JAIL DELIVERY
AT GEORGETOWN
Quitman County Site Scene of Near
Riot When Negro Cattle Thieves
Make Dash for Liberty.

ldhO DdSIh lOF AADCAtys
EUFAULA, Ala.-The village of
Georgetown, Ga, across the river
and the neighboring countryside, was
the scene of a near riot yesterday,
when four negro cattle thieves broke
from the Quitman county jail, tried
to shoot up the town and make good
their escape.
The four prisoners, Henry and
Marshall Reynolds, Will Davis and
Norman Dawson, were being taken
from the Jail to the well in the yard
when Davis struck Deputy Maddox,
grabbed his gun and followed the
other three through the Jail yard
gate, which had been eft open.
A posse was formed by the sheriff
and chase that lasted four hours
was begun, the Eufaula bloodhounds
being called into service. Dawson
was driven back into the Jail yard,
Henry Reynolds was captured in a
field by a farmer, r. j. Young, while
the other Reynolds and Davis were
trailed four hours by the pOssee and
dogs before being brought down by
Deputy Sheriff Maddox's gun. Both
were struck in the back, and mey die
from the wounds.
The plot was formed in a moment
when the prisoners saw the gate open
and three were out of the jail before
Davis attacked the sheriff. Several
persons narrowly escaped being shot
by Davis.

SOFT DRINK TAX BILL
is DESIGNED TO SUPPLY DEFICIT
If PROHIBITION BILL PASSES.
State Tax of $25 to $50, and
BOttIers 500 a Year.

ATLANTA-The soft drink tax
bill made it's appearance in the house
today, introduced by w. w. Starke,
of Jackson, chairman of the temper
ance committee. AS it is bill pro-
viding FOR the raising of revenue the
speaker was about to refer it to the
committee on ways and means when
immediate requests were made for it's
reference to the temperance commit
tee.
The temperance advocates are
seeking to use this bill to supply the
deficit in state revenue that will
come about as the result of the en-
actment of more stringent prohibition
legislation in the event the latter goes
through. Real prohibition will mean
the loss of $3.50, 900 in revenue to the
state, and it is claimed the soft drink
tax will make it up.
The bill provides that all dispens-
ers of soft drinks shall pay the state
an annual license taA of $25 in towns
of $500 and under and $50 in towns
of larger size; all bottlers of soft
drinks shall pay the state 500 a year
and all makers of soft drink syrups
shall pay ten cents gallon on syr-
ups, rs cents a gallon on tinctures
and so cents a gallon on extracts.
Failure to obtain the license from the
ordinary and pay the required tax is
made a misdemeanor.
Other Bills.
Lanier of Bulloch introduced a bill
to prohibit divorce until the parties
have been married three years; Fos-
ter Of Morgan introduced bill to
prohibit the manufacture, sale, CIV
ing away or lending of any pistol;
Dart Of Glynn a bill to increase the
salary of the game and fish commits
sfoner from $4,000 to $500 a year.

University of Oregon Is
Sound and Vigorous"

structors is too low, The salary scale
should be raised. Promotion should be
made more systematic.
Antagonism between the university
and the agricultural college has about
died out Now "thc enemy of one is
the enemy of both''. The heads of the
institutions have long been on cordial
relations, and all over the state the
old fight has been dropped Only those
poorly informed as to conditions still
cherish any old tradition of fear and
Jealousy.
The registrars department is singled
out for specific praise. Dr. Capen says
the work is the best he has ever seen,
and he has examined carefully several
score of such offices. The library, too,
is declared well organized and pro
gressively managed.
Entrance requirements are every
high" and are carefully and honestly
enforced
cit is probable that the school of
education alone has brought to the
state of Oregon returns in improved
educational standards, and in the pro-
motion of civic efficiency, which are
worth all that the university has ever
cost the state
The equipment of the university is,
on the whole, adequate to present work,
but several new buildings could be very
profitably used.
Graduate work should be developed,
but not too rapidly. The school of
commerce should give some elementary
courses. The commonwealth confer
ences are good. 1t was well to bring
the laws school to Eugene. Faculty
members have all the teaching work
they ought to carry. Some should be
relieved of overwhelming by a redis-
tribution of work.
The faculty has done surprisingly
large amount of research work. This
has not been sufficiently encouraged
by the institution The state has been
unapreciative of this line of work,
which attitude Dr.. Capen regards as
a grave mistake.
The board of higher curricula has
up to this time been a negative rather
than positive force; it has not been
able to conceive u constructive policy
of progress for the states educational
institutions.
'The spirit of the institution" says
the report "is excellent 1t ap
pears that there is clear demand fol
its present teaching activities.
1t is one of the state IS most important
instruments for the production of q
more intelligent and efficient democ
racy. &. It's faculty as a whole is alert
and capable As teaching insti
tuition it fills a field not otherwise
occupied, a field which promises to be
permanent and to expand, Tn con
clusion, the investigator would ike tC
emphasize his appreciation of the gen
eral soundness and vigor of the in
stitution. "

