-“™ Georgia U.D.C.’s to Honor Heroes
Sherman’s “Hold the Fort, for I
am Coming" Is Sent by
Veteran.
OLD STATION REVIVED
Ceremonies Are Witnessed as
Prelude to Encampment of
G. A. R. at Chattanooga.
With the ting that flashed General
Sherman’s famous message of “Hold
the fort, for I am coming” to Gen
eral Corse at Allatoona Pass 50 years
agb, Lieutenant George C. Round, of
Manassas, Va., formerly of Sherman’s
signal corps, together with Pierre P.
Hurlburt, of No. 42 Grady place. At
lanta, and Major J. A. Commerford,
of Marietta, both Union veterans,
stood on the site of the old Civil War
signal station on the summit of Ken-
nesaw Mountain Saturday afternoon
and flashed the same message to an
imaginary battlefield at the pass.
Lieutenant Round is president of
the United States Veteran Signal
Corps Association, and performed
the rites of re-establishing the old
signal station used by Sherman and
considered one of the most important
of the war, as a part of the Grand
Army reunion at Chattanooga.
Mr. Hurlburt assisted him as flag
man, and Major Commerford served
as bugler. The station was re-estab
lished on the exact spot from which
General Sherman sent his famous
message\ over ^the head of Hood’s
army in the valley, to General Corse
at Rome, ordering him to proceed to
Allatoona Pass and defend the stores
of the Union army stationed at that
place.
The ceremonies of opening the sta
tion and sending the message were
witnessed by a delegation of Manet - j
ta citizens, headed by Secretary J. L.
Stringer, of the Board of Trade.
After the sending of the famous
message, Lieutenant Round flashed a i
message to the North, South, East
■•.nd West. Three of these messages I
•ere taken from the wise sayings of’
Moses, from the Book of Leviticus, J
ami were as follows:
To the North—"Then shalt thou
cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to
sound throughout your land.”
To the South—“Ye shall proclaim
liberty throughout the land unto all
the inhabitants thereof."
To the East—"Ye shall hallow the
fiftieth year: It shall be a jubilee unto
you; ye shall return every man unto
his possession.”
The message flashed to the West*
was the chorus of a song written by
Mrs. Mary Speed Mercer, of Elm City,
N. C., during the Manassas jubilee in
1911, as follows:
“America! All hail to thee!
Thanks be to Good, who made us free!
North, South, East and West, hand
clasped in hand,
United we thy children stand!”
In flashing the signals, Lieutenant j
Round used the same field glasses he
used as a signal officer during the
war, and read from the Bible he car
ried In his knapsack during the four
years of strife.
Lieutenant Round spent Saturday
night with Mr. Hurlburt at the lat-
ler’s home at No. 42 Grady place, and
leaves to-day for Chattanooga to at
tend the G. A. R. reunion.

Four Rules Laid Down to Guide
Mothers in Selecting Attend
ant for Children.
Georgia mothers, as a rule, do not
exercise sufficient care in selecting
nurses for their babies, declares the
State Board of Health, in a warning
issued Saturday describing some of
the dangers to which helpless infants
are exposed because of this negli
gence.
Too often, says the board, the
thoughtless mother employs the first
negro girl who happens to be avail
able, without inquiring at all as to
her health, moral character and intel
ligence. Such mothers forget that
the baby Is left for hours at a time
in the sole care of this nurse, and
that it may suffer permanent harm if
improperly handled, neglected or ex
posed to disease.
Four rules are laid down by the
Georgia Board of Health, by which
a girl or woman must be judged be
fore she should be employed to take
care of a baby. They are as follows:
The nurse must be healthy.
The nurse must be neat and clean
aboux her own person.
The nurse must be of good moral
character.
The nurse must have intelligence.
Don’t employ anybody to take care
of your baby unless that person comes
up to these four requirements, says
the State Board.
Mayor Announces He Will Refuse
to Sign Voucher Until Con
tract Is Met.
