Mr. Billups stated today the new
service on the Georgia Railroad is
working splendidly and that a much
greater amount of business is being
done by the new fast trains than was
expected in so short a time. The great
amount of travel shows how badly the
service was needed, according to Mr.
Billups.

Twenty Young Men Receiv d
Their iVi. D. Degree at the
Opera House Last Night
Hon. W. M. Howard Made Deep Impression on Graduates and
Others By His Remarks—Six Highest Men Wert D. C. Col
son, W. R. Hagins, J. A. Johnson, L. C. McAfee, F. L. Ware
and Talmage Wilson—Banquet For Trustees Given By the
Faculty Afterward.
A large number of friends of the
students and others who are interest
ed in the welfare of the institution
were present last night at the Grand
Opera House for the graduation exer
cises of the Medical Department of
the University of Georgia. There
were twenty young men to graduate.
The exercises were opened with
prayer, led by Rev. S. P. Wiggins,
pastor of St. John Methodist Church,
who also delivered the benediction.
The music was furnished by Balk’s
Orchestra and was a beautiful fea
ture of the commencement program.
The several numbers on the program
were interspersed with the orches
tra’s playing.
In Cap and Gown.
The commencement of last night
was as impressive as any of the sea
son —the graduates, trustees and the
members of the faculty seated on tbs
stage and all clothed in black cap
and gown.
Judge E. H. Callaway, president of
the board of trustees, presided over
the exercises.
Dr. W. C. Lyle, vice dean, took the
place of the dean, Dr. W. H. Doughty.
Departing from the custom of an
nouncing the honors for the grad
uates in the first, second, third order,
etc. It was then stated that the same
honor would be conferred upon the
six doctors who made the highest
averages, and the following names
were read by the vice dean:
Doctors D. C. Colson, W. R. Hagins,
J. A. Johnson, L. C. McAfee, F. L.
Ware and Talmadge Wilson.
Degrees Conferred.
Chancellor David C. Barrow of the
University of Georgia delivered the
diplomas, the names being read by
Dr. Llye. As each young doctor
slowly came forward and stood be
fore the chancellor, his Degree of
Doctor of Medicine was conferred up
on him in the following style: “By
virtue of the authority vested in me
by the trustees of the University of
Georgia, I confer on you the degree
of doctor of medicine, with all its
rights and privileges. ’
After delivering the twenty diplo
mas, Chancellor Barrow spoke earn
estly and forcefully to the class of
graduates, giving them profitable ad
vice, which, if followed, will mean
what it has meant to other great phy
sicians who have graduated from the
Medical Department of the University
of Georgia.
Mr. Howard’s Address.
Next the address to the graduates
was made by Hon. W. M. Howard, of
this city. First of all, he said, that
he deeply felt the influence that the
knowledge of medicine has played in
the wonderful development of the
world. He said that had it not been
for this science many of the greatest
achievements of recent years could
never have been realized. He cited
as the greatest example oT this the
Panama Canal, where, at the begin
ning, fever was prevalent throughout
the section of tjhe isthmus in which
Americans undertook to work year
after year and make their home day
in and day out. Had it not been for
the present day knowledge of medi
cine, according to the speaker, this
immense undertaking could have
never been done. Health, he said,
was the government’s first considera
tion and straightaway with the aid of
its doctors it immediately wiped this
menace off the zone. Numerous other
cases were referred to where it was
ofpially as important that the medical
science should be first, consulted.
How Greatness Comes.
That the measure of their success
might he gratifying to them, and may
be modified or substituted by disap
pointment, the speaker prevailed
upon the graduates to in their practice
avoid doing anything that they may
think will make them great. Great
ness never has nor ever will come as
a result of desire, said ihe. Greatness
comes as a result, he added, of the
unconscious service that fosters the
various elements that make a man
stand out conspicuously beyond his
regular sphere of activity. /
In touching briefly on hbw the
young doctors should be repaid for
their professional services, Mr. How
ard Aaid that if the material returns
are the only reward that they seek
and rbceive. they will find themselves
disappointed for, as he said, anything
less than all the money In the world
does not satisfy desire for money, but
engenders discontent and disappoint
ment.
In Touch With Alma Mater.
In concluding Ms remarks, which
lasted not more than thirty minutes,
ho asked the young men to keep
themselves in constant touch with
the University Medical College, tak
ing advantage of whatever new dis
coveries are made along scientific
lines, and give their patients the
benefit of such. He said that the
Medical College should be their relay
station. A physician’s Alma Mater,
said he, should be to him what the
ammunition wagon Is to the army.
The class valedictory, a short but
interesting speech was then delivered
by Dr. Erie T. Newsom, the only
class speaker, It was well delivered
and made a lasting Impression upon
all who heard it.
Addressed Audience.
After addressing the trustees, the
faculty and his fellow classmates, the
speaker addressed the audience, say
ing;
“To you people of the fair city of
Augusta we extend the parting hand
with emotions of especial regret; we
came Into your midst quietly, but we
celeibrate our departure; we came un
tried. unlearned, but we go bearing
the marks of discipline; we came
with our careers scarcely yet opened,
hut we go with our careers as stu
dents finished. It was to you that we
came as strangers seeking knowl
edge. friends and home It is In your
midst that we have tarried thus long
with plea-iure and profit. It is from
your midst that we shall depart to
pursue the mission we have chosen
In the great outer world. When the
brows that now flush high with
youthful ambition shall become with
ered by tne advance of age, per
chance we might look baek, as to a
bright sunbeam In the shadows of the
past, to this city and to well remem
bered faces to which we now say
good-bye.”

The Banquet.

House ended the trustees adjourned

tend to use every effort t» maintain
secrecy as to the names of the indi
viduals who are to take temporary
charge of the government, until all
elements have assented to tho plan
or actual change in government is ac
complished. There is every reason
to believe, however, that already the
Washington government has in Us
possession a list of names from which
five men acceptable to It eventually
will be agreed upon. The suggestions
were made by tho Mexicans, and the
theory under which the United States
is being asked to approve some of
them Is that it has a right to Indicate
who it will or will not recognize. It
is probable that this list also has
been sent to General Huerta.
Fair to All.
It is understood there will be no
reference in the protocol to details
of future elections. The protocol
will declare simply for a general elec
tion, fair to all factions, and looking
to the restoration of permanent gov
ernment.
The Mexican delegates have looked
with disfavor upon the proposal of a
provisional commission government
pending an election. They have con
tended that It would bo unconstitu
tional. The mediators who are un
derstood to have conceived tho idea
originally have found a way to bridge
that difficulty by preserving the
forms of the Mexican constitution.
The provisional president and four
ministers, to all intents und purposes
will act as a. unit in resolving the va
rious questions Incident to re-estab
lishment of a permanent government.
Executive Powers.
The executive power, according to
tho Mexican constitution, is vested in
the president, who can bestow it
upon cabinet officials. The four men
who would act with the new provis
ional president would doubtless take
charge of the departments of foreign
relations, finance, war and interior.
Sub-secretaries would continue in
charge of tile other departments.
Confidence is expressed that an
agreement or protocol will be drawn

up and perhaps signed within a week.
Tlie mediators are anxious for a
speedy settlement as are also the
Mexican delegates. The Mexicans
already have Huerta's approval for
the main points in the plan.
The Constitutionalists.
Interests of the constitutionalists
are being kept in mind by the media
tors. Names agreed upon for the new
provisional government are expected
to be such as the constitutionalists
might endorse. The mediators, how
ever, do not oxpect the question of
