! Demise of Leading Candidate for
Success to Pope Leaves Merry
del Val Favorite.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
ROME, Dec. 17.—Pope Pius X wept
to-da\ when informed of the death of
Cardinal Rampola, former papal
secretary of state, who died of an
gina pectoris shortly after midnight.
The death of the 70-year-old prelate
caused surprise in the Vatican, for it
was not known that he was seriously
ill.
The death of the cardinal* removes
the leading candidate for tiie pontifi
cate in the event of the present Pope’s
death and leaves Cardinal Merry Del
Val, the present papal secretary of
state, as the foremost personage In
the list of possible successors.
At the time of his death .’Cardinal
Rampola was preparing to ‘preside at
a religious festival chiefly in honor
of Americans at St. Peters to-mor
row.
As a result of the deaths of Cardi
nal Rampola and of Cardinal Oreglla,
who died on December 5. the mem
bership of the Sacred College has
been reduced to 56. There is an old
tradition in Rome that the death of
a cardinal Is followed by the demise
of two others within a brief period
of time.

their annual play Friday night would
be devoted to The Georgian-Ameri
can Empty Stocking Fund for the
youngsters of the city who otherwise
would not have a visit from Santa
Claus this year.
As the Tech play is one of the
events of the winter season and in
variably attracts a big house, the
fund will be swelled materially by
the generosity of the students. On
Sunday another substantial addition
to the Empty Stocking Fund will
come from The Georgian’s great free
concert in the Forsyth Theater.
The play at the Grand Friday night
by the Tech student-actors promises
to he even more of a grand and
delightful affair than it was last year,
when the house was packed from pit
to gallery.
College Girls to Attend.
The annual dramatic effort by the
collegians is to be graced this year
by the presence of several hundred
young women from Atlanta’s famed
educational Institutions. Not that
they have not attended before, but.
Friday night they will be here In
larger numbers than ever before; they
will be in their prettiest of gowns;
they will come in solid delegations
from the various schools they repre
sent. and they will be decked out
with the colors of their schools.
Washington Seminary. Agnes Scott
College, the Girls’ High School, Miss
Wood berry’s and Miss Hannah’s
schools all will he at the Grand with
large representations.
The Tech actors, as soon as The
Georgian made public its plans for
raising an Empty Stocking Fund
for the poor children of the city,
immediately fell in with the idea and
decided to make a contribution on
their own account. It was agreed
that one-fourth of the gross receipts
would be turned over to The Geor
gian to be used in filling the empty
stockings in the poor homes of the
city.
Some of Players.
Al Roberts, who starred last year
in “Brown of Harvard,’’ will have a
leading part in this year’s produc
tion, which is Pinero’s famous com
edy, “The Magistrate.’’ It will be the
professional ranks of Thespians for
Roberts after his school days are
over, according to the report of his
friends.
He is regarded as one of the best
actors that the Tech Dramatic So
ciety lias ever had. Besides possess
ing an impressive personality on the
stage, he has unusual ability for an
amateur and has decided to use his
talents professionally. Roberts is
prominently connected with the Play
ers’ Club of Nashville, his horn**.
Walter Troy, who has one of the
important parts in the pli^' this year,
will be remembered as “Gwendolyn’
in "Brown of Harvard."
Sidney Gayles, another member of
the cast, is displaying his dramatic
ability In other lines as well, being
at present engaged in writing a play
for the Georgia Drama League, of
which Miss Carolyn Cobb is presi
dent.

Some of the best musical talent In
the city will have places on the pro
gram. Musicians from other cities
also will perform Altogether it will

that Atlantans have been privileged
in mnathji.
From the first entry of the waiters
with steaming dishes to the closing
toast to Mrs. Price by Governor John
M. Slaton, the "hog-killing’’ and
“Georgia Products" supper given by
Commissioner of Agriculture James
D. Price at the University Club Tues
day night was an entire success.
The supper was given to the at
taches of the Agricultural Depart
ment and to Mr Price’s close friends
in Atlanta. . Everything on the table
except the coffee and celery came
from the commissioner’s plantation in
Oconee County, and was prepared by
Mrs. Price at Athens and sent to At
lanta to be served
There were 70 guests who ate fif
teen possums, but the possum was
merely a side dish, the real supper
being in the great dishes peculiar to
hog-killing time.
Talks were made by Robert F. Mad
dox. Judge Marcus W Beck. Walter
Coleman and P. M. Edwards. Guyt
McLendon presided
Mr. Maddox talked on "The Chilli
ness in the Financial Atmosphere.’
but forgot his subject in rhapsodizing
on the supper. “Why should we worry
about the high cost of living when
we have the ‘Price’ and this wonder
fill supper Illustrating what a Geor
gia. farm can produce?" he queried.
Governor Slaton’s talk was a boost
for Georgia.
"1 attended a number of fairs this
fall and with each visit I became
more imbued with the belief that
Georgia can stand on its resources,"
said the Governor. “When we eat
of this remarkable spread and know
that the products here came from one
Georgia farm, it is hard to under
stand why there should ever be com
plaint of hard times in Georgia. I
want to congratulate Commissioner
Price on the work of his department,
for it is one of the livest businesses
in Georgia to-day, and results from
its workings are being noted.” At
the conclusion Governor Slaton pro
posed a toast to Mrs. Price.
The banqueters called for the com
missioner and he responded in a talk
of praise for the attaches of his de
partment.
