TO ANSWER FOR FORGERY.
Lightning Rod Agent said to Have
Duplicated Purchasers Note.

c. +. Lawrence, a lightning rod man.
was arrested yesterday morning and sent
TO Jail by Constable Beckett on a war
rant from Magistrate Nathans' Court.
charging forgery. To a representative of
the Morning News the lightning rod man
denied his guilt. He was held by the mag
istrate in default of bail in the sum OF
$1,000.
The warrant was sworn out by A. C.
Lewis, colored, employed as porter by NJ
Ferst's Sons & Co. 1t is charged that his
name was forged to a note for $54. 40
Lawrence says that he is the silent men,
Der of the firm OF c. z. Steele & Co., and
that his concern represents the Franklin
Lightning Rod Works in this territory.
Lawrence placed a lightning rod on the
house of Lewis for which he charged
S54 40. The colored man gave his note,
dated jan 10, and due Aug. l, for that
amount, and thought no more of the
transaction until the following day.
AL that time Lawrence requested the
Alexander Grocery Company to discount
the note for him. He sent for Lewis and.
holdlng the note up, asked him, in the
presence of Mr.. Alexander If he had CIV
en- the note for the amount named. Lewis
TOOK the paper and, looking at it in
general sort of way, said that he had. lie
knew that he had given Lawrence a note
under the same date, and for the same
amount, and did not suspect that the pa
per before him was a bogus one On this
showing the paper was discounted.
1t is charged that in the meantime
Lawrence had put up the original note
with another grocer as security for goods
purchased. The note was only to have
been held and the amount due was to
have been paid on Monday. The man
with the good note spoke to Lewis about
the matter yesterday, and for the first
time the negro found that there were two
notes in the market bearing his signature.
y careful examination of the paper held
by the Alexander concern made Lewis
certain that this paper was the forged
one, and he so stated. The warrant was
issued, and the arrest of the lightning
rod agent followed.
Lawrence is a niddle-aged man, and
says that he has wife and baby resid-
ing in the southern section of the city.
He declared that he had forged no name
and was crying when seen by a represen-
tative of the Morning News The prison.
er says that he will prove his innocence
and that he has no fear of the outcome of
the trial.

TOO HARD FOR THEM.
Continued From Twenty-fourth Page.

problems in arithmetic present every
shade of effort, ignorance, failure and
success Some of the simplest problems
with the most obvious answers prove, Gu
riously enough, veritable stumbling
blocks to many. For instance, one OF the
problems: If q of bushel Of salt cost soc,
what will y peck cost?' II is surprising
to see what profound ignorance OF the
simplest methods of reasoning Is display
ed in the solutions of this simple prob
lem. The correct answer is obviously
fifteen cents, but those given vary from
q of a cent to ASO.
Hundreds of other instances might be
given" said Supt. Ashmore, showing
the absurd and ridiculous answers given
in examinations but these have read
YOU will suffice for samples. 1t must not
be supposed that all applicants for teach
ers' positions display such ignorance LOT
there are a number whose examinations
show culture and training, and these are
the ones selected to teach. An examina-
ton of such papers as these shows now
ever, how important it is to exercise
great care in the selection of teachers.

THE APRIL GEORGIAN"
The Dainty Little Magazine From
the state University.

The Dainty Little magazine From
the state University.
The Morning News has received the
current number OF THE Georgian" the
monthly publication of the students of
the University of Georgia. Its color, an
aesthetic Nile green, by no means indi-
Gates the quality Of its contents, certainly
above the average of college literary pub
locations.
The young gentlemen who direct the
editorial performances Of the Georgian
have been endowed from on high with
that supreme editorial gift, ''savvy." In
plain terms they know good thing when
they see it and waste no time in getting
it, Par example:
Just recently Hon. Logan f. Bleckley,
former chief justice Of the State Supreme
Court, was a special student at the Uni
versity. The law, 1t has been said lis a
Jealous MISTRESS" and II this be so Chief
Justice Bleckley, who has wooed the
gentler muse of poesy times out of mind
and sometimes been rewarded with
one OF her most gracious smiles,
must have tormented sadly the dame to
whom his allegiance was rightly due. At
any rate the editors Of The Georgian got
the former chief justice to write for their
magazine the following graceful stanza,
entitled knowledge"
Mine, alas, is but the store
or light that falls within my door
From sun or star of all that ride
In universal space outside;
Or but the waves that chance 10 land
At that one station on the strand
Where only l may chance to stand.
The roster of the editorial stan, printed
at the top OF the first page, discloses the
fact that Mr.. A. Pratt Adams OF Savan-
nah Is member Of the Advisory Com
mittee." If Mr.. Adams advised his fellow
members of the STAFF to get the little gem
which Chief Justice Bleckley wrote, ne
has demonstrated his fitness.
