Committees Are Enthused by Call to Greater Efforts ->— Will Try Hard to Raise Remaining Part of Quarter Million This Week. And right here is where the Ogle thorpe workers whirl In and settle that rjuarter-of-a-million fund in one v ceK Tho> have some distance yet to go. That distance represents 160,642. That means something more than $10,000 a day for the «lx working days. That is a big undertaking. Also that is the kind of undertaking that Atlanta takes to—and goes through with, and makrs the kind of brilliant play that once In a while (by some envious sister city) Is call «i "grandstanding." But it isn't grandstanding Like genius, the Oglethorpe campaign com mittees have won their prestige and their su< cess by dint of sheer hard ■work, applied to the fruitful Held of the Atlanta spirit. The committees raised $92,660 in two weeks, and now they are out to settle things well before Christinas. The $02,669 represents more than a thousand .subscription!. Of the thou sand and more, those subscriptions that were not really laree ones were of the small and welcome kind that indicate a wholesome feeling abroad Jn all the city, among the people not of much wealth, but with an abiding faith in Atlanta, and a belief In the #?rpat future of Oglethorpe University. And so the workers say "The final week is on!" To Raise $5,000 More. "My committee will undertake to j raise $5,000 next week, and more 'f possible." said L. P. Bottenfleld at the Saturdav Oglethorpe luncheon, und in It was the expression of the tsplrit with which the canvassing com mittees will go to work for the Anal week. ‘ Coming from a committee which now leads the list, with the excep tion of the central committee, which ! Jhas hern devoting itself to big 8iir>- tB-riptione. Mr. Bottenfleld’s statement evoked warm applause and brought statements from other committeemen present that they would lend their best efforts to the work of the clos ing week of the campaign. To raise $60,0fto more in one week nil of the committees must Increase ( their averages. It is the final lap of the race, and it must be run at full epeed. For the last two weeks the canvas3- \ ers have averaged about $47,000 a week, and on the wind-up they must i Aidd $13,000 to the average. When called upon Ht the luncheon to know if they would make an eff *ri to do this by Chairman Ivan E. Al- •3en, every one of the 40 committed- men present stood up and pledged hdnself to his best efforts Th<- $4,882 reported at Saturday s luncheon brought the grand total for Oglethopre up to $189,358, leaving but $60,642 yet to be raised. Hope to Complete Fund. The executive committee, headed by Captain James \V. English, as well as the campaign committee, headed by Chairman Ivan E. Allen, are confident that the work can be completed this week and that announcement of the completion will be made in the At lanta papers next Sunday morning. That the young men of Atlanta, largely, are going to rebuild Ogla- thorpe is evidenced not only by ‘he personnel of the canvassing commit tees engaged in the work, but also bv th>‘ intense interest displayed by Ktudent-s of the Atlanta high schools. Joe l Hunter has had especial charge of soliciting subscriptions from the etudent bodies of these institutions, and in a brief talk Saturday an nounced his belief that the subscrip tion of the Boys’ High School stu dent body, which has already gone beyond $500, would probably reach $750 early in the week. Mr. Hunter also made a speech be fore the students of the Tech High School, where he found the same splendid enthusiasm that was mani fested at the Boys’ High School, and be feels assured of a good subscrip tion from this institution. Good subscriptions will also be forthcom ing from the Girls' High School and other educational Institutions, where t • student! seem unusually Interest ed in tne progress of education in At lanta English Sends Message. Dr '1'horn well Jacobs brought the committees a message from Captain English, chairman of the executive committee. Captain English declared that this ^was the most magnificent campaign he'had ever seen in At lanta for the quality and size of the gifts Captain English urged the committees to do their bast for just one more week, and ho said Atlanta would have Oglethorpe. One of the interesting features of the Oglethorpe, campaign is that the subscriptions as a rule are either small or large The