The regular monthly meeting of elllties—especially the board of education was held yes- ence. terday afternoon In the office of the books of refer- superintendent at the city hall. Prof. G. G.

Prof. Bond also visited New Orleans while on the trip. A petition from the Civic Club ask ing for the use of the school grounds for playgrounds for children was read and refered to the committee on build ings and grounds. The first report made by the board of lady visitors was read. !t contains many suggestions and various sec tions of the report will he referred to the committees. The report follows: - Report. 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 Atlanta, Feb. 27.—More than ambiti ous, tremendous In its scope Is the program for the Southern Commercial Congress whose meetings will be held In the auditorium In this city, March S. 9 and in I reddeut Wi liam II.

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- result in some good to the schools. Respectfully. MRS. T. E. JAOO, Rec. Sec’y B. I,.

The general routine of business and approving hills was entered in to after which the meeting was ad journed 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 speak on "Business Efficiency in Southern Progress;" Cashier Arthur Kavanagh of the National City Bank of New York who will apeak on "Op portunities in Southern Finance;" Judge Elbert H. Gary of the United States Steel Corporation is jlso ex pected to talk on "The Manufactur ing obligation of the South;" and among others on the program are Ed ward lllnrs of Chicago, Arthur M. Harris of New York, Albert P. Bush of Alabama, Colonel S. W. Fordyee ot Arkansas, B, W. Griffith of Mississip pi, J. 9. Davis of Albany, Ga., Logan C. Murray of Kentucky, B. H. Gris wold of Maryland, J. W. Porch of Louisiana and F. P. Conroy of Florida C. P. Walbrldge of Missouri, J. El wood Cox of North Carolina, Chas. N Gould of Oklahoma, H. C. Stuart o! Virginia, Oliver C. Beans of West Virginia, E. W. Robertson of South 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 night with the following program: Secretary of War Dickinson w'ill spoak on "The enforcement of law In the south." William G. McAdoo, president ot the Hudson River Tube system, will speak on "Corporations nnd the pub lic.” Chancellor Houston of Washington University, St. Louis, will speak on The South's Educational Obllga- 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. BT. .Coon aajjcmf shr cm smfwv 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.
