DM RECITAL THIRD
SUNDAY IN AUGUST
There seems to have been some mis
understanding as to the organ recital
which is to be given when the new org
an at the Lee street church has been
installed.
This recital will be given on the
third Sunday in August, or later, since
it is to be given by members of the
faculty of Wesleyan college and the
date depends on their return from their
vacation. The organ will be ready for
use, however, next Sunday.
Services will be held in the Lee
street church as usual today.
BEV. GEORGE ACRE IS
GIVEN TRIP TO SPRINGS
Rev. George M. Acree was very much
gratified yesterday upon being pre -
sented by an admiring friend with a
two weeks’ trip, for himself and fam
ily to Indian Spring, with all expenses
paid. His board of stewards, at their
next meeting will grant him the de
sired vacation. This is a very fitting
expression o| the esteem in which Mr.
Acree is held on account of his un
tiring and successful work in the new
Lee street church. He is not only grat
ified, but his congregation is highly

CARRYING ECONOMY TO
ABSURD LENGTH IN ATLANTA
ATLANTA,<Ja., July 14.—That econ
omy can be carried to such an absurd
and extreme length that it ceases to
be economy and becomes the rankest
waste, was strikingly demonstrated
yesterday in the house of representa
tives when that body spent an hour de
bating whether or not to expend the
studendous sum of S4O.
The average length of a day’s session
of the house is three hours, or less. The
cost of a day's session of the house is
about SI,OOO. On this basis an hour’s
debate costs the state from $350 to
SSOO. Consequently it cost the state of
Georgia form eight to twelve times
forty dollars to decide whether or not
to spend forty dollars.
And the purpose for which the money
was to be expended was an inspection
by a joint committee of two from the
house and one from the senate of the
stations at Valdosta and Thomasville,
where cotton is being raised under boll
weevil conditions.
This is probably the most important
single experiment ever made in the
state of Georgia inasmuch as the
whole future of the cotton growing in
dustry depends on the success with
which the ravages of the boll weevil
can he combatted.
After deciding to send the committee
to make the inspection the house took
a recess until Monday.
.WITRRY OF H ARTWELL
VICTIM OF ACCIDENT
ATLANTA, Ga„ July 14.—Members
of the legislature have become aroused
to the dangers of reckless running of
automobiles as a result of the acci
dent to Senator A. A. McCurry, of
Hartwell, who is at the point of death
it a hospital here, with concussion of
the brain.
On last Wednesday night he ran'
across the street to catch a car in
front of his boarding house, and pass |
ing automobile knocked him down, his
head striking the pavement and pro-|
ducing concussion of the brain, from.
which recovery is extremely doubtful. |
The accident has started a discussion .
among members of the legislature
along the line of more stringent laws J
to regulate the running of automobiles
on the streets and highways of the'
state. Already the state motor vehi
cle law prohibits reckless running of
motor vehicles, and the city of Atlanta,
like all other cities, has elaborate
rules and regulations on the subject.
That the state law as well as the
municipal regulations are both con
stantly violated and disregarded, is
shown by the fact that hardly a week
goes by in Atlanta without a fatal ac
cident.
MONSTER PEAPOD SHOWN
BY AMERICUS GARDNER
i
' A peapod 28 inches in length was
brought to the Times-Recorder office
yesterday by J. R. Culpepper of this
city, who took the specimen from his
own garden. The “yard-pea” as it is
called, is very palatable, being used in .
the same manner as the ordinary gard -|
en peas. The vine attains a length of (
20 feet in many cases and is valuable'
for forage.
