Judge Hammond's Speech
on Significance of Visit
“The Significance of the President
elect’s Sojourn In Georgia,” was the
[theme of a happy effort by Judge
Henry C. Hammond, at the banquet
to Judge Taft at Hampton Terrace
Wednesday night.
Judge Hammond said:
"Mr. Toastmaster:
“The spirit of the occasion is es-,
sent tally social and convivial. This
spirit lias been Inspired by our guest
of honor. In taking stock of Mr.
Tuft’s presidential qualifications, one
Item seems to have been omitted.
We insist on adding it to the bill of
particulars. It Is the Taft Chuckle.
This chuckle, distinctive, melodious,
genuine, philosophical. Is Infectious.
You cannot inoculate against it. The
Taft chuckle should ho studied as an
art. To get perfectly, one must,
first get a strong healthy body, a
keen, clear intellect and a pure heart.
Then he must stand straight up,
throw his head hack and let it roll.
While this spirit is pervasive of the
table still there are borne in upon
us this evening many serious though
not unhappy thoughts.
"The individual must survive se
vere physical and mental blows in
the course of Ills growth, if, in the
end, he Is to lie counted among the
worthy. So the country that survives
ns such must have the strength to
withstand the shook of war from
without and war from within. The
Union was born in blood, and three
quarters of a century thereafter was
subjected to an internal convulsion
I hat shook its foundations. It would
be untimely to attempt discussion of
the right and wrong that led io that
great conflict. Many of the (laming
issues of that tlnu are now ashes.
PATRIOTIC VIEW
OF THE WAR.
“A patriotic view of the war of half
n century ago, is that It was uuavold
able. Inevitable, a thing that had to
be. No true American citizen will
contemplate the war or it's conse
quences with partisan exultation or
resentment, but rather as an event in
our national growth, demonstrating
our Inherent vitality as a people. The ,
gaping wound made by the war in
the nation’s resources was hero in
the South.
"When a wound is made in our
body all the other agencies of tlie
system at once concentrate their re
pairing force in healing the injured
member—so when a great injury is
inflicted upon some particular sec
tion of a country, thnt country* as a
whole can survive only by focalizing
its curative influences ugon the in
jured section. When the injury is
wrought by deep and bitter feeling,
the restorative processes nre slow
indeed. Hut be it remembered that
the life of a nation is counted in cen
turies and thnt the curative influences
following upon the war are now well
under way.
“As a niembi r of the Georgia legis
lature, it was my honor to urge, in
belialt of my fellow townsmen, tin
invitation to President McKinley/to
lislt Augusta. That invitation was
accepted nod we all recall with pride
and reverence bis visit, it was my
privilege to hear from the benign Ups
of the martyred president the prop
osition that the Federal government
should take into Its care and keeping
the graves of the Confederate dead
in our National cemeteries.
A NOBLE
SUGGESTION.
’ The country north and south rose
In response to this noble suggestion.
Had President McKinley come to the
south at that time with assurances
of substantial recognition and aid on
the part of the Nationul government
it would have been received with com
placency. Hut his fine sensitive na
ture longed to touch thff deep springs
of southern sentiment. He saw and
felt the necessity of appealing to the
South by way of these tender emo
lions, so dear to her. An ex-union of
ficer. a republican president—still in
public utterance he proclaimed that
the soldier of the south—Uke the
THE AUGUSTA HERALD .
soldier of the north was a hero and
a patriot, worthy of all the honor the
nation could bestow.
HERE WAS
AN OVERTURE.
“Here was an overture, gentle,
sympathetic, winning. It was received
with enthusiasm in all parts of the
country, though its profound import
was slow to dawn upon the peopie.
Now it is realized to the utmost. It
was the entering wedge.
“Then came the outspoken, impetu
ous whole-souled Roosevelt, making
his whirlwind tours through the
South enthusing the young and the
old with his message of good cheer
and friendship. Of course his critics
are numerous, not more so at the
South than elsewhere, but the great
consensus of unbiased opinion must
be' that President Roosevelt's admin
istration has made essentially for the
good and the unification of the whole
nation. Now we have the third and
'last advance In this presidential in
vasion.
“It would seem to be casual, in
deed accidental, that the president
elect should have come to Georgia
for retirement and rest —to get mind
and body in condition to take up the
onerous burdens soon to be laid upon
his ample shoulders. Mr. Taft pro
tests that no political color can be
given his sojourn in Georgia and in
this he is, of course, perfectly sin
cere.
“He avers he is here to bask in our
sunshine, breath our balmy air, pur
sue only outdoor pastimes, enjoy fam
ily and friends. But there is a much
deeper meaning in Mr. Taft's visit to
the South. It was doubtless some
subtle influence which drew him to
this section which has never before
been resided in by a republican presi
dent or president-elect.
“Whatever may have been the rec
ognized incentive, we believe there
must have been some subconscious
realization of the timeliness of a
visit, to this hitherto politically alien
land. His coming here in the first
instance, his course while here, has
in it a national significance.
