WILL HE ON
NOVEMBER I.
Will Jackson, the Negro Who As
saulted Mrs, Smith,
fOUNDGUILTYAND SENTENCED
_A Quick but Thorough Piece of
Court Work— M liltary Called Out
to Prevent Violence.
Will Jackson, the negro who as
saulted Mrs. Thomas Smith, while
alone in a cotton field near this
city, Monday afternoon of last,
week, will be hung on Friday, No
vember i. The special session of
the superior court called for the
purpose of trying his case convened
at 8 o’clock last Thursday, Judge
A. W. Fite presiding.
Jurors both grand and traverse,
were regularly drawn for this spe
cial court and were from among
the very best citizens of the coun
ty.
A traverse jury was easily selec
ted, the requisite twelve being se
cured belore two panels of twelve
each had been exhausted. The
jury when finally made up consis
ted of the following citizens: J. J .
Conner, Geo, A. Veach, Jas, R.
Gaines, N. C. Auderson, G. M.
Pinion, W. K. Puckett, T. G. Me-
Meekiu, Roy Wheeler, W. M.
Brown, Miles G Dobbins, John P.
R, k. Whitehead.
Judge Fite, addressing the grand
jury said, at his own and the in
stance of a number of good citi
zens, he had thought it best to call
this special session aud besides the
trial of Will Jackson he wanted to
try as many criminal cases as po*-
s#leso as to clear the jail.
•‘Raw,” said he "is the best friend
the peaceable citizen has.
are obliged to admit that taking
the law in your own hands is not
the best. If you once recognize
the right to disregard law it reach
es to the lowest offense. I have
no doubt the relatives and others
are outraged at this crime. The
defendant though is now beyond
the hands of the crowd. In what
is known in the ancieut law, he is
in the city of refuge. As every
law abiding citizen is obliged to
admit it is best that the law shall
take its course. I apprehend no
danger cf violence today but it is
: best to take all precautions to pre
vent such a threatened event. In
asmuch as threats have been made,
there has been danger, if there is
none now, and the Bartow guards
have been called out. Officers are
instructed to let no man come in
the court house who has a weapon
about him. II any man is in court
who has a weapon on he is in con
tempt and I will, if known, inflict
a fine ot te r e hundred dollars on
lira. When the law has been
fully vindicated then every man
ought to be satisfied. We should
let it go out to the world that all
our citizens want is a fair, speedy,
vindication of the law ”
Solicitor General Maddox briefly
presented the case, saying there
was no-middle ground, and if the
death penalty was demanded he
would ask it at the jury’s hands,
Maj, A. M. Foute, Capt. T. J.
Lyon and OP Toe M\ Moon were
appointed by the court to defend
the prisoner, and Maj. Foute as
Heading counsel, said he had no
or legal right to refuse. The
prisoner, whether guilty or not,
was in an unfortunate position, be
ing charged with such a crime in
such a eouiuiuiuty. If his guilt is
shown and his conviction follows
he would ask that it be done ac
cording to law. As there was no
one present, insight or in hearing,
he would have to rely on the state’s
witnesses. They had only one
witness and might or might not
see proper to introduce him.

l’he Members Have Decided to Modern) *e Their ltuildiuK'
After This Plan,
The Baptists of Cartersville are making a move to renovate their
house of worship. It is in a bad state of repair, and they hope to be
able to raise enough money to renovate and modernize it. Recently an
architect was brought up to look at the present building to suggest
what could be done with it. After making an examination he sub
mitted a drawing of the house as it would look after it had been mod
ernized. The accompanying cut was made from the drawing. Last
Sunday there was a meeting of tfie church to consider the matter. Af
ter a short sermon from the pastor talks were made by different breth
ren, aud a motion was made and carried that the church building
should be remodeled after the picture of the architect without the Sun
day school room. This contemplates anew front, an elevation of the
roof, a changing of the windows and improvements on the inside.
It will improve the appearance of one of the prettiest streets in town,

and will be an uplift to the religious life of Car er .vie. A com
mittee consisting of J. H. Gilreatu, J. A. S over, W H. Ho yard and
the pastor have been appointed to raise money for the work. In
speaking of the movement, Mr. Bealer said, “We need every dollar
that we can get. If each member will give something and makje a
sacrifice to give it and then pray to God the great builder the work
can be done. If we will all do the best we can and then trust the rest
to God, the work can be done ’’ Every Baptist, every friend and well
wisher of the Baptists and everyone who wants to see the town im
prove is requested to help in this work. The church has about twelve
hundred dollars in cash and subscriptions, with which to start the work,
and the committee will press the raising of further money so that the
church may be remodeled as soon as possible.

