Taliaferro County News: If in the
white primary our county officers are
to be selected if the white primary is
going to take the place of the general
election in October, then the white pri-
mary should have the same safeguard,
the same guarantee for purity of the
ballot and lack of illegal voting that is
thrown around the general October
election. When fragrant wrongs are
committed, where open violation of pri-
mary rules are allowed, then the pri-
mary system is going to fall into bad
repute with all liberty, justice loving
people. Where such viola tions of rules
are brought to the attention of the
county executive committee and then
the said committee doesn't take any
action to stop these fragrant wrongs,
then this is the time for the people of
the county to rise up and say that in
nocent men shall not suffer I'VE will
not guarantee their votes cast in the
manner prescribed; we will guarantee
them an honest count" and when this
is done, and until this is the sentiment
of the people of this county, the pri-
mary system does not fill the purpose
for which it was intended.

A CHANCE TO BE GOOD.
Judge Norwood Suspended Sentence
in the Case of Mccormack.

Judge Norwood Suspended Sentence
in the Case of Mccormack.
r. f. Mccormack, found guilty OF
the theft of watch at yesterdays
criminal session of the City Court. was
fined $50 and costs, with the alter
native of a year on the gang. How
ever. Judge Norwood suspended the
sentence. on McCormack's solemn
agreement he would shake the dust of
Savannah from his feet. The current
impression is he has busted.
Mccormack has been serving a term
on the gang for larceny, but his fine
was paid and the man given his lib
erty. When his trunk was opened at
his boarding place, it was discovered
that a watch, stolen from H. McDon-
aid. was concealed inside, and he was
again taken into custody. The solicit
tor general was willing to give the
man a chance to show the sincerity
of his repentance and with his con-
sent the sentence was suspended.
The larceny of pair of trousers ana
two pairs of shoes, of which she was
proven guilty. sent Bertha Robinson
to the gang for a year The articles
of attire had been stolen from j. Can
tor The alternative sentence was
fine of 500 and costs.
William Johnson, an escaped con-
Wet, received a sentence of an added
year on the gang for his successful
attempt to slip away from his guards.
He had been arrested a month after
his flight by Patrolman Tom Farrell.
Carrie Williams was sent to the gang
for a year for larceny from the person
of ]. j. Hall, a countryman she had
enticed to her room in Perry lane. The
story of outraged virtue with which
she regaled Judge Norwood yesterday
did not chance to take the fancy of the
court, and in passing sentence he re-
minded her that she was too good, ac-
cording to her story, and too bad, ac-
cording to the evidence of the state.
for association with ordinary persons,
in consideration of which the lengthy
sentence was imposed.
There was a plentiful supply of pris-
oners before the court at the session
ard few escaped. Almost without ex-
ception they were sent to the gang for
long terms.

served the children daily. This has al
ways been entirely dependent upon
outside contributions, as the fund is
outside the province of the regular en-
dowment. The finances of the bread
and milk fund are now at very low
ebb, and contributions will be most
gratefully received. These should be
sent to the Secretary and Treasurer,
Mrs. A L. Alexander, 304 Huntingdon
street, east. Donations of clothing are
also most welcome. This is distributed
among the needy of the various dis
tricts. W
Miss Backus, the superintendent will
be at the Philbrick Kindergarten from
II to 2 on Tuesday and appli
cations for entrance to the junior class
of the training school and to the Phil
brick kindergarten, and primary work
should be made to her without delay,
as the remaining places are fast fill
ing up.
The teaching corps of the training
school for the year is as follows:
Manual Training-Miss Ophelia D.
Pritchard, assisted by Misses Daniel
Vaughan and Rembert; kindergarten
music and rhythm, Miss Claribel
Spring, assisted by Mr.. Watt and Miss
Vaughan; gift work and executive de-
partment. Miss Jessie Anderson;
klHueISdTIeH art anu design
work, Miss Phoebe H. Elliott;
theory and supervision, Miss Martha
G. Backus; outside teachers, physical
training, Miss Sara Charlton: voice
training, Miss Lily Selig; literature
classes Miss A. j. Backus.
Miss Harriet B. Hardee, whose ex-
cellent work in the Yamacraw Kin
dergarten has achieved such good re-
suits there, has resigned her position
in the Kate Baldwin Free kindergarten
system, and will devote her time to
normal training. in which line she has
been especially successful. She
will be connected in this capacity with
Miss Pape and Miss Vests School for
Girls. Much as the kindergarten re-
grets the loss of her services, it en-
courages a specialization of talents in
all connected with it, as this is the age
of specialists, and only by doing one
thing extremely well can one get to
the top. All special training makes a
more valuable set of teachers, and each
summer sees a large number of the
graduates of the Kate Baldwin Free
kindergarten system studying special
work in order to raise the standard of
teaching even higher all over the
South.

FLORIDA.

Gainesville Sun: Mrs. Florida Tison
of Hague was the victim of an unfor-
tunate accident Tuesday afternoon
which may result in her death. She
was returning from a visit to friends in
the northern part of the state, and
was a passenger on the evening train
from High Springs to Hague. She did
not know that the train had reached
Hague until it had started from there
and was making fair speed in this di-
rection. She ran to the platform of
the coach and jumped from the steps.
The momentum of the train threw her,
and her head struck the iron of a
switch track, while her shoulder struck
a crosstie. Her collar bone was broken
and her skull fractured near the left
ear.

