who now lives in the country neal
Salem, n. Y. He wrote:

full country wide contest
among the school children of the land
has just proved conclusively that our
boys and girls at least are fully capable
of clear, vigorous expression through
the printed word
With the purpose to stimulate in

servation among school children and
to interest them In the origin and de-
velopment of inventions that have be-

airy Committee of New York city re-
rently offered, through the public
schools of the United States, 2.100
prizes consisting of 100 FIVE dollar gold
pieces, 1000 Tiffany medals of rich
design and 1000 handsomely engraved
certificates Of merit for the best let

based upon the lately published book,
"a New Chapter In an Old Story"
which covers the romantic history of
the development of firearms and am

Prizes were offered In four classes:
Glass A for children ten to eleven years
of age: Glass B, twelve to thirteen;
Class G. fourteen to fifteen, and Glass
D, sixteen years of age and over.
There were three principal prizes in

Soon after the announcement of the

was presented to the libraries in schools
where pupils were to compete, the
prize letters began to pour into the
office of the committee. In all, more
than 10000 live, vivid messages were
received They came from such wide
opposites as the New York city boy
who rides to school in the subway and
from the wee girl in the interior Of
California "a winner) who had to go
40 miles to find n photographer" to
have the photo taken which is repro
duced in connection with this story.

South Carolina Governor Sends
Another Characteristic Mes
sage 10 the Legislature.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 3O.--Governor
Cole L. Blease today, in a message to
the legislature dealing with the paroles,
pardons and combinations issued to
convicts during his administration,
deals with campaign matters and the
Richmond "lynching" speech. Refer
ring to his Richmond speech, the gov
ernor says:
"The newspapers published with
great headlines and great glee the mis-
representations of speech that l made
in Richmond Va. Day after day they
carried articles copied from Yankee
hoodlums and little newspapers, and
Them when they were furnished with
numbers of papers and offered hun
dreds of kilograms and letters COM
mending the course Of the governor of
South Carolina, they absolutely failed
and refused to publish them"
The governor says that he was elect
ed last summer despite the opposition
OF an "unholy organization" which he
described as:
Many preachers, nearly all the
newspapers of the state; the corpora
tions-that is, the leading officials
thereof; the lawyers, almost in a body;
a large majority of the legislature,
nearly all the state officials; "a large
majority of the delegates to the state
convention in May; all the moneyed in
terests; a large majority of the COM
merCial travellers. commonly called
drummers;' some OF the women, pray
ing; some of the old line so-caIled re-
formers; some Of the old line so-called
conservatives: many of the Haskell
ties; the Cubans; the Spaniards and
the mixed breeds. a majority of the
state executive committee; a large ma
jority of the county executive commit
tees and all of the election machinery.

Problem, Say Prophets.

Members of the Atlanta real estate
colony today are considering the FEAST
bility of a plan to forward the improve
ment Of what Is hailed as the coming
Five Points" at the southern junction
Of Peachtree and West Peachtree
where Baker street interesects.
This plan contemplates cutting trIan-
gular strips off the Scott, Gramllng,
Goldsmith and Hopkins corners so as to
make a traffic opening either circular or
octagonal in shape. The city strip for
merry containing the Erslline fountain
would be obliterated and the line would
go Just south of the OLD Plaza hotel now
owned by Willis e. Raglan.
Baker street is 40 feet wide on the
west side of Peachtree and 3S to 40 on
the east. Peachtree is 33 feet wide at
the acute angle which it makes with
West Peachtree and 40 feet wide be
tween the southeast and southwest cor
ners Of Baker. West Peachtree is 40
feet wide where it intersects Peachtree
