ItSUIIOfIKCIUTIWIW
Number of Children Stopped But a
Majority Have Come Back
Important Meeting.
The monthly me ting of the Board of
Education night was full of interest
and there was a full atendance when thq,
meeting was called to order.
Tla- census committee made their report
.which was necessarily an m complete one
now as the census enumerators have not
half’flnishtxl their work yet. The commit
tee retried that the work is
satisfactorily and that it will he finished
about the first of April.
The committee on 'teachers reported the
resignation of Miss Moore, who said that
she preferred to resign to being vaccina
ted. For Miss Moore’s place Miss Grace
K, tner, of Leavenworth, Kans., was re
commended. Miss Ketner is a Southern
born girl of Virginia parents and is most
'highly recommended as a teacher of mu
sic.
Miss Ketn< r was elected for the place,
and she will take the place of musical
director in the public schools which Miss
Moore las held for some time. Miss Ket
ner wi.l come to Macon immediately to
take i barge. She was elected for the rest
of this term, as none of the teachers are
engaged for more than one session.
The resignation of Miss Nanette Carter,
richer of the second year class in the
Whittle school was reported. Miss Alma
Stiles, the supertuimerpry, was promoted
to Mirs Carter's place, and Miss Grace
Judd, a student at the Normal school of
the Public school system was elected to
the supernumerary's place.
A communioation was read to the board
from Miss Alice Jennings, who is one of
the leading members of the Christian sci
entists, asking that Miss Moore be rein
stated to tier position in the schools.
The report of Superintendent Abbott,
and County Principal Fitzpatrick showed
that, the compulsory vaccination hat! not
affected the attendance at the schools so
much after all, and that most of the pupils
who dropped otft of the schools had com
plied with the law and were returning.
In the city 14S pupils stopped school and
half of them have returned. In the county
214 whites ami 156 colored children stop
ped school. Superintendent Abbott says
that before the session is out he
■thinks the majority of those who stopped
out of the schools will be vaccinated and
return.
It was decided at the meeting to do
away with eommeneemen't exercises this
year, aid havo nothing but the graduating
exercises.
The board was formally notified of the
meeting of the county school commission
e** association in this city the first week
in May. The superintendent was instruct
ed to provide a suitable meeting place.
Mr. Washington Dessau introduced a
resolution to have the history of Georgia
taught in the schools. It i« the purpose of
Mr. Dessau to have the teachers in the
school system prepare a history of the
etale and submit it to the board for their
approval. This resolution was referred to
ft lie committee on text books. Following is
Mr. Dessau's resolution in full:
"Resolved, That the history of Georgia
should lie taught in the public schools of
thl.-i county.
‘'Resolved (2), That this school board
procure, if practicable a history of Georgia
to be taught in 'he public schools of this
county, such history to be prepared by the
tellers of the public schools of this coun
ty.
"Resolved (3). That this board prepare
and submit, to the teachers of t'he public
schools of this county a plan calculated
to induce them to prepare a history of
Georgia to be taught in the public schools
of this county and stimulate them by
proi>er encouragement to the speedy exe
cution of the work proposed.”
MRS. NOBLES’ CASE.
Petitions Beinc; Circulated Throughout the
County.
Yestreday afternoon tire ladies of Ma
con commenced the work of circulating a
petition which will be presented to the
governor to commute the sentence of Mrs.
[Nobles to life imprisonment.
A large number of names have been
ndded to the list today, and when it is
presented to the governor it will contain
thousands of names of the representative
citizens of Bibb county.
• The governor will give the attorneys in
the case a hearing next Thursday.
There are hundreds of letters on file at the
governor's office bearing on the case and
asking him to commute the sentence of the
old woman. Some of them are from other
states.
There are also some who are asking that
the law be allowed to take its course, and
that as the courts have decided that she
should hang she should be hung. The
only reason that any of those who have
refused to sign the petition is that the case
Jias already cost the county too much. It
(has not cost Bibb county 5 cents, and some
of them want to see an old woman's life
sacrificed because they think they will
have to pay a few extra cents tax.

