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. Mrs. Smith was b:ought in in an arm chair, and a female relative carried her little baby in her arms.

Tobacco Habib THE HEW BAPTIST CBURGH. 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, ■ j it -/ v" Am ■■ • • ■ Q 1 ■ • -c, •' v " , : A ■.3 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. had approached her and knocked her down, and after the assault she went home and told her hus band. Jack McCoy, a negro, was called from a field by Will Jackson, who wanted him to take the buggy to town, saying he had got in some trouble with a white woman but McCoy refused, saying he didn’t want anything to do with the bug by. Thomas Smith, the husband, told of passing the negro as he went home. Jennie Kucaid, who cooks for Judge Harris told of Jackson’s coming with the buggy and telling her he had got in trouble, left hur riedly. The sheriff then told of catching the negro as he was in the road with a sachel in his hand. The case was given to the jury and in three minutes by the watch they returned with a verdict of guilty. A wave of applause fol lowed the announcement. Judge Fite sentenced him to hang Friday. November ist, ap pointing Drs. W. C. Griffin, J. G. Greene, F. R. Calhoun and F. V.

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- I cially this grand philanthropic ECZEMA ’S IT OH IS TORTURE. Eczema is caused by an acid litimor in tke blood coming in contact with the skin and producing great redness and in flammation ; little pustular eruptions form and difTfaaVge a thin, sticky fluid, which dries and scales off ; sometimes the skin is hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any form is a tormenting, stubborn disease, and the itching and burning at times are almost unbearable; the acid burning humor seems to ooze out aud set the skin on fire.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC C®„ ATLANTA, GA. 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.
