Max Wilson, prominent white far
mer of Heard county, near Franklin,
few days ago, has been captured
and jailed by the sheriff.
Mr.. Wilson was sitting on stump
when the negro shot him in the back,
killing him instantly.
The murder was prompted by re-
venge. Three months ago, Wilson
killed Hardy's brother in self-defense.
1t is said that Hardy has repeatedly
said that he intended to kill Will
son.
Four other negroes, George Hous-
ton and his two sons, Ed and
Charles, and Pleas Armand, are said
to have backed Hardy in the commit
ment of the crime, and they have
been taken in custody by the officers.
White Man to Succeed Rucker.
There is current in Atlanta, ac-
cording to The Journal, a persistent
md seemingly we'll founded report to
the effect that Henry A. Rucker, the
negro internal revenue collector for
he northern district will be repac-
ed by a white man by President
Roosevelt in the near future. Those
in position to know insist upon the
correctness of the report, and say
he change will be made shortly, al
though the name of his successor has
not been mentioned in connection
with the report.
Some time ago it was reported that
Ruc1er would be removed by the
president and a white man appointed
to succeed him. At that time, how
ever. it was said that President
Roosevelt would decline to remove
the collector unless something could
be found against his official record,
and this, It was said, was regarded
rs very good by the chief executive.
Since that time, however, it is said,
the president has changed his mind
about the matter, and has at last
fully determined to name a white
man to succeed the collector.
The position is one of the best the
government has in the south. 1t pays
salary of over $4,000 per year.
More Room Needed for Girls.
| It is believed the legislature at it's
coming session, will have presented
before it in a stronger light than ever
I before the necessity Of increasing thc
facilities for the proper instruction
of young girls in Georgia, such in
struction rs is now being given then
at the Geol gia Normal and Industrial
college at AIilledgeville.
There were just 10 applicants
turned away from the Georgia NO:
NAL this year, according to President
NJ M. Parks.
The school now has 373 students
in the regular departments, besides
sixty others in the model department
and the classes are all just as fuj
as it is possible to fill them.
The only solution Of the problem
is to increase the facilities OF the
Milledgevil,e institution, giving Il
more buildings and more teachers
OF to build a new normal and in.
dustrial college in some other parl
of Georgia.
