STUART’S BDCHU AND JUNIPER COMPOUKD FOR KIDNEY TROUBFfS • 50 Years on the Market * Atlanta, March 9.—With the usual accompaniment of brass bands of street-crowding throngs, Theodore Roosevelt, private citizen of the Uni ted States, arrived this morning. The blowing of trumpets and noise of prancing steeds seems etemail} asso ciated with his presence, even when he doesn’t strive for it, for cer tainly Roosevelt had nothing to do with the preparation of the welcome which was accorded him here today. The problem Atlanta now faces Is how, tomorrow morning. It can accord to President Taft a more lavish wel come that It accorded to Citizen Roosevelt today. Col. Roosevelt is now at the Pied mont hotel, where he will rest until 1:30 o’clock when a luncheon will he tendered him at the Piedmont Driv ing Club by the chamber of coin merce. At three o’clock this after noon he will make a speech at a lo cal negro Methodist church. He ai ways does, every time he comes here. Tonight there will be a banquet at the Capital City club, and then Col, Roosevelt will deliver his address, the main feature of the day, on the floor of the Southern Commercial Congress. Col. * Roosevelt w ill speak or. "The South’s Obligation in. States. Tranship and Business Endeavor." He will speak extemporaneously. There is some doubt this morning whether or not Secretary of War Dickinson will get to the congress at all. The mobilization of the United States troops on the Mexican frontier, together with the rumors of an invas ion of Mexico the instant Diaz dies, may make it impossible for Secretary Dickinson to remain In Washington Among the addresses delivered this morning at the congress were those by Baron de Ris Blanco of the South American republics and Ambassador de la Barra of Mexico. The south’s approach to the orient was discussed by Dr. Calhoun New ton, of aJpan. an opportunity' to meet ail the dis anguished atendants on the congress and also to become acquainted over again with his former Atlanta friends. Col. Theodore Roosevelt will attend tiie reception in honor of Governor Wilson this afternoon. Atlanta. March 9—Congressman Hardwick, who was in Atlanta a day or two ago as the guest of Governor- elect Hoke Smith was roundly c< gratulated here on his interview re five to the closing of the recent t tioo.il assembly. Congressman Hard wick has been a busy man since con gr<ss adjourned. A day or two ago he was engaged in a civil court s in Sandersville. his home town, which, associated with Attorney Ja Hastings, of Atlanta, he won a verdl* for his claim against the Central Georgia railway of $8,000. Congressman Hardwick, it will be recalled, was one of the seven demo eratic members of the national assem bly honored with a position on the house rules commltfe of the sfxf.v-i ond session. Atlanta. March 9.—Dr. (). ('amp bell Morgan, the noted Bible schola of London, England, will arrive here tomorrow' and deliver the first ad dress of the Tabernacle Bible Confer ence Friday evening. The conference >pens tonight with a grand concert by- Atlanta musicians assisted by the well known evangelist-singer, Chari Butler. The announcement of the appea ice at the conference of Dr. Morgan will be gladly received and this alon 8Ures a record-breaking atendan lor lie has int-n here before and de lighted many by his able Interpreta tions of the scriptures. Dr. Morgn peak three times a day—at 1 4 p. m. and 8 p. m. This fa moils preacher w'hose sermons and writings are read and enjoyed in rv land will be in Atlanta only n days as he will sail from New York for London on Saturday March 18. Atlanta is the only city Dr. Morgan will visit on this trip to America Those who have already had the pleasure of hearing him will turn out again in large numbers and those ho have never listened to his talks are awaiting eagerly for that mro opportunity. It is of interest to stat that I)r. Morgan prepares each week an able exposition on the Sunda hool lessons which appear under syndicate control in various papers. Besides the great expositor Dr. Mor gan, several other speakers of nation reputation and of recognized ablli Jty to discuss Biblical themes hav been secured and will take part in th program of the conference from day to day. Indications point to an unusual! large out-of-town attendance. Parties from the eastern states, from tlie cen tral west, and of course, many from the southern states, are engaging rooms in advance preparatory to their arrival in the city for the conferenc meetings. Atlanta, March 9.—No individual ho comes to the Southern Commer cial Congress, not even excepting President Taft, will be shown more signal honors than Governor Wood- row Wilson of New Jersey, the dis anguished former president of Prince ton University. A special delegation of prominent Atlantans will go all the way this afternoon to Beaufort tc meet the train which brings Gov ernor Wilson south, and will escort him back to Atlanta. Hon. Walter P. Andrews, president of the Atlanta Young Men’s Democratic League will head this special escort, and (lover nor Wilson will be the guest of the league while here. All this special honor is partly because Governor Wil son was once a struggling young At lanta lawyer, and bereuse he married Georgia girl, formerly Miss Axon, of Rome Ga., thus identifying himself with this state. A public reception Ul he held later this afternoon, at which Governor Wilson will he given Atlanta. March 9.—Governor-elect Hoke Smith goes to Conyers tomor row to deliver an address when th state agricultural train arrives. H< has followed with keen Interest the progress of the train throughout Georgia, and has great faith in th educational work it is accomplishing Governor-elect Smith may tell th mors at Conyers something about what he is doing with deep subsoil plows on his own big farm in DoKalb ountv. It is the admiration of ihole country-side. Atlanta. March 9.—Gen. Owens, commander-in-chief of the United Fons of Confederate Veterans, who 1 a prominent figure <tt the Southern Commercial Congress, is of the opln ion that the young men of the south will never live up to their highest possibilities until they take more in terest In themselves accomplishing something in the present than glorlf/ving what their father's did in same time vigorous sentiment, coming the past. This is healthy and at th from the source it does, is occasioning the most widespread comment and interest. General Owens believes in preserving the sacred traditions of the lost cause, but believes in a strong allegiance to "Old Glory," and believes above all, that the young men of the south must look forward not backward. Until they do It, he de clares, the south can never hope to come into its fullest and richest de- elopment. Atlanta. Mar. 9.—Another long arduous legal fight faces Greene and nor before they can obtain their liberty. As had been expected, when they applied to the United States commission yesterday morning make the pauper’s oaths which would have relieved them from the heavy fines, they were opposed by District Attorney Carter Tate, who served no ice that he expected to prove that hey had hundreds of thousands of dollars unlawfully secreted some where. The United States attorney b? given until March 21st to prove this The hearing will he had then. If it can be proven, the twi prisoners must either pay up or sta in the pen. If it can’t, they go free. “CRACKAJACK” The Greatest Cotton Grower Ever Put Ion the Market Every body who used it last year is ordering again for this year, and their friends and neighbors are coming with them.
