THE SHERIFF SHOULD
NOT BE CENSURED
Mr. Dock Smith, Father of Mrs. Shrow-
der, Speaks a Few Words of Praise
For Sheriff Sheppard.
t
Wednesday’s Cordele Daily News:
A‘News man was introduced to
Judge Dock Smith Tuesday, lather
of Mrs. John Shrowder, and know
ing that a great many people
throughout the county were harshly
criticising Sheriff George Sheppard-
and Deputy Sheriff Lee Sheppard
for not finding and arresting George
and Andrew Bundrick. Judge
Smith was interviewed and talked
B8 follows:
“Yes sir, 1 am the father of Mrs.
Shrowder and am just as anxious
for those men to be arreste.d as any
one in Dooly county.’’
“Well Judge, do you think that
Mr. Lee Sheppard did all he could
to get the Bundricks?”
“Yes sir, I do, and futhermore
he und his father, who was sick in
bed at the time, are now using
their best efforts to arrest them
to my best knowledge and belief.
Now, I live within less than half a
mile from one of those boys, and
all these rumors abodt they having
stayed around their homes attend
ing to business is in the main grossly
false and unjust to the high sheriff
of our county. No, the sheriff and
his deputy should not be blamed,
for they did just as I would have
done under tffe same circumstances
-—that is, they did all that could
be done to arrest the boys. This is
not only my honest belief, but that
of a number of the best citizens of
our neighborhood.”
His Life in Psril.

pieces,” writes Alfred Bee of Welfare.

made life a burden. I couldn’t eat or
sleep and felt almost too worn out to
work when I began to use Electric Bit
ters but they worked wonders. Now I
sleeb like a top can eat anything, bare
gained in strength and enjoy hard work”

INCOMPETENT TEACHERS.
\ 1 r
One of the chief sources of the
wns'eof the school money is the em
ployment of incompetent teachers.
This is perhaps more generally true
in the sparsely populated districts;
but it is not confined to them. It
is seen and felt also in the cities.
Boards of education and school di
rectors have a grave responsibility
resting npon them in this respect,
and no man who is tit to hold such
a position will uppronch the work
without feeling it. The time oi
the school children is too precious
be wasted in attending upon in
duction at the hands of those who
'know little of the responsibility
rests upon them, and who perhaps
dot not care to know. It sometimes
takes longer to unlearn that which
Je fallacious, taught by an incom-
ent teacher, than it did to imbi-
the false notions that are to be
fanlearaed.

Two Rewards Offered '
For Bundrick Boys.
The rewards were offered by
Governor Candler yesterday for
the artest of George and Andrew
Bundrick, who shot and killed
John Shrowder and seriously in
jured Mrs. Shrowder in this county
a few days ago. The reward in
each case is $150. Shrowder and
his wife were riding along the road
when they were fired upon.
An additional reward of $150 has
been offered ior their capture and
delivered in any jail in the United
states, by private parties. This
makes a reward of 9450 in all, and
it is quite a neat sum for the trou
ble of making the arrests if their
whereabouts can be learned.

THE VALUE OF
NATURE STUh,
By Professor BEN T. GALLOWAY. Chief of the Bureau of Plant
Industry, Department of Agriculture
| HERE is much talk and discussion regarding nature
studies in the public schools, but there is very little
of a specified character that can be used ns a prece
dent in preparing a plan of action. I BELIEVE
THAT NATURE STUDY SHOULD NEVER
BE ALLOWED TO REACH THE FAD STAGE,
BUT SHOULD BE CONDUCTED WHOLLY WITH A VIEW
TO ENLARGING THE CHILD’S THINKING POWERS.
As a general rule, the idea of nature ..study is connected with
something that has for its object teaching a child how to grow a
few plants and training them from the purely aesthetic side. MY
IDEA IS THAT NATURE STUDIES SHOULD BE MADE
TO TRAIN THE CHILD’S MIND IN THE MATTER OF
MAKING IT FAMILIAR WITH THE FUNDAMENTAL
TRUTHS OF NATURE in the hope that gradual familiarity
with such truths will develop the better instincts of the nature as
well as instill from the very beginning an intelligent grasp of botany.
