nings Bryan resigned as secretary of
state.
There are no new’ deevlopments or
announcements concerning the action

breathlessly awaits some new turn in
the situation which it is believ.ed is im
minent.
Entered Cabinet in 1913.
Lindley Miller Garrison entered the
cabinet of President Woodrow Wilson

Mr. Harrison was born in Camden,

lawyer and attended the public schools
of Philadelphia, Phillips’ Academy, at
Exeter, N. H., and for one year was a

He studied law in the offices of Red

in 1886. He was later admitted to the
New Jersey bar in 1888, and practic
ed with partners at Camden, N. J., his
birthplace, until December, 1898.
From 1899 to 1904 he was with the
law firm of Garrison, McManus & En

ptart something in opposition to his
professional alliance .
Tarranco is a flutist in the Ansley
orchestra, an organization directed by
Von Lawrenz. News of the agitation
over Mme. Van De Zande has set him
worrying. The Von Lawrenz staff
was, in its entirety, none too composed
Wednesday.
A letter from Mr. Cornway, in Cor
nelia, explains the attitude of many
natives of allied countries over her
connection with the German.
“I will not use the advertising ma
terial,” it reads, ‘‘with the name of
V. Lawrenz on it. This is no reflec
tion on Mr. von Lawrenz, but ‘vons’ are
not popular here, and I would not care
to associate with a ‘von’.”
Mme. Van De Zande stated to a re
porter for The Constitution last night
that she had nothing to deny about
th.s story published in Wednesday s
Constitution, but all that she asked
was that publicity regarding her
cease.
“I am seeking to sever my connec
tion with Mr. von Lawrenz,” she sail.
“If I can do this, in face of rr.y contract
I will be pleased to do so, and bring an
end to a disagreeable matter.”

BUILOING IN SHAPE
J. W. L. Daniel, the well known
broker, now situated on College street,
has been very busy for the past two
months having the building he is now
occupying put in necessary shape t o
meet the demands of his business.
Besides his general brokerage busi
ness, Mr. Daniel is putting his ma
chinery in place for the operation of
his 'bottling works, having installed
quarters in the second story of his
building for this purpose.
A large cellar the entire width and
length of the building has been fitted
up for storage purposes. He will prob
ably store bananas and other fruit ia
this cellar.
Having more room than is necessary
for his general brokerage business,
Mr. Daniel is seriously considering the
putting in of a corn mill, a grist mill,
and a mill for the grinding of stock
food, also, perhaps, a flour mill. His
plans for the mills, however, have not
been perfectly planned out, but in the
event he does decide to put them in
operation, the mills will be of such
capacity as to be sufficient to take care
of the trade in Americus and surround
ing neighborhood.
Mr. Daniel's warehouse is situated
on College street, right on the Sea
board Air Line railroad, and be has
besides his warehouse ample buildings
on his premises to store all the corn
and other grain needed to supply the
mills that it is likely be may put in
operation.

The famous musical comedy “Hen
pecked Henry.” is described by an en
thusiastic reviewer as a “perpetual
succession of side-splitting scenes pil
ed one on the other with such speed
and gusto thatt he giggles are doing
the continuous.” The producing mana
gers make the claim that it is the fun
niest show in the world. In many
towns the laughter has been so loud
and continued that attaches of the
theatre have been compelled to cau
tion the laughers against so much
