The Ath. ;>s Woman's Club through
its executive committee Is very cor
dially c--.ir.nlig tlie enterprise of the
roller $oe school in the exhibi
tion ares being given at that
school -• week. The club appre
ciates the- excellent showing of fine
copies of the masters and the effect

to attain by the means of this exhibit
-to Wise a fund for the purchase of
suitable pictures for the school rooms.
Tho College avenue school has done
murh in good work of improvement
anl Is planning to do more.
Miss Mildred Rutherford yesterday
visited the pictures and very soon an
Interested and eager groc-p of young
I people and children was gathered
about her listening to the stories of
the various pictures, as she told them
the galleries where each masterpiece
is seen in original and recounted in
teresting stories about some of the
pictures and their painters. She told
of the “Madonna of the Chair,” which
was painted upon the head of a bar
rel because Raphael wns to poor to
buy canvas. She told them another
story of the great painter's poverty:
Going to an inn once he was without
the price of his score and upon leav
ing he painted a coin on the surface
of the table. The landlord bowed his
thanks and discovered later that the
painted coin was of far more value
than would have been the real piece
of silver.
The Woman's club appreciates the
effort to supply the children with the
best things in art and urges all to
see the exhibit.
Only Ten Methodist Preachers
At Oconee Street Last Night
It has been said that where there were the ministers present last night:
is money to be made there the enter
prising, keen-witted Greek trader will
be found—Invariably. A similar rule
Is that where there is a revival going
on there the Methodist preachers will
bo plentiful. This was borne out here
this week, when last night at the
Oconee street Methodist church there
were no fewer than ten Methodist
ministers—and it may be said that a
great revival meeting is in progress.
The sign held good. The following

The Banner had the pleasure of
seeing the exceptionally good exhibit
of prints of the masterpieces of art

J. W. Jarrell, Cashier
of Offices Here, Is
Named Telephone
Manager.
Mr. J. W. Jarrell has been selected
manager of the offices of the South
ern Bell Telephone Company here and
in the territory which ha-a been under
the supervision of the Athens manag
er for several years—all the places in
a radius of something like fifty miles
of Athens.
Mr. Jarrell succeeds the late Mr.
H. C. Conway, who was here for more
than twenty-five years and died in the
service—capable and efficient till his
last illness, beloved and respected al
ways by the thousands of patrons of
the company.
To succeed Mr. Conway Is no small
responsibility and to make good as he
did will require tact and patience, ex
ecutive ability and energy, judgment
and discretion. That the company se
lected Mr. Jarrell the officials—from
President Gentry down—Is evidence
that they believe that he has these
qualifications. The people of Athens
are delighted to welcome him to the
position—believing with the compa
ny’s management that he is the right
man for the place.
He has been with the company for
a number of years, being cashier foi
some time past. He is a Clarke coun
ty man—reared in a few miles of
Athens—and has many friends here
and over this section of the state.

Many Brothers Are Mixed up in
This Legal Tangle About $600
The case of E. H. Rylee vs. the
Grlffeth Implement Company petition
for injunction was heard and argued
before Judge Brand yesterday morn
ing—the attorneys being Col. Wolver
Smith for the plaintiff and Green &
Michael for the Grlffeth Company.
The case 1b mixed-up affair in which
a large number of brothers figure in
oue way and another. Messrs. H. M.
Rylee and Strick Rylee are the ex
ecutors of the will of their father, the
late J. D. Rylee. There were a large
number of heirs and the apportion
ment gave to Dr. J. M. Rylee about
1600 worth of property. It was held
that he sold his share in the estate
to his wife who in turn sold it to the
Criffeth Implement Company. Now
•Mr. E. H. Rylee asks that the Grlffeth
Company be rt strained from taking
possession of the property to which
they have a deed from Dr. Rylee
through his wife. It being held by E.
11. Rylee that he has executions
against Dr. Rylee in favor of E. H.
ltyl-.e against the property which
come ahead of the deed which the
Grlffeth Company holds.
The case has not been decided.
Game Season Long Past Over But
Game Warden Worries About Fish
(Special to the Banner.)
Atlanta, May 13.—Although the
game season is over until fall and
State Game Warden Jesse E. Mercer
is just now exercised about the fish
around and about, he is very much
worried over the dove situation, and
declares that something has got to bo
done by the legislature this suipmer
or there will bo no doves left in Geor
gia.
Commissioner Mercer is in favor of
going to the extreme of enacting a
Jaw prohibiting the killing of cloves
altogether for a period of at least
three years. This will be sad news
to the dove shooters, particularly In
the southwestern part of the state
where baited fields have furnished
amusement, as well as delicious game
for hundreds of them.
“The truth of tho matter,” said Mr.
Mercer, “is that doves are about to
become extinct in Georgia. This is
due largely to tho fact that Juries
everywhere will persist In acquitting
violators of the-law. The penalty foi
violating the dove baiting law Is the
largest of any, the fine being from
$1.00 to $1,000 and a chalngang sen-
LAWRENCEViLLE TO
GET POWER FI
TALIOLAH
(Special to the Banner.)
Lawrenceville, Ga.. May 13.—Tho
rny has closed a contract for electric
uirrent with the North Georgia Elec
tric & Power Company, the same to
go into effect the 1st of January, 1314.
The company will build a line from
Ruwanee to Lawrenceville, and the
juice wil come from the plant at Tal
lulah Falls.
The city officials estimate that it
will result in a saving to the town of
from $1,000 to $1,400 annually.
We will have a day current also
of 2300 voltage and the same can be
used for manufacturing as well as
lighting purposes.
Th" city pays at the rate of approx
imately 1 1-2 cents per kilowatt hour,
but the consumer will continue to
fork over 10 cents for what he uses.
At present the McCrary Company
Is furnishing the current and the
same is generated at the cotton mill.
The city has a contract with both
companies for power, and as the Mc
Crary contract lapses over the new
arrangements made with the North
Georgia people it Is up to the officials
to git us out of the tangle.

