GEORGIA DOING GREAT WORK
FOR UNFORTUNATE CHILDREN
School for the Deaf at Cave Springs Shows Care
State Bestows Upon Those Who Are Afflicted
By Preparing Them for Useful Citizenship.
The Board of Visitors appoint
ed by Governor Joseph M. Brown
to visit the Georgia School for
for the Deaf at Cave Springs
spent Thursday, May 22 inspect
ing the school and grounds. Col
John A wiry, of Marietta, was
selected chairman and Dr. E. 11.
Richardson of Cedartown, was
chosen secretary. Other visitors
present were John L. Herring, ed
itor of The Tifton Gazette; Dr. J.
C. Bennett, of Jefferson, and tin
editor of The News.
The school is located on a tract
of forty acres, deeded to it by
the father of Dr. Riehardsoi
some fifty years ago.
The surrounding scenery is
strikingly beautiful, and the cam]
■us, with its stately trees and well
kept lawn is pleasing to the eye.
There is a main academic build
ing and chapel, an industrial
building which also contains the
dniing hall and kitchen, a girl s
dormitory, boy's dormitory, ma
chine shops and boys’ industrial
building, a power house and laun-
F.ry, all substantially built of
brick; a few hundred yards away
on a hillside the buildings for the
egros. Both whites and negros
%k ave well equipped hospital build
ings, which are little used, how
ever, and the school has its own
electrci light and waterworks
plant. Water is supplied by one
of the numerous and beautiful
springs which abound in that sec
tion.
The state appropriates $50,000
a year to the maintenance of the
school, and it is one of the few in
stitutions of the state that lives
within its income, the excellent
Board of' Trustees finding it possi
hie to lay aside a sum for im
provements every year from this
amount. The attendance this year
was 150 whites and 38 negroes
making a total of 188. Of the
whites 82 are males and G 8 fe
males and of the negroes 2 are
males and 16 are females.
The visitors were shown over
the grounds and through the va
rious bildiugs by the veteran prin
cipal. Prof. W. 0. Connor.who ha
concluded forty seven years of la
bor in behalf of Georgia's deaf
children. lie began this service a
the age of 10, and it was only in
terrupted by his patriotism and
devotion to the cause of the Con
federacy Children who h v

and enobling. The best and higl
est testimony to the character of
the man.
Through the various details of
the school work the visitors were
shown by the assistant principal.

gressive and enterprising,and whe
is not the principal’s! right-lum
man only because she is not built
that way.
The people of Georgia should
see more of the school and then
would understand better the
great work it is doing.
Besides the different branches
of a common education, boys are
given instruction in printing,
tainting, blac • nnthing a ni gar
dening. Girls are taught plum
sewing, cutting and fitting, em
broidery and several brandies of
fancy work.
Clothes for both boys and girls
are made inthe Domestic s ion e
department, and they are of a
most substantali character.
The health, of the pupils is
markably good, death being very
rare.
The committee thought that th<
forty acres owned by the school
could be profitably used in teach
ing scientific argicuiture, which
would include the growing of
nuts, fruits and market gardening
The outdoor exercise would be
beneficial to the pupils and the
supplies raised for the school
would more than pay the cost of
this department. Asa result,
the school could turn out experi
enced young farmers and another
calling would be opened to the
deaf mute. Especially is this
training needed for the negro boy
who receives no industrial train
ing whatever except leather work
With, the coming of the oral
method of instruction, or lip
reading, it has been more appar
ant than ever that the minimum
age of seven, at which the pupil
may enter school, should be
changed. To receive the full ben
afit of tha school some children
should enter as early as four
years of ,age.
Prof. C >nnor and his assistants
are to be congratulated on tin
axcellent faculty with which the,
have surrounded themselves.
Jefferson Takes Two.
Winder went down in inglori
ous defeat before the powerful
sluggers of The Hub Monday at
ternoon. This is the second de
feat the Jefferson hall players
have administered to the Windei
team this season Both of thes
games were played on the Jeffer
s>n diamond. The score in t.h
first game was 19 to 8, and Mon
day's score was 7 to 0.
