SEEMS THAT FAIRBANKS
MEN ARE NOT WILLING.
All Arrangements for Presen-
tation of the Indiana Mans
Name to the Convention Are
Being Completed.

Washington, May 16.-Taft and
Fairbanks.
1t has become known that influen-
tial politicians, prominent senators
and representatives have undertaken
to nominate the above ticket.
Great pressure is being brought to
bear upon the vice president and the
vice presidents friends to induce
them to adopt this program. Nearly
all of the vice presidents most influ-
entail friends have been approached
on the subject
Senator Murray Crane, who has
been one of the most active workers
in the field" against Secretary Taft.
is now an energetic promoter of this
so-called harmony" program. In fact,
he is regarded as the go-between who
is trying to bring about an amicable
understanding all around. Senator
Crane approached several friends Of
the vice president on the proposition
solution of the presidential problem
in sight.
Fairbanks Does Not Accept.
It is not understood that any of the
vice presidents friends are showing
the least disposition to yield, although
the pressure is becoming strong. Ar
rangements for the presentation of
Mr.. Fairbanks name for the presi-
denCy are proceeding without inter
ruptiOn and Joseph B. Healing has
started from Washington to Chicago
to open Fairbanks headquarters at
the Auditorium Annex. The fact that
Mr.. Healing is taking this step after
two days conference with Mr.. Fair
banks and the latters friends in
Washington is taken as an indication
that the efforts to bring about a com
promise and to renominate Mr.. Fair
banks for vice president have not
made much of an impression so far
on the persons sought to be influence
ed.
Today is the last day for the cleo
tion of delegates to the republican
national convention and with the clos
ing of the lists Secretary Taft S
friends lay claim to ninety-five more
votes than are necessary to nominate
their candidate. This evening at six
o'clock Frank II. Hitchcock will issue
statement in which he will claim
Mr.. Tafts nomination and set forth
in tabulated form the delegates the
secretary of war is expected to re-
ceive from all the states.

WANTS ORDINANCES ENFORCED
Sunday Opening and Sweeping Trash
on the Streets.

Houhudy OpCHlHS anu sweeping Trash
on the Streets.
The News has received a note from
a citizen requesting that the paper
call attention to the need of more
rigid enforcement of two ordinances.
His complaint is best told by him
self. He says:
81 saw it published that the city
council was going to enforce the or
dinances prohibiting the opening of
business houses to sell on Sunday,
and the sweeping and throwing of
trash in the streets. | see that Meth
er is enforced in every instance. 1t
is not right that some of the business
houses comply with tie law while
others are allowed to violate it by
selling on Sunday. If the council
mean what they say and have not
sufficient police to patrol the city
on Sunday they ought to put on
extra men. Let the city fathers see
that the ordinances are carried out
or repeal them. AS they are, they
are dead letters on the statute
book"

Mrs. Frank Parks and little

Officer Kelley Shot Negro Who Drew
an Axe on Him.
About nine o'clock Sunday night
Policeman William Kelley shot Will
Barnum, a negro, producing a pain
full though not dangerous wound.
1t seems that Barnum, who is a
weak-minded darkey and is thought
to be crazy, was raising disturb
ance at the home of Leroy Jones,
who called in Officer Kelley.
When the policeman reached the
scene and demanded that the door
be opened Barnum, with an oath,
said that he would open it, but would
at the same time knock the officers
head off. When the door had been
partly opened Mr.. Kelley saw the
negro in the attitude of striking him
with an axe, and pulled his pistol
and fired. The ball went through
Barnum's arm between the elbow
and wrist.
Barnum was later arrested, and
put in jail to be tried for lunacy.

TO GET CHILDREN'S NAMES
NEW SCHOOL CENSUS WILL BE
TAKEN THIS MONTH.
An Enumeration Will Probably Be
Employed for Each Militia Dis
trict in the County.


The county board of education will
hold their regular monthly meeting
in Commissioner Wilkinson's office at
the court house Thursday when ar
rangements will be made for the pur-
pose of taking a census of the school
children of Terrell county between
the ages of six and eighteen years.
The census is taken every five
years. In 1908, when it was last
taken, there were 4.224 school chill
dren in the county, including Daw-
son. OF these 1850 were whites and
2,274 negroes.
The average attendance in the
schools of the county in 1903, not
including the city of Dawson, was
1904, of which S64 were whites and
,440 negroes.
The records in the commissioners
Office show that the average attend
ance was less in 1907 (last year,
than it was five years ago, being
2,123. Both races show a falling off,
the white attendance being 716
against oOf III I5Uo, anu inc HS5lO
attendance 1886 against LAO.
In taking the census the parents
of children, both white and colored,
will have to give the age of the chill
dren, whether they can read or write,
if they have ever attended public
schools, are they deaf, dumb or blind,
and many other questions.
The Dawson schools are not under
the supervision of the county board,
being an Independent system, and the
city school commissioners will make
arrangements for taking the census
in town.
