- The Sandersville Herald. $1.00 PER YEAR. 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. Card of Appreciation.

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.
