superintendent at the city hall.

partment of the superintendence of
the national association. Prof. Bond

The following schools were visited
by the board of lady visitors during
the month of February: Nantahala
Day school and Kindergarten; Meigs
Street school, East Athens colored
school, College Avenue, the High
The Night school building In Ea<t
Athens needs painting, and it Is Im
perative that connection he made
with the sewers as one means of pre
venting disease.
In Oconee St. school the south
walls were found In bad condition,
being damp most of the time. The
drinking fount on the first floor needs
to be made lower, and one more fount
to be put In.
Three meetings of Mothers’ and
Teachers' clubs were attended during
the month. Besides the intellectual
improvement from these meetings
they are proving a delightful social
feature of the schools, and are calcu
lated to do much good by bringing
about a heartier co-operation between
teacher and parent.
The school rooms reported as clean
and attractive. Those who were for
tunate enough to visit during recita
tion periods were pleased with the
work being done by teachers and
pupils of the various schools.
In each Instance the lady visitors
were received with marked courtesy,
and their first tour of visiting proved

Kindergarten, Oconee Street school
and Baxter Street school.
The following conditions In the va
rious buildings were reported:
At Nantahala Avinue school In the
second grade room the plastering Is
badly cracked and falling off In some
places. The same room and others
need new shades.
At Meigs Street school in the two
new rooms there is no provision for
hats and wraps, some of the seats
serving the purpose of hooks or
racks. Some of the rooms in this
building need new shades. As the
outside doors now hang they are
dangerous to little children. Since
the building is only one story high, it
is not thought there would be any
danger in case of fire, if the doors
were hung to swing on the Inside
when opened.
At the East Athens colored school
the rooms are crowded. One extra
room Is badly needed. The plaster
ing also needs fixing in the third
grade room.
At College avenue school the teach
ers desire very much to have the
yard enclosed with a privet hedge.
At the. High School the greatest
need at present is better library fa-

