$40,000 IS GIVEN
TO GEORGIA TECH
INDICATIVE OF HIGH STANCING
SCHOOL HOLDS AMONG
CONTEMPORARIES
STATE NEWS OF INTEREST
Brief News Items Gathered Here a*nd
There From All Section*
Of The State
Atlanta. Acknowledgment of a clo
tiation of forty thousand dollars to
the Georgia School of Technology by
the general education board of New
York City, to help the institution in
its present financial straits, was made
by K. G. Mat lies on, president of Tech,
recently.
Tech is said to be the first state
educational institution ever to receive
Bid from the board. Moreover, it has
long been an established custom of the
hoard to make its donations in the
form of general endowments. Very
rarely bus the board given funds to
war<i I he maintenance of any institu¬
tion.
Doctor Matheson, in announcing the
gift, stated that, the sum will go a
long way toward solving the crisis
Tech faced at the adjournment of the
legislature, when its request for $125,
000 emergency appropriation was de¬
feated in the final hours of the ses¬
sion, after having unanimously pass
si the house.
On the pledge of the Rotary Club
to help the institution, Doctor Mathe
son obtained tbe largest and proba¬
bly I lie best faculty in the history of
the school- a faculty made necessary
by tiie remarkable growth of the
school. Although the Rotary Club,
it is understood, lias met with some
success in securing (lie Tech fund,
the forty thousand gift from the gen¬
eral education hoard comes as a god¬
send, Tech officials state, and will
probably /enable Tech to maintain a
high standard throughout the current
year at least.
A high tribute was paid by Doctor
Matheson to Dr. Wallace Bullrick, the
president id' the board, and wideiy
known patron of the cause of educa¬
tion. "lie is recognized throughout
ilie country as one of the great edu¬
cational administrators of today,” said
Doctor Matheson.
"Tech is glad to receive this mag¬
nificent gift.” Doctor Matheson said,
first, because we need it sorely; and,
second, because it is such inspiring
recognition of Tech s standing and
work from stub high sources."
In giving the forty thousand dollars,
the hoard made it understood that it
is only for one year, by the following
paragraph in its resolution:
"Resolved, That the executive offi¬
cers of the general educational board
be, and are hereby, authorized, with¬
in their discretion, to contribute to
the Georgia School of Technology a
sum not to exceed forty thousand dol¬
lars for the yei^r beginnig July, 1920,
toward the amount lieedetl for in¬
crease in teachers' salaries within (lie
period mentioned, it being expressly
stipulated that this appropriation be
made for one year only.”

son for removal as trustee was uot
shown.

HARDING’S FOREIGN POLICY
“We Built In Nationality And Wo
Do Not Propose To Surrender
It,” Says President-Elect
Brownsville, Texas.—Facing a bor¬
der crowd in which were many citi¬
zens of Mexico and several officials
of the Mexican government, President¬
elect Harding proposed here a for¬
eign policy directed toward peace and
firendship, but demanding always full
protection of American nationality and
of American citizens wherever they
may go.
Tiie address, which was his first
prepared public utterance since his
election to tiie presidency, was de¬
livered from a stand on the Fort
Brown parade grounds, within a few
hundred yards of the international
boundary. Tiie cavalry sabers of die
Fort Brown garrison rattled about
him, but in a place of honor on his
right was also a part of the Mexican
garrison of Matamoros, paying a visit
of compliment and courtesy to the
next American president.
In the course of his address, de¬
voted jointly to Hie significance of
the Armistice Day anniversary and
to the country’s foreign relations, ho
did not mention .Mexico by name nor
did lie refer directly to tbe league of
nations.
"We crave fraternity,” lie said; “we
wish amicable relations everywhere
we offer peace and choose to promote
it. but we demand our freedom and
our owu America. I believe an Amer¬
ica eminent on the seas, respected in
every avenue of trade, will be safer
at home and greater in influence
throughout the world. I like to think
of an America whose citizens are
ever seeking the greater development
and enlarged resources and widened
influences of the republic, and I like
to think of a government whicli pro¬
tects its citizens wherever they go on
a lawful mission, anywhere under the
shining sun.”
Mr. Harding also suggested that
the nation learn a lesson of prepared¬
ness from the experience of the re¬
cent world war, and spoke a word for
waterway development. He praised
the efforts of Texas citizens toward
the development of adequate port fa¬
cilities at the mouth of the Rio
Grande, declaring his vacation visit
to Point Isabel tiail brouhgt a new
realization of the economic possibili¬
ties of tiie state.

plication” that he had been “dilatory
in his administration with regard to
building contracts.”

