There will be a mass meeting of the democrats of Athens and Clarke county today. The time Is one o’clock, promptly. The place Is the council room at the city halL The purpose of the mass meeting is the election of a new executive committee of the democratic party in this county. A chairman of the executive com mittee will also be chosen at the same time and place. It is important for every democrat who possibly can do so to be on hand. It is a privilege and a duty which the adherents to the party organization have of taking part in the very ini tial work of the organization. Go to the mass meeting; take a part in the proceedings; and abide, as good democrats, by the action of the party in mass meeting assembled. The Official Call. The following is the official call for the meeting as sent out by the present chairman of the democratic execu tive committee of Clarke county, Hon. John B. Gamble: To whom it may concern: By virtue of the authority vested in me as chairman of the Democratic .Executive Committee of Clarke coun ty, I hereby request the democratic voters of Clarke county to assemble at the city hall at 1 o’clock, Saturday, October 26, for the purpose of elect ing the democratic executive commit, tee for the ensuing two years. I desire*to call your attention to the necessity of having a full attend ance, as there are matters of import ance to be acted upon. This October 25, 1912. JOHN B. GAMBLE, Chairman Clarke County Democratic Executive Committee. TheRiversideMilitary Academy to Tackie Athens High Today. The “Army” hoys, otherwise the fellows from the R. M.

Moire Students Registered^ at the Univer sity of Georgia Now Than the Total Registration Last .Year. Last Stu dent from the Philippines. L MOSS, SR., The funeral services for Mr. R. L. Moss, Sr., will occur tomorrow morn ing at 11 o’clock, to be conducted from the First Methodist church of which he was seventy years a stew ard. The pastor of the church, Rev. Dr. J. C. Morris, will conduct the ser vices. The interment will be in Oco nee cemetery. The stewards of the church will compose the honorary escort and the following will be the active pall-bearers: Mr. Arthur E. Griffith, Mr. Edgar Levy, Mr. Edward M. Howell/ Mr. Joe N. Webb, Chan cellor D. C. Barrow, Mr. H. H. Lin ton, Col. Thomas F. Green, and Judge John R. White. In Memory of Mr. Moss. Truly it was a “a friend coming on an errand of release and divine con voy,” that death came to Mr. R. L. Moss on Thursday night and now ly ing amid beautifpl flowers, with a veritable radiance of peace upon hia face his mortal remains await the last loving services which will be held at the First Methodist church on Sunday morning at 11 o’clock. For seventy years Mr. Moss had been a steward of this church, having been elected to that position at eigh teen years of age. He lived his first sixteen years in Oglethorpe county and then came to Athens and began his business life, as a clerk. In 1846 he. formed a part nership with Maj. Blanton Hill and from that time until 1861’ his was an active life of unusual constructive force. During the War Between the States after helps with Gen. Howell Cobb in Florida he was transferred to Atlanta and there placed in charge of the commissary department where he re mained In constant service until' the surrender. One Incident of this pe riod of his life is vividly recalled. The food supply was so low that or ders were given that only to the sol diers must bread be given. Seeing the starving, freezing women, Mr. Moss said quietly, “I will buy bread for the women” and this he did-as long as he had anything with which to pay and returned from there In a state of complete physical and finan cial depletion. * After eighteen months of battling with disease he took up the struggle for a living, having charge successive ly of the Princeton Cotton factory. Pioneer Paper Mill and superintend Ing the building of the Northeast rail road, now a branch of the Southern. For thirty-four years Mr. Moss had IB. DEATH OHM LAST IH Last night about half after seven o’clock occurredvthe death of Mrs. An nie E. Toomer, the widow of the late J. B. Toomer of this city. Mrs. Toom er has been confined to her room foi several weeks past—suffering from pulmonary trouble. She was fifty- nine years of age and had been a resident of Athens for many years. She leaves a brother and sister—rest; dents of. this city: Col. E. <S. Price and Mrs. Chas. N. Weatherly. The body will be carried to Charles- ton, her former home, and the burial will be by the side of her husband, whose death occurred something more than a year ago. Mrs. Toomer was identified with her husband in business for many years and since his death has been carrying on the business he establish ed and in which he and his wife to gether amassed large property. Mrs. Toomer had a large number of friends here who will receive the news of her death with much