MISS MARTHA BERRY PLANS SCHOOL FOR
YOUNG GIRLS OF GEORGIA MOUNTAINS
Institution Which Has Been
Doing Great Work Is Organ
ized in Permanent Form
• Special Dispatch to The Journal'.
ROME. Ga.. March 18- Picturesque tn
Its beginning. and big with the promise
of a useful career, the Martha Berry
School for Girls, the first institution of
its kind in the south, has just been or
ganized in permanent form. In plan and
purpose the girls’ school is siimilar to
that of the Berry school, famous through
out the United States as a splendid in
dustrial school for mountain boys. In
brief, it is to take poor girls from the
mountain districts of the south, who
have few or no advantages and oppor
tunities. into the model home provided in
a building erected for their own use,
and train them for useful and happy lives
in their own homes.
STARTS IN SHANTY.
The Martha Berry School for Girls is
the answer to the question so often asked
Miss Berry In her travels throughout the
country. “What are you doing for the
girls; they need training as much as the
boys?" The girls' school began in much
the tame way as the boys’ school, now
an established Institution with 180 stu
dents. Each originated as a Sunday
school. The new girls' school had its be
ginning in a Sunday school started by
Miss Berry tn an old shanty, containing
but one room, for the children of the
renters on the farms surrounding the
boys’ scnool. There were 30 or 30 chil
dren within a short radius, who attended
neither week-day nor Sunday school, be
cause there was neither to he attended.
The shanty was made attractive without,
and comfortable within, a teacher for
the day school was secured, and a mem
ber of the faculty of the boys’ school ap
pointed to take charge of the Sunday
school. Thus the work for the children
at “Sunshine Shanty" began, and the
chi’dren from all the country round
flocked there.
As the work grew, means were found
to care for it. and the .picturesque log
house shown in the accompanying illus
tration was built, giving room for a
dozen students and three teachers. Every
place has been filled and there are dozens
of others seeking admission.

FROM SOME OF ITS SERVANTS
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON. D. C., March 18,-The
United States government has placed
a stamp of disapproval of hirsute
adornments of all kinds. Indeed, so
strong is the prejudice against whis
kers, mustaches, etc., that the tiniest
mustache precludes the possibility of its
owner entering a certain branch of the
government service. It is insisted, how
ever, that the gtrirnment has not en
tered Into any conspiracy with the man
ufacturer of any safety razor, although
it is conceded that this latest step is but
another evidence of the growing unpopu
larity of hairy faces.
The ruling against hirsute adornments
is not one of Dr. iTarvey W. Wiley’s
latest moves, nor is it any new and
novel military or naval requirement. It
has the indorsement of the United
States senate itself. Indeed, the regu-

SHAVES ARE NECESSARY.
Coming right dowfi to cases, the rules
committe of the United States senate,
which controls the restaurant that sup
plies the senators, the senate employes
and the public with their midday meals,
has ordered that no waiter be employed
in the restaurant who does shave at least
once a day.
Nineteen negroes have been made to
feci the effect of the order, and. needless
to say. 13 negroes appear for work every
morning with shiny faces. The rule ap
plied to "Sex" the faithful old darky,
whose "I years' continuous service never
caught him without a stubby little mus

rather, unusual appearance it gave this

The senate restaurant is operated un

as stated, and the purpose of the com

food, character of the service and rnain-

much complaint about the service, al
though Dick Shaw, the negro who has
general supervision, and who is, in fact,
chief cook and bottle-washer, has done
his best.

After worrying along for months with

the waiters on the rolls of the senate, as
employes of the government, to be com

per month.
The committee decided, also, that no
man who wore a mustache or whiskers
should be employed as a waiter. Until
that eventful decision became known,
most of the waiters wore mustaches, or
whiskers. There were, however, a de
mand for razors last Monday, and when
the men appeared they shaved clean.

PLAN FARM STATION
AT FEDERAL PRISON
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON. March 17.—After a con
ference with Congressman Livingston, O.
B. Ladow. superintendent of prisons of
the department of justice, has taken under
consideration the advisability of having
an agricultural experiment station estab
lished at Atlanta in connection with the
federal prison. In the event the plar
meets with the approval of Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham, to whom it will be sub
mitted, the department of agriculture will
be urged to make adequate provision for
the station.
It is believed that an experimental ag
ricultural station at the federal prison will
prove of inestimable, value not only to the
United States government, but the farm
ers of Georgia. The plan contemplates
that the 2W acres of land in the prison en
closure shall be cultivated by the pris
oners, who are to be instructed by ex
perts detailed by the agricultural depart
ment.
A CHANCE TO MAKE MOKIT
Yes. elegant free homsteads can
still be had in Mexico where many
Americans are now locating. You need
not go to Mexico, but are required to
have five acres of fruit trees planted
within five years. Eor information ad
dress the Jantha Plantation Co., Block
580 Pittsburg, Pa. They will plant and
care for your trees on shares, so you
should make a thousand dollars a year.
It is never hot, never cold. The health
conditions are perfect.
All first-class hotels and restaurants en
force such a rule.
"The idea comes from the French. I
am informed. The French waiters used
to wear fancy mustaches, curled and well
kept, but the French dishes used to tempt
the waiters and they were wont to fre
quently sample the dishes before they’
served them. In many Instances, the
waiter would neglect to wipe off the mus
tache and the unmistakable evidence that
hfa favorite dish had been sampled by
the waiter would anger the patron. Hence
it was decided, years pgo, to oulaw the
mustache."
M NEGROES LYNCHED
Bi HUMS CROWDS
Men, Alleged to Have Aided
Jail Delivery, Are Hanged in
Court House Square
MARION. Ark., March 18.—Bob Austin
and Charles Richardson, negroes, were
lynched at an earty hour this morning
in the court house square by a mob of
300 citizens. The victims were charged
with aiding and abetting a jail delivery
which occurred here Monday night.
Richardson was arrested in Memphis
jesterday and was brought here early
Inst night. While on the way to the
local jail a mob overpowered Sheriff Lew
is and secured the prisoner. He con
fessed to complicity in aiding tlie es
cape of prisoners and implicated Bob
Austin. The latter was immediate!}’ ap
prehended and it looked as If the tremb
ling prisoners would be hanged on the
spot. Cooler counsel prevailed, however,
and the two men were given over to
the sheriff.
At 3 o’clock this morning a mob quiet
ly formed and marched to jail. The ne
groes were secured and hanged to a tree
in front of the court house. The mob
was orderly and went about its work in
businesslike fashion. v
The bodies of the victims were cut
down at 7 o'clock today and were turned
over to negro friends for burial.
During the night several boys stoned
negro residents which led to the report
that an attack was being made on these
people. All is quiet today.

