VICE PRESIDENT MARSH
ALL HAVING GOOG TIME
Atlanta, May 27.—Thomas Riley
Marshall, vice president of the United
States, is a good deal busier man in
Atlanta than he has ever been in
Washington, The educational ad
dress which he delivered last night iu
the Atlanta theatre before a packed
I house, was only an incident of his vis
it. £
They played a sort of unintentional
joke on the vice president. Three sep
arate and distinct reception and en
tertainment committees were appoint
ed to take care of him, one from the
I . Chamber of Commerce, one from the
! Indiana Society of Atlanta and one
| from a local college, with the result
I that not even Theodore Roosevelt when
I he came here as president, was more
received and more entertained than
Marshall.
Each one of the reception commit
,‘ees planned a series of stunts, lunch
eons, auto rides and other gentle am
usements for Mr. and Mrs. Marshall,
so they have been kept going ever
i since they stepped off the train.
The vice president’s well known
luAnor, however, is saving the situa
tion, and he seems to be having a
grand good time.

N. C-. May 27.—The United
, Staßs Government Studerfc 1 ’ Military
rnswuction Camp, which is
at Ashvilie July Gth to August 7tfr, is!
experted to draw a large number of I
young men to Ashvilie this summer to
taka advantage cf this exceptional op
, portunity to get a month’s vacation in
. the mountains of North Carolina with
- the added advantage of practical mil
-1 itary instruction under U. S. army
- officers.
Only three of these camps are to be
- established and Asheville -was chosen
J on account of its cool and healthy
7 climate and excellent transportation
* facilities. The camp site is on a spu"
of Sunset mountain, closely adjacent
J to the Grove Park Inn at the terminus
of a street car line giving frequent
service to all other hotels. Ashvilie
* people are much interested in the suc
-1 cess of the camp and intend to do ez
■ erything possible to make the stay of
- the student soldiers as pleasant as
1 possible as well as instructive. The
1 city has contributed city water cou
t nections and electric lights to the
* camp and both the Greater Western
' j North Carolina Association and the
'■ i Ashvilie Board of Trade are lending
every assistance and will furnish any
information desired.
1 The camp will be in charge of U. S.
army officers who will conduct all
1 drills and instruction work and will
: give their personal attention at all
times. The government will furnish
1 tents, bedding, cooking utensils, and
1 necessary equipment and all meals
will be prepared by army cooks under
the supervision of officers. For the
purpose of explaining the advantages
of the camp to students in Southern
* colleges and universities, Col. Sandford
I H. Cohen, manager of the Greater
Wetsern North Carolina Association,
is now making a tour of the leading
institutions, making addresses to stud
ents at each.
ATLOT IN GRIPS
OF MAD DOG CRAZE
Atlanta, May 27.—The annua! mad
dog* craze has started in Atlanta, and
Patrolman Barfield of the city force,
with smoking revolver yesterday In
one short hour during the heated pa. t
of the day killed six dogs which were
mad—or which were merely suffering
for a drink of water.
The first two victims were at 175
Fraser street. Nobody had been bit
ten, but some children had been fright
ened. There'were two dogs in a back
yard. One was assumed to' be mad,
and was killed. The other was killed
because it might have been bitten by
the one that was supposed to be mad.
The policeman could hardly be held
to blame individually, however, as he
only did the behest of frightened
1 neighborhood people, and in some
cases the owners of the dogs.
The doctors say that not one dog
out cf ten which is killed as a suppos
ed “mad dog’’ really has any symo
-1 toms of rabies at all.
