The Oglethorpe workers started out Thursday morning with the idea that only one thing was required to con vert the Oglethorpe project into a realization: "A strong pull, all to gether." In this event, the "long pull” part of the adage refill y seemed to he su perfluous. “Only $73,281," said Thornwell Ja cobs, and there was exultation in his voice. "Only $73,281—and we’ve raised $176,711* in less than two weeks —In just ten days! Why, at that rate " But Mr. Jacobs wasn't inclined to bind the workers to any fixed rate. Good Work Wednesday. “No telling what that bunch will dof* he added. "I shouldn’t he nt all surprised to see them turn it all up by the end of this week. Those men are capable of anything. Oglethorpe is just as muph of a fact right now as if it were standing on the broad campus at Silver Rake. That’s just how good Atlanta’s faith is.” The $4,793 in subscriptions of the day before, with the building mate rial promise of $17,500 and the $5,000 subscribed by William Randolph Hearst, constituted the biggest day’s work of the campaign by the work ers. They were exultant at the luncheon when the news was announced. They were inspired when they started the day's work Thursday morning. Donations From Far States. Everyone felt that the thing was done—and everyone set out to pile up the balance at top speed. Among the subscriptions announced Wednesday were two from distant States—one from Seattle. Wash., and one from the corresponding State. Massachusetts, in the Northeast. Each was for $100, the former by R. <,}. Evans, and the latter by J. A. Brierl.v, of Holyoke. Berth came through the committee of l>r. J. Cheston King. Spec ial credit was given to Dr. Ja cobs. Ivan E. Allen and Dr. J. H Gaertner for obtaining the $17,500 subscription in building material— the valuation being placed on it by a firm <»f Atlanta architects. The con tributor is to be made known later. Splendid Record Of $1,000 Gifts Chairman Ivan E. Allen, of the Oglethorpe campaign committee, said to-day: “There have been more $1 000 subscriptions to the Oglethorpe fund than any other campaign of any kind in Atlanta. "More $1.00 ©subscriptions than could have been expected, but where are the $500 subscriptions— there are fewer of these than were expected—they should nearly make up the deficit. "Remember that the payments are spread over five years and it will come back more than five fold to every subscribing citizen."

Merchant Drives Negro Pair From Place When They Command Him to “Hands UpI” A bold attempt at a hold-up in the store oi Sain Swerdlin, No. 52 Rich mond street, fell through Thursday morning when the two negio despera does took fright at the show of re slstance made by Swerdlin and made ineir escape. A revolver in the hands of one of the would-be robbers gave him cour age for a moment, but he wilted when a long butcher knife in the hands of Swerdlin flashed before his eyes. In an instant he was in precipitate flight, with his dusky partner in crime a close second behind him. Swerdlin was waiting on some early morning customers when the two ne groes entered the store and asked to get warm at the stove. Swerdlin had seen neither of them before. Whips Out Revolver. They loafed about the stove until the customers had departed and then one of them walked toward the pro prietor, whipping a revolver from his pocket and calling: "Hands up!" Swerdlin, taken by surprise, obeyed. But when he saw the other negro making for the cash register he grabbed a big butcher knife close at hand and made a lunge at the negro with the revolver. There probably would have been a dead negro had not the tip of the knife struck on a button on the ne gro's coat and glanced off. Flees From Knife. That was a close enough call for the black man, however, and with a yell of terror he darted from the doorway, leaving all his bravery be- Knd him. The other negro followed suit. Early morning pedestrians saw one frightened negro dash up Richmond street and another up Martin street. Swerdlin was close behind, brandish ing the butcher knife. Desperation lent speed to the feet of the robebrs, however, and they escaped. NEWS AGENT INDICTED. WAYCROSS. Dec. 11.—F. W.
