For Pilot Readers.

One of the many attractions OF the

children, conducted each morning at
one Of the school buildings by Miss
Maud Stevens of Chicago. Miss Stew
ems has repertoire of eighty stories

dren about her for six mornings, a
goodly crowd going TO hear her every
time. A number of colder children
were also interested listeners each
morning. She is a small, attractive
little person with a charming person
atty and seems especially adapted to
the role of story teller. Children
from four to fourteen listened spell
bound to fairy tales, legends, fables
and tales Of Indian, and foil, lore
which were simply but wonderfully
told, with apparently little effort to
hold the attention of the young audi
tors. Should Miss Stevens visit our
city again she will be heartily well
coined by Young and old Miss Stew

Americans in the Cumbre tunnel nave

soldiers of General villa.
According to couriers who arrived

The bandits were captured while they
were fleeing to the American border,
hoping to find refuge in the United
States from the closely pressing bands

overtaken, however, at Espia, twenty
miles southeast OF Dog Springs.
The couriers who arrived here to-
day said that as Villas orders called
for the immediate, execution of all
bandits, the prisoners were lined up

and shot to death.
When the news Of the death OF his
followers was taken to Castillo he

PROFESSIONALLY. we are "in for 1t"

year Of grace!
The political outlook Is altogether
as stormy as he most strenuous
could ashland all Georgians ask in
that regard, as a rule. Is that some
body kick the lid entirely off now

Undoubtedly, there will be grand,
gloomy and peculiar goings-on from
Rabun Gap TO Tybee Light-which Is
the way Cracker State politicians In
variably state the case, when they
know there is rough sailing ahead
for the entire outfit. pro and con.
OF first importance, Of course, Is
the forthcoming Senatorial appoint
ment, to be made by the Governor to
provide an Immediate and temporary
successor to Senator Bacon.
What the Governor has in mind as
to that, nobody 0ncluding tho Gov

He declines-and rightly. of course
absolutely to discuss the Senatorial
succession in advance OF Senator Ba-
cons funeral. and hardly has had
time since.

succeeding himself, necessarily his

before this matter may be "doped
out" with any degree of certainty. For
the moment, speculation may as well
run riot-and will-even If only for
the fun of the thing.
lust now, the Governor OF Georgia
Is keeping his own counsel-strictly.
And who wishing him well and being
willing to admit that he Is entitled
TO untangle the present problem In
his own way-his being the respon-
sibility-will deny that he is fully en-
titled to keep his counsel for the mo-
ment just that way?
In Georgia the people. mostly poll
iticlans want what they want when
they want it-but they get what they
want when they get It, unless some
body beats them to 1t, which doesn't
