A human skull and bones were un-
earthed by men excavating for the
National Fireproofng Company on
top Of a hill south of Smith street
near the city's westerly boundary
line yesterday. The gruesome find
was discovered within two feet of
the surface Of the ground. It's loca-
tion at that point is mystery. Some
workmen think the bones may be
those of an Indian, while others say
they may be those of some person
who met with foul play. Coroner

covered under but two feet of

1t was decided last night by the

ent s. E. Shull at the high school, to

son who is at least fourteen years OF

perintendent Shull believes that any

system of sufficient scope IN which to
secure a very good fundamental
knowledge Of learning, and, perhaps,
create thirst for q more extensive
education. The hours Of the school,

lows: for girls and women, from
.7:15 o'clock to 9:15 o'clock; for
boys and men, from 7:3" O'Clock to

WHEN THE BOSS TURNED
BY Frank HI. Williams

Don Conway, boss Of the town
of Brampton, returned from a
European trip on the eve OF a
municipal election, and plunged
at once into the heat of the fight.
Personally" he told select
crown of the municipal league
party, 81 don't care who is elect
ed. I expect to live in Europe
hereafter, anyway. But here's the
point-you fellows did a lot for
me when / was in the game and
you expect me to stand by you
now. / don't blame you and this
is the reason I'm doing it-be-
cause think that Jim Wells, your
candidate for mayor, will make
| this better place for kids to live
in. That's the most important
thing before the country today
the making of good, clean cities
for the children to live in, SO they
can grow into strong, stalwart
men and women"
This talk made something of a
sensation among the municipal
league people.
what sort OF con Is Conway
handing out, anyway" asked Bill
Gardiner, who was supposed to
carry three wards in his hip pock-
ct. Conway never said anything
about the kids before-it was al
ways for the party that he was
working"
CAV, what difference does 1t
make what he says" questioned
Dave Eckert, $50 long as he works
for us? He can swing the city any
way he wants to, and after it's
over he can go and cool his heels
in the hot regions, for all / care. -
Although the municipal leag-
uers were puzzled by Conway's
stand, they accepted his services
gladly. The independent party,
headed by Sol Cook, had been

$4,000 And a Job

ALONG ISLAND chauffeur who has fallen heir
to $37 900 declines to quit his job sI'd die if I'd
stop work, !" he says 'Money shan't make me use
less"
1t is true that the man who stops work is likely
TO die. Anyway, he might just as well. Nature alb
hors the superduous, and soon cuts it off, To sit
down is to rust away
Nine people in ten, perhaps would allow sudden
acquisition of wealth to end their usefulness
Here is whose incentive to work is not the
animal need of subsistence, but the human inn
pulse to be of service to mankind
OF course, we can pooh-pooh and say we would
do just this chauffeur is DOING but the fact is that
when It is put up to us even in little things mighty
few of us make good.
This man is wise in recognizing that his great
est fortune lies not in his $37 OO0 but in the fact
that he has work to do and the heart to do it for its
own sake.

Primordial Instincts

SPEAKING ON BATTLESHIPS, Congress
William Kent says that the liking to fight is a
primordial instinct that has been largely eliminated
from the surface of our civilization.
The so-called primordial instincts of ours are
great things and guess that Kent is right in be-
ieving that surface has only been scratched as
to some of them.
Pretty early in his career man had to fight for
his food and life regular business and thus can
be explained his liking to fight and kill things But
he has at least other primordial instinct which
isn't very far below the surface of civilization
and which is hard to explain and that's his incina-
tion to gamble. 1t is in mighty all of regard
less of sex, color or condition of servitude.
Newspaper publishers will tell you that moth
ing takes well account of bloody prize
fight
Verify, some of Our fearful primordial instincts
are eliminated only from the surface of cvlza-
ton But let's keep grubbing to get out the very
roots of evils bred into way back in the unknown
past.

SOUTHERN JUDGE WHO EATS
PEPPERS HAS MANY FRIENDS

One day during political CAM
paign down in Macon, Ca, a man
yelled: "Hurrah for Judge Speer!"
A gang of fellows standing around
picked him up and carried him on
their shoulders to the nearest
thirst quenching emporium. where
drinks and toasts followed fast.
Just about the same time, a few
blocks away another man yelled
"Hurrah for Judge Speer!" When
the hospital ambulance had car
ried him away surgeons were busy
piecing him together again.
That's the way 1t Is In Georgia
about Judge Emory Speer, recent
ly referred to congress for i'm
parchment. They either love him
like heaven or hate him like
the other place.
Judge Speer has been on the
federal bench since 1885, when
President Arthur hoisted him up
from a federal attorneyship.
Judge Speer was born at Cullo-
den, Ca, Sept. 8, 1848, and en-
listed In the confederate army at
16. Besides being a federal dis
trict judge he is dean of the law
department of Mercer University.
Also he is Georgia's best orator.
HIS HOBBY is LECTURING ON
THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION.
His chief delights in private
life, so to speak, are said to be
watermelon and red peppers, sent
him as grateful tokens of esteem
by the moonshiners he has tried
and let off with nominal fines.

Atlanta is remarkably free from
graft l have not observed the suspi-

crookedness that are characteristic OF
so many cities
But these very shocking graft ex-
posures in so many of our cities have
done a far greater good than the mere
ousting Of crooks and punishment OF
criminals. They have dramatically
shown the people of those cities that
the real crime of their governments
was waste and mismanagement, and
not the tapping of the public till.

nicipal machinery is cumbersome, H.

Vows to Rewin His
Divorced Wife'S Love
Il Will Control Your Spirit or
Die Writes Senator Son
to Lucy Dugas.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 16-'Just so
surely as Ben Tillman had the force of
character to overthrow the old regime
of aristocrats in South Carolina, so
have l the strength Of mind to make
you love, honor and obey me-" is part
of a letter written by Benjamin r.
Tillman, Jr., to his divorced wife. Mrs.
Lucy Dugas. which appears in the pa
pers in q suit just filed by Mr.. Tillman
10 get possession of their children,
Douschka and Sarah. The plaintiff
is a son Of Senator Tillman and Mrs.
Dugas is a granddaughter of Governor
Pickens who was minister TO Russia
under President Buchanan
Throughout the letter Nj. Tillman
alludes to his former wife as member
of the bourbon class" and speaks Of
himself as of plebeian origin, but de-
clares that he will crush her proud spir-
il and compel her to love him. De-
Tending the senator's political course,
TO which the family of Mrs. Dugas was
bitterly antagonistic, MIR, Tillman says:
"Tillmanism comes to redeem South
Carolina from the atrophy that was
upon her when ruled by the cult from
which you came. You shall acknowl-
edge it,
You own Edgefield. your friends are
loyal, you are strong, you have the
anti Tillman press and you have the
supreme court with you. Hear me, lit
tie arlstocrat thoroughbred, they have
no terrors for me.
THE average man does not know
how the eagles fly or take their quarry.
You and l are lighting with a grim
ness that means much to both, high
above the clouds and in kind of ether
few will understand, but l will control
your spirit or die"
In concluding the letter, Mr. Tillman
repeatedly expresses his love for Mrs.
Dugas.
