MAY HAVE CALLED MEETING.
Board OF Education to Choose Prin-
cipaI of Massfe school.

1t is probable that a special meet
ing of the Board Of Education will be
called to consider the question of fill
ing the vacancy in the public school
system created by the death of Prin-
cipal J. E. Way of Massie School.
What course the board will decide to
take is a matter of doubt.
Three courses are open for it to fol-
low. Mr.. Frank II. Ferguson. assist
ant superintendent of schools for the
city and county, is at present discharg-
ing the duties of principal of Massie
School, and the board may decide to
retain him in this position for the
remainder Of the term and defer the
election of permanent principal UNI
til after the summer vacation. The
other two courses are to elect a tenn
porary principal. to serve until the
remainder of the term, and TO make
a permanent selection, either at once
or at the next regular meeting.
To retain Mr.. Ferguson where he is
will be attended with many disadvant-
ages. Not only will it prevent his Civ
ing attention to the country schools,
but will also serve to take him away
from the detail work of the Office of
uperintendent, where, towards the end
of the school year, there is always
enough TO keep both him and Supt.
Ashmore busy. 1t is probable, there
fore, that the choice will be made by
the board of one or the other of the
two remaining courses of possible ac-
ton.
1t is said that Mr.. Gustavus j. Orr,
at present an assistant instructor in
the High School, stands the best
chance of being promoted to the DOsi-
ton of principal of Massie School. Mr..
Orr has been in Savannah less than a
year, coming to the city from Bruins
wick, but he has sustained admirably
the high reputation as an educator he
brought with him. What action the
board will take cannot be known in
of the meeting but present in
dications are that its choice viii fall
upon Mr.. Orr

tor at St. Johns for nearly six months,
and during that time he has made

Next Sunday will be his last with ST.

pleasure it had afforded him to be in
Savannah during the winter, and
thanked the congregation for the pleas
ant relations that had existed between
it's members and their supply rector.

Mr.. Strong, and Congratulated the
church upon having so excellent a rec
tor. He also predicted a bright flu
ture for the church
Rev. Mr.. Bum said that he took adj
vantage of that opportunity to bid his
temporary congregation farewell be-
cause Mr.. Strong will conduct the ser
vice next Sunday, and he might not
then have so fitting a chance.

subject of DR.. Ramsays sermon was

The lesson brought out by the speak
er was that in this scene which the
context states that Jesus. Moses and
Elijah were on the mountain top and
afterward the disciples saw Jesus only

had been great law-giver and in
structor and Elijah no less that the
times of these prophets had passed.
end that from that time on Jesus was
to be accepted as the authoritative
teacher of the world
Had not the time and influence of
Moses and of Elijah been superseded
by that of Jesus, we would never have
received the Christians marching mes
sage: Go We unto all the world we
would never have sung From Green
lands Icy Mountains there would
not for the whole world. The Gisap-
pearance of Moses and Elijah from the
mountain top was like the shutting in
of the stars before the rising of the
sun.
Jesus became the great authoritlve
teacher. Never man spoke as this
man, for he spoke as one having au-
thority Jesus became The worlds
teacher, and so think it unsafe to ac-
CHI,f i,x,
some word of Jesus. THE test of all
belief should not be our own opinion
or arother's opinion, but what did
Jesus as an authoritive teacher, say"
Before closing the speaker plead with
his hearers to accept Jesus only as
the teacher. the onIy comforter and
the only healer of The ills of this life,

BUTLER TO FACE A JURY.
Negro to stand Trial To-day for
Murder of william Baker.

Murder of william Baker.
The trial of William Butler for the
murder of William Baker has been as
signed in the Superior Court for to-
day On half a dozen former occasions
the case has been assigned, but for one
reason or another has been as often
continued To-day, it is thought, it
will be tried
Baker was a negro and his slayer
is of the same race. The quarrel which
eliminated in the killing began at ne
gro dime party" which took place at
Sunnyside, settlement Just south of
the city, shortly after Christmas. The
male members of the party and some
of the females had become mere or less
excited and in the drunken revelry of
the aftermath the quarrel began.
The lights went out in the struggle,
and when they We're relighted Baker
was discovered, breathing his last upon
the floor He had been stabbed to
death.
Several of the delays in the trial of
the case have been due to the absence
of the principal witness for the state
who left the city shortly after the COM
mission of the homicide and for weeks
and months could not be located. With
out HIM the solicitor general did not
feel it would be safe for the state to
so to trial. This witness has at last
been found and placed under subpoena
and the case will go to trial when
court conVenes this morning.

believed, was intended to read: Mr.

spiracy against Dotson. When Dotson
was talking to Smith, the negro Gibbs,
without provocation, shot Dotson twice
both balls entering the abdomen.

For securing bondsmen by false rep
resentation and then leaving them in
the lurch, A. Harell was arrested last
night by Detective Frank WALL The
prisoner is wanted at Scale. Russell
county, Alabama, and an officer from
that place will come for him.
Requisition papers were secured be-
fore the arrest was made and no delay
is expected in the removal of Harrell
to Alabama. The warrant under which
he was arrested charges him with OBJ
tanning signatures by false pretenses.
1t is alleged that on March 20 Harrell.
who has been in business in Savannah
and who is very well known here, was
arrested in Russell county for peddling
without a license
He was using a horse and buggy at
the time and it is alleged represented
to ]. S. Perry and ]. L. Henry that he
owned them. Upon this representation,
it is claimed, Perry and Henry fur
nished bail in the sum of 800 for the
appearance of Harrell. The peddler, it
is charged left Alabama and the fact
developed that the horse and buggy
had only been rented by him. Harrell
was located on Bryan street, near West
Broad, and a warrant was sent for his
errest So that there would be no

cured before Harrell was taken in Gus

WOULD SAVE HER SON.
Widowed POstmistress wanted 10
Plead Guilty to Theft.


Distracted with grief, Mrs M. e.
Young, postmistress at Thunderbolt,
expressed a desire to herself plead
guilty to the theft of postage stamps
and save her son, Arthur, from prison
She outlined such a plan to Mayor l..
w. Nelson Of the town of Warsaw and
was probably prevented from putting
her threat into execution by that Of
ficer.
Mrs. Young is heart-broken and feels
keenly the disgrace of her sons arrest
for stealing postal funds. In hysteri-
cal condition, she called upon Mayor
Nelson and begged him to do some
thing for her boy. She would willingly
go to prison to save the boys name,
and begged that she be permitted to
do this. Young and his companion, r.
G. Gross, are still prisoners at the po-
lice station house and warrants will
be sworn out before United States
Commissioner Ryals to-day and a pre-
liminary examination will follow.
Young continues to protest his inno-
cence, although he tells flimsy story.
He claims that the stamps that were
sold by Gross were purchased by him
from the Thunderbolt office for the
purpose of aiding his mother. She re-
ceived a commission, he declared, on
all stamps sold and was in need of
funds. Young says that he pawned his
overcoat and bought the stamps with
the money. He was afraid that if he
gave it to her outright she would dis
cover what he had done with his coat,
and he wanted to keep this matter
secret. He claims that he took the
stamps himself and placed their value
in the cash drawer The condition of
the prisoners widowed mother has
aroused the sympathy of the residents