CORDIALLY
RESPONSIVE.
“Instead of living the life of the
recluse, the student, the health seek
er, the wily politician, he has been
cordially responsive to every demand
made upon him. He has accepted
with infinite patience every invita
tion extended, eaten without regard
to quality the food set before him.
He has not been oracular or re
served in his speech, but freoly and
candidly he has let the people of the
South know where they will find him.
He has given us these assurances:
absolute fairness in ail governmental
matters as far as he shall control
t hem: a purpose to appoint men to
Federal office in the South whose
characters shall commend them to
their fellow-citizens here.
“No man who has met and talked
with Mr. Taft can doubt that he fully
appreciates the boundless resources of
the South and the pressing need for
their development. He will further
not only the South's material wel
fare. but will aid In the wise solu
tion of her great social problems.
"Mr. Taft, there Is somewhat of
the miraculous in the Results of your
short residence In Georgia. You came
to swing a golf club and you admit
you swung It poorly, but. sir, as
statesman and patriot you have wield
ed a mighty sledge with which you
have welded the Fnion anew.”

AGNES SCOTT ASKS
FRIENDS FDR AID
ATLANTA, Ga. —Trustees of Agnes
Scott college are preparing to begin
an active canvass of the city to se
cure the $130,000 which would bring
to the school $350,000 and enable it
to supply imperative needs. It is the
opinion of the trustees that the citi
zens of Atlanta will be ready and
willing to come liberally to the aid
of an Atlanta institution at a time
which is almost a crisis in its his
tory.
The importance of securing a sub
scription at this time of $130,000 to
Agnes Scott college cannot be over
estimated. The school has really
reached a crisis. It is now where it
demands expansion and development,
and it is only through this subscrip
tion that such expansion and develop
ment can be secured.
One hundred and thirty thousand
dollars subscribed now means
that $350,000 will be secured to the
school. It means that facilities
which'are absolutely necessary will
be obtained. It means that an endow
ment fund, which is needed quite as
much, will be obtained.
If $130,000 is not subscribed, it
simply means that the school will
get nothing and that the expansion
and development demanded cannot
come. Two hundred and twenty thou
sand dollars has been subscribed to
the college with the provision that
$350,000 be ultimately subscribed.
One hundred and thirty thousand
dollars subscribed now will mean
$350,000 for the school. The failure
to subscribe $130,000 will mean noth
ing for the school.
John D. Rockefeller, through the
general educational board, first sub
scribed SIOO,OOO to the college pro
vided the school itself would raise
$250,000. Friends of the school have
subscribed $120,000 of this amount,
but unless the additional $130,000 is
secured, the school will get nothing.
The need for more money at the
school is very pressing. It must have
an additional dormitory; it must have
more class rooms, and it must have
another academy building. At pres
ent it has no endowment fund. It
must have an endowment fund of
adequate size.

Charcoal Removes
Stomach Poisons
Pure Charcoal Witl Absorb One Hun
dred Times Its Volume In
Poisonous Gases.
Charcoal was made famous by the
old monks of Spain, who cured all
manner of stomach, liver, blood and
bowel troubles by this simple remedy.
One little nervous Frenchman held
forth its virtues before a famous con
vention of European physicians and
surgeons. Secheyron was his name.
He was odd, quaint and very determ
ined. His brothers in medicine
laughed at his claims. Thereupon he
swallow-ed tw-o grains of strychnine,
enough to kill three men, and ate
some charcoal. The doctors thought
him mad, but he did not even have
to go to bed. The charcoal killed the
effects of the strychnine and Sechey
ron was famous. Ever since that day
physicians have used it. Run impure
water through charcoal and you have
a pure, delicious drink.
Bad breath, gastritis, bowel gases,
torpid liver, impure blood, etc., give
way before the action of charcoal.
It is really a wonderful adjunct.to
nature and is a most inexhaustible
storehouse of health to the man or
woman who suffers from gases or im
purities of any kind.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are
made of pure willow charcoal, sweet
ened to a palatable state with honey.
Two or three of them cure an ordi
nary case of bad breath. They should
be used after every meal, especially
if one's breath is prone to be impure.
These little lozenges have nothing
to do with medicine. They are just
sweet, fresh willow, burned to a
nicety for charcoal making and frag
rant honey, the product of the bee.
Thus every ingredient comes to man
from the lap of nature.
The only secret lies in the Stuart
process of compressing these simple
substances Into a hard tablet or loz
enge, so that age. evaporation or de
cay may not assail their curative
qualities.
A'ou may take as many of them as
you wish and the more you take the
quicker will you remove the effects of
bad breath and Impurities arising
from a decayed or decaying meal.
They assist digestion, purify the blood
and help the intestines and bowels
throw off all waste matter.
Go to your druggist at once and buy
a package of Stuart’s Charcoal Loz
enges, price 25 cents. You will soon
be told by your friends that your
breath is not so bad as It was. Send
us your name and address and we
will send you a trial package by mail
free. Address F. A. Stuart Co, 200
