SWATS FROM G, M. COLLEGE
DRILL GROUND AND DIAMOND

Iripto Washington.
It seems to be assured that the cadet
battalion will go on to Washington and
participate in the inaugural parade on
March 4th., next. Every day brines
freah confirmation that every detail of
the plan will be carried ont to the letter,
There may have been Home misgivings
when the scheme was first boarded. It
seemed too audacious for realization.
But doubt has given place to certainty,
bone that hwdty dared indulgence to
positive assurance. As far as at firca-
Preident Reynolds. "If this diamond
were sodded, you could get any club in
the East to'come here for the spring
try out. It is one of the best infields I
have seen in South. And the outfield
is equally as good- with just a little
work on It." Mr. Wolverton, the man-
sition. Not the G. M. -C. alone, but <«er of the Newarks, who was present,
every like school in Georgia is to be * enthusiastically endorsed Mr. Stalling’s
signally honored. Not Milledgeville
only, but the "Imperial State of Geor
gia” (to l.orrow a Taft phrase,) is to
be advertised to advantageona great
national occasion. The undertaking has
assumed stupendous proportions.
Friend Edwards planned more largely
than he himself was aware, when he
first begun to harbor the thought of tak
ing G. M. C. cadets to the inauguration.
When the details of the plan are
finally perfected it will doubtless be
found necessary to throw all of the
ent appears, nothing stands in the way
•f the accomplishment of the under- j Oeo ^ ia cadet battalions into the Geor
taking. The cadets are Happy. They
are looking forward with the fondest
anticipations to the trip of their cadet
life. All Milledgeville shares in this good
feeling of the cadets. Everybody in the
old tows is glad the boys are to have
this opportunity of marching bravely
down Pennsylvania Avc, to mart'al
music by their famous cadet band, in
the great procession that escorts the
new President to the Capitol. Great
is the only adjective in the language
that can adequately tell the story of such
an experience.
The idea of taking the battalion to
Washington originated in tho fertile
brain of MV. Warren Edwards. He it
war who first conceived it; and he it is
who has formulated the plan and, with
marvelous resourcefulness and untiring
energy, has passed it to success execu
tion. But for the work of Mr. Edwards
it is doubtful if anything would have
been heard of taking the cadets to
Washington. To this enterprising
Milledgeville citizen, therefore, is due
the credit for what promises to be the
greatest undertaking the college has
aver experienced.
Originally confined to the battalion of
gla Brigade, under one Commanding
officer. That will indeed be an honor
to our state. Georgia is going to be |
right in it on March 4th.

Rounding Into Shape for tbe To* sle
Mr. B, H. Sharpe, field captain of the
Newarks, has been engaged to coach
the G. M. C. ball team this season.
Coach Sharpe's term of service begins
about March 16th.; but he will likely
come ahead of his team and take up the
work of coaching on the first day of
judgement. Milledgcvill has the climate
and the grounds, besides other telling
advantages that will draw '.he big league
clubs here for practice. The coming of
the Newarks means much for the town
in the future.
The baseball spirit is astir among the
cadets. Already somo 25 me l have
signified their intention to try for
place on the team. Professers Walker
and Reynolds, both baseball men of ex
perience, will be in charge until Mr.
Sharpe gets down from his home in
Pennsylvania They will improve
every pleasant day to put the men
through the preliminary training. All
things point to afirs tclass College Nine,
! with rooters a plenty to put ginger in
the team. A great season in athletics
is just ahead.
Some notable exhibition games will oe
pulled off here before the big teams
leave the South for their campaigns
the East. The cadets will go up
against Stallings’ New Yorks, who will
train in Macon, and will have at least
one out witi) Wolyerton’s Newark, who
will be in this city for the training sea

Nashville, Tenn.—Over the veto of
Gov. Patterson, both houses of the leg
islature Wednesday passed the senate
bill which prohibits the sale of intoxica
ting liquors within four miies of a
schoolhouse in Tennesse, and is in effect

It is effective July 1, 1909. The vote
in the senate was the same as on the
original passage—20 to 13.
The house acted at 5:30 Wednesday
afternoon, the vote standing 61 to 36,
the original vote there having beea 62

In each house the passage was effect

He in. therefore, familiar with tho
college atmosphere, and will not need
to unlearn any mistakes before he can
begin hammering the cadet nine into
fighting shape. He comes to this
school strongly recommended by , Mr.
Stallings as a gentleman of fine char

upon the mad under him will be helpful
in every way. The college is iuckv in
securing Captain Sharpe to instruct its

A charming event of the week was
Mrs E. E. Bass’ reception on Wednes
day afternoon, given in honor of her at
tractive guest, Miss Julia Moate, of
Devereaux.
The guests were received in the hall
by the hostess and guest of honor, the
former wearing a becoming gown of
iightblue crepe made princess and trim
med with lace. Miss Moate was lovely
in a gray satin gown, made directoire.
The library was a charming study in
violets; large bowls of the flowers being
used in profusion and violet crept pa
per making an artistic setting for the
potted plants.
Mrs. John Vinson u shered the guests
into the dining room, where the dainty
decorations of white hyacinths and
maiden hair ferns were especially pret-
l ty -
Mrs. Isam Richarson served tea from
and elegant silver tea service, a hand-
iome cluny cover being used on the ta
ble Sandwiches were served by Mes-
dames Robinson and Finney, and a dain
ty ice course followed.
An attractive feature of the after
noon was several songs by Miss Julia
McArthur.

The news that Prof. M. M. Parks haa
been re-elected president of the Geor
gia Normal and Industrial college fot
two more years will no doubt be re
ceived with much pleasure and interest
by his friends throughout the state ar.d
the entire south.
The rally of the public school teach
ers to be held at the Midway school
next Friday. J«n. 29, will be an event
of much importance to the teachers of
Balwin county and Supt. Lamar has ar
ranged an excellent program for the
occasion.
Protracted meeting at the Presbyterian
church has been in progress during the
past week and the work ot Rev. D, W .
Brnnnan, assisted by Rev. Richard Ormo
Flynn, of Atlanta, has undoubtedly
been beneficial in every way.
The death of of James. F. McGown
in Augusta last week was one of th e
most regretable ever known in that
city. Besides being a man of great im
portance in the commercial world he
was generally esteemed ai a citizen of
sterling worth both in the social and
religious sense.
