OXFORD, Ga., Sept 15.—A large
number of students have arrived Tn
Oxford, many coming on the afternoon
train from Atlanta yesterday and othera
arriving thle morning.
More Atlanta boys than usual will
be at Emory College this year. Prep
arations are being made to receive the
new atudente and old ones, and when
college formally opens Wednesday
morning Emory will start her seventy-
third term with the brightest prospects
of many years.
Emory Is very fortunate tn securing
the man who Is to occupy the chair of
English. Dr. Wrighton F. Melton was
bom In Tennessee, but has spent the
greater part of his life In Alabama.
Most of the time he has been promi
nently connected with the causa of ed
ucation. He was president of the Flor
ida Conference College for five years,
co-president of Dr. Price’s Nashville
College for Toung Ladles In Nashville.
Tenn., for two years, and president of
the Tuskaloosa Female College for sev
en years, he was a fellow at Johns
Hopkins and took his degree there. In
1905.
He then taught In 1900-1907 at the
Baltimore City College, resigning that
position to come tn Emory. Dr. Meltoi
In well known among literary men ant
Is a warm peraonal friend of Charlea
Elliott Norton, of Harvard. Dr. Mel
ton has his family with him In Oxford
and hla eldest son Is Just entering tha
freshman class at Emory.
Profeasor Nolan A. Goodyear, who
will have charge of the gymnasium and
teach In the sub-freshman department,
la an A. B. of Emory College. 1904, and
an A. M. of the college, 1907. He waa
principal of Palmer institute In Oxford
during 1904-’05 and 190*-’07. and taught
two years In Wayeross, his home town.
He has always met with success as a
teacher and will prove an addition to
Emory'a already efficient faculty. This
summer he took a course In gymnastics
at Harvard under JJr. Sargent, the fa
ther of American college gymnastics.
The old students arriving at Emory
will find many new Improvements at
Oxford. Nine new families are- here
and several houses have been remod
eled and put In readiness for their new
occupants.
One old land-mark, formerly the
r toffies and home of the late J O. H.
Henderson, has been entirely re
modeled.

Mr. Ansley stated that tne trip waa far

that business conditions wero Improving,

« would be no further delay on this

and everything Is now about In readiness to
begin the actual work of ronstructlon and
push It forward to completion. It was be*
cause I wanted to be ‘on the Job* that I
moved my ofTlces to North Forsyth-st., you
will remember, ag this location will make
possible the personal supervision of the en
tire work from my porch or offlt e windows.
“J waa delighted to find In the Bast the
feeling that existed there. Every one. and

been rushing forward my own ptana.

'Then, too, there are a great many people
who have their money stored whorp It is

ment of down-town property ns the very

, “The trouble hitherto has lieen that this
form of Investment hns required so much
capital that only the very rich were able
to enjoy the great profit* that follow In
Its wake. For n long time I hare 'been
bending every energy looking to the adoption
of some plan whereby the small Ifivestor,

wsge-esrner. eouM become a sharer fn the

hove found n plan that has already been
most pdictjcsl and successful, nnd i hava

“I expect to announce these plnns In the
newspapers In a short time, together wit*
iny Intentions regarding the Immediate Im
provement of North, Forsyth-st.. and It*
transformation to the retell nnd business
center of Atlanta. As every one-know*
the city Is rapidly moving northward, anu
the down-town shopping district is now so

publican situation can doubt for

And the body of the delegates are
atUI going round and round In circle#
waiting for aome one to lead them. The
deeperatenesa of the situation la shown
In the frank turn from one man to nil-
other until nearly every man of recuil-
alte ability, standing and prominence
In th* state lias been offered the nom-
I Inatlon—Boot, C'hoate, Nichols, Mur

Between Devil and Deep 8ea.
Uunderlylng all le to be found tha
senatorial ambitions of Woodruff, ex-
Governor Black and other*. They nre
between th* devil and the deep sen.
Root Is the administration choice for
senator unless. In case of Taft's elec
tion that gentleman will want to hold
on to th* portfolio. The man occupying
tha most ticklish position of nil Is
Woodruff. He wants to maintain his
hold on the state organisation and Is
movsd by more or less gratitude for
what the state organisation has dona
for him. On th# other aide, he want*
the support of the national administra
tion and of the Hughes following for a
asst In the United Htatee senate.
Representative Co*, who Is looked
upon as the personal representative,
altho Boot and Herbert Parsons are also
In close touch with Oyster Bay, said
thl# morning: *
"Hughes-wll! be nominated on the
first ballot. The opposition does not
possess one-half the strength to which
It lays claim, and with this the
strength It has Is divided entong a half
dosen camps which, far apart at Ihe
beginning, are farther apart now If
anything.
Roeaevalt Hr* Net Interfered.
The president ha* not Interfered. He
has kept hla hands off. He haa made i
neither threats nor promises. He be
lieves sincerely that It la the part of
wisdom from holh a atate and na
tional viewpoint to nominate Httghea
and he expressed this view as a brave,
a frank man should. He aleo believes
sincerely that Hughes can be elected.
That la the whole position of the pres
ident In this matter.
"It will be Hughes on the first bal
lot,” said Herbert Persona today at
noon, following a confernce or rather
a raurus of the New York county dele
gates.
When the proposition to support
Hughe* we* submitted to the caucus a
poll of the delegation showed 153 for
Hughes and 34 opposed or absent.
