EDUCATIONAL MEETING AT SENECA.

The educational meeting at Seneca
next Saturday, April 25th, promises to
be success in every way. There will
be prominent speakers from distance,
who will talk on timely subjects and their
lectures cannot fail to be of great and
lasting benefit to those who hear them
This movement, to create more
healthy educational sentiment, should
have tho hearty support not alone of the
teachers and trustees of the county, but
of the parents as we'll. Are the teachers
and trustees-those in authority in the
schools-more deeply Interested in the
progress of school work than the parentsp
Surely they have no reason to be. The
work accomplished in the schools
depends much upon the interest of
parents in their own children, and
the measure of encouragement and
assistance given to the schools. The
parents of Oconee should be we'll
represented at the Seneca meeting. Their
presence, .manifesting an interest in the
work, would be of benefit to the mem-
bsfs of the organization.
Seneca proposes to entertain accredited
delegates from county schools. Have
you sent to Prof. Roggs the names of the
delegates who represent your schoolp
The time is very short now, but the
notice will be better late than never.
Send delegates to the meeting Saturday,
and if possible notify Prof. Boggs before
hand who will represent your school, so
that he can assign your representatives
to homes. This part of the work cannot
be done systematically or satisfactorily
unless the names of those who attend as
delegates are known prior to the day of
meeting. Let all teachers and trustees
and as many of the parents as possible
attend.

"wHArs IN A NAME I"

Last Friday night at the business
meeting the name Board of Trade" was
objected to by some as antiquated,
and Business Mems League was sug-
gested as substitute. This, too, did
not suit all, because the word League
recalled certain obnoxious organization
that appeared just after the war. 1t was
very properly suggested, however, that
"a rose by any other name would smell
as sweet,"-in other words, we want the
principles of Board of Trade or a Bust
ness Mems League, let the name be what
1t may. Couldn't we compromise on
"The Trade Assembly" or something of
that sortp If you can suggest better
name-one that sounds better and means
more-wrap 1t up and bring it with you
next Friday night. Let every business
man who feels an interest in the town
come to the meeting ready to 60 to work.

Howard kIIIsa eosssI J. I,saus.. d rayIor

Frankfort, KY, April IL. Henry e.
Yout5ey yesterday, for the first time,
told on the witness stand his story of the
killing of the late Governor Goebel. He
named James Howard, the defendant, as
the man who fired the shot, Youtsey
said he saw Howard for the first time a
few minutes before. the shooting. How
ard had o letter sent him several days be-
fore by the witness at Governor Taylor's
dictation. Youtsey says fe took Howard
into the office of Caleb Powers, the Sec
rotary of State, which lad been especially
arranged for the shooting. He showed
Howard the Marlin rifle, the bullets and
the window from which the shooting
was TO be done. He says Howard asked
what he was to get for doing the shoot
ing; gy, 80,
says he asked, and that Howard said he
wanted a pardon for killing George Ba-
ker.
II told him he could have that and
more, too," said Youtsey. "About that
the gate and pointed him out to How
ard and then ran from the room. AS I
disappeared down the steps to tho base
ment l heard the crack of Howard's
rife"
Youtsey said that after the shooting
he passed through the StSte House base
menu ana rev minutes later came back
into the executive building from the east
entrance.
II stayed in the Office of Assistant Sec
retary of State Matthew's" said he, 'for
few moments and saw Matthews break
open Caleb Powers Office and find the
guns that had been left in there"
Youtsey said at the time of the shoot
ing he was private secretary to Auditor
Sweeneys, but, while his political status
was not definitely fixed, it was under
stood he was to have good place.
Governor Taylor" said Youtsey, "di-
rected everything we did. We regarded
him as our leader and he was morally
responsible for all we did. We knew we
had the Governor and the pardoning
power behind us and we were not afraid
of punishment for killing Goebel."
Youtsey, on cross-examination, said
that after he was arrested and later rent
to the penitentiary, he still had hopes of
gaining his liberty. He thought Yerkes
would be elected Governor and would
pardon him. Yerkes was defeated, how
ever, nnd about year ago he decided to
talk and did tell his story to Prison Ply
sician Tobin.
Youtsey said further that he had an
additional incentive to tell the story, as
Taylor, Powers and others had used him
as cats paw and scapegoat and then de-
serted him when he got into trouble.

A Great Day at Tokeena.

Friday, April 10th, was q red-letter
day in the history of our community.
May sunshine was never warmer nor
June skies any brighter than on this
balmy day in April, which witnessed the
closing of the Providence school. The
pupils assembled at 2.3O p. m.; their
bright faces set off by all glory of new
spring clothes to enjoy an Easter egg
hunt, and a delightful time it proved,
affording pleasure to the older people,
who watched the fun, as well as to the
eager hunters.
The feature of the afternoon, program
was practical, common sense speech by
Prof. S. p. Stribling. Songs by the
school en- masse completed the exercises.
At six o'clock bountiful supper was
spread on the grass of the very neat and
clean school grounds. AS the day drew
to its closing the crowd kept increasing
until at 8 O'Clock there were over thou
sand people on the grounds by q conserva-
tive estimate. After a few very appro-
pirate Introductory remarks by Prof.
Stribling the exercises of the evening
were opened by prayer offered by Prof.
M. G.. Barton. Some Of the special fea-
lures of the program we're:
Songs by the entire school.
Wand drill by sixteen girls.
Tableau-statuary
Tableau-Rock of Ages.
Observation-Disclosures and Saducee.n
Recitatiop-"The Raggedy Man."
Calisthenics drill by SO girls.
The ertire program was carried out
without fault and the pupils reflected
honor upon themselves and their teacher
by the manner in which they rendered
their parts. Reporter

SETS NEW MARK FOR MILE
Dick Welles Runs in 1872 rs at

Dick Welles,s yesterday, at the Harlem
track, Chicago, won the special match
race with B., 3. SInathers' Grand, OPERA
and in so doing he set a new worlds rec
ord for one mile on a circular track. The
winner time was 1925, which is one
fifth Of a second off the record made by
Allan a[Dale at Washington Park this
spring.
The race did not amount to much as a
contest, as. Grand Opera was at no time
near Dick. Welles, and the latter won in
a common canter.
Grand Opera had about half a length
the better Of the start, but in three jumps
Dick Welles was in front and he took the
rail at the first: turn. He opened UP gap
of two lengths at the far turn and he
maintained this advantage all the way to
the stretch, where he increased the lead to
five lengths. From there he was under
a stout pull and passed under the wire
21k lengths in front Of Grand Opera, and
only jogging.
