Schools with total enrolment OF
less than fifteen pupils should not
be maintained as separate institu-
tions. Not only Is the per capita cost
too high, but the instruction and
school life cannot equal that which is
possible in larger schools.
This Is the opinion of Professor G.
A. Brickcr of the Ohio state Uni
versary who will lecture on the
Rural School Problem" at the town
hall at Waldo Novebmer sth 1t Is

JAPS NOW TAKE TO
GREAT AMERICAN GAME
League Being Formed on Pacific Coast
With Capital of $3,OOO,OOO.

New York, April 23.-A baseball
league, to be composed exclusively of
Japanese, is being formed on the Pa
cific coast, with headquarters at Sc
attic, Wash.
A working capital of more than 49,
100000 has been raised and articles
of Incorporation are now being fl
ed. Headed by Ito, the wrestler, who
is being backed by the leading Nippon
csc merchants of Seattle, Portland and
San Francisco, a six-city league is in
process of formation, which when in
complete working order will furnish
three games a week.
It is planned to have the teams in
the various cities organized and in
trim for the opening game on June 1.
The schedule is bothering the Orien-
tails, because of the extreme length
of the circuit, which will require much
travelling. The winning team will be
provided with funds to invade the
home land and try for the champion
ship of the Japanese race.

HARDAMAN THINKS OF
BEING A CANDIDATE
Jackson Statesman Wants
Governors Chair.

Columbus, Ca, April 23.-Dr.~L. G
Hardman, of Commerce, will be can
didate for governor of Georgia in the
coming primary, according to Senator
Williford, of Madison, who was in Co
lumbus in attendance at the Royal Ar
canum convention. Senator Williford
says, that in his opinion, DR.. Hard
man will enter the race and that he
will be a powerful factor in the con-
est.
There is a strong sentiment in
northeast Georgia for DR.. Hardman,' -
declared the senator, "and he is also
receiving encouragement from other
sections of the state, where people are
tired of the conflict between Brown
and Smith factions. The people, in oar
section recognize in DR.. Hardman a
man possessed with peculiar fitness
for the high office of governor, and
while he has not signiffed definitely
Ills intention in the matter, it is be-
lieved in north Georgia that he will
enter the race and that he will be-
come the leading candidate DR.. Hard
man has represented his home county
-Jackson-in the state legislature for
some ten or twelve years and is there
fore familiar with the wants of the
people and the needs of the state He
will be the next governor of our great
commonwealth, in my opinion"

DIR. LONGS FIRST ETHER
PATIENT HAS JUST DIED
He Was Operated on Under Anesthetic
IS Years Ago.

Gainesville, Ga, April 23-Rev. Jas.
Venable, better known in Jackson
county and in Gainesville, in which
place he had lived for twenty-five
years, as Captain Venable," died at
his home here last week and was bu-
ried-simple services being SAID at his
grave and his funeral occurring at
the First Methodist church of this
city-he being a member of THAT
church for many years, and a local
preacher of that denomination for
many years.
1t is significant that his death
should have occurred just few days
before the unwilling of a monument
to DR.. Crawford w. Long at Jeffer-
son-for it is stated that Capt Ven
able was the first patient upon whom
DR.. Long operated successfully en-
ploying ether as an anaesthetfc-the
operat on making the basis of the
claims which are now recognized ov 5r

eighty years of age at the time of
his death.
