Under the leadership of Mrs. John M. Slaton, the new president of the as sociation, letters have been mailed ,to : scores of Atlantans believed to be in- i terested.

Notable success has been attained in the four previous seasons, but all of this is expected to be outdone this year. ALDERMAN MADDOX DEFENDS RIGHT TO HOGS IN CITY LIMITS • Aiderman J. W. Maddox today again appeared as a star in police court. This time he defended his right to raise hogs at his home, 66 Howell Mill road. The aiderman is the owner of a dozen swine which run loose in a two acre lot. The fact that this lot Is inside of the city caused Sanitary Inspector Strickland to hale the aiderman before Recorder Broyles, accused of violating the city ordinance relating to hogs. The ordinance specifies that hogs •hall not be kept in a pen within 100 vards of a residence, and the aiderman said this didn’t “touch him.” Under this ordinance, hogs can be kept anywhere in the city, the same as chickens, provided they are not penned and the premise# are kept clean BEVERIDGE SAYS PERKINS HELPED HIS 1904 CANVASS WASHINGTON, Oct. 26—Ex-Sena tor Beveridge, of Indiana, testifying be fore the Clapp committee of the United States senate, today confirmed state ments that George W.

Bets of 100 to 1 were offered today among gamblers that Jack Rose, one of the state's chief witnesses against Becker, will be as sassinated. Even money was offered that Rose will be killed ten days after he leaves jail. Ten to one that he will be killed in six months; 5 to 1 that the four gunmen will be convicted of fit st degree murder; 2 to 1 that Becker will not win his’ appeal. On the other hand, gamblers offered the same odds that Becker will not be convicted if he gets a new trial. Becker, convicted of the murder of Herman Rosenthal, will spend at least a year in the death house at Sing Sing before the execu tion of the sentence to be imposed upon him Wednesday by Judge Goff. Becker will be taken to Sing Sing immediately after sentence. He was automatically dropped from the police rolls as a result es his convicti >«, .. Appeal in the Becker ease will be filed by his attorney. John F. Mclntyre, as soon as he is sentenced. This will act as a stay of execution and it will be almost a year before final decision can be made in the case. Becker today appealed to public opinion. In an interview he denied being a grafter, and declared that his life savings and those earned by his wife during her 17 years as a public school teacher aggregate only $23,000. “I see I am credited with spending $25,000 for my defense up to date." said Becker. "That is as true as all the other things they have said against me. $25,000 is $2,000 more than I ever had or ever will possess in this life."

President Tells Ideals of the State Federation and the Work It Is Doing Wiiy is a <. mb woman'.' Mrs. H. C. White, of Athens, president of the federated women’s clubs of the state, answers the question as follows: "As president of the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs, I be lieve that the mission of the club woman is not to secure ‘woman’s rights’ or suffrage, but to help womankind in every-day things, to fit themselves and their neighbors for their responsibilities, old and new.” “Whether she will or no. the modern woman ha°, of necessity, become her sister’s keeper it may or may not add to her value as a member of her race; it may or may’ not add to her efficiency as a citizen it may or may not add to frer in dividual happiness. All this de pends upon the spirit and the man ner in which she meets the de mands upon her and the extent to which she keeps inviolate her es sentially womanly’ qualities of modesty, gentleness and conscien tious self-sacrifice. "But it certainly adds to her du ties and burdens. For —whatever may’ betide in the evolution of so ciety—woman will continue to have, as she has always had, chief part in the preservation of the in tegrity of the fundamental unit in any social system—she must be the keeper of the home of her sis ter and her brother: she must be the keeper of the children of them both. "There are some wlto believe that organized womanhood is merely engaged in a propaganda for the securing of a larger measure of wiiat are designated as Woman’s Rights. These may well excite Atlanta Athletes Will Go in for Equine Sport POLO CLUB IS PLANNED Atlanta men are planning something new in sports for the South—a polo club, with ponies, grounds and an or ganization which will include some of the best known society men and horse lovers in the city, "We have been talking it over, and while our plans are still in embryo, I believe a charter for the Dixie Polo club will be applied for soon, and we shall start with a membership of about sixteen men,” said one of the prime movers today. He asked that his name be not used, and was reticent about the proposed club, saying there were a number of reasons why publicity would be premature. A first team of eight men will be composed of prominent lovers of out door and rugged sports, according to the men behind the movement for the club. A tentative list includes Ed Al frlend. Gus Ryan, Eugene Haynes. Jo seph Brown Connally, Bowie Martin. Winship Nunnally. Clark McMichael and ft. C. Congdon. The club proposes to have a string ot' about twenty-four Montana mustangs suspicion and distrust. But—with out undervaluing the sincerity’ and the zeal with which some may feel called upon to wage battle in this cause, the vast majority of us. I am sure, prefer just now at least not to enlist actively for the fray. “We aie content to commit t« God and to our brothers the pres ervation and extension of such rights as it may seem necessary for us to possess in order that we may be better and happier women and more valuable and efficient cit izens. Besides, the performance of our clear and undisputed duties leaves us no time to spare, no en ergies to waste. Extension of our duties, our responsibilities, our power may’ best be secured by worthy performance of those al ready in our hands. “The individual woman should be better, happier, wiser, and more in telligent woman through member ship in her club. Personal culture is secured by association with oth ers. cultured or seeking culture. The extent and the great variety of the activities of our clubs looking to personal culture of the members is indicated in many eases by’ the names of the local clubs. The indi vidual woman should be a more competent and useful woman through her club associations. “As keeper of the individual home and guardian of her own children, she may learn much of value to her in her own offices from interchange of thought and expe rience with her sitters. But it is in meeting the larger responsibili ties which have cemented us and which are not individual or per sonal that the club organization demonstrates its necessity’ and proves its < ffieieney.” fer polo ponies. Some of these will be purchased from the ranches which make a specialty of training polo mounts for the big clubs in the East and the Eng lish army clubs, while others will be raw. unbroken mustangs. I'hese will be trained to follow the ball by the local enthusiasts. The management of Ponce DeLeon park has been asked to rent the grounds for polo practice, but it is said the use I of this park will be refused, as poio is an extremely rough game, and the po nies’ hoofs cut the turf badly. The park department probably will grant the use of the oval in Piedmont park for polo practice, and it is expected that the polo club win later be given the use of part of the grounds of the Athletic club’s country home or those of the Brookhaven club. Challenges will be issued to the polo eight of the St. Louis Country club and to the Chicago Polo club, it is expected, those organi zations being comparatively new in the Held.

