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. Athens Electric Street Ry.

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 FUND FOR FAIR IS BEING RAISED. One Thousand Dollars Added to the Stock Subscrip tion List of the Northeast Georgia Fair Association Yesterday—Committee Will Solicit Addi tional Stock Subscriptions Today. THE SENATE FIXED OUR APPROPRIATIONS. University and Normal School Each Get $22,- 500 for Two Years. ED MORRISON AND HIS SON IN JAIL FOR COTTON THEFT. The Benate yesterday passed the ap propriations bill giving the University $22,600 for two years in succession, and the State Normal School $22,600 also for two years.

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. 5 00 6 00 5 00 6 00 5 00 6 00 6 00 6 00 6 00 6 00 5 00 5 00 5 00 500 5 00 5 00 5 00 600 5 00 500 5 00 5 00 6 00 500 500 5 00 5 00 500 500 500 600 600 600 600 600 600 600 C O Coleman 6 00 | A L Brooks Klein & Martin G W McDorman H E Choate W O Orr M C Johnson J A Pitner H S West C A Ryder D H McNeill W J Garrebold D L Peacock Jesse M Smith H A Lowrance H M Fullilove. ....

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 Poatum Ck>., Battle Greek, Mioh,