New York Authorities After Beggars
is Over Run With Professionala
City
New York, Feb. 27.—To rout an
army of professional beggars who by
fake pleas are reaping hundreds of
dollars a day from the people of al
most every street In this town Is the
object of a vigorous crusade that has
today been begun by the police at the
Instance of expertB In charitable
work. Many thousands of dollars In
alms that might otherwise go to the
relief of the really needy are now be
lng procured by these bunco beggar*,
the records show. For cowardly
crooks who fear to resort to ''strong-
arm" methods in the street crowds a
Hell field has been opened In the prac
tice of this form of petty swindling.
Though an Influx of genuine beggars
has always signified hard times in
this town, this swarm of make-believe
mendicants Is taken as a sure sign of
general affluence. If the police suc
ceed in scaring away such organized
bands of beggars It now seems cer
tain that much money will be saved
for the truly deserving.
Racers Run.
Like a stampeded flock of prairie
dogs, ail the men of prominence ind
power in the horse racing game are
today scuttling out of sight while for
mer state senator Gardner is being
tried at the criminal court building
here. Politicians, Wall strecl mag
nates, social leaders and the humblest
bookmakers do not apparently pro
pose to remain within call to the wit
ness chair, where much may he told
ot t.»ir efforts'In the commna cause
of heating the anti-race track gam
bllng bills In 1908. Unieti the dis
trict attorney Sits already succeeded
in reaching suite of those who know
the secrets of the “slush fund" crowd,
it is not considered likely that the
trial will reveal one-tetnb of the
whole truth of this gigantic move to
heat Hughes.
Big Blsckmall.
In probing the recent threat to
dynamite a whole hotel in revenge
for the refusal of a $2,000 demand the
police of this city today believe they
have hit the trail of a blackmailing
band that baa already destroyed hu
man life and thousands of dollars
worth of property In the course of its
operations. Scores of small cases of
arson and explosion have within the
last few weeks been traced to what
Is thought to he a common source of
black hand activity, while much the
same methods of money hold up have
been discovered in several attempts
at murder and kidnaping. The plot to
blow up an entire hotel structure waj
the crowning deed of this same des
perate gang, the sleuths declare, and
they are preparing to descend upon
its leaders If possible. Since black
hand crime has become only too fre
quent here of late, New Yorkers ari
hoping that their guardians have at
last hit upon one of its chief cen-
tree- MCiJJss
Suffrage Show,
Fresh from the firing line where
they have been besieging the mere
men legislators in Albany, the suff
ragettes of this town are today plan
ning a parade for next April thnt la
calculated to make all Gotham es
pouse the cause. From half a dozen
headquarters, where the- ladles who
want votes have been most militant
here, orders are now being Issued In
preparation for this pageant that Is
to portray woman from the days of
her most abject slavery up to this
day of promised emancipation. As
a show, New Yorkers are looking for
ward to the demonstration, though no
one believes It will bring the ballot
any nearer to the gentle sex|
Society Scraps.
While Battling Bobbie Beresford,
the British peer who knocked out
Terrible Tony Drexel In a select so
ciety mill following the Gould wed
ding, Is being showered with congrat
ulations, the members of the glided
social set here are now planning for
the near future similar feaBts of fisti
cuffs. The art of the prize-fighter
Is being aped by all the young bloods
of Fifth avenue, and already matches
have been made between them for
the edification of their friends. Not
the least enthusiastic spectators ot
these finish fights sre the women of
the "400" who sre urging on their
husbands, sons snd brothers to cut-
tlvsts In muscle what they msy isck
In mind.
It will be readily apparent that
much time and effort have been ex
pended In arranging for a gathering
of this sort. Evert yet the program
Ir not complete and hope is still In
dulged that other nationally and In
ternationally prominent characters
will give favorable answer to the In
vitations which have been sent urging
their attendance and participation.
The Southern Commercial Con
gress, It Is explained, Is not merely
an annual meeting, but is a union of
effort on the part of all southern com
mercial bodies and individual business
institutions to bring two things to
pass in the present day and time.
These two things are—
1st. To Induce a proper under
standing by the people of the south
regarding the significance of the phy
sical resources of their states In es
tablishing a greater nation through
a greater south.
2nd. To sweep out of the mind of
the world all elements ot mlsundeiV
standing regarding the south,
prospects. Its people and Its oppor
tunities.
The Southern Commercial Congress
was organized Dec. 8, 1908, maintains
an office In Washington and has now
been in operation more than two
years. Washington was chosen, It Is
slated, because there It Is most easy
to crolate governmental research
In terms of the southern states and
thus inspire the south and enlighten
the balance of the union. In a sense
it Is an extended chamber of com
merce, doing for one-third of the Uni
ted States what the local chamber
does for its community. It is a cen
tralized source of information for lo
cal organizations; It Is a national of-
(ire for each. It is a co-operative bu
rcau for assembling and circulating
nationally the broad facts regarding
the Industries, commercial and agrl-
< ultural possibilities and progress of
the south.
The first meeting of the congress
In this city will he called.to order at
to o'clock on March 8 in the audi
torium here, opening with the Invoca
tion by Bishop U. K. Nelson of the
Atlanta diocese. John M. Parker of
New Orleans, president of the con
gress and its secretary Edwin L.
Quarles of Washington, will make
general statements regarding the con
gress and its purposes. These will
follow the address of welcome by
Governor Jos. M. Brown and response
by Generai Julian S. Carr of Durham,
N. C. Speeches will follow by Asa
O. Candler of Atlanta and Senator
Dunoon U. Fletcher of Florida and
the business of the first session will
condude with the appointment of
committees on nominations and re
solutions.
The afternoon and night sessions
of the same day will be consumed
with speeches and discussions by men
of wide prominence, among them
Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture who will speak on “The
agricultural obligation of the South;’’
George Westlnghouse of Pittsburg
who will speak on "Electricity In the
development of the South;” George
W. Perkins of New York who will

Southern Progress;" Cashier Arthur

portunities in Southern Finance;"

Carolina, Leland ..nine of Tennessee,
John H. Kirby of Texas, and W. II.
Saunders of the District of Columbia,
each of whom will discuss the merits,
resources and advantages of his re
spective state.
March 9 will be Roosevelt Day, anil
some big speeches are scheduled for
the occasion. The program for that
day starts with the speech ot Senator
Hernando D. Money of Mississippi on
"The Obllgtalons of the Panama Ca
nal.”
'Make Ready for the Canal," Is *ie
text which Director John Barrett of
the Pan-American Union has chosen,
following Senator Money, and, If he
comes, Ambassador de la Barra
Mexico will speak on “Mexico and
tlWS South."
V'oid France to New France,” Is the
tojilc Ambassador Jusserand will han
die. and Bar on de Rio Dranco is ex
pected to speak of South American
Development.’’
Ambassador Bryce will discuss the
relations of England to the South, Dr.
J. C. Calhoun Newton Is scheduled to
discuss the “South's new approach to
the Orient,” and Minister Charles H.
Sherrill to Argentine, will talk on
"Organizing for Foreign Trade."
“The promotlve power of the south
ern press," will be handled by Hon,
John Temple Graves, now of New
York, and "Co-operation In Publicity,''
Is the subject to be handled by Presi
dent Atherton Bronwell of the Cen
tury Syndicate. -
Ex-Vresldent Roosevelt comes in
the evening and Is next to the closing
address on tile day's program. He
will speak on "The South's obligation
In statesmanship and business on
deavor,” and his discussion will be
extemperaneous. Originally the word
obligation was not written Into Col.
Roosevelt's topic, but was subse
quently Inserted In order to give him
a wider scope and one more In keep
ing with the occasion.
The day's program will he con
eluded with a discussion on "The
South's textile opportunities,” by Col.
1). Tyson of Knoxville, Tenn., a
well known expert on this subject.
The last day of the congress will
probably be looked upon as the big
gest on account of the presence of
President Taft who will arrive about
midday and speak at night.
Speeches will be delivered during
the morning by former Senator James
Gordon of Mississippi and Dr. Clar
ence J. Owens, commander in chief
of the IT. 8. C. V.
The section meetings dealing with
various Industries and resources will
lake place during the afternoon, and
the congress will conclude Friday

