Members of the Atlanta Anti-Tu b, reulosis association are making strenuous efforts to raise a large cam paign fund in order to extend the work of the "social nurse.’’ The chief good done by this assocla n is accomplished through the vis nttr=e, who goes into the house -7 ,ld prepared to do any one of a thou . , :ll i things to regulate the home and - habits’of persons afflicted with tu : rcu ]osls or other diseases, for their o ’ vn benefit and for the protection of tho«e about them.

MENTION ATLANTAN AS SECRETARY TO PRESIDENT WILSON t; bert Adamson, former Atlantan ne secretary to Mayor Gaynor. of An- York, is being prominently men tioned for the post of private secretary ■■.T.en Windrow Wilson takes the oath of offl-e as president. T; . Brooklyn Eagle of recent date or.nts the tollowing dispatch from frenton. X. J., in this reference: President-elect Woodrow Wil son has not yet made up his mind about the selection of a secretary to the president, as nearly as those who :-re about him have been able to make out. It is believed that either Josejh P. Tumulty, his pres ent secretary; Rudolph Forster, now assistant secretary to Presi dent Taft: Mayor Newton D. Ba ku-, of Cleveland, or Robert Adam son of New York, Mayor Gaynor's secretary, will be selected. Mr. Adamson did some very val uable work in the campaign, at naronal headquarters, although the fact is not generally known. He appeared at the headquarters one ay when things were in rather bad shape owing to the Illness of Chair ■iii McCombs, of the national com mittee, and voluntarily "pitched in” to such good effect that he was asked to remain for the rest of the campaign. Adamson is said to have won high favor with Mc- Combs and McAdoo for this, and they are understood to have sung his praises to Wilson. In addition, Mr. Adamson is a Southerner, who is well acquaint ed with the leading men in public life In the South, as well as in the Northern states.

