The opening sddrseees were being
made this afternoon. District Attor

fh * second Liberty Loan campaign
lagged for a good while in this city
for lack o f organised and system atic
effort to make it hum. It is lagging
no longer, as the big bunch o f sub­
scriptions received by each o f oar
tanks last night follow ing the m eet-'
ing arranged by the Honor Guard
girls am ply testifies.
The idea o f this meeting had ift
inception with the girls o f the guard,
and all the arrangements made fo r it,
the selection o f the speakers, the
printing o f the hills and the sscuriag
o f the band were theirs.
About eight o’clock last night tbs
band played at the F irst National
Bank corner and a representative as­
semblage speedily gathered in which
the Indies and girls were very mufh
in evidence. —
The speakers arrived in the ca n o f
L. H. Hasard and M. O. Hawkins and
the meeting was called to order by
Leo. J. Cary, who introduced Mayor
E. E. Johnson as the first speaker. He
made a patriotic address and was
followed in turn by Superintendent J.
C. Almack, o f our city schools, and
Judge John S. Coke, o f the Circuit
court, who was introduced n s-s m
for over forty years.
Then came
County Judge Watson, who demurred
when he was presented as a man who
had not been here quite as long as
Judge Coke and who had lots s f
friends among the sternqr sex, bet
whose standing among tha ladies the
chairman could "not testify to— this in
allusion to his protracted bachelor­
hood. The Judge did not allude to th"
latter matter but rather emphasised

than Judge Coke he had lived hose

Other speakers were W alter Hamil­

dent o f the Ooquflje Commercial Club,