the Hudson River Tube system, will
speak on "Corporations nnd the pub

lion."
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey, will discuss "The Citizen and
the state."
President William H. Taft will con.
elude the program with his address
'A Greater Nation through a Greater
South."
There will of course be a number
of receptions and other entertain
ment features during the congress;
but with the lengthy program there
will be rather small opportunities for
much of asocial nature.
Both President Taft and, ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt will make short ad
dresses to the negroes while here.
Polly Barclay First Woman
.Legally Executed in Georgia
A Case of Tit For Tat With
One of Former and Two of Latter
There was a merrv go-round case In
the mayor's court—a sort of tit for
tat affair with one of the former and
two of the latter.
Jake Montgomery had a case dock
eted against Dllmus Carer, also col
ored. charging Carey with beating his
wife and acting In addition to that,
he stated. In a disorderly manner.”
In the trial of the case the facts
came out that Dllmus was likely par
tially incapacitated for proper behav
iour on account of storing too much
liquor under his waist-band. It furth
er developed that the liquor afore
said was obtained from Jake Mont
gomery, the prosecutor, by the said
Dllmus Carey, defendant.' The beat
ing of his wife In a disorderly man
ner did not snow up very atronc and
that part of the program waa dropped
and attention turned to the embryon-
| |c eaae against the prosecutor for
selling liquor. Dllmus was ready to
tell the truth about the affair and a
case waa made out. Then came the
second counter proceedings: Jake
abandoning the first case and taking
the cue of the case pointed against
him alleged that Dllmus had been al
so selling liquor and had sold him a
quantity and be stated that he would
produce witnesses to prove It. He Is
being given time by the mayor to get
up .hit witnesses and Dllmus will
aland trial for violating the tame law
he showed Montgomery had broken.
Many friends here of Coach Frank
Anderson, of the Unlveralty of Geor
gia, sympathize deeply with him in
the bereavement which has come to
blm—the recent death of bla mother
In Savannah. He was summoned yes
terday to Savannah by the ted intel
ligence of her decease.
Washington, Ga., Feb. 27.—The re
cent case of the 'negro girl of Burke
county, Rosa Lee Symns, who waa
convicted and sentenced to he hanged
for being implicated in the murder ot
a white farmer of that county, raised
the question as to the first woman in
the state of Georgia who was requir
ed to pay the extreme penalty ot the
law with her life.
According to one published state
ment, it was claimed that "the execu
tion of Mrs. Susan Eberhardt, of Sum
ter county, was the first and only in
stance in the annals of criminal pro
cedure in this state In which a woman
was required to forfeit her life on the
gallows." The hanging ot Mrs. Eber
hardt, which was conducted publicly,
occurred In the early ’0's of the last
century.
Archives of Wilkes Explored.
The statement that the Sumter
county murderess was the “first and
only woman to be hanged in Georgia"
seemed to explode a local tradition
that has been handed down from gen
eratiou to generation. It was the sig
nal for the thorough investigation by
a Washington newspaper man of the
treasured archives of Wilkes county,
which run back prior to the Revolu
tionary war. This Investigation not
only completely substantiates the
time-honored tradition that the first
woman in Georgin was hanged on a
poplar tree within the corporate
limits of this city, hut some new and
Interesting light wns thrown on that
subject ns welt as others contempo
raneous to it, which is believed to be
without a parallel in any state of the
union.
The fact Is, according to the rec
ords of Wilkes county now on file in
the office of Ordinary Fanning In this
county, that Polly Barclay, a white
woman of this county, was the first
woman to be hanged by the neck in
Georgia for the crime of murder. She
was convicted of complicity in the
murder of her husband, but was rec
ommended to the mercy of the court
on- account of the fact that she was
a woman and no precedent existed in
this state for the capital punishment
of a woman.
The entry on the court record of
isoti reads as follows:
"We, the Jury, find the prisoner at
the bnr guilty but recommend mercy.
(Signed) "Chas. II. Terrell, Foreman.' -
Polly Blarcay Sentenced.
The stern judge of that day, Hon.
Charles Talte, paid no heed to the rec.
otnniendailon of mercy on behalf of
the woman. , He straightway ordered
the prisoner to stand before him.
When there was no word of protest
offered to the court's Inquiry If Polly
Barclay had aught to say to show
why the sentence of death should not
be passed upon her, the death sen
tence was pronounced a* follows
"That you—Poliy Barclay—be taken
from the bar to the place from
whence you came, there to remain
until Friday the thirteenth day of the
present month of May, and there on
the aforesaid 13th day of May you
are to be taken by the proper officers
to a gallows, previously to be erected,
In or near the town of Washington,
and between the hour* of 10 o'clock
In the forenoon and 2 o'clock In the
afternoon, you are to be hung by the
neck until your body Is dead, and the
Lord have mercy on your soul," ,
Polly Barclay expiated her crime,
and she was hanged from a limb of a
mammoth tree, which still stands on
the main thoroughfare of Washing
ton.
It Is a matter of Interest to nolo
the names of celebrated practitioners
at the local bar at the time of this
epochal case of Polly Barclay more
than a century ago. Ellljah Clarke Is
a familiar name which appears In con
nection with litigated cases of the
May term of Wilkes county’s superior
court In 1800, Wiliam H. Crawford
Is another familiar name in Georgia
history which appears, as well as that
of George Walton.

