IS A 'TEMPEST iy_TEAPOT 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 Mr. P. Ketchum of Fike City. Cal., says: “During my brother’s late sickness from sciatic rheumatism Chamberlain’s Pain Balm was the only remedy that gave him any relief.” Many others have testified to the prompt relief from pain which this liniment affords.

I 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.
