DAILY PAPERS HAVE
GREAT DAY AHEAD
FOR THE SCHOOLS

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. z1.-The At
lanta public schools and high schools
are directing the attention of pupils
more and more to the daily newspa-
pcrs, and it is predicted by some ad-
vanced educators that before long the
daily newspaper will become one of
tie regular text books in every up to
date public school.
The reason is not far to seek, mas
much as there is as much history in
the newspaper every day as you can
hnd in a book. There are more big
issues pending, more tremendous
movements, both of war and peace,
than the world has ever known at one
time before, and as newspaper man
is quoted as saying, there will be more
news during 1916, and more history,
than in any one year since A. d. /.

Tries To Hang
Himself Before
Law Comes

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 21.-Did you
ever hear of a man trying to hang him
self in order to escape hanging? That's
what David Pruit did Sunday in the
Fulton county tower, and today extra
guards are watching him to prevent
him from carrying out himself the SEN
tence pronounced by the court.
Pruitt, who killed his wife, was
sentenced to be hanged on March 10,
still several weeks off, and Sunday he
got tired of waiting. So he cut up his
blanket and made rope out of it, and
made slip moose in one end. He was
well on the way toward carrying out
his project when deputy happened to
observe him.
Afterward he made a rush for the
cell door when it was being opened
and tried to kill himself by jumping
over the railing into the concrete
paved court several stories below, but
again he was stopped before he could
hurt himself.
I'D just as soon die today as any
time,' Pruit told the sheriff.
They have advised him to try to be
more patient.

TURKS ATTEMPT
TO REFORM FOR
FURTHER FIGHTS

LONDON, Feb. 21.-Turkish efforts
to reform scattered forces in Ar
nenia have been greatly complicated
by the rapid Russian advance follow
fng the fall of Erzerum. From the
Tiffis Russian Caucasus headquarters
comes a report that two Turkish army
corps on their way to relieve Erzerum
turned hack when it was learned the
fortress had been stormed. Assuming
this to be true, it now seews the Turks
in eastern Armenia have now lost their
last prospect of extricating themselves
from a perilous position.
Unofficial accounts of events in that
region report Russian forces arvancing
rapidly north and south towards Diar-
bekra and the Bagdad railway. In the
latter instance, efforts are apparently
being made to cut off the retreat of
Turkish troops operating along the
Black Sea coast in the direction Of
Constantinople.
Petrograd dispatches late this after
noon indicate definite results are anti
cipated from the north, where another
Russian force is moving toward Treb-

ATLANTA AWAITS
TURN IN DISPUTE
OF POLITICIANS
(BY CRANSTON WILLIAMS.)

! ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 21.-According
to well founded explanations vouched
for by prominent men and observers
in Georgia politics, Dombshell will
be thrown into the camp of Georgia
politics when the reply of people IN
yolved in the famous controversy with
DR.. G. W. Eichelberger, a prominent
prohibition leader and editor of the
Georgia Commonwealth, is given tc
the people.
The explanation of the conference
alleged to have been held with all the
details is in the hands of Georgia
newspaper men, but they have not ye;
seen fit to print the story. It is
likely that the time will be selected
after the next charge or reply from DR.
Fichelberger.
Atlanta is seething with gossip over
the situation. The contents of the re-
ply to the charges are not secret, as
they are being given the passing poll
tician in Atlanta with no promise to
secrecy.
BurweII i'm Atlanta.
William H. Burweil, speaker of the
Georgia house, is in Atlanta, and the
prospect of his candidacy for COVER
nor, is creating much talk in the cap
ital city.
People close to candidates already
announced attach much significance to
the controversy with Eichelberger. 1t
would not be surprising if his an
rouncement was made at any time.
CIay's appointment.
The people of the state generally
commended Cliff c. Clay, of Sumter
county, who was appointed assistant
commissioner of agriculture Saturday
10 fill the vacancy caused by the death
Of Dan Hughes.
Many friends of Mr.. Clay urged his
appointment, and it was made with the
least amount of ceremony possible. In
fact, it came as surprise to the cap
itaI and those persons in Georgia pol
iLics who are said to know" every
thing that is going on.
Mr.. Clay has assumed his new duties
and the routine of the agriculture de-
partment will continue without inter-
ruption.

censorship, but there were no indi-
cations here that the waves of politi-