Wife’s War Helps
'Spooning' Crusade
Pays $15 Fine for Disturbance at
Husband's Bakery, but Ends
Flirtations Thers.
Despite the fact that she was
forced to pay a $15.75 fine in Record
er's Court Saturday for raising a dis
turbance at her husband’s bakery at
No. 251 Peachtree street, Mrs. Jamie
Zakas probably has put a stop to any
and all things which might be con
strued to be spooning in the bakery.
Mrs. Zakas charged that she saw
women enter the bakery and talk
with her husband in a way that did
not suit her. Zakas denied the charge,
saying the women were ordinary
customers.
Declaring that the methods of the
Destructor Company of New York,
which is building the new crematory,
was a “stall” and that he would re
fuse absolutely to sign a voucher for
the payment of the $135,000 still due
until the plant had been turned over
to the city and an average test of the
capacity made. Mayor James G.
Woodward Saturday night renewed
the old crematory fight.
The Mayor’s statement followed
fast on the heels of the statement of
Councilman Claude L. Ashley, chair
man of the Council Sanitary Com
mittee, who declared Saturday he was
convinced that the city was being
robbed by the contract with the De
structor Company. The Councilman’s
criticism of the plant was inspired by
the belief that it will not come up to
the contract specifications.
Mayor Woodward's criticism of the
plant was as sharp as that of Ash
ley.
“I am convinced that the company
is stalling now in order to put off the
test as long as possible,” said the
Mayor. “But that stall won’t go, for
I am going to insist on an average
test after the plant has been turned
over to the city. In fact, I am not
going to sign the voucher for that
$135,000 which we still owe them un
til the contract has been carried out
to the letter.
“1 still contend that we have made
a bad bargain, for we are paying
$276,000 for a 250-ton plant, whereas
Milwaukee h;uj a 300-ton plant which
cost only $210.000. If I could have
received some support in my orig
inal fight we could have a fully-
equipped crematory plant at a cost
of only $108,000.”
According to the Mayor, the De
structor Company is paying $25 per
day forfeiture dating from August 15,
when, it Is claimed, the plant should
have been completed.

Strangers Dig Up Three Boxes
and Negro Finds Pistol of
Revolutionary Days.
BRUNS WICK,, Sept. 13.—A myi-
tery comes to this city bordering on
i one of the treasure stories of Cap
tain Kidd, and as a result Dr. W. B.
1 Burroughs is in possession of an
old flint and steel pistol of the type
used in the Revolutionary War.
A few days ago John Edwards, a
j negro, was at Ht. Marys, and while
there a party of strangers engagjJ
him to take them to Talbots Island,
which is near Fernandina. When tha
party reached the Island, they landed
and instructed Edwards to wait oa
the shore until they returned. The
strangers cam© back in two hours ami
had in their possession three boxes.
After h« had taken his paasengera
hack to s*t. Marys, Edwards returned
to the Island. He searched about the
place and found three square holes,
out of which the boxes had been lift
ed. In one of the sinks he found tho
pistol.
Yesterday the negro came to Bruns
wick and showed the relic to I>r. Bur
roughs, who, being a collector of war
time guns, purchased it. It is ba
lleved the boxes the strangers carried
from the island contained treasure
or were valuables buried there during
the Civil War by residents of St.
Marys or Fernandina. The island i*
I not Inhabited, and it Is thought f he
i men had learned of the burial of th*»
i boxes by some of their ancestors. No
^ other solution was offered, as none
! of the party has ever been heard from
or seen since that time by the ne-
?ro.

Americans' Absence
Stuns Hotel Keepers
August Is Disastrous to Both Boni
faces and Tradesmen In South
ern Germany.
Special Cable to The American.
BERLIN, Sept. 13.—The hotel keep
ers and tradesmen in certain quar
ters of South Germany are dismayed
by the marked decrease in American
tourist traffic; August was almost
disastrous to them.
