Thursday, June 11, 1914. For Congressman W. A. CHARTERS Os Hall County. CHARTERS FOR CONGRESS. Hou. W. A. Charters has an nounced his candidacy for Congress, and the Eagle will give him its un qualified support. We will support him because he is, first of all. a clean man —a man. personally and politically, in all the walks of life, absolutely above re proach. We will support him because he is a statesman —a man of pre-emi nent and commanding ability. The above propositions are not disputed by any one. The most ar dent supporters of Mr. Bell readily acknowledge this. And we have heard it said hun dreds of times, “Charters is too clean a man to be elected to Con gress.” Which is a sad commentary on modern politics. Col. Charters has entered actively into the canvass, with a determina tion to win. He will appeal only to the intelligence and patriotism and conscience of the voter. With him there will be no pandering to the petty and ignoble prejudices—for he is above such methods. We believe a majority of the voters of the Ninth District want a change. We believe they have arrived at the conclusion that ten years is long enough to wait for thorough proof of a man’s inefficiency. BROTHER BELL IN BAD HUMOR. Last Saturday afternoon when Toni Bell got word from his hench men here that Col. Charters had announced for Congress he got very much out of humor aud declared it a ‘‘frame up.” Well, now, the only frame up there is, or has been, is that both Charters and Holder will not run this year. No, it will not be possible for Bell to again fool Holder into running. Bell did that two years ago. He made Holder a solemn promise that he (Bell) would not be in the race. Not only that, but he worked him self into Holder's confidence and secured his plans tor the campaign— who were his friends, where he was the strongest, etc. Having done this, with Charters and Holder in the held, Mr. Bell announced his candidacy. How is that for a frame-up? And if we mistake not, there is a sort of a frame-up between Brother Bell and Brother Watkins. Bell in duced Watkins to run so as to take Gilmer county away from the enemy, knowing he could not carry it him self. Bell is helping Dr. Watkins’ son to get the post-office at Ellijay,with the understanding that the Dr. is to continue the race through. Os course Bell’s support is not -amounting to much (as usual), Mr. Tankesly, the opponent of young Watkins, having already received the appointment. But Bell ‘‘hopes” to defeat the confirmation of Tankesly, and has written Dr. Wat kins for all the “dope” he can get up against Tankesly. As long as this matter is hung up, Dr. Watkins will feel obligated to hang on to his candidacy in Bell’s interest. Brother Bell D the last man in the world to talk about a frame-up. Visiting in Athens. Mrs. Susan M. Lampkin left last week for Athens, where she will be guest this month of her son, Dr. E. A. Lampkin, ami other relatives and friends. Wil! Attend Convention. Mr. \V. J. Ramsey will leave next Tuesday for Atlanta, to attend the National Photographers’ Conven tion, which convenes there for five days. Off for Poinrs East. Miss Jeanette Evans left yester day for New York, where she will be guest of friends for a few weeks. She will also visit many other points of interest East before return ing In me. Called to Athens. Mr. J. W. McElhannon, of'the W. J. & E. C. Palmour department store, was called to Athens Tuesday afternoon to the bedside of his moth er. Mrs. Frank McElhannon, who is in a serious condition from rheuma tism of the heart. WANTS TO KNOW WHY PRIS- ON COMMISSION HAS NOT PASSED ON CANTRELL CASE. John R. Cooper, Attorney for Wilburn, Inti mates Thers is a “Scheme” To Save Cantrells and Hang His Client. From Macon Telegraph. John R. Cooper, attorney for Nick Wilburn, who is under sentence of death Friday, unless Governor Slaton commutes his sentence, wants to know why the prison commission, who declined to recommend Wil burn for commutation, has not passed on the case of the Cantrell boys, from Gainesville, who are under sentence of death on June 29. ft is the expressed opinion of At torney Cooper that the Cantrell boys are not to be made to pay the death penalty, and he declares that Judge Jones, who presided at the trial of the case, has reccommended to Governor Slaton that their sen tence be commuted. “The only difference between the Wilburn case and the Cantrell case,” said Attorney Cooper yester day, “is that the woman in the Can trell case is a little better looking than the one in the Wilburn case. The woman was to blame in each case.” Attorney Cooper relates an alleged conversation he had with Judge Jones, of Gainesville, in which the latter told him of a conveisation he had with Governor Slaton about the Cantrell case. “Judge Jones told me that Gover nor Slaton called him over the tele phone and asked him if in his (Judge Jones’) opinion the respite for the Cantrell boys should be granted,” says Mr. Cooper. .“Judge Jones told me that he told the governor that he should shoulder that resposibility himself, but that if he wanted his opinion about the case, he would say that the Cantrell boys should not be hung.” Attorney Cooper is firm in his be lief that the Cantrell boys, in a case he declares to be identical with the one of the Wilburn case, are not to be hung. In his speech before the prison commission Mr. Cooper de clared that it was strange that the commission had not passed on the Cantrell case, as they are to hang June 29, before the commission meets again, and he declares that it is his belief that it is the plan to hold the Cantrell cases up until after Wilburn has been hung and then secure them a commutation. Tiie decision of the prison commis sion and the governor, thinks the Macon lawyer, should be made known in the Cantrell ease before Wilburn's sentence is carried into effect. Attorney Cooper does not think that the Cantrell boys should hang. He declares that the woman was to blame, tor like Mrs. King, who says, “by flattery of the her lips forced Wilburn to kill her husband,” she got the Cantrell boys to make way with her husband. “The only difference between the Cantrell case andthe Wilburn case.” said Attorney Cooper yesterday, “is that in the Wilburn case the judge and solicitor are trying to hang him, while in the Cantrell case they are endeavoring to save the defendants.” Mr. Cooper commented on H. H. Dean, attorney for the Cantrell boys, being Governor Slaton’s “right hand man,” and lie saw in the delay in the Cantrell case a scheme to save those boys and hang Wilburn, by not passing on the Cantrell case before Wilburn is hung. Guest of Parents. Mrs. Jesse H. Lamb of Kirkwood is guest of her parents. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Harrison, on Sycamore street, for a week or ten days. Scrappilers Have Guests. Sunday, June 7th, being the an niversary of the care of an orphan at the Home in Decatur by the Scrap Pile Class of the First Methodist Sunday School, begun three years ago, this day was made a red letter day for the class by having with them as their guests Miss Julia Os born, the young girl assigned the class, and Miss Imogene Hawkins, daughter of Superintendent Haw kins, who accompanied Mis< Os born. It was with no small degree oi pleasure that the class had been looking forward to this occasion. And the young ladies expressed themselves as being delighted with their trip to our city, and the hearty welcome extended them by the class. The Scrap Pile has a membership of 4S men ranging in age from 20 to 75 years, with an average attend ance of 35. They feel that this oc casion will prove a stimulus to the class to press forward more earnestly in the work they have taken up. The monthly contributions to this cause have grown with it. Two children are being taken care of, while only one has been assigned them.

Brother Style Buffing ton, and that is a cinch. They just won’t get lost. Sunday afternoon it was reported to them that a quintet of negroes were gaming over in the vicinity of Athens street, and they proceded to get busy. The negroes were Dave Moore, Lum Kelly, Will Phillips, Henry Murphey and Geo. Jones. They were at the home of Dee Johnson having an A-l, all wool and a yard-wide crap game when the officers stepped in and pronounced the benediction. And in the meantime they had the sen tinels on each side of the house, but the sentinels were not expecting danger from an auto, and the offi cers were almost in the house before the foolish sentinels were thoroughly aroused. And now they are languishing in jail, and all on account of the Sher iffs automobile. APPEAL THAT SHOULD AVAIL Matrimonial Advertisement of Pitts burg Man Certainly Most Ingen iously Worded. A Pittsburg paper prints this mat rimonial advertisement: “A home less and inoffensive man, whom fate has chased into Pittsburg, would like to find a sanctuary for himself and his bull pup. The man is house broke, but the dog is not. The man requires occasional access to a bath tub and meals at reasonable inter vals.

He has been Taken in’ be fore and is rattling the dice box again in the hope of throwing an ace instead of a deuce. His musical taste is impartial, and records range from Caruso to Ada Jones.

Since the attempt was begun to In tro luce Industrial education In the pub lic schools, the greatest difficulty hns been experienced in securing compe tently trained teachers for such sub jects. The newspapers recently car ried a story from New York to the ef ic t that, the board of Aslueation of that city were at their wits’ end in an effort to secure teachers for the in dustrial branches. Similar items have *o:ne from other cities, and the dearth is even mon? pronounced in the south, perhaps, than in other sections of the < on n try. In this connection it is an interesting fact that George Peabody College For Teachers at Nashville, Tenn., has mads rather elaborate preparations for meefr- /it" I Uli V** ’ I 'Ww I A / \■ ■ y 1 I Sr \ / p NO.

It would probably have been forever impossible to estab lish industrial education in the public schools of the south unless such an in stiui’ion as George Pea body College For Teachers had first dignified and emphasized industrial education. Ir. preparing to meet the need before it the practical arts department of Geo.ge Peabody College For Teachers l;.;s done some things that are unique. In equipping the buildings Dr. R. W.
