Study Class Launched
By Central Junior Class
That an intense enthusiasm is
manifested in the Central Church
Junior B. Y. I’, U. work by the mem
bers of that organization is evi
denced by the fact that beginning
Monday afternoon promptly at b
o’clock and continuing for seven aft
ernoons, a class of study will be
’held in Central Baptist Church, di
rected by Miss Louise Herndon, who
is accomplishing such results in the
Junior work.
A book on the workings of Junior
B. Y. P. U. has been secured, these
copies being held in the library of
Central Baptist Church for the ben
efit of those desiring to take the
course, and each day lessons will be
assigned the young people for study
for the next -afternoon. This study
will demonstrate the methods for
conducting Junior B. Y. P. U. work,
showing the manner in which offi
cers of the organization should plan
and execute their services, together
with new and advanced ideas for
making the work attractive and ben
eficial as well.
Young people who desire this
course are requested to meet Miss
Herndon every afternoon at the
church at the hour named, when
she will begin a course of study.
At the conclusion of the- seven days,
a test will be submitted, and those

WANTS HIS MONEY BACK.
“I can thank Mr. O’Brien, a neigh

colic attacks and stomach trouble
that nearly forced me to cross the
river Jordan. I spent thousands of
dollars in the past nine years for
doctors and medicine and would have
died but for my neighbor’s advice to
use Mayr’s Wonerful Remedy. I
wish I had the money back I spent for
other medicine.” It is a simple, harm

HYDRO-ELECTRIC |
FOR MONTEZUMA
Plant Nearing Comple
tion —May Replace
Steam Outfit
MONTEZUMA, March 12.—Ed.
M. McKenzie is nearing the comple
tion of a hydro-electric plant up at
the old Harrison dam on Beaver
creek that is destined to mean much
to Montezuma. The plant, while
only a small unit, represents an ex
p.nditure of about $25,000, The
current generated will be transmit
ted to Montezuma and will perhaps
replace the steam plant now in use.
The pond which will be raised
will be a most beautiful body of
water extending about a mile. The
greater part of this pond will be
cleared on all debris making a body
of open water. It will doubtlesi
become a popular boating and bath
ing resort.
The power house was built this
week and is a white brick .structure.
The very latest improved machinery
is being installed and with the ex
ception of building the transmis
sion line to the city, the work is al
most completed.
A large artesian well flowing
thousands of gallons of what is con
sidered most palatable mineral wat
er, is also one of the attractions.
This well is perhaps the shallowest
well now flowing in the south, it be
ing only'* 65 feet deep. The depth of
the well here in the center of town
is nearly 400* feet!
The putting into active service of
the McKenzie power plant will be
most heartily welcomed while the
pond is destined to become one of
our most attractive resorts.
An ice plant will also probably be
installed to ’be operated by this
power.
Richland Sign Painter
Joins Carnival Troupe
RICHLAND, March 12.—8. E.
Abelle, one of Richland’s citizens
joined the Washburn-Weaver shows
here last week and started on the
road with the aggregation this
week. He will be a member of the
Siscoe band and will also do the
sign painting on the rear of the
large round and ferris wheel.
Cuban Liberals Quit
Seats In Congress
HAVANA, March 13.—The Lib
eral members of the Cuban house
of representatives will refuse to at
tend further meetings of the con
gross and will not discharge the du
ties of their office, according to de
cision reached by-the executive com
mittee of the party here last night,
ing youngsters. There is no
“chorus” in “Experience,” but every
one- of the forty-eight female parts
is played by a girl of youth, beauty
and talen that would win a place in
the front row of any Broadway ex
position of feminine pulchritude. In
fact, most of them have graduated
from F. Ray Comstock’s pretty lit
tle Princes theatre or Morris Gest’s
gorgeous Century Grove.
Nobody who has not seen “Ex
perience” should miss seeing it and
those who have will be glad of this
opportunity to revive pleasant mem
ories and refresh in their minds the
wonderful lessons this play teaches
through spectacular and dramatic
scenes and vivid characters.
“Experience” will come to the
Rylander Wednesday of this week.
STRAUSS PLANS
GIFT TO STATE
To Establish Laborato
ries To Minimize Cat
tle Tuberculosis
AUGUSTA, March 12.—A large
number of prominent citizens this
week tendered at Carmichael’s Club
a barbecue complimentary to Oscar
Strauss and Nathan Strauss, New
York philanthropists, who are at
present in Augusta.
The barbecue was presided over
by C. Henry Cohen as toastmaster,
and speeches wpre made by Mr, Co
hen, W. M. Howard and A. L. Frank
lin—all sounding high tributes to
the humanitarian, philanthropists
and statesmen —the two brothers,
the formative and inspirational pari
of whose lives were ‘ passed on the
red hills of Georgia.
Responses were made by Oscar
Strauss and Nathan Strauss, the lat
ter concluded his speech by stating
that it was his intention to have
passed by iht legislature of Georgia
a. bill authorizing him to establish
in this state, with head quarters at
Augusta, laboratories for the pur
pose of minimizing tuberculosis
among cattle, which would, in his
judgment reduce the death rate
among children more than any other
work that had ever been started.
This will be done without cost to
the state of Georgia, but simply as
a donation on his part to his native
state. This met with tremendous
applause.
