NIcHOL SON Elected
SUPT. or SCHOOLS
SUCCEEDS PROF. A. L. BREWER
AS HEAD OF CORDELE INSTlTU-
TON; PRINCIPAL o'NEAL HIGH
TWO YEARS.

Prof. H. B. Nicholson, for the past
two years principal of the O'Neal High
school, was elected superintendent Of
the Cordele public schools for the en-
suing school year at the regular meet
ing OF the city board of education
Tuesday afternoon. His election fol-
lowed the declination to enter his
name for reelection Of Superintend-
ent A L. Brewer. DR.. T. ]. Macarthur,
former secretary to the board, declin-
ed to have his name entered for re-
election to this office.
Miss Melissa Ogburn, tenth grade
teacher in the high school, was elect
ed by the board as superintendent OF
the Northern Heights school. The
names Of several apparently good Sc
lections for the principalship of the
O'Neal High school were considered,
but the board adjourned until next
applications to fill this vacancy.
Prior to becoming principal Of the
O'Neal High school two years ago,
Prof. Nicholson was principal of the
schools at Richland. He is thorough
ly familiarized with the Cordele sys-
TEN, and has always proven himself
efficient and active in the discharge Of
his duties, taking a great interest in
the expansion and development of the
school, He is deserving of his new
appointment, and his selection seems
to meet with general satisfaction.
Miss Ogburn has taught five years
in the Atlanta public schools. She
served one year as principal and two
years as superintendent of the Reyn-
olds public school system.
The election OF other teachers in
the public schools will take place at
the regular May meeting Of the board.
When the board met Tuesday it was
reorganized by electing l.. A. Parker,
president; j. w Bivins, secretary and
treasurer.
The board, after considerable dis
cussion and protests from some mem
bers of the board, reduced the salary
Of the superintendent from $4,000 to
1900 per year.
Supt. Brewer made his report for
the month. The report shows an en-
rollment in the high school of 1877; for
the month 1870; average 121. The
grammar school enrolment was 653;
for the month 565; average 554.
Northern Heights school enrolment
1898; for the month ISL; average 126.
Among the matters of business that
the board attended, was the granting
the use of the school auditorium to the
Mnemosynean club on the night of
April 80, for the lecture of Miss Mil
bred Rutherford, one Of the states
most noted and gifted woman orators
and a most forceful speaker on his.
tcrical subjects. The proceeds from
tie lecture will be appropriated to the
construction of the club house at the
city park.

JUDGE WHIPPLE
GETS JUDGSHIp
PRESIDENT SENT NAME TO SEN.
ATE MONDAY MoRNiNo--WoRk.
ING NOW FOR CONFIRMATION
BY SENATORS hARDWIck AND
< SMITH.

The name of Judge U. V. Whipple
OF Cordele was sent to the United
States senate Monday morning by
President Wilson to fill the judgship
in the United States court for the
Southern District of Georgia made va
cant by the death OF ne late Judge W.
w. Lambdin. The appointment needs
now only the confirmation of the SEN
ate before Judge Whipple takes the
high position.
Press reports from Washington in
dictate that Senator Hardwick will op-
pose the appointment and will fight
to have Judge Whipple eliminated
The department of justice is said to
have favored Judge Whipple and for
this reason, it is thought, he won when
the matter was finally disposed of by
the president.
Great interest over Judge Whipple's
appointment and the announced inten-
ton Of fighting it by Senator Hard
wick is being manifested here and
throughout this section of the state.
But Judge Whipple's friends are still
working hard for his confirmation and
will make their strongest effort to con-
vince Senator Hardwick that he could
70 no better than accept Judge Whip
pie since it is not possible to have
other applicants considered.
Judge Whipple has the following to
say to people here at home regarding
the status of his apointment at pres
ent:
ITO My Home People:
"You have helped me pursue my
ambitions for the U. S. Judgeship with
unsurpassed loyalty. Your great in
terest in me is undeserved, but my
lasting gratitude is yours.
IT naturally rejoice in the nomi-
nation Of myself by the President, but
am distressed at press reports of op-
position to my confirmation. l cannot
believe that either senator will finally
oppose me, because each one has as
sured me that have given no offense
ut delights me to say to you that
my candidacy has been conducted
with the utmost Difference and respect
to our senators, and to their respon-
sibilities in connection with this Of
fee; and it shall be so conducted to
the end, regardless of the outcome.
"In the face of the press reports in
dicating senatorial opposition, l coun7
sci friendliness and moderation; to
do otherwise. would indicate an ele-
ment of unfitness for the high office to
which aspire. But I earnestly seek
from you persistent continuation Of
your efforts to help me by a renewal
of your requests in my behalf.
Every great prize is worthy Of
great effort; and l confess to you now
that the enthusiasm and loyalty of
my friends cause me to believe that
only success is ahead.
Anyway, even though should final
~ lose, shall have the consciousness
of a campaign honorably waged and
of the interest Of my home people un-
surpassed. Sincerely yours,
"U. V. WHIPPLE."