Joint Committee of
Council and Board
Planning Needed
Extensions.
The joint committees of the city
council and tbe board of education
met last night for the purpose of ad
vising and planning for the enlarging
and remodeling the various school
buildings in tho city.
A report was amde by ChairmaD
Michael, of the building committee of
the board of education, as to the con
ditlons of the present buildings and a
number of recommendations were in
corporated in the report. The mem
bers of tHe joint committee discussed
Bt some length the suggestions con
tained In the report and finally came
to the conclusion that on account of
the large amount of detail work to
be done before any definite action
could be taken, it wu decided to ap
point a sub-committee to thrash the
matter out and to make a report at
an early date to the whole committee.
On motion the following committee
was appointed: Aldermen Gordon,
Young and Woods trom the council
and from the board of education C. D.
Flanigen, K. G. Michael and Aaron
Cohen. Mayor Rowe, City Engineer
Barnett and Mr. John D. Mell, presi
dent of the board of education, were
elected ex-offlelo members of the com
mittee.
A meeting of the committee will be
held on next Tuesday evening at the
city hall, at which time it Is thought
that definite plans can be agreed up
on and a report carrying proposed
plans and specifications can be sub
mitted to the whole committee at that
time.
This Committee Has Statewide
Question to Consider and Study
One committee of the Athens cham
ber of commerce has the most impor
tant duty of any committee of any
organization in the state. The joint
tax committee of the trade body of
Athens is studying the tax question
not as a purely local matter but the
board question of taxes, tax assess
ments, valuations of properties, sys
tems of taxation, general tax and spe
cific taxes, rates and comparisons,
and all the various phases of the
question which Is now the most Im
portant one in this country. This
committee is studying the matter for
the state as well as for Athens and
their work will be of such nature as
to effect for betterment the system
of the stalte—eventually. That com
mittee has just added Prof. E. C.
Branson to the list—his work in ru
ral economics fitting himself for a
most valuable angle on the subject.
The others of the committee are: Mr.
C. D. Flanigen, chairman, Messrs. C
B. Griffith, A. W. Brooks, and W. H
Shelton, Dr. J. H. T. McPherson, Br
R. E. Curtis, and Judge Andrew J
Cobb.
It Is hardly probable that any cham
ber of commerce committee of any
city in the Union has such an array
of earnest and able students of the
matter in band in its personnel.
Tri-State Convention of the
Association of the Deaf, Macon
The convention of the deaf to be John T. Moore, mayor of Macon, O. P.
held at Macon, Ga., June 5-6, 1913,
next, promises to be the most Inter
esting convention ever held In Geor
gia.
Special program have been arrang
ed for each days session. Prominent
speakers will be heard including Hon.
Willingham, chairman of the chamber
of commerce entertainment commit
tee and E. H. Hyman, general secre
tary chamber of commerce of the
city of Macon, and many others. An
Intrepeter will explain to the dele
gates the words of the speakers.

