ACTION WAS POSTPONED
POLLARD STOICALLY
AWAITING His FATE

When the shades of this Sabbath
sun will have set this afternoon, Ash
ley Pollard, convicted murderer, now
languishing in the condemned cell in
the Glynn county JAIL will nave seen
his last Sunday come and go. Pollard,
lit will be remembered was convicted
of murder in Glynn superior court
about IL months ago, and the case ran
the gamut of the appellate courts only
to be returned finally with his fate
sealed. No power can save him, un-
less it be an act of executive clem-
ency, which is seldom resorted to with
out some sort of recommendation from
the priosn commission.
The condemned man was sentenced
by Judge Thomas to be executed on
Friday March 10, and in all human
possibilities that sentence will be car
ried out
A News representative dropped in
on Pollard at the Jail yesterday and
found him in remarkably good humor,
under the decidedly adverse circum-
stances. Tall, gaunt and unkempt, he
shows well the signs of long incarcer-
alton and while bearing up bravely un-
der the circumstances yet he displays
the fact that he has given rather Sc
rious and rather philosophic thought
to the awful fate which the state
of Georgia will exact of him on next
Friday.

at you from rather serious though
frank eyes, and talks very slowly, in
fact he does not talk at all unless he
is forced to.
Has Made His Peace.
Pollard has not been neglected by
the clergy OF the city, not only OF his
own race, but by others, and evidently
he has been drilled into believing that
it is right and proper that he Nhould
pay the penalty of the crime he has
committed. When asked by the re-
porter if he realized fully what it all
meant, he replied in a dreamy sort of
way that he did and that he did not.
He said that he would like to enjoy
the usual tenure of life, but that the
Judge and jury had tried him; had ev-
identity believed him guilty, and that
when he looked backward and thought
of it all. the whole situation to him
appeared to be as if he had resigned
himself into his Masters keeping, and
that he was quite ready and willing to
go. In fact, when asked the direct
question, Pollard, do you know that
you will be dead next Friday this
timer he replied:
''Yessir, tell you just how l feels;
when thinks of this thing and it runs
through my mind, it kinder tickles me;
I feels like it's my time to go and it
will be done over with"
Pollard is a negro of some little in
telligence, and it was observed that he
had not only Bible and several mag
azines in his cell but he also had a

copy of The News of yesterday, all OF
which he seemed to have been reading
right along. When asked if his con.
science worried him or if, in the mid.
night hours. when he should be wrap
ped in slumbers, if his coming fate dis
turbed them, he replied that they did
not; that he slept soundly and enjoyed
three full meals day; in fact he was
doing when The News representative
called.
A stole by nature, but somewhat sub
dued. Pollard, it might be summed up
briefly, has cleansed his heart of any
bitterness and has made up his mind
ceived the sentence which condemned
him to the gallows His whole de-
meanor was that of utter subjection
and absolute helplessness as to any
worldly relief. When told, in fact.
that nothing could hardly save him
but God, he agreed with idea and re-
iterated the fact that he had no hard
feelings for anyone. The chances are
that the ministrations of the clergy
have had considerable to do with get
ting Pollard" heart in the right shape,
and that he has set his earthly house
in order there seems to be no ques-
ton.
PoIIard's Crime.
The crime for which Pollard will
yield his life next Friday brings into
action that fateful triangle which has
hurled many human souls into etern-
ity. Pollard had been stonstant
friend of Celia Harvey, his paramour
who, it appeared, according to the ev-
idenced adduced during the trial, was
married to another man. On one par
ticular occasion Pollard sought the
home and, being denied admission,
armed himself with an axe, broke in
the front door, whereupon Celia ran
into one of the rooms and locked it.
Several other negroes were in the
house at the time, and all but one of
them escaped. He battered his way
into the room in which the Harvey wo-
man was in hiding, and there struck
her lick across the head with the axe
and then left. The woman was remov-
ed to the hospital, was later returned
to her home, and afterwards died as a
direct result of the wound inflicted by
Pollard.
Rope Is Ready.
In the storage room at the Jail is
the rope which is to be used for the
hanging, all stretched and creased,
with the hanmgans knot already tied,
the work of Sheriff Berrie, who stated
yesterday that he would hang Pollard,
the first in his career as sheriff of the
county for over thirty years. Only
one other negro has ever been exc
cuted during the sheriff's long service
and that was some Is years ago when
Tracy Griffen paid the death penalty.
A visiting sheriff, however, hanged
the negro.