subscriptions running from $5 up to $100 are .m- meroue. while there are more $1,000 subscriptions and over than were ever before secured in any campaign of this kind in Atlanta. There is a remarkable absence of subscriptions of $200. $250 and $500. “While some subscriptions of this size and class have been turned in. it is .an interesting fact that there are more subscriptions of $1,000 and over than there are of $250 and $500 combined. It is also noteworthy that there are, to date, but few more than 1,000 sub- Campaign tn Raise l und for Oglethorpe Sets Atlanta Record A TLANTA’S Campaign for Oglethorpe University Is conceded to have been, , to date, one of the most remark able the city ever has known. Here Is Atlanta's splendid roll of honor for the two weeks ended Saturday, showing what each can vassing committee has accom plished: Central committee, Ivan E. Al len, chairman, $32,981. L. P. Bottenfield's committee, $8,471. Dr. J. Cheston King’s commit tee. $7,350. Dr. H. J. Gaertner, who has no committee, but Is a whole team in ( himself, $7,332. Henry Schaul’s committee. $6,- > 529. Charles P. Glover s committee, ( $5,558. John A. Brice's committee, $4,741. A, S. Adams, chairman Ad Men s committee, $3,705. j Harris G. White’s committee, $3,490. j. R. A.

Porter Langston’s committee, $1,000. Frank E. Callaway's committee, $735. This makes a total of $92,669 raised by the canvassing commit tees in two weeks' work, making the aggregate total to date, with what had been previously se cured, $189,358, and leaving $60,- 642 still to'be raised. scrlhers to the Oglethorpe fund, whereas there were 3,000 subscribers to the old university fund. In other words, there were nearly 2,000 more Atlantans who cave to the old fund of nine years ago than have yet given to Oglethorpe. It Is going to be the work of the canvassing committees the next week to overcome this discrepancy and get more Atlantans on the present list There is no doubt that there are many more Atlantans who would he glad to subscribe to Oglethorpe, and It Is going to be the work of the com mittees for the next six working davs to find them. Wells Contests Vote At Stone Mountain The election of Phil McCurdy as Mayor of Stone Mountain will be contested by the defeated candidate. Dr. J. R. Wells, on the grounds that certain men who voted for Mr. Mc Curdy are disqualified as voters, and were therefore not eligible to partici pate in the election.

LOUIS, Dec. 13.—The "man- phobia" of Gaby Deslys still rages W'ith unbroken violence, in spite of the sedative }hat was only a little while ago applied to her when Queen Alary of England shooed her away from the Prince of Wales. Here Gaby is in ^t. Louis, raving over the American man, analyzing him, dissecting him, adoring him. "An American for me,” said she to day. "They are nothing but lovable big babies." Gaby has hardly recovered from the shock of being declared anathema in England, when the bishops and cler gymen of the Church of England puinted her very black in every man ner and with all the zeal known to the cloth. This was done at the be hest of Queen Mary. Gaby had at tracted tiie gaze of the youfhful Crown Prince, and never—no. never — must a Manuel episode blot tho ’scutcheon of Great Britain. Mayor Approves of Raise for Old Foe Friends of -City Attorney James L. Mayson are congratulating him on the fact that Mayor Woodward has approved an increased in the salary of his office from $3,000 to $3,600 a year. While the increase is for the next term, there is practically no doubt that Mr. Mayson will be re elected if he runs, and it Is generally understood that he will again be a candidate. Mayor Woodward vetoed a raise for the City Attorney several weeks ago. It was passed again as a new matter, along with the increase for school teachers, firemen and police men. by a unanimous vote of Council. Mayor Woodward’s approval evoked some surprise, since he and the City Attorney are old political enemies. ‘Man Made Pig What I He Is To-day’-Peters BOSTON, Dec. 13—Offend not the finer sensibilities of your pigs, 1f you have any. is the advice of Dr. Austin Peters, of Harvard. "The pig is naturally a gentleman; | It is man who has made him what he is. The popular idea that broken glass, empty cans and tin covers are appreciated as a diet by swine is one of the popular fallacies. "Neither do they appreciate lemon rinds, orange peels and