But the Board of Education han decided to try It in all classes , the Normal school Inclu ded. The main object in teaching the sys tem to the Normal school pupils is that In th© future they will be required to teach the system themselves.

The Junior class this year will be largely occupied with the theoretical side of teach ing. and the seniors will devote themselves principally to observation and actual teaching The curriculum of the Normal school will be almost the same as last year.

OA.oTon.i-a.. Bmm the Kmd Yo» Hare Always Beiigtt IT IS NOT SAFE, SAYS BEN JONES Will Give Five Thousand Dol lars to the Hospital if Pronounced Safe. FAIR-MINDED MAN, Chairman of County Commissioners is of Opinion That the Countv Does Not Own the Bridge. “It will give five thousand dollars to the hospital if the river bridge is pronounced safe by any fair-minded man after an in spection of the structure.” That is what Mr Ben Jones, of East Macon, has to say on the subject and he has made as close an investigation of the bridge as any one. both before it was re paired and since that time. The bridge question is still agitating the minds of th© people of East Macon, and they are not at all satisfied with the pres ent bridge. It is true that some repairs have been made, but they amount to prac tically nothing as the timbers between the new bat anil the rock pier are almost as rotten as the abutment. The people of East Macon ridicule the idea of the bridge belonging to the county commissioners and they seem to be of the same opinion as Chairman Davis about the matter, and that is it seems strange that the city should have kept the bridge in re pair sc long a time if it belonged to the county. It is known that the bridge was built by the city and that it was used as a toll bridge for some time, but it is a mystery to citizens of both places how it came to belong 'to he county. Chairman Davis was seen again yester day afternoon in regard to the matter and was asked if he had made any investiga tion of the affair. "No,” he said, “it is not my duty to do so; but It is the duy of Smith & Winship, the county attorneys, should the matter come up. I do not think that there is any thing in the report that, we own the bridge, and we are certainly not going to take it unless It is forced on us, and then we will make a fight. We. do not want the bridge at. all.” "I know that a new bridge is necessary and think that the city should build one at once. While the present bridge may not be dangerous it docs not prevent the city from building a new one.” City Attorney Minter Wimberly could not be seen as he was at Indian Spring, and his view on the matter could not be ob tained. It looks now as If the East Macon people will probably get a new bridge, as the mayor has said that they shall have It. That they want it goes without saying, and they will be exceedingly glad to get it. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, 8. D.

In obedience to Dr. Schweninger’s or ders Pinnnow gave him a small glass of champagne and mineral water "More, more." he groaned. Pinnow said: "I am not allowed, your serene highness.*' The prince then said: "But. my dear Pinnow, Chrysander is not here now.” Pinnow hes itated and Bismarck said imploringly: f ’My dear, good Pinnow, were you never <mce ill when you were a little boy’ Well, you know how one feels when one is thirsty and not allowed to drink ” Pinnow eould not resist this fervent ap peal and gave the patient a large glassful. Bismarek drank it eagerly and then .slowly knd peacefully expired. MR, C. C. SIMS ILL. His Mother and Brother Left for His Bedside Last Night.

The Trade’s Display committee the Carnival Association has decided to com mence work Tuesday on a canvass of the whole city for floats. Chairman Benson said yesterday that the committee was composed of men who did not know’ the definition of the word fail. He says that if any of the merchants who intend to have floats will notify the committee voluntarily that It will be ap preciated as the committee will be very much rushed as it is and that they will need all the assistance possible. Probably 200 floats will be in the Trade’s Display and many of the merchants have already had beautiful floats ordered. At a meeting of the patriotic committee several days ago It was decided that it would be a good idea to have an “Uncle Sam” and "Miss Columbia" In the parade. This feature is entirely new and will no doubt prove to be popular. Plans were also discussed as to how to receive the king each day during the Car nival but none could be agreed upon. The question will be decided at the next meet ing of the Patriotic committee. Mr. G. A. Macdonald, of the advertising committee, had a poster yesterday, of which 10,000 have been ordered. On the poster Is shown the battle of Manila. It is a very attractive advertisment of the flreworks' display and will no doubt draw attention. President Waxelbaum receives over 200 letters daily in regard to the Carnival and is kept busy answering them. The letters are from all sections of the country and many are from people w’ho want to put up shows here. President Waxelbaum says that in the War and Peace spectacle that every state in the Union will be represent ed by a young lady who will carrry the flag of the state which she represents. The governors of all df the states have consented to furnish the flags for the occa sion. The arrangements for the Carnival ball, which promises to be the most brilliant social event ever held in Macon, have not been completed but it Is understood that it will be conducted similar to the one last year. President Waxelbaum says that things are booming. 'He says that everybody seems interested and that the people are doing all in their power to assist the as sociation in its work. He says that the visitors to the city during the Carnival will double those of last year. Bears the The Kind You Haw Always Bought (Signature / Fresh turnip seed at H. J. Lamar & Sons,Second street, next to Old Curiosity Shop. South Macon Dots Some time during last night a hog thief drove his wagon into the alley between the Mansfield property and the residence of Mrs. Ed. H. Shinholser, stealing from the lot of Mrs. Shinholser a porker weigh ing nearly 200 pounds, carrying the same off in his wagon. The wagon was tracked to the house of a negro peddler; the hog was not found, however. Constable Rodgers arrested the man and carried him to the lot and asked him to place his foot in tracks made in the yard last night, evi dently by the thief. This the negro refused to do. He was then brought to the city and locked up for future reference. Mrs. Shinholser lives on Ellis street, South Macon. Her husband, Ed. Shinholser, a locomotive engineer, is now running on one of the Western roads leading out of Birmingham, Ala., said city being his headquarters and adopted home. It is believed that the officer has ar rested the right man for the thief. He has strong circumstantial evidence against him which he proposes to link with posi tive evidence obtained and obtainable and has every reason to believe that a con viction will follow. “Smith.” We are now fully prepared to serve our friends at our quarters, Second street.

Its little face and hands were al most transparent and the breath that came and went seemed almost nearly to leave the fragile little body. The mother looked lovingly into its blue eyes with a heart full of anxiety. The reported didn’t know the mother, but he could hardly repress the inclination to tell her that the little one was slowly dying from the effects of artificial food. Had not the conventionalities of life for bid he would have said: "Madam, take that little baby to your breast and nurse It back to life. If you do not afford enough nourishment go to drink ing Acme Malt Tonic. It will increase and enrich the supply of milk and in two weeks time you won't know your baby. For the benefit of the poor, sick little baby it is to be hoped that the mother re ferred to w’ill see this and take warning before it is too late.
