First Harbinger of Co-operative Sale
| Appears on City’s Streets
Mr. T. H. Pigue popular, ex-em

and Atlantic railway, appeared on
Fitzgerald streets this afternoon as

giant Uncle Sam, nearly twelve feet
tall. %
Mr. Pigue is an expert stilt-walker
and wore four feet of stilts and two
feet of stove-pipe hat in addition to
his natr--al six feet six inches of
obne and meat. His gaudy patr’
attire and giant stature was soon
paid tribute by a parade of small
boys who followed him eagerly
‘wherever he went. {
Mr, Pigue will stilt-walk for sev- |
eral local business houses as an
entertainment feature for the co-op
erative sale next wegk.
NO LONGER OLD AT THIRTY
Women Have Proved Conclusively
That Age Is Not at All a
Matter of Years.
Perhaps women who are not at all
sensitive about their age are still in
a minority. But their number is grow
ing. In almost any gathering where
women chatter pleasantly and with
some intimacy about things which in
terest them you find at least one
woman who cheerfully admits that
she is not thirty-five, but forty-five,
or that it Is a very long time since
she was thirty.
One of the traglic conventions which
have helped to wreck women’s lives
is this stupld tradition that at any
given age a woman gets old. Years
ago most women celebrated their
thirtieth birthdays with a sense of de
pression. With greater common
sense, women at least began to see
that even after thirty they might en
joy life, and that the games and
amusements and joys which are pos
sible at twenty are no less possible
at forty,
Today there lingers this anclent su
perstition that if you have reached a
certaln age you must not admit the
fact. But it will not endure long.
Now that we hear of a woman of
ninety playing really capable golf, of
womén past fifty banding themselves
together In cheery fashion as golfing
veterans, of women of every and any
age enjoying life, it will become un
fashionable to conceal one's age.—

London Mail,
SURVIVED STORM AT SAMOA
Major General Lejeune One of the
American Sailors Who Came
Safely Through Hurricane,
Secretary Edwin Denby of the navy
is a fan on the history of that branch
of the service and never misses an
opportunity to expatiate on Its glories,
He was speaking at a Navy league
dinner not long ago and vividly de
scribed the events as they occurred
when, in 1889, a hurricane caught
three of our ships, three German ships
and one flying the British flag in the
harbor at Apia, Samoa, and sank them
all except' the Britisher, which man
aged to get to sea.
He told how the American ships
were battered to pieces on the rocks,
how the Vandalia sank and her
crew rode out the storm in the rig
ging which still protruded from the
water,
Three seats down the table from
Mr. Denby sat Major General John
A. Lejcune, commandant of marines.
The secretary of tpe navy did not
know. at the time that Gen. Lejeune,
then a naval cadet, was one of the
lads who hung on to the rigging of
the Vandalia through the d'uratlon of
the storm.
The Spring Straw’ Hat.
All winter long man wears a hat

friendly, slouchy, well-worn sort of
thing that he can pull down over his
ears when the wind blows or throw in

Just the sort of clothing a man ought
to wear, not tyrannical but compan
fonable, And then along-comes spring.
In the spring, say the poets, the spirit
of man breéaks its ‘bonds. A fellow,
feels restless and indomitable, fit for
anything and free as the wind. He
brooks no restraint, not he. He looks
upon his good old cap or hat and de
cides he ought to buy another. And
he does. He goes and gets himself
a straw hat—a stiff, uncomfortable,
unreliable sort of thing that is faith.
less to every passing breeze. A man
can't roll it up and put it in his
pocket, he can’t throw it into the air,
he can't pull it down over his ears,
he can't do anything with it except
wear it daintily and carefully, until
the time comes to smash it in the
autumn and go back to the old cloth
hat. And that's the best proof of the
madness of spring—not love, not
blooming flowers, but the new straw
hat that leaves a red mark on a fel

Dorsey Praised For
.
Race Justice Stand
ATLANTA, May 20 —Praise and‘
support for the position taken by
Governor Dorsey in work against
alleged oppression of negroes in sev
eral parts of Georgia was expressed
by the executive committee of the
Christian Council of Atlanta, at a
meting just held here, The formal
statement was signed by a score or
more of leading ministers and lay
men in Atlanta,
“The truth of the picture which he
has presented in his published pam
phlet has been challenged,” says the
statement. “After a most careful ex.
amination by members of our com
mittee ,of the testimony supporting
these cases, and many others not
published, we are convinced that the
deplorable condition which he de
scribed is not the l€ast exaggerated.”
The committee further points to
the fact that 415 lynchings of ne
groes have occurred in Georgia since
1885 and not one member of these
mobs has been punished.
“The world already kpows this
record and the additional facts of
the burning of negro churches and
lodges and of the expulsion of ne
groes from entire counties and neigh
borhoods,” declares the committee,
The committee says that the really
new revelation now being made to
the world is that a governor of Geor
gia, backed by reputable and repre
sentative citizens from all over the
State, is willing to publicly condemn
these acts, and call upon the right
eous law abiding citizenship of the
State, which is an overwhelming ma
jority to put an end to such lavxlcss—
ness.

Henry Grady’s Birth
To Be Commemorate
ATLANTA, May 20—The 24th
of May—which is Tuesday of next
week—will be the seventy-first birth
day of the noted Atlanta editer, or
ator and peacemaker, Henry V.
Grady. A celebration will be held
in Atlanta on that occasion which
will be the most notable since Mr.
Grady died in 1889 at the age of 39
years, as a distinguished American
editor said, “The greatest orator in
all the world”. The State of Massa
chusetts and the city of Boston, in
‘which Mr. Grady made his immor
tal speech beseeching unity between
the North and South but a few days
before he was called by death will
be represented at the celebration,
Robert Lincoln O’Brien, editor of
the Boston Herald, has been named
to .represent Massachusetts,
“It would be a fitting thing if ev
ery section of the Union appropri
ately observe the birthday of this
great man”, said a well known south
ern editor, “We hear in the land
today discordant notes. Now and
then we hear of the efforts of men
actuated by sinistr motives who de
sire once more to revive the old
feelings of sectionalism which Pres
ident McKinley declared were dead
forever.”

Building Boom Seen
In Atlanta Contracts
e
ATLANTA, May 20.—The sus-i
tained upward trend of the South’s
construction activities is well attest-}
ed by reports to local coptractors of
contracts awarded and enterprises
projected so far this month. These
represent an aggregate outlay of
twenty-five million dollars and em
brace all types of buildings from
domiciles to industrial plants.
Highway and street construction
figures large'y in the range of work
undertaken or defipitely planned to
tal several millions of dollars,
These figures, according to busi
ness men here, appear the more sig
nificant and cheering when com
pared with the outlook of four or
five months ago, The old year, as
they point out, closed graly and the
new opened with but fitful gleams,
In early January few save the most
sanguine, say contractors here, would
have predicted that May’s building
record for the South would begin at
the rate of twenty-five million dol
lars a week, Not suddenly has this
substantial sum been reached but by
a series of steady gains,
“Naturally construction activities
would quicken with the advent of
spring, but in this c¢ase it is note
worthy that the new life-beat be
came manifest as far back as Feb
ruary,” said a prominent contractor.
“For months conditions have been
improving, so that the present growth
is well rooted and therefore the more
promising.”
