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 tliis SofTool love him ns a I'ather, and th.( jmnression he has made ten the characters of tiie thoi. of ntt'e ones who have hen (raised '/ the school from i posi tion of dependenme to one of in dependence —from consumers t< producers —has been elevating 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. Miss Nettie McDaniel,a most cap able and charming young woman who lovs her work and is pro ®)f fuitiver Menus. 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.

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 W. E. YOUNG, —the— SHINGLEMAN. 8 Pages.—No. 8 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. _ _ Mr. a nd Elmer Hayme, ft Noreross,* spent several days here this week with rc-lativ-. s.