A Jefferson Fan takes us
task for not reporting the resul
of the first game on our front
page. We apologize for the
omission, but in our own defense
we must say that his “call dow
was the first knowledge we had
that the game was played. Out
1) >ys, like all hall teams, when
they go down in defeat make lit
th* racket when they slip home
We were not aware that such
things of moment were happen
ing but we will he on the job in
the future.
And just here we will r.:v
that Winder's Boy Scout team
can defeat any Si-out team in the
stale, if you don't believe t ‘is
try them and be (convinced.
Winder, Jackson County, Ga., Thursday, June sth, 1913.
STOCKHOLDERS PUT LID ON
Members of Athletic Association
Pass Rules Governing Park.
The prevailing opinion that
Athletic Park is a public institu
tion was dispelled last Friday
night when the stockholders met
in sessiori at the clubhouse.
Rules governing the swimming
pool, ball park and playgrounds
were passed and Mr. Phagan.the
caretaker, was instructed to rig
idly enforce these rules.
It is the desire of the members
of the association to increase its
membership, and so long as a
non-member could enjoy' all the
privileges of the playgrounds,
clubhouse and swimming poo]
without becoming a member then
was no incentive to join.
This has all been changed, and
heraafter no one will be admitted
to the swimming pool, clubhouse
or ball park unless he has a cer
tificate of membership or a per
mit granting him the privileges
of the park.
The public is cordially invited
to the grounds for recreation and
the children may romp and play
to their hearts content, but if
you wish to play ball, swim in
the pool, roll ten-pins or try you**
hand at tennis, you must have
your credentials or Phagan will
got you.
0 NEAL-JOHNSON WEDDING
One of the most beautiful wed
dings of the season was that of
.Miss Gussie O'Neal and Mr. Lew
is Harvey Johnson, of Decatur.
Ga.
The bride, one of Winder’s
most beautiful and popular young
ladies, never looked lovlier than
in her wedding gown of white
crep * meteor, draped in Empress
lace and trimmed in seed pearls.
Her wedding veil was caught to
her beautiful brown hair with or
ange blossoms. The only orna
m -nt worn was a handsome lava
lier, the gift of the groom. Her
s >le attendants were little .Miss
Olemmie Downing, of Augusta,
Ga., who as ring hearer, and Mas
ter (Teghorn Toole, of Winder,
as Cupid, made a picture to
b hold. Just before the ceremo
ny which was performed by R *v.
W. T. Hamby, of Augusta, Ga.,
Miss Sadler, of Agnes Scott Col
lege, sang sweetly “.My Heart a*
Thy Sweet Voice,” and during
the ceremony “0 Thou Subline
Sweet Evening Star” was playet
s >ft!y by Hanghey’s Orchestra
who furnished music throughout
the evening. The ribbon header?,
were Miss\s Elise Starr and .Mary
Louise Johns. Punch was serv
ed by Misses Frances Brooks and
Evelyn Radford and Messrs. Za-eh
Jackson and Keith Quarterman.
The bride’s mother was hand
somely gowned in black ehar
meuse with a touch of white. Mr.
Bert Johnson, of New York City
a brother of the groom was pres
ent. a number of out -of
town guests were present.
The many handsome presents
attested the popularity of both
bride and groom.
The happy young couple left
on tin- midnight train for New
York, from whence they sail for
a tour of the European conti
nent.
GROUCH PEEVED BECAUSE HIS
WIFE WAS VERY PRECAUTIOUS.
Suffering From an Ailment He Diagnoses as “Big
Head”, He Tells His Troubles to An Out
sider, and Cives Some Pointed Views.
We heard that the Grouch was
not well and went out to set* him.
His head and face were so swollei
that we involuntarily exclainm
“What in the world is the matte!
with you, Grouch ?”
“Bighead.” he answered sc
cheerfully that our alarm subsid
ed at on *e. Entering the jovial
Pile we said you suffered from
that verv often in your younger
days, did you not ?
“So reported, Bob, an<l if Cons
in Molly hears that I have it now
she is sure to say it won’t prove
fatal. No sir. Addie, if bighead
would kill be never would have
lived to east a ballot.
‘‘But this is tli<* first time it
ever broke out or alarmed my
wife. You, see, for years she
has stood by me through misfor
tunes and calumny and never
shrank from duty, frowned o
failed in sympathy, but this tim *
she became stubborn."
