EDUCATION
ELECTS NEW PRINCIPAL
plan of Operating School
Changed. Several New
Teachers.
SANDERSVILLE, GEORGIA, JUNE 12, 1908.
VOLUME LXVIII. No. 9
a mooting of tlio Board of
Education Wednesday afternoon
prof, d■ M. Stovall, was elected
principal for the next scholastic
year to succeed Prof. Uibson. who
bashold this position for tin* paat
■ several years.
Prof. Stoval was formerly prin
cipal of the school at Donaldson-
villi' and comes to Sandorsvillc
Inglilv rcoommemlcd both as an
educator and gcntlcmnn and we
feel sure the board has made a
wise select ion.
Prof. Gibson who has made
many friends as principal id' the
eitvs school, was not an applicant
for re-election, he having decided
to give up work in tlm school
room. To a representative of Tub
JliKAin he stated that in all
probability he would enter the
practice of law at this place.
Heretofore tin* board base leeted
n principal amt allowed him to
employ such assistants .is lie saw
lit and theentireeducational fund
was disbursed by him, he having
no fixed salary. At the close of
this term they decided, however,
to place the entire school under
the direct supervision of the
board, ihotoby electing all the
teachers instead of the pineipal
alone. This new plan will, doubt
less give entire satisfaction to the
people generally.
The assistants elected wore,
Miss Ella Mitchell, Mrs. Bessie
Wood, Miss Mao Michael, Miss
•Fannie Lou Irwin, Miss Ruth
Stone, Miss Annie Coolev and
Miss Margaret Perry.

With every assurance of my profound
gratitude, I remain.

POLICEMAN BARWICK
SLIGHTLY WOUNDED.
hi Attempting to Make
an Arrest he is Shot
With Bird Shot.
Wednesday night Policemen H.
T. Bnnvick and C. E. May and
bheritl S. M. Moya went over in
the Tyboe district to arrest Ranee
\\ illifttns, a negro who was charg
ed with having drawn a pistol on
another. Williams has the repu
tation of being a dangerous man
and trouble was expected.
On arriving at the home of the
negro Mr. May went around to
the rear door and Mr. Bnnvick
and Mr. Move started in the front
door when \\ illiams appeared
in the door with a shot gun and
with an oath began shooting, the
first shot taking effect in Mr.
Banvick’s right shoulder. He
then took several shots at the
ditlerent ones of the party and
finally left the house, shooting as
he went. The officers kept up
the chase for quite a while but ho
finally made good his escape.
Mr. Barwick was able to be out
again today and says that while
the wound is painful he doesn’t
think it will give him much
trouble.
After Mr. Banviok was shot the
olHcers fired several ttmos at Wil
liams but failed to wound him.
They think, however, that they
will land him in jail in a few
days, where lie will have another
charge to answer for.
Mr. Sam Askew
Thanks his Friends.
To the People of Washington Co:
I am grateful beyond words for
your generous expression of en
dorsement at the polls last
Thursday.
I shall never forget through the
passing years that evidence of
your confidence and good will,
and shall try to the very best of
my ability to constantly express
my gratitude in more faithful and
efficient service to you all. Again
thanking you, I am,
Very truly yours,
W. Sam Askew.
TWO FAST GAMES
OF BASEBALL.

Cross Bats on the
Local Diamond.
Two of the best games of ball
played here this season were play
ed between Wrens and Sanders-
villo I uesday and Wednesday
afternoons. Both teams wore in
good trim and gave the people a
good clean game for their money.
Tuesday’s game went well with
the locals until the seventh in
ning when Wrens scored twice
and defeated Sandersville by a
score of 4 to 2. The batting was
light on both sides and the game
was fast from start to finish.
Mr. C. V. Smith of Tonnille,
umpired the game and was highly
praised by both teams for bis fair
decisions.
The batteries were, Sandersville
Voss and Walton; Wrens, Wil
liams and Denny.
The game Wednesday afternoon
was decidedly the beqt of the two,
the two teams being equally
matched. It was a hard fought
game and was won by the locals
by a score of 2 to 0.
The feature of the game was the
pitching for Sandersville by Tom
Hartley, ho having struck out
I I men. . '
