meeting to be held here at an early
uate ror the holding of a "dia

executive committee of that body,
composed of Mayor Walter A.
Sims, Mell R. Wilkinson, president

the matter at the meeting, a date
tor which has not yet been sei.
A resolution calling for the “dia
mond juibilee” was introduced at
the last regular meeting of the
Presidents’ club and was adopted
without a dissenting vote. Emmett
L. Qumn, president of the Atlanta
Federation of Trade was the au
thor of the measure.
As outlined by Mr. Quinn the |
jubilee would be held October 1-13
next, in connection with the fair
and would be of such scope as to
arouse national recognition.
The executive committee of the
Presidents’ club will have authori
ty to name sub-ordinate commit
tees in sufficient numbers to work
out the details of the project.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
ATTACK ON MOTOR CAR
BRUNSKICK, June 19,—My
stery still surrounds the murderous
attack on an automobile party
early Thursday night in Camden
county, near White Oak, when
a load of buckshot was fired into
their machine as it was proceeding
along a lonely road in the swamps.
It is stated that without warn- |
ing, the would-be assassins fired |
into the car with the evident pur- i
pose of wreaking vengeance on
the occupants, one of whom is
said to have been the manager of
a garage at White Oak. The iden
tity of the four men in the ma
chine has been carefully withheld
by the authorities for a purpose,
as it is stated that they would be
handicapped by the divulgence of
their names.
