who have the tangible facts are not
doing any talking and will not talk
until they are called upon by the

bail for Mrs. Annie Cults, the fourth
person arrested in connection with
the death of Fred D. Shepard, OF
Fort Valley, last June, will be made
before Judge H. A. Mathews in SUI
perior court "some time this week"

An. effort will be made by the
lawyers for the defense, it is un-

lions for bail considered at the same
time, at the hearing which will be
held in this city on next TUESDAY.
At that hearing the defense will
try to force Solicitor General Garrett
to disclose his evidence. No evil
dence has been presented to any
court, not even to a coroner's jury
up to this time, it is declared by these
lawyers; hence their ground for APP

One mornig Mr.. Scribble Scratch
the fairy schoolmaster, didn't come
to school.
The Magical Mushroom rang the
bell for the children to come, Nick
busted around and picked up the
brown leaves that had blown down
into the schoolroom under the oak
tree over night, and wiped the frost
off the blackboard, for you re01em-
Der that the weather was getting
most frosty and cool.
Nancy passed the slate and things
and laid out-the rollbook all ready
to begin, for when Mr. ScriDble
Scratch arrived it generally took
him some time to put away his 60
loshes and ear-muffs and other
things.
After while everything was ready
and everyone was IN his seat wait
ing, but no Scribble Scratch appear
ed. For the first time since Meadow
Grove School had started in the early
fall, the fairyman schoolmaster did
not put in an appearance.

THALEAN GIVES
M'MATH A FETE
Banquet Honors Coun-
ty Superintendent,
Soon To Retire
(Contributed.)

The 8th, 9th and 10th grades of
Thalean Consolidated school, SIX
miles southwest of Americas, gave
o recherche affair Monday night in
banoueting the county superintend-
lent of schools, E. j, McMath.
The invited guests included MEM
bers of the county board OF educa-
tion. Mr.. and Mrs. McMath were
the honorees of the occasion.
Promptly at 8 p. m. Thalean Hall
was opened and to the strains of de-
lightful music the guests of the ev-
ening was welcomed as one whom
lovers of education would ever de-
light to honor. At the toastmaster's
call each pupil responded with CRATE
full praise and well chosen words
in honor of the great work of Mr..
McMath
Thalean was the first to CONSOLE
date and vote bonds to build its
school house. Under Mr.. McMath's
administration the schools of the
county have fiourishe and tenderly,
lovingly, sweetly, has he striven to
make of them the great schools that
now are the pride, honor and glory
of Sumter county. These children
expressed to him and his co-workers
a heartfelt gratitude that bespoke
their culture and training. Their
toasts were witty and elegant. There
was here feast of reason and a
flow of soul. With it all, however,
was vein of sadness that could
not be entirely downed.
The repast of chocolate and sand
witches was tempting, and the jokes
were smooth and piquant, and rich,
rare and racy were the speeches. The
music, as rendered by the five Tha-
lean "highbrows," Misses Rambo,
Phinizy, johnson, Battle and Solo
mon, was most charming. The beau
tiful song composed for this occas-
ion was rendered with choicest senti-
ment expressed and radiant was the

music, but with all of these to cheer
bright women and brave men left
Thalean Hall with not only pensive
but sombre feeling that so great a
worker and earnest leader had been
depOsed and would not be with them
another term.
The sentiment that prompted the
BANQUET and caused the earnest
thought of all the attendants so beau
tifully expressed, awoke in the sup
erintendent feelings that could not
be responded to adequately in words.
However, this honored guest made a
happy, bright response and the oc-
casion was enlivene by his elo-
quence.
There were games of contests in
history and memory and altogether
the evening passed off merrily and
will be long cherished as a happy
memory.
Thalean has set the standard in OBJ
tanning only the brightest and best
of teachers and remunerative sala-
ries are paid them. The people of
this district delight in the fact that
they are taxed for the good of their
country and children and nothing in
all the world do thev prize more than
the high standard taken by this pio-
neer consolidated school Every par
ent that attended this fete went
away with happier and better feel
ing that from the mouths of these
children came eloquent praise show
ing their appreciation of the great
work tn has been done for educa-
tiohal uplift of Sumter county.

ADVENTURES
OF THE TWINS
b Olive Roberts Bertosa

What could be wrong?
The school clock said exactly zine
to the minute and something had to
be done Nancy tipped over to Nick
and whispered to him about it, and
then the twins both tiptoed back
to the Magical Mushroom (who as
usual had settled himself in place
to be Mr. Scribble Scratch's dcsk)
and whispered to his about 1t, and
this is what came of it all. Nancy
was to be substitute and wear Mr..
Scribble Scratch's specks, and Nick
was to hurry over to the schooImast-
er's house by the dump of bitter
sweet, and find out the trouble.
As,soon as Nick had gone, Nancy
rang the taking-up bell, which meant
for everybody to sit up straight and
stop chattering to his neighbors.
"Stay by me-" whispered the
Magical Mushroom, "and I'll help
you out. You see I know every
thing"
"Thank you," answered Nancy,
much encouraged, and she began to
read some wise verses out of a book.

Two Very Dangerous
Constitutional Amend
ments Suggested.

During the 1920 session of the Cen
eral Assembly of Georgia there were
, introduced two Constitutional Amend
ments which have a direct bearing on
the earnings and values of the prop
erty of every citizen of the state, and
because of the declaration by the pro-
motors of these bills, that they will be
presented again to the next General
Assembly, it is the purpose of this
publication to acquaint the people OF
Georgia with the nature of these pro-
posed bills.
The First Bills:
A constitutional amendment to
authorize the General Assembly to
create a "Hydro- Electric Power Com
mission" aUith authority to incur debt
II, the name of the State for the pur-
pose Of purchasing, leasing, construct
Ing, operating and maintaining pubic
utilities, such as water works, street
railways and plants for the genera,
ton, transmission, distribution and
sale of electric or other light, heat or
mower. and transmission lines or other
means for the transmission and distrl-
button of light, heat and power. This
bill gives the proposed Hydro-Electric
Power Commission the authority to
condemn any and all such public utili-
ties. and e1empts them Ohen so &C
olired. from the supervision of the
Railroad Commission OF Georgia
which now has control OF the rates
and operating practices of all such
utilities in the State.
The Second Bill Is:
constitutional amendment te
authorize cities, towns and counties
To exceed the limitation of seven pei
cent on debts, for the purpose OF pro
vidinp money to carry out the pro
eramnne of the Hydro-Electric Power
Commission as outlined in the prevt'
Gus hill. It cancels the limitations
and restrictions imposed By the Con
stitution as to the issuance o. oonG'
by counties and municipalities o. I'M

SHORTER THAN EVER
STYLE FOR DRESSES

Paris, France. Sept. Here is
Dame Fashions decree for autumn
gowns and street dresses as regis
tered at the first fall fashion show in
Paris:
The shortest skirts since the days
of Mother Eve-and this despite the
protests of American buyers that
American women won't wear them.
A two-panel skirt, reaching barely
to the knee, with front and rear panels
not stitched together all the way
down, threatening to display much
lingerie on windy days.
Evening gowns high in the front,
but absolutely lacking in backs, the
absence of clothing being strings OF
pearls down the back or large beauty
spots.
The American buyers who swarmed
the first exhibition went away almost
without making single purchase.
