GAINESVILLE WON
ATHLETIC CUP
Winder Came Second and the Relay,
the Final Event, Decided the Win
ner at the Ninth District Meet.
Gainesville, Ga., April 21. —The
ninth district athletic meet, which was
held last Saturday at the city park,
was one of the most thrilling athletic
contests ever staged here. Gaines
ville won the cup offered to the team
scoring the most points, scoring 30.
Winder, Gainesville's old-time rival,
ran a close second, scoring 25.
It was all the more thrilling from
the fact that the last event of the
afternoon, the relay race, decided the
w'liner of the cup.
Winder had 22 poi .ts, Gainesville
23 and had Winder won the relay
she wouid i: ve topped Gainesville’s
toial by two points. F i it was well
nigh an rnp. ssible tan';, with such
speed demors as Rothstein, . v iford,
Payne and Paris running. At any
rate the relay was the most exv.'ting
event held. Rothstein, running the
first lap for Gainesville, jumped into
the lead from the start. Incidentally
it might be mentioned that Gaines
ville drew the outside position, which
was a great handicap. Benny took
about a fifteen-yard lead; and Led
ford, running the second lap, took
Benny’s lead and ran it up a couple
of yards; then Clyde Payne, running
the third lap, took the lead given him
by Rothstein and Ledford, and ran it
up about two more yards, and “Lit
tle” Tommy Paris, running like one
possessed, ran the lead up about five
more yards, finishing approximately
80 yards in the lead, winning the cup
for Gainesville. Their time for the
race was one minute, 43 2-5 seconds.
Benny Rothstein is due a lot of the
credit for winning the cup for Gaines
ville, winning two first places—loo
- dash and 120 low hurdles, be
sides giving about a fifteen-yard lead
to his team in the relay race. Benny
is a great little athlete, and will be
heard from again before he leaves
Gainesville high school. His time for
the 100-yafd dash is something to
shoot at, doing the century in 10 1-5
seconds.
All the members of the Gainesville
track squad are to be congratulated
for their fine showing, not only in the
events they won, but in those they
didn’t win a place; for instance, in
the 440-dash Ledford, running for us,
led the field all the way up to the
last 20 yards, when three runners,
those winning 1,2, 3 places, closed in
on him, and the four runners finished
in a bunch.
Gainesville placed in seven out of
the nine events, winning four first
places, tied with Winder for first
place in high jump, and two c.cond
places.
The medals for the winning contes
tants were delivered Monday morning
in the chapel at the Gainesville
high school. Mr. Pittard, the coach
of the Gainesville team, very fitting
ly delivered the cup to Clyde Payne,
captain of the track team. It is the
second time that every member of
the track team winning the cup also
received a medal for first place in
one or more of the events.
Those winning medals for Gaines
ville were:
Clyde Payne, captain, member of
relay team; Theron Ledford, relay
team; Ernest Palmour, high jump;
Tom Paris, relay team; Benny Roth
stein won a flock of medals, member
relay team, 100-yard dash, 120 low
hurdles; and Ralph Pierce, the boy
who threw the shot away. Fatty
heaved the 12-pound shot 41 feet, his
nearest competitor getting 37 feet.
Gainesville should feel proud of
this little bunch of athletes who have
worked so faithfully, early and late,
for the past tor, op months.
They deserve all the praise that can
be given them. In the w <fs of Mr.
Pittard, - IVo nuch can’' be said
about they re at once gentle
men, stude ns, an 1 athletes.’ -

Distinguished American Statesmen,
Jurists, Military and Naval Offi
cers and Masons Pay Tribute.
Sir Alfred Robbins, president of
the board of general purposes of the
United Masonic grand lodge of Eng
land, of London, who is visiting the
United States as the representative of
:he Duke of Can'nought, grand mas
ter of Masons of England, for the
purpose of promoting fraternal coop
eration between the Masoiiic organiza
tions of the English-speaking coun
tries, was the guest of honor at a din
ner given at the House of the Temple
by Captain John H Cowles, 33 de
grees, sovereign grand commander,
supreme council, 33 degrees, Ancient
and Accepted Scottish Rite of Free
masonry, southern jurisdiction, on
April 4, 1924.
Welcomed by Grand Commander.
On behalf of the quarter million
Scotish Rite Masons of this jurisdic
tion, Captain Cowles welcomed the
distinguished visitor, paying an elo
quent tribute to his services to Free
masonry, and assuring him that the
Masons of the United States were
earnesly desirous of cooperating with
their Masonic brethren across the sea
in advancing the cause of world-wide
amity and peace. Sir Alfred re
sponded with a felicitous address in
which he presented the fraternal
greetings of the grand master of
English Masons and declared that the
best interests of humanity would he
served by the promotion of friendly
relations and a cordial understanding
among the nations that spoke the
Anglo-Saxon tongue.
Sir Alfred is the head of the gov
erning body of the oldest Masonic
grand lodge in the world, qf which he
is past grand warden. For thirty-six
years he was the London correspon
dent of the Birmingham News, and
his services to journalism were recog
nized by King George seven years
ago, at which time he was created a
Knight Bachelor.
Sir Alfred Robbjns expressed his
sincere pleasure at being greeted in
so friendly a manner by his brother
Freemasons in the national capital. It
deepened his sense of the fraternity
of the welcome in that it was given
him by a grand jurisdiction not his
own. This served in itself to show the
width and depth and greatness of
Freemasonry.
Universal Freemasonry.
