True to His Convictions. | Notice to White Teachers. The brilliant and patriotic Pleas*. | Special Examination December 30 ant Stovall of the Savannah Press and 31, 1903. recently gave expression to a noble A special examination of appli- 7 . , , „ . ... cants for teachers licenses will be sentiment in the following tribute ^ ^ ^ Col]ege in Balnbridge> to the Confederate soldier, which beg j nnln g Wednesday morning we publish because of its beautiful 1 spirit of truth and because ^"ap peals to our own sentiments. The Confederate hero and warrior is fast passing away and too' much cannot be said in humble com memoration of his deeds of valor, his sufferings and privations. But here are the words of Editor Sto vall; stronger than any that we might add: Some men regard the time spent in war as a mere incident of their lives, something to be for- gotton and to put aside for more pressing and more practical things, Others look upon it as a sacred and heroic chapter in their exist ence and they never /discard its principals or convictions. They have no taste for compromise and their natures repudiate the idea of surrender. To them the senti ment of “one flag, one country" is in the past. They did not put aside their reverence 'or the Southern cross when arms were stacked or flags were furled. They are good citizens in time of peace; but they always cherish the days of ’61, because it was a time when they put duty above selfishness and marched to the heart beats of a lofty patriotism. They are con tent to have other people think as they please and act as thgy please, but they reserve the precious and undying right to live by the old standards and to be moved by the ennobling inspiration of a day that is no more. They do not use their war record as political capital. It is something too sacred for that. They do not ask for pensions or for civil promotion because they did their duty for their state. To most people the gray is a remi niscence, a tattered grave cloth of an epoch that is past. To them it is a toga of dignity and honor. Like Thomas Jefferson, who dress ed in the old colonial habit long after the era of a newer tashion had brought modern habiliments to young America, and preserved the memory of old days fresh at Monticello, so they cling to the color if not to the insignia of the Confederacy. To them the cross of honor is a decoration above the Victorian medal or the baton of field marshal. at 9 o’clock and continuing two lays. The examination will be on the common school branches in cluding physiology and the science and practice of teaching. All parties desiring to teach in the white public schools of Deca tur county before the next state examination and who do not hold a license issued for this county are expected to take a special ex amination.

This Nov 2th, 1903. T. B. Maxwell, Ordinary. Doings in Dougherty, Sunday before last was one of casualities in Dougherty county. At Baconton Raymond Mullins son of the Mayor, was fatally shot by a drunken negro The mar shal had called for volunteers to aid him in arresting the negro, and young Mullins readily re sponded. The negro was wanted for wife beating; was drunk, armed and desperate. Mullins was among the first to reach the home of the negro and he had scarcely entered before he was shot. The negro escaped in the confusion but was captured later. The excitement was intense and the negro nar rowly escaped lynching. Early the same day in Albany a negro burglar was caught redhand- ed and about a dozen shots were fired at him, only one taking effect however. The wound is not fatal. On Saturday night Joseph Surles, of Albany, was shot and fatally wounded by his friend, Newt Holland. The particulars to this affair cannot be gathered as both men refuse to talk. Surles states that he does not want Hol land prosecuted. With the addition of the shoot ing scrape which occurred near Albany about two weeks ago in which affair six negroes were • killed, the crime statistics for the month of November in Dougherty county will prove record breaking.
