Investigating the KloeCkIer Case.
After a half hours meeting at the
court house in Atlanta Saturday morn
ing, which bristled with some startling
sensations and some most remarkable
dialogues, the coroner decided to wipe
off his slate everything that had been
done in the investigation of the death
Of Miss Sophie KloeckIer and to get
new jury, summon all the witnesses
over again, and hold new inquest
from start to finish.
Never before in Fulton county, and
probably never before in the state, has
such thing as two inQuests been held
over the dead body of the same person.
Il Will be done this time, as Solicitor
Hill expressed it, to satisfy the pub
lie and stop a certain amount OF adj
verse criticism"
The reward offered by The Atlanta
Constitution for the arrest and con-
viction Of the murderer Of Sophie
Kloeckler was quickly followed by
other rewards, and now the grand to-
tai reaches $1,000, the largest reward
that has been offered for a murderer
in Georgia in several years.
This Constitution reward recalls the
payment of reward of $500 which
was offered by that paper in 1899 for
the capture of Sam Hose, the negro
murderer and rapist.
The murder Of Alfred Crawford
and the assault of Mrs. Crawford by
Sam Hose, which occurred in April,
1899, near Palmetto, Ga, was one
CT the most shocking crimes ever com
mitted in Georgia. The captor Of Hose
was promptly paid, although the negro
was burned at the stake.
Use Of Tobacco by School Children.
President Lyman Hall, in talk
to his students, some time ago, on
the use Of tobacco by the students,
gave the following facts:
"The use of tobacco in early youth
checks the growth Of mind and body.
When YOU offer a cigarette to a friend,
you are saying: ALLOW me to impair
your future manhood by Offering
poison, delightful in present effect,
but which leaves in its wake the ashes
of intellect and a Withered remnant
of your physique.
"a friend of mine who is a Phi
d. from one of the universities
abroad, says that although the Ger
mans are the greatest smokers Of all
nations, the first prize in mathematics
has never been won in a German uni
versity by q student who uses to-
baccO.
Let us come nearer home. The
present senior class is about evenly
divided into smokers and nOn-smokers.
Yet the highest average III class SIanu-
ing predominant among the non-smok-
ers. There is q member Of that class
who, in my opinion, would now be at
the top had he loved his interests
more and his tobacco less. When two
of that class were chosen as acting
instructors the faculty had many
points of ability, tact and character
to consider. The choice happened to
fall on two non-users.
"The highest averages in the senior
middle, junior, apprentice and sub
apprentice classes at the present time
happens TO be held by non-users.
I'm the middle class there is only
one user His mark is below an av-
erage taken Of all the others.
