WOULD Be STATION BOSS
STEVENS AND CONNER BOTH AT
TER THE EXPERIMENT JOB.
Friends of Both Gentlemen Are IN
derstood to BE Actively BesIegmg
Members of the Board.

derstood to BE Actively Besieging
Members of the Board.
II is understood there is an inter
esting race in progress between Com
missioner of Agriculture J. J: Con-
ner and former Commissioner 0. B.
Stevens for the position of director
of the state experiment station near
Griffin.
The term Of Director Martin v
Calvin expires in July, and he has
announced that he will not be can
didare for reelection. While the
race is an extremely quiet one it is
said friends Of both aspirants are
actively besieging members OF the
hoard of trustees for the station and
the lineup is being framed. Mr..
Conner's term as commissioner OF
agriculture. for which he was ap-
nninted by Governor Brown, Will eX-
pire with the meeting of the leglsla-
ture in June.
A half dozen other prospective
candidates for this job have been
mentioned, but Uncle" lobe and
Commissioner Conner are actively
engaged in feeling out the members
Of the station board, which will do
the electing.
"T7ncle" lobe has one apparent
advantage over Commissioner Con-
ner The latter is chairman of the
committee appointed to nominate
new director, and in occupying this
place he is naturally somewhat en-
barrassed in his own candidacy. 1t
is predicted that if as result OF
sounding out the members of the
hoard he ascertains that he has a
good chance for the position of d.
rector Commissioner Conner will re-
sign as chairman of the nominating
committee and get on an equal basis
with Uncle lobe.
Another element figures in the Sc
lection of the new director and one
which may be disastrous to the can
didacies of both Uncle lobe and
Commissioner Conner. Several mem
bers of the board have announced
that they favor the election of sci
entifc man to head the experiment
station, and that they will look about
in the hopes of landing one before
they commit themselves to any of the
avowed candidates.
The committee which is to nomi-
nate a successor for Mr.. Calvin is
Commissioner Conner, chairman;
Chancellor David C. Barrow of the
University of Georgia, and DR.. L. G.
Hardman of Commerce.

.BLAKEY NOW AWAITS TRIAL
LINOTYPE OPERATOR HAS BEEN
INDICTED FOR MURDER.
In a Steel Cell He Has Little to Say
of the Charge to Which He
Must Answer.

AMERICUS, Cain a steel cell
in the county jail w. B. Blakey now
awaits trial on a charge of murder,
the Sumter county grand jury hav-
ing returned a true bill after an in
vestigation of his case.
When interviewed yesterday after
noon Blakey had little to say with
reference to his case, giving as his
reason that his attorneys had advised
him to remain silent upon this point.
He talked rather interestingly, how
ever, about his parentage and other
points of general interest.
Blakey's mother arrived Monday
from Marietta, where she spends part
of her time, to be present for some
time as the guest of her sons family.
His father is dead, having died sew
eral years ago. Missouri is Blakey's
native state, his family having come
to Abbeville, Ga, several years ago.
Next August will mark Blakey's
thirty-sacond birthday, so he is now
about thirty-one and half years old.
Dependent upon him are his wife
and five children, while his mother is
partly dependent, too. Relative to
the case all that Blakey would say is
that it is the first time that he has
ever been arrested. His case may
come up for trial at the present term
of court, OF il may be deferred.

OFFERS TO DIE IN THEIR PLACE
Mrs. Winn of Oregon Has the COur'
age of Her Convictions.

An Oregon woman who opposes
capital punishment has the courage
of her convictions. Mrs. c D. Wynne
of klamath Falls petitions Governor
West to postpone the execution OF
five condemned murderers for six
months that they may make their
peace with God If the governor can
not do this she offers to die in their
place if he will let them go free
If it were possible for Governor West
to comply with this request and let
the innocent suffer for the deeds OF
the guilty it would be rather joke
on Mrs. Wynne if the five men should
start out on fresh careers OF crime
as soon as they were released.

SNAP SHOTS FROM DAWSON WOMAN'S CLUB

Terse Comm tent and Suggestions on Local
Matters of Timely Interest.

Signifcant.-Oneo of the most sig
nificant signs of the times is the
movement to break down the bar
riers of the time-honored prudery
concerning questions of vital import
ance to the race. The Chicago board
of education plans to keep open fifty
of the city schools on certain even
ings for the purpose of instructing
parents in sex hygiene. The General
Federation of Women's Clubs has
planned to use its influence to get a
course of study on sex hygiene adopt
ed by the public schools.
To Clean Polished FlOOrs.-Save
the short ends of candles, melt in an
old tin and add an equal quantity of
kerosene oil. Have this mixture
slightly warm when ready to use,
moisten an old flannel cloth and wipe
off the floor. By applying this MKT
pre- once a week the floor is kept
bright and fresh looking. If you do
not happen to have candle ends cheap
candles can be purchased from your
groceryman, and half of a candle is
sufficient for a large room.

GIRL WAS CARRIED OFF
BY FLOATING PORPOISE
Playful Inhabitant of Deep Fright
ened Young Woman Into Mysteries.

A Los Angeles dispatch to the
New York World says: Miss Caro-
line Kimball of Chicago believes in
sea serpents since this morning,
when she tainted in the surf after
being carried several feet on the
back of a large playful porpoise.
After the regaining of conscious
ness and the passing of the Mysteries
Miss Kimball declared that never
again would she attempt surf bath
ing.
When a large school or porpoises
came rolling in Miss Kimball, not
being quite sure about the intentions
of the intruders, started for the
beach. One of the largest of the
fish dived near her. She jumped in
the direct path of the porpoise.
which carried her along on its back
a short distance. She screamed and
then tainted.

SHOOK HER VOICE BACK.
Speech of School Marin Is Restored
in Unusual WAY.

A pretty Rhode Island school
teacher who lost her voice seven
months ago had it restored by means
of a sound shaking. Hospital ply
sicians put her under the influence
of ether and then shook her until her
screams were heard all over the
building. When she recovered from
the effects of the anaesthetic she
could talk as well as ever. Perhaps
the same course of treatment with
out the anaesthetic would prove etfi-
cacious in the case of some females
who talk too much.

Taft made direct reply In a speech
at mass meeting in the Coliseum
to the recall OF judges and of court
decisions advocated by Colonel
Roosevelt in his Columbus speech
Although Mr. Taft mentioned no
names, his references were plain.
Mr. Taft's speech was cheered by the
business men of Toledo who attended
the mass meeting.
When the president arrived In To
ledo he was escorted to the Com
merce club, where he shook hands
with several hundred business men.
En- route to Toledo Mr.. Taft made
several platform speeches, at ALI
ance, Orryille, Canton, Mansfield and
Tiffin. At Mansfield and Tifiln Mr..
Taft referred to the action Of the
senate In amending and practically
emasculating the arbitration treaties
with Great Britain and France. The

was not sure that II is worth while
to resubmit the amended conventions
to the foreign governments. He add
ed. however. that he felt that the
cause of arbitration OF international
disputes was Just, and he declared
that the movement would be contin-
ued. AT Tifnn he made similar re-
marks.
Mr.. Taft left Toledo early this
