interest centers about the statue of
capt Nathan Hale, now in position on the
spot as nearly as can be determined, where
the hero was executed. This is at the
broadway and Mail street corner of City
Hall Park. the figure facing toward Broad
way. 1t stands on small drum-shaped
pedestal at the southwest corner of City
Hall Park. Hale was a six-footer, of su-
perb physical development The sculptor

pretty full skirts, frilled shirt opened at

or the innocent. II l had 10000 lives 1
would lay them down in defense of my

are also given thus: Il only regret that 1

ANOTHER BOLD FAKE
The Dizzy Talk About Simmons a
Fraud.
The Real Truth as the Real Truth Is
Written.
Mr. SIMMONS NEEDS NO DEFENSE
Much Said That Has Been Proven Out
of Place and the Kids Have

Under date March 8, there appeared in
the Atlanta Constitution a sensational if
not malicious special revealing vain
endeavor to reflect upon the manage
ment of Prof. T. J Simmons, superinten
dent of the city schools of Dawson, Ga,
and Mrs. Simmons in the conduct OF her
music school. THE GLOBE printed the
Constitutions special as an item of in
terest to the many friends and acquain-
tances of Mr.. and Mrs. Simmons in North
Carolina. The Constitution, through its
regular correspondents in Dawson and
Athens, has since published two denials
of the statements made in the sensational
special, from which it is evident there
was no connection whatever between the
facts that teacher was six months ago
a music pupil, that he danced, and that
he resigned his position in the school.
The alleged hub-bub in the school board
was likewise bosh, as the resignation
was accepted unanimously and the place
filled by selecting Prof. J. r. Hawkins
a gentleman of fine educational attain
ments and great popularity. 1t has
always been a great credit to Mrs. Sim
mons that young lady members of her
classes are not only pupils but students,
and when for any reason they can not
maintain her standard Of work, they are
kindly but firmly requested to seek in
struction elsewhere.
There are no members of the prOfes-
sion better or more favorable known to
the people of Durham and that no in
justice may be done them, it is a pleasure
to thus inform their friends here, more
especially as the news has reached us
that our reprint of the Constitution ar
ticle had occasioned a considerable
amount Of small talk hereabOuts.