Georgia Baptists Are Gathering at Moultrie BIG FIGHT OVER MERCER MOULTRIE, GA., Nov. 18.—The ninety-first annual session of the Bap tist convention of Georgia convenes in Moultrie tomorrow morning. About 600 messengers have signified their inten tion of attending. Preparations have been made for their entertainment while in the city. The Moultrie concert band will meet the trains this after noon and tomorrow morning to wel come the visitors. Inspirational services will be held at the I irst Baptist church tonight. Dr. John E. White, of Atlanta, will be the principal speaker. His subject is "The Vision of a Clean City." The convention proper convenes to morrow morning at 10 o'clock. Rev. S. Y. Jameson, of Macon, president of the convention, will call the body to or der. The annual convention sermon will be preached by Dr. John F. Purser, pastor of the West End Baptist church ol Atlanta. This sermon will probably be delivered tomorrow night. Several matters of vital Interest to Georgia Baptists will come up at this convention. A committee was appoint ed last year at Rome to look Into the advisability of moving Mercer univer sity from Macon to some other city in the state. While this committee has not made public any of Its conclusions, it has gone extensively into the matter and when it makes its report before the convention a spirited fight Is expected. Another matter of Interest is the sug gested change in the Baptist board of education. This board has heretofore consisted principally of the men who AT i HE PLAYHOUSES “THE COMMON LAW" BOOKED AT THE ATLANTA TONIGHT . many instances works of fiction lose their true import when adapted for stage presentation. Not so. however, with re gard to Robert W. Chambers' successful book, “The Common Law.'' “The Common Law'' will have a hear ing at the Atlanta theater tonight,. Tues day and Wednesday, with a matinee on \\ ednesday. It enjoys the further distinction of be ing a dramatization giving In minutest detail the strongest possible essence re lating to the argument offered in defense of the marriage tie. MAUDE ADAMS WILL GIVE AN ELABORATE PRODUCTION A great deal of the eharm of “Peter Pan," In which Maude Adams is to be seen at the Atlanta, beginning Thurs day, lies in the manner in which the work is acted and staged. Barrie himself must have felt in writing his fantastical crea tion that its success would be due in no small measure to how it was done. Over done it might lose its effect entirely. With a .Scotchman's canniness he there fore left his actors little exctif** for go ing wrong. Through his i >.-• •. -script run long explanations to the p.. . describ- ing just how he wants his characters por trayed. Explicit and minute are all these directions, ami Miss Adams has always seen to it that they are carried out to the letter. The actress practically spent the entire summer in planning for the pres ent tour, putting in a great deal of her time in the selection of the people who surround her in the work. Among the players are Robert Peyton Carter, Fred Tyler. Byron Silvers. Wallace Jackson, Dorothy Dunn, Marlon Abbott and Mar garet Gorden. The company is both strong in cleverness and numbers. The production is not only a heavy, but a pic turesque, one. Seats are now selling for the engage ment. BIG BILL AT THE GRAND IS HEADED BY FROHMAN FEATURE The Grand is offering the best vaude ville that Atlanta has ever seen, and be cause of the facilities for presentation, vaudeville looks better in the big theater than anywhere it has been presented in the past The fact that the big star acts have been sent on the road, after their openings In New York, Boston, Philadel phia and Chicago, and other larger cities, means that Atlanta and the cities con l neeted in the Keith link will present the highest quality of talent from now until | the season closes. i Follow ing the splendid program of this | week, the well known stars. Juliett?), Mc- Intyre and Heath, Joseph Steager. Dinkle spiels Christman, Gus Edwards' new song revue, Edna Goodrich and other big fea tures will come in rapid succession. The bill for the week, started by mati nee this afternoon, and that will be seen at daily bargain matinees and at night all the week, is made up of some of the distinguished features of up-to-the-mo ment vaudeville. No less an important factor in theatricals than Daniel Frohman I will contribute to the bill. His “Detec tive Keen” will be the headline feature. This play was written by Percival Knight, the leading comedian of "The Quaker Girl,” and is being played by Arthur Hoops and a selected company. It is intensely Interesting, without being melo dramatic. and it is original from the first word spoken to the climax a second be fore the end. It has served as a drawing card everywhere and will find favor with Atlanta theater patrons. The return of Eddie Leonard, the holder of the attendance record at the Orpheum, after an absence of three seasons, means that a real welcome will be accorded him. The minster is tn a class by him self. ’ The Ishakawa brothers, the Japanese; Divine and Williams, the Willis family, and other stars, are on the bill. BEULAH POYNTER IS FEATURE AT THE LYRIC THIS WEEK Miss Beulah Poynter will be the at traction at the Lyric theater this week, commencing tonight, presenting '“A Ken tucky Romance'' on Monday. Tuesday matinee and night, and Wednesday night and “Lena Rivers" on Thursday matinee and nitdit, Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matintfe, by special request. , "A Kentucky Romance develops an in teresting plot of an artless girl who falls In lose with and secretly marries the son of a proud widow, who had picked another tor him. Alias Poynter Is said to captivate her audience, every one feeling an interest in this young and talented girl, who has worked so industriously and upon whom nature has bestowed so many charms. Her work in "Lena Rivers,” which served her four seasons, as a starring vehi cle, was notable. The company in support Is strong throughout and includes Stanhope Wheat croft Edwin Dale. Harvy Hays. Ted V. Armond. Sadie Steelsmith. Edwina Le vine, Mrs Wheatcroft and others. Owing to numerous requests, Miss Povnter will present on Thursday mati nee and night. Friday night and Saturday matinee and night, for five performances only, her former success, “Lena Rivers." Don’t waste your money buying strengthening plasters.

Should the change that Is contemplated be made it would disqualify the presidents or members of the faculties of the col leges from serving on the board and place these boards entirely in the hands of men who are not connected with any of the schools and, therefore, in a po sition to view the Baptist educational work as a whole. This will no doubt precipitate a sharp debate. This will be the greatest convention Moultrie has ever entertained. The state convention comprises about 2,350 churches, about 90 associations, with approximately 275,000 members. Macon Wants To Keep Mercer. MACON, GA.. Nov. 18.—Macon will send a delegation of 50 ministers and laymen to the Georgia Baptist conven tion, which meets In Moultrie tomor row.
