DEATH OF MRS. B. B. WILLIAMS
A Former Resident of Dawson Passes
Away in Albany.

Friends in Dawson of Mrs. B. B.
Williams, a former resident here,
will learn with much regret of her
death at her home in Albany The
following account Of the sad oc-
.currence is from the Albany Herald
OF Monday afternoon:
The sad death of a young wife
and mother occurred late Saturday
afternoon, when Mrs. B. B. Williams
passed away at her home after a
short illness.
Mrs. Williams had been i'll about
two weeks with gastritis and compli-
cations. Saturday morning she was
thought to be much better and Mr..
Williams left the city on business
trip. He was called home, however,
when change for the worse in his
wife's condition took place, and her
last words were to him as, with her
arms around his neck, she told him
that she was dying. The last sink
ing spell came at O'Clock, and the
sufferer died at 6:10 o'clock.
Mrs. Williams left, besides her
husband, three little boys, the eldest
about nine and the youngest only
four months of age. They are Jona-
than, B. B., Jr., and baby Doyle.
Mrs. Williams was buried in Oakview
cemeter by the side of her TWO little
girls, who died while the family lived
| in Dawson.
Mrs. Williams had been a resi-
dent Of Albany several years. She
came here with her husband from
Dawson, and during her residence
here had made many friends to
whom her death came as a great
shock and sorrow"

RESTRICTIONS ARE REMOVED
Country Schools No Longer Confined
BY the Board of Education
Seven Grades.

The recent action of the county
board of education creating three or
four high schools in different parts
of the county and prohibiting the
teaching of studies higher than the
seventh grade in the other rural
schools has been rescinded, and all
the schools given the privilege of
teaching as high a curriculum as
may be desired.
The action of the board in lower
ing the curriculum of the schools
caused general dissatisfaction with
the patrons, and a movement was be-
gun for the purpose of having an
election called and the question of
repeating the local school tax again
submitted to the voters.

prospective vacancy in the governors
Office became apparent he has taken
the position that there should be no
active campaigning until it actually
exists. In fact, he is much opposed
to long drawn-out and heated cam
paigns. He does not believe they do
any good. In these days of quick
transportation and general reading
of newspapers, he thinks, the voters
can inform themselves of the issues
and the men in shorter while than
of old.
Therefore, he will not open up I'M
til later on, very Likely not until Gov
erncr Smith actually resigns. He
will give no indication of what his
platform will be until his formal an
nouncement is given to the public.
VIII Stand on HIS Record.
However, his record as governor
and as a citizen will aid the voters in
determining his fitness for the Of
fee.
He will stand for conservatism,
for prosperity and fair-dealing. This
is his record. He will oppose the ar
raging of class against class, and the
taking of advantage of any species
of property to make war upon.
During the next month the gov
ernor will spend the most of his
time on his Cherokee county farm,
and will give little or no attention
to the campaign now being waged by
the other candidates.
Governor Smith has indicated
that he will not have his resignation
become effective before November 1.
1t may be filed a month earlier. At
ter it is filed the executive committee
may call a primary for the nomina-
ton Of governor for the unexpired
term.
Primary in December.
1t is not likely that the primary
will be called before December Is,
or about that time. This will give
sixty days following the filing of the
governors resignation and thirty
days after it becomes effective for
the campaign.
Governor Brown believes that so
days gives entirely sufficient time for
a race to be made. His present in
tention is to undertake no active
campaigning before the 18th of Oc-
tObeT.
He has made no campaign plans,
and it is likely that he will differ in
some respects from those heretofore
pursued by him and others. He does
not take kindly to the ancient "head-
quarters" idea and may have none.
OF course he will have to have some
place for his managers Office and for
his clerical force to work, but it is
not probable that there will be
centrally located, much emblazoned
place especially for the entertain
ment of visitors.
