There is young Afro-American
in the Athens public schools who,
while by no means dull in his
studies, is vastly more proficient in
his knowledge of this wicked world.
In the history class the other day
in reply to the teachers question
"What is a schooner" he replied,
after brief hesitation, "a schoonah
is a large glass of beer" On anOth-
er occasion in the natural history
class he was asked if he knew
what II shark was and replied-"a
shark is a sleek confidence man,
He was perfectly sincere in both
answers and said afterwards in ref
erence to them that he thought he
chad them down fine" On another
occasion, after having committed
some mischief, he was given a note
to take up to the superintendent.
| The teacher not noticing whether
he went or not, the next day asked
him suddenly if he had reported to
the superintendent as directed. He
looked up from his book in be-
wildered manner and rolled his
eyes refiectively for more than a
minute without making a reply.
The teacher repeated the question,
and he drawled out eyes," telling
the truth. "Why didn't you an
swer before ?" demanded the teach
er severely. "Well," he replied in

HUNG ON A WIRE.
A Telephone Line Mans Accident
With Electricity

A Telephone Line Mans Accident
With Electricity.
w. r. Sanford, 8 colored man who
has long been employed as line man
and inspector for the telephone COM
pany, while inspecting q wire that
had crossed the electric trolley wire
at the San Pedro park terminus of the
street Car line was shocked and
severely burned yesterday afternoon,
and sll but killed. The guard wire
had no insulator and when the tele.
phone wire, held by Sanford, touched
this wire, Sanford was swung off
stiff for few minutes while the wire
burned into his hands severely. His
assistant, a man named Randolph,
WAS holding the wire on the
ground and he too received
q good charge of electricity and
could not move but a very little. He
tried to get his pincers to cut the
wire, opened them, but could not con
tract his hand to close them. By great
presence of mind he lifted the wire
with his other hand and held it free
from the guard wire and thus releas-
ed himself and Sanford.
Sanford was very i'll last night and
suffered great pain from his burns.
He says he was unconscious from
the time the wires made the contact
until released, and then felt an in.
tense burning, prickly sensation
through the entire upper portion Of
his body.

STRANGE ExPHRIKNcks-PREsIDExr MAYNARD o
ADDRESS, GIVING 4 BRIEF SKETCH OF THR
GREAT IMPROVEMENTS IN TELEoRArHY-Srw
MEMBERS ELECTED.
The first session of the old-time telegraphers
was held at the Ebbist House this morning
About hundred members were present when
the meeting was called to order by Mr.. George
c. Maynard, the president of the association.
Mr.. W. j. Deaiy. the secretary and treasurer,
was kept busy during the first half hour before
the meeting in shaking hands with old asso-
ciates and receiving dues
1t was An assemblage OF men who looked
very much alive, though time has taken the
hair Of many and whitened that OF many more.
Many Of them had not met for twenty or thirty
years, though during that time they have been
talking to each other over great distances by
wire, and the click of the instrument gave
place to the wagging Of tongues and the re-
Joicing in good fellowship. Many of those
present are not now engaged in lingering the
Key, but their pleasantest associations and
warmest attachments are associated with their
old time service. Three or four ladies were
among those present. When the meeting had
come to order President Maynard delivered his
address as follows:
