RED AND BLUE TICKET TEAMS
BUSY FOR CHATAUQUA SUCCESS
Charles B. Hanford, America’s Great
Tragic Actor and the Mysterious
Miiburns on Second Day's
Program.
Mr. Hanford takes his audience into
the classic drama —the realm of trag
edy, romance and comedy. His asso
ciation with Robson and Crane, Ed
win Booth and Lawrence Barrett,
Thomas W. Keene and Louis James,
together with his twenty-five years
as a star at the head of his own
company, has firmly established him
in the public eye as one of Ameri
ca’s greatest actors of classic roles.
He is as much at home in Hamlet
Marc Antony and Malvolio as he is
with Shylock, lago and Leontes. Mr.
Hanford’s breadth of experience and
strict devotion to his art, added to a
personality which lends itself to the
Shakespearean roles, is an assurance
of great success on the Chautauqua
platform. He is well known as one
of the greatest actors of the Aineri
can stage, and has won for himself a
multitude of friends throughout the
country. Shakespeare is not dead.
His characters live, and move in the
life of today. The man who can point
them out as they pass by, is the
man we want to hear and see. Han
ford is one of the few men capable of
working this miracle of art.
Gustave Milburn is a magician and
his charming wife is his capable as
sistant. Together they make an at
tractive couple, who delight the chil
dren and entertain their parents.
Among his magical novelties are
♦ricks which puzzle the mind and
cuV?er the heart. What he says is
often quite as interesting as what
he does. Dexterity, suggestion, mys
tery and humor make up a program
with an irresistible fascination, Slate
writing, turning water into-wine, and
wine into water, the escape from the
Russian convict chain, a phenomenal
of billiard balls, and other tricks
which nobody explains comprise a
program with breathless interest from
start to finish. Mrs. Milburn is a
charming lady, and adds interest to
the entertainment. If you wish to
enjoy a magician who has taken up
with intelligent earnestness and who
ranks among the best, don’t fail to
see Milburn, Magician and entertain
er.
Speaking of chautauquas The Ath
ens Banner says:
are recreative —and recreation
and entertainment have their necessa
ry and excellent places in the scheme
of well rounded, evenly developed
community life. They are cultural —
and what tow r n or city, even above
the average in refinement and culture
does not find good for the growing
young folks at least in this sort of
advantage. They are inspirational—
many of the lectures, the cream of
the best thought of capable speakers,
the climax of a long effort of bright
j’inds, are calls and challenges to
■better things, and many a young man
has caught the divine fire from the
lyceum platform. The chautauquas
are constructive in any town or city
or village. The movement necessa
rily, incites the public spirit and the
local firide and patriotism of the peo
ple as a whole and there is at once
a co-operation, a unity of effort in
organization and execution that is
one of the finest things that can
happen to any community. Getting
together in the delightful work of a
Chautauqua the town finds that it is
organized and primed to get together
for permanent things, for civic re
forms, for industrial enterprises, for
accomplishing any one of a dozen ol
things which it was thought the 'set
tlement’ could not as a practical
f unanimous whole ever be crystaliz
Pinto attempting.
“It is a good sign that there are
any chautauquas; there is good in
them: may there be more and better
of them.”

MONTHLY CROP REPORT
SHOWS INCREASE IN GRAIN
Atlanta, (la., June 22.—The Month
ly Crop Report just issued by the Bu
reau of Crop Estimates of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
shows the acreage of oats in Georgia
as 200 per cent, of the crop of 19J4.
This is the largest increae of acreage
in per cent of any state in the Union
being 50 per cent, larger than the
increase of Louisiana, the next state
in point of gain, which was 150 per
cent, of the 1914 crop. The forecast
of condition of June Ist gives a prob
able production of oats in Georgia of
16,416,000 bushels this year against
9,000,000 bushels last year. The
same forecast gives this year’s crop
of winter wheat as 3,279,000 bushels,
agaiirst only 1,694,000 bushels in 1914
an increase of nearly 100 per cent.
This increase Is exceeded by only
two states —South Dakota where the
acreage of winter is negligible, lin
ing less than half that of Georgia,
and South Carolina, which showed a
slightly greater percentage on in
crease, but a much smaller produc
tion than Georgia.
Reports from many persons who
have traveled over much of Georgia
recently indicate that the increase
of grain crops has been much great-
er in Southwest Georgia, where many
persons attribute much of the credit
for this best of preparations lor the
coming of the boll weevil and the
price of cotton on account of the war
to the intensive campaign by the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce, be
gun in the Fall of 11> 13, and conduct
ed in twenty-three counties of South
west Georgia, nearest to the inefct
ed territory across the Alabama line.
This campaign was conducted thru
newspapers, by posters on hundreds
of bill-boards, by meetings and
speeches, signed pledges to increase
their planting of foodcrops personal
ly solicited from farmers, and by
letters and thousands of pieces of
literature sent to farmers, teachers,
preachers and merchants.