SUMTEIL'S HAY CROP.

Americas Times Recorder: The
rather short corn crop in Sumter this
year will be supplemented by perhaps
the largest hay crop harvested in a
number of years. In all portions of the
county mowers are running, and al
ready hundreds of tons of fine hay have
been stacked or put in the barns. Capt.
w. W. Drane, a successful farmer, was
in the city yesterday, and said that in
his portion of the county a larger hay
crop would be gathered than in num-
Der of years. This quality of hay,
grass and pea vines, is excellent for
age, and vast quantities of it can easily
be saved at nominal cost. 1t sells in
the Americas market readily, when
neatly baled, at SIG to $1S per ton, and
at this price pays a very handsome
profit,

The Kate Baldwin Free Kindergarten
will open the five kindergartens, pri-
mary class and Training School. OF
which its system consists, on next
Wednesday at o'clock. Application
for entrance into the kindergartens for
children between the ages of and
may be made at the kindergartens on
that day. The addresses are as fol-
lows: Yamacraw kindergarten, In
dian and Ann streets; Day Nursery
Kindergarten, Henry street, three doors
west of West Broad; Philbrick Kinder
garten and Primary School, No. s
Jones street, east; Chatham
Academy kindergarten, southeast
room on ground floor of Acad-
envy, entrance on Drayton street;
Trinity kindergarten, Trinity NJ. E..
Church, President street, between Bar
nard and Montgomery streets.
OF these kindergartens, Yamacraw
is beginning its fourth year, the Day
Nursery and the Philbrick their third,
and the Chatham Academy and Trim
ity Kindergartens their second year.
Last year 300 children were enrolled,
and this promises to be an equally
successful term. The educational work
done by the system is of the greatest
benefit to the children of Savannah,
because those whose means do not war
rant their paying for their children S
earliest education are given all the adj
vantages of the best kindergarten
work.
A very high tribute was paid the
Kate Baldwin Free kindergarten
by the head of a training school in
a sister state. She said that the work
it had accomplished in a short time
was we'll nigh miraculous and that she
considered it the best training school
in the South. Last year the training
school had twenty-one students, and
this year promises equally large
classes, though the classes are never
considered settled until after the two
weeks probation in October. Four of
the training teachers have been all
summer studying at the Chautauqua
Summer Schools and have returned full
of enthusiasm for the work there, and
for the work heA as compared with it.

gartens in Yamacraw and the Day
Nursery is the lunch of bread and milk

AN ALL-MALE CAST.

But Women Are Barred.
Allen Reilly and John Coglan, the
young men charged with abduction by
Officer w. A. Clarke of Thunderbolt,
were discharged by Recorder Shelby
Myrick yesterday morning at their pre-
liminary hearing. The prisoners had
engaged counsel but the judge dis
posed of the case in short order. He
asked Miss Essie Reilly if she had gone
with the young men of her own free
will, and she answered in the atfirma-
tive. Miss Matte Clarke was asked
the same question and gave the same
answer. The recorder thereupon told
the young men they could go. When
Officer Clarke INTERCEPTED that his
daughter did not have his consent 10
go. the recorder said he should have
brought her up better.
Thus ended the play. At one time
it looked as if it might be lurid mel
odrama.
After court the proprietor and man
ager of the Sylvester & Wayland Com
edy Company. as Reilly and Coglan
are known, when doing the prov
inces, were talking of having suit en-
tered against Clarke for false impris-
onment but later they decided that
this would interfere with their the
atrical engagements. Reilly was seen
at his candy stand on Broughton and
Bull streets, and said that he and his
partner had decided that they would
continue giving performances. Hav-
ing billed Guyton. they would go back
there and perform. 1t was on the
boards for the performance to be pull
ed off last night The comedy COM
pany would be organized. but 1t was
to be distinctly understood that in the
future it would be an all-male cast.
Women are strictly barred from the
organization.

The Chattanooga Medicine Company
with laboratories and general offices at
Chattanooga, Tenn, and branch houses
at ST. Louis, Mo, and San Francisco,
Cal, has become one of the largest
proprietary medicine concerns in the
world. In the growth of this great
business two factors have been domi-
nant: The merit of it's products-Wine
of Cardui and Thedfords Black
Draught-has been widely recognized
and the original advertising methods
adopted have excited great comment.
The publicity for these medicines does
not consist of the catch phrase and
extravagant statement, too often en-
ployed in advertising to-day, but in
stead the plain story of experience
with the medicines given in the plain
language of the people themselves. The
following letter is a fair sample of the
thousands of Wine of Cardui testi-
monials published during the past
twenty years:

SOLD NEGRO BY WEIGHT.

Bird last Saturday and paid him rs
cents per bushel. They weighed the
load on the scales near. the store and

who bought the seed went with Bird,
thinking that everything was all right,
but Bird had a negro man wrapped up
in a sheet of cloth packed in the seed
at the bottom of the wagon.
