MR. WILKIN’S MAGNANIMOUS GIFT
With a heart and soul filled with interest and love
for the boys and girls of this state and for their
betterment and usefulness as citizens, Mr. John J.
WilKins. through his generosity, has made it possible
for these young boys and girls to enter tr,e short
summer courses at the state college of agriculture an
receive the benefits of that institution. A gift of five
thousand dollars from him has been announced by
President Soule for the purpose of building a per
manent camp whereby these boys and gir.s who are
seeking advanced training in the fundamentals of
agricultural pursuits may come here annually and
be comfortably provided for. The gift is far reach
ing; practically every county in the ,state will be
represented here and near fifty thousand children
from year to year will benefit from this gift.
Mr. Wilkins has blazed the way for a greater in
stitution and through his generosity he has made it
possible for many deserving boys and girls to come
here and receive the benefits of a training which
they could not have received otherwise. It was
thoughtful on his part; it was generosity to a good
cause; it will help to build Georgia and it will help to
tiain and mould the characters of the coming gene
rations, who will be the citizens of tomorrow, for a
better and more substantial citizenship.
Work will be commenced immediately on the camp
and before another term, it will he in readiness for
the hundreds of boys and girls who will come here
from all sections of the state.
To visit the college and see these young citizens
and the interest they show in the teachings they are
receiving is most inspiring. Absolute earnestness is
stamped on their faces and a determination shown
with every movement to succeed. Barefoot boys and
girls wearing overalls and homespun dresses, in
many cases, prove beyond peradventure that they
will succeed. They deserve to; Mr. Wilkins believed
that they would a id he has shown his faith in them
by providing a way for them to receive the benefits
offered at this institution.

WHO WILL BE THE NOMINEE
In less "than twelve months the democrats of this
country will be called upon to decide who shall be
their leader in the next great nntional contest for the
election of a president. There can ho no doubt but
that the southern democrats will insist'on the nomina
tion of a southern man to lead the party. In Senator
Underwood, the South has an able and popular man
t.o present for the nomination and the nation would
have a man in whom they could place absolute faith
and confidence. He has proved his worth ond abil
ity during the years he has represented the State
of Alabama in the highest councils of the nation.
He is known in the east and west as well as any
leader the party has in other sections of the nation
and with a solid south supporting him, his chance
for election is most encouraging indeed. Here is
what the Washington, (D. C.) Star has to say of him:
Underwood’s hat is in the ring. While othrr
potential candidates for the Democratic nomina
tion for President are marking time, or working
under the surface, the senior senator from Ala
bama has frankly stated he will make the race
if the people of his state want him. And the
people of Alnbama do want him.
Mr. Underwood’s nddress to the state Legisla
ture in Montgomery yesterday is typical of the
man. It is a plain statement of where he stands
on important issues before the country, including
prohibition, the agricultural problem, the tariff
and foreign affairs. During his long service in
the House and Senate there has never been any
, doubt as to where Mr. Underwood stood on
public questions. He has always had the courage
of hi^ convictions, whether those convictions ran
counter to 'the administration of his own party
or counter to the proposals of a Republican ad
ministration.
One matter of particular interest with which
Mr. Undo-wood dealt in his nddress yesterday is
the enforcement of prohibition. He declared
unequivocally for the enforcement of the law
against the use of intoxicating beverages. In the
past he spoke and voted against the prohibition
amendment to the constitution because he did
not believe in it. But he matle it clear ii: Mont
gomery that, that question having been decided
by the people, he is for the enforcement, of the *
law.
Particularly did Mr. Underwood urge the
right of the South to name a Democratic candi
date for President. It is eighty years, Jie said,
since James K. Polk of Tennessee, a Southern
man, was nominated and,elected President of
the United States. For many, many years, he
pointed out, the solid South has supported the
Democratic nominee. It is time, he said, -that
the Southern States, containing more than a
third of the population of the United States, be
given recognition by the selection of a presi-
dentai nominee. It is time, he said, that the
South assert itself. In two wars in the last quar
ter of a century, he snid. the South has given of
her best in the defense of the United States.'
There can be no question as to her loyalty.
Coming from a newspaper published in the heart
of the nation and where all political forces are as
sembled, it is quite significant that the tide, for Sen
ator Underwood could very easily be turned in his
favor. However, it is no time for bickering among
the democrats; if Mr. McAdoo or any other demo
crat shows more strength in tho doubtful states,
then the nomination should go to that man. The
people of the nation arc ready and anxious to make
a change of administration and the present policies
and with a strong man nominated by the democrats
many of the conservative republicans will cast their
ballots for the democratic nominee. V . . _

DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU?
A Little of Everything And Not Much of Anything.

item which appeared in that
newspaper on August 11, 1 so:j.
