The State Camp of the Patriotic Order Song of America met at Odd Fellows Hall Wednesday and was In session the greater-part of the day. Reports were presented showing that the order Is making excellent progress In Georgia. Inculcating principles of the purest patriotism, providing for the material welfare of its members, with a beautiful and Instructive ritual, the order is mak ing rapid headway throughout the country and promises to become one of the great fraternal organizations of the United States. Americus Camp has now about 130 members, is the largest In the State and embraces In its membership some of the finest material of the city. Two other Camps will probab ly soon be organized In Sumter coun ty, and the meeting of the State Camp will probably give a decided stimulus to the- order hereabouts. State President B.^ F. Brlmberry, of Albany, presided at the sessions of the State Camp, with the follow ing other officers In the various chairs: State Secretary, P. L. Mathis. State Treasurer, S. E. Huglns. State Trustee, C. E. Chambliss. W. D. BAILEY, OutfitterTor Men and Boys.

The next meeting of the State Camp will be at Albany In April of next year. Last night a banqugt was served the members of the Americus Camp and the visiting delegates, at the City Hall, and proved a very pleasing conclusion to the day’s work. Supt O. J. Kern ,who is superin tendent of the Winnebago County schools In the state of Illinois, was In the city Wednesday; Supt. Kern Is author of “Among Country Schools,’ a book largely In use throughout the country as a text on agriculture. Supt. Kern Is la the South investi gating agricultural and mechanical schools, and the general conditions of agricultural education In the South. He comes as a committee of one, sent out by the National Teacher’s Asso ciation. This association has been able to place large sums of money fpr educational purposes at the South. There Is a close association oi this body and “The General Edu cational Board,” a board Hist has many Bi llions at Its command, to be used for the betterment of educational conditions throughout the • United States. , Supt. Ker.i came fiom Alabama to Americus, to visit lie Third District Agricultural and Mechanical Schiul. From Americus he goes to the State School of Agriculture at Athens. He had not decided whether he would visit other agricultural schools. In the State, yet It Is possible, that he will visit Monroe in the Fifth, which Is near Atlanta. Mr. Kern said: “I came here first aa It is 1 my Information that Ameri cus has the best school In the State.” He took a lot of data that will be Issued In a report later. This report A most Interesting gathering of rep resentative citizens heard the address by Mr. John A. Betjeman at the City Hall Monday night. The subject was “How to Build Upa Ttfwn.” His talk was In the highest degree a practical one, giving as he did the benefits of his ripe experience in many cities, West and South. Many of the points treated by Mr. Betjeman were especially appropriate as shedding light on some of the prob lems which have been before the leaders of the organization for solu tion. To get the benefits of experien ces elsewhere to guide the local board was especially fortunate. Probably no radh in Georgia has had so varied an experience as Mr. Betjeman on the subject under discussion and be gave freely of his fund of knowledge for the benefit of his hearers. His presentation of his theme was plain, yet forceful, and the citizens of Americus Interested In the upbuilding of the city were fortunate In having the opportunity to hear Mr. Betjeman last night In introducing his talk, Mr. Betje man laid emphasis on competition as bringing out the best there was in a town. The competition between com munities was declared to be as groat today as between the wholesale hous es handling the same commodities In a given territory. This forces each community to a consideration of how best to develop the community as a whole. Business men must pull together, said the speaker, and no medium is so readily available as a Board of Trade, well managed. The organiza tion becomes the principal factor In lsfued in a report uu«r. uuu uuuumca me will be Illustrated with a number of pictures that-will be furnished Supt. Collum. Mr. Kern made a thorough examl nation of everything being done at the school. He did not confine his visit alone to the' buildings, but visit ed the farm, the dairy ,the poultry yards and other places about the school. . "Supt. Kern was favorably Impress ed with all he Baw at the school. He saw all lines of the Bhop work in operation. In speaking of the shop work he said: "The Ws were mak D. The Railroad Commission will re sume tomorrow the hearing In the case of the Seaboard’s "shoofly train and the proposed annulment of that schedule west of Americus. efr between this city nnd Columbus. The railroad company made the plea at the former'hearing ten days ago, that the volume of travel between Ameri cas and Columbus was so very small as to rendor the operation of the train unprofitable, In fact, that the schedule was now maintained at a dead loss to the company. For the purpose of getting accurate informa tion upon this point, tab has been kept for ten days post on the passengers using this train, a man thus employ ed going out with It dally from.Am ericus and returning here from Col umbus at 5:10 p. m. It is said that the record fully justifies the plea of the railroad company, and tho figures will be submitted to the Railroad Commission tomorrow. VETERANS TO ATTEND EXERCISES ON SUNDAY Society.