Just as all rivers—the Thames arid
the Eevern, the Mississippi and the
Potomac alike—ultimately mingled
their waters in the sea, so did the
Freemasonry of England and that of
the Ancient and Accepted Scottish rite
furnish their fruitful streams to the
vast ocean of Masonry.
Already the speaker has visited va
rious American jurisdictions, and he
had arranged to visit several more, as
the direct represenative of the grand
lodge of England and its most dis
tinguished grand master, his royal
highness the Duke of Connaught, last
surviving son of Queen Victoria and
uncle of King George. That illus
trious prince had honored him with
the best of good wishes for the suc
cess of his mission to the United
States, and had expressed the earnest
hope that the tenets of the Masonic
order might assist still further to
strengthen the bond of friendship and
good will which so happily exists be
tween our two nations.
Those were the Duke of Con
naught’s own words, and it was his
(Sir Alfred’s) desire to assist to real
ize his grand master’s hope. Every
thing he had yet seen in this great
country had strengthened his good
will towards his American brethren;
and he was more than ever convinced
that, by a development of more full,
free, and frequent intercourse be
tween English and American Free
masons, a spirit of fraternity would
be evolved which would prove a most
potent factor in stimulating not only
among Masons, but throughout the
world the will to peace.
That is what he today was striving
for, as for years he had striven, and
should always continue to strive. If
in the short space still allotted to him
he could do even a little to promote
this most splendid of all world objects
he would feel that a long and strenu
ous professional and public life had
not been lived in vain.
An Enduring Peace.
He was the more inspired to hope
for this because of the distinguished
company among whom he had the
honor to stand that night. The great
Washington monument in this city
was accustomed proudly to be de
scribed to visitors as “the highest
work of Masonry in the world.” Yet
there is an even higher work in spec
ulative than in operative Masonry
and that is what they all were joined
in endeavoring to do. In their own
old days a brooding and even a tragic
significance attached among Ameri
cans to the well-known phrase, “All
quiet along the Potomac.” Today a
high and heartening significance
should attach to the phrase, “All ac
tive along the Potomac.”—Every Ma
son among them active to spread
through the unassailable principles of
their order the great ideal of all the
ages, “On earth peace, good will to
ward men!”
During the evening General Fries
exhibited moving pictures showing
recent developments in chemical war
fare as it relates to gases, smoke
screens, masks, and other offensive
and defensive measures.

Demand for Capital Makes Jirst
Mortgages of Unusual Value—Build
ing Program Extensive in Couth.
Atlanta, Ga., April 24.—“ Financial
history shows that in the long run
men who confine their investments to
real estate first mortgages come into
a sound, unimpaired fortune in their
later years, with an income which is
beyoiwl any influence of depressions,
strikes or other possible factors.”
Such is the statement of Forrest
Adair, one of the south’s best known
business men and the head of the
Adair Realty and Trust Company of
Atlanta, one of the oldest concerns of
its kind in America.
“Investments in fluctuating securi
ties may look promising at first, may
continue to look so for a considerable
period of time,” continued Mr. Adair,
“but a glance at the actual records
shows that investors in these securi
ties rarely average as much as 7 per
cent in the long run, because of the in
evitable losses, passing of dividends,
bankruptcy of some, and hundreds of
other things that contribute to low
ering the average net profits for
them.”
So basic is the belief in the sound
ness and stability of first mortgages,
as pointed out by Mr. Adair, that the
rigid savings banks laws of the state
of New York permit the investment
of 65 per cent of savings deposits in
first mortgages, and about six billion
dollars in these investments are held
today, by savings ban'-s, and insur
ance companies in America.
Opportunity for Small Investor.
“The plan of dividing the mort
gages into units of s!>' >. ssot! and
SI,OOO is of inestimable advantage to
the smaller investor who may,
through this channel, invest his funds
and thus gain the same high earnings
with absolute safety that were for
merly available only to ltunks, large
corporations and individuals of
wealth,” Mr. Adair said.
The south, as a section, it was as r
serted by Mr. Adair, is an eager bor
rower today fdr much the same rea
son that America Was in the days
when the government was borrowing
heavily from Europe. The building
program of the south is ore of almost
incredible magnitude, and immense
volumes of capital are necessary to
carry it on, according to Mr. Adair.
“With the whole country seeking
capital for extensive building pro
grams,” said Mr. Adair, “it is natural
that the section farthest removed
from the big financial centers should
pay more for its capital than sections
which have great sources at hand.
The south’s present, normal rate of
interest on first mortgage realty loans
is 7 per cent. With its vast natural
resources and a demand for real es
tate improvements, the south is able
to pay this high rate and is fully jus
tified in doing so.”
Building in the South Is Cheaper.
Opportunity in the south, and par
ticularly in its smaller cities and
towns, for economical building con
struction on a large scale, was point
ed out here today by Hentz, Reid and
Adler, Atlanta architects, who are de
signing many structures in Dixie.
In discussing the trend in building,
heads of the firm said wages in this
industry as well as in other indus
tries are lower in the smaller towns
and cities and in the rural sections
than in many of the large cities.
While this wage is lower in dollars
and cents, of course, as was shown,
the laborer is paid as much or more in
actual values, on account of the dif
ference in living costs in the large
city.
Based on government reports and
advices received from building trades,
Atlanta contractors see nothing to in
dicate appreciable reductions in build
ing costs in the near future, consider
ing conditions throughout the country
as a whole. Reports indicate, how
ever, a tendency downward in ma
terials and a rising tendency in
wages.