The Model Rural School the Geor
gia Woman’s Club
IS EARNESTLY MOVING FOR?
Mri, Jehnson Tells About the
School and the Educational
Committee Makes Appeal.
Some weeks ago The Southern
Woman,official organ for the State
Federation of Women’s Clulis,nub
lished a letter from President Bran
son, of the State Normal School,
in which he asked that the Fed
eration aid in the establishing of a
model rural school.
Added to that appeal was a re
quest from the state president, that
the club presidents would announce
their pleasure on the subject; in
other words, if their members were
willing to undertake the work with
its many cares and responsibilities.
The answers to that request
came in the form of substantial
donations, showing the club wo
men were not only willing to as
sume the responsibilities but con
sidered it a privilege to be offered
an opportunity to aid in this much
needed addition to the regular
country school curriculum.
Consequently, in less than six
weeks it became an assured tact
that the State Federation would
maintain a model school in some
county of Georgia.
The requirements are a two
roomed county school house,where
the average attendance can be
kept at 50 children. The school
to be situated near a railroad de
pot
The club women, feeling that it
is improvement in what we already
have rather than multiplication of
educational institutions, this is the
immediate need, determined to sup
plement the present couDty school
system, instead of building anew
and thereby overlapsing and inter
fering with the fine work already
in progress through the efficient
labor of the county school com
missioners.
The school is thus offered to the
county that will give the largest
amount for its maintenance. The
county offering the next highest
amount to have the second soi.ool,
and so on, until there will be at
least one model school in each
county of the state.
And in what will this model
school differ from the regular coun
try school of the day?
It will differ in that the very fin
est teachers for the academic stu
dies will be employed, who will
teach all the common school
branches bj r the most approved
methods.
To the prescribed grammar
school course will be added man
ual training and domestic science
departments.
In the domestic science classes
will be taught plaiu cooking and
plain sewing and all that pertains
to the home comforts.
No elaborate French cooking
will be taught, but the proper
manner of preparing all food pro
ducts that can be raised m the gar
den and on the home farm.
In the school garden will be
taught the proper cultivation of
vegetables and garden herbs, both
for home consumption and with
the idea of teaching gardening as
a prefession. And here will be
taught that which will be of most
use in the home and on the farm.
To free hand drawing and paper
folding will be added tool work in
both wood and iron for the boys,
with basket making and weaving
for the girls.
As the school is to be placed in
the country for the benefit t>f the
country child, everything will be
considered iu regard to the better
ment, through ouratiou of the
head, hand and eye of those condi
tions that prevail in the country.
No time will be lost teaching ac
complishments, only inasmuch as
any useful occupation may be so
considered an accomplishment.
The first thought is education
through occupation.
The second thought is remunera
tive occupation through education.
The third last and greatest
thought is industrious, independ
ent citizenship through educat'd
development and skilled artisan
ship.
So great is the demand for
schools of the kind that it is now
thought the federation will be
forced to maintain, not one, but
several model schools. And this
can be done with ease, as the as
, sociation is in touch with the finest
teachers the country affords, if the
j citizens of Georgia will aid finan-

Eczema is caused by an acid litimor in

work undertaken by the women of
the stale.
Mrs. Lindsay Johnson.
In the above article Mrs. John
son. president of the State Federa
tion of Women's Clubs, explains
fully the aims and objects of the
model school. The advantages
that would accrue to any county
securing such a school needs no
additional argument.
The question now before us is
this: Are the citizen# of Bartow
county willing to meet the condi
tions so plainly set forth in the
foregoing article? The conditions
are simply these: A two room
school house situated in a country
community convenient to railroad
station; an average attendance of
fifty children; and a subscription
that shall exceed that of any other
county. It is estimated that
S I,OOO will be abuntantly sufficient
to equip the school and maintain
it for the usual term of five months.
°f this amount will come
througu the county nenuol uoard,
and already $35 additional have
been subscribed, making a total of
$285 as a nucleus. The county
school board will select tne site
and have general supervision of
the school.
Many counties throughout the
state are actively at work to se
cure the model school and if Bar
tow wishes it our citizens must
lose no time iu realizing the oppor
tunity now open to them, and in
subscribing to the fund necessary
to the support of such a school.
A liberal contribution from those
able to give liberally and smaller
contributions from the citizens
generally throughout the county
would decide the question in Bar
tow’s favor.
Bids from all competing coun
ties will be submitted November
ist, it is therefore important that
all subscriptions be made bv that
time, though not necessarily
before January ist, 1902.
As it will be impossible for this
committee to personally solicit
subscriptions throughout ihe coun
ty all desiring to contribute to the
establishment of the model school
in Bartow county are requested t
leave their names and tke amuupis
subscribed at either the First Na
tional Bank or the Bank of Car
tersville.
