which called on the governor at the i

and pleasant interview with the gov-
ernor and found that he would be de-,
lighted to attend the big event here, j
The committee also called on Su-
perintendent Sherrill, of the depart-1
ment of public instruction, and found ;
that the head of the school system of
the state was an enthusiastic fox
hunter and had no idea of declining
the invitation to come to Columbia
and participate in an event of this
character.
Other state officials were equally
as willing to accept and pledge their
suport, including the adjutant gener
al, Charles B. Rogan. The committee
was very much delighted with the
success of its mission.
Whether or not Gov. Rye will be
asked to join in an invitation to other
state executives is one that will have
to be determined by the Board of
Trade. A meeting to determine that
question will be held at an early date.

The following letter has been re

ed writer of Collier's Weekly, Julian
street:
"Mr. Morgan and I wish to thank
you for your letter, signed by Mr.
Fry, informing us of the interesting
items to be found in Maury county,
"I very much regret that our trip
does not begin until about Nov. 3rd
when we shall be at Baltimore. You
will see that, traveling on and
through the South we can hardly be
so fortunate as to reach Columbia by
Nov. 22nd, providing, even, that our
time limit makes it possible for us to
. accept your very kind invitation.
"However, the fox hunting idea ap
peals to us enormously, and we would
thank you very much if you -would let
us know if, even after the fox hunt
ers of America have finished their
week with you, there would be
chance of our seeing some fox hunt
ing down in your section. That Is,
does the hunting continue Into De
cember?
"I only wish that some fortunate
occurrence might make it possible for
us to get away sooner, and be with
you, and if we should have such good
luck, you may be sure we shall try
to come. But I fear the chances are
very slim indeed."

ANNUAL MEETING
OF ORPHAN
F
A NOTABLE Ell
FIVE HUNDRED FRIENDS AND
SUPPORTERS GATHER FOR
OCCASION.
BIG DINNER SPREAD FOR ALL
Annual Report of Superintendent
Boaz Gives a Detailed Statement of
What Has Been Done During the
Past Twelve Months.
With balmy skies, a large and bril
liant assemblage from all parts of the
county and other sections, with a din
ner ot everything that was good to
eat, with old fashioned Southern
hospitality In .evidence everywhere
and with Dr. W. T. Boaz, the super
intendent, at his best, the annual
meeting of the trustees, supporters
and friends of the Tennessee Orphan
Home today was one of the notable
events in the history of that splendid
institution.
The meeting was a large and rep
resentative one, including people
from this, Bedford, Marshall, Giles,
Lawrence and a number of other
counties. They came in automobiles.
in buggies, in wagons, on the train
and by most every sort of convey
ance. To them the Tennessee Orphan
Home is their greatest and best in-,
stitution. Its work is unquestionably
as noble as any ever done by any organization.-
It touches the heart
strings, it gets next to the best that
is ln man or woman. They have an
intimate personal interest in the
work. They came to see, to hear the
reports, to talk with the little folks
and to plan for better things for the
coming year.
There were probably not less than
50Q people present when the hour for
dinner arrived. Two long tables.
beautifully decorated in the flowers
of the season, and literally burdened
with their loads of good things to eat,
invited the numerous guests to par
take of all that they desired. There
were pickles and cakes and custards,
and pies and breads of all kinds,
fried chicken, barbecued lamb and
shoat, coffee, such a menu as would
have brought joy to the heart of the
possessor of the healthiest appetite.
It was there in abundance and more
than sufficient for the wants of all.
Before the dinner hour, Superin
tendent Boaz assembled the trustees
and all who were interested in the
work and read a a complete, detailed
and itemized report of the receipts
and disbursements for the past year.
Every cent of receipts of more than
$7,000 was accurately and minutely
accounted for. It was such a report
as gave every person present an Inti
mate idea of the financial side of the
honre and also made them appreciate
what a burden the superintendent of
such an institution must bear.
In the course of his remarks and
comment on the work of the home
during the past year Superintendent
Boaz paid a high tribute to the King's
Daughters. He said that case after
case had been sent to the hospital,
but that no charge had ever been
made against the home.
The occasion was a great one. It
gave to everyone who attended, who
saw the splendid opportunities that
this institution gives to all who oth
erwise would be cast a adrift, a high
er and better conception of this mag
nificent charity. They went away
more than ever convinced of the good
that their dollars Invested in this
home have done for the cause of hu
manity. The trustees were all loud ln their
praises of Superintendent Boaz and
his splendid wife, to whose Untiring
effirts la due the lion's share of the
credit for the success of the home.

"SAFETY FIRST,"
ON DINING CARS
EMPLOYES AIDING IN PREPARA
TION OF FOOD MUST UNDER
GO EXAMINATION.
An order recently issued by Gener
al Manager O. B, Carson, of the N.,
C. & St. L.! Railway and approved by
President Peyton is to the effect that
every employe of the system who has
anything to do with the handling of
or preparation of food to be offered
to the public in the dining cars or
the restaurants of the company shall
first be examined. These examina
tions are held periodically and no
person who has been subjected to, or
who is suffering from any communi
cable disease is permitted to aid in
the work, either in the diners or res
taurants, or in the private cars.
This is but another step in the
safeguarding the public and further
ing the "safety first" idea, although
the N. & C has carried the slogan a
bit further and has added three more
words to the motto "and courtesy
always."