The Munich hotel proprietors were
hit hardest and are complaining
loudly. This loss of American pa
tronage is due largely, it is said, to
the agitation by certain Americans
in Munich against the systematic ex
ploitation to which travelers are sub
jected in that city. Experienced tour
ists, tired of paying double prices for
everything, are shunning Munich and
going to Berlin and other North Gei-
man cities.
Mrs. J. K. Ottiey, director of Geor
gia for the Shiloh Monument Fund,
United Daughters of the Confeder
acy, is In Tennessee with the presi
dent general of the Shiloh Monument
Association to select a suitable site
for the monument the association is
about to erect to commemorate the
heroism of the Confederate soldiers
who fought in the memorable en
counter which lasted two days at
Pittsburg Landing.
For several years the Confederate
Daughters have been directing Home
of their time and money toward the
proposed monument, and each State
has had its Shiloh director, who has
spoken before the various chapters
of the Daughters of the Confederacy
and worked for the fund.
The Atlanta Chapter pledged $50
last year to the fund, which peldge
wan met in the spring. Thirty-nine
other U. D. C. chapters have con
tributed to the monument fund from
Georgia.
Shiloh Day was observed with Mrs
J. K. Ottiey as chairman on April
6, at which time a beautiful literary
and musical program was rendered
in the Woman’s Club. At that time
•papers were read from the president
of the Mississippi Division, from Mrs.
Battle, a prominent Daughter of the
Confederacy of Texas, and a group
of poems read by Mrs. Elizabeth Fry
Page, the poet laureate of the Ten
nessee Division.
The monument will be erected in
the Shiloh National Military Park,
near Pittsburg Landing, on the Ten
nessee River, and will be one of the
handsomest monuments among the
many the Daughters of the Confed
eracy have erected to the Confed
erate soldiers.
Mrs. Ottiey is the guest of the
president general of the Shiloh Mon
ument Association in Tennessee and
will spend several days in that State
before returning to Atlanta.

E. M. HOLLEYMAN DEAD.
E. M. Holleyman. of Decatur, Ga.,
died in Asheville, N. C, Saturday aft
ernoon Funeral arrangements will
be announced later.
Made despondent by the pitiful tone
of a letter he received from his wife,
j Charles F. Vick, a "trusty” prisoner
in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary,
1 ran away Saturday afternoon when
I he was sent outside the walls in
charge of a cartload of farm produce.
Within a few hours, however, he
| was caught near Henrico, a small
station on the Southern Railway sev
eral miles south of the prison, by a
Mr. Clarke, who volunteered his serv
ices to Warden W. H. Moyer in pur
suing the fugitive.
Vick had not doffed his prison
clothes and was easily detected. He
made no resistance. Vick was sent
here from Richmond, Va., on the
charge of robbing a postoffice.
GRAY HAIR TURNS ITS NATURAL
COLOR AFTER APPLYING SAGE TEA
Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens
Beautifully and Takes Off
Dandruff.
Almost everyone knows that
Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly
compounded, brings back the nat
ural color and luster to the nair
when faded, streaked or gray; also
cures dandruff, itching scalp and
stops falling hair. Years ago the
only way to get this mixture was to
make It at home, which is mussy
and troublesome.
Nowadays skilled chemists do
this better than ourselves. By ask
ing at any drug store for the
readv-to-use product—called "Wy
eth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy”—you will get a large bottle for
about 50 cents. Some druggists
make their own, but it’s usually
too sticky, So insist upon getting
"Wyeth's.’’ which can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair, and is the best
remedy* for dandruff, dry, feverish,
itchy scalp and to stop falling hatr.
Folks like “Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur” because no one can pos
sibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly, says a well-known down
town druggist. You dampen a
sponge or soft brush and draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. This requires
but a few moments, by morning the
gray hair disappears and after an
other application or two is re-
I stored to its natural color and looks
I even more beautiful and glossy than
ever.
