SOME MORE MONEYLESS JOBS
SCHOOL OFFICIALS HIT BY LEG
ISLATIVE CARELESSNESS.
Educational Bill Provided for Their
Jobs, But Seems to Have Made no
Provision for Their Salaries.

Educational Bill Provided for Their
Jobs, But Seems to Have Made no
Provision for Their Salaries.
Some question has arisen as to
whether or not the White education
al bill, creating the positions of three
school supervisors. E. Land of
Dawson, NJ L. Duggan of Sparta, and
Miss Parrish of Athens-and state
school auditor, carried an appropria-
ton for their salaries.
The question arose for the first
time Thursday, and an investigation
of the law and facts is being made
with view of definitely determining
the truth. There is provision for the
expenses of these officials out of the
school fund, but grave doubt exists
as to whether or not they can legally
collect any of their $4,000 salary
until the legislature meets and recti-
fies the omission.
The last legislature created sew
eral Jobs, but did not apparently con-
Germ itself much about providing for
payment of salaries in such cases.
Not long after ]. E. Mercer was
named game warden by Governor
Smith he ran into snag when his
warrant for salary was turned down
on the ground that the act made no
provision for paying him. The at
torney general upheld that conten-
ton, so Warden Mercer gets no mon
ey until the legislature meets this
summer and makes an appropriation.
Before learning where he stood
the warden turned in some $4,000
arising from the sale of licenses. At
ter that, however, he RENTED no
more money to the state treasury.
but has close to $4,000 in Fitzger-
aid banks awaiting until the legisla-
ture comes through"
II. M. Stanley found he had landed
job with no pay attached to it when
ne went out and had the people elect
him commissioner of commerce and
labor. But he is plugging along and
expects the general assembly to make
1t all good this summer. He receives
a salary of $4,000, his assistant 81
500, stenographer $500 and there is
provision for SO for expenses.

A HOG CHOLERA CURE.
Farmer Gives Remedy Said to Have
Been Used With Great Success.


Been Used With Great Success.
For the benefit of those farmers of
Terrell county whose hogs are dying
with cholera The News reprints from
the Perry Home Journal the follow
ing remedy that has been used with
great success by F. M. Parker of
Houston county both as a preventive
and cure of the disease:
Arsenic, one-half pound; cape
aloes, one-haIf pound; blue vitriol,
one-fourth of a pound; black anti
mony, one ounce. Grind and mix
well the remedy before using.
The following are the directions
for using:
q. Sick hogs to be separated
from the well ones and placed
IN dry pens, with only five large ones
or eight small ones in each pen.
2. Feed nothing but dry food,
no water, only the slop containing
the remedy, until cured.
g. When hogs refuse to eat turn
them on their backs and then
with a long handled spoon put the
dry medicine down their threats.
4. Dose for large hogs: One
teaspoonful three times a day for
three days; then miss one day and
repeat amount until cured. Shoats
or pigs one-half the amount.
.. AS a preventive one tea
spoonful once a week will keep your
hogs in a healthy condition to take
on fat, I can place one well hog in
pen with 100 sick ones and this
remedy will keep him well.
sc. Let no other stock but hogs
have access to this remedy, as it is
to them deadly poison.
Or. Dodge adds that for many
years he sold this recipe for S., and
treated hogs at the rate of 81 per
head, paying the owner 10 cents per
pound for all that died after treat
ment began"

A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
A Friend Writes in Memory of Mrs.
S. r. Weston.

