The Republican Convention Call.

The Republican Convention Call.
The promulgation of the formal
call for the Republican national con-
vention, which Is to meet in Chicago,
June Z, next, is attracting attention
to the revised delegate apportion-

By this apportionment the total num-

convention to restore them to full
rights and privileges.
The noteworthy thing about this
call is that it Is the first and only
substantial step made by any politi-

Republican innovation outdoes the

Attention is also being called to
the fact that the Republican call is
a broad invitation not only to Re-

Affiliations who believe in the prlnci-

THE SHAVER CASE. II note
with much interest The Forum arti-
Gle written by DR. Miller.
This is not written as an answer
to the article signed by DR. Miller,
who was a witness on behalf of DR..
Shaver, but in order that you may
have the true facts relative to the
case tried and the other indictments
voted against DR.. Shaver.
This case was tried by a jury and
the defendant was represented by
three attorneys, all of whom adj
dressed the jury in her behalf.
Lillian GevencO, as it appeared
from the testimony, was a young girl
of about II, who had shortly before
been married to a young man en-
plOyed as a peddIeT or coal teamster.
Her husband appeared in court in
the clothes which he wears when
occupied in earning a living. He tes-
titled under oath Of the facts and
circumstances concerning the death
of his wife from an illegal operation.
Lillian Gevenco, before her death,
made a dying statement, and in this
statement stated the circumstances
and cause of her death from an lille
gal and criminal operation. This
statement was signed and witnessed
upon her deathbed.
Numerous witnesses testified with
regard to the condition of the pa
tent prior and up to the. time of her
death.
What I am particularly anxious to
convey to you is this: That notwith-
standing so serious a charge, with
evidence so overwhelming on behalf
of the state, the defendant, DR..
Shaver, did not take the stand and
deny one single word which was

.YEOMANS AND DORIS
URGE NEW SCHOOL LAW
TERRELL COUNTY REPRESENT
ALIVE WANTS COMPULSORY
EDUCATION IN GEORGIA.

Representative M. J. Yeomans, OF
Terrell county, and Representative
Doris, of Crisp county, have intro
duced in the legislature bill to make
attendance upon the public schools
of the state compulsory.
While there are numerous details
to the measure the most salient feat
ures are:
Parents, guardians or other per-
sons in charge of any child over 8
and under Ia years of age are re-
quired to send the child to school
for 16 weeks in each year, beginning
the first week of the term, unless the
child is being taught at home by a
competent teacher, or is attending a
private school where the same courses
are taught as are taught in the pub
lie schools. The county superintend-
emit or board of education of any To-
cal system can excuse child from
attending school whose mental or
physical condition is such as renders
attendance impracticable. a child
living over two and one-half miles
from a school may be excused from
attending, and any child under IA
years of age, having completed the
fifth grade, may be excused.

THOUSANDS CELEBRATE
THE FOURTH IN DAWSON
ONE OF LARGEST CROWDS EVER
SEEN HERE ENJOYED THE
EVENTS OF THE DAY.

The grand old fourth was big day
in Dawson. Thousands of visitors
began focking to the city early in
the morning and streams of humanity
continued to pour in until the streets
were thronged with happy sea of
humanity bent on celebrating the
birthday of the nation in a patriotic
and pleasant manner. People from
six or seven counties were here, and
it is conservatively estimated that the
number of visitors were no less than
five thousand.
The first entertainment offered the
visitors was ball game between
Dawson and Montezuma, which was
witnessed by one of the largest
crowds ever seen in the ball park, af-
ter which preparedness" parade
was formed down town by the chill
dren and others, which headed to-
wards the public school building,
where the school auditorium was
packed to hear the address of DR.. w.
L. Pickard, president of Mercer Uni
versity, on patriotic Citizenship"
The address was able, thoughtful,
earnest, and created profound i'm
preston. After the address a boun-
tiful barbecue and picnic dinner was
spread under the inviting shade of
the oaks in the public school play
ground. There were 81 carcasses
barbecued, and it was estimated that
this alone was sufficient to supply
5000 visitors, besides the numberless
baskets of picnic goodies for which
the people of Terrell county are not
ed. There was more than enough
dinner to feed the immense crowd
present, and if anyone went home
! hungry it was their own fault.
In the afternoon the second game
of ball between Dawson and Monte
yuma was called at 4 o'clock.
The credit for the conception and
success of the countrywide patriotic
celebration of the national holiday
is due to the ladies of Dawson, who
materialized the plans for the affair,
and the good spirit and fine fellow
ship that was demonstrated by the
visitors and the visited fully warrant
ed the trouble and expense of the
occasion.
