WILSON PASSES
£*.President Woodrow Wilson Died
Last Sunday Morning At 11.15
O’Clock
Former President Woodrow Wil
son died at 11.15 Sunday morning.
He was taken ill on the previous
Monday with a digestive disorder, but
was not considered seriously ill until
Tuesday night, when his physicians
found that it was only a question as
to how long they could prolong his
life.
The first word of the seriousness
of Mr. Wilson’s condition was given
by Dr. Grayson Friday morning, af
ter he had spent Thursday night at
the bedside. He called in at once
two other physicians and members of
I the family were summoned by tele
graph. But only Mrs. Wilson, his
daughter Margaret and his brother
1 Joseph Wilson of Baltimore were
with him in his las't hours of life.
Following this turn for the worse
his heart’s action became feebler and
feebler and the heart muscles were
so fatigued that it refused to act any
longer. The- end came peacefully.
The remote causes lie in his ill
health which began more than four
years ago, namely arterio sclerosis
with hemipegia.
During all of Friday and Saturday
he lingered on the verge of eternity.
He slept fitfully and towards the last
refused nourishment, but before ex
treme weakness overtook him, he
talked with those about him and told
Dr. Grayson, he was, “Ready to Go.”
Woodrow Wilson was born in
Staunton, Va., December 28, 1856.
In 1858 the Wilson famTly moved to
Augusta. He was educated at Rich
mond Academy, Augusta; Davidson
College, North Carolina; Princeton
Univesity and University of Virgin
ia.
In 1882 he went to Atlanta and
opened a law office. Clients were
scarce and he spent much time writ
ing. During visits to relatives in
Home, Ga., he met Miss Ellen Louise
AJtsorr, a playmate of childhood days.
They became engaged, and were mar
ried in 1885. In 1910 he was'elected
governor of New Jersey.
Early in 1912 a Wilson boom was
started to land him in the presiden
tial chair. On the 46th ballot at the
Baltimore convention Wilson was
nominated.
The republican party was split by
Taft and Roosevelt and Wilson’s
election to the presidency resulted,
on November 4, 1912.
He entered the white house March
4, 1913, succeeding William Howard
Taft.

FOURTEEN SUMMER INSTI
TUTES BE HELD FOR
GEORGIA TEACHERS
Atlanta, Ga.—Fourteen Summer
Institutions for teachers will be held 1
in the various districts of Georgia
this year, according to the State De
partment of Education, beginning
Tuesday, July 1 and ending with the
State examination on Friday, August
1.
These institutes are organized
primarily for the purpose of giving
practical training to such teachers as
be employed in the schools for
the coming year, who have not had
normal training or any great, amount
of successful experience. They will
be especially helpful towards making
a higher grade of license, since much
of the course will be directed along
the lines of preparation for the state
examination, according to Depart
ment officials. Any teacher now en
gaged, or who is to be engaged in
school work the coming year, will be
admitted provided they obtain from
the county school superintendent a
certificate stating this fact and file
this certificate with the principal of
he school they wish to attend. The
schools are organized to meet an
emergency and in no wise conflict
with the regular summer schools in
different parts of the state. All
teachers who can attend these are
earnestly recommended to do so by
the Department of Education.
The cost of attending these schools
is sl6 for bfiard and $4 incidental.
AGED BILL MARTIN IS BACK IN
JAIL AFTER TEN MONTHS ON
‘STRAIGHT AND NARROW’
Rcme, Ga., Februay 1. —Bill Mar
tin, aged law-breaker who spent 19 of
the past 25 years in jails and on
chaingangs, has fallen off the ‘“water
wagon” after 10 months on * the
straight and narrow path. He was
under probation for two one-year
terms and had been placed under the
care of Ensign John Horgan, of the
Salvation Army. With the excep
tion of one wee nn> jn a sold morn
ing, he had not taken a drink of li
quor until Tuesday night, when he
•got hold of some of the stuff.
The old man’s young wife called
the Salvation Army* officer to her
aid when Martin beat her and threat
ened to kill her. Ensign Horgan
started to the Salvation Army Hall
with Martin in the flivver. The pro
bationer became obstreperous and
Horgan, who is a pacifist most of the
time, but ar) Irishman all the time,
was compelled to use strong-arm
methods to handle him. Now he is in
jail under observation while Judge
John W. Bale decides what to do
*
with him.
Martin was released under proba
tion by Judge W. jJ. Nunnally after
all other methods had failed to cor
rect the morals of the old man. En
sign Horgan assumed responsibility
for his good conduct and he had been
making good, to the surprise of the
community.
“I’m willing to try him again,”
the judge will permit.”
“The Salvation Army has not fail
ed in this case,” said Judge Bale, who
succeded Judge Nunnally. “It’s only
the material Horgan had to work on.
He has done more to help that old
man .to lead a straight life than I
have ever seen tried on any other
human being. I’m going to think
about the situation seriously before I
decide what to do with Martin now.”
STATE GAME WARDEN
NAMES 1,600 AIDES
FOR ANTI-FISHING ERA
Atlanta, Ga. —The appointment of
1,600 deputy game wardens to aid
in the enforcement of the state fish
ing laws during the closed seasons
that starts Friday, was authorized
on Thursday by Peter S. Twitty,
state game and fish commissioner.
Mr. Twitty has instructed each coun
ty warden to appoint ten deputies,
or even more, if necessary.
It is unlawful to fish with any
thing except a hook and line in
Georgia streams from February 1 to
July 1. Mr. Twitty pointed out. Shad
are the only exception to this rule,
the closed season on shad beginning
April 15.
“I am going to stop the practice
of dynamiting and seining,” Mr.
Twitty declared. “All wardens have
been instructed to put the public on
notice that the laws will be enforc
ed, and then to carry out the pro
visions drastically. This especially
applies to dynamiting, which is an
; inexcusable violation of th? lav.

BASKET BALL NOTES
Jefferson Defeats Georgia Reserves
By a Close Margin
On Tuesday nighf, Jefferson bas
ket ball fans were treated to another
thrilling game, after the two weeks
absence of the M. I. boys from the
home court. The game between the
Georgia Reserves and the fast M. I.
team was even more exciting than
that with Braselton. It was a hard
struggle throughout the entire game,
and the outcome was very doubtful.
At the end of the first half the score
stood 10-15, in favor of M. I. Dur
ing the last half the Georgia boys
made the plucky M. I. team work hard
and fast. The result was a 23-24
victory for Jefferson. Holder and
Sheridan were the leading scorers for
M. I. However, the whole team is
to be commended for its good play
ing.
The M. I. team journeyed over to
Cornelia and Demorest last week,
and defeated both opponents in these
games. The score with Cornelia was
27 to 14, and with Demorest 25 to
20. The M. I. team is making an
enviable reputation.

WORDS OF WILSON TO
GO DOWN IN HISTORY
There is no such thing as a man
being too proud to fight.
The world must be made safe for
democracy.
We must be impartial in thought,
as well as action.
A steadfast concert for peace can
never be maintained except by a
partnership of democratic nations.
There is not hate in our hearts for
the German peQple.
We have always said that we were
the servants and friends of man
kind.
Peace must be planted on the trus
ted foundations of political liberty.