DEMAND ON GARY
WAS TOO HEAVY
It is Stated in Washington
That He Has Been Obliged
to Give In.
BOYS WERE TOO HUNGRY
And the Pressure Brought to. Bear
to Secure an Appointment to Ma-
Macon’s Postoffice Was Great.
The Georgia republican leaders have no
intention ot letting the president forget
them,even if the honor of the country is at
stake, says a Washington special to t'he
Atlanta Constitution. All of the leaders
have been here for several days, uniting in
an effort to bring to a head such political
complications as, when solved, will give
some of the faithful offices. Just now their
efforts are concentrated on the three
prominent postoffices, Macon, Rome and
Griffin, where Democrats hold the offices
as successors to other Democrats. In the
Rome and Griffin cases vacancies occurred
through death; in the Macon ease Post
master Hertz was appointed to the office
when Daisy Price resigned to be mayor.
The Macon case, as has been explained
in the Constitution, differs from the others
because 'Macon is the home of a senator
who has given notice that he will fight
any appointment made before Postmaster
Hertz has been allowed to fill out a full
four years’ term. The probable ability of
Senator Bacon to prevent a confirmation
even if an appointment is made is just
now the strongest point behind the post
master, and neither Vandiver at Rome nor
Bailey at Griffin can have just that same
power at their back. From time immemo
rial the senator has been almost the prac
tical dictator of matters pertaining to his
home office. If he is a member of the ad
ministration party he names the postmas
ter; if he is of the minority party the
senate will confirm nobody without acqui
escence on h'is part.
The postmaster general under the pres
sure of the Georgia Republicans has deter
mined to make appointments in these,
cases though some time ago he gave assur
ances that the incumbents would not be
disturbed before the expiration of the
terms for which they had been appointed.
A presidential postmaster is commissioned
for a full four years’ term, but the boys
back in Georgia are very hungry and Gary
has been compelled to give way for the de
mands for a change.
Both the Macon and Rome offices show
up hard fights 'within the Republican
ranks. Everybody in the Republican party
in Georgia is in favor of Walter Corbett
for postmaster at Macon with the single
exception of Major Hanson. Early in this
administration Major Hanson, made a per
sonal r'eque.st of the president that Harry
Edwards, the poet and novelist and news
paper writer, should be given the office at
Macon. Now Edwards had never been
known as a Republican; indeed, it is
charged, that if he voted for McKinley he
did it at Sparta, not in Macon, and I be
lieve that has not been denied.
Having given his promise to Hanson,
the president is not likely t'o appoint any
body who does not have the indorsement
of that gentleman. 'Senator Hanna is very
strongly in favor of Corbett, and the
president himself would like to appoint,
him. The only thing in his way is the
indorsement of Major Hanson. Just now
every effort is being made, to gelt that in
dorsement. 'All the other Republican
leaders are enthusiastic for -Gorifett. They
are urging at this end that Corbett be ap
pointed, despite -Hanson’s recommendation
of another man, an'd if the major will give
the hint that ho doesn’t care very much
one way or the other Walter will win.
At Rome the two Candidates are Messrs.
Etobling and Hamilton. Ebbbling has the
indorsement of Col. Buck and of Marshal
Walter Johnson, and Hamilton has the
support of everybody else who is recog
nized as a leader in Georgia Republican
ism. 'lt 18 impossible »to say just yet
which one of these will win, but the
■ch'anecs are that if the appointment is
made at once Buck's indorsement will
carry Ebbling through.
PASSED RESOLUTIONS.
Action Taken at the Colored A. M. E. Church
Last Night,
A meeting was held last night at the
colored A. M. E. Church on Cotton avenue
and the following address to the president
was adopted:
To the President and Congress of the
United States.
Greeting: At a mass meeting of the col
ored citizens of Macon, Ga., March 14,
1898, the following resolutions were adopt
ed:
■Whereas, on the 22nd day of February,
1898, at Lake City, S. C., B. F. Baker, a
colored man and postmaster of said place,
an inoffensive citizen, except for the fact
'that he was a colored man, and in the
employment of the government as post
master, was brutaly assaulted by a mob
of white men and shot dead, also his baby
child in the arms of its mother, while
three or four other children and his wife
were seriously wounded; and
Wrereas, said Baker was in his own
house which he used as a postoffice, hav
ing been refused a house in every part of
the city where he sought one to be used
for the postoffice, and,
Whereas, said Baker was not only re
fused a house for the Urfited States mail
but was boycotted by the white people of
the town, and
Whereas, the newspapers speak of Baker
as a worthy and respectable citizen, and
the only cause alleged against him was
that he was a negro and an office-holder,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That.we, the negro citizens of
Macon do hereby unqualifiedly condemn
such an outrage as was perpetrated on B.
F. Baker, a respectable citizen of South
Carolina and a worthy official of this great
government,- and that we not only con
sider this foul assassination an outrage
upon Baker, his family and the negro
race, but an outrage upon the government
which appointed him postmaster.
Resolved further. That we ask the pres
ident and congress to do all in their power
to bring the guilty assassins to justice and
punish them for their foul deed of murder
and blood shed.
Resolved further. That we ask the pres
ident and congress to pass the resolution
offered by Congressman -White, of North
Carolina, to appropriate SI,OOO for the fam
ily of the late Postmaster Baker, of Lake
City, S. C. We regret very much that our
owp congressman from this district, Hon.
Charles L. Bartlett, the only member of
the house who did, saw the necessity of
preventing the passage of the said resolu
tion when it was offered by insisting on
the order of the day; and trust whenever
the resolution is presented again that he
will do all in his power to assist in its
passage and thereby help an outraged
family and race so often discriminated
against.
Committee —-Rev. E. W. Lee, Chairman;
A. H. Hendricks, Lewis Wilder, W. F.
Bailey. Frank Disroon, Walter Robinson,
D. J. Jenkins, Charles E. Coleman, chair

