Mitchell was to have been hung
June 14, but on the appeal of tho con

that --he case might be placed before

however, found nothing that would

J. Gordon, a member of Company
K, of the Seventeenth Infantry, sta
tioned at Fort McPherson, encoun
tered a piece of hard luck In attempt
ing to get away with a burglary which
he Is alleged to have committed In
Oakland City Wednesday night.
Gordon, It Is alleged, went to the
home of a negro woman named Ruth
Johnson, In Oakland City, Wednesday
night, and carried away an entire
water set, composed of a pitcher, bow4,
soap dish and other articles which
usually go with a water set. A short
while later he went to the home of
another negro and tried to sell the ar
ticles. That was where Gordon's hard
luck came In. The home was that of
the mother of the woman from whom
the goods had been taken, and Gordon
was nailed on the spot, two or three
negro women and a negro man doing
the nailing.
The prisoner was turned over
Marshal Ryan, who In turn delivered
him to Officer Odum of the county
police Thursday morning.
Gordon declares that he found the
water set and denlos that he etole
them.

Athens, Os., June 20.—"American
Citizenship" was the eubject of the ad.
dress delivered to the graduating class
of the Georgia University yesterday
by Alfred P. Thom, general counsel of
tho Southern Railway Company.
Referring to his own perplexities, aa
he looked upon this sea, . Mr. Thom
said:
“Before me stretched a sea that was
not all storm, but on which tile sun
light rested more frequently than the
clouds, 4nd there were. If I only knew,
many seaworthy boats In which
might embark. I was forced to real
Ixo that I had to And a ship—perhaps
to' build It; no ship would seek me or
come after me. I was obliged to real
ize that my knowledge of the sea of
life, notwithstanding my college train
ing, was limited, and that I must be
content to serve a bard apprentice
ship to nt me for the duties of com
mand. I found that the world was not
busying Itself to help me to embark,
and that, practically unaided, I must
And a way to create a usefulness and
establish an Importance. In the midst
of these surroundings, 1 did not realize
the greatness and the glory of the
opportunity which comes to youth, and
to youth alone; but now, In looking
backward, I have come to know that,
notwithstanding seeming neglect and
InsIgnlAcnnce, the destinies or man
kind are dependent upon the recurring
generations of Its youth—their larger
knowledge at the corresponding age,
their better training, their advancing
Ideals and aspirations.
Will Mast Discouragement
"Similar dlAlcuttles and discourage
rooms to those I have mentioned wllj
doubtless come to you In the early ex
periencea of your lives. But, for your
encouragement, you have the experi
ences add the achievements of nil the
generations which have gone before
you, which, notwithstanding these q|f-
Acultles and discouragements, have
made the history and created the op
portunities of mankind. You have all
the errors and mistakes of others In
the past by which to proAt. You start
from the highest point of civilisation,
upon the highest plane of human op
portunity yet opened to any genera
tion."
Taking up his subject—American
Cltlsenshlp; Its Opportunities and Its
Responsibilities—Mr. Thom spoke
the foundation of the American repub
lic-dedicated to liberty and conse
crated to the happiness of mankind—
Its foundation stone being equality of
Individual opportunity and the sanc
tity of Individual liberty, and Its three
great fundamentals, the security of
life, the security of liberty, and the
security of property. He suggested
that It might be both Interesting and
useful to Inquire to which of these
three fundamentals there was likely.
In our American republic, to come the
greatest and the quickest danger.
What Is Liberty?
"But what of-liberty In. the larger
sense—of that liberty which means
freedom of thought, freedom of action,
equality of opportunity, and equality
of light and privilege?” asked Mr.
Thom. "Civilisation, with all Its prog
ress, Its development and Its achieve
ments, has never been able to settle the
problems In respect to, or to make se
cure, this larger liberty. No people
realise more fully than we of the South
that freedom of thought and freedom
of political action are not yet secure to
us."
Mr. Thom,sketched brleAy the strug
pelllng the , Southern people to stand
together, without reference to national
questions. In order to preserve their
domestic peace and their Anglo-Saxon
civilization. Now, however, because of
wise measures of disfranchisement, he
felt Hint he could see the dawn of their
political emancipation and restoration
to their old position of honor and In-
Auence In the republic.
In concluding his address, Mr. Thom
said:
Eulogizes Spencer.
“Contrast for a moment the charac
ter nnd career of the demagogue to
which I have alluded with the brilliant
achievements of one of your own dis
tinguished alumni, whose name my
heart bids me to mention In honor here
today. Born of your people and In
your midst, he began at 16, In For
rest's command, to Aght the battles of
his country. When the cause for which
