ATHENS, GA., FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 8, 1003. >.00 A YEAR HILL SPOKE CRACKERS TO FARMERS Chancellor Hill Discussed Subject of Agricultu ral Education. THE FARM COURSES Should be of the Very Highest Order in All the Georgia Insti tutions as They are Being Made at the University. The sesion of the Sugar Cane Grow ers Association in Macon yesterday waB one of great interest. At the morning session Senator A. S. Clay made a neat address, introducing U. S secretary of Agrionltnre James Wilson, who spoke on the subject of "Agricultural Educa tion.” "Soils and fertilizers in oonneotion with cane growing” was the sobjeot of a most interesting talk by Dr. H. W Wiley, chief of bnrean of chemistry. U. S Department of Agricaltnre. Prof. H. E Stockbrid-je, of Lake City. Fla , spoke of the cultivation of oassaTa. The afterucou session was well at tended and the addresses were by Prof. F. L. Stewart, of Mnrraysvllle, Pa., wno spoke of ‘ Sugar produced from Maize, commercially considered," and Hon. A. A. Denton, of Medicine Lodge, Kan., who spoke of "Cane and Syrnp ” The greatest address of the day was that which was delivered at the session tonight by Chancellor Walter B. Hill, of the University of Georgia, who spoke of "Agricoltnral Education in Georgia.” Obanoellor Hill's address was complete in every respect and em ^necessity for the vary beat BAPTISTS University Boys Will Meet the Mercer Team Today and Tomorrow. TWO CLOSE GAMES Will Probably be Played by These Two Teams Which Have Made Good Records During the Present Season. The Georgia ba.«f*b ill team w ill h ave Athena for the Sfcoml and probably the last time this season, for the purpose ot going dawn to Macon and p’a; ing the Mercer boys there. All indications point to two close and interesting games, with a fair field and no favor?. There is no game that the G orgia boys play during the y *ar that they would ra f her win tlitu th-*se two con ests. Last year Mrreer had it ia for Georgia ir revenge for a defeat ii.fl cted several years ago when Georgia was weakest, and by a home run in the ninth inning Mercer won the game, score o to 1. Thia was acknowledged by every one to be one of the greatest games ever THE MASONS AREAGTIVE \ Regular Convention to be Held Annually, Proposed by Local Lodges. WOULD HELP ATHENS The Proposition Will be Freely Discussed at the Meeting of Mt. Vernon Lodge on Tues day Night Next Week. The question of holding in Athene every year a big Masonio convemiou is uow being agitated among the Masons ia this city. It will be takvu up at the regular mouthly meeting of Mt. Vernon Lodge next Thursday night and as the senti ment of the members is highly favora ble to the plan there is very l.ttie doubt of its not being adopted. Thera are ful ly thirty lodges in this immediate ter ritory and it is believed that there would be an annual attendance of at lea?t three or four hundred Masons. If it is decided to hold this convention in Athens this year it will probably be held about the first of August.

Y'esterdiy afternoon at the session of the mayor and council ou motion of Al derman Hacker the chief of police was iustrncted to swear ont warrants against all keepers of such houses in Athens daily until they broke them up. The vote on the passage of the resolu tion was nuanimens and the test is to be made fairly and squarely as to whether the law is to prevail or whet her it is to to openly violated. There will doubtless be some decided scurrying around in certain quarters within the neat twenty-four hours.

