The senate had passed a bill appropriating , $5,000 for a statue to Pocahontas, spoken of in the committee’s report as i an "American Indian Princess.” Mr. . Bailey opposed the growing American , sentiment which seeks to respect the memory of those who are worthy through the erection of memorials. “If we continue to erect monuments , in this fashion,” he said, “there will be no more honpr in a memorial of this kind within a few years than there is in being a member ol the I nited States t senate.” MINUTE IS NOT ENOUGH !| TO VOTE.

TREATED HI WESLEYIKI9I2 Methodists to Make Annual Contribution to the Hospital Charity Fund Sunday. The trustees of Wesley Memorial hospital have issued their seventh an nual report, which has been placed in the hands of the pastors of the North Georgia and the South Georgia confer ences of the Methodist Church South, the hospital being conducted under the auspices of these conferences. The . pastors and Sunday school superintend ents will acquaint the members of I Methodist churches throughout the . state with the contents of the report, i and on Sunday offerings will be made lin churches and Sunday’ schools to a i fund which is used to pay, in part, for . the treatment at Wesley Memorial hos pital of those who are unable to pay. The report shows that Wesley Me morial hospital treated 954 patients during the last year, only 336 of whom • I were able to pay in full for their treat- ■ ! ment. The total cost of the charity j work was $8,642.36. That the hospital ■ | ministers to those who need treatment I without regard to creed is shown by the | fact that besides 434 Methodists and a I number of whom were members of no I church, fourteen denominations were ■ represented among the patients. Amer | leans to the number of 907 were treat led.

' ' And. so, everybody liked him, am' talked nice things when lie was out of ■ hearing, and backed him in eve ything s lie said, ami so on. ' Axson demwnsti aled the fact that it is entirely possible at college to be a rank favorite with the average ran of I students, and still not be the village cut-up and hit the toboggan for thy foot rtf the classes. 1 Axson’s only intemperance at col ' lege was in eating. He was the chain ' pion heavyweight gastronomic shark of > the university. He could eat more than "Rem" Crawford and "Lengthy” Harde i man put together- and that was going ■ some! But the culiege was proud of Axson’s eating, too! It immortalized that char acteristic in the. Pandora of 'sx. in till, elassii quatrain. I "A is for Axson A modern St, Peter: • Drinks nothing at all— But, good Lord, what an eater!" You Fee, Axson was the real goods, and everybody is glad he is a presi dent-elect’s brother-in-law.

The management, of the fair patted him on the back for calling it down, moreover, and said the violation was done in ignorance, and it hoped the state- warden would not prosecute. Mer cer said he wouldn’t do that, but that he would have to stop the sale. As a result of his act, over a hundred fine, plump quail, on toast, were given away. And while the parson may be shy a pair of Blippeis or so and necktie at Christmas because of the calling down the church fair management got, there are no hard feelings in the matter. Members of the past eight or ten Georgia legislatures will note with ap proval and interest the movement to make Joe Hill Hall mayor of Macon. Mr. Hall would, so his friends think, make a first-class mayor of any town. He is ineori uptlble, effective and cour ageous to the limit Under his guiding hand the affairs of Macon would be conducted to the entire satisfaction of. the taxpayers—there will be very little as to that in anybody's mind. He not only would provide the city with such municipal legislation us its neces sities demand, but he would—and this phase of the subject is most Important be sure to head off obnoxious or class legislation- wherever It appeared.

Governor <'liarles R. Deneen, of Illinois in his address here at the dedication of the monument to Illinois heroes of the Civil war who were prisoners at Andersonville, declared that even the passage of time could not excuse the , “cruelty which was meted out to pris oners at Andersonville.” "It is true.” said Governor Deneen, "that the conditions in the South were of such a character as might excuse the infliction of much hardship on pris oners of war. The troops under Gen yeral Lee were suffering for lack of food, . and It could hardly be expected that Northern soldiers In Southern military prisons would receive better treatment than Southern soldiers in the field. But though much might be excused on tho ground of dire necessity, there can bs : no excuse or justification for the de liberate cruelty which of set purpose was meted out to the prisoners con fined at Andersonville.” Message of Good Will. Governor Deneen received the following telegram from Mrs. Walter D. Lamar, of Macon, state president of tlie Georgia United Daughters of the Confederacy: "Gri i tings from the United Daugh ters of the Confederacy of Georgia, who rejoice that the god of battles has be come the angel of peace, with healing in his wings, pronouncing the benedic tion of tears and love for the gray, love and tears for the blue.” FURLOUGH REWARD FOR CATCHING PURSE-GRABBER KANSAS CITY, MO., Dec. 21.—" B eginning at once ten days leave of ab sence with pay will be granted each pa trolman who brings in. dead or alive, any highwayman caught,in the act of seizing a purse from a woman or hold ing up a citizen.” Tills order was is sued by Wentworth E.
