A Confederate Captain
In Richmond, Va., at the Home for
Needy Confederate Women, le an In
mate who wee the only woman who
waa a Confederate captain commle-
eioneci by President Davie, which la
algned by Prealdent Davis and the
secretary of war, Leroy P. Walker.
She Is Miss Sally Tompkins, of Vir
ginia, bom In 1813 In Mathews county,
and she still has In her possession the
papers. At the time she was captain,
Miss Tompkins was only 27 years old,
and was quite wealthy. With her mon
ey she established a hospital for the
care of the Confederate soldiers who
were 111 and wounded.
In the year 1882 President Davis or
dered all the private hospitals to be
closed and that all the officers who
were then In charge should go to the
Held hospitals under the direction of
the Confederate nrmy. When this or
der came, Miss Tompkins resolved to
tarry out her original plan; that Is.
to run her hospital as she had Intended,
and she appealed to the president to
allow her this privilege. President Da
vis then decided to make her a captain
In the cavalry without doing active
service In the Held. When Miss Tomp
kins accepted the commission she re
fused to receive any pay for the posi
tion, so the money was turned back
Into the treasury of the Confederate
states. While the war was In progress
1,390 soldiers were cared for at this
hospital, and under the direction of this
noble Southern woman.
Miss Tompkins Is now 73 years old,
and Is a charming, lovable and true
Southern gentlewoman, who commands
the love and respect of every person
In Richmond. She will never allow her
picture to be token for the press, as
■he only has one In existence, the one
which adorns the court house wall In
Mathews county.
She Is called "Cousin Sally" by all
Richmond people, and she Is loved by
them nil. Her home Is to be the Con
federate Home for as long as she likes
and she Is allowed to go and come
when she pleases.
Miss Tompkins has the sweet voice
and cultured manner of the Southern
aristocrat.
An Open Letter.
An open letter has been written and
published by the Centennial Club of
Nashville, Tenn., which comes from

OVER 100 PUPILS
ARE CROWDED OUT
OF CITYJCHOOLS
But Seats for 14,382 Have
Been Provided For
Children of City.
With over a hundred children unable
to secure seats, and 14,183 already pro
vided for, the Atlanta public school!
have started on what promises to be
the most prosperous year In their his
tory. '
Notwithstanding the fact that six
new school buildings have been provid
ed for during the past year, some of
which, however, are not quite com
pleted, Superintendent Slaton stated
Saturday morning that the schools were
worse crowded this year than ever be
fore. but that It would be a question of
only a short time until transfers would
be made which would enable every
child In the city to secure a seat. The
greatest crowding Is reported in the
second and third grade* on the south
side, but this can soon be overcome.
One of thei hardest problems facing
the teachers this year will be the
change in the system of handwriting
taught. For several yeats past the ver
tical system, which was thought to be
more legible, has been In vogue In the
city schools, but on account of com
plaints from the business men of ths
city, that It waa unnecessarily slow,
and no more legible than the old slant
ing system, It has been dropped. Pro-

"As the marketmaster, J. H. Fly, Is

the chief of police, Captain Curren, can
only suggest that the ladles themselves
come forward and dally wash out the
market house, and as the mayor, T. O.

upon the housekeepers of Nashville,

an effort to arouse among them a sense
