TO The CALLOWS
RAWLINGS MUST GO
Day OF Execution May Be xixed
4 by Court.
MAY BE- SENTENCED AT oNca
Not Necessary to Put Hanging of
Twenty Days, as a Man Can Only
Once Be Sentenced to Death in the
Same Case.

Atlanta, Nov. (-Now thai the SUI
preme court of the United States has
| declined % interfere with the judg-
me1t OF the state courts in the case
| or }. q. Rawlings, Of L0wndes coun-
| ty, sentenced to dea N for the murder
| OF tae Garter children, the question
OF he infliction of the death penalty
re2,s wholly with Lowndes county su-
periOr court.
There is no law or precedent for
that matter to prevent the execution
| OF Rawlings by order Of Lowndes
superior court, should the court see
tit to pass that order This mas al
ready been decided by the state su-
preme court.
1t is commonly supposed that the
law requires the lapse of al least 20
days from the time the date Of exc
cutiCn is set u1cI It is actually car
ried out. This is only true as to the
sentence Of death. Attorney Gener-
al Hart stated that a man can be SEN
fenced to death but once for the same
crime. What is commonly called
"re-sentencing, Is simply the fixing
OF day upon which the sentence, al
ready passed, shall be carried out.
1t is now with the Lowndes county
superior court to say on what day
old man Rawlings shall be hanged
There is no necessity even to await
the arrival of the mandate OF the
United States supreme court, Judge
Hart says, though that will probably
be done unless it is long delayed
The Washington tribunal has, how
ever, ordered thai mandate immedi-
ately transmitted and it is expected
it will reach the district court at Ma
con this week.
Old man Rawlings fate having been
finally de ermined by this decision OF
the United States supreme court,
nothing further stands in the way
of the prison commission considering
the applications of his sons, Milton
and Jesse, also sentenced to be hang
ed for the same crime, for executive
clemency. 1t is asked for the boys
that their sentences be commuted to
life imprisonment, and the prison
commission will take up their cases
for consideration and action at it's
meeting on November IS.

Close of PoIIs-E4earst Obliged to
Admit Defeat IN the Great Battle of
5sIiots In Gotham.

New York Nov. Z: Consolidated re-
turns today from all precincts in the
State indicate the election of Charles
Hughes governor by 10000 plurality
over Hearst. While Hearst had a
large majority in New York City, the
state vote was against him
Hearst and his friends are compelled
to admit his defeat in this decisive re-
suit against him.
Mr.. Hearst carried all the boroughs
of the greater city, despite the fact that
the early returns seemed to indicate
that he had lost Brooklyn.
No definite figures are yet available
as to the results with regard to the
subordinate state officers, and both
Democrats and Republicans are
claiming victories from Iiutenant gov
ernor down.
The indications are that the state
legislature will show but little change
in its political makeup.
This morning Mr.. Hearst gave out
the following statement:
In view of the result, l have only to
repeat whatI have said in my speeches.
l am enlisted in this fight against the
control of the government by the trusts
and corrupt corporations, and I will
fight it to the end.
But l will serve in the lead or in
the ranks just exactly as the people de-
sire, and as earnestly and Loyalty in
one place as in the other. The people
have decided to retain the Republican
party in power.
Il will make my fight in the ranks,
my best to promote the interests of my
fellow citizens"

A TYPE OF BUSINESS MAN.

It would be difficult to find a keener description of a certain type of busi- ness man than this. which Arthur Goodrich gives in his new novel aThe Balance of Power
 Samuel Hardy was one of those men who train themselves to look upon life as a kind of barbaric victory for s,,- premacy; a fight in which the ioy of victory is made keener by the humilia- lion and distress of those who are de- feated. Winning of itself was to him
 Justification for any course. and to the men who went down Tn failure he al- ways applied the same dogma: Served him right Whether the men opposed to him fought coura geouslv or not in- terested him little. The result alone was important-winning or losing There was nothing of the sportsman about him. As he sat at his desk now he heard from beyond many closed doors the whirr and hum of machinery the crash of heavy drops. the thudding of distant drills. the scraping murmur and regular clicking of a hundred lathes and automatic machines the rattle and thump of fashioned foot presses like the purring of immense cats; weird mass of sound, gigantic. chaotic. These were his single joy and inspiration. They formed to him a huge parade of power; bands playing. the multitude shouting. and the tramp. tramp, tramp of an army marching at his command. He had formed these regiments of men and machines: he had drilled them, marshaled them. led them day after day and year after year There had been mutinies, of course- whole lines of machines that had re- e- ,-T- L for larger wages and for shorter hours but he had always beaten them back into line.
 Through the window the warm June air. scented with wild-fiower fragrance from the field on which he meant some day to build an additional shop. brought it's message of peace. but he heard only the the striving cries of a gang of yard worknen below. and the clang of the iron they were moving. He was man who had refused the happi- ness that life offers and who had tried to replace it with happiness he man ufactured for himself

The sound of his step. which every workman knew as well as he knew the old. frowning face, meant for each to work the machine to it's utmost. with head and shoulders bent and eyes on the task. until the echo of the steps died away; and then to breathe again and to take things easily and to curse the old man to a neigh Dor while the machine took care of it. self. Travelling men in the moderate priced hotels to which he sent them. either sneered or trembled. according to their natural habit in the face of danger, when they found his letters at the desk. And Moriarity was rpt the only man upon whose patents Hardy had infringed when he was certain that the patentee had too little money to take the matter into the courts. The case of Moriarity had been particularly hard, however, because the little Irish man had served Hardy well for many years. and he was now fighting an un-

OPENING OF SCHOOLS.
The Training, Public and District
 Schools Began Work Yesterday.


 Yesterday marked the opening of nearly all the country schools in this locality and that of the Normal train ing and the public school. The attend ance in nearly every school showed an improvement over that of last year, and all the different teachers are look ing forward to very satisfactory term
 The Normal training school opened with every seat in the assembly room occupied. The total attendance was l45 and the capacity of the school is 15O. There remain, therefore, but very few more vacancies, and those who are desirous of having their children at tend there should make prompt appli- cation. The seventh and fourth grades are full and the primary grades nearly so. In the others there still remains a little room. As was the case last year.
 Dr. R. H. H. Blome has charge of the department, assisted by four critic teachers. Miss Mae McNulty super vises the work in the first and second grades; Miss Louise Lynd the work of the third and fourth: Miss Leona Haulot the work of the fifth and sixth
 and Miss Emma Fausett that Of the seventh and eighth. Prof A. B.

The room has had several new windows placed in it during the summer and is well adapted for its purpose, being large and roomy and well lighted.

 Some time ago the school board be- gan the consideration of the purchase of a number of nearby lots for play grounds. Exactly the property desired could not be secured. but Saturday the first payment was made on five lots facing the school and just across Eighth street from it. The property belonged to the Hilge estate and is in a very convenient location for it's in tended purpose. Possibly in time to come more suitable grounds may be se- cured, but the ones just bought will do very well for the present.
 The Alma school did not open yes terday as was expected. on account of the death the night before of William Pew, son of one of the trustees. a former member of the school and a young man highly respected in the
