DRIVE TO BE MADE
FOR THEJjEST ROOM
Public-Spirited Women of Mil
ledgeville To Wage Cam
paign To Secure Mainte
nance Funds.
A number of the public-spirited
women of Milledgeville will make a
canvas of thla city today for the pur-
poae of raising funds with which to
maintain the Milledgeville rest room,
the undertaking to be commenced to
day.
The local rest room was established
about two years ago for the benefit of
visitors coming to Milledgeville. Dur
ing these two years many mothers in
Baldwin and adjoining counties have
found the place one of much accom
modation and their coming here to do,
their shopping has been more a matter
of pleasure than a burden.
The main object of the establish
ment of the Milledgeville rest room 1b
to afford the good women of this sec
tion a place to carry their children for
i rest during the hot days of the sum
ner and the cold days of winter and
those visiting the place are made^to
feel at home during their stay in this
city.
During the two years the rest room
has been maintained in Milledgeville
many words of commendation have
been spoken in behalf of the public-
spirited women of this city. These
expressions have come from visitors
from many cities in Georgia, including
Atlanta, Macon, Savannah, Augusta,
Athens, Dublin, Thomasville, Fitzger
ald, Washington, Gainesville, Warren-
ton, Sparta, Columbus and other places
too numerous to mention. In some in
stances other towns have written to
Milledgeville to ascertain the plaus
under which the restVoom hero is car
ried on.
The ladles directly behind the move
ment to raise subscriptions for the
rest room are clearly convinced that
the cause they represent is a worthy
one and they propose to push the mat
ter to -a finish. _

here during the first and second days
of the School.
While tome fear .had been enter
tained Relative to the possibilities of
a decrease In attendance of the sum-
ffler School on account of unsettled
conditions, the indications now point
to a layger roll of students than that
cf last, year, many applications Com
log by every mail each day during
the past week. It would be hard to
give anything like exact figures as to
the number of students who have al
ready applied for places In the school
and the fact that many new applies
' tions are being received by each mall
the total number to be here would be
harder to estimate. However, it is a
certainty that six hundred or more
students will be enrolled during the
term.

to be here during the summer school
is composed of many of the most tal
ented men Rnd women In the United

MR. W.H. BARNES SPEAKS
TO G. N. & 1. C. GIRLS!
Shortly after 7 o'clock Tuesday eve
ning the fire alarm was sounded on
account of a small blaze breaking out
on the lower floor of the city hall was
caused, supposedly, by a cigarette or
match having been thrown on a beu
mattress in the rear of the building
next to the city lock-up.
As soon as the firemen aappearel
on the scene a streams of water was
immediately thrown on the small blaze
and the whole ularm was over wi'hiu
a few minutes.
A negro who was confined in the
city lock-up on a criminal charge came
near being suffocated on account of
the sudden spread of the heavy smoke
caused by the burning bed mattress.
Had the flames broken out later in the
night and gained more headway be
fore the alarm was sounded the pris
oner would have been in serious dan
ger.