sorrow Good Meeting at Second Baptist A good .meeting has been in pro gress all this week at the Second Baptist church, East Athens, Rev. F. P. Cooper, the pastor, being assisted by Rev. Willie Saye. Much Interest has been aroused and the congrega tions have been growing in numbers each night. The series of services will probably be protracted through next week also, been in the cotton business and in- all these varying enterprises he had built up a reputation for absolute honesty, justice and consideration of tbe less fortunate. With Christian steadfastness he has gone in and out before this peo ple, meeting bis obligations as a cit izen, helping the weak to bear their burdens long before he achieved any thing like what is called “success 1 for himself. Mr. Moss was married in 1848 to Miss Mary Anthony who died .rhile on their wedding journey. In 1856 he married Miss Elizabeth Luckie, of Covington, Georgia. The married life of this couple is known to reach the plane of the ideaL Mrs. Moss survives her husband and In this hour of separation the knowledge of his blameless life, lived each day In the fear of the Lord, Is a source of strength and comfort as Is the realization that 'tor God's chll : dren to be death-called is to he God- called: to he God-called Is to be Christ-found; to be Christ-found 4s Hope and Home and Heaven." The report of the grand jury com mittee on roads and bridges id al ways of importance and interest to the public. The committee from the last grand jury made an automobile inspection of the roads and bridges covering nearly all sections of the county. Their written report men tions only those things which to them seemed in need of attention. As a consequence, the trend of the report may be misleading to a stronger or even to our own citizens who are not familiar with the efficient work which the county gets In all road and bridge matters. The Banner has taken the trouble to investigate the minutes and records of the commissioners with a view to supplying further in formation which will prevent any misconstruction of the brief report submitted by the grand jury commit tee. It appears that since July, the county engineer has been specially charged with bridge inspection. Near ly all of the bridges in the county have been inspected during the past two months, and contracts to the amount of $2800 have been let for new steel bridges and for 1200 feet of iron bridge railing to replace the wooden railing which is so difficult to maintain on the open bridges and trestles. The committee of tbe grand jury seem to have been unaware of these facts for the new bridge ma terial and railing was ordered for the very bridges to which they call at tention. As to the two bridges on the Lex ington road mentioned by the report, two new steel spans were contracted for after advertisement early in Sep tember last subject to mill delivery. The steel mills are rushed with or ders and it requires several months to secure these bridges. In the mean time, these two bridges have been firmly supported by additional props below and are carefully watched by residents close by and are entirely safe for the public. Similarly for the wooden trestle over Shcal Creek, a 120 ft steel bridge has been Ordered and will be erected on arrival. This trestle has been supported thoroughly and is un der the inspection of Mr. W. R. Tuck a nearby resident who will report any weakness' if it should develop. Similarly, the steel bridge on Tal- lassee Road of which one pier was somewhat undermined by the heavy flood in August and thrown out of level. After inspection it was decid ed to let the pier settle as much as it would before jacking up the bridge and building new concrete under it In its present condition it is safe foi traffic, owing to the strength and rigidity of the heavy structure. It was thought by the county engineei immediately after the freshet thal the county would be forced to move the bridge and build two new piers at cost of $i500.00. But after waiting and watching for further settlement it is now hoped that the present pier can be repaired and that a very large expenditure saved. Several-references are made to de fective wooden bridge railings., The county engineer has advised the use of iron railings on all 'uncovered bridges and trestles. In September the contract was let for 1200 ’feet of such railing. The most difficult prob lem in bridge maintenance, is keeping satisfactory railing of wood. The decay is rapid, the fastings give way, and the careless traveller frequently prizes off the pieces for camp fire pur poses. The substitution of iron rail ings firmly, bolted to the bridge tim bers will-be. a great economy and safeguard to the-public. The record of more than a hundred years in attendance at the Univer sity of Georgia has been again broken. Last year's total enrollment accord ing to the pecorda of the registrar was six