DEBT OF FIFTEEN CENTS BRINGS
COLORED BOYS TO BATTLE.

Though g portion of his skull about
one and one-half inches by two and
one-half inches has been removed, Hill
lard Lawson, IA year old negro, has
lived since Friday night at the negro
ward of the Cordele Sanitorium, and
has fair chance of recovery.
John Sledge, Jr., aged 10, negro
who struck the Lawson boy a terrific
blow with a bottle and fractured his
skull, remains at liberty. He evaded
the police who we're hot on his trail
Immediately after the crime and made
getaway out Of the city. The diff
Guilty occurred in the vicinity of the
union depot, and the wounded boy was
found lying unconscious on railroad
crossing a few minutes afterwards.
The difficulty grew out of a dispute
over fifteen cents which Lawson is
said to have owed the other negro for
a baseball bat.

SUMMER SCHOOL At
STATE UNIVERSITY
A Great Factor In Elementary School
Improvement in Georgia.

The Summer School for Teachers
has come to be one Of the greatest
of institutions in nearly every state
of the United States. With educa-
ton changing, new subjects coming
in, old methods being recast, even
the best prepared teachers feel the
need every two or three years Of the
broadening contacts and new points
of view obtained in our best summer
schools. In Georgia many teachers
have second and third grade license,
evidencing that the original prepare
ton has not been the best. The
University Summer School plans for
all such teachers or prospective
teachers, to extend and broaden the
scholarship of some, to bring others
up to standard, and to present to all
the best there is in modern methods
in education.
A Greater school.
This School for the 1916 session
will probably be the best OF its kind
in the United States. Not five per
cent of Georgia teachers who will go
to a summer school this year need
to go to Harvard, Columbia, Chicago.

will combine three institutions, the
State University, the State College OF

the service of the teachers. Other
teachers in Georgia have been called
in, and still others from many parts
Of the United States.

SIGNS Of PROSPERITY
IN COBB THIS FALL

Pardon the slang, dear reader. but
it looks like prosperity is going to
be all around here" this winter.
We began to notice it a few weeks
ago with the rising price of cotton
and we had our hope confirmed this
week when the National Bank Elk
aminer called for a statement of
the condition OF The First National
Bank.
The statement published this
week shows a net increase in de-
pCsits during the past year of $780,
274.32. This increase is more than
twenty per cent CT the deposits a
year ago and when it is further con-
sidered that the statements SHOWS
no money borrowed it is all the more
remarkable
Cotton is selling in Marietta to-
day for arounu eighty dollars bale
and seed from a bale will bring it
up to about one hundred dollars.
Corn is also selling at a good price
1t is also generally understood
that a large number of the farmers
have raised more cattle and hogs
this year than before and we feel
that generally we are going to have
a good winter.
