There’s nothing fills the soul with
with peace
Like healthy, honest labor.
If thus employed the world would
cease
To wield the sword and saber.
If you engage in pulling stumps
'Twill keep you out of trouble—
Instead of getting in the dumps
Your joy will be more than double.
If railroad irons you will deport
Until you sweat and lather,
'Tis better than to be a sport
And do the things you’d rather.
If any chore your gizzard grieves,
And dares you to begin it,
Just grit your teeth, roll up your
sleeves,
«4nd grab that task and skin it.

! opera Cavalleria Rusticana. She was
1 in splendid voice and her acting was
convincing and showed careful study.
Miss Catherine Davenport sank the
part of Lola in the same opera. Her
voice'was never shown to better ad
vantage and she, with unusual charm,
portrayed the heartless Lola in a fas
cinating and irresitible manner.
Miss Blanche Snider sang Lola in a
performance of the same opera which
was given on July 21st. She display
ed a voice of unusual beauty of tone

The unusual advantages afforded

not only does the school stand for
technical and artistic excellence in
every branch and department, but
. also for musicianship in its broadest
sense.

FELDER WILL PULL
THROUGMJUTTING
ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 7. —Present in
dications are that Thomas B. Felder
will recover from the knifs wound of
D. K. Vason, doorkeeper of the house
of representatives, who attacked the
well known attorney in the Kimball
House Thursday night.
Friends of Felder have made an un
successful effort to have Vason more
closely confined at police station, but
have been informed by the police au
thorities that a prisoner who pays for
a special officer to guard him is al
ways allowed certain liberties. It is
stated that ason lounges around po
lice headquarters like a visitor, and
goes across the street to a soda foun
tain whenever he wants a drink.
It is learned on reliable authority
that a strong effort will be made at
the trial of Vason to show that his at
tack on Felder was deliberate and
premeditated.
In this connection several members
of the legislature who attended the
caucus on the Savannah recall bill,
which caucus was held a short while
before A’ason stabbed Felder, will be
summoned to testify that they saw
Vason come to the door of the room
where the caucus was being held, and
stand at the door with his eye on
Felder. They will also be asked to tes
tify that they saw Vason and his mys
terious companion stand close to Fel
der and watch him when Felder step
ped outside of the room into the hall
way for a few moments.
It has been currently rumored that
ihe man with Vason when he made the
attack on Felder was a member of the
house of representatives. Several men
who attended the above mentioned
caucus, and who rushed into the Har
lis headquarters when the stabbing
took place, privately express the opin
that Vason’s companion was a
member of the house, but they are not
prepared to state positveiy.

ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 7. —President
John T. Brantley, of the state sani

the money imperatively needed to re

that institution cannot be raised in
any other way, it should be done by
submitting a constitutional amendment
tc the people providing for a bond is
sue for that specified purpose to the
extent required.
He repeats that if the necessary
steps are not taken to relieve these
conditions, it will become necesary for
the trustees to refuse to accept further
patients from ar.y county in the state,
except as the present inmates die ar
are discaarg-ed as cured.
