TEACHERS TO BE
TAUGHT BY MAI

Teaching teachers, by mail, TO teach
school: a correspondence course in peda-
gogy. in short-this is the latest innova-
ton in the educational line in Georgia,
and IL will receive its first try-out from a
state institution, with chance that the
legislature may make an appropriation TO
defray the expenses. The movement orig
mated with the faculty of the State Nor
NAL college of Athens, II has the indorse-
ment of the trustees of that institution
and il will be inaugurated with the begin
ming of the fall term.
The State Normal college at Athens Is
one of the principal educational institu-
tions of the state. 1t has done, and is
still doing a great work for the women
Of the state by way OF training them to
be school teachers. The usefulness Of
the college is, unfortunately, limited, ow-
ing to its meager appropriation. Yearly,
many young women who would like to
avail themselves of its advantages are de-
MED the opportunity. it is stated, because
Of the cost attendant upon living away
from home.
The faculty of the college believes that
a correspondence course in pedagogy
would prove a success. Its members are
assured that scores of women throughout
the state, unable for one reason or anoth-
er to attend the college In person, would
welcome the opportunity of instruction by
maitland they are assured, also, that
pedagogy can be successfully taught by
mail
The board of trustees has accepted the
judgment of the faculty, and has adopted
a correspondence course, which will be
inaugurated next fall. There will, 1t is
stated, be a nominal charge for the
course, and 1t may prove self sustaining,
but failing to do so II is believed the leg
islature will make an appropriation suf-
flcient to make the innovation a perma-
nent feature OF the course.

PLAYED PIANO TOO MUCH;
is SENT TO ASYLUM

NEW YORK, June 2.-The residents
of Charleston, S. c., thought that Mrs
Anna Brohm, of New York, was insane
because she played the piano in the hotel
at unreasonable hours and persisted in
singing when she was requested to desist.
Therefore, supervisor Of the county poor,
william P. Cantwell, brought her to New
York last night. He registered her at
the Broadway Central hotel. After noti-
flying the health department to call for
her and confine her in an asylum he and
the nurse who accompanied them, went
out to see Broadway.
They said that Mrs. Brohm had talked
continuously for "a hours and that they
needed rest. In their absence, Mrs. Brohm
found the piano in the Broadway Central
hotel and played it in such manner as to
lead The management to call for an am.
bulance and the police. When the South
Carolina officer and the nurse returned to
the hotel, they found that their charge
had already reached the psychopathic
ward at Bellevue hospital.

PoSTMASTERS PLAN
FOR BIG CONVENTION

WASHINGTON. d. c., June 1.-The
executive committee of the national as
sociation of second and third-class post
masters has been in session in this city
for the past few days arranging for the
approaching convention in Gainesville,
Ga. The committee has brought together
the most prominent postmasters of the
national order from the north and middle
west.
Mrs. Helen d. Longstreet, widow of the
famous Confederate general, is the only
woman and the only southerner on the
committee. Mrs. Longstreet is postmas-
ter at Gainesville, Ga, one of the lar
gest second grade office in the country.
1t was Mrs. Longstreet's eloquence and
charm OF personality that captured the
postmaster's association at Indianapolis
last fall, and won the convention for her
home town this year over half dozen
of the large cities Of the country. The
postmasters will be in session in Gaines
vile on the Sth, 9Th, 10th and 18th of Sep.
TENDER.
The largest attendance In the history of
the association is expected. Postmaster
General Hitchcock and other department
officials will be in attendance. 1t is likely
that President Taft will be touring the
south at that time and every effort will
be made to induce to stop by Gainesville
for a day to meet the postmasters.
Gainesville, for 40 years. was the home
of the late General James Longstreet,
the leading southern Republican of his
day. Last fall, the Ninth congressional
district, in which Gainesville is located.
gave President Taft the first majority
vote ever cast for a Republican. 1t is
probable that President Taft would be
glad to be the guest OIL the city in the
mountains of Georgia for day, If he
could so arrange his southern itinerary.

