SFIHD WORK DONE
Keport of Building Committee
Shows Science Hall Built for
!.ess Than Appropriation.
’ Ga., Feb. 15, 1912. j
it Members of The Board of Di-
tors of The Georgia Normal & .
Indust r ial College:
Ger.Jemen:—The undersigned (M.
, !, . E. A. Tigner and M. S. I
Cell) have served as a Building Com
mittee for the New Science Building |
Georgia Normal and Industrial i
College, and the Committee now de
sires to submit to you its final report,
including a full statement of its bus-1
iness transactions and including also
a complete set of Vouchers for all ex
penditures.
In 1910, the Legislature appropriat
ed $35,000.00 for the erection of this
building. We are pleased to report
that the structure has been completed
at a cost, of $34,969.97, so that there j
now remains a balance of $30.03 oh
hand, which has not been expended.
We suppose that the law would re
quire that this unexpended balance
on the apppropriation should be re
turned to the State Treasury; and
accordingly with your approval a
check for $30.03 will he paid to the
State Treasurer, thus disposing of the
cent of the original appropriaton
of the $35,000.00 whch was made by
the General Assembly of 1910 aijd ap
proved by Governor J. M. Brown in
August 1910.
The building has not been put up by
contract, but the work has been done
by day labor under the direction of
your committee. Therefore in making
our final report we desire to submit
for your inspection the following:
1. A picture of the building as it
now stands.
2. A complete and itemized state
ment of every cent expended.
3. A legal voucher for each item
of expenditure. -
In return we ask from you a search-
ng investigation of all papers sub
mitted and if these papers are satis-
factactory in every particular, we ask
that the Committee be discharged
ith a written statement of your ap
proval. While the full responsibility
for the erection was placed upon us,
wo desire to state that throughout
he entire time we have voluntarily
chosen not to pay accounts in money,
hut to pay all accounts by checks and
for each check paid out we hold a
proper vocher. In examining the
vouchers you will notice that each
vouch) ■■ has been approved in writing

ce; an! where there are any voueh-
rs for' weekly pay rolls to laborers

UNION MEETING
All Arrangements Completed
and the First Service Will Be
Held at Methodist Church.
A large body of representative men
and women from the Methodist. Bap
tist and Presbyterian churches met in
the lectnre||room of the latter church
Sunday afternoon, in a conference to
devise the best methods to secure the
greatest results from the great union
meeting which begins iu this city next
Sunday morning.
The intense interest taken in the
meeting Sunday afternoon wa9 an evi
dence of the conscious need on the
part of all our people of a revival that
shall be of immense and lasting bene
fit to every person and interst in the
community.
It is recognized that such a meeting
as is contemplated will enlist the dor
mant talent of the strong men in the
city in the great work that needs to B
done and can be done only by men.
just now, throughout the country the
Men and Religion Movement, that lias
as its object the enlisting of men in
good work of every character, has
taken hold of the strong men of the
natioD. The men of this community
have recently been invited to join this
country wide movement, and such a
meeting will furnish the impulse -to
make it a power locally.
Also, the meeting contemplated will
penetrate iujits influened the family life
of our community, making it better
and more wholesome, emphasizidg the
responsibilities and duties of parents,
and the corresponding duties of chil
dren. Our great educational interests
will likewise feel the bedeficient influ
ence of a successful meeting. The yiung
women and men wiio are here from a
distance fnrnish our people an opportu
nity to fix and ennoble character that
should be a constant stimulus to those
who have the future of our srate and
country at heart. Nor will the busi
ness interests fail to reap rich rewards
from'a good meeting. The depression
that has prevailed for some time in
commercial circles may he traceable in
no small part to the spirit of religious
indifference that has taken hol'd of our
people. Those who read history are
well aware that commercial prosperity
iuvariably, follows a renewing on the
part of the people of God of their vows
to him. Corresponding ndversity in
variably follows religions laxity and
godlessuess. Every man who has tried
it has found that when he honors the
God of harvests, the God of harvests
rewards him.
Tlte meeting of these earnest and
strong men and women Sunday after
noon was a recognition of these facts.
F >r one hour and a half the meeting !
discussed and devised the best plans to |
give tile greatest efficiency to the union
meeting tiiat is imminent.
It was announced bv the devotional ;
committee, of which Rev. Elam F.
Dempfev is the efficient chairman, that;
a number of cottage piayer-meetings!
were being planned for this week, in j
various parts of the city.
The executive ccmmittee was empow- j
ered to secure the Palace Theater for a
half liour’8 eervioe, from 11:80 to 131
each morning of the meeting, when the 1
evangelist will conduct a special sermon
for business men.
The music committee, whose chair
man, Prof. H. J. Gaertuer, is out of
the city, was authorized to select and
have printed iu folio form at once about
thirty gospel songs for use in the meet
ing. This committee was also urged to
organize a chorus of at least fifty
voices this week. Every one who can
sing at all is invited to volnnteei for
this great chorus. Miss Harbison, the
sweet singer that comes with the Indi
an Evangelist, will arrive in the city
next Saturday as will also the evange
list.
It was determined to take a collec
tion at every evening service during the
meeting for the purpose of defraying
the incidental expenses of the meeting
ihe evangelist asks np guarauiee of re
muneration for himself further than his
expenses from and to Now York City,
and his entertainment while here. The
singer will be paid twenty-fiye dollars
per week, traveling expenses from Ken
tucky and entertainment while here.
Mr. J. E. Kidd suggested that it would
be more pleasant and would also save
expense if some of the homes of the
community could be thrown open to
these workers, or at least one of them. I
Dr. Brannen will be glad to hear of any J
who may volunteer to help tiie meeting

SELECT COTTON
FOR SALE.
Having to buy all my planting seed last year, I
bought four varieties from select growers.
The Poulnet from Jas. M. Smith, Smithsonia, Ga.
The Toole from J. S. Nixon. Augusta, Ga.
Cleveland Big Boll from H. P. Stenheiner. Brooks, Ga
Broadwell Double Joint from E. S. Vinson, Millodge-
ville, Ga. (Second Year from Broadwell.)
We have reserved some of the best seed for planting
ourposes which we wili sell for $1 per bushel.
Planters wanting any of these varieties will please
advise me right away. It will most assuredly pay to
put $1 an acre in good seed.
Broadwell is small boll, prolific and very early.
Toole is small boll and medium in maturity.
Cleveland Big Boll very easy to pick, has long staple.
Poulnet is large boil and best storm resister of all.

As the date for putting on Mrs. Hines’
play draws nearer, tiie people of tlm
community manifest a grrat interest in
the event. It is being more talked about
than any play the club has ever under
taken.
The mystery that surrounds the play-
the secrecy ou the part of tiie author
and the players as to what it really is—
has only served to raise curiosity to the
highest pitch.
In every social gathering, great or
small—casual meeting on the street
corner, or formal assembly at some
function, the play—Mrs. Hines’ play-is
ou every tongue.
Well, the suspense will soon be over.
Only a iesv days, and curiosity may be
gratified. “The Widow’s Ruse” will
no longer remain a puzzle.
Butin the meantime author and play
ers are enjoying the guessing of their
friends, and are steadily declining to
gratify excited curiosity—further than
this: The play is a screaming farce-
comedy whose jumble o£ fun and frolic
is enough to keep a house full of Quak
ers in a roar of laughter.
Hut though the play itself is a great
secret, the music that is to give it brill-
iuit setting, is not. Except that fur-
nished by the orchestra, under the di
rection of Miss Bonuell, all the music