Thia Is Annt Nancy Phillips standing beside the old brown spinning wheel
which she has used for more than 50 years and on which her mother spun be
fore her.
In a little clearing among the pin trees
on a hillside not far from the corner of
West Peachtree and 16th streets, form
ing a strange contrast to the modern
lawns and dwellings which have grown
up around it, nestles a tiny cabin, un
touched of time.
The footpath winding toward it leads
straight into the long ago.
Inside the open doorway sits an old
woman at her spinning wheel. Twiilight
shadows are falling as she spins, and the
evening wind among the treetops mur
murs a whispering answer to the whir
ring reel; the purple sunset splendor
fades from the western sky, while dark
ening shadows creep in across the floor,
but still the wheel whirls, still the un
broken thread winds back and forth Up
on the spindle.
More than half a century long is that
slender thread, as long as a human life.
A young girl fastened it first upon the
reel and dreamed a maiden s dream as
she watched it twist and lengthen, catch
ing in its fibres the perfume of many 4
new-blown rose, the breath of many a
May. But the Maytime of the spinner's
life h«a sped and the roses have been
faded many a year. She is a gray
haired woman now; her work is almost
done; slower and slower the wheel
swings, lower and lower the reel rings,
but the thread still holds.
Her fingers have lost none of their
light touch; they are still delicately, won
derfully deft.
"Does the thread never break, Aunt
Nancy?'’ asked a visitor who had come
at twilight to bide an hour with the aged
dame.
"Aye, that it dues, sometimes, but it is
quickly mended—unless—unless ”
"Unless what, Aunt Nancy?”
The old woman mused in silence for a
while and then began to speak, slowly,
to the soft accompaniment of the mur
muring wheel. And this is the story she
told of how the thread broke one ill
fated night lon, long ago.
'* My youngest brothers, James and
Joe, were walking in the woods one even
ing in the dusk, after a hard day's toil,
when Joe, who was the youngest of all
and a timid, wistful lad given to dream
ing with his eyes wide open, suddenly
gripped the other by the arm:
"Listen, brother, listen!”
"What do you hear, little brother, that
your hand is trembling so?"
"I hear strange voices whispering in
the night! Hush! You can hear them
now; they are calling me, calling, call
ing. I am afraid. Hark, brother, tell
me, can you hear them?”
"I only hear the winds of evening sigh
ing in the pinetops.”
"Hist, now you must h2ar It, brother;
it is closer.”
"I only hear the night-birds stirring in
the branches.”
"Oh, listen now my brother, and tell
me truly wbat you hear, for it is drawing
nearer.”
"I hear the dead leaves rustling, but
nothing more.”
"Whist ye now, my brother, for the
fear is come upon me—that strange, low
murmuring call —it fills the air! ' •
"Only the whirring of a frightened
pheasant's wings.”
“But hark ye now, my brother, you
must hear the voices, for they are calling
me away, away, and my soul is sick
with fear.”
"Then fear no longer, little brother, for
I see the light of our own cabin window
sh’ning from tne nin. Now I, too, hear
the murmurin; 'voice and it is only sis
ter's spinning wheel. 3ut your ears
must be far keener than mire, it 'twas
that you heard back in the fores,.”
“ 'Twas that same sound back in «.Ae
forest, brother, and now I know it was
sister's spinning wheel, bus. the fear Is
still upon me.”
So arm in arm the brothers entered the
little cabin. And as they entered, the
wheel ceased whirling. And the murmur
ing ceased.
“Pray tell me, sister mine, what have
you spun this night, that he alone should
hear the whirring music of the wheel afar
in the forest, miles across the hills?"
"Fine white thread to weave into a soft
white shirt for little brother s wedding I
day. And that is why his ears alone
heard the call from far across the hills.
But now the thread is broken, and I can
not mend it, because my hands are tremb
ling so. though I know not why.”
But when nex tmorning dawned, she
knew, for the younger brother waa a

about me could not tell there
was life in me. After these
