rium and Held Profit
able Session.
SANDERSVILLE, GEORGIA, FEBRUARY, 5 1908.
ESTABLISHED 1841
SENATE RESOLUTION
EXPRESSES CONDOLENCE
On Death of the King and
Crown Prince of
Portugal.
Washington County’s Teachers As
sociation met at the Academy on Sat
urday morning at 10o’clock Pres. John
Gibson presided. Hon. John N. Rogprs
offered the opening prayer. After roll
call and the reading of the minutes by
the secretary Mies Nettie Davis the
program was begun. The work of the
Pupil in the Preparat ion of the lesson :
was ably handled by Miss Danevant of
Tennille and Miss Mitchell of Banders-
ville the discussion of the topic was led
by Mr. Gibson, followed by Mr. T. J.
Davis and Mr. Wade Wood. Next was
faults of both, Teacher and pupil in
poor Recitation. "An attentive and
interested pupil is the joy of ft teacher"
"An indifferent teacher fails in her
work’’ were two propositions ably dis
cussed and elaborated in a fine paper
by Miss McDonald of Tennille. The
second paper on the topio was by Miss
Lizzie Clark. She stated that the teach
er who does not supplement what na
ture, that great teacher, has begun will
make a failure. Both ladies gave very
Valuable suggestions with regard to oh
taming the best results from a recita
tion. "To wl at extent the parent may
interfere with the teaching of the
child.” Miss Lizzie Smith led off the
discussion. Shu deplored the habit of
criticising the teacher in the presence
of pupils. She gave some pertinent
questions on the problem of how much
to teach poorly advunced children.
Miss Nettie Davis, Mr. T. .1 Davis, Mr.
Gibson and Mr. Wood all gave valuable
suggestions. Cultivating proper In
centives to student and right doing
was well and earnestly treated by Miss
Pinkie Walker.
The second paper on th^s subject
wan written and read by Miss Alma
Carrere. She discussed the tiresome
nature of the child and argued that the
proper incentives to equal development
of each was to be accomplished by the
kind thoughtful teacher giving proper
training to the child Mr. Wood tilled
a few minutes of time with miscella
neous business. Among which was an
announcement of the medal offered by
the U. D. C. of Ua., for the best essay
on "livonts of the Confederacy in
1802.”
By invitation of Pres. Gibson and
Mr. Wood, Hon. John N. Rogers ad
dressed the ansemlly. He touchingly
referred to the thinned ranKs of the
old teachers and the filling in of the
vacancies by young people even of
whom he taught their letters. Pie
spoke of the sacredness of the teachers’
profession of their responsibility before
God for the work done in the lives of
the children entrused to their care
Two negatives and one affirmative
that go to make up pedagogy, said the
speaker, and these: never teach the
child what lie already knows; never
t-ach a child what he does not want to
know ; the trur teacher will create the
proper want. Finding out what tho
child knows is not true teaching. Text
book questions nre not the ones to use.
Telling is not teaching; do not give too
much information. Education is not
the being able to answer abstract ques
tions ; don’t make parrots of children.
His address was replete with helpful,
hopeful suggestions. Teach children
that education is the correcting of mis
takes aud the changing of opinions.
Progress is education in its highest
6ense. The rural teacher of today must
assume responsibilities that were un
known a generation ago. The teacher
now is held as the model for the com
munity. The laxity of home govern
ment makes the teacher’s work greater,
the child has to he taught by the teach
er self government and obedience to
law, because in so many homes the
child, instead of the parent controls.
The Christian’s standard a generation
hence will he the life of the teacher. In
closing Mr. Rogers said, "Bo if you
would realize your power, your respon
sibility, your accountability before
God, yon will have to prepare yourself
for assuming the leadership of chil
dren to the upward life, to the saving
of souls as well as educating the in
tellects.”
Every teacher present felt the truth
of his statements and the weight of his
masterful words. It is a pity that the
parents do not visit the Teachers In
stitute.
Among the visitors at the Institute
Saturday were: Prof. J. N. Rogers of
Atlanta, Mr. J L. Hall; Misses Ouida
Nunn, Lilly Paradice, Mattie May Ren
froe.

