4 NEW Miss Grace Ketner, of Leaven- Worth, Kansas, Elected to Fill Miss Moore’s Place. 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.

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 man meting. John M. Brown: secretary.

What is Going On in Society.: The Free Kindergarten Association met i yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the Public Library, with Mrs. R. E. Park pre- I siding. A committee consisting of Mrs. I Mallory Taylor. Mrs. WaMaee McCaw and ■ Mrs. A. L. Milter, was apointed to nomi nate officers for the coming year. The nomination and elettifen resulted in the unanimous re-election of those already in office. These officers are, President, Mrs. R. E. Park; first vice president. Mrs. C. B. j Willingham; second vice president, Mrs. H. M. Wortham; secretary, Miss Essie Deitz; treasurer, Mrs. E. J. Willingham. Auditor, Mrs. M. J. Hatcher. Miss (Maude Blount Campbell was present and gave aa interesting report of the pro 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 Pansy Circle. The generous offer was ac cepted, and the members of the Pansj’ Cir cle will sell tickets «to the matinee. The price will <be 25 and 10 cents, 'and as the entertainment is especially amusing to children, the balcony will be reserved for them and their nurses. The Pansy Circle now have S2O in the treasury and are ar ranging to give an Easter Egg hunt to the children of the kindergarten. • * • The Ballad Concert at Wesleyan last night was a brilliant success both musi cally and financially, and the audience listened t'o songs from the sweetest sing ers in 'Macon. • * • The Young (Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Free Kindergarten Association will have an important meeting Saturday morning at the Public Library. Officers will be elec ted for the coming year. • • • 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. * * * Miss Florrie Coleman has returned from a visit to her sister in Texas.

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.
