Royal Ambassadors
Picnic at Gum Swamp
One of the most delightful affairs
of the season, was the picnic that
the members of the Royal Ambassa
dors entertained on Thursday June
lt>. The jolly party left town at
an early hour hound for Oak Grove
on the hanks of Gum Swamp creek,
an ideal spot for a picnic. Mrs. M.
B. Perry leader of the It. AT. and
Miss Ada Brown acted as < haperones
A regular old fashioned good time
prevailed throughout the
the time the first ones were seated,
in the wagon until the last one Lind
en in home. And the dinner, well
words cannot do it justice but —we
tried to at the time. Everything
that the appetite could call for with
plenty of lemon-ade and ice-water.
The day was spent in feasting,
fishing and frolicking.
The Royal Ambassadors, on this
occasion proved themselves ideal
hosts, sparing neither time, nor
money to add to the pleasure of the
girls who were fortunate enough to
be their guests, showing that they
are a band of model boys united
heart and hand.
At twilight those who were quiet
ly reading on their porches heard
the gay songs and laughter of youth
and knew the party had returned.
No one needed to he told that it
had been a grand day, for actions
speak plainer than words.
The boys said it is good to belong;
to the R. A’s, and the girls yelled |
Jong live the R. A's, Jiere’r hoping j
for another picnic tomorrow.

Exemption Clause
Not Liked by Wilson
Washington, June 28. —President
Wilson today signed the sundry
civil appropriation hill, with a
statement declaring that lie would
have vetoed, if he could, the pro
vision in it exempting labor unions
and farmers’ organizations from
prosecution under a certain S3OO,
000 fund designated for operation
of the Sherman anti-trust law.
The president characterized the
exemption as “unjustifiable in char
acter and principle,” hut called at
tention to the fact that the depart
ment of justice possessed other
funds with which to enforce the
anti trust law.
The urgent need of various gov
ernment departments for funds ap
propriated by the bill influenced
the president to speedy action on
the measure. The bill carried
$1 1fi,000,000 in appropriations and
was vetoed l.y Mr. Taft March 1,
because of the labor exemption
clause. When the hill was reintro
duced and passed by both houses in
identical form by the present con
gress, this provision was the subject
of sharp debate.

Dan G. Hughes May
Get fhe Position
Is Spoken of As the Probable
Assistant Commissioner
of Agriculture
1 hat Dan G. Hughes, of Twiggs
county, has been practically chosen
by J ames Price, incoming commis
sioner of agriculture, as as.-istant
commissioner, ivas the news brought
to Macon yesterday by an Atlantan,
who is generally looked upon as
close to the political workings of the
capital as anybody in the state.
That Mr. Hughes is believed to
have been selected will he encoura
ging news to the people of Macon
and all middle Georgia, for a num
ber of influential people in this sec
tion of the state have been working
quietly hut actively and effectively
in his behalf for some time.
Mr. Hughes bears the reputation
of being one of the best posted
young men in Georgia, agricul
turally. He is a son of Congress
man Dudley M. Hughes, known in
Georgia and Washington alike as
the “Farmer Statesman,” Both
of the Hughes, father and son, have
been successful farmers of the high
est, practical as well as theoretical,
type and Twiggs county’s present
demonstration of high class farming
is in no small degree due to their
■•fforts.
Dan G. Hughes is personally ex
tremely popular not alone in his
home county but also in Macon and
everywhere in the state where lie is
known.
The news of this probable ap
pointment will be greeted with
pleasure by practical farmers and
business men in no small number.
Modern Woodmen
Organize in Cochran
A camp of the Modern Woodmen
of America will he organized in
Cochran, Wednesday night, July
2nd, in 'the Masonic Hall. They
have thirty applicants. Twenty
five of these have stood the medical
examination and will come in as
charter members.
We think this is a good order, it
carries a fraternal insurance feature
which is very much cheaper than
old line and judging from vital sta
tistics it seems they are charging
enough to make they plan a safe
proposition.