Washington, Feb. 8.—The sen
ate today adopted without debate
a resolution offered by Senator
Cullotn, chairman of the commit
tee on foreign relations, as fol
lows :
"Resolved, That the death by
unlawful and inhuman violence
of the king and crown princo of
Portugal is sincerely deplored by
the senate of the United States of
America.
"Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be delivered to the
presidout of the United States
with the request that ho commu
nicate the same to the government
of Portugal.”
Never Stops.
The minister was addressing tho
Sunday school. "Children, 1 want
to talk to you for a few moments
about one of the most wonderful
one of tho most important organs
in tho whole world,” ho said.
"What as it that throbs away,
boats away, nevo^stopping, never
ceasing, whether you wake or
sleep, night or day, week in and
week out, month in anil month
out, year in and year out, without
any volition on your part, hidden
away in the depth, as it were, un
seen by you, throbbing, throbbing,
throbbing rhythmically all your
life long?” During this pause for
oratorical effect a small voice was
heard: "I know: it’s the meter.”

MRS. SALL1E fREENEY
•ASKS FOR PARDON.
State Prison Board Heard
Attorneys for Convict*
ed Woman.
The stuto prison commission
commenced its February hearings
Monday morning with the appli
cation of Mrs. Sallie Freeney,
convicted of murder and sentenc
ed in the superior court of Dodge
county to lifo imprisonment, for
pardon. Mrs. Freeney was repre
sented by John F. DeLacy, of
Eastman, and John R. Cooper,
of Macon, while the state was
represented by W. M. Morrison,
solicitor of tho city court of East
man. Mr. Cooper was heard
Monday morning, aud at the con
clusion of his speech, tho commis
sion adjourned until Tuesday
morning, when Mr. DeLacy and
Mr. Morrison will speak.
Mrs. Freeney was convicted in
Dodge county of killing W. P.
Harrell, and op the trial was sen
tenced to imnjfj^ppmeiit for life.
The ease carried to the su
preme rmurt op a motion for new
trial, and the very uuusual situa
tion developed that three of the
justic s favored tho new trial
bile three opposed it. By oper
ation of law, an equally divided
bench sustains the verdict of the
ower court. Nothing therefore
rnained to be done but to ask
tho clemency of the prison com
mission.

The Postmaster desires to call atten
tion to the practice of some patrons of
rural delivery of placing loose ooius in
their boxes each time they desire to dis
patch letters instead of supplying them
selves^with postage iu advance of their
needs.
This practice imposes undue hardship
on rural carriers iu romoving loose coins
from boxes and delays them on tho ser
vice of theirroutes
Tho postmaster, therefore, urgently
requests that patrons of rural delivery
provide themselves aud keep on hand a
supply of stamps consistent with and in
advance of their needs. It is also very
dosirnble that rural patrons place in their
mail boxes small detachable cups of
wood or tin in which to place coins
when necessary, iu purchasing supplies
of stamps.
Carriers are supplied at all times with
stamps, stamp books, postal cards and
stamped envelopes for each route with
blank lines for your return. All yon
have to do is to add your name in the
space provided for that purposes.
Very respectfully,

Into Dry States.
Louisville, Ky., Jan. 31.—An
nouncement lias been made by
the Louisville and Nashville rail
road that it will no longer receive
shipments of liquor into Georgia

called in question by a suit filed
in the Federal court of Indiana
affecting the practice us carried
on between Indiana points and
points in Kentucky, which have
voted against tho sale of liquors.
The road will continue to refuse
such shipments, at least until the
principles involved have been
passed on in court

AS it 'ever occurred to you who are superstitious about tho
number "18,” that almost daily you iuny r be carrying
around with you a piece of money that is just full of
thirteens? Just take a look at n quarter of a dollar, anil
you will note thirteen letters in the words "quarter dollar,”
thirteen arrow heads, thirteen feathers in the eagle’s wing,
thirteen parallel bars on the ehield, thirteen letters in the
scroll in the eagle’s beak, thirteen stars, thirteen horizontal
stripes and thirteen leaves iu the olive branch. If this in
formation happens to be new to you, and you are 'supersti
tious about keeping quarters, wo would add that you may
send from one to a dozen of them to Hitt’s Market, San-
dersville, Ga., anil ho will take them in exchange for the
best meat to be found in this city, and you will then-be
relieved of coins of that denomination.
