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.

M3l 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 AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. The Banquet. After the exercises at the Opera House ended the trustees adjourned to the Hotel Genesta," where they, with the members of the University faculty, here from Athens, were ten dered a very delightful banquet.

Hayne. “Our Legal Advisors”—Judge E. H. Callaway. "Our Medical Faculty”—Dr. Eugene Murphey. “Our Spiritual Advisors’ Rev. Howard T. Cree. “Augusta of the Future” —Dr. J. R.

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 Week End Tickets $4.50 Friday to Monday 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.
