A ROUNDED EDUCATION
FOR EVERY GIRL
Converse College Has Perfected a
Beautifully Rounded Standard of
Artistic, Scientific and
Womanly Education.

1t is not imagined at Converse that Col
lege Pedagogy resolves itself Into the
theory Of least resistance. Although par
ticular pains are taken to educate every
girl according to her tastes rather than
athwart them, still instruction in science
and mathematics is as painstaking and
capable as any other.
Mathematics here rises to the intergral
calculus. and science to organic chemis-
try, while in other departments are of
fered, for example thorough courses
in economics, psychology, etc, all for the
sake of BREADTH recognizing the educated
woman's cultured interest in all things
human, yet cherishng in constant remem-
brance the fact that a woman's interest,
a woman's place in the world demands
the womanly education Of women. For
the exceptional woman there are 9TH
er institutions, but at Converse College it
Is not Believed that the average girl
cares or needs to be a specialist. For
instance in art and music, while the
specially talented girl is given fullest OPP
portunty. still each and every individual
is taught to hear and see with that UNI
Outstanding which insures full interpre-
tation and appreciation of masterpieces.
All In ALL above all things, Converse
College, of Spartanburg, S. c., stands for
the highest perfection in comprehensive,
rounded education for girls.

BOTH CALLAHAN
And HARGIS FREE
JURY RETURNS VERDICT OF NOT
GUILTY IN % MlNuTES-WERE
CHARGED WITH MURDER OF
J. 3. MARcUM.

Beattyvllle, KY, July 1.-THE jury in
the Hargls- Callahan trial returned a YER
dict of not guilty after being out twenty
two minutes. The case was one of the
most desperately fought battles in Ken
lucky court for years The men were
charged with the murder of ]. b. Marcum
The verdict of not guilty in the Mar
cum trial is the elimination of long and
bitter fight in courts in an attempt TO
convict James Hargis and Ed Callahan,
as chief conspirators in one of the dark
est crimes in Kentucky's history. James
b. Marcum was a mountain republican
lawyer of excellent standing. He was en-
gagged three years ago as an attorney in
the contest against Hargis and Callahan
respectively, democratic county judge and
sheriff-elect, to GUST them from their
offices on an allegation of corrupt cleo
ton Much bitterness was aroused and
frequent open ruptures occurred. In May
1903 Marcum was shot to death from
behind In the Jackson court house. Curt
Jet and Tom White were convicted and
given life terms for the murder. 1t was
charged that they were the tools of Gala
han. Hargis and others. Jet, after his
conviction, confessed that he shot Mar
cum and that his act was inspired by Cal
lahan and Hargs. On the witness stand,
however, he repudiated the confession and
said he alone was responsible. The ae-
quittal followed largely on this repudia-
ton.
A jury of Clark county citizens returned
a verdict for $4,000 a year ago against
Hargis on the allegation that he had
caused Marcum to be killed. The suit was
filed by Mrs. Marcum. Hargis and Cal
lahan are yet to be tried in the Lexing-
ton court for the killing of James Cockrell
under similar circumstances.
