from all accounts, Czar Ferdinand

Wedding Garments of
70 Years Ago Become
Aged Woman's Shroud
Body of Mrs. Betsy Patterson
Buried in Casket She Had
Made 30 Years.
MOULTRIE, GA., Nov. 14.—Shroud
ed in her wedding trousseau of 70

which she had the lumber sawed from
a cypress tree growing on her farm 30
years ago, the body- of Mrs. Betsy Pat
terson has just been buried at Sandy
Bluff cemetery, near Nashville, in Ber
rien county.
Mrs. Patterson died at her old home
; stead near Sparks, where she had re
sided continuously for 50 years. She
was nearly 90 years old, and was well
known throughout Berrien county. Her
more intimate acquaintances reverently
called her ‘‘Aunt Betsy.”
For three score and ten years—the
allotted span of life—Mrs. Patterson
had carefully preserved the garments
i she wore when a happy- young bride in
her teens. It was her often expressed
wish that upon her death these gar
ments should constitute her shroud,
and relatives and friends in charge of
her funeral acceded to this desire.
QUIT LOCKER CLUB
IF YOU’D QUIT DRINK.
RECORDER ADVISES
If you are a drinker and want to quit
drinking, first quit your locker club.
This is the advice of Recorder
Broyles.
When Hunter Widgeon, a carpenter,
appeared in police court today charged
with being drunk, he asked Judge
Broyles to place him on probation and
give him another chance, declaring he
was ready to quit liquor forever. The
recorder asked him where he obtained
the liquor that made him drunk.
“At a locker club, your honor.” sqid
Widgeon.
The court imposed a fine of $5.75.
“Quit your club first, and then talk
to me about putting you on probation,”
he said. “No man can quit drinking
liquor as long as he belongs to one of
these locker clubs,”

FARM EXPERTS
HDLOAJUBILEE
Celebrate Fiftieth Anniversary
of a National Agricultural
Department.
More than JSO representatives of the
administrative departments of state ag
ricultural colleges and experiment sta
tions are holding a jubilee in Atlanta
today. The celebration is commemo
rative of the establishment of the Fed
eral department of agriculture and the
pussage of the Morrill land grunt acts
of 1862. which virtually made ever?
state agricultural school in the United
States.
It was just fifty years ago that scien
tific agricultural development in Amer
ica received its greatest impetus, when
the Federal government offered the
states liberal appropriations for the es
tablishment of -tate schools. Twenty
five years later congress passed the
Hatch act. which made possible the es
tablishment of the state experiment
stations.
It is the anniversary of the two—■
the fiftieth anniversary of one and the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the other—
that the members of the Association of
American .Agricultural Colleges and
Kxperinient Stations gathered to cele
brate at the Piedmont hotel at 9 o'clock
this morning. Sixty-seven representa
tives of state and dependency colleges,
50 representatives of experiment sta
tions are in attendance at a two days
convention.
Today’s program was featured by Dr
A. C. True. Federal head of the state
experiment stations; W. O. Thompson,
president of the Ohio State university,

Primary Victor Home Today
Preparations Are Being Made I
to Begin Crematory.
i
A climax in the crematory fight Htl
expected today when James G. Wood-el
ward, mayoralty nominee, returns t<A
the city and announces his program oti
opposition to the destruction of th«
old plant.
He will reach Atlanta from New Yor<,
today, but he has not made known to®
train on which he will arrive.
Scant information received by the aJ-«
lies of Mr. Woodward since he left ot®
his mysterious trip indicates that h«
will have some sensational facts to dis
close. One of the first places he vis-,
ited was Milwaukee, where the De
structor Company, which has the con
tract to build Atlanta’s $276,000 plant,
erected a similar plant.
To Rush Work in
Spite of Woodward.
Mr. Woodward clearly showed that
he was not pleased with the Milwaukee
plant when he wired Aiderman Van-
Dyke that Atlanta’s contract with the
company would never be carried out.
Unless Mr. Woodward can develop
some very important new facts on this
contract, the construction of the new
plant will be well under way before
he takes his seat as mayor.
The members of the board of health
declare that Mr. Woodward would not
dare repudiate the city’s moral obli
gation and refuse to sign a check for
the payment on the plant next year,
after work on it was under way.
Excavation Work
Begins Tomorrow.
Chief Jentzen, of the sanitary depart
ment, will begin the excavation work
around the old plant tomorrow. The
aldermanic board is expected to ordev
its razing next Thursday.
The Destructor Company is very
anxious to get to work, and before two,
weeks the building of the $276,000 gar
bage plant will be progressing rapidly
—unless Mr. Woodward is able to up-; -
set all the present plans with infor
mation he has collected in the East.