MACON COUNTY NEGRO
PAYS DEATH PENALTY

OGLETHORPE, Ga, June promptly
at IL o'clock Sheriff Hicks pulled the

he had nothing to say and asked his

provocation, words or warning whatever.
He was captured about one month ago
and was promptly tried, convicted and
sentenced to be hanged June LIST. Since his
conviction he has been kept in the county
jail of Bibb county.
Public indignation has been aroused as
never before, and only the nearness OF
the time of the converting of the supe-
rior court and the respect Macon county
people have for law and order, saved
him from lynching.

HOLD INQUEST OVER
DEATH OF ONE FOOT

NEW YORK, June 1.-Coroner Brewer,
of Brooklyn. will today or tomorrow hold
an unusual inquest, Into the death Of
one right leg and one right foot"
This peculiar ceremony is made neces-
sary by the action of DR.. Gould, of the
Norwegian hospital, who filed with the
board of health a regularly executed
death certificate describing the leg and
foot which he had amputated from a man
who had been injured in street car acct
dent.
DIR. Gould sent the dismembered leg and
foot to the mOrgue and described the
cause OF death, in the death certificate,
to amputation. Coroner Brewer contends
that this formality makes it necessary for
him to hold an inquest on the leg and
foot.

the advance of prices because OF the NC
Kinley bill was more Imaginary than

result of the campaign was the biggest
slaughter of Republican congressional
candidates the country has seen, and the
Democrats came into control of the house
by the biggest majority any party ever
had in that body.

Democrats had previously thrown out

II they did not Justify, their prophecy.
The remaining history OF the tariff as

too much is claimed for protection and too
much blame is laid upon 1t, perhaps the
same may be said of low tariff, but these
claims and charges as made for each
system serve we'll TO make the tarin a
perfect political issue. The present state
of acquiescence in protection has a
counterpart in a past state of acceptance
of free trade. Who knows but that the

Fatal Injury at OeIwein.

Beryl Skeels, the 16 year old son
of Gus Skeels was killed at the
Great Western shops in Oelwein on
Wednesday. The young man was
employed as helper in the black
smith shops. For the past two days
they had been troubled with a hot
box in the upper shafting. Just
how it happened no one will ever
know but it is presumed that his
clothing must have caught in a burr
on the pulley wheel His body was
instantly wrapped around the shaft
which threw the belt brom the pull
ley and stopped the machinery.
When his Mortified comrades reach
ed the body his clothing was torn
from his body, his legs were wrap
ped around the shaft like a piece of
cord, the top of his head was torn
off and pieces of the skull and brain
were thrown about the room and
through the window and his head
almost severed from the body.

Child is Hanged.

A serious accident occurred at
the farm home of Daniel O'Rieley,
seven miles southwest of McGregor,
Friday forenoon about IL O'Clock.
His three children were playing on
the porch and in some manner his
youngest son, James, 13 years of
age, got his head caught in the loop
in a strap hanging from the porch
roof, and losing his balance, was sus.
pended in the air by the chin.
Shortly afterwards he was discover
ed by his sister, who removed him
into the house in an unconscious
condition. After diligent work he
was relieved somewhat, but up un-
til evening had not fully regained
consciousness. 1t was very forum
ate for the youngster that others
were nearby and that he was dis
covered at the time, for a few mo-
ments more would have proved
fatal.

Boy Captured by Gypsies.

A boy came to his home in this
city Wednesday morning in a some
what excited condition. He told
his folks a story that was a hair
raiser all right, one that is interest
ing, if true. His people had worried
about him during the long hours of
the night, and when he reached
home at 6 a. m, he was received
with open arms. His story: While
coming home at about 10 p. M,
from an electric theatre he had been
seized, bound and gagged by the
gypsies. They had thrown him into
one of their wagons on the outskirts
of the city, and along toward morn
ing he had managed to slip the
cords off his wrists and get them
off his ankles. The marks of the
cords on his wrists and ankles were
plain. If it is true the gypsies
should be apprehended and If it is
boys pipe dream told to excuse
his absence, it is pretty good yarn.
