K. Smith and several other Atlantans inter ested In educational work. Miss Morris, though hardly out of her teens, has become an accomplished speak er within the past year.

Mr. Smith and several other prominent Atlantans will deliver brief addresses The members of the house and senate have been extended a special invitation to be present Mr. Smith will urge a change In the state's system of financing its public schools, through a constitution al amendment providing certain taxes for schools which shall not be diverted to other uses. AUGUSTA REGISTRATION LIST NOW BEING PURGED AUGUSTA, GA„ July 19.—Already nearly 100 names have been taken from the registry list of th? city of Augusta, W'hich was completed some time ago. Non-payment of taxes, not of sufficient age and other causes are given for the disqualification of the various voters whose names have been taken from the list. The Hayne candidates claim they were justified In withdrawing from the primary, which was to have been held on July 10, because the further purg ing of the registry list will show that there are several hundred names which should not be there. They say that fully 500 names will be taken off the list by the December election, which would have remained on the list had the primary been held July 10 as was scheduled. T. H.'S PLATFORM TO BE CONTRACT And “It Will -Be a Workable Document Between New Party of People.” OYSTER BAY, N. Y., July 19.—Colonel Roosevelt has announced that he in tends to make the forthcoming platform of the progressive party a real, workable contract between that organization and the people. He also made it known that the platform will deal extensively with 4he control of corporations and their con- I duct. Though Colonel Roosevelt had aban doned the Western trip upon which he intended going next week, he is at work getting out letters to be used in the va rious state campaigns. The ex-president is taking up the situation in the states where the fights are on to name electors and in his letters will advise ..is support ers of his views. Letters For State Campaigns. These advisory letters will be sent to Kansas, Nebraska, lowa, Indiana and other states where the fight is hottest. It is too late to get one to Michigan be fore the state convention of Saturday. Besides working on the platform Roose velt is preparing a speech to be delivered on the night of August 5, the day the third party convention opens. The speech, he said today, Is to be his “confession of faith.” In it he will deal with the indus trial problems of the day, the regulation of the the trusts and the tariff, judicial recall and the other issues that are to be prominent in the fail cam paign. Roosevelt disposed of a rumor from Washington to the effect that Senator Dixon is to drop out of the third party campaign because of lack of sympathy with it. The ex-president spoke of Dixon as one of the most ardent supporters he has and added that the senator is work ing with all his might to build up an ef fective organization. "Just now," said the colonel, "Senator Dixon is engaged in organizing the third party in Georgia." How About Deneen? Ralph C. Otis, chairman of the arrange ments committee of the third party con vention at Chicago, called upon the colonel with Day Mcßirney, another Illi nois worker. Otis told Roosevelt that the progressives are going to win Illinois next November. "How about Governor Deneen?" asked Roosevelt. "What is he going to do?” Otis replied that he believed Governor Deneen would find that he had to get into the Roosevelt camp or face defeat for re election. “Good!” exclaimed the colonel. Works Won’t Quit For Third Party Men WASHINGTON, July 19.—"1 shall not resign and I do not see that there is anything in this demand to warrant my resignation. Why should I re sign ? "These people are not even members of the Republican party—they have no right to ask my resignation.” Senator Works, of California, made this declaration today In response to demands by members of the Progres sive party in California for hfs resig nation because he declared against a third party at this time. Senator Works spent the day with a reef of telegrams in front of him ask ing him to withdraw in favor of a "real progressive." He is preparing a formal reply which he intends to make public within a day or two. Injunction Bars Roosevelt Electors NEWTON, KANS.. July 19—An in junction prohibiting county clerks from putting names of Roosevelt candidates for presidential elector on the primary ballots to be voted on August 6 has been issued by Judge Branine of the district court here. The order was asked by Republican National Committeeman Fred Staney. Backers of Colonel Roosevelt had announced that if their candidates were defeated at the pri mary the names of the electors would he put on the November ticket by pe tition. Roosevelt leaders are consider ing whether to fight the injunction, car rying the case to a higher court. Deneen to Tell Just Where He Stands SPRINGFIELD, ILL.. July 19— Gov ernor Charles S. Deneen has agreed to meet the committee of five of the new progressive party that desires to ques tion him regarding his position relative to the progressive movement. It is be lieved the conference will be held either Saturday or Monday. The committee particularly desires to ktiow whether Deneen will join the Roose velt movement or whether he will throw his support to Taft. On the result of this conference depends the question of putting a third party state ticket in the field in Illinois. “Same Delegates” to T. R.’s Convention CHICAGO, July 19. Francis J. Heney, "fighting prosecutor" of San Francisco, who was one of the floor leaders for the Roosevelt faction in the Republican con vention here tn June, asserts that practi cally the same delegates who were here at the convention will attend the new progressive convention. Heney made this statement during a brief stop in Chicago on his way from New York to the Pacific coast. "There will be few changes in the per sonnel of the California delegation at the progressive convention." he said. PREPARING FOR BAPTISTS. AUGUSTA. GA.. July 19.—The Wom an's Baptist Missionary Union of Au gusta is making arrangements to en tertain the state convention at the First Baptist chur< h here next Novem ber.

While the attend ance during the first part of the week has been large, the figures will eclipse these numbers on the closing the week. Master Gabriel and company in "Lit tle Kick,” have recorded an unusually strong hit, and Tempest &nd Sunshine with a series of pretty songs have won approval because of exceptional merit. There are five other acts and every one serves to please the theatergoers, who are most liberal with their ap plause. The comfort - of the Forsyth these days is one of the theater’s most attractive features. There is much in terest developing in the bill for next week. It is a combination of the sort of vaudeville that crowds the theater whenever offered. It will introduce two of the most distinguished enter tainers in vaudeville and two of the .most prominent musical comedy ar tists in William Rock and Maude Ful ton. Mr. Rock is a creator of dances and some of his big numbers have beep applause winners here with the high priced musical comedy combinations. Miss Fulton Is a delightful little com edienne. Arthur Deagon. a comedian of all original ideas, will be another feature, and Hoey and Lee, the famous charac ter comedians, are on the bill. Mississippi T. R. Convention July 30 JACKSON, MISS., July 19.—A call has been issued for a state convention to be held in Jackson on July 30 to nominate delegates to the Republican Progressive convention to be held in Chicago on August 5. The call indicates that Colonel Roose velt’s Bull Moose party in Mississippi will not be composed exclusively of negroes, as the regular party leaders predicted. Several white men who have been more or less prominently identified with" the party in this state in recent years have signed the call. The national committeeman of the new Progressive party for Mississippi will be Dr. S. D. Redmond, a negro phy sician and lawyer of this city, who was the most conspicuous victim of the Taft steam roller when the state convention was held in this city last March, and who succeeded in stirring up quite a fuss before the Republican national committee at Chicago.