hundred and fifty-four. There have been registered already, by Oct 25, more than all last year’s enrollment and If the proportional in crease shall develop between this time and the middle of the Bpring term corresponding to last year's, tbe attendance will' run away over tbe seven hundred mark. The six hundred and fifty-seventh student registered yesterday. The studet who broke the records of last year’s total registratlo is J. G. PoweU, who comes to take a B. S. course. He has been a soldier In the regular army of the United States and was discharged honorably from the service- on account olt failure off health. Be comes now to begin train ing for life of another sort and seta in to take an academic coarse looking^ to the Bachelor of Science degree. Tbe next student to register was W. A. Luburrow. He is one of the first to register for the new course which is part of the full medical, col lege course—two years here and two years;, afterward at tbe medical college In Augusta, now fully a branch of the University Bystem. The six hundred and fifty-seventh student la irom the islands ’round the world—the Philippines, Manuel Ri ver!. Hei comes to take the regular course in pharmacy in tbe school of pharmacy of. the University of Geor gia. ATTEM’flD 10 WRECK CENTRAL OF IA PM For an attempt to wreck a Central Railroad train Sanders Reagan, a ne gro, was yesterday .morning placed in the Clarke county prison—to await trial for an alleged felony. At tbe “ninety-nine and a half” mile post several miles out from Ath ens, in this connty, the alleged at tempt was made. It is charged that a heavy piece of iron was placed on the track a little while before the pas senger train coming into the city of Athens was due to pass. It happened that the work crew was out later than usual and was racing in ahead of the train on a hand car. The handcar struck the obstacle and was derailed, the section foreman and several hands being flung in air and landed in a heap by the side of the track, with sundry scratches and bruises. The accident to-tbe handcar doubt less saved the regular passenger train from a serious accident in which lives probably would have been lost.

Tbe story in the Banner yesterday morning relative to the use of colored tickets in the national election on the fifth of November stirred up the dem ocratic brethren in this neck of the woods. Active citizens in polities discuss ed the matter of the pink ticket for the democratic candidate and after consultation and consideration, dis cussion and deliberation, it was decid ed by several to go direct to head- querters for some action. The chair man of the democratic executive com mittee, Hon. W. J. Harris, was ap pealed to in the following telegram signed hy five democrats of this city: f Wire to Chairman. Athens, Ga., Oct. 25, 1912. Honorable .W. J. Harris, Ohm. State Candler Building, Atlanta, Ga. We think it wisest to use the white ticket which, has been the us ual ticket used for years in all elec tions and not take any chances of irregularity inf using a ticket which is unusual and cpntrary to tbe past cus tom. We will have white tickets dis- tributed, recalling as far as possible the tickets which have been distrib uted according to your instructions, unless we are advised to tbe contrary. Answer. GEO. C.

Romance in Real Life Enters ' Realm of Local Showdom At the time of the committee’s visit to Simonton’s bridge, the road force was'engaged on extenisve filling and. improvements . there. An integral part of that work is to make the ap proaches and abutments thoroughly safe, and to substitute iron beams lot wooden ones. Ne^on’s bridge was carefully irspected in August. The bents and floor beams are strong. The floor Is trough and has some bad planks anjl the railing is weak. npwi floor and Iron railing had been recommended for this structure.

With this j»nm; ll i^hHes'of excellent top soil roads were built, and a new 24 ft, steel bridge wifh concrete pleia was erected; The county ..has gotten full value in return for the expenditure.' The tax values in Buck Branch In Georgia Factqry and In Kenney’s dis tricts should show a distinct increase ion the next digest in consequence. The commissioners are following a steady policy of doing thorough con struction as they go, trying at the same time to do justly hy all sections of the county, and they have .begun not only a. systematic Inspection of bridges, but have adopted the sound policy of replacing modern trestles as fast as possible by concrete piers mid steel beam construction. The grand jury committee has., uninten tionally, by their report; given a wrong Impression to .the public of tho road work in the county and the effi ciency with which it is being handled. The testimony and public judgment Is universal that Clarke county has the largest mileage and the best roads of any county in Georgia for tbe money she has spent. "a Si
