CAPT. ROBERTS
IS HONORED
JUSTICE ROBERTS OFFERED
RANK OF MAJOR WHICH
HE DECLINED ON ACCOUNT OF
AGE AND HEALTH.
Justice of the Peace A. P. Roberts,
who was a gallant Confederate sol
dier during the war, has been tender
ed the position of aide-de-camp on
the staff of Commander J. H. Martin.
Georgia division, U. C. V., with the
rank of major.
Capt. Roberts, however, has de
clined the appointment with thanks,

81 years, and the feeble condition of
his health, which would hinder him
from actively taking part as an offi
cer in the work.
This is the second Dalton veteran
in two days to be created a major, the
rank having been conferred on Major
Jos. Bogle yesterday.

the South was entering on an era of
prosperity never dreamed of by peo

activity and intelligent co-operation
of Southern agriculturists, merchants
and business men. The address of
welcome was delivered by Governor

president of the congress, made the
response Senator Duncan U. Fletch
er, of Florida. Asa G. Candler, of At

I ure, and George Westinghouse, fa-
I mous inventor of the air brake, were

rives tomorrow. President Taft ar

velt will be here Thursday, and will

GANIZATION-MEET NEXT AT
CHATSWORTH.

county Tuesday where he organized a
Boys’ corn club at Spring Place. The
meeting was attended by two or three

interest was manifested.
The meeting was called to order by
Hon. C. N. King, and Dr. Bradford
was introduced, making an instruc
tive and entertaining talk, explain
ing the object of the Boys’ Corn Clubs
of the district. Rev. J. C. Adams also
made an interesting and instructive
Jalk along the same line. A large
number of the young farmers of Mur
ray were present, and before the meet
ing closed an organization was per
fected, the organization starting out
with twenty-six enrolled in the mem
bership.
The organization of the Boys’ corn
Club in Murray resulted in the elec-
I tion of the following officers:
Leonard Kemp, president.
Murray King, vice president.
Cecil Harris, secretary.
Luther Latimer, treasurer.
The chib starts out with flattering
prospects and the membership will
he largely increased and no doubt will

ing at Chatsworth on March 23, the
same date the agricultural train visits
that city.
BIG BIBLE MEET
OPENS TOMORROW
Atlanta, March B—The8 —The thirteenth
annual Tabernacle Bible conference,
which opens here tomrrow, to re
main in session through March 20th,
attracting wide attention not only as
a religious gathering, but because of
the magnificent music that will be
a feature this year. A big chorus has
been especially trained for the singing,
and Charles Butler, famous all over
the workl for his famous singing with
Dr. Torrey, Dr. Chapman and Mr.
Alexander, will be the principal solo
ist. Well known local singers will
also take part in stffne of the special
programs.
It was only possible to secure the
services of Mr. Butler after Dr.
Broughton, director of the conference,
had persuaded him to cancel some of
his other dates in order that he might
come to Atlanta. He will have full
charge of all the music, and will do
his special solo work in addition.
While under the auspices of the
Baptist tabernacle and for that rea
son of particular interest to Bap
tists throughout the state, this is by
no means a strictly denominational
gathering, but is annually attended
by hundreds of Bible students of oth
er denominations.
Dr. Campbell Morgan, of London,
England, one of the greatest Bible
Bible scholars in the world, arrives
today. Other noted scholars and
speakers are already coming in from
all sections of the United States. The
conference opens with a sacred concert
tomorrow night.
