clan, the Foundation of the
Science of Geometry.

Euclid was an ancient mathemati-
elan, who is said by some TO have
tiourished in the third Gentry before
the Christian era. 1t is generally
held that lie was Greek, but the date
and place of his birth are unknown.
1t is generally held that much of his
work was done at Alexandria, Egypt,
which in those ancient times was a
famous seat Of learning and the CEN
ter of extensive commerce. The most
famous work of Euclid that has come
down to US is the Elements of Ge0m-
etry in Is books. The first six are the
most valuable. They contain the
foundation of geometry. On which is
based several branches of higher
mathematics. These books are still
used in schools and colleges. The
next three books deal with the prop
critics of numbers but they are super
seeded by modern arithmetic. Euclid
also left other forks. such as reatises
on harmony and optics.

She SAT- on the deck of the steam

In the meantime Ignacio Bonillas,

According to General Amador,
Herrero's assassins outnumbered the

M'MATH LOSES
JUSTICEPLACE;;
CARTER PICKED
Grand Jury Understood
To Have Decided On
Change

Neill Carter, we'll known citizen
of Americus, who conducts a small
store on Furlow street, was yesterday
recommended by the Sumter county
grand fury to succeed W. T. McMath
as notary public and ex-officio justice
of the peace for this militia district,
according to information emanating
from the grand jury room. No re-
port on the subject had been made to
Judge Littlejohn, who makes the ap-
pointment, up to this afternoon, and
the information was not official The
appointment is the regular one, Mr..
McMath's term expiring shortly.
The matter of filling the position
came before the grand jury Monday
and several persons are said to have
been heard on the subject. Mr.. Nc
Maths name was presented for re-
election, it is understood, a petition
signed by number of citizens was
received urging Mr.. Carter's appoint
ment, and the name of Robert Lane,
young attorney and son of Col. w
I. Lane, was offered by some of his
friends. According to the story
which leaked out today, it was ar
gued to the grand jury in favor of
Mr.. Carter that the place of justice
of the peace properly belongs to an
old man, and that Mr.. Carter, being
a veteran, was doubly entitled to the
place. 1t was stated on the outside,
however, by persons in a position to
know, that Mr.. Carter is not really
a veteran and made no claim of be-
ing. Mr.. Lane, it was said, was not
a candidate for the place on his own
behalf, his name being urged entire
ly by others.
Although Mr.. McMath had some
warm supporters on the grand jury
for his reelection to the office, it is
that it was urged that he
had held the place for eight years. 1t
is also understood that exception was
taken by some members to his re-
cent open support of Thos E. Wat
son.