Twice In Jeopardy.
Going back among the old chron
icles of Wilkes county to the year
1779, the remarkable case Is shown
wherein a “Tory" was aralgned be
fore the court of that day, sitting In
Washington, charging 'high treason
against the state, horsestealing, bog
stealing and other misdemeanors.'
(It appears that onr forefathers were
as lax in their spelling as they were
in Jurisprudence.)
After being put on trial before
Jury of twelve men, James Mobley
was found "not guilty” of the charge
of treason and other crimes, but such
a termination of the case was not
egreeable to the state's attorney and
a motion wns made by the attorney
for the commonwealth requesting
new trial of the case to be held In
Augusta, Ga.
"The slate's attorney moved to the
honorable cuort that JanfAs Mobley
be ordered sent to Augusta for further
trvall—not granted," ts the entry on
the old court record of Friday, Aug
ust 27, 1779. On the day following
James Mobley's full acqultal by the
Jury, this record Is shown:
Remarkable Court Record.
"August Court—Saturday, August
28, 1779.”
“The honorable attorney In behalf
of the state motions to the court that
the tryail of James .Mobley should be
reheard, as he could produce more
evidence In behalf of the state to sup
port the charge brought against him.
"The court granted the request and
ordered that the (James Mobley)
should be brought to the Barr Imme
diately. The prisoner, James Mobley,
as brought, to the Barr, being ar
raigned and charged of high trehson
vs. the stale, horsestealing, hogg-
stealing and other mlademanors. He
pleaded the general Issue of Not
Guilty and put himself on God and his
country for trial. The Pettet Jury
was duly sworn."
ft Is the remarkable record that
this same James Mobley, who had
been acquitted on Friday, was re-ar-
ralgned upon Identical charges Satur
day upon the motion for a new trial
which was made by the state's at
torney.
On the following day one of the
Jury which had acquitted Mobley was
put on the witness stand by the
state's attorney, and the result was
that Mobley was this time convicted
•of high treason against the state and
of "hogg-seating,” for which crimes
he paid the penalty of his life on the
gallows, with seven other Tories who
were convicted at the same time upon
similar-charges.
While the federal constitution pro
vided that no citizen shall be held
twice In Jeopardy for the same crime
was not ratified until 1787, or nearly
ten years after the unusual occur
rence In the Wilkes county court,
still, the laws existing prior to the
ratification of the constitution of the
United States were modeled after the
old common laws of England. And it
is stipulated in the common law of
England that no person once acquit
ted by his peers shall be retried on
thnt offense again. That fundamental
law goes back to the time “when the
memory of man runneth not to the
contrary.”
The attention of Judge Lamar, of
Augusta, nqw on the federal bench,
was directed to the Mobley case on a
recent visit to Waahlngton, and It was
the opinion of Judge Lamar that the
above cited case is perhaps the only
existing record of Its kind In this
country.
