Kvwi Northerners Join in Training i it ' tW Oglethorpe School. ? ii ,i w Great interest ii* U?Ui? taken in the military training .school for business tuen of the South, which the Govern ment has established at Fort Ogle thorpe, Ga., near the Tennessee Hue. Tile school will draw a largo attend uico from all sections of the South east. The fact that the personnel of the school Is not limited to residents <?f the South Is bringing a number of men here from the North. This is considered by such visitors a good op portunity to visit the South, and they are taking advantage of it. The government having located this camp in Georgia, this state is nat urally taking spevlal interest In the amp, l^iudau Thomas of Augusta Go./was named as lu^ul of of tXe State organization. It Is Mr. Thomas' plan to have a State committee made up ' f representatives from a number of the larger cities of Georgia. They will lend their Influences, give advice and help organize local committees of men enrolled or expcctlng to enroll for the camp. Realizing that the schools, colleges and universities are the great reser voirs from which all future develoi> ment may be exacted the authorities u charge of the (Georgia camp will make an effort JUJL get at least -one member of each faculty to attend a training camp. He will be asked to serve on a committee located at the Institution which he represents. The committees at educational in stitutions will seek to keep the alumni advised as to the activities at the c&mpa and the advantages to be de rived froih enrolling. The committee also Will work in the Interest of the 'camp among the undergraduates of I the school who will be urged to at tend the trainftig school for soldiers. The Military Training Camps' Asso ciation has secured a selected list of 250,000 names of undergraduates and graduates to whom will be forwarded circulars regarding the military train ing camp movement. r? The camp in Georgia will be con ducted along lines similar to those of the Plattsburg camp In 1015. While +he patriotic motive is regarded as the most powerful consideration tx> impel men to attend the camps, their advantages from an individual stand point are to be emphasized. ?

The following special sent out from Laurens under date of Jan. 24, will b6 read with. interest in Oaimfen, where Mr. Lawson was for several years pas tor of the Baptist church here: "At a congregational meeting at the First Baptist church Sunday the resig nation of the pastor, the Rev. M. L. Lawson, was presented by the board -of deacons, with the recommendation that it be accepted. On motion, the board's recommendation was accepted '?y tile* church. In his letter of resigna tion, addressed to the board of dea i cons, Mr. Lawson stated that hia wnHnn : was final and that he desired that it be accepted with discussion. This re I juest was observed in the letter of recommendation and also in the meet ing of the congregation. The resigna tion, as indicated in his letter to the board, is effective March 12. "The resignation of Mr. Lawson came as a great surprise to- the church. The matter had been in the hands of the church officials, It is understood, for several weeks, but they could not prevail on the pastor to reconsider. There is a feeling of very deep regret throughout the entire membership that their pastor had reached a decision to ?lever his pastoral relations with the church, and at the proi>er time reso lutions to this effect will be presented and adopted. "Mr. Lawson came to the First Baj> tist church as pastor April 15, 1013, following his resignation of the pas torate of the Baptist church at Cam den. He succeeded the Rev. WV E. Thayer, and his pastorate here has been eminently successful. The future plans of Mr. Lawson are not stated. He is regarded as one of the leading preachers and pastors of the Baptist lenomlnation in this state. He has held some fine pastorates, l>oth In South Carolina and his native state of Geor gia during tile past twerify years. As the third pastor of the First Baptist church of Laurens in the last 35 years he has filled the place with the same distinguished fidelity and ministerial ability that characterized in so large a measure his predecessors."

Two shots took efTect lit the head, one thought to be a fa tal wound, the other was a glancing shot and did not penetrate the back part of the head. It was thought that it wafi only a question of a short while before he would be dear!. His strong, constitu tion stood him so well and after a closer examination of the wounds, the doctors said he had a fighting chance Cor life and Immediately had him re moved to the hospital, and up to this writing Is still alive and may recover. .The caus4? of the shooting is unknown as all parties are reticent Mr. Gay lard has been arrested and is In jail. -KESlshopville Vindicator.

Term May Have Had Ite Origin In the Far Eaet. The origin of the term "Indian sum mer," like that of tho word "blizzard," has been the subject of much research. It has been traced back only as far as the |atter part of tho eighteenth cen tury, and it did not becomo common until after tho first decade of the nine teenth. Many explanations of tho name have been offered, all of which assume that the term "Indian" used in this connec tion refers to the American Indians. A recent noto in the Monthly VVeath er Review calls attention to a totally different use of this term, In which the reference is not to the Amorican In dians, but to East India. Under tho British board of trade reg ulations one of the load lines marked on ships bears the Initials "I. S.,M this being the maximum depth to which vessels can be loaded for voyages dur ing the "Indian summer"? 1. e.. tho tine season in the Indian s6as. How long has the term "Indian sum mer" been used in this sense? It is not recorded in any dictionary nor ap parently in any work on meteorology Is it possible that our autumnal in dlan summer was so named by sailors or travelers who saw in it a resem blance to the fine weather attending the northeast monsoon in India? When to Stop Advertieing. An English journal requested n nnm ber of the largest advertisers to give their opinions concerning the best time to stop advertising, and the following replies were received: ? When the population ceases to mul tiply and the generation that crowded on after you and never heard of you stops coming on. When you have convinced everybody whose life will touch yours that you have better goods and lower prices than he can get anywhere else. When you stop making fortunes sole ly through the direct use of this mighty agent. When younger and fresher houses in your line cease starting up. , Whep you would rather have your own way and tall than take advice and win. A Candid Caller. A small boy had been coerced into making an afternoon call with his mother. He had rebelled vehemently over the calling business, saying: "Aw, what you want to make me go there for? She hasn't any boys, and it won't be any fun.'* But. dressed in his best suit, he had put on his company manners and had behaved very well indeed, and* when their hostess served refreshments he began to feel glad that he had come. When it eame time to leave he held out his hand, saying gallantly:';"., "Good by; I've had a good tlnie" ? and then, right while his young mother was beaming her approval, he added honestly? "a whole lot better time than I. expected to have." ? Indianapo lis News. \. ? . A Benevolent Refusal. "Senator, I wish you would give me a Job as your private secretary."
