Series Of Law Lectures
By Gol. Kenan At G. M. C.
■■ginning last Monday Col. Kenan
started a series of lectures -at the
Georgia Military College and he will
make four or five others during the
term. The subject last Monday wis
on elementary law and the course pro
vides for a general discussion of all
branches of law.
There is no doubt but that this depar

G. M. C. students as it will give them
valuable points for future guidance as
citizens and some of them will take
law course later and this will help them
materially. Col. Kenan is a close stud
ent of law and well qualified to present

Vienna—Albert Pulitzer, a brother of
Joseph Pulitzr, publisher of the Now,
York World, committed suicide in this i
city Monday. It was ^evident that he |
made doubly sure of death, for all thel
indicati-ns pointed to the fact that he * 1
had first swallowed poison, and then,
standing in front of a mirror, had sent'
a bullet from a revolver through his |
right temple. An empty poison bottle I
lav on the table in Mr. Pulitzer's room. [
Early yesterd ly Mr. Pulitzer dis- j
missed his attendants and asked to be
left alone. Some time later Dr. Pol- j
lak, who has been attending Mr. Pulit- j
zer, called to make his usual visit, and |
found him lying dead on the floor in I
front of his dressing table.
Mr. Pulitzer, who had suffered a
nervous breakdown, was greatly depress
ed over the failure of his physicians to
benefit him.
New Uniforms Here
For G. N. & I. Gi
The new uniforms for the students of
he Georgia Normal and Industrial Col
lege are being fitted up for the girls
and they will soon be wearing them.

thing decidedly better and more becom
ing than the former attire and every
body who haa seen the advance HrOofs,
■o to apeak, is delighted with them.
The cadets of the Georgia Military
College will also be in uniform hereafter
and this will give an educational air to
the city, for there are more students at
the college than ever before.
Fruit Growers Receive
Dividend From Exchange
The management of the Georgia
Fruit Exchange, which has several
members in Milleageville has mailed t#
all the peach growers in Georgia who
are memjjers of that co-operfive organ
ization the ten per cent dividend recent
ly declared in Atlanta at a meeting of
ihc bor-rd of tiustics and the execu
tive committer.
This dividend does' not include i ll
-he profits the growers made under
their oo-operative plan. Considerably
over the amount of 'he dividend was
laid aside as a surplus.
The dividend goes to some six hun
dred peach growers in Georgia, the
majority of whom are located either
in this immediate district or south of
here in the fruit giowing belt. Com
ing at a time when cotton is high and
a return of prosperity is being felt, the
money will prove very acceptable.

Weighted Down by Fifty-
Pound Rock.
Athens, Ga., Weighted down with a
50-pound rock, the body of Vonderau
Kennon. a well known young man, who

Cotton Coiiiliiion Was
Far Below The Record
The govermont crop report issued
Monday showed tho nverage condition
of the crop to be 58.5, which added a
new record to the report of last month.
However, prices dropped rapidly after
the figures where poktqd and by Tues
day afternoon prices were down half a
cent. •
The immense receipts in Texas as wel
aa over the entire eastern belt is con
sidered as the cause of the decline. All
the big cotton centers are receiving far
more cotton than last year. The pre
vailing price is regarded as satisfacto
ry by most conservative farmers.

best in the belt and Tuesday the re

previous years. The figures were