gress made in the kindergarten. Miss
'Hatcher and Miss Cobb of the Young La
dies’ Auxiliary, and -Miss Margaret Plant
and Miss Lulu Hussey, of the Pansy Cir
cle, were also present. Miss Hatcher re
ported $135 as the -net proceeds realized
from the Valentine Ball. A note was read
from Mr. Henry Horne saying that on the
28th and 29th of this month Mr. Franklin
Caveney would give an entertainment a
the Academy of ‘Music, and offering to give
50 per cent of the gross receipts to the

The Daughters of the Confederacy met
this morning to" consider the idea of unit
ing with the other chapters -of the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy in Georgia in rais
ing the necessary money to buy the sol
diers’ home in Atlanta. Mrs. Rounsaville’s
letter on she subject was published in yes
terday afternoon’s 'News. The Sidney La
nier Chapter decided that even if the
'Daughters of the Confederacy could buy
the home, it would be well nigh impossible
to maintain it, that the old soldiers almost
invariably preferredreceivinga small pen
sion in their own home, to being taken
care of elsewhere, amd that all the money
raised by the chapter was needed in the
work here at home. An article was then
read showing that Georgi’a was much more
liberal than any other Southern state in
the annual amount given for pensions.
It was decided to send $2 to Daniel De
catur Emmett, the 'author of Dixie, who is
now 83 years old and in want.

BLOUNT’S FORM BOOK.
First Consignment Received This Morning
by Ordinary Wiley.
Colonel Wiley this morning received the
first consignment of Blount’s form book.
A few days ago he received a letter stat
ing that the publishers had been instructed
to send the first consignment of these
books to Bibb county as a compliment to
the author, Mr. Jaimes H. Biount, Jr.
The books are ready for distribution 'and
will be very gladly received by. the differ

CHECK FOR $25.
Came in This Morning From an Unexpected
Source.
The News received today a letter from
Mr. Alfred F. Harley, consulting engineer
for the Natural Rock Asphalt Paving Co.,
inclosing his check for $25 'to be given as
his company's donation to the Macon hos
pital fund.
Mr. Hauler's donation is entirely unex
pected and is. therefore, all the more to be
appreciated. The cheek was turned over
to Mr. S. R. Jaques, chairman of the fund,
and that gentleman expressed his warm
appreciation of .Mr. Harley’s great kind
ness.
Mr. Harley is in Macon for a time with
a view to directing the attention our city
authorities and citize?>s generally to the
j natural rook asphal., which is said to be
i the finest asphalt paving material in the
| world. Even competitors handling other
i materials admit that the natural rock as
■ phalt is superior to all others where as
phhli is required, and they also agree that
j Mr. Hawley is one of the cleverest men
' engaged in this line of business.
It is hardly necessary to say that his lib
erality towards a Macon Institution has al
ready won for him the admiration even of
those who have not yet had the pleasure
of his acquaniAtanco.

News is the cheapest advertising medium

Stock Broker’s Fatal Quarrel With a Specu
lator.
Washington. March 15.—Dennis Canty,

commission, and later a partner with Her
man Van Senden, private secretary to
Secretary Carlisle in the last administra

a speculator.
It is assumed that the killing grew out
of some stock transactions and perhaps

siderable business.
