the Oglethorpe fund turned into the
home stretch Monday, and the com
mittee has determinf‘d to raise this
week 160,000 stilt needed from At
lanta
The splendid work of the cam
paigners has served to give greater
energy for the last dash, and Monday
morning they went to work with a
vim Extra committees have been
added, and a thorough “clean-up” of
the iity will be made in taking sub
scriptions for the university
So far 1,200 Atlantans have sub
scribed to the fund. The daily lunch
eon* will be continued at the Pied
mont Hotel during the week, at
which the various team captains wifi
make their reports Many preachers
in the city gave talks on Oglethorpe
University Sunday and urged congre
gations to assist in the work.
V Of more than usual interest was the
talk of Dr. Thorn well Jacobs at the
Ontra! Congregational Church in
w hich he told the* hlstor.v of «igle
thorpe University from its founda
tion in 1821 to its death during Hie
Civil War period Dr. Jacobs spoke
by request.
“Oglethorpe traced its beginning
from the organization of the Midway
Congregational Church in Liberty
County m 1778, which was organized
by a colony from Dorchester, Eng
land," said Dr. Jacobs. “The church
fostered the Idea of a university, and
in 1S21 it became a reality, and from
the beginning was famous
“Its faculty and students during
the Civil War gave everything to the
Confederacy. The monev of the
school was invested in Confederate
bonds while the students marched
forth to right for the cause. It was
founded by several denominations,
and named for Georgia's most noted
Episcopa lion, James Edw ard Ogle
thorpe, and is being horn again under
the combined efforts of all denomi
nations.”
“The impression that it makes some
difference somehow whether a prod!
I is made in handling liquors in clubs
j »>r near-beer saloons w hich imprec
ision seems to be more or less wide
spread in Georgia —is rather hard ‘*>
(account for." said a well-known ad-
I vocate of strict prohibition In Geor
gia to-day. “There is nothing what
ever in the idea, of course.
“The side question in the dispensing
I of liquors iri this State is whoth r
i they are intoxicating—or. to be pre
cise. and follow tin* letter of the law,
whether they are of such a character
that, 'when drunk to excess,' they will
‘produce intoxication.'
“Prohibitionists generally appear to
think that Georgia has on its statu*/*
books now all the law it m4ds in re
spect of prohibition The present
machinery is, we think, effective
enough for all purposes, and attempts
to get further statutes enacted are
favored generally by those interests
opposed at heart to prohibition.
“There are signs that there may he
sonic modifications of the present law
undertaken in the Legislature to he
elected next summer not the present
General Assembly. It should not sur
prise me to see prohibition made an
issue in a great many counties. How
ever, 1 have every confidence in Hie
world that, when it comes to a ‘sh wv
down,’ the prohibitionists will win.
Wo have the votes 1 think there is
no doubt of tha t!
“It is a mistake to believe that pr >-
hibition may be separated from poli
tics* it can not. That’s all! And pro
hibitionists know it, well and good!”
A curious mix-up has be n
straightened out —or rather will be
In Laurens County, and a railroad ,s
to become the boundary line betwe *n
Laurens and Montgomery.
The discussion of the matter was
brought about this week by the sur
vey of a portion of the boundary h >•
tween the* two counties for the* first
sine
time
in IS.'.',).
The line was o
proved to be so

Wadley Southern road the boundary
line, Laurens to have the two arms . f
Montgomery fount that extenl

th.it extends into Montgomery.
The change would give a perm -
nent straight line between the tvv »
counties, would simplify matters a
great deal in the collect ion-of the cor
poration tax paid by the railroad t »
the two counties, and would result lr
each having about the same amount
of territory as before.
The sections of the counties in
volved in the exchange will not
amount to more than 3,000 acres al

Unsatisfactory Liverpool cables and
| the failure of nulls to maintain their
position caused the cotton market to
cpen weak to-day and firei prices wcr#»
■*' a net detune <>t 8 to 13 points from
Saturday h close
The feature of the trailing was the
absence of Gull support which was ap
parent l-riday. T he general fe/llng
among the local traders is more bear
ish Ilian for months and this Is n
.striding those who are inclined to the
bull side to come Into the market.
After the call the trend continued
downward. The ring, commission
houses were heavy sellers. Some ob
servers thought that liquidation by tired
and discouraged longs was in progress
and everywhere the talk was of lower
prices to come. Within half an hour
the market bad widened its decline to
16 to 23 points. March was the heavi
est preset! option or; the list, dropping
to 12.66 for a net loss of $1.10 a bale
i The most discouraging feature of the
break was the lack of resistive power
from the bull crowd. About the best
buying came from a few scattered spot
interests.
Spot saels in Liverpool were again
small The weather map showed cloudy
weather with general rainfall over the
entire cotton belt east of the Missis
sippi. Rain was also reported over the
middle West to-day.

