A GEORGIA SUMMER SCHOOL.
No Reason Why Teachers Should Go
Ont of the state, Says Chancellor
Hill of the University.

No Reason Why Teachers Should Go
Ont of the state, Says Chancellor
Hill of the Uniyersity.
Athens, Ca, Aug. SIT appears that
of the 1000 teachers who attended the
summer school of the University of
Tennessee at Knoxville 200 were from
Georgia. 1t is said that seventy-five
Georgia teachers are at the University
of Chicago, that there are $50 at IIar-
ward and others at various other insti-
tutions and chautauquas.
All this leads Chancellor Hill to say:
why should these teachers be com
PEELED to go beyond the borders of the
state for what they seek and why
should not the advantages of a sum-
mer session be made accessible to
hundreds of teachers in Georgia who
cannot afford to go beyond the limits
of the state, but could attend a sum-
mer school, if opened in Georgia?
There would be no difficulty
in organizing strong teach
er force in the state. The
University faculty, the faculties
of the various colleges which, by law,
are parts of the university, (the State
Normal School. the Girls Normal and
Industrial College, the School of Tech
nology, and the North Georgia Agri-
cultural College,, and the faculties of
Mercer and Emory could be drawn
upon for their stray teachers in their
respective departments. In addition
to this experts and specialists from
abroad could be secured as at Knox
Vile.
1T is more than likely that this
movement will, at an early date, take
definite shape, and that strong effort
will be made to get everything in shape
for the opening of the school in the
university campus next summer"

There Should he More Property
Tax Pay ers Here.
Atlanta, Aug. S.-Chatham's tax di-
gest was received to-day showing a
falling off in the returns as compared
with last year of SAP, SO1. An exami-
nation of the digest shows that out OF
7,2l5 white persons who pay poll tax,
1854 of them return no property what
ever, only 1881 returning property, for
taxation.
'Tt is very strange" said Capt. w
III. Harrison, of the controller office,
that there should be 1854 men in Chat
ham who do not own even a watch, or
bit of household and kitchen furni-
ture. And yet that many men have
sworn they do not own dollars worth
of property
Il had expected a good increase in
Chatham" said Controller General
Wright. with prosperity everywhere
and city property on the upward trend
all over the country, it is very strange
there should have been such slump

Matter of Eligibility May BE Settled
by Legislature.

Atlanta, Aug. s.-The question of
the eligibility of Capt. Evan P. Howell
and Alderman James G. Woodward to
the mayoralty is still proving dis
turbing element in the local political
situation, and diverse opinions have
been expressed with regard to it. The
people are not much worried over the
situation, however, and 1t does not
seem that it is going to materially af-
feet the race. Should there be much
doubt about it, the Legislature may be
called on to change the law which
could be done before the election in De-
cember.

GOV. GAMBLER IS WR0TH.
HE THREATENS TO PUT SHERIFF
HIGGS ON CHANGING.

Nv. II. Freeman, the Montgomery
County MOOnshiner, Who Was
Pardoned by the Governor, Has
Not Yet Been Released, Despite the
Governors orders-In Montgomery
County 1t Is said the Governor
Does Not Observation-Disclosures man
Has Been Sold for His Term and
the Sheriff Has Nothing More to
Do With Him.
Atlanta, Aug. s.-Gov. Gambler has
written to Solicitor General ]. F. De-
Lacey, in reply to a letter received this
morning. that unless Sheriff Higgs Of
Montgomery county releases w. b.
Freeman at once, he will have the
sheriff put where Freeman is, in the
Changing. The Governor, several days
ago, pardoned Freeman. who was serv-
ing a sentence for illegal selling of
liquor The sheriff failed and refused
to release the man, who is serving his
time in a private camp in Decatur
county, and the Governor wrote him
a warm letter. to which the sheriff has
not replied.
Unless the Governor hears to-day
that Freeman has been released he says
he will direct the Attorney General to
institute proceedings against Sheriff
Higgs and push the case to the last
resort He is quite indignant over the
action and attitude of the sheriff.
Governor Doesn't Understand.
tor, Gov. Gambler docs not under
stand" the situation in that county in
the matter of w. B. Freeman, who
was convicted of selling whisky lille
gally and sentenced to six months on
the gang. According to the Morning
News dispatches a pardon was recon-
r.ended by the Prison Commission and
granted by the Governor. The papers
were sent the sheriff of Montgomery
on July IL. Recently Gov. Gambler
learned that Freeman was still doing
time, whereupon he grew wrathy and
sent warm letter to Sheriff Higgs,
demanding to know why his orders
lad been disregaTded. This seems to
have caused some amusement in Mont
eomery county. The Monitor says:
1.-THE Governor doesn't understand the
situation down here. The County Com
Tnissioners sold Freeman to ] w. CAL
akan, a turpentine operator of Decatur
county, making him pay cash in adj
vance, and when he was pardoned Mr..
Callahan demanded his money back,
but the commissioners refused to re-
fund 1t. They don't care whether Free
man is turned loose or not. The sheriff
has no control over the commissioners
or Mr.. Callahan, and is unable to lib
crate the dispenser of bug juice. If the
Governor is very anxious to have
Freeman regain his liberty, he will
have to send Mr., Callahan $50. or let
him stay there and work it out"
