RISKS DIPLOMA
TO AID COMRADE
Student Helping a Classmate
Called by Death Message
Nearly Misses Degree.
That a rlassmate might reach home
in time for his mother's funerej, Hil
liard Spalding, of Atlanta, a graduate
in the University of Georgia law ciass
of 1912, risked the chance of missing
the graduation exercises In order to
take his friend in an automobile to At
lanta, where connections could be made.
His return trip to Athens was made
alone, and young Spalding reached the
campus barely in time to throw a cap
and gown over his dust ridden garments
and receive a degree.
His ascension to the chapel stage was
a signal for a loud burst of applause.
James E. English, a member of the
graduating law class, received news
early yesterday morning that his moth
er had been burned to death in the
Waycross fire. The news came too late,
however, for him to make train connec
tions. He was in despair.
Makes Record Trip.
Young Spalding came to the rescue.
His big new Thomas Flyer was soon
ready for the trip, and the journey
through the country was probably the
fastest time ever made between the
two places. English made his train all
right, and without waiting a moment
Spalding started back to Athens, hav
ing only a short time in which to make
the trip. But he reached here all right,
getting to the university chapel just as
Chancellor Barrow called his name to
receiw his diploma from the law de
partment of the university. He wa*
hastily put into a cap and gown, with
out even having time to wash up. and
all tired and dirty, his appearance on
the stage was the signal for the big
gest round of applause of the day, as
practically the whole audience knew
of his feat.
By special permission of the board of
trustees, English was awarded his di
ploma. even if he was prevented from
being here to receive it, and Chancellor
Harrow announced that it would be
sent to him. He had only the day be
fore represented his department at the
commencement exercises, and was en
joying the law class dance when he re
ceived the sad news.

CITY BOARDS NOT
TO BE REDUCED
Amendments Committee Urges
Present System Be Kept Till
After Financial Probe.
Atlanta's big city boards, eleven
members each, will remain for another
year, in spite of the council’s resolution
a year ago virtually. pledging a reduc
tion to five members. The committee
on charter amendmepts voted not to
recommend the reduction of boards to
five members each, taking the position
that as the Chamber of Commerce was
soon to begin an expert investigation
of the city government it would be best
to await the expert's report before
making any change in the existing sys
tem.
Alderman Candler introduced the
resolution looking to an amendment
reducing thy boards, and it is said
nearly every member of the committee
favored such a reduction ultimately.
If the amendment is not obtained at
the coming session of the legislature,
it must wait at least until next sum
mer.
The council adopted a resolution last
June, while the cdmmlssion govern
ment agitation was at its height, which
placed that body on record as favoring
a smaller council, a smaller board of
aidermen. the wiping out of ward lines
and .the reduction of all city boards to
five members, one from each of five al
dermanic districts to be created.
This was regarded as a concession to
opponents of the existing system,
which would so placate them as to de
feat the new charter movement.
The charter movement nas defeated,
but the action of the committee, which
will be followed up by the council this
afternoon, leaves the boards unchanged
for another year at least.
CONNALLY IS VICTOR
OVER PENDLETON IN
GAME OF MARBLES
Marble hostilities ceased 65
years ago were taken up yesterday aft.
ernoon at the Second Baptist church
picnic held at Mount Gilead, by Judge
John T. Pendleton and Dr. E. L. Con
nally. The two got on their knees and
shot, seven games. »
Dr. Connally won six out of seven.
Judge Pendleton immediately accused
him of having hung a horse shoe
around his neck before beginning. One
of the younger generation interrupted,
however, with the statement that Dr.
Connally's skill was little short of mar
velous.
“Judge. I have considerable misgiv
ings about this game,” said Dr. Con
nally before the start of the match.
“I understand that you practiced it
only 40 years ago, and it seems that 1
am handicapped.”
“The last time I played marbles at
Mount Gilead.” added Dr. Connally,
"was 65 years ago.”
KITCHIN-SIMMONS FIGHT
CENTERING AT CHARLOTTE
CHARLOTTE. N. C„ June 29.—The cen
ter of the Kltchin-Simmons fight for the
United States senatorshlp from North
Carolina will be waged around Mecklen
burg county.
The candidacy of Governor «W- W.
Kitchin, who is completing his first rerm
as governor is now well established and
both men have the state thoroughly or
ganized by their followers.
The main fight on Senator Simmons, the
Incumbent, as alleged by the opposition,
is that he ha s'departed from the old and
tried ways of Democracy and has leaned
too strongly towards high tariff and Re
publicanism.
Chief Justice Walter Clark, of the state
supreme court, is the third candidate in
the race.
TRAIN DISPATCHERS
PROTEST 8-HOUR LAW
LOUISVILLE KT., June 20.—The
National Association of Train Dis
patchers, in session here, appointed a
committee to go to Washington to pro
test against the passage of the bill
pending before congress which says
that no employee of a railroad can
handle messages more than eight hours
in twenty-four. The present law, with
a ten-hour lay-over after a maximum
of sixteen hours work. Is satisfactory,
they say.