Strange it is that with the APP
proach of spring, when all nature is
aglow and bursting forth with new
life in which there is no suggestion
of death, life of young wife and
mother went out of this world to
dwell forever in immortal youth in
the land of endless love.
On March 13, 1912, angels gently
closed the life-bOOk of Myrtle Martin
Weston. In every chapter, though
brief and fair, was the record of her
life traced by the pen of love. AS a.
daughter She was devoted, a loving
wife and mother, an affectionate sis
ter and a true friend. Oh, how she
loathed to speak the farewell mes
sage to the dear ones she loved. pa
tiently willing to prolong the strug-
gle when the weary heart should
rest. God came to the rescue and
gently bid the weary heart to cease
throbbing. Then came deaths sting
that chilled dear hearts that would
have stayed her in her flight through
life's brief years.
Hear the soft winds sweetly signing?
They whisper that there is no dying.
But where golden sunbeams Green
A young heart lies wrapped in sleep.

WANTS GIRLS TO BE GIVEN
EQUAL CHANCE WITH BOYS
Mr. Beazey Opposes Action Recently Taken By Trustees
of the Third District Agricultural and Mechanical
College in Barring Girl Students

Advancing the argument that there
should be some school of the kin1
in the Third district where the girls
of the district may be educated in
industrial courses and such work as is
especially intended to fit them for
household occupations, Mr.. C. H. Beal
ley, of Leesburg, in a card to The
Times-Recorder opposes the barring
of girls from the Third District Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college as
was done recently through the action
of the board of trustees.
Mr. Beazleys card is as follows:
81 notice in the daily press that
they don't intend to let the girls be
educated at the district school. II
may be that the writer don't see ii
right, but it seems to him that there
ought to be some place where the
mothers of the future men of the Third
district can be trained in higher
curriculum than they can obtain N
the ordinary common school.

of the coming generation wouldn't i
seem well to teach the mothers o
posterity too? How large a proper

Meeting IN
BEHALF OF
RAILROAD
TO Be Held HERE TODAY
To Consider Proposed New
Road

A conference of the directors of the
Board of Trade and the public gener-
ally has been called by President Ell
lis to meet in his office at 10:3O
o'clock for the purpose of discussing
plans for raising the required amount
of capital stock to the Americus, Tiff
son and Atlantic railroad.
Mr.. John W. Grer, of Triton, repre-
senting the incorporators of the Amer
icus, Triton and Atlantic railroad, ar
rived in Americus yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of bringing this mat
ter before the people here. Mr.. Greer
was just from Mlltown, the southern
terminus of the proposed road, where
he spent most of last week working
among the people there, and he IS
elated over the showing made by the
Milltown people and the splendid pros
poets of the road.
On his way to Americus yesterday
he stopped over at Ashburn a few
hours and held a conference with a
few of the leading citizens of that town
and they gave him strong assurance
that Ashburn would raise her portion
of the capital stock when called on.
In fact the prospects of the Ameri-
Gus, Triton and Atlantic road have
begun to awaken the interest of the
people everywhere along the route
and some tiwns that were not origi-
nally included in the route are MAX
ing bids for the road to come their
way.
+ Oyertures are being made by War
wick for the road to go by that town
and they have assured the promoters
that they will put up any reasonable
amount of money if that route may be
selected.
And now comes Leesburg, making
overtures for the road. 1t is not quite
clear how Leesburg wants the line to
rnu, but the afct that she has taken
the matter to heart and is stirring
herself to get the road shows that the

John Lucas, COIOrGd, Careless
With Dynamite

John Lucas, a colored convict on
the Sumter chaingang, had one of his
hands so badly lacerated by explod-
ing nitroglycerine caps yesterday as
to render amputation necessary. The
negro is reported in a very serious
condition from the wound and shock,
and his recovery is somewhat doubt
full.
Lucas, with other convicts, was en-
gagged in blasting stumps on the
Americus-Andersonville road, and from
reports Of the affair did not exercise
the care expected. He had set a
charge of dynamite under a stump and
was preparing to light the fuse. In
stead of striking the patch upon some
ether object Lucas scratched it upon
the box of one hundred caps held in
his left hand. An explosion of the
caps resulted, and the hand of the un-
fortunate negro was terribly lacerat-
ed.
Lucas was brought to the city and
the mangled hand amputated. He i
