When Mrs w. r. Ramsay, So Foun-

Husband and Father
At War Over Quilts.

ROME, GA, July 2S.-Discussion
over the ownership of a few quilts has
brought bad blood between ]. S. Cadle

Cooley says he fears Cadle and has
sworn out a peace warrant for him.
Colley married Cables sixteen year
old daughter last June. All went well
with the newly weds until the irate
father of the girl learned that the
young bride had moved some quilts
from his home. He took out a posses
sorry warrant for the spreads and SO
angered Mr.. and Mrs. Colley that they
proceeded to tell all knew about Cadle.
Cadle claims he wants the quilts back
because his wife, before she died, made
them and worked on them in the wee
small hours. Mrs. Colley suspected
that her father would do bodily harm

EDUCATE
FIGHT ON
Hoke Smith Adherents in Sem
ate Oppose Confirmation of
Governors Appointees.

Governor Browns appointments to
the state board of education, sent to
the senate for confirmation today, prob
ably will cause a stiff political battle.
The name of DIR. Jere NJ. Pound. pres
ident of the Athens Normal school, as
predicted exclusively in The Georgian,
was not sent to the senate by the chief
executive. G. R. Glenn, president of
the North Georgia Agricultural college
at Dahlonega, it is understood, has been
named by Governor Brown in his stead.
The other members of the present
board, two named by Hoke smith,.
f. Woofter. of Athens, and j. c. Lang
ston, of Sylvania-were renominated,
and Walter steed, an appointee of Gov
ernor Brown, was renamed.
Fight by Smith Men Seen.
Deferring consideration of the nom
nations lends color to the rumors cur
rent that a fight is to be made by Hoke
Smith adherents in the senate to keep
the former governors appointees in
their places
This is to be made on the legal point
that the Smith appointments were real
vacancies, and not ad interim appoint
ments under the meaning of She word
vacancy as defined by the state SUI
preme court in deciding the West
shackleford controversy over the city
judgeship in Athens.
1t will be held that Governor Brown
is required by law to furnish the sen
ate with a transcript of the minutes of
the executive office, so that the Smith
appointments may be affirmed or dis
approved. This win be met with seri-
Gus opposition from the Brown forces.
Other Appointments In.
This law on the subject is found in
the first section of the educational
statutes:
Should a vacancy occur at any
time on the board it shall be filled
by the governor, provided that the
nomination of the governor for
membership of the board shall be
subject to confirmation by the SEN
ate, and provided, further that an
appointment made when the senate
is not in session shall be effective
until the legislature convenes and
acts on the appointment
Several other appointments in which
there are no contests went to the SEN
ate, but members Of the upper house
and the governor declined to make the
nominations public.

the trial if he had TO be brought on a
cot This was followed by a statement
from relatives that it might be impos-
sible on account Of his weakened con-
dition. Now il seems assured that he
will be in court Grace will not be all
lowed to testify That has been settled
definitely. Lawyers for the defense and
the state have carefully studied the
criminal code of Georgia, and even car
ried the matter to Judge l.. S. Roam,
who is to preside at the hearing. He
announced most positively that though
Grace may be in the court room he will
not be allowed to open his mouth to the
jury or offer any evidence whatever.
The reason for his being summoned
is not clear. except that he figures. with
the state, as a prosecutor.
Grace is but one of a number of
persons, some of them prominent So
cially, summoned by the state. Many
relatives have been ordered to come.
Others are neighbors Servants, the

Mrs. Daisy Grace summoned to
court next Monday to face a charge
Of attempt to kill. is more worried over
the loss of her pet dog, Mig, than the
ordeal before her, she said today. Mig
has been missing for several days and
she can not find him
Mig, a big black Newfoundland, was
adopted by Attorney James A. Branch
when Mrs Grace was arrested and her
husbank taken to the hospital, but
when Mrs. Grace gave bond and made
a home with Mrs Louise Wilson in
West End, Mig once more became the
companion of the accused woman and
proved that dog is just as faithful in
adversely as in prosperity. But he
strayed away a few days ago, and
though former neighbors of the Graces
saw him in the yard Of the West EleV-
enth street home where the shooting
occurred. he disappeared from the

This bill has been under considera-

Couldn t Keep

The recall of Charrey Hempnf1I haW
come because the former big league
star could not keep his players in line.
An unquestioned marvel at playing
ball, a great tactician, a man who I'M
derstands the game as few living men
do, he still was unable to make his club
play bah. And that finished him.
At the end of the last road trip Man
ager Hemphill had a session with the
directors, st which time the law was
laid down. They told him that he
would have to keep himself and the
club in line or drop out for somebody
who could.
His efforts on this trip were as dis
astrous as on the previous one. In
Montgomery the situation became in
tolerable. The team ran entirely wild
and something had to be done. This
something was the wire to Hemphill to
report in Atlanta at once.
1t is certainty that Hemphill will
not be retained with the club as a play
er. Grand performer though he is, he
has not exerted an influence that was
for the best, and he will unquestionably