tencc of one to 30 days. Although
doves have been killed the past s.a-
son in bait fields by tlie thousands,
have been unable to secure any
convictions.
"The dove is about to disappear
from Gtorgia just as the passenger
pigeons have disappeared, fhc last
passenger pigeon in America died a
short time ago in the Zoological gar
dens in Cincinnati. Although plentl
ful at one time, they were killed in
discriminately and the result is today
not one of the bird3 is left. This is
just what Is going to happen to doves
In Georgia, unless there Is a radical
change.
"The only remedy tor this situation
so far as I can see Is that which will
prohibit tbe killing of doves for a
term of years. It is highly probable
that the department will a3k tho leg
lslature to pass such a bill the coming
session, and i( It is adopted in Geor

The following dispatch appeared in
the state papers a day or two ago:
‘‘Jesup, Ga.—John Arnold, an itine
rant preacher, is in jail here today,
charged with mistreating a 5-year-old
white girl. Arnold is 45 years old
He is a native of Marion, S. C.”
The extended story in some of tlie
South Georgia papers was to the ef
ct that the assault was a peculiarly
atrocious one, and that there came
near being a lynching.
It will be remembered that this
same man was in Athens some year?
ago—and served a sentence on the
gang here for cruelly beating a little
girl who was traveling with him at
that time.
MR. ALLEN TO SING
THE ROSARY
No more popular numbers could bo
announced to the Majestic patrons,
than the Rosary sung by Mr. Allen.
Certainly no song was so universally
enjoyed as that one during Mr. AI

when certainly It should prove more
attractive than ever this season.
Mr. Allen announces that from now
on his musical numbers will be of the
lighter classical order instead of the
heavy numbers he has hertofore ren
dered.
The Banner has received the follow
ing advance story about the edition
of the Constitution (which made its
appearance in good form yesterday)
gotten out by the class In journalism
taught by Prof. W. F. Melton at Em
ory College, Oxford. On the margin
of the scrap of paper containing the
item is written these suggestive
words: “Why not a department of
journalism for the University?" The
matter may be taken up at tbe next
meeting of the trustees.
Tbe advance item of the venture
by the Emory lads, which wa3 abun
dantly and efficiently borne out by
yestextey's issue of the ‘igraat South
ern daily.” is as follows:
“It seldom falls to the lot of col
lege students to issue an edition of
a great newspaper, but the excep
tion will be when Dr. Wrightman F.
Melton and his class of journalism at
Emory College, will be the guest of
Editor Clark Howell, of the Atlanta
Constitution on next Monday. They
will do the actual work on tho morn
ing paper, of course, under the su
pervision of the editors and repor
ters.
“Even to the editorial work, feature,
articles, poetry and cartooning will be
done by Emory students. The Tues

fruits of this work.

From the Manger to the Cross 99
to Be Seen at Majestic Friday
Many letters have been received by
Mr. Montgomery, complimenting him
on his wisdom in securing snch a
deep and interesting subject for ex
hibition, the film being entirely out
of the ordinary class of motion pic
ture films- Some of these letters
breathe a spirit that would make tha
heart of a eleryman glad, in that
they tell In clear and unmistakable
language that the wonderful picture
has been the means of bettering and
aiding hundreds of lives.
It is impossible for one—be his
views of pronounced Infidelity—to
watch this picture without feeling
that there is more in the religion of
Christ than appears on the surface.
The impressive manner in which tho
story of Jesus Is told in the beauti
ful scenes, sinks deep In the heart
nf all, leaving with them a desire to
turn to closer and more faithful con
templation of the Scriptures. This
influence of the picture Is Its great
i st value to the world. It may not
displace th|? earnest and repeated
teachings of the clergy, but it will be
a help to those who are constantly
striving to make plain the sacred
story of Christ’s life and works on
earth.

Yesterday morning before Judge
Brand at chambers Attorneys Cross-
ley and Gamble fought out a stubborn
injunction suit between James
Ilall and Andy Seagraves. Both men
are well known. Hall being a city
fireman. and they both live in East
Athens. They have pieces of land ad
joining and Seagraves has been cross
ing a corner of Hall's place for some
time—taking it for a roadway. Hall
warned him to quit using the way for
passage and when he would not de
sist brought action for legal restraint.
Seagraves claims that the passage has i
been used for a public roadway fori
more than twenty years and is there
fore according to the law—a roadway.
Temporary restraining order from the
court keeps Seagraves from cutting
corners on Hall’s land. Permanent
decision of the court has not yet been
announced.
