K I HBARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN. ATLANTA, Cl A . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER Slayer Spencer Is To Hang on Dec. 19; Talks Hour in Court Prisoner Roughly Addrettes Judge on Rexroat Killing Without Ad mitting or Denying Guilt. Dr. Thorn well Jacobs Will Give His h inal I nstructions to Committee at Westminster Church To-day—Suc cess of Plan for University Assured. Sunday—the day of rest before la bor; the labor for;- Old Oglethorpe and a New Oglethorpe In one; one of the great undertakings In Atlanta’s history. 9 Prepared by a whirlwind meeting Saturday, the Committee of One Hundred is reining Sunday for the last time until th* "quarter-of-a - million fund” is iraUsed. and the re founding of Oglethyorpe University in Atlanta is assured. Monday will hear the call to arms, and twenty working committees, headed by born fighters, will be on the firing line, In the full onfall of the campaign. And the rest of Sundjiy will not be the rest of idleness. Through the Sabbath quiet Is the strong strain of earnest thought and planning; for the cause is not one to be side tracked on the Seventh Day. Thornwell Jacob® to Speak. Out at Westminster Presbyterian Church, Thornwell Jacobs will speak at 11 o’clock on the whole hope and aim and end of Oglethorpe Univer sity. No man knoovs the work as he does. A great part of his busy life is wrapped up in it. And he will tell the whole story of Oglethorpe, and rehearse all the placns for its re founding. There is sure to be a great con gregation to hear Mr. Jacobs. For one thing the twenty committee chairmen and their hundred members will want to be there for the benefit of the instructions they will receive concerning the plans for the work, ‘instructions” isn't just the word for it, either; the instructions were given Saturday, when the committees were formed and accepted their service. What the committees are most likely to get. and the congregation, too, for that matter, is a touch of the fire that has warmed Mr. Jacobs and his helpers to the task when the- outlook was cold and gloomy. It looks rosy indeed, now. When Mr. Jacobs looked owt over that gathering in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce Saturday, he exclaimed; “Look at that bunch of men! How on earth could they fail in anything they undertook? I would trust them Watch Yoor Pimples Go Away Then Feel the Ecstasy of Delight When Your Complexion Is Made Perfect By Stuart’s Calcium Wafers. Don't worry about your pimples. Stop /hat heartache and regret. Just make up your mind that you are going to use Stuart's Calcium Wafer®, and make pim ples vanish to put over anything in the world.” Purpose To Be Explained. So Mr. Jacobs is going to explain it all over again to the congregation at Westminster, and tell them how he was able to mise almost $300,000, single-handed, and how 70 Atlantans came forward with a thousand dol lars apiece, and how the beautiful site at Silver Lake came to be of fered, and all the rest of it. And particularly Mr. Jacobs is go ing to explain that while Oglethorpe University is to be a Presbyterian university, it is in no way to smack of sectarianism. "I can’t make that too plain,” Mr. Jacobs said Saturday. “Perhaps the best way to put it is thus: "Oglethorpe University is to be un der the auspices of the Presbyterian church, but NOT under ecclesiasti cal control. The governing board will be widely diversified, and will repre sent truly all the South.” So it is with this assurance, and the word that 70 Presbyterians in Atlanta set the pace with not less than $1,000 each in the way of sub- ecrlptions, that all the people of At lanta will be asked by the commit tees to subscribe to this great proj ect. It is understood that "preferred attention” is to be given to the 1,700 Atlantans whose names appear on the six-year-old list of subscribers w’ho so readily gave their word for $200,000 for that former project that failed—failed not through any short coming of , the generous ones who pledged their support. Revive Old Subscriptions. The idea is that each subcommit tee, with 120 names from the old list, will acquaint them thoroughlv with the new project, show them its im mense possibilities, and its certainty of suecess, and th^i seek to "revive” that former subscription—and pref erably to double if. "Atlanta is far richer, and Atlan tans are far richer, than they were six years ago,” was the wisdom of the meeting Saturday; and that is to be the watchword of the campaign. There was the little community of Chamblee, a dozen miles out on the Peachtree road. Chamblee has only a hundred inhabitants, counting them all—men. women and children. Yet ChamJblee has given to the fund al ready $3,200—if Atlanta gave as much in proportion the total would reach beyond $6,000,000. Mr. Jacobs in his tour of the South spoke from 43*platforms in ten States and not once did he fail to gain at least one subscription of $1,000. "And when I saw how those towns and cities, with nothing to gain in trinsically from the project, rallied to its support, 4 ' said Mr. Jacobs, “I said to myself, ‘Atlanta never will turn Oglethorpe down now.’ And I know now that that conviction was inspired like a prophecy of old.” Work Begins Monday. Bright and early Monday morning the subdivisions of the Committee of One Hundred will be at work. At 12:30 o'clock the members will meet for luncheon—and for further dis cussion of ways and means—on the second floor of the Piedmont Hotel, and that plan will obtain through all the campaign. “Nothing like combining business with luncheon,” was the sentiment of the meeting Saturday. And the “pros pects” will be brought along, and fed, and given more and more reasons for subscribing to Oglethorpe, until they eventually do subscribe—which Is just what the Committee of One Hundred seeks to achieve through out all the city of Atlanta. The idea is for everybody to help. It looks as If everybody i9 going to. WHEATON, ILL., Nov. 29 —Judge Slusser to-day sentenced Henry Spencer, the confessed murderer of Mildred Allison-Rexroat, to be hanged December 19. “Before I pass sentence upon you, is there anything you wish to say?” asked the judge. The prisoner almost jumped from his chair. Very slowly he walked to ward the judge's bench. When he stood directly in front of the court he said: “You are d right I have. I will talk for just one hour. I* want to tell my story for the last time.” And then for almost an hour the man talked. He went over the details of the murder of Mrs. Rexroat. He neither denied the killing nor admit ted it. Before leaving his cell, Spencer pleaded to be hanged before Christ mas Skirt-Tight Workmen ‘Shovel’ Girl on Car BALTIMORE, Nov. 29.—Passengers on an ea»tbou»d Gilmor street car were astonished to-day when the car reached Fayette street to see a han'l- some young woman shoveled aboard the car by two workmen. The street had been dug up, making the step high. Several times she tried to reach the step, first with one foot, then the other. Each time she was unsucces- ful, owing to the tightness of her skirt. Becoming much embarrassed by the gaze of many passengers, the young woman was about to continue her way down by walking, when the workmen came to her rescue. Forming a platform with their shovels, on which she stepped, they lifted the young woman aboard the car. Washington’s Letter Brings $900 at Sale Special Cable to The American.

American Life Nets $40,000 for Assets Acting under the insurance law, which gives him the right to sell the assets of defunct insurance compa nies for the benefit of t^p r- , Insurance Commissioner W. A. Wright Saturday sold me j the American Life and Annuity Com pany to L. O. Benton, of Monticello, Ga. The price was $40,090, that being the highest offer in three days’ bid ding. Bonds of the city of Rome and other towns, with a number of mort gages constitute the assets, and the price received is regarded as fair. This sum, however, will be suffi cient to pay only about half the debts of the company. There are 6,000 pol icy holders scattered throughout the State, and under the form of policy taken out by them each is liable for the debts of the company as the as sociation was one for mutual profit. The debenture investors, however, will receive their money back, theirs being for Investment only. Tourist- Ferguson Reaches New Orleans on Back Trail of Trans continental Route. NEW ORLEANS. Nov 29.
