mother, Sallie Bryson, the 14-year-
old Jackson county girl, who plead
guilty to murder in the second de-
gree recently in connection with the
crime, took the stand as the States
chief witness against her father to-
day. The little girl declared that
about two weeks precious to her
awful deed, Mr.. Bryson and her
mother had "row" about another
mother, and that shortly after that,
Bryson told her (Sallie) that her
mother was going to whip her, and
advised her to kill her mother if
the mother used a whip.
The little girl said her father load =

placed it where she could get it
quickly. She said that Bryson
threatened her with death unless she
killed her mother and that finally.
fearing that her father would keep
his word, and kill her, she took the
shotgun and shot her mother.
On cross examination the little
girl said she had visited several rel
atives between the time her father
told her to kill her mother and the
time when the killing took place
and had not told any of them about

The Atlanta Constitution asks:
rs it twelve o'clock when the
clock strikes the first time or

This interesting discussion caus-
ed remarkable legal dispute in the
superior court of Fulton county
about twenty years ago when the
late Judge Marshall j. Clarke was

By a court order certain paper

SCHWAB ON COLLEGE MEN
Training Helps il They Realize They
Have Not Learned Everything.

Training Helps III They Realize They
Have Not Learned Everything.
Charles M. Schwab of Bethlehem
steel fame has written an article for
the November American Magazine in
which he tells some of his opinions
of college graduates. He says:
"The college man who thinks that
his greater learning gives him the
privilege of working less hard than
the man without such an education is
going to wake up in disaster. I re-
gret that some college men enter in
dustry with an inflated notion OF
their own value. They want to cap
itaiize at once their education, and
the time they spent getting it. They
feel 1t is unfair to begin at the bot
tom, on the same basis with boy
of II or Is who has never been to
college.
"a college man, entering industry,
is worth no more TO his employer
than a common school or high school
boy. unless he happens to be taking
up some position in which higher ed
ucation is directly applied. Even
then he has to adjust himself
Neither knowledge Of the classics nor
mathematical proficiency can be con-
verted overnight into marketable
commodity.
Higher education has its chance
later. when the college boy has mas
tered all the minor details of the
business. Then, if he went to col
lege with serious purposes, and
studied hard and Systematically, he
has the advantage Of thoroughly
trained mind to tackle larger prob
lens. mind which should be broad
er and more flexible because of its
greater powers of Imagination and
logical reasoning"
