CHEATHAR ORDERS ELECTION
WILL VOTE ON REPEAL OF To-
CAL SCHOOL TAX JUNE 18TH.
Ordinary Says 1t Will Require Two
Thirds of Those Voting to Repeal
the Law for Taxation.

Ordinary Says 1t Will Require Two
Thirds of Those Voting to Repeal
the Law for Taxation.
Ordinary w. B. Cheatham pub
fishes his proclamation in this issue
of The News fixing Wednesday, June
18th, as the date of the election at
which will be submitted to those
qualified to vote the question of the
repeal of local taxation for the
schools of Terrell county.
The petition which was presented
to Judge Cheatham asking that an
election be called contains the names
of about 400 voters, which is more
than the number necessary to have
the election called. Judge Cheat
ham holds that in order to repeal the
tax two-thirds of those voting on
June 18th must cast their ballots
against the tax, the same as was nee
essary to carry the tax when it was
adopted by the county.
The polls will be opened at each
of the voting precincts of the county,
including the court house, where
those citizens of the Town district
who do not reside in Dawson will
cast their ballots Although many of
them have large property interests
in the country that are taxed for the
benefit of the country schools voters
who reside in the corporate limits of
Dawson will not vote in the election,
as the city is not part of the coun-
ty school system, but has it's own
system that is operated under spe-
cial law and is supported by taxation
on town property.

CHAMBLIssToN CHAT.
School Children Enjoy an Old FASH
ion Candy Pulling.

Our school, which was under the
management of Miss Sonora Glider,
closed a few days ago. Miss Glider
gave the children an old-fashion can
dy pulling, which was enjoyed by all.
The school has been a great success.
and the next term will find Miss Gill
der in charge, if she so desires.
We had a pretty week just past,
and the farmers around Chambliss-
ton hustled some. The wet weather
left a lot of grass, but few more
sunny days will find the farmers in
fairly good shape for a crop. Indeed,
we have an average prospect for our
section, and all ought to feel thank
full.
We have some thick corn patches
this year, but instead of putting them
in front, as we did last year, we
have planted them in the rear, so
if they burn up they can't be seen
so good.

DISTRICT SCHOOL BARS GIRLS
NO CO-EDUCATION IN AGRICULT-

BY Unanimous Vote Trustees Order
Doors Closed to Women. Several
in Attendance This Spring.
Co-education of the sexes received
it's death knell in the Third District
Agricultural and Mechanical School,
located near Americas, in the action
of the board of trustees assembled
last Saturday in annual meeting.
Following considerable discussion of
the subject the trustees by unani-
nous vote ordered the doors of the
institution closed to young women
after then next scholastic year.
Several trustees favored immedi-
ate action in the premises, but there
being six young women in the gradu
ating calss of 1913 it was agreed to
extend the exclusion ukase and per-
nit them to complete their course
and receive diplomas. Other girl
students now attending the institu-
ton will not be permitted to resume
their studies after next session.
In the opinion of some of the trus-
tees the admission of women to the
college was deemed Illegal, as the
Legislative act creating the district
agricultural schools did not, they
say, contemplate the admission of
women students. The Third district
college is the first one taking this
decisive step opposing co-education,
as in all other district colleges in
Georgia young women students are
admitted as they have been in this
college heretofore. There are 81 fe-
male and 10 male pupils attend
ing the institution. The college
closed Monday with commencement
exercises, twelve graduates, includ-
ing two young women, receiving di-
plOmas.

FRAUD PAINT

The worst mistake one is likely TO
make in painting is wrong paint; II
is easy to make this year when paint
is so high.
We all say ours is the best"
and there are 1000 of us. One is
hest: but a dozen are so near on a
level that nobody knows, for sure,
that his is the one.
The worst paints are worst mars
they know that they are, put on a
bold face, and brazen it out.
Their one true argument IS low
price; but low-price paint is always,
must be. a fraud; it is made to cheat
cheatable people. DbEOE.

nomic, scientific and political aspects or the
opium problem, not only as existing In tne
Far East but throughout the world. Inc out
come of the gathering was the unanimous
adoption of a series Of recommendations IN
which the delegates and experts assembled
strongly urged that their respective countries
take action in three matters, namely an
overhauling by each nation of its own regu-
lations with reference to the opium traf1c;
the adoption of measures for the suppression
of opium smoking, and, finally, the enforce
ment of restrictions upon the manufacture
and sale of morphine.
The experts of the different nations having
agreed upon the measures that ought to be
taken to curb the evil, it was up to the United
States, she having inaugurated the project,
to make the next move in the matter. This
she did with no loss Of time. Our officials
wrote to the various powers suggesting that
they get together and take action on the
recommendations that had come from Shang-

hal In other words, 1t was suggested that as
a seo,el to the earlier effort there should
now he international cooperation for the piac-
ing Of the production and traffic In opium uh-
der international law.
The elimination Of the long fight Is now In
sight, An international conference was nelo
RECENTLY. at The Hague, the capital Oh the
Netherlands, to arrange for measures mat

Of the men who attended the Shanghai con-
ference were appointed by their respective
governments to represent them at Inc hague'

foremost Of the regulations agreed upon
arc those for uniform national laws and regu-
Iotions to control the production, manufacture
and distribution Of opium and Its derivatives,
Almost as important will be the regulation
hv the universal postal union of the transmits
sion Of opium through the mails. Going yet
further in the direction Of complete control
will be the restrictions that are to be placed
upon the cultivation of the poppy, from which
opium is derived, and limiting the number oil
ports through which the drug may be shipped
by opium-producing countries. There was
adopted also uniform marks Of identification
for packages containing opium in interna'
tional transit.
The nations that are interested In THIS
worldwide crusade and were represented at
the conference include the United States,
China. Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy,
Japan, The Netherlands, Persia, Portugal, Rus

notably Austria-Hungary were not directly
represented because they are not much affect
ed by the opium evil, but they have given as
surance that they will abide by the regula-
lions which have been agreed upon by the
conference. When the international confer

further, report the wisest measures for better
ing the situation.
. 1t required a year and a half of letter writ
ing. back and forth, before the governments
concerned could be induced to meet each
other on a common basis. In explanation OF
this reluctance 1t may be pointed out that a
number OF the countries, notably Great Britain,
and her colonies, France, Holland and Siam.
derive large revenues from the opium traffic,
and In some instances opium production
is a government monopoly. Should the
traffic in opium be virtually abolished, as
1t is likely to be III time, these various powers
stand to lose revenue to the enormous aggre-
gate of one hundred million dollars a year.
No wonder they hesitated. However, in the
end the common cause of humanity trl-
umphed and It was arranged that an interna-
tional opium commission should be created.

There are certain men who feel a
sense of proprietorship as soon as they
become engaged. Perhaps this is the
right thing, but now and then there is
a girl who objects to it. 1t was so In
the case of Miss Dora Thurston.
Frank Wells had scarcely secured an
ayowal from her that he was loved in
return when he heaved a long sigh
Of relief and said:
"And now, Of course, that fellow
Wakefield will get a hint that he need
not call here any more?"
But why?" was asked.
And you won't have that Burton

"Mr. Burton never dangled."
And that cad of a Graham will be