University of Oregon, Eugene, Nov.
6.-The University Of Oregon is a
"sound and vigorous" institution. Its
cost per student appears on the face
Of the figures to be very low in com
parison with institutions of like rank
in other states Its faculty is able,
honest, hard-working. remarkable for
the high proportion of higher degrees
they hold and for the large amount of
valuable research work which they
have done without encouragement from
state or financial assistance from the
administration The students are clean.
intelligent, and, for the most part, well
prepared.
These are some Of the conclusions
set forth at length under the authority
of the United States government in the
report Of DR.. =. p. Capen, specialist in
higher education Of the United States
Bureau of Education. DR.. Capen CON
Quoted an extensive survey of the uni.
versity in September, at the request
Of the president and regents, and has
embodied his findings in n report of
5000 words, which has Just been re-
ceivcd by the university regents, and
which will be published entire and is,
sued to the newspaper men of the state
and others who may be interested
Some changes are advocated by DR..
Capen. He tells the university that
while it ought not to attempt to start
complete school of home economics,
still "some training in the arts and
sciences relating to the home is the
right of every women who attends. It
is the states duty" he adds "to see
that this training is offered"
Other specific recommendations are:
The board of regents should share
some of its responsibilities with the
faculty.
The president ought to have an ad.
ministrative council of faculty members
To the deans should be given admin
istrative powers and duties.
The board of regents should meet
quarterly instead of annually. They
should get closer tothe university, and
endeavor to reach a broader conception
of its aims and opportunities. Tn the
past they have been too scrupulous in
not aiding the university more in times
of attack on its appropriations through
the referendum.
The extension division should be re-
organized, and arrangements should be
made for carrying on extension work
without drafting professors whose
time is already fully occupied. He
thinks extension work should not be
regarded as a spare-time activity.
Students should not be allowed to
elect studies at will The courses chos-

FAMOUS WOMAN, Her
BIRTHDAY and YOURS
October 3-Mne. campan.
BY MARY MARSHALL.

One Of the most celebrated of all
French educators was Madame Campan-
Jeanne Louise Henriette Genest-who was
born in Paris in 1752 Of an honorable
thought not wealthy, family. At the age
OF Is she was appointed reader to the
three daughters OF Louis XIV. and later
occupied the post of lady of the bedcham-
ber to Marie Antoinette. wife Of Louis
XVI. This position she held with honor
for nearly twenty years. and was with
the unfortunate Queen in 1872 when she
was attacked in the Tuil!eries by the en-
furiated Paris mob. Madame Campan
escaped with her life and managed to
evade the terror Of the revolutionists till
after the storm was over.
With the rise of Bonaparte she again
found favor with the party in power. and
opened school for noble young women
at st. Germaine, which was patronized by
the Emperor and the Empress Josephine.
Hortense. the daughter of Josephine by
her first husband. and two of the EN-
peror's sisters were among the attendants
OF this school. Later. when in 1906 Ma
poleon opened a school for the dau .hters
and sisters of officers of the legion Of
honor. he appointed her director. She
was by all means the woman in France
most fitted for such an enterprise
Madame Campan was a woman Of un-
usual energy and Of varied powers. which
she retained till late in life. She wrote
an account of her life with Marie An
toinette called Memoirs OF the Private
Life of Marie Antoinette," which is both
exceedingly well written and decidedly
original in treatment.
