CHEATING IN GAMES
At TIMES A Crime
What Judge Adams Of Saw
anRah Says Of 1t

Savannah, Ga, March 6.-Concern-
ing the recent action of the Florida
state convention on revising and cod
flying the school laws in approving a
statute making cheating in school eX-
aminations a crime subject to one
years Imprisonment, or $500 fine,
Judge Samuel B. Adams, president of
the Board of Education, said yester-
day.
while the present wording of the
dispatch contained in today's issue
of the Morning News is rather ambig-
uous, it strikes me that such a statute
would apply to examinations of teach
ers for a place in the public schools
and as such | think that it would be
very good law.
1T would be absurd to make such d
statute in regard to the examinations
of school children, however. WhN
should they make criminals out Of
them. Children often cheat without
knowing that it is wrong or without
deliberate intent Take for example IN
the recitation class "a teacher asks a
pupil a question, the child may not
know the answer, but a pupil near
by prompts him and he gives the cor
rect solution. That would be cheat
ing, yet you could hardly blame the
child who would not consider it a
wrong.
81 should say that this law would
apply to the examination of teachers
and | think that it is right that the
public should be guarded against this
fraud. A school teacher taking an
examination for a place in a public
school where he or she would re
cieve the public's money, commits a
crime when they deliberately cheat
and should be punished. Such a
case has never come to my attention
Nor am | prepared at present to al
vocate the adoption of such law in
Georgia"

ROMANCE OF THE
MARKHAM BOYS
CGntraPS Chief Finds Long
Lost Brother
New York World.)

Two brothers, Charles T. Markham
president of the Illinois Central rail-
road, and John T. Markham, brick
layer and plasterer at Hopkinsville,
KY, were reunited today after a sep
aration caused by the civil war nearly
Fifty years ago.
q had searched for my brother for.
years." said President Markham, but
gar up a long time ago and accepted
the theory that he was dead. He, too,
hat searched for me. When he learned
that Charles T. Markham was recently
made president of the Illinois Central
he determined to communicate with
me- He did so, but l could scarcely
believe it was my brother Today I
oa'lod him up on the telephone in
Hopkinsvllle, and verified the fact that
he is my brother"
The railway executive sat in his pri
vate Office at the Park Row station
during the conversation, but his bro
ther, who is seventy years of age, wac
at a public telephone in Hopkins
Vile. When it was learned that news
of the re union had become public,
President Markham left his Offices
The story of the separation of the
tro brothers is one of the many pl
thctie incidents furnished by the bit
ter differences of opinion in civil war
times. The Markham home was III
GAINESVILLE, Tenn. Charles Who il
forty years later was to achieve fame
as railway head, was a young child
and his brother John just entering in
to manhood when the civil war broke
out John enlisted in the Confederate
army and like many who waged
heroic fight on the losing side, Re
was left without resources when
peace was declared.
Charles was taken north by his,
step-father and has spent most of his
time north of the Mason and Dixon
line. The present railway magnate
was compelled to face an early strug-
gle.
He began in the capacity of chair>
man for a party of surveyors. He
made his way upward until ten years
ago, when he retired as vice presi-
dent of the Oregon Short Line to ac-
cept the presidency of a Texas oil
company. Five weeks ago he was Sc
lected to succeed j. T. Harlhan, presi-
dent of the Illinois Central Then he
became president of the Central of
Georgia. He is ffty-two years Of
age
The elder brother, John, began work
as laborer after the war, learned the
trade of plasterer and has lived IL
many places in the South.
During the seventies Charles r.
Markham pressed the search for his
brother. He visited GAINESVILLE, but
the only clue he obtained was that his
brother had been mustered out after
receiving three wounds. He advertis
ed and investigated the Markham
families all over the North and South.
only to meet with disappointment.

lis AMERICUS TO HAVE
STREET RAILWAY, EVER?
Opportunity Is Again Afforded
for One

Is Americas, at any time in future.
to keep the pace in the general march
of progress by having an electric
railway line; a system that will rem
der available for residential purposes
the great outlying districts, at pres
ent not in demand for this purpose
simply for lack of transportation ia
ciliries?
II is question naturally comes 10
the fore again since the Supreme
conrt has sustained the opinion of the
court here declaring null and void the
contract entered into years ago by the
city with the local lighting company.
One of the very important features
of this agreement was the building by
the company of an electric street rail-
way system of several miles length.
This was not done, of course, and
now that the franchise previously
granted has been rescinded the oppor
tInity of securing this greatly needed
Ell terprise at the hands of some other
company is once more open and avail
able. viii Americas get the railway,
and at whose hands?
Interested parties from Philadelphia
we're here recently, looking the field
over with a probable view of taking
hold of the railway proposition, ana
it is possible that something tangible
may result ere long from that source.
If not, there are doubtless others who
will take hold of it,
If Americas is to progress, the
electric railway must be the first
step in that direction.

When the Moore substitute bill was
submitted, the Democrats were Jared

suspected that there was some snake

Mr.. Moore said that so far as he
knew it was a fair measure and was
intended 10 provide a clear election

Some of the Democratic Assembly

oppose the Moore substitute to the end
even at the expense of continuing the
illegal government for Wilmington.
Some of the Democratic members will

The bill requires a twO-thirds vote
