CADETS IN SHAM TIGHT
WEDNESDAY ON GAMPUS
Rifles Will Merrily Ring in
Conflict.
Battallion of Cadets at
Agricultural College
Have Sham Battle
T o-morrow.
An event of unusual interest this
week will be the sham battle between
the two companies of cadets of the
Agricultural College on Wednesday
afternoon from 4 to 5 o’clock. The
“battle” will rage on the college cam
pus, all the cadets of both companies
taking part.
The cadets have been in practice for
some time and it is expected that the
occasion will furnish much entertain
ment for visitors, who are cordially
invited to be present.
During the maneuvers on the field,
Capt. H. W. Rainey of Company B
will be in command of the entire bat
talion.
The enemy will be entrenched just
over the hill south of the drill grounds
and will be supported by a masked
'battery. While the enemy will not be
in the open, all the maneuvers and
movements of the cadets will be on
the field and in plain view.
The military feature in the school
is not compulsory, yet a large num
ber of the boys belong to the organi
zation. By the opening of the next
school year it is the purpose of the
management to require all students
to wear a uniform and to.drill.
Term Drawing to a ('lose.
One week more and the fall term of
the Agricultural and Mechanical
School will have come to an end—the
■ most successful term in its exisetenee.
I Every room in the dormitory lias been
I occupied and students had to lie turn
! eil away. With a new home for gills
I that will open January 1, more boys
I 'ijf'ilui7e -ait4s-~daff bt\admitted.
■KVnil tlie places are already being
for. From one to three appH:
cations have been received every day
during the past week. As it now
looks every., place in the dormitories
will have biXtv.taken by the opening
of the holidays. • e
The scKobTKSSTong
experimental stage and is now thor
oughly and permanently established
in all ks departments. The great
question that now. confronts the man
agement and the friends of the school,
is to tie a tile to meet the growing de
mand on the part of the people for
places for their boys and girls in
the school.
This school is in no sense local in
its scope. There are now on the ro’ls
of the school students from four
states, five congressional districts
and twenty-eight counties.
College Veil Is Adopted.
The boys have adopted colors for
the school, black and white, and have
also adopted a school yell, and now on
all occasions of special interest to the
school the college yell will be heard.
The yell runs this way:
Yell No. 1 (after first stanza.)
“Who are we? Who are we?
Let me see! Let me see! District 3!
Aggy boys! Aggy Boys! A. M. C.!
Make it three! Aggy! Aggy! Aggy!”
Yell No. 2 (af.er second stanza).
“Black and white, Say it right! say it
right!
Black and white! Black and white!
Makes it right!
Day or night! One! Two! Three
Aggy boys! Aggv boys! A. M. C.”
Another lot of Diamond Rings just

reached their highest last year at 30

THIRD VICiiM DIES IN
SAVANNAH HOSPITAL
Without Being Able to Tell
Name of Assailant.
i Special to Times-Recorder.i
Savannah, On.. Dec. 13.—Mrs. Mag
gie Hunter, who was beaten and left
for dead at the same time Mrs. Eliza
Qribble and daughter, .Mrs. Carrie
Ohlander, were murdered at their
home here Friday afternoon, died of
her injuries at 10 o'clock thi3 morn
ing. Although she had regained con
sciousness several times since the
tragedy, the woman never had been
able to give a coherent story of the
crime.
Savannah, Dec. 13.—Battled at every
turn tlie police were unable last night
to claim anw considerable progress
in solving the mystery of the Gribble-
Ohiander murders, though every pos
sible clue has been relentlessly fol
lowed to a logical conclusion
The case is strangely lacking In clues
that appear material. Second only to
the almost unbelievable fact that the
crime was committed without anyone
heating the sound of struggle or out
cry, is that the murderer escaped from
the house without leaving an incrim
inating sign or mark that would throw
light on the sequence of the murders
and the attack on Mrs. Hunter.

BILLS IN WAITIN6 FOR
SESSION OF SOIONS
Many Measures of Import
ance Wait.
j The Convening of Next
Session of the Legisla
ture in the Good
Old Summer Time
Atlanta. Dec. 13.—Calendars of the
unfinished business of the House and
Senate, Georgia Legislature which
have been furnished to the members
by Clerk Botfeuillet and Scretary C. 3.
Northen, indicate in a measure what
legislation stands the best chance of
getting through at,the next session.
One of the most interesting matters
upon which the General .Assembly will
have to act, is the question of ratifi
cation of the proposed amendment to
the constitution of the United States
authorizing Congress to levy a tax
upon incomes.
There are several important meas
ures which pas&d either one or the
other of the Houses and are now
pending for final passage.
There is the game protection bill,
which had little trouble in getting
through the Senate, but which is
meeting ail sorts of opposition from
certain members of the House. It was
tabled in the House when 1t came up
for passage.
Among the bills which passed the
House and are pending in the Senate
is one “to fix the salaries of the
judges of the Court of Appeals."
Curiousi enough, this bill, as '( i
passed the House, fixes th* „»« >s c.f
the appellate judges at - -is.-;, the j
amount they are now recet. L,. *4.000 I
a year.
It will be interesting to watch the
progress of this bill in view of the
well-known opposition In the House to
salary increases in the present state
of the treasury.
if the Court of Appeals judges'
should get increases, it will, of course,
ie up to the legislature to increase
the salaries of the jusitces of the Su
preme (,'ouri by an equal amount. T?ie
judges of both courts are now paid
tho same saleries.
Other important general bills which
lave passed the House and are pend
ing for action in the Senate include
dr. McMichael’s bill to require that
ill cotton seed meal shall be branded
according to grade.
There is also the bill of Mr. McMu
rnn of Clarke, appropriating $200,000
to pay additional pensions to veterans
nf the Civil War under the service
pension amendment to the state con
stitution.
Strong effort was made to get the
latter measure through at the last
session, but owing to the depleted con
dition of the treasury, the Appropria
tions Committee of the Senate held it
back until it was too late to get it
hrough. Should it be enacted, this
bill will run Georgia's annual pension
budget up to $1,150,000.
Other bills which have passed the
Senate and are awaiting action by the
House include Senator McWllliam’s
measure to allow county boards of
education to borrow money to pay
:he salaries of public school teachers
when they are due.
MISSES HARROLD TO RESIDE
WITH BROTHER IN MACON.
The very large number of friends
of Misses Anna and Elizabeth Harrold
will regret their determination of
making their residence in Macon
shortly with their brother, Mr. William
Harrold, though It has been known
that this step was contemplated since
their return from abroad a .month ago.
At present they are visiling their
brothers, Messrs. William and Charles
Harrold, and their sister, Mrs. Stephen
S. Shipps, in Macon. With Mr. Wil
liam Harrold they will occupy a de
sirable residence on College street,
and will be a charming addition to so
cial circles there.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 13.—The j
first week of the new session of con
gress was a busy one for the members '
of the Georgia delegation. Beginning ;
with the work of the session Monday j
at noon, the President’s message so!- !
lowed on Tuesadv and Wednesday and j
Thursday were given to attendance;
upon the rivers and harbors congress.
Today the house and senate were
j practically doing nothing.
During this week a good line may
be drawn upon what is likely to De
done by the different members of the
delegation after the holidays are over,
at which time the real work or the
! year begins.
While, therefore, the week just end
ed has brought out little, if anything,
lof value In a legislative way, the
members of the house and senate have
perhaps done quite as well by giving
their attention to the work of the
Southern Commercial Congress and
the rivers and harbors congress, and
to laying the plans for an active cam-}
paign after they return to Washington I
early in January.
