NEW SCHOOL AT FORSYTH.
FORSYTH.—Preparations are be
ing made fr*” the opening of Banks
Stephens Institute, the local high
school, on September 1. Professor J.
R. Campbell, of Jonesboro, the new’
principal, is already here. The new
$30,000 ^school building is completed.
With virtually all of the important
general bills signed in more than
twelve hours of hard work Tuesday,
Governor Slaton started to wofk early
Wednesday morning with about a
hundred local bills on his desk that
must be signed by midnight to-night.
Among the important measures
that received the official signature
and became laws Tuesday were the
general appropriations bill, the irtner-
itance tax bill, the bill establishing a
home for wayward girls, the perma
nent registration bill, the- medical
practices act, the bill inc~\ 'sing the
occupation tax on corporal Ai, and
the “blue sky” law relating to the
sale of stocks and bonds.
By signing the wayward home girls'
bill the Governor effectually disposed
of the rumor that he intended to
veto the measure. The basis of the
report, it is understood, w’as the
Governor’s antipathy to signing any
bill that would increase the appro
priations while it made no provision
for increasing the revenues propor
tionately.
Telegrams Flood Office.
Tuesday Governor Slaton received
between seventy-five and one hundred
telegrams from individuals and or
ganizations. urging him to sign the
bill, which doubtless influenced him
to a certain extent, together with the
new report that tax returns showed
an increase in taxable values of sev
eral millions of dollars.
The appointment of a committee of
two men and one woman to have
charge of the home probably will not
be announced until Governor Slaton
returns from Colorado Springs, where
he w’ill attend the conference of Gov
ernors w’hich will be held there four
days beginning next Tuesday. He
will be accompanied by Mrs. Slaton,
Colonel Frederic J. Paxon, chief of
staff, and Mrs. Paxon. The party will
leave Atlanta Saturday and expect to
arrive in Colorado Springs Monday.
The conference next week promises
to be the greatest gathering of Gov
ernors ever held in the United States.
Forty-six out of the forty-eight Gov
ernors of the Union have declared
they will be present.
Great Welcome Promised.
Governor Ammons, of Colorado,
and Mayor McKesson, of Colorado
Springs, will welcome the visitors, 1
and Governor Spry, of Utah, w’ill re
spond to the greetings. The perma
nent organization will then be effect
ed, and in the evening the Governors
and their wives will be guests at a re
ception given by Mrs. Ammons, wife
of the Governor of Colorado.
Wednesday the official sessions of
the conference will begin, and will
continue until Saturday evening.
Among the speakers will be Governors
Cruce, of Oklahoma; Lister, of Wash
ington; O’Neal, of Alabama; Hunt,
of Arizona: Hodges, of Kansas;
Dunne, of Illinois; Baldwin, of Con
necticut, and) Carey, of Wyoming.

The August Outclearing
of Laces
Gets Under Way at 9 o’Clock To=morrow
Valenciennes, Linen, Shadow and Venise Laces—
Huge Quantities at Huge Reductions.
The August outclearing of laces at Chamberlin-Johnson-
DuBose Co.’s lias come to mean for many the time to purchase
those dozens and dozens of yards of laces that a woman needs as
a new season approaches.
Perhaps at no other time are laces marked at such saving
prices. This because we are discarding one pattern and another,
clearing out all odd surpluses, making ready for the new stocks,
in short, starting afresh with the new season.
So, in light of the prices bel »w and the fact that there are
new dresses and underwear to be made and (not to be over
looked) that the Christmas saving will doubtless be under way
a long while before another such lace sale is announced, take the
profit of this sale as your own.
Here—

Included are edges and insertions of Cluny, Torchon and Smyrna
laces—and they are all linen, sturdy and true, the kinds that make many
* successful round trips to the laundry.
And gathered into the sale is an odd and comparatively
small lot of Venise edges and bands. The price tickets show
they were worth up to 35c a yard. Now they are 8c a yd.
A Little Notice of Big Savings
In the Wash Goods Department
This is the smallest advertisement we have published this season on
wash fabrics and it tells of the greatest savings, as those who heed it
shall learn. The blue pencil man has gathered together all the oddments
of wash fabrics for quick disposal. We say quick because there are 25c
and 29c white checked and striped voiles at 9c a yard, and 25c piques at
9c, 45c silk and cotton marquisettes at lie, 25c; white repps at 12V'2C,
again 29c voiles at 15c, and 65c Swisses at 15c, and other values, very
much greater, that we would rather you see in the store than in an ad
vertisement. They would seem incredible here. No, they are not per
fectly fresh, they have been handled, the shades are not always the best,
but it has been many a day since v »u were offered such values.
