■GE AGENT
National Committeeman Clark Unw
ell will leave for Baltimore Wednesday,
1n order to be on hand at the meeting
of the committee prior to the gathering
of the Democratic clams, and to com
plete some preliminary arrangements
for the accommodation and comfort of
the Georgia delegation while in the
Monumental City.
Mr. Howell, took over entirely the
task of obtaining satisfactory quarters
for the various members of the delega
tion and their friends, and as a conse
quence r he Georgians will he splendidly
taken care of in Baltimore. And the
present indications are that Baltimore
will be by far the most thoroughly
packed and jammed city in which a
Democratic convention ever has met.
The Georgia delegation will go to
Baltimore on two separate trains, one
over the Southern and one giver the
Seaboard. The Southern will leave At
lanta next Sunday morning at 11:15.
and likely will carry a majority of the
delegates. The Seaboard will be oper
ated out of Savannah.
Seconding Underwood.
Oscar Underwood’s name, it is ■gen
erally understood, will be presented to
the national convention by Governor
O’Neal, of Alabama. Underwood will,
in all probability, be the first candidate
nominated, as Alabama comes first of
all the states on the roll call.
It seems to be generally agreed that
Georgia shall be the first state to sec
ond the nomination of Underwood, the
seconding speech being made by J.
Randolph Anderson, of Savannah.
Hutchens to Confer
With Underwood
G. R. Hutchens, one of Georgia’s del
egates-at-large to the national Demo
cratic convention in Baltimore, and the
man who headed the victorious Under
wood hosts in the presidential primary
in this state, will leave for Washington
Thursday, where he goes for a two
days preliminary conference with Mr.
Underwood and Senator Bankhead, to
gether with others deeply interested in
the nomination of the house leader for
the presidency of the United States.
Mr. Hutchens is satisfied that Under
wood. with his. eighty-odd instructed
delegates, has most excellent prospects
for the nomination, particularly in the
event of a deadlock. He and Senator
Bankhead have gone into the matter
thoroughly, and they are in agreement
upon it.
The Georgia Underwood leader wish
es to get in more close and intimate
touch with Mr. Underwood just before
the convention is called to order.

BESSIE TIFT Elffl
CAMPAIGN BEGUN
Pastors and laymen representing the
fourteen Baptist churches of Atlanta
met today at the Aragon hotel to plan
an active campaign for Bessie Tift
college, the girls' school near Atlanta,
which is trying to raise an endow
ment fund of $360,000. Actual solici
tations will begin tomorrow, and the
field workers are confident that Atlanta
will give so freely as to make up the
$150,000 balance needed.
"Atlanta has shown her famous spirit
in the ready response given to Bessie
Tift's call,” said Dr. C. H. S. Jackson,
president. "In every church where the
Bessie Tift fund was the subject of an
address yesterday, the congregation
showed. intense interest, and at infor
mal meetings held after these services
a willingness to give time and money
to the movement was readily indicated.
Prominent Baptists tell me that At
lanta will give as freely to Bessie Tift
as it did to Agnes Scott several years
ago.”
Headquarters have been opened by
the workers at 411 Atlanta National
Bank building. Yesterday was “field
day” in the Atlanta churches, when
thirteen Baptist pulpits were occupied
by friends of Bessie Tift, who ex
plained the movement to the congre
gations. The workers expect to com
plete a fund of $300,000, upon which a
gift of $60,000 from Captain H. H. H.
Tift depends. It is to be devoted to
equipping the college for educating
more Georgia girls.

PREP SCHOOLS OF
SOOTH EFFICIENT
Southern preparatory schools are no
longer deficient in manual training prepa
ration and for this reason the apprentice
class at Georgia Tech may be abolished,
according to the annual report of the
board of trustees tiled with Governor
Brown today.
The rapid Increase in manual training
facilities of Southern secondary schools
brings students to Georgia Tech well pre
pared to enter the first year without the
apprentice class probation. This condi
tion. says the annual report, has come
about in the last two years, showdng that
Southern schools are keeping abreast with
their northern rivals.
The report made to the governor by
Chairman N. E. Harris recommends that
the apprentice class be abolished. When
Tech was established, Mr. Harris says,
the student prepared in manual training
was a rarity: now he is the rule