B. Ware likewise firmly established their regulations on the courts in 1898, when martial things most oc- cupied the attention of the nation.
 These facts were brought out dur ing lively discussion as to the can- ceiling of the championship and tournament schedule. The point was established that at that time and fol- lowing the declaration of war against Spain the American game really benefited and did not suffer, as had been feared at the time would be the case. Applied directly to lawn tennis, the Spanish-American war served as a blessing. It brought to the front Whitman, generally considered among all competent authorities as one of the greatest lawn tennis players this country has ever produced.

San Francisco, April 6.-Although the star of Maurice E. Mclaughlin, the California comet, was somewhat eclipsed last season by R. Norris Williams 2d, McLoughlin's friends on the coast expect to see him come back this year. Incidentally those opposed to a cancellation of tourna- ments because of the war declare that war helped lawn tennis in 1898. War provided the foundation upon which Malcolm Douglas Whitman reared his skill and fame as a lawn tennis player. Dwight F. Davis, the donor of the world famous international challenge cup. caught the first breath of cham pionship aspirations while the nation was actively hostile toward Spain.

DECISION ENTHUSES
 MITCHEL'S FRIENDS
They See Him As Victor in Next
 City Election

New York, April 6.-Republican and fusion leaders were jubilant last night over the result of the Mitchell Wagner controversy in the state sen- ate and insisted that the mayors stock has gone up 100 per cent. It was also confidently predicted by prominent republican leader that the mayor Is ready to accept renomina- ton. This view was emphatically supported by one of the fusion leaders. The mayor is still maintaining silence.
 The. republican leaders favorable to the mayor characterized the Albany proceedings as a big Mitchell victory. They asserted the mayor made it plain to every one that the entire affair from the beginning was political move on the part of Tammany to injure the mayor. That the move re- suited in a boomerang was the concen- sus of opinion.
 A republican leader last night painted an optimistic picture of what would happen in the forthcoming election. He said the mayor has as- l sured the leaders who are working for fusion that he will be their stan- dard bearer. He then dwelt on the mayors strong patriotic attitude, which, he said, has not only won him | thousands of new friends, but has also assured him of the support of the national administration. With the country at war party lines to a large extent will be wiped out, and with the mayors previous record. | with the added strength resultant
 from the senate hearing and with his vigorous patriotic sentiments, this
 leader insisted the mayor would win
 easily.
 Naturally Tammany leaders take
 just the opposite view. They profess {, to see a ''crushing defeat'' for the
 mayor as a result of the Senator Wag-
 ner incident. Their line of argument l is to the effect that the mayor by his remarks about Senator Wagner alien
 ated the German vote, if there is such a thing, and that he has already lost | the Catholic vote becausee of the wire | tapping case. That would appear to leave him only the American vote. 1 Frank L. Bowling, president of the
 board of aldermen said last night the democratic candidate would win by 1 at least 100000.
 That is,'' he added, provided all
 of the Tammany men are not in the
 army or navy, which is very likely, as they are good scrappers and love a
 fight
 The republican leaders will get to- gether within a week or two to can
 vass the situation as to candidates. They have already-that is the ma-
 jority of themTgone on record in favor of fusion It is known that with the exception of few Brook lyn leaders the mayor is the only can- didate being discussed seriously.

