THE MAN WHO HELPS BOYS
TO GOVERN THEMSELVES,
“Nothing Without Labor” is
the motto of the Georgia Junior
Republic, and hard work, earnest
study and intelligent self-govern
ment are indeed the basic prin
ciples of the little educational
commonwealth at Freeville, New
Y >rk, and its sturdy young citi
z is. The republic is not, as
n iny imagine, a reform school:
f r, though some boys have been
< omitted there, others have
I n sent by their fathers, who
g ally pay to have their sons re
■, five a thorough training in prac
, tl citizenship: and Mr. George
<i blares with pride that not one
! <v who has completed his course
in the republic has yet ‘‘gone
■ong. ” It was through his ex-
I rience in dealing with the
rougher element in a colony of
Fresh Air” children established
on his farm in the summer of
11 that Mr. William R. George
d. covered that the best way of
; .erning hoys as well as adults
imply to help them to govern
t 'mselves; for they t hus learn
ii; practice their rational obliga
ti -ns to themselves and others.
The little republic that he found- ;
ed in pursuance of this idea now
controls three hundred and fifty
acres of land with a herd of sixty
cattle, eight teams of horses, a
piggery and a poultry plant. Its
industries include a bakery, a
plumbing establishment, a steam
laundry, a cement-tile plant, a
store, a carpenter shop, a smithy ,
and a printing plant, where a
weekly paper, The Citizen, is
published. Half of each “citi
zen’s” day is spent in school
nearly all are in advanced gram
mar and high-school grades. The
other half is spent in whichever
available employment the citizen
l. s chosen: but “they that eat
must work.” The workers re
ceive on an average from three
dollars and fifty cents to four dol
lars and fifty cents a week in
aluminum money, redeemable in
United States’ currency at the
Republic Rank. The boy who,
because of superior industry, can
a I ford it may hoard at a cottage
called "The Waldorf” because of
its superior food and accommoda- 1
tions. The lazy, and therefore
jKtorer. hoy must be content with i
the plain quarter and simple food
of the “lieanery.” Woman’s
Home Companion for May.
TEACHER IN COURT
FOR WHIPPING CHILD,
Cordele, Ga.. April 15. The'
most sensational justice court
trial heard in Cordele within re
cent months was called this morn
ing before Judge 11. M. Camp
bell. in which Professor Jason
Scar boro, superintendent of the
O’Neal High school, was arraign
ed as defendant on a charge of
assault and battery upon the per-,
son of Stanley, the U-yeiu'-old son
of R. T. Dumas, who caused the
warrant to l*e issued a few days
i\. ;o.
i tis case grew out of alleged
i 1 punishment administered
t young Dumas for violating
i tin rules of the school.
The court room was crowded
t’ oughout the hearing by pupils,
t hers and spectators, many
< whom had been summoned as
w nesses.
■mt‘ of the lady teachers.
\ ». perhaps, never before were
i fired to appear in a court
< \ were included among the
nesses.
vt the conclusion of the hear
i Professor Scarboro was
1 .and over to the city court on a
.bond of SIOO.

JESSE MORRIS,
Grand father is dead! How |
sad are those words to his loved
ones and a host of friends in the
county.
Our grand-father, Jesse Mor
ris, died at his old home Saturday
evening last, 7 o’clock. He had
been sick for about three weeks,
and bis grand-sons who have re
sided with him for several years j
were with him at the close and
did all that loving hands could do
to allay his suffering, hut alas,
Death claimed him.
On the beautiful God-given!
Faster evening the remains were
laid to rest in the Ferguson cem
etery, being the family burial
ground, and the impressive ser
vices were read In Rev. l>. E.
I ’aimer, who had been requested
before death came to officiate,
i Our grand-father was a Veteran,
from whose ranks they are going
one by one. He was in his 88th
year, a member of the Primitive
Baptist church, and lived a life
worthy to he followed. He talked
of bis home above and those who
had preceded him to the grave.
He was willing to go but regret
ted to leave the dear little ones
whom he had nurtured.
O how the prattling little ones
will miss the aged grand-fat her
who was such a guide to them.
Yes. we miss him in our homes
and in our hearts: but he is gone.
:ul we would not call him hack.
H. sleeps the sleep of the just
to wait the resurrection morn,
il -is a happier estate the rest
a-id peace of the eternal world,
whore the souls of men are at
home forever with their Maker.
Besides other relatives survi
ving him are hischildren: Messrs.
Angus. Tom and I. J. Morris arifl
Mesdames Nannie Parley, Mary
Moore and Maggie Darden.

WILD CAT DESTROYED
m, JOHNSONS PIGS.
Cordele, On,, April lfi.—Judge
E. S. Johnson, a prosperous far
mer of Dooly county, whose farm
is partly located near Bay Point
on Flint river, has been troubled
in many ways by wild cats. Mr.
Johnson is very f »nd of stm:k and
poultry raising, and has a number
of very fine hogs on Ins farm, [
many of which run on the pasture
near the river. Many of l lie
young porkers have been missing
and Mr. Johnson has been unable j
to account for it until lecentlv, ;
w hen late in the afternoon he j
heard a noise down in the pasture:
among the hogs, and hurrying to
the scene was amazed to find a
large wild cat enjoying a full;
meal from one of the fanciest
“shoats,” in the pasture Mr
Johnson gave chase, but having
no gun or pistol with him was tin-:
able to do any damage to the!
hungry cat.
At night a party of men with j
forty dogs set chase and after a
i very exciting race lasting for sev
eral hours, the animal was cap-:
] lured, and carried to the scene ot
its crime where it .was executed.
I Mr. Johnson lias lost fifty pigs a
| vear.
