question at a later date.

Old Point Comfort for their homes In
different parts of the country, follow
ing one of the most Interesting conven
tions they have ever held. More than
100 delegates were in attendance, and to '

lege gleefulness Into the somewhat .
staid and dignified surroundings of that { '
fashionable resort puts ft mildly. Sing
ing fraternity songs at midnight on the
terrace might not appeal to the usual ,
tourist that frequents the Chamberlin, |
but on 'this occasion the guests looked
on with smiling indulgence at the en
thusiasm and vivacity of the conven
tion girls.
One of the features of the meeting
war the presentation of a silver loving
cup to Dr. May Agnes Hopkins, of ,
Galveston, Texas, president of the so- ,
dety.

A Summer Sale of Blankets
In Which The Actual Savings Are One Fonrtli
to OncTliird Winter Prices
Our only reason for exploiting a sale of blankets right now in the
heat of summer is based on the actual service we can do our customers.
When we say that this sale brings savings of one-fourth
and one-third regular winter prices, we speak advisedly. We are
putting in print, that all may read, what you will find in reality when
you visit the blanket department.
And in this day and time when household necessities are offered
at such savings, thrifty and smart housekeepers are not slow in fol
lowing up the opportunity.
The sale covers the blanket question in a broad, wholesome fash
ion. It offers blankets in practically every size and in all good qualities.
The prices are so small because—
—There are a number of blankets that came to us as samples. They
have been included and marked with no idea of profit—they are one
of a kind.
—There are others, small lots of two, three and four that remained
from our winter stocks. And you who bought then are in a good po
sition to judge for yourselves how worth-while are the savings of this
sale.
—There are still other blankets that have become soiled to the
extent that we would not offer them as perfectly fresh. These have
been subjected to the greatest reductions of all.
From your viewpoint a very happy combination of conditions has
made the prices.
Think now of your next winter needs and when blanket time
comes you will appreciate the opportunity that this store now offers.
The sale starts when the store opens tomorrow at 8 o’clock.
Besides the regulation blankets you will find
Porch Blankets at $1.50 and $1.95
These days, when the call of out
door sleeping is heard by so many
light weight blankets are in great
demand. But regardless of de
mand this sale brings them at a
saving. They are cotton, of a
weight that keeps out the chill and
in the colors that will not quickly
soil—tan, brown, red, blue and gray.

LEGISLATURE WILL
CLEAR REALTY TITLE
CLOUDED 30 YEARS
After the elapse of 30 years the Geor
gia legislature will officially ratify an
action of the late Governor Alfred Col
quitt to remove a cloud from the title to
property formerly belonging to the state
but long since passed to the heirs of the
Brown estate.
The property Is the centrally located
Decatur street plat, two-thirds of an
equity in which was recently bequeathed
to Georgia Tech by the late Julius Brown,
brother of the governor. One-third inter
est in the property rests with the gov
ernor. #
In 1882 Governor Colquitt authorized
the sale of the Decatur street lot to Ju
lius Brown and the transfer was made.
Since the bequest to Georgia Tech it has
been discovered that the legislature
never ratified Governor Colquitt’s action
Senator Roberts today introduced a
resolution asking affirmation.

DIXIE GOVERNORS AND
SOIL COMMISSIONERS
TO MEET IN ATLANTA
Seven governors of leading Southern
states and as many more commisison
ers of agriculture will meet in Atlanta,!
Friday to determine effective method. ‘
for marketing the South’s cotton crop

tion of responding to Governor Brown’s
call are: Governor Mann, of Virginia
Governor Kitchin, of North Carolina-
Governor O'Neal, of Alabama; Govi
ernor Cruce, of Oklahoma; Governor i
Colquitt, of Texas, and Senator E. D
Smith.
George Dole Wadley, of Maron, will
lay before the governors the plan of
the Southern States Cotton Corpora
tion for obtaining for the farmer a profit
for his cotton. Mr. Wadley declares
that the Southern farmer in selling his;
cotton for 10 cents has been losing •>'
cents a pound.
It 1s the belief of the governors that
the whole scheme of cotton sales has
been haphazard and unsystematic.
