Board of Education Had No
thing to Do With Hatch
er Incident.
PERSONAL OBJECTIONS
To the Use of a Selection From the
Speech of Judge Emory Speer
at High School Exercises.
An effort is being made to create a big
sensation out of an incident of the closing
exercises of the Gresham High School at
the Academy of Music last night.
The bare facts of the matter are that Sid
ney Hatcher, one of the young men grad
uating from the school, had selcted for his
recitation a part of a speech delivered at
New Orleans by Judge Emory Speer.
When his turn came on the program he
failed to appear, and in answer to the
questions of Ms friends his relatives stated
that a member Os the Board of Education
had objected to the reading of a part of a
part of a speech delivered by Judge Em
ory Speer, and had insisted that he change
his selection.
This the young man had refused to do
and the number of the program was pass
ed.
From this statement of the fact the re
port went out all over the city last night
and this morning that The Board of Edu
cation had taken action on the matter and
that they had objected to the use of a se
lection from one of Judge Speer’s speeches.
Such is not the case, however, and every
member of the Board of Education in the
city positively denies that the Board had
anything to do with the matter, and they
were as much surprised as anyone else
when they found that Hatcher was not to
deliver his speech. . ■
It can be stated positively that the Board
had nothing to do with it in any way.
It is a fact, however, that Colonel R. A.
Nisbet, as an individual, and for reasons
best known to himself, objected to the
choice of the selection, and so told Hatch
er, so his mother says.
But there is no evidence a all, nor is it
to be supposed that Colonel N'isbet had any
objection as the president of the Bpard of
Education to the selection which Hatcher
proposed to give to the public.
Colonel Nisbet may have had his per
sonal objections and his private reasons
for objecting, and it is more than likely
that he will explain his private and per
sonal reasons when he returns home if he
sees fit to do so. Otherwise the public will
be left in ignorance.
Hatcher and his relatives evidently'
thought that it was an action taken by
the Board of Education, and this idea was
taken up by the friends of Judge Speer
this morning. They thought that the judge
had been Insulted by the whole Board of
Education, and there was much wild talk
of indignation meetings and other evi
dences of their loyalty to their friend.
The indignation meeting talk, however,
disappeared when it was found that the
Board of Education had nothing whatever
to do with it and that the members of the
board knew nothing of the matter.
None of the members of the board who
could be seen this morning cared to talk.
They preferred to wait, and, in fact, it is
not at all probable that they will feel it
incumbent on them to give any expression
of opinion unless they wish to do so as ■
private individuals. i
Colonel ‘R. A. Nisbet, Judge A. L. Miller
and Mr. Washington Dessau, all members
of the Board of Education, went up to
Griffin this morning to be present at the
meeting of the congressional convention,
and Colonel Nesbit,went to say goodbye to
his three boys who are in the First reg- ;
iment.
It would seem, however, as if a moun- ;
tain had been made out of a mole hill, and
that the matter will be forgotten in a very i
short time.
As a matter of fact the public has noth
ing to do with the private opinion that an ■
individual may have as to the fitness or j
unfitness of a selection to be delivered at I
graduating exercises, and while no doubt
everyone regrets that for a moment it
should be thought that the Board of Edu
cation had taken any action on the matter,
it is more than probable that anxious en
quirers can hear from Colonel Nisbet on
the subject when he returns.
There was talk among the friends of
Judge Speer and those who misunderstood
tlm situation this morning, of holding a
meeting at which Hatcher was to be In
vited to deliver the recitation and Judge
iSpeer would be asked to introduce him, but
such idea was soon dispelled and
it is not probable that anything further
will Ire done about the matter, which will
“peter out.” 4 (II

MACON NfWS FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 17 1898.
MACON GETS HER
SHAREJF OFFICE
At the Banker’s Convention,
Which Came to a Close
in Tybee Last Night.
CUSTOMERS AND WAR TAX.
Bankers Determined that They Will
Not Bear Any of the Burden
But Customers Must.
The Macon delegates to the Bankers’
Convention have returned home. At the
close of the convention last night the
bankers decided to make the customers and
not the banks pay the bank war tax.-
The following resolution was offered and
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That as the government re
quires makers to stamp all checks, bills
Oi exchange, notes, etc., that each member
of this association so inform his customers
and urge their cheerful complance.”
This means that the customers will all
be called on for the tax. The resolution
is so worded, however, that the banks do
not have to force it, and there is a loop
hole for the banks which might have
strong competition against them to fur
nish themselves the stamps which their
customers use. The majority of the bank
ers said, however, that they intended to
have their customers furnish their stamps,
and one banker, Mr. J. G. Rhea, of Griffin,
said he intended to act just as he did after
it'he war, furnishing books of stamped
checks in numbers of 100 for $2.25, which
is $2 for the stamps and 25 cents for the
checks.
The association elected the following of
ficers to serve for the following year:
President, 'W. G. Cann, of Savannah.
Vice Presidents—First, J. G. Rhea, of
Griffin.
Second, P. E. 'May, of Augusta.
Third, E. H. Thornton, of Atlanta.
Fourth, B. W. Hunt, of Eatonton.
Fish, S. W. Peek, of Hartwell.
Secretary, L>. P. Hillyer, Macon.
Treasurer, George H. Plant, Macon.
Executive council—F. T. Hardwick
chairman; R. A. Graves, of Spartg; T. ©.
Meadows, of Atlanta: Thomas Easou. of
Mcßae; G. A. Speer, F. Bloodworth, of
Savannah; W. B. Slade, of Columbus; A.
J. Carver, of Dawson, and Charles D.
Hurt, of Macon.
Delegates to American Bankers’ Associa
tion —J. S. Davis, of Albany, and W. S.
Witham, of Atlanta.