D A R. BIRTHDAY PARTY.
One of the most delightful of the
fall entertainments w-as the October
meeting of the Governor Treutlen
Chapter Daughters of the American
Revolution; Mrs. M. S. Brown en¬
tertaining at her home on Church
street Wednesday, October the ninth.
The seventh of the month was the
Thirteenth Anniversary of the Chap¬
ter so the regular meeting on the
ninth was observed as a Birthday
Party,
Mrs. Smith in a charming manner
presided for the first time as Regent
and in an efficient and capable man¬
ner disposed of the business to come
before the Society. It was decided to
donate $15.00 to the Thomas Library
and also to of^er a prize in the Public
School in American History, After
the disposal of business Mrs. Sterling
Slappey took charge.
We were honored to have Mrs. S.
B. Brown read an interesting and in¬
structive paper on Governor Treut¬
len— Mrs. Annie W. Harris. It was
very appropriate that these two be¬
loved characters should be eulogized
in the same paper. First because our
chapter was named for that faithful
and fearless Georgia patriot. Gover¬
nor Treutlen, and second because
Mrs. Annie W. Harris, who was the
inspiration and first Regent of our
Chapter, was a lineal descendant of
Governor Treutlent.
This was followed by a paper,
“Chapter Reminiscences,” by Miss
Claudia Culpepper . Miss Culpepper
for a number of years has been an
interested and faithful member, so
the Reminiscences she gave of the
Society were interesting and benefi¬
cial to all front during the time
when she was a co-worker with Mrs.
Annie W. Harris, who gave so -many
years of untiring love and devotion
to the cause before her death, up to
the present time when we have grown
to he a band of thirty-three united,
zealous, and loyal members.
Mrs. Brown during a social hour
served a refreshing iced salad and
punch.
We were delighted to have present
the following guests: Mrs. Sim
Dro Mrs . John H . Allen, Mrs.
Ralph Bassett, and Mrs. J. D. Mar-
lives near the Glades, Hall
was killed when struck by an auto
mobile driven by Perry Waddell
Forsyth county, Gravett had stepped

just as Waddell came up, the car strik¬
ing him and breaking his neck and
lioth legs. Waddell is being held pend¬
ing investigation by the coroner.

CROP RECORD BOOKS.
Catch-as-catch-ean methods of con¬
ducting the farming business are be¬
ing discouraged through the efforts
of the county agent In Madison
Coutny, Ala. Farmers were first
encouraged to keep expense on la¬
bor accounts on the growing of a
single crop. Standard record books
were furnished for this purpose. The
practice has been a great assistance
in the planning of a subsequent
year’s work and has resulted in the
saving of expenses, the seriousness
of which had not been realized when
no accounts were kept. A number of
farmers who strated keeping ac¬
counts have learned the advantage of
having a deposit at the bank and
have acquired habits of thrift.

HOME AGAIN
Mrs. A. J. Perryman, Jr., is home
again. Some one remarked in her
presence that the people of Marshall
ville believed in having a good time,
She replied that it was a delightful
life but that they put the church and
the school first.
This commendation is merited,
And it is true of Fort Valley and
Montezuma. And this triad of towns
are centers of culture and of wealth,
But the church and the school are
first. Now’ any man ought to know
that “Christianity in Earnest” is the
j open sesame of spiritual and materia!
glory.
Talbotton is aequitting herself
most creditably now. And this is her
star of hope. Be-dim its lustre and
the flowering faith of her children
will perish. Let it shine out and
in cloudless glory and we shall enter
a day of the Son of Man and rejoice
in it and be glad.
God pity a community that would
crucify the Prince of Glory on a cris
is. And it has come to pass that Tal
botton will never swap a noble birth
right to the devil for a mess of pot
tage.

HOG-CHOLERA LOSS REDUCED
BY TEACHING USE OF SERUM
Losses by hog cholera have been
materially reduced in Bullock Coun¬
ty, Ala., as a result of the work of
the county agent in training farmers
in various centers throughout the
county to use the swum and appara
tus developed by the department. *
Forty-nine cars of hogs, 3,928 head,
have been marketed from the coun
ty through cooperative work, with an
estimated saving of $6,000. In Hous
ton County the department’s repre- w
sentative taught 18 men to vaccinate ®
hogs. Six sets of instruments owned
by the Dothan Rotary Club were
supplied to the demonstrators and a
serum-distributing point was estab
lished in charge of a reliable veteri
narian. More than 9,000 head of hogs
were treated. In many cases it was
found’that sickness, other than chole
ra, was due to some incidental cause,
such as bad peanut meal, and bal
anced rations were advised, The
county agent’s work resulted in 32
farmers establishing pastures to keep
their hogs off the open range, the
land thus pastured being freed of
many noxious weeds by the rooting of
^
the animals, and prepared for fufure
cultivation. Forty-four farmers in
the county were interested in stump
removing, and about 2,000 acres of
land was cleared in this movement,
About 5 tons of dynamite was
bought for the purpose largely on
the cooperative plan.
N
