lias absconded, acknowledging
tliat he is at fault for the wrecking of
the concern of which lie was the secretary.
A few days ago he was denounced
by crowds of much excited individuals
who thronged the streets.
His only not of reparation was the
conveying of his property here to the |
directors of the Stock I'lillding Asxo- |
j ciation. This property was scheduled i
at ti valuation of W?,00(), hut an Invos- I
ligation proves that it would sell for !
no more titan $.">000.
Richard Howell was one of the oris- ,
Inat'os of the Stock RuUditig Assoeia- j
tioii. which was fotined in 1*71. He j
was made its tirst secretary, and lie
held litai position to the day he mysteriously
disappeared.
There liacl been some ugly rumors
afloat, hut no one gave them serious
thought, and little attention was paid !
to the absence of IIowoll until he had '
been gone several days. Then ques- |
tions were asked, and it was learned
that lie had sent to Heorge It. l.angley. ;
the I'resident of the Association, a
package containing deeds to all of his I
property in this part of tlio State.
It wns feared Mint the association j
was in serious difficult! 's. lint quiet j
was restored when it was anouuecd i
that Mr. Howell's property was worth \
S: 50.0(H). A meeting of tlie stoekhold- i
ers was called, and there was a full at- j
i tendance. Many went there expecting I
j to hear had news, tint the worst fears
of the most pessimistie were far more
than realized. Although the officers i
and direc tors of the association were i
present they would not talk. They j
were represented by Walter Ha eon. of '
Bridget on. who l;:ui heen employed as I
| counsel.
Mr. ltaeoti said that a shortage had
heen created during the last month, j
He added that for years the affairs of
til - association had heen in had shape.
It was thought that the income of the j
association had heen close to $552,000a
year during the last two years. Instead
of Unit it was but $12.0(H).
Mr. Howell, who had charge of the i
una mnde n practice of
crediting nil money received to the account
of profit. So when loans had
lioon repaid ho hml added the principal
to the profit account, making it possiiile
to pay the interest regularly and
keep every one pleased. It is a fact j
that for years the eapital of the asso- j
eiation lias heon used to pay dividends.
Mr. Bacon closed his remarks with
the suggestion that one of throe 1
courses must lie pursued. If business
is to lie continued the capital must be
replenished. If business is not to ho
i continued bankruptcy should be nc;
ceptcd. The third alternative is tho
appointment of a receiver.
One of, the stockholders nskc.'. :liat
' experts be employed to go over the
hooks and accounts. This was objeetj
od to by Mr. Bacon on the ground that
there is no money to pay the Increased
expense. Tito stockholders became
rather ugly, and Insisted upon having
their own way. A committee was. then
appointed, and all efforts to have one
of the present directors made h member
of that committee failed. Mr.
Langley was asked if he knew where
Mr. Howell had gone, lie refused to
answer the question.
The situation here Is pitiful. Hundreds
of stockholders, most of tlieni