banana skins. The pig should have a clean, dry bid to sleep in, its pen should be kept clean, and it should be properly fed.” Dr. Peters asserted that hens, as well as need clean surroundings. Big Figures in National Politics ‘Overthrown’ or ‘Shot’ at Press Travesty. WASHINGTON', Her IS. The Gridiron Club was transformed into an “Americanized Mexican Revolu tion," in which practically every fig ure in national politics of this country | wap either overthrown or shot, figu- j ratively speaking, of course; in which Mrs. Pankhurst exploded a bomb, when she appeared on the scene with "votes for women," and in which other travesties on current events were enacted, when that famous body of newspaper correspondents enter tained a large number of distin guished guests at. its annual Decem ber dinner to-night. Five new members were initiated into the organization, the ceremonies being public and displaying many amusing features. Those admitted were E. A. Fowler, of The New York Sun; Arthur B. Krock, of The Louis ville Courier-Journal; John P. Ryan, of The San Francisco Post; Fred Essary, of The Baltimore Sun, and Thomas W. Brahany, of the White. House offices. Wilson Sends Regrets. A letter from President Wilson, read before the meeting by President Rudolph Kauffmann. expressed the Chief Executive’s regret at being pre vented by a bad cold from being pres ent at the banquet board. "I am deeply chagrined and greatly disappointed," the letter said, "that a very severe cold still keeps me in doors and will prevent my attending the banquet of the club this evening; deeply chagrined because 1 seldom misbehave myself in this way and am ashamed and disappointed because I can not do so now. "I was looking forward'with keen anticipation of pleasure to this event. I am sure that I will miss you much more than you will miss me, and I wish for you the jolliest and most re warding evening." Americanized Revolution. In the Americanized Mexican revo lution the club placed national figures of this country in the Southern re public and followed with keen humor the political fortunes which have ap-" peared and disappeared there. Prac tically all of those at whom the shafts were directed were present at the banquet. A ragged army clad in gaudy uni forms opened the Mexican skit when they appeared in the dining room, led by Bryanna, whose chief lieutenant weis one Tumulte. Vice President Mar- shallera, who demanded his rights, was ejected by the dictator. Then Bryanna raised his own sal ary, made all of his soldiers generals, ordered the execution of several Con gressmen, and ordered the death of Champere Clarkista. The latter, by hi» astute maneuvers, overthrew the dictator and ordered his execution. The new dictator killed Senators O’Gormano, Reedavera and Hitch- koko, and then was overthrown by William Randolph Hersta. Moose- hullera for the fourth time demanded his rights, but was scuttled when Hersta threatened to print the full reports of his speeches. Following a quick succession of events of this nature, the entire army was routed by the sudden appearance of Mrs. Pankhurst, who demanded "votes for women."

The State Supreme Court Saturday handed down a decision affirming the ruling of Judge J. B. J ones, of the Rabun Superior Court, who denied the State a. new' trial in its long- drawn-out fight, to oust the company from this property, after a verdict in favor of the company had been re turned. While the officials of the company were confident of winning every step of the legal contest, the long litiga tion naturally made Investors In the securities a little apprehensive and the victory was welcomed on this ac count. "We went right ahead with our work,’’ said H. M. Atkinson, chairman of the executive committee of the corporation. “We were certain of our rights in the matter and for this reason w r e regarded it as the best business policy not to shut down the least bit. The suit did not incon venience us, except that it naturally worried some of the Investors, who thought that the State might be suc cessful in its suit for ejectment.” Chemist Says Canned Pumpkin Is Poisonous CLEVELAND, Dec. 13.—'"Beware of canned pumpkin!" City Chemist White issues this warning, following reports to health officers of scores of cases of tin poi soning. White says the danger of poisoning from the use of canned pumpkin is far greater than from any other tinned food.