All Soldiers Should Make Will at Home


 Every young man going into the army ought to make a will.
 Under the law, one disposes of property that is his at the time of his death. A soldier might in herit property during his ab- sence, but knows now what dis position he desires to make of what he has and what he may have.
 After entering the service, there is neither time nor oppor- tnnity for the quiet and thought ful consideration which should be bestowed upon a will.
 There is no competent legal ad- wiser available to assist in the preparation.
 After entering the service, es pecially after reaching Europe, there are no facilities for the me- chanical execution of a will, much less for compliance with legal requirements.
 Witnesses to a will made abroad would not be available when the time comes for the will to be probaled.
 The fact that a prospective participant in military service has at the present time no prop erty is no reason for not making will, disposlng of such property as might be held at the time of death. Property may be acquired by descent. by will or in other unexpected ways. A will made before leaving for the front can be deposited in safe hands, and safely kept, while one made in active service IS more apt to be lost or destrl yed.

Bible Student Found Guilty of Booze Sale

Pocahontas, July 20.-Samuel Walker, the man who wanted his trial on booze charge conducted according to the Bible. was con- victed by jury in circuit court here yesterday of selling liquor, and was sentenced to a year in the penitentiary.
 Walker pleaded insanity, and gave testimony supposedly cal culated to substantiate the claim He said he was born in Jerusalem and had seen Christ, Who, he says. is still on earth. He also said that he had lived forever. and that he will never die. He defended his sales of liquor by saying that the men who bought it frow him were guilty, and not he. and he quoted passages from the Bible which he said proved this view correct.
 Walker was arrested by the sheriff while coming down Black river from Poplar Bluff, Missouri with a boat full of booze.

THE RICE RIOT
A Little Figuring as to the Food Waste
 of Foolish Custom

Ol TOUllSH CuSt0m
 In a days ride on the New York Central railroad 1 noticed that the platforms at several sta tions were thickly strewn with rice, writes a contrib ltor of the New York Sun.
 A handful of rice weighs ap- prOXimately two ounces. Ac- cording to the United States census the mum Der of marriages reported in 1916 was 953 290 The million mark ought to be reached 1917. Sixteen handtuls, or two pounds, would, 1 judge. be c very modest estimate of the amount of rice considered na1 q essary properly to disconcert the bridal pair.
 The food value of one pound of rice 1880 calories. Figuring on 50.50 basis, that is 500,000 wed dings cum rice and 500,000 we'd ding sans rice, we find that 1000. GOO pounds of rice with a food value of ,630. 100000 calories are thrown away every 12 months.
 Why this stupendeus waste of good, gustable carbohydrate? If it is necessary for the admiring friends to throw something at the departing couple, 1 would submit old-fashioned wooden shoe pegs as a substitute pos sessing all the requirements. They are cheap, would be as hu- initiating to the bridegroom and as difficult for the bride to re- move from her hair and clothes. If thought best they could be dipped in white paint to make more conspicuous and to conform to the orthodox color scheme of the wedding scenery.
 This innovation would not be as revolutionary as it would at first appear. Old shoes have been thrown after the departing cou- pies from time immemorial, when the soles were begged on instead of sewed, and would it not be perfectly proper to use the peg on such occasions, as symbolic of the shoe? If so, the substitute of wooden pegs for rice at the honeymoon getaway would not only conserve the food supply but also the leather sup ply.
 It is argued that all the wood is needed to build ships. 1 would suggest that in keeping with the economical spirit of the times that the pegs be made of punk.
