1 Jack Wilson Dies as He Chats With Friends
1 FUNERAL AT MIDNIGHT
: Jack Wilson is death The end tame
as he vvouhl have chosen it, had lie
been given a choice —in the midst of
his friends, with the tinkle of glasses
in his cars, the click of billiard balls
echoing from the loom next door. He
was sitting with a party of boon com
panions in the Tiansportation club late
last night when suddenly he slipped
■ from his chair to the floor Erlends
tried to raise him, but a second look at
his face told the story, and they softly
let him down and composed his limbs
sot the sleep which lias no end. Heart
disease had snuffed out Jack Wilson's
life in a second. He died vyith the old
smile on his lip- and love for all the
world in hi- heart And no man in At
lanta could be mourned more sin
ee, ely.

Atlanta had no better friend than
Jack Wilson Since he built up a com
fortable fortune anil sold the old Stag
hotel, he had traveled almost con
stantly. Witli Eorrest Adair or other
friends be had cro-sed the continent
several times, had toured the far South
and the Canadian woods. Always he
came hack with the same old story;
"Believe me, boys; there's no place
like Atlanta. I'd rather be a hitching
post at home than the whole public
square in I.os Angeles or Chicago. I've
been homesick ever since I left."

Jack Morton Wilson to give him his
full name was a Canadian, born at
Bellville, Ontario, 55 years ago. in his
boyhood lie spent several years in the
Southwest, the border country of Tex
as, in the days when there were real
cowboys and real bad men. He came
to Atlanta about 25 years ago, and had
been an Atlantan ever since.
Wilson came to Atlanta a champion
billiard player, and was made mana
ger of the old Kimball house billiard
room. Then he and George Case
opened pallors of their own in Decatur
street. Case died suddenly a few years
igo. About fifteen yars ago Wilson
leased the Stag hotel and billiard room
at Peaehltee anti Walton street e vvhii h
he conducted until two years ago. when

It Is a legend of Atlanta that but one
woman ever spent a night in the Stag,
and -he was the sister of an unfortu
nate traveling man who was stricken |
by fatal illness in the hotel and could]
not be removed. The rule of the house
was broken to permit her to nurse her
dying brother.
About three years, ago Mrs. Wilson
died, and Jack Wilson was left without
a relative south of Canada, exv ept for
one little niece whom he was educat
ing in a convent school In Xew ot

His devotion to little Helen now

child for a long trip to the Paeifi.
coast or the Canadian country, and he
lavished upon her everything a little
girl could possibly find use for.
A party of friends went to Wilson’s
room in an Auburn avenue apartment
house to search among his effects sot

A Store Full of STANDArF
Merchandise
It is not of so much interest that this store is
filled with merchandise. Mere quantity does not
count for much. Any store with equal cash or
credit could buy as much.
What does count is the quality, the standard
grade and the style of merchandise here.
It takes more than cash or credit can give to
fill a store with such merchandise as this one is
filled with.
It takes knowledge and experience and hard
work and a wonderfully developed bump of dis
crimination.
But it is all worth while—-every extra effort
that brings down a price, or that shoves quality
up a notch and leaves the price alone—for it is
appreciated. The crowds that are coming these
days are finding what they want and what the
fashions dictate.
Come and look about you. Stroll through
the different departments. Try our claims out,
satisfy yourself. Yes, satisfy yourself; that is the
only claim we have to your patronage, and we
willingly leave it at that—that these big, gener
ous, wholesome stocks are the worthy merchan
dise that the women of Atlanta want.
The Glorious Silks
In the days when none but royalty was allowed to wear
silks, queens never had such gorgeous and glorious silks as
YOU may have this season..
And all the wealth ot this season's weaving and dyeing is
here! It is a display of silks that sets a new mark for Atlanta;
a display that would be interesting if only its impersonal, ar
tistic merits were to be considered, if you viewed it only as an
exhibition ot wonderful colorings and intricate, fascinating
patterns---but it has a very personal meaning to the women of
Atlanta---it means charming street dresses, lovely afternoon
I rocks and beautiful evening gowns---the most charming, the
most lovely and the most beautiful the feminine mind could
conjure up.
By name, these silks are plain charmeuses in black and
white and colors, brocaded charmeuses, satin crepe meteors,
crepe de chines, uncut velvets and corded silks that change
their colors as the light plays on themjehiffon velvets,embossed
velvets, silk plushes and velveteens.
But the names do not describe! See them!

Rumor That Titles of State Ed
ucation Board Will Be At
tacked Again Current.
Despite the fact that Professor Lang
ston has declined positively to contest
Governor Brown’s state board of edu
cation appointees, and that Professor
Pound has indicated no disposition to
pursue the matter further, there is a
well defined and apparently authenti
cated rumor abroad that the titles of
Professor Moon and Professor Glenn
will be questioned in the courts.
A well known Atlanta attorney, said
to be close to Senator Hoke Smith, is
reported to have interested himself in
the matter and to have caused to be
made recently a quiet investigation of
certain records at the eapitol that
might have a bearing on the case,
witli a \ iew to attacking the commis
sions of Glenn and Moon.
Whether Professor Pound will be
made a party to this nev; attack is not
certain, but it is sure that Professor
Langston will not.
If the newly rumored attack upon
Moon and Glenn does materialize, it
will be taken by many to mean that
there is much more than mere faction
al Hoke Smith and "Little Joe" politics
bMtind the movement, and that some
thing else than the question of whether
Smith's or Brown's appointments shall
stand is involved.
