Mindful of the instructions of the

State School Pupils Want to
Talk by Signs. Not by the
Lip Method.

Isolated by the Gates of Silence, and
yearning for a more intimate kinship
with their more fortunate brethren, the
deaf and dumb of Georgia today
planned a touching appeal to the state
Legislature to be relieved of the loneli-
ness they say surrounds them in the
home at Cave Spring.
At the same time they want to talk
to each other in the way they think is
easiest-by signs-rather than the liz
system, which has the weight Of ex-
pert opinion behind it.
Whatever may be said of the lip
system, and it is being adopted largely
throughout the country, the deaf mutes
who oppose it showed rather patheti-
cally at their convention in the Y. NJ
C. A. here that the sign method has
eloquence and moving power to com

No Demosthenes ever impressed
more keenly his varying emotions on
his auditor than did the speakers at
this convention as with eloquent and
fervid gestures they pleaded silently for
their cause
They instructed president Irby
Marchman. of Savannah to go before
the legislature and ask that the insti-
tute be moved from Cave Spring to
Macon and that lip reading be droppel
for the old fashioned sign system.
I'VE want chance to see some
thing of this outside world and we
want to be taught the method OF com
munication that we think practicable
is what the speaker is saving a deaf
mute wrote out on a slip of paper and
handed to The Georgian reporter
only grown folk and very smart
ones can ever learn 10 read the lips
and little children never learn it for a
long time" was the next message that
came from the silent world. The man
who wrote the message was George
Brown, of Atlanta.
One Of the speakers remarks
brought forth today the following de-
Tense of the school from the president
of its board Of trustees. W, j. Griffin, at
Rome. He said:
There is absolutely nothing to what
the convention said The board OF
trustees Is certain that the teaching Of
lip expressions is the best system and
there is no indication that We will do
away with it.

Came to Diplaoe
Another Stenographer

He was to dispIaee another stenog-
rapher whom Manager J. P. Delaney
had fired because he was given to quar-
reling and consorted with a brother
who had just been released from a term
in Jail. Meador seemed at first ire
mendously pleased with his job, partic-
ularly as he had been given $40 more
for his services than the other man
got or that he himself had asked.
To teach him the duties of the posi-
ton. Delaney put him under instruc-
tons of the discharged man until the
latter should leave at the end of the
week.
He said today that the two worked
together for several hours and that
suddenly Meador came over to his desk
from the other man looking nervous
and frightened.
He said nothing of any trouble, how
ever, and only requested that he be al
lowed to go out to lunch at once, though
it was not the hour, because he had
suddenly become hungry. Mr.. Hender-
son, Of the office force, took him to a
restaurant. where he seemed nervous
and distraught A little later he said
he would go over to the Y NJ. c. A..
building for little time. but would be
back at his desk Wednesday morning.
He never returned.
Next morning the discharged man
came back to work and, going in to Mr.
Delaney, inquired insolently:
We'll, where's your little friend from
Chattanooga Guess he may not come
around today"
Delaney became anxious on the In
slant, but he was also irate. He told
the discharged man to get his money
and leave the office without a minutes
loss of time. Later he learned that he
from the door and that other employees
had heard him talking loudly to him in
the hallway.
The firm had the city searched from
one end to the other for the lad from
Wednesday until today. They were still
searching when there came to them a
telegram from the boys friends in
Chattanooga asking them for particu-
lars of the suicide. Then they learned
that all the time he had been missing
Meador had been living at the Williams
house. The clerk said he looked to
be upon the point of nervous prostra-
ton and would leap into the air as
though a bullet had been fired at him
when any one spoke. Much Of the time
through the week, the clerk said, the
boy was in his room behind a locked
door, and when he ate his meals it was
as though he could not down the fear
that some one was going to do him in
jury
Last night when he went to his room
in the Williams house, Clerk Bentley
says he looked more frightened than
ever When his groans were heard ear
ly this morning attaches of the house
ran to his room and found him with
ing in agony on the floor. He was be-
yond medical aid and did not regain
consciousness before he died in Grady
hospital.

afternoon and the Jury found that

American Breaks
Olympic Record.

Donald F. Linnincott, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, hung up
new record for the 100 meters in
the sixteenth heat, when he ran
the distance in the marvellous time
of 10 3-5 seconds. Lippincott was
brought to Stockholm upon the
supplemental list of American
runners. Applegarth. of England
ran second to Lippincott.
Lemming. of Sweden. broke the
Olympic record for the iavelin,
hurting the spear 1913 feet (60.64
meters). The old mark was 17s feet
10 1-2 inches made by Lemming in
London four years ago.
Jennings victory gave the first
score of the day to Sweden, and
there was a big demonstration
when the Flemish flag was run up.
One Of the regulations of the games
is that any big team shall be pro-
claimed by the raising of that ma
tons flag. Saarasto, Of Finland,
was second. with throw of 1856
meters, and Kovais, of Hungary,
third, with $3.50 meters.
