Brown Gives
SIOO,OOO to Tech
Atlanta, Ga., Sept 17 —The will
of the late Julius L Brown was
made public today by Gov Jos M
Blown, his brother, he leaves ap
proximately SIOO,OOO to the Georg
gia -school of Technology for the
founding of the “Julius L. Brown
Chair of electricity and Chemistry.”
The income from the bequest is to
he used for supporting and main
taining this department. Govern
or Brown invited President K. G.
Matheson, of the Tech, to the exec
utive mansion tonight and informed
him of this provision in his broth
er’s will. ’
Mr Brown provided that his wife
would receive one-half of the net
income during the remainder of her
life. At her death the estate is to
be divided into three parts and two
thirds of it goes to the Tech and
one-third to .Jos M. Brown. Mr.
Brown left an estate valued at more
thans2oo,ooo. Mr. Brown also left
$7,000 for a monument to his Too
ther. These statues are to lx- plac
ed on the capitol grounds in the
event the state will permit them to
he placed there; if not, they are to
be placed somewhere in the city of
Atlanta.
In the will occurrs the unusual
instance of the testator making be
quests to persons who were friends
to his father and the revoking
them because they were inimical to
his brother Mr. Brown left in h:s
will, which is dated 1907, B<,ooo
each for General William Phillips
of Marietta and Col L X Trammell,
of Dalton Both are now dead Gen
Phillips having died about a year
and a half ago. General Phillips,
it is stated, nominated Joseph E.
Brown for governor of Georgia in
18ti0, and was his warm personal
and politcal friend. But in the
campaign of 1908 when Jos M.
Brown was a condidate for govern
or, Gen Phillips was found arrayed
on the side of Hoke Mnith.
In the case of Colone lTrammell,
who lias been dead for several years,
his son, Paul S Trammell and other
members of the family rendered
strong political service against Gov
ernor Brown and in favor of Hoke
Smith. For these reasons which
Mr. Brown states pointedly and
emphatically in a codicil to his will
made following the election in 1908
he revokes the bequests for monu
ments to General Phillips and Colo
nel Trammell. That is the only co
dicil to the will and the only change
made in it since the death of the
testator’s daughter in 1907.
J. A. Fausett, formerly of the
firm of Peacock & Fausett of this
place, goes to Sandersville the first
of November, where he will open a
hardware business for himself.

Smith and Brown
Factions Disagree
■ Macon, Ga., Sept. H). —Progres-
j sive Democrats and the OtKJY sort
mixed in a fight over tlu- naming of
,a new county Democratic executive
committee at the court house last
night and when the end came two
different meetings had named their
representatives and the county a
woke this morning with two com
mittees. • One represented the
Smith views in state polities and the
other represented the Brown fac
tion. Boland Ell is-was made chair
man of the regulars, as the meeting
proper was termed.
P II Gambrell, former chairman,
vacated the chairmanship of the old
eomiltee for Mr. Ellis, and he pre
sided over a rather stormy meeting
until the Smith faction, headed by
T S Felder, E L Martin; T E Byals
and others withdrew ana held a
meeting in the city court room,
where T E Byals was made chair
man of another committee and com
mitteemen were named. The latter
named committee will take the con
test up to the state committee, ac
cording to resolutions drawn. The
regulars went on and finished the
meeting by naming committee
members and will stick to the action.
C. W. Smith the Fa
mous Squirrel Hunter.
G \V Smith, J. P. Wimberly,
Monroe Bullard, Long Taylor, and
Jubie Reeves went squirrel hunting
at Ainslie Tuesday. The whole
‘ hunch” killed (ill squirrels. Out
of that number our “famous hun
ter,” C. W. Smith, killed 33, lie’s
hard to beat. He says he could
have killed 50 just as easy, but had
as many as he wanted to carry.
These other gentlemen are all
good hunters but it seems that Mr.
Smith has them all “skinned.”
Death of Julius
Bloodsworth

Mr. Bloodsworth was a young man
of sterling qualities and had many
friends.

Saturday. He-was taken sick on
Sunday and died the following
Thursday. He was buried at the
Bloodsworth grave-yard Friday.

Oldfield’s Sal
ary for Races
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 21. “Barney
Oidfield Secured for Atlanta Races
at Salary of Three Million Dollars
a Week.”
This truthful but misleading
headline appeared recently in an
Atlanta newspaper. As a matter of
fact Barney has been engaged at the
raa- of $3,084,48!) per week. Bit
of course he has not been engaged
fqr the whole —only for a shade ov
er 3") seconds, in fact.
Oldfield is coming to Atlanta with
his 200 horse power “BHtzen”
Benz under a verbal contract to
break the American speedway rec
ord of 35.(13 for a mile. If he does
it, he will get SSOO for turning the
trick. ' That will net him some
$14.28 a second. Rockefeller and
Cafnegie haven’t anything on that.
Oldfield has also entered his Knox
and will doubtless enter his Grand
Prize Benz for the Atlanta Speed
way meet. And Bun Cirscher has
struck in his venerable but speedy
Darracq. In addition three Staver
cars, two Black Crows and two Fal
ears have recently been entered and
there are now 21 machines formally
entered for the Atlanta meet of Xov.

at University of Chicago.

hobbling in hobble skirts over the
eapmus of Northwestern university
this fall, despite the fact that the
institution boasts the prettiest and
best dressed co-eds Lq the world.
The faculty, it was declared today,
has ordered itn edict against the
,‘cramped skirt,” and is prepared
for resistance from the ultra-fash
ionable young women students.
“Hobble skirts will he barred at
Northwestern, but not by my or
ders,” was the way Registrar David
H. Stephens put it when question
ed
Indeed, no one could be found who
would father this edict against the
hobble, but perhaps visions of ang
ry young women had something to
do with tliis backwardness.
“I have not heard of such an or
der,’’said Dean Thomas of the Ho!-
gate, “ but my ignorance need not
be surprising Why, J would not
know a hobble skirt if 1 met it face
to face”
“I Ir.ve heard of no formal or
der. but you can be sure no hobble
skirts will be seen on the North
western campus” said Miss Mary
Rose Potter, dean of women and in
charge of Willard hail, the home of
women students ija residence.