Some Can
And Some Cannot
Drink Coffee Without Dangerous Results—
Hut if vou intend to win ont in life you will need a clearer head and steadier uerves
than the coffee drinker usually has.
Coffee contains caffeine, a subtle, poisonous drujr. and its use as a daily routine beVcr-
. hup eauses more or loss disturbance of nerves, heart, stoma, li. liver or some other organ.
This may not show for a lime, but the coffee driiir, caffeine (about 2'j grains to the e.upi is
a cumulative poison and, for most persons, a day of rcckonin.u will surely come.
But why wait until Nature drives home her ai yuments against coffee? Tr\ this eas>
led - -quit coffee 10 days and tr\ POSTUM.
A Her a Few du,\ s Ihe hahit-formin.ir dni};. ealTeme. will hi eliminated from the s\siem.
and the gradual return to old-time comfort will lie the best evidence that coffee was
"getting \ou."
There's no headache or pains of an\ kind in I’ostum. It is a pure food-drink, made only
of choice wheat and a liftK New Orleans molasses, and is absolutely free from caffeine or
any other drug.
Postum now comes in two forms
Regular Postum—must In- well boiled to hrinc out its deli. >us flavour and food \alue.
Instant Postum—(the new torm is a seudne p iwd< , \ spoonful stirred in a .-up of
hot water, with sugar and cream added, mala s a perfect cup. instantly.
The person who has to bother with coffee aches and pains is badh handicapped, hut
it N casv to shift to
POSTUM
And the change works wonders

Big Business Doing in
Holiday Merchandise
Marshall Field A: Co., in their weekly
review of the dry goods trade, say;
“As there is only a short time in
tervening until the holidays and as
Christmas shopping has been retarded
by the unseasonable weather of the
past few weeks, retailers are extremely
busy. More titan the usual share of
the retail holiday business remains to
ho done between now and Decem
ber 25.
“Current shipments of holiday mer-
ebandise are heavy. Immediate distri
bution of general lines of dry goods
during the first half of the present
month has run about even with that
recorded for the same period in De
cember of last year.
“Cash receipts show a slight falling
off for the week.”

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
Weld & Co.; Speculative sentiment is
so much against the market that no ad
vance baaed on buying from this source
can be looked for at the present time.
Thompson. Towle & Co.: We con
tinue our advice to sell on all strong
spots.
Logan «V Bryan: The unfavorable
business outlook, which at this time is
having considerable influence, is to
some extent shaping tlie course of
prices.
Hayden. Stone & Co.: An irregular
market is likely because of the trade
demand on cverx decline and the sup
ply of cotton for sale on every*advance.
Miller & Co.: We are convinced that
cotton at the 13c lovel is not cheap.

The New York Financial Bureau:
“The buying is much better than the
selling."
* * *
The New York Times: “The money
market outlook for the next two weeks
is measurably improved."
* * *
The New York Herald: "What is
called good buying is in evidence."

The New York American: “The most
powerful financial interests are not yet
ready to recommend the purchase of
full lines of stock, but good securities
are intrinsically cheap.”

The New York Wall Street Journal:
“In conservative quarters it is asserted
that New Haven is now selling under
value."
♦ * *
The New York Post: “Whether the
seemingly close approach of the bank
ing and currency bill’s enactment has
had a hand in the suspicious attitude
of the market Is debatable.”
* * *
G. D. Potter says: “The bank state
merit was better than expected and
should insure us of easy rates for
money over the first of the year. The
remarks of one of the Interstate Com
merce Commissioners regarding advance
In freight rates was rather discourag
ing and may give the bears courage to
attempt another raid on values to-day.
1 am inclined to feci bullish on Union

but bearish on American Telegraph and

CAUTION !
The great popularity of the
clem, pare, healthful
is causing unscrupulous per
sons to wrap rank imitations
that are not even real chew
ing gum so they resemble
genuine WHIG LOTS. The
better class of stores will
not try to fool you with these
imitations. They will be
offered to you principally by
street fakirs, peddlers and
the candy departments of
some 5 and 10 cent stores.
These rank imitations cost
dealers one cent a package
or even less and are sold to
careless people for almost
any price. If you want
Wrigley’* Iook before you
buy. Get what yotr pay for.
We are
inserting the
above caution solely
to protect our customers, who
are continually writingus that they
have been deceived bv imitations which
they purchased thinking they were WRIGLETS.