THESE CLUB WOMEN
" # ?
Bill Arp's Regular Weekly Contribution.
PHILOSOPHER GIVES HIS OPINIONS
On the Modern Tendencies Towards }
Women's HmaucipMion From Her
Former Condition.
I've been watching these women?
these club women. For a long time 1
did not like the name, but I am reconciled.
1 never vist nl a man's club but
once. It was a gathering of very nice.
well behaved social gentlemen with
eatables anil drinkables in the background.
but no body patrt.ok to ex<;ess
while I was there. The excess came af|
terwards, il it eanie at all. But a wo]
man's elub lias neither eatables nor
drinkables nor cigars. Of course it is
a very social gathering but they mean
business and they do it. Only a few
years ago a few ladies of this town determined
to do sonu riling for the town
and they formed "The Cherokee Club."
and soon had more members and went
to work. All the members had passed
their teens and the married ones had
laid by their erop. They secured a charter
and then got a lease from the city
and tlio state for fifty years control of
the ground between the hotel block
and ttie railroad anil adorned it with
grass and gravel walks and enclosed it
with a chain feme and placed handsome
iron seats by the shade trees and
piantod a beautiful fountain in ttie t enter
and peopled it with gold fish. This
beautiful park is the frolicing ground
for the children and a cheerful resting
place for their tired mothers and ,
a trystlng place for youiy; men and
maidens. Near l?y the traius are pass- j
ins at all hours, and our new beautiful
passenger depot is near at hand, where
our people congregate to receive their i
friends or bid them goodby. And the |
club did it all, for the old depot would
still be there if the women had not
s tirred up the men to demand another. I
Then these women began to plant
flowers and shrubbery in the school
house grounds .anil next they started
a small library in a small room, and
circulated good books among our pen- i
pie and they kept on and on until they
got a larger room and more books. |
and kept it open two days in a week. !
and the demand for books soon wl- |
dened to the country and every week I
they sent out four boxes of sixty vol- j
times each along the mail routes, and !
so have established a rural circulating |
library that lias proven a blessing to |
our country hoys and girls, and the
books always come back unhurt and
are sent out en another mission. Next
these good women started a sewing
society among the poorer classes in our
community and are taking turns in
teaching the girls how to cut garments
and make them and where they are
very poor they give them aid and comfort.
It is all charity .Hut last of all
and best of all they have actually laid
the foundation of a Club Library
building that will hold thousands of
hooks and wh"ro all '.ho host magazines
of tho country will ho tukon. The
city fathers gave them a beautiful lot
and if the weather permits the building
will bo linishod and paid for and occupied
in three months. It will not only
ho a library for books but a place for
rest for tho traveling man as well as
for our country friends an I their wives j
and daughters when they come to
town, liosides these uses it. is intended
to have literary and musical entertainments
there that will lie far more elevating
and refining than tho average
shows that perform in our opera house.
These women organized a iyceum
course for two winters and succeeded
fairly well, but to send afar off for lecturers
costs too much for a town of
this size and so they are going to secure
home tal?nt and talent from Atlanta
and Home and Dalton and have
entertainments at popular prices, say
at 10 cents admission, as Professor
Proctor, the great astronomer did up
north. He told me he never charged
more in a manufacturing town and always
gave the working people the preference
of seats and always had a
crowded house. It was n cheap and delightful
school to them. What these
c lub women will do next I do not know,
but tluy mean business. They mean to
elevate their own sex first and if the
men and boys come in they will find
a welcome. I suppose that this library
building will he the first that any club
has erected in the state, and what I
wish to remark and emphasize is that
there is not a respectable town or village
in the state but can do something
on this same line.
Now I hear you ask, where did you
got the money to do all this? "Heaven
helps those who help themselves." Our
women began with very little .The railroad
gave them SilO to start on arid
gave them part of tho seats in the
park. Then the club gave an oyster
supper and made a good little sum.
Later on they held a bazaar, and inter
en a concert, and after awhile another
supper, and nil along at intervals thev
cmnt <1 ?u inn irercnants and others
and ' '>{ si.me 1 mo money nn 1 when

big hearted man and his wife in your
community like we have you will not
l?t eomo bankrupt. Where there is a wMl
there Is a way. And n.y observation is
lbn; women ran do any good thing they
combine on.
A thoughtful man who witn -so 1 th

people than everything rise. God bless
the women."
Lord Itaeon said. "Knowledge Is
power." It is force. It is money. A good
library is better than a university. Dr.
Johnson said. "Knowledge is the wing
with which we 11 y to heaven." One of
my boys (Prank I is a civil engineer

belonged to General Sickles' brigade, \
and two days after a battle in Virginia
in ]Sf>2 he found in the woods the dead
body of a confederate soldier and lie j
and comrade dug a grave and buried :
him. In his pocket was found a pass
from Colonel John S. Iloid. eoloiu 1
commanding Third Georgia regiment,
and the name of the soldier was 1). 1'.
Williams. Also another pass from Cap- ;
tain I). B. Langston, commanding com- '

I find in General Avery's roster the i

1 wrote in a former letter that the '
hears of Mississippi had held a eonven- i
tion and resolved not to come out of j

or president who slandered Mr. Davis. ;
I am pleased to read that Governor
Longitu) did not invite him there and |
that the veterans of Memphis will not 1
nttend the ovation that Memphis has i
promised him. After denouncing Mr. !
Davis (who was dead) us the arch ?.aitor
and rcpudiator. it seems to tne to i
lie the most unblushing impudence for
him to put liis feet on that hallowed
ground. He says in his so-called history .
that when Mr. Davis was governor he I
vetoed the hill that was passed to nay
the repudiated <iehts. when the truth is
Mr. Davis never was governor, nor aid
he ever advoent 1 repudiation. Teddy,
old hoy. when are you going to rotraet
and send an apology to Mrs. Davis,
who still lives. You say in your hook
that we were till traitors and anarchists.
How about your I'nele Captain
Hullorh. who served with Admiral
Senimrs in our navy, of whom you
wrote so gushingly to Mr. Cunningham,
saying he was a most admirable man
and very like the Colonel Newr >tu of
Thackeray? Was he a traitor, too? Hut
Cunningham ?nys Teddy is till right
and showers editorial praise upon him J