Grouch, you don’t mean to say
that your wife lias neglected you
“No, not that. She lias been a
good and faithful nurse, but a fel
low will become sentimental from
suffering, especially when he
looks at his distorted face in the
glass a nd becomes aware that in
nocent childhood would run awii;
at sight of it.
“In this mood I called my wife
and said: “Come here, I wan"
to buss you. “Right there, Bob,
she flared up and made a speech.
“ ‘No sir.’ she said, ‘Cut that
out : there is a time for all things
go forget it; get that face off.
I am making no such acquain
tances.’ ’’
“Well, Grouch,” I said, “I
can see where your wife is right.
You see scientists are proving
that germs and microbes are be
ing transmitted from person to
person, even from healthy appear
ing persons through the foolish'
practice of kissing. Many inti i
ligent people refuse to be kissed
at all, nor will they allow people
to kiss their babies just as a pre
caution against deadly germs.”
“Yes, and I know people who
won’t eat strawberries, blackber
ries, grapes or other fruits with
small s°eds to avoid appendici
tis, but 1 tell you, I am free from
those misgivings. I’ve been here
some time and 1 ve defied germs
and appendicitis a]J the time.”
“Probably your wife is more
tinnrous in these matters, and
like other good progressive ladies
has decided against this folly.”
“Well, 1 drew her into a dis
cussion later by quoting the fol
lowing e iiiplet from Byron or
Burns:
“ ‘ The minister kissed the fid
dler’s wife.
And couldn't preach for think
ing of it.
“1 tell you, you can’t reason
with a woman. She denied the
statement, defended the preaehei
abused Byron, and I never did
get her to agree that over in Eu
rope the thing might hhve happtr

ed. And when I asked if she
thought is was remorse of con
science or a sense of shame for
his deed that kept the minister
from preaching, she sat demurely
looking at me. When I asked if
sht* thought it l was remorse of
conscience or a sense of shame
for his deed that kept the min
ister from preaching, she sat de
murely looking at m*. When 1
asked if it might lx* that the min
ister's mind became preoccupied
with fears that it would not hap
pen any more, she rose up to re
cite a lecture to one of my age
and appearance, and. to mark
out a safe and moral line of
thought for me, con.elu.dign wjth
the assertion that fever in the
head always did make me flighty
and foolish.
“But 1 tell you, Bob, I don’t
care how soon crusty, crabbed
folks become converts to the
germ theory. I am hopeful that
others whll do as I do, trust to
fresh air and sunshine for
strength to combat all the germs,
and continue that link of l<>vo
that unties mortal souls so
sweetly that immorality is fore
shadowed.
“The chubby arms about one’a
neck, the curly locks brushing
the cheek and the kiss of the in
nocent, rosy-lipped child is as
sweet to mortal life as the gen
tie touch of the angel’s wing.’’
“Well. Grouch, from your pres
ent age and appearance I think
little harm may come to the
world from your antiquated view
on such subjects, but those who
would protect, the health and hap
piness of coming gen ‘rations
should side with your wife and
science.” ! | >
Mi3s:s Carithers Entertain
One of the prettiest parties giv
en th * bride-to-be, .Miss Gussie
O’Neal, wis that of the .Misses
Carithers on Wednesday after
noon. <)ii arriving the guests wen
served punch and sandwiches
by .Miss India Niblack and Miss;
Ruth Carithers. The guests were
asked to write a prophecy for the
bride-to-b *. Tin s * proved to la*
most interesting. Each prophecy
was handed to the hostess, then
she tied them together and plac-
ing a beautiful hand-painted back
on this valuable book of prophe
cies, she presented it to the bride
to-be. Afer this < ach guest made
something for the bride s trous
seau of pink paper. This caused
a great deal of fun.
Tlie mantels and tabl* s held
beautiful vases of pink sweet
peas. The color scheme of pink
and green was effectively car
ried out throughout the lower
floor decorations and refresh
ments. Those present besides th?
Wo-lla-Los Club were Miss
O’Neal, Mesdam-s Qu a rterinan,
George Johns and L. S( Radford.
