Tomorrow morning the Athens
Railway and Electric Company will
inaugurate an improved schedule of
service to accommodate the people of
the city who want the cars in the
early morning—to catch trains outgo
ing in the early part of the day and
for other purposes.
A regular sdhedule of cars on all
lines will be begun at 6:15 and a thir
ty-minutes schedule will.be maintain
ed till 8:13 when the tegular fifteen
minutes schedule as usual will be put
on for tiie remainder of the day.
Fo.- a number of years the cars
have not begun a schedule on Sunday
mornings till 8:15—only one car mak
ing the circuit of the Miliedge and
Roulevard belts to take UP passengers
for the S. A. I., accommodation leav
ing at ":10. The new service will
meet with the hearty approbation of
many who have occasion to use the
early Sunday morning car and will ap
preciate it probably more on Sunday
morning than almost any other day
of the week.

Tech Students’ Unbecoming Con
duct Called Game Off Yesteaday;
Only Apologies Allowed the Play
The residents am! tax payers of
Prince avenue want to know why it
is that Prince avenue can't get h>r
prorata share of work done, such as
oiling the street, such as sprinkling
:’iie street raking off the the dirt and
carting it away.*
Miliedge avenue had two oilings
and now is being swept. 1 presume
for tile purpose of another oiling.
When the mayor and council oiled
Miliedge avenue the first time they
raid the pSxt oiling wifi on
Prince, but so far Prince avenue has
had none of theso luxuries It Is til
ngest and widest street in the cit:
nnd pays more taxes and I think it is
v time for the residents of Prince
tine to d- maud that something be
done for them immediately in the
of sprinkling or oiling and if
complaints through the papers and
therwise don’t suffice, then file a
hill against mayor and council.

(Special to the Banner.)
Atalnta, Ga., May 16.—The base
ball game, which was won today by
Georgia 4 to Tech’s 1, came near be
ing called off as the result of the
thoughtless prank of some overzeal-
ous Tech student.
When President Matheson strolled
around the campus this morning he
found on tho roof of one of the Tech
dormitories a sign with letters ten
feet high and four thick read:
“TO HELL WITH GEORGIA.”
Immediately he got Into communi
cation with Hon. Nat Harris, presi
dent of the Board of Tmsteos, and
Mr. Harris, who was already sore
over the fact that Tech students one
week ago burned Bob McWhorter In
effigy, told President Matheson to
call the game off.
Then Tech students got busy, dis
claimed all responsibility and tried
their best to placate President Mathe
son. All In vain. Finally they held
a mass meeting, and passed resolu
tions of apology to Georgia, and then
and not till then, was the heart of
the "proxy” softened, and a phone
message to Col. Harris resulted In
permission to play. Tech students
declare that the sign was the work
of some deluded sub-freshman, and
deny all responsibility for It.
Just the Reverse Spirit When Tech
Came to Athens.
l*ast week when the Tech team and
student body came to Athens for two
games thp Red and Black they found
as they entered Sanford Field a huge
banner just In the entrance welcom
ing them to Athens and to Georgia.
On either end of the banners w
hupp pennants. on- representing
Georgia the other Tech while the
welcome" was in the colors of the
two institutions.
Georgia nnd her student body
seems to have caught the spirit that
has been urged by the alumni the paBt
few years for a better and friendlier
feeling between the two schools and
are fostering it better than the At
lanta connections with Tech. It will
be remembered that a near riot was
occasioned at a Georgia-Tech game
only a few seasons ago by overzeal
ous Tech students exhibiting a huge
banner on the field that caused the
dander of Georgians to rise to a point
where two of them went for the sign
In a .manner that it took the police
present to quiet things down. Such
practices as these never get anything
and it is hoped that the incident of
yesterday will furnish enough era
liarrassment to the Techites for them
to abandon such tactics.
Several ministers of the city saw
the "Manger to the Crops" picture at
the- JMuUaHBsterday er last night
cosyaendptorv ex-
One
preacher. Rev. Troy Beatty, said:
‘You may quote tup if you like. I
think the picture is fine—and should
be seen by as many, young and older
folks, as can possibly get to see it.”

HI MS HAHN LEWIS WILL
E BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS AT
II. OF 0. INSTEAD V JUDGE SPEER
Yesterday morning Chancellor Bar-
row received in the morning’s mail
an acceptance of an invitation ex
tended some weeks ago to Hon.
James Hamilton Lewis to deliver the
annual baccalaureate address before
the graduating class of the Univer
sity of Georgia on commencement day
next month.
Judge Emory Sp^er was at the
commencement occasion last year
and then accepted tho Invitation to
make the literary address for his
Alma Mater this year. Business en
gagements of a professional nature—
in connection with his office of judge
of the federal court of the southern
district of Georgia—arose and he no
tified the chancellor that however
much he regretted it he would not be
able to be present.
The recently elected senator from
the great state of Ilinois, Hon. J.
Hamilton Lewis, for quite a number
of years a resident and professional
man of Georgia though not a native
of this state nor an alumnus of the
state institution here, was at once
suggested: he was ask°d to make
the address; he graciously accepted.
He has had a remarkable career
and his recent election was hailed
by his hundreds of friends as the
"coming into his own.” He is a
speaker of brilliant gifts, an orator
whose speech is an inspiration and a
delight
Hon. Eugene R. Black will deliver
the alumni address, as announced;
Dr. W. N. Ainsworth, of Macon, will
preach the baccalaureate sermon.

MAKE POST-CARD DAY A SUCCESS!
Wednesday, the twenty-first of
May, this month, next week—
Will be POSTCARD DAY IN ATH
ENS.
It ban been agreed that everybody
shall send out five postcards each,
every card bearing Borne view of Ath
ens, on that day. There are many
business firms which have already
prepared their cards with the "ATH
ENS POSTCARD DAY, May 1st,
1913” written or printed across them.
These firms are planning to slip a
card Into every envelop containing a
letter—business or bill—on that day.
A cent will bo saved and the cardH
will go out!
Others have found job lots of cards
hid away for several months—but
perfectly good for clean advertising
purposes—and are going to send out
five cards and then five more cards
for the other fellow who always for
gets or neglects or—just doesn't care
to do It!
There is an easy estimate that
eighty thousand cards can be Bent
nut through the post office on next
Wednesday, telling the world—liter
ally THE WORLD—a little message
about ATHENS. GEORGIA!
Play your cards!

Old- Time Methodist Shouting at

There was the genuine, old time
Methodist shouting at Oconee street
church last night, where the best
meeting of the entire two weeks' se
ries of revival services was held.
Those who are in the meeting and
who have been in former campaigns
declare that the greatest meeting ever
conducted at Oconee street church is
in progress. There have been to date
fifty-five additions to the church mem
bership. The interest is sweeping on
ward and growing deeper as it
spreads.
There will be no services this af

will be the regular services and the

Typewriter Which Will Make 180
Words Minute Run by Electricity
The Athens Railway and Electric
Company lhas had arranged In its am

the "Electric Shop” on Clayton street
in the few months many unique, strik
ing. effective designs of displays of
various sorts—demonstrating the
manifold manners of turning current
to practical account In light form and
in application to an endless variety
of machines.
There will be an exhibition next
shown In the window that promises to
eclipse anything yet shown. This Is
nothing less than a new Invention In
the form of a electrically operated
typewriter that will write a hundred
and eighty words per minute. “The
only tjhdng the machine lacks,” said
one of the men at the "Shop,” “is an
attachment for spelling correctly."
The new piece of electricity-driven
mechanism has been received and will
be installed in the window today or
in a few days at farthest.
