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 ihe Ogle
thorpe worker* whirl In nnd Kettle
that qiiarter-of-a - million fund In one
w eek
Th» > have no** distance yet to *•>
That distance represent* $80,642. Th\t
■means something more than $10,000 a
day for the i\ working day*.
That is a big undertaking
Also that is the kind of undertaking
that Atlanta takes to—and goes
through with, and make* the Kind of
brilliant play that once in a while fbv
some envious sister city) la called
"grandstanding.”
Rut 1t Isn't grandstanding hike
genius, the Oglethorpe campaign com
mittees have won their preatlge and
their silt * css by dint of sheer ha”d
work, applied to the fruitful field of
the Atlanta spirit.
The committees raised $92,689 in
two weeks, and now they are out to
settle tilings well before Christmas.
The $92,069 represents more than a
thousand subscriptions. Of the thou
sand and more, those subscriptions
that were not really large ones were
of the small aihl welcome kind that
Indira;* a wholesome feeling abroad
In all the city, among the people not
of much wealth, hut with an abiding
faith in Atlanta, and a. belief in the
great future of < iglethorpe University.
And so the workers say —
"The final week is on!" t
To Raise $5,000 More.
"My committee will undertake t.» ;
raise $5,000 next week, and more it
possible." said I - P. Bottenfleld at
tlie Haturdav Oglethorpe luncheon,
and in it was the expression of fhe
spirit with w hich the canvassing com
mittees will go fo work for the final
week.
t'oming from a committee which
now leads the list, with the excep
tion of the central committee, which
Urns been de oting itself to big sub
scriptions, M Bottenfleld'* 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 $60,000 more in one week
nil of the committees must Increase.j
their averages. It is the final lap of ;
the race, and it must be run at full '
speed.
For the last two weeks the canvass
er* have averaged about $47,000 a
week, and on the wind-up they must
-add $13,000 to the average.
When called upon at the luncheon
to know if they would make an effori
to do this by Chairman Ivan K. Al
len, every one of the 40 committee-
men present stood up and pledgod
himself to his best efforts
The $4,882 reported at Saturday *
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 W. English, as well as
the campaign committee, headed by
Chairman Ivan JO. Allen, are confident
that tiie work can be completed this j
week and that announcement of the
completion will be made In the At-
, lanta papers next Sunday morning.
That the young men of Atlanta, i
largely, are going to rebuild Ogle
thorpe it? evidenced not only by the |
personnel of the canvassing commit - j
tecs engaged in the work, but al.c* i
by the intense interest displayed by I
students of the Atlanta high schools.
Joel Hunter has had especial charge i
of soliciting subscriptions from the
student 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
$wft 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
] •• feels assured of n good subscrip
tion from this institution Good
subscriptions will also be forthcom
ing from the Girls' High School and
other educational institutions, where
the students seem unusually interest
ed in tne progress of education in At
lanta.
English Sends Message.
Dr. Thorn 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 seep in At
lanta for the quality and size oT tho
gifts. Captain English urged the
committees to do their best for Just
one more week, and he said Atlanta
would have Oglethorpe.
One of the interesting feature* nf
the Oglethorpe campaign 1* that the
*ub§crip4lons as a rule are either
small or large The subscription*
running from $5 up to $100 are nu
merous. while there are more $1,000
subscriptions and over than were ever
before secured in any campaign of
tills kind In Atlanta.
There Is a remarkable absence of
subscriptions of $200. $250 and $500.
While some subscriptions of this size
end 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-

whereas there were 3,000 subscribers
to the old university fund. In other
words, there were nearly 2,000 more
Atlantans who gave to the old fund
of nine years ago than have yet given
to Oglethorpe.
It Is going lo he the work of the
canvassing committees the next wee!;
to overcome this discrepancy and g, t
more Atlantans on the present list
There Is no doubt that there are
many more Atlantans who would bo

It Is going to be the work of the com

the clerk of the County Court to Is
sue a license for the marriage of
William Still, $65, to Bertha Groves,

‘Man-phobia.’
r
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 13.—The 'man-
phobia" of Gaby Deslys still rages
with unbroken violence, in spite of the
sedative that was only a little while
ago applied to her when Queen Mary
or England shooed her away from the
Prince of Wales.
Here Gaby is in St. Louis, raving

day. "They are nothing but lovable

| Gaby has hardly recovered from the
shock of being declared anathema in
England, when the bishops and cler
gymen of the Church of England
painted'her very black in every man
ner and with all the zeal known to

Mayor Approves of
Raise for Old Foe
Friends of City Attorney James L.
Mayd&n are congratulating him on
the fact that Mayor Woodward has
approved an increased in the salary
of his office frAm $3,000 to $3,600 a
year. While the increase Is for the
next term, there is practically no
doubt that Mr. Afayson 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
He Is To-day’-Peters
BOSTON. Dec. 13.—Offend not the
finer sensibilities of your pigs, If you
have any, is the advice of I>r. 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 skin*.
The pig should have a clean, dry he'd
to sleep in. Us pen should be ke.jt
clean, and it should be properly fed."
Dr Peters asserted that hens, os
well as ’'Vo, need clean surroundings.
Big Figures in National Politics
‘Overthrown’ or ‘Shot’ at
Press Travesty.
WASHINGTON, Dee. IS -The
Gridiron Club wra* transformed Into
an "Americanized Mexican Revolu
tion," in which practically ©v**rv fig
ure in national politic* of this country
was either overthrown or shot, figu
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

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 I seldom
misbehave myself in this way and am
ashamed and disappointed because I
<‘an 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 sh'afts
were directed were present at the
banquet.
A ragged army (‘lad in gaudy uni
forms opened, the Mexican skit when
they appeared in the dining room, led
by Bryanna, whose chief lieutenant
w as one Tumulte. Vice President Mar-
s hall era., who demanded his rights,
was ejected by the dictator.
Then Bryanntw^&ised 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
his astute maneuvers, overthrew the
dictator and ordered his execution.
The, new dictator killed Senators
O’Gormano, Reedavera and Hitch-
koko, and then ^yas overthrown by
William Randolph Hersta. Moose-
bullera 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 ^udden appearance
of Mrs. Pankhurst, who demanded
"votes for women.” f

Long Litigation Ended, Corpora

Holder* of securities tn the Georgia
Railway and Power Company are con
gratulating themselves on the fact
that the corporation now has a clear
iitle to the 258 acres of disputed land
in the Tallulah River gorge, where
two dams and a power station had
already been constructed for the sup
plying of power to Atlanta and other
cities.
The State Supreme Court Saturday
handed down a decision affirming the
ruling of Judge J. B. Jones, 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 aiiead with our
work," said H. M. Atkinson, chairman
of fhe executive committee of the
corporation. "We were certain of
our rights in the matter and for this
reason we regarded it as the best
business policy not to shut down the
leajit bit. The milt did not incon- i
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."