B. Echols, a farmer, living near Easton, in the Piedmont road, arrested Thursday charged with the murder of his brother-in-law, James Thompson, was given his freedom by Justice Orr today. The warrant against him was dismissed on his plea of self-defense. Horner Thompson, son of the slain man, said that he would make no effort to have Echols indicted by the grand jury. No further action in the matter is contem plated by the authorities. Thompson quarreled with his brother in-law two weeks ago and during the al tercation struck him with a heavy hickory walking stick. Echols retaliated with a sand shovel, dealing Thompson what proved to be a fatal blow on the head. Thompson died a week later without re vealing the name of his assailant to the authorities. Echols gave himself up to the county police. COMMITTEE ASKS FOR MATERIAL TO FINISH OLD WOMEN’S HOME The building committee in charge of the large annex to the Home for Old Women has progressed as far as it can without additional gifts, and today made a public request for material to complete the work. Funds are avail able for labor, but the committee needs deadening felt, building paper, plaster, plumbing material, paint, roof paint, tin roofing and mantels. The material for the annex has been contributed by public-spirited persons and most of the building' has been com pleted. The home has long been over crowded and the annex will provide room for a number of women badly in need of such a refuge. The building committee is composed of Walter P. Andrews, H. M. Patterson and J. Lee Barnes. FORMER PASTOR WILL TALK AT NEW CHURCH Dr. J. W. Lee, pastor of St. Johns Methodist church in St. Louis, who was pastor of the Park Street Methodist Church in Atlanta two years ago, and who started the movement to build the new church, will preach there tomor row evening- at 11 o’clock. Rev. S. R. Belk is now pastor. Dr. Lee was pastor of the church for two years and was greatly loved by his congregation. WOUNDED MAN IMPROVES. THOMASVILLE, GA., Oct. 26. James L. Patterson, who was shot ten days ago by J. W. Dillon, Jr., has im proved very greatly and the attending physician states now that he sees no reason why he should not recover. Mr. Dillon is still under arrest, but nothing has as yet, been done in the matter, al though the grand jury has been in ses sion here this week. COLLEGE GIRLS ATTEND COURT. COLITMBUS, GA., Oct. 26. —A bevy of pretty girls \Hio are attending the Columbus seminary went to the court house and sat through part of a ses sion of superior court, witnessing its proceedings.

MWW w w I V • \i ’^b ,v WHISKY BLAMED 8Y JUOGE ROM McDonald. Found Guilty. Is Lectured by the Court. Flank McDonald, former waiter in a local restaurant, was today sen tenced to serve eight years in the pen itentiary for the killing of R. L. Ste vens, son of former Railroad Commis sioner O. B. Stevens, after the jury try ing his case had returned a verdict of voluntary manslaughter. Yet McDonald is at liberty today be cause of the complete faith in him held by Charles E. Thompson, the broker, who knew McDonald only as his favor ite waiter. When Judge Roan recog nized McDonald’s motion for a new trial today, Thompson came forward and agreed to sign a bond for the boy’s appearance on November 30, the date fixed by the jurist for the hearing. Shortly after the judge had agreed to hear W. M. Smith’s application for a new trial, Solicitor Dorsey consented to a bond of $3,500 for the boy. Thomp son Instantly signed it. and McDonald was released. Youth doesn t need a stimulant, youth needs cold water poured over its head every day. I am confident If there had been no liquor in this affair you would not stand before me today," said Superior Judge L. S. Roan today in sentencing McDonald. “There is altogether too much killing in this country,” continued the jurist. “If it does not cease, we will stand before the world a nation of homi cides. The records of this court in this respect are appalling. “I am confident that a man can go through life without killing another, and I am sure that if you young men had all been sober Stevens would not be in his grave today and you would not be standing before me facing a prison term.” Voluntary manslaughter was the ver dict returned by the jury' at 8:30 o’clock last night, but not rendered until court opened today. In pasisng sentence, Judge Roan said he took into consid eration McDonald’s youth, his good record and his limited education. J. D. Kilpatrick, retained by O. B. Stevens to assist the prosecution, told the court that the dead boy’s father did not seek vengeance.