he fought went down In ruin, he was
left omy with hts tattered Confederate
uniform, his brave heart and his high
purpose to confront the future. Here
at this university and at the University
of Virginia he received the academic
and professional training which', with
his splendid character, was nil Jhe cap
ital on which he started life. He was
essentially a product of the South. He
came from that generation of warrior
youths which adorned the annals of
courage and chivalry and made Immor
tal the history of our people. He began
his professional life In the lowest ranks
of civil engineering. In the position of
rodman he drove his Arst stake at a
railroad builder Just across your bor
ders, at Opelika, in Alabama. Hla
course was from the Arst constantly
upward, until hla fame became more
than national, and his constructive
genius created the great railroad aya
tem which, after all of ua have been
called to our fathera, will go on carry
ing the commerce, serving the conven
ience, aiding the growth, nnd making
the prosperity of generations yet un
born. The monument of Samuel Bpen-
cfer Is his great constructive work,
which will continue through countless
-a lo bring blessings to mankind. In
life and In hla work he Illustrated
the moral and Intellectual possibilities
of American cltlsenshlp. 1 ask the
privilege of Joining In the Just tribute
president of the University of Virginia:
recently paid to him by Dr. Alderman.
" ‘Gentle and purposeful, calm and
masterful, gracious anil sympathetic,
Samuel Spencer grew Into a sort of
pe of the best that modern Southern
'e could produce, retaining the lova
bleness and charm of the old, blended
with the vigor and freedom of the new.
Worldly and clear-eyed and modern,
he yet contrived to hold fast, through
the conservatism In hts blood, to Just
conreptf of public probity and scorn of
dishonor. I sometimes think that no
section and no Institution and no nation
■hat has not known the discipline of
war and defeat and suffering could
produce Just this Ane blend of strength
and simplicity, of power and honor.'
Names That Will Livt.
"But, as signal as were hla achieve
ments, he Is only one of the Illustrious
names which this university has con
tributed to the Immortal pages
American history. Time does not per
mit to recount their deeds, but. In the
presence of this generation of generous
and aspiring youth. It Is an Inspiration
and a privilege to call even a partial
roll of the great names which this uni
verslty has furnished to the pantheon
American citizenship. Robert
Toombs, Howell Cobb, Thomas R.
Cobb. Benjamin H. Hill. Henry W.
Grady, Walter B. Hill, and Samuel
Spencer will always bo a glory and an
Inspiration to mankind, and will
strengthen the purpoae and elevate the
standards of the young men of Georgia
and her slater states as long as cour
age, high character and noble achieve-
ments are valued among men.
"I am a Arm believer In the Anal tri
umph of the character and sense of
Justice of the people. I have faith In
this American republic. As I stand
before this generation of American
youth and contemplate the opportunity
and possibilities of the real man In
American life, 1 can not escape a feel
ing of pride that I, too, am an Ameri
can cltlsen. I see before me a conti
nent which 416 years ago arose for the
Arst time out of the mlsta and wilder
ness of the ocean to reward the search
of a civilised discoverer, and on which
200 years ago was made the Arst per
manent settlement of the white man. I
see before me a republic which 122
S ears ago had Ita baptism of Are and Its
Irth .of ‘ ' ‘
Justice and fair dealing among men,
I see It dotted with great cities, covered
with farms In cultivation, sheltered by
great forests, and watered by great
rivers. I see possessing this land a
great nation, practicing the arts and
sciences of civilisation from ocean to
ocean, and from the lakes to the gulf.
1 hear on every hand the hum of In
dustry; 1 see the mines giving up their
treasures, the valleys teeming with
fruit trees and harvests, and the hill
sides covered with Aocks and herds. I
see men happy and prosperous In their
labors, tilling the lands In the fear of
God, and going down to the sea In
ships and doing business on the great
waters. I see on every hand a good
and contented people, serving their
Maker, loving and honoring their homes
and cherishing their fellow-men. I see
that In this American republic Is the
bulwark of liberty. Justice and right
eousness among the nations of the
earth. And I say to you. young men
about to enter Into life;
"Here Is your hope. This Is your
heritage."

sure to find it out Boys are never stilL They are
running or jumping or tumbling around all the time.
They haven't any too much respect for clothes, and a
suit has got to be mighty well made if it is going to
stay long on the boy who wears it
Our boys' summer suits are of such durable
material and so strongly put together that the most
active boy will find it hard work to rip a seam or
wear a hole. They will hold their shape and look
well through a lot of wear. And together with these
qualities there is the element of style. For boys of 5
