First From Honesty and Then Out

of a window.
Washington, Ga, Sept. 17-Last
night as Mr.. Harry O'Neill, bookkeeper
for the Latimer Co, was passing the
King building on Main street, he was
startled by a heavy object falling from
an upstairs window. Upon investiga-
ton he discovered the object to be a
negro boy, known as Honest John"
The negro had slipped into the rooms
of Maj. A. l.. King for the purpose of
burglary. In his search he found a
bottle of whiskey and the midnight in
truder proceeded to tank up. 1t is not
known how long the negro had been
in the rooms as Maj. King was out of
the city. 1t is thought after the negro
became intoxicated. went to one of
the windows and proceeded to enjoy
the remainder of the contents of the
bottle. Becoming careless and not
realizing his perilous position, he fell
out. AS he fell he brushed so close to
Mr.. O'Neill that that gentleman was
quite startled.
The negro landed upon his head and
his skull was badly crushed, but Ii is
thought by the attending physician
that he may recover. The spot where
ne landed was covered with blood.

A great many Wilkes county farmers

the crop in this section will be a little

of grain the coming season. The price
of cotton has been disappointing to the
farmers. They expected a much better
price since it has been found that the

EMORY OPENS ITS DOORS.

ssxty-seventh Year of College His
tory Begfns-Many New students
Entered.
Emory College, oxford. Ca, Sept. IL.
For the sixty-seventh time Emory Col
lege to-day opened her doors for the
reception of new students. and the
quiet country village has been trans
formed into a bustling college town.
This session promises to be the most
prosperous the college has experienced
for several years. More than 100 new
students have already arrived, and
President Dickey is very enthusiastic
over the prospects. He says the num-
Der of students, both new and old, is
much larger than he had expected. In
less than a weeks time he thinks the
attendance will pass the 300 mark,
and that before the session
is over 1t will have eclipsed all former
records.
During the first year of DR.. Dow
mans administration the total attend
ance of the college was 1928. Since that
time the sub freshman department has
been practically abolished, and the
grade required for promotion has been
raised from 50 to 20. AS a result of
these changes, some boys stayed away
because they. were not able to enter.
and others were not able to make the
required pass mark; so last year the
total attendance was about 260. But
this year, despite these more rigid re-
quirements, the attendance bids fair
to eclipse all former records.
This is the first session under the ad-
ministration of President Dickey, and
.,.zNx rod d
people of Georgia and of the South,
have given him such hearty indorse-
ment.
There are FIVE new men on the FAC
ulty this year, President Dickey, Prof.
Fred n. Duncan of Department of BIZ
ology, Prof. NJ. H. Arnsell of the Latin
chair, Prof e. NJ. Banks. who teaches
history and political economy, and Mr..
T. H. Wade. who will be adjunct pro-
fessor of science.
Or. C. w. Pepper. professor of Greek
language and literature, Who spent the
summer in Europe, arrived in Oxford
yesterday.
Prof. E. H. johnson has been grant
ed years leave, and goes 10 Harvard
to do graduate work.
DR.. Stewart r. Roberts. who last
June, was elected to fill the chair of
biology, was given permission to at
tend Chicago University for
two terms, ana his place
is being temporarily filled by
Prof. Fred N. Duncan of the Univer-
sity of Indiana.
The politician is getting in his work
among the new students. The classes
will organize tomorrow and elect off,
GERS. and these college politicians are
waging campaigns no less strenuously
than did the candidates for Governor
several months ago. The classes will
number about as follows: There will
be forty-two men in the Senior Glass;
the Junior Glass will have about 60:
and, while the other two are not yet
full grown. they will open with about
ninety each.

Intellectual Economy.

From success.
Madame de Genlis, in a work on thine"
tells us that the famous Chancellor
d'Aguesseau, observing that his wife al
ways delayed ten or twelve minutes before
she came down to dinner, and, reluctant to
lose so much time daily, began the compo-
sition of a work which he prosecuted only
while thus kept waiting. At the end of fif-
teen years a book in three quarto volumes
was completed, which ran through three
editions, and was held in high repute
Madame de Genlis profited by this example.
Having to wait at the dinner hour in the
Palais Royal for Madame de Chartres, VINO
was always fifteen or twenty minutes late,
she utilized the time by copying a selection
of poems from eminent authors.
1t is told of German critic that he could
repeat the entire "Iliad" of Homer with
scarcely an error. How many years, think
YOU did he spend in depositing the immor-
tai epic in his brain? Years he had not to
spare, or months, or weeks, even entire
DAYS for he was physician in the full tide
Of practice; but he contrived to store in his
memory the twenty-four books of the old
bard of "Scio's rocky isle'' in the brief dis
connected snatches of time while hurrying
from one patient to another. DR.. Mason
Good, celebrated English physician, per-
formed a similar feat, having contrved to
translate the whole of Lucretius during his
long walks in London to visit his patients.

Thew Mourn in Red.
I'm the New York Times

From the New York Times.
In the dark and part Of the middle ages
red and not black was the favorite mourn
ing color throughout Europe. Even down
to the end of the fifteenth century the
change from blood red to black was not
complete, though black cloaks were worn
over red clothing In Abyssnia the mourn
ing color is a reddish brown. In Turkey 1t
is violet, color closely allied to red. 1t
is a curious fact that among the Maoris of
New Zealand red is the hue of sorrow. In
earlier times r1ourners daubed their bodies
with red juices when they followed chief
to his grave, and even the resting places
of the bodies were also colored red
