the faculty. because she had been caught
cheating, caused the meeting TO be watch
ed with sensational interest.

gogy, to succeed Prof Z. c. Branson, and

Jake Burney Must HanE-Better
Court Facilities Wanted.

Valdosta, Ga. June pa telegram from
Judge c. C. Smith states that new
trial for Jake Burney, the condemned
murderer now in Jail here, was refused on
yesterday. motion for a new trial in
the case was heard by the judge at Haw-
kinsville. 1t was not believed here that
the petition would be granted. as Burney
was given a fair trial at the last term
Of court. He was told Of the decision this
morning and appeared a good deal de
pressed for minute or so. lie then said
that he never expected anything else and
that he had no hope of being saved from
the galoWs The condemned man pro-
fesses TO be seeking religion fervently,
and says that he prays nearly all the
time.
A meeting was announced for this eve
ming by the lawyers composing the local
bar to take some steps in regard to the
city court in this city. It has been known
mere for some time that the usefulness
Of the court to the county was very much
impaired by recent decisions of the SUI
preme court and the object Of the meet
ing of the lawyers Is to try and arrange
some plan by which the county may get
the best courts for the least money. The
present court while being nothing more
than the old county court costs great
deal more. A prominent member of the
local bar thinks a bill can be introduced
in the next legislature that will give the
county the same court which Macon and
other cities have at less than the present
cost.
