WHITE WOMAN IN CHANGING
There Was Much Indignation i'm
MOultrie When She Appeared
on the Streets.

MOULTRIE, Ga.-An unusually
degrading sight was witnessed upon
the streets of this city when a white
woman of the town was sentenced
to work upon the streets in default
of paying a fine after her conviction
in the recorders court.
She was convicted of an infraction
of the municipal ordinances and sem
fenced to pay fine of SO or work
twenty days upon the streets. Be-
ing unable to raise the required
amount she was forced to accept the
alternative, and was placed at work
shoveling dirt on the streets along
with a negro convict.
A large crowd of negroes quickly
gathered, and the sight seemed to
please them greatly. Some of the
best citizens were enraged when the
fact was discovered, and a young
lawyer of the city, rather than see a
white female so degraded, paid her
fine and she was liberated. 1t was
done none too soon, as a crowd was
quietly getting together for the pur-
pose of forcibly liberating her.

TWO KENTUCKY EPITAPHs.
Unusual Inscriptions Over Men Who
Met Violent Deaths.

IN the beautiful little city of the
dead in the historic city of Eddyville
is a plain slab bearing the inscrip-
ton: Murdered in cold blood by
Martin Bigwood and Hylan Skinner. 3"
This was erected by the widow of
Charles Gatewood. Both Bigwood
and Skinner served terms in the pen
itentiary for the crime. Skinner was
"a member of one of the most promi-
nent families in western Kentucky.
He travelled over the entire habitable
world and then returned to Eddyville
and surrendered to the authorities.
Both were pardoned before their
terms expired, and so far as we know
have since led reputable lives. Many
efforts were made to have Mrs. Gate
wood erase the inscription, but she
refused to authorize it, and it is
there to this day.
In the state cemetery at Frankfort
on classic marble column may be
found the name and a brief record of
the life of Solomon P. Sharp, and at
the close may be found the signif-
cant words: stabbed to death
while extending the hand of hospi-
tality. Mr.. Sharp, at the time of his
death in the early part of the last
century, was one of the most promi-
nent men of his age in the state.
He was killed by his former friend
and protege, Jereboam Beauchamp
The killing involved a family feud

TO SHOW COTTON ABROAD
Senator Terrell Introduces ResOlu-
ton Providing for Ten CONNER
ciaI Cotton Agents.

WASHINGTON. "A movement
which, if finally adopted will be of
great practical benefit to the inter
ests of the south was started here to-
day by Senator Terrell of Georgia.
Senator Terrell introduced a joint
resolution which is recommended by
the department of commerce and la
Dor authorizing the secretary of com
MERGE and labor to employ ten COM
mercial agents to be stationed in for
eign lands for the purpose of pro-
noting foreign commerce of the
United tates in raw cotton and its
manufactured products.
According to the provisions of the
joint resolution no agent is to re-
ceive in compensation more than $40
a day and actual travelling expenses
while so engaged.
Reports of such agents are to be
disseminated by the department of
commerce and labor.
The joint resolution carries with
it an appropriation of $4,000 to
carry on the work according to the
povisions.
The resolution has been referred
to the committee on agriculture, of
which Senator Terrell is a member.
There is little doubt but that this
committee will report unanimously
in favor of the resolution.
While the cotton of the south is
already famous the world over it is
a well known fact among persons
familiar with the subject that the
product, with little difficulty, can
find a better demand abroad, and
consequent frmer prices to the pro-
Queer.

CUTS DOWN CAPITOL SALARIES.
Cong. ROddenbery Routs Force of
Republican Orators.

Congressman Roddenbery of the
Second Georgia district got in action
in the house Friday. The occasion
of his remarks was the report of a
committee recommending that the
force of policemen at the capitol be
cut half in two
The democrats wanted a large
number of useless employees laid off,
and the republicans opposed the plan.
This brought on wordy debate be-
tween Mr.. Roddenbery and several
republican members of the house.
After an hour or more the men we're

and his democratic colleagues were
victorious. Because of the vigorous
manner in which Mr.. Roddenbery
spoke he received considerable APP

TEACHERS SUMMER SCHOOL.
The Georgia Normal Will Be in SEES
sion From June 20 to August z.

The Summer Normal School for
teachers, which is conducted in the
buildings of the State University at
Athens, has published its bulletin
announcing dates June 20 to Au-
gust 2. The faculty is large and a
very able one, and the outline of
work quite extensive. Among the
lecturers from a distance are DR..
Henry G. Williams, dean of the Nor
NAL College of Ohio, and DR.. Lincoln
Hulley, president of Stetson Univer-
sity.
The programme seems complete
n excellent courses for teachers, and
we hope that many of our teachers
will attend and our schools reap
good returns.
The railroads give reduced rates,
which have been made better than
those announced in the bulletin.
Some counties will send nearly the
whole corps of teachers.

II must not be assumed that all the

enforced upon them by the tremen-
