Heavy Subscriptions Expected
Toward $40,000 Balance by
Saturday Night.
Two days to raise $40,000!
That’s where the Oglethorpe fund
ampaign stands at present. That
was the proposition confronting the
workers Friday morning, in view of
their decision that the $250,000 shou’d
he announced in the newspapers next
Sunday morning as "raised.”
"This is the final, the critical stage
of the work,” Captain James W. Eng
lish said Thursday. "This undertak
ing is one of deep significance to At
lanta and to the entire South, and
every good citizen should recognize
that fact and act accordingly.”
Captain English Sees Success.
Then Captain English, touching on
the scope of the proposed university,
said:
•'It has been objected by some few
persons that $500,000—which we will
nave as soon as this $250,000 is raised
will not be sufficient to found a uni
versity of national size and scope.
“We have not the slightest idea of
stopping at the half-million mark. It
is a reasonable belief that the as*-
^ets of Oglethorpe will be increased
to a million dollars within our day.
And it is a fact that many of the
great American universities, with
millions of dollars of resources to-
. ay, had their beginning in circum-
stances far more humble than those
under which Oglethorpe is being
founded."
Time to Write "Big History.”
And now is the time to write “big
history,” Captain English said.
“Every subscription made before
midnight Saturday will entitle the
subscriber to be known as a true
founder of Oglethorpe. Those who
subscribe later, and after the quarter
of a million mark is reached, will be
helping, of course. But this is the
hour when Oglethorpe is on trial.”

Clerk Who Slew
Employer Freed
MACON, Dec. 19.—Jesse Cooner,
the clothing store clerk who shot and
killed his employer, S. L. McWil
liams. on November 15, was acquitted
last night by a jury which stayed
out only fifteen minuter.
The testimony showed that McWil
liams not only cursed Cooner, but
also pointed a pistol at him and
lunged at him with a knife.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.—A nation
wide break in the ranks of suffragists
is threatened to-day as the result o*
the action of officers of the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa
tion in ousting Miss Alice Paul from
the chairmanship of the Congression-
p committee of the national associa
tion.
This action is said to be virtually a
declaration of war between the na
tional association and the Congres
sional Union for Woman Suffrage,
which 1s headed by Miss Paul and
which raised $25,000 tetst year to car
ry on lobby work In Washington for
the national association.
Officers of the national association
demanded that the money raised by
Miss Paul as head of the Congression
al Union be accounted for to the
treasurer of the national association.
Miss Paul’s refusal caused the nation
al officers to remove her as chairman
of the national association’s Congres
sional committee.
As a result of the internal strife,
Miss Paul collapsed from nervous
breakdown here Tuesday while de
livering a suffrage speech, and is now
confined to her home in Morristown,
N. J. Her removal from office while
too ill to Journey to New- York City
to defend herself has created indigna
tion in the ranks of the Congression
al Union.

‘TIGER’
Supreme Court Upholds Ruling
in the Famous Cassidy Case
at Macon.
The Supreme Court Friday In the
case of Watkins against Wllkers >n,
from the Superior Court of Floyd, tf-
firmed the ruling of Judge Moses
Wright, with directions and modifi
cations, fixing the limits within
which Superior Courts may enjoin
“blind tigers” as nuisances
The ruling brings the order of in
junction within the rule established
by the Court in the Cassidy case from
Macon, which is that these “blind ti
gers” may be permanently enjoined
as nuisances onl. after a jury hear
ing. Temporary injunctions may be
granted for the purposes of interlocu
tory hearings, but questions of fact
must not be adjudicated by judges
finally in such proceedings.
The court also held that for h$
purposes of injunction nuisances
must be located with a reasonable de
gree of certainty, and that part of
Judge Wright’s injunction which
sought to restrain Watkins from op
erating in the place complained of
“and elsewhere” is modified by strik
ing the word “elsewhere.” As the o**-
der stands of permanent record, it re
strains Watkins merely from “selling
liquor” in any circumstances, but
leaves the matter of determining
whether he is or has been selling is
a. question of fact for jury settle
ment.
Hair Must Match
Gown, Even if It’s
Purple or Green
Let y®ur hair match your gown,
which is different from matching
the gown to your hair.
F’rinstanoe, purple gown, purple
hair; gr«en gown, well, get a gown
of that color if your locks natur
ally grow that way.
It’s from Paris, but even there
it’s a bit extreme.
Moreover, it’s not necessary to
dye the hair every time the gown
is changed.
Wigs are available. So are pow
ders of all colors of the spectrum.
Complexion powders, red, green,
etc., go with the color scheme.
