This Summer,
No female college in the south is bet
ter equipped than is Shorter —the pride
of Rome.
And it is pleasing to know that the
trustees are ever progressive, and will
this summer make many improvements
amounting t) thousands of dollars.
These improvements will include
making more convenient and attractive
the boarding department, as well as ad
tding to the laboratories of the educa

The trustees have decided to make
these at once, and it will be but a few
days before actual work begins, so that
all may be finished by the time the pu
pils commence coming in for the fall
term.
Rome is proud of Shorter college and
is glad to know of the contemplated im

A SPECIAL TERM
Os Court Will Be Called to Try This Wife
Murderer.
Atlanta, June 30.- Judge Candler
will call a special term of court for the
trial of McCullough, the alleged Clayton
county murderer.
He will also in all probability order a
change of venue in the case from Clayton
to DeKalb or Fulton superior court.
“This case,” said Judge Candler this
morning, “is one that ought to be dis
posed of without any unnecessary delay.
There is great public fading over it
among the people of Clayton county.
“I have private information from there
today which leaves no doubt in my mind
that if McCullough had been kept there
two hours longer he would have been
lynched.
“On account of this feeling I am
considering the advisability of a
change of venue. Ido not want to be
judge and soldier, too, you know—it
might be necessary to call out the
military, I am told, if McCullough is
taken back to Clayton in the present
state of public sentiment. I have not
decided yet, however, whether to
hold the trial in DeKalb or Fulton
county.’’
By the information received by
Judge Candler this morning it ap
pears that plans to lynch McCullough
were all formulated and would have
been carried out had he not been
brought away.
Some of the names of those who
were implicated have been given to
Judge Candler, who is thoroughly
convinced that it would be sure to
cause trouble if the prisoner is taken
to Clayton county for trial.

| A Meeting Which
a Meeting
The ustees ot the Rome
and
afternoon,
probably
meet and business, and got
together for that purpose, there is no
doubt. That they ! did not transact
business is also a matter about which
there can be no doubt.
This fact is interesting from several
different views, and among them is
the fact that according to the view of
City Attorney Smith and others, the
time of Mr. Camp expired at the time
of the election of his successor, that
is on the 4thjMonday in June, and
that he has not been a member of the
board since then.
It was 6 o’clock yesterday afternoon
that Captain Steele, Mr. Camp and
Mr. J. K. Williamson met in the of
fice of the first named. Mr. Camp
called the board to order and Sec
retary Steele read a petition signed
by a dozen or so colored citizens ask
ingjthat Ella Barnet, who was recently
elected a teacher in the colored
schools, be deposed. A committee,
headed by Rev. McCurdy, appeared
before the board and made complaint
testifying as to the charges.
While this was going on Mr. N. H.
Bass came up and called Capt. Steele
aside. After a few minutes the com
mittee of colored citizens left, and
Mr. Bass had a few words to say to
the board. In substance he stated
that, in the first place this was no
meeting of the board; that he had
been elected a member, and that Mr.
Camp’s time had expired. In the
second place, he understood thi s
meeting was preparing to pay teach
ers for work not yet done, and he
was opposed to it.
“Suppose a teacher dies, or marries
after drawing the salary for the sum
mer, and does no teaching whatever
for that year in the Rome public
schools. Is it right that we should
pay her for this summer vacation,and
then never have her teach?” \
Considerable discussion of a desul.
tory kind was the result of this.
Captain Steele stated Mr. Bass was
right in saying that Mr. Camp’s time
had expired, and explained that they
intended to attempt no new business
but were only trying to clean up some
unfinished business.
“We did not intend paying the
teachers,’’ said he.
“No, sir,” said Mr. Camp. “I have
not the power any more to sign up
drafts.”
And that’s the way it all ended.
Mr. Williamson, Mr. Bass and Mr.
Camp picked up their hats and walked
out, and nothing was done.
There will be a meeting of the new
board this afternoon.

■* Castoria is an excellent medicine for chil
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its
jood effect Upon their children.”
Da. G. C. Osgood,
Lowell, Mass.
” Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which lam acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers willconsiderthereal
interest of their children, and use Castoria in
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves.”
