the ginnery company, ves
terday morning and sold it to the right
ful owner. Captain Rncker snspicioned
that something was wrong and when he
pinned the boy down he made a confes
sion of the theft of his father and his
father’s scheme to sell the cotton back
to the same ginnery from which it was
stolen.
Both of the negroes were arrested and
are now in the city prison. Warrants
have been issued for them and they will
be given a hearing today.

OLD FOGY KNEW.
Experience Teaches People.
“My parents considered coffee simply
a harmless beverage for old and young,
so when a mere baby I commenced to
drink it, and when I reoohed woman
hood, found myself troubled with ner
vousness, headache and an irritable
temper and to obtain relief, I drank
more and more ooffee, thus adding fnel
to the fi-e.
I grew wore until life was one black
night of pain. My nerves were shat
tered, body wrecked with suffering, my
stomach gave oat and utterly refused to
digest the most simple foodB, and finally
1 lay for week9 starving and longing for
food, but nnable to eat more than just
enongh to keep me alive.
“While In this state, my next door
neighbor brought in a fragrant cup that
1 supposed was some new grade of cof
fee, and although I had suffered so ter
ribly from its effeots, the temptation was
too strong to resist, and I drank It with
relish. 1 noticed it had a rioh agreeable
taste and I drank it without distress.
She repeated the kindness two or three
mornings.
“I began to congratulate myself that
it was not coffee that hurt me after all.
I was assuring my friend of this one day
when she astonished me by saying that
I was not drinking coffee, but a pare
food drink called Poet am Food Ooffee,
made from nourishing gram for building
up the system and nerves instead of
tearing them down.
"I then began to drink Postum regu
larly, and to get well slowly bnt surely.
Today I am a strong, hearty woman ;
my nervous system is entirely rebuilt
and with a reserve foroe of strength In
time ol need; I sleep well and awake
refreshed and feel bright for each day’s
task, with no indigestion or stomaoh
trouble, and a good strong aotive brain
ready for any mental strain or toll.
There is no doubt on earth that coffee
nearly killed me.
"A friend of mine was obliged to re
sign her position as sohool teacher, be
cause of extreme nervousness caused by
coffee drinking. I induced her to use
Postum In place of coffee, and at the end
of four months she began teaching
again, her nervousness gone and feeling
and looking ten yean younger; her sal
low complexion having beoome a beau
tiful, healthy bloom.” Name given by
