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.

Under the title of “News of the Sixties,” the Columbus En- quincr-Sun has the following item which appeared in that newspaper on August 11, 1 so:j.