GOMPERS WANTS SCHOOLS
TO TEACH RESPECT
FOR WORKING MEN
(By United Press)

New York, July 1.-THE Gary plan
of school administration, the obliga-
ton of educational systems to union
labor and peace had their innings
in the discussions of the National
Educational association meeting here
today.
William A. Writ, superintendent OF
the city schools of Gary, Ind, dis
cussed the Gary plan as organized
in his home city and as administered
in twelve Of the leading schools in
the Bronx, New York City. The
Gary plan, he declared, has extended
in some form or other to most of the
leading schools systems in the coun-
try
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, advo-
Gated training in the schools for eff
cient work and the teaching in the
schools of the doctrine of respect for
the rights of the man who carries a
dinner pail.

MEN OF MILITARY AGE.

How many able-bodied citizens of
military age have we in the United
States?
The Bureau of the Census, while
it is unable to make any estimate of
the proportion who are able-bodied,
estimates that the total number of
male citizens and prospective citizens
that is, foreign born persons who
have declared their intention to be-
come citizens-1S to As years Of age,
inclusive, is not far from 100000.
This estimate is based on the as
sumption that there has been an in
crease of approximately 10 per cent
in the population of the country
since the census of 1910. When
that census was taken the total num-
Der of male citizens and prospective
citizens Is years Of age and over but
under 46 was 19,183,00O. OF this
number, 14,224,0OO were native
whites, 2,S57,00O were foreign born
whites who had become naturalized
or had declared their intention of
doing so, 2,O52,000 were negroes,
and $4,000 were Indians. The num-
Der of foreign-born citizens is par
TALLY an estimate, since the census
enumerators were able to obtain in
formation as to citizenship from
only about seven-eights of the total
number of foreign born males. Ma
tive whites thus represent about "A
per cent of the total, foreign born
whites nearly Is per cent, negroes
nearly II per cent and Indians about
three-tenths of one per cent.
During the Civil war, when the
population of the country, exclusive
Of the seeding states, was less than
one-fourth as great as the present
population of the entire United
States, the total number of men serv-
ing in the Federal armies at one time
and another was approximately g.
100000 (due allowance being made
for duplicate enlistments, that is,
cases in which men enlisted more
than once.)

LOYALTY WITHOUT WIND.

True loyalty does not consist Of
getting out in public and shouting to
the winds of the glories of our coun-
try and how we can lick the world
with our hands tied behind us.
We have a few such "patriots,"
but they have never set the world
afire and we never expect to see them
fighting for thir country. When bull
let's are singing and shells are Shrek
ing such "patriots' are usually
found fishing industriously in finan-
cial waters far to the rear.
What we need is patriotism that
impels a man to love his country for
what it is and for what it has done
for himself and for the rest of man
kind. When a man is imbued with
this brand of loyalty he will give
even life itself for his country when
the need arises, and he will have no
self-plaudits to hurl at his fellow
men in Qualification of his own acts.
He will not dispense wind.
We have many just such true pa
triots right in our own midst, but
they are quietly pursuing their daily
routine, hoping and praying that the
government may steer the ship of
state through the troublous waters
without loss of honor or dignity.
Today they are simply loyal cit
liens of the republic. Tomorrow
they may be heroes who have fought
and died for their country.
Who knows?

WE OUT-GREEK THE GREEKS.

American boys-even city boys
even New York boys-are often bet
ter developed physically than the an
cient Greeks. And every record Of
the ancient Greeks but one-the
broad jump with weights, which isn't
practised to any extent-has been
broken by New York city school
boys. This was discovered recently
when sixty boys equal to the best of
the Greeks were needed for Shake
speare masque at the great outdoor
stadium of the College of the City Of
New York.
1t was no long and discouraging
task to find those boys. On the con-
trary, 200 applied at the first oppor-
tunity. Practically all of them not
only met but surpassed the best of
the ancient Greek standards both in
the measurements and in physical
tests. The sixty who had most time
for rehearsals were chosen.
Civilization, which has freed us
from the superstitions of exposure and
torture in developing strength and
courage, has, of course, brought with
it possibilities of ease and softness
unknown to earlier peoples. But the