The city council took action yester day afternoon in regard to the Southern Express Company in refusing to deliver packages to people living on the eastern side of the Oconee river, although they deliver them outside of the city limits, even on this side of the river. Alderman Foster introduced a resolu tion settion forth the manifest in justice in such a position and calling up on the Express Company to rescind the rule. The resolution was opposed by some the aldermen on the ground that the oonncil had no right to dictate to any company how it should manage Us busi ness. To this the reply was made that the Express Company is a common car rier and that it is amendable to the rules the Railroad Commission and that the mere Expression of the mayor and coun cil of Athens ou the subject could have no binding effect, it being merely the Bentiment of the body as to a practice which was manifestly unjust The resolution passed by a decided ma jority and a copy will be forwarded to Superintendent Hnlburf, of the South ern Express Company. It is believed that the express officials will right this tion by the conncil officials. VANDERBILT THE_VICTOR In a Peculiar Game the Georgia Boys Were De feated Yesterday. THE HEAVY HITTING Of Both Teams Was Wonderful and Runs and Errors Were Alike Plentiful—Official Score of the Game. MAY PARTY TO BE6IVEN An Unique Entertainment Arranged for This Eve- ning at 8 O’clock. THE LITTLE FOLKS TO MAKE CHANGE A Resolution Touching Stove Flues Was Introduced Yesterday. LAY CORNERSTONE ABOUT JUNE 1ST While the exact date of the corner stone exercises has not yet been fixed, it is thought that the work on the new city hail building will have prtgreBsed sufficiently by June 111 for that event. The ex»ct date ot the exercises will be announced later. The improper selection of foed drives many a healthy person into the depths of despairing illness. Indeed most sick ness comes from the wrong food and just so sorely as that is the right food will make the snn shine once more. An old veteran of Newburyport, Mass, says: ‘In Ootober, 1900,1 was taken sick and went to bed, losing 47 pounds in about 60 days I had doctor after doctor but all food hurt me so I had to almost live on magnesia and soda. All solid food distressed me so water would ran cut of my month in little streams. ••I had terrible night sweats and my doctor finally said I had consumption and mast die My good wife gave np all hope. We were at Old Orchard, Me., at that time and my wife saw some Grape-Nuts in a grocery there. She bought some and dnrsnaded me to try it. I had no faith in it bat took it to pleas9 her. To my surprise it did not distress me as all other food had done and before I had taken the fifth paok age I was well on the mend. "The pains left my bead ; my mind became clearer; I gained weight rapidly. I went back to my work again and now after six weeks me of the food I am better and stronger than ever before in my life. Grape Nats surely saved my life and made me a strong hearty man, 15 ponnds heavier than before I was taken sick. "Both my good wife and I are willing to make affidavit to the truth of this.’ Name given by Postom Oo., Battle Greek, Mich. Alderman Lipscomb introduced a re solution in conncil yesterday that has a f.rreaching effect, and before it is put ou its passage will cause a great deal of die- enssion. There is already a resolution requiring the construction of all stove flues ac cording to certain specifications. The resolution introduced yesterday requires all owners of honses ia Athens to con form their stove flues to the require ments of the first resolution within thirty days. A motion to suspend the rules and pass the ordinance at the meeting yes terday was defeated and it goes over until the next regular meeting of the council. It was pointed ont that the resolution would affect almost every house in Athens. Alderman Lipscomb said that It had been found out that nearly all of the fires in this city origi nated from defective stove floes and that it is to remedy this trouble that hiB resolution was introduced. In a game by all odds the most ex citing of the season the Georgians went down in defeat after a glorious straggle before Vanderbilt. The contest has never been equalled on Herty field and thrilled with interest from start to finish. The commodores and crackers walked hand and hand with defeat and victory, and until the winning run was made in the last half of the nihth with two men ont, the result wae in doubt. The decided feature of the game was the terrific hitting of both sides in which Georgia won ont by one single. Harmon led the batting with three hits ont of six times at the bat. Other fea tures were the three base hit of Ander son, the swat of Erown that netted four boys, aud the sensational stop of a grounder that looked like a hit by Fleischman. Georgia had the game won at two or three timeB, but opportune hitting by the orange aud blacks pulled them out of the hole. Vanderbilt played a won- derfnl uphill game. Coach Reynolds was greatly pleased with the way his boys played the game, and says that only Georgia’s hard luok The official score : GEORGIA.

She says: "Our three children took whooping cough last sammer, our baby being only three months oid, and owing to our giving them Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, they lost none of their plump ness and came ont in much better health than other children whose parents did not nse this remedy.