Begging.

Cross funds available for famine re
lief in Mexico have been exhausted
and today the society issued another
urgent appeal for foodstuffs and for
money. Twenty thousand people are
reported practically tsarving in Guer
rero.
The seriousness of the food situa
tion even in Vera Cruz is said to be
indicated by one case reported to
Red Cross headquarters and announc
ed'today. One talented woman, tw?n
ty-three years a public school teach
er, was found begging in the streets
for food. A sister, well educated,
was peddling soap. Other school

CARRANZA IS BENT
ON CRUSHING VILLA.
“First Chief’ Informs U. S. He Will
Not Treat With Adversaries.
To Continue Campaign.
Washington, June 23. —General Ve
nustiano Carranza has informed the
United States that under no circum
stances will he treat with General
Villa and that he will continue to
push his military campaign to crush
his adversaries.
President Wilson had today a long
report on General Carranza's views
as given in informal conversation
with an American consular officer
at Vera Cruz. He found in it little
hope for an accommodation of dif
fenences between the Mexican fac
tions. General Carranza reiterated
that his was not a campaign for the
elevation of personalities, but for the
principles of the revolution, that
his opponents were “reactionaries"
and desirous only of satisfying per
sonal ambitions.
LANSING IS NAMED
TO SUCCEED BRYAN.
Washington, June 23.—Robt. Lan
sing, who as counselor of the state
department has advised President
Wilson in law and precedent in the
policy pursued by the United States
toward belligerent governments since
the outbreak of the European war,
was named today secretary of state
to succeed William Jennings Bryan.
Few appointments in recent years
have given such widespread satisfac
tion in the national capital. Mr. Lan
sing is a life-long democrat, but the
has devoted his time to international
law and diplomacy and is as popular
\vith former republican officials as
with his colleagues. Members of
the cabinet and close personal friends
of the president advised the selection
PRAISE GOVERNOR’S HONESTY.
Atlanta, June 22. —One of the unex
pected features in connection with
the thousands of editorials and let
ters and telegrams commending Gov
ernor John M. Slaton in his action
in commuting the sentence of Leo
M. Frank, is the fact that commen
dations have come even from number
of well known people who personally
believe Frank guilty, yet who feel
that the governor acted rightly.
While adhering to their personal
view of Frank’s guilt, they commend
the action of the governor in light
of the fact that the case has been
shot through and through with doubt
from the original trial court room all
the way through its course. The trial
judge doubted; the state supreme
court, and even the prison commis
sion’s recommendation was not unani
mous.

HOUSE AND SENATE ORGANIZE.
Atlanta, Ga., June 23.—The threat
ened fireworks were inconspicuous
this morning, when the house or rep
resentatives organized. It hardly
could be likened to the sputtering of
a fuse. William H. Burwell, of Sparta
was elected speaker, as had been for<
casted, but (he forecast missed his
vote by three, he went on with 156
instead of 153, and Dr. Eichelberger's
candidate, Mr. Sheppard got the
*
round number of 30.
Following is how the official line
up of the two houses reads:
Senate.
President, G. Ogden Persons, For
syth, Twenty-second district.

nesses, including Thaw himself, tes
tified today that they believed Har

They appeared in the proceedings
before the jury to test Thaw’s present,

he escaped.
Small Fire Saturday Night.
Fire was discovered at about ten
o’clock Saturday night in the rear
of Duncan’s store in the mill dis
trict. The house was owned by Col.
Quarterman and was occupied by Mrs

in the closet.
