PROFESSOR TURNER
IS HIGHLY PRAISED.
Popular Member of Locust Grove
Institute Faculty Made Most
Satisfactory Umpire.
We copy the following from the
Athens Banner concerning Prof.
J. B. Turner, of Locust Grove In
stitute.
Professor Turner’s Henry coun
ty friends, who know that he is
worthy of all the good things said
of him, will be glad to read them:
The Banner is in receipt of the
following letter from an old Geor
gia baseball player, now in busi
ness in another city, and the com
. munication is published with much
pleasure:
THE LETTER ABOUT THE UMP.
May I.Bth, 1911.
Editor Athens Banner,
Athens, Georgia.
Dear Sir:
Having witnessed college games
for the past eight years and having
participated in them part of that
time, and realizing the invaluable
services of a fair, honest, and con
scientious umpire, it is but proper
that something should be said
about the umpiring of the recent
games between the Georgia insti
tutions.
There was much agitation be
tween the authorities of the Geor
gia colleges as to who should per
form this important function, and
after boiling down through the
process of elimination, it devolved
upon Professor Turner of Locust
Grove, who was practically un
known in the capacity of umpire.
Too many times in the past have
we witnessed college games, the
pleasure of which was by destroyed
decisions of the umpire which bore
the earmark of dishonesty. Ihe
! colleges of the South have long
! neglected this important depart
i ment of the game, and it is a
source of gratification to the ad-
I mirers of the respective colleges
to see the authorities of several
j colleges devoting so much atten
; tion to this department.
Professor Turner who umpired
the recent games was a distinct
find; he came from Lociitst Grove
and his conduct on the field and
off has served as an invaluable
advertisement to his school as
well as making hundreds of friends
for himself.
The question “Where did he
come from,” has placed the school
of Locust Grove before thousands
of Georgians who otherwise would
not have heard of it.
His every decision carried with
it the impression of honesty, and
fairness and -that he was con
scientiously laboring under a de
sire to do that which he conceived
to be his duty.
He has returned to his duties as
a professor at Locust Grove Pre
paratory School but his name and
the name of Locust Grove are in
dellibly stamped upon the mind of
all lovers of pure athletics, and it
is to be hoped when the umpire
calls “play ball” next Spring, that
it will be this same Professor
Turner who recently rendered in
valuable service and unanimous
satisfaction.
I have a large Select' Line of
Spring and Summer Clothing
which must go at a bargain.

“God always gives us strength
enough and sense enough for
what he wants us to do. If we
either tire ourselves or puzzle our
selves it is our own fu^lt.”
To the Colored People
of Henry County.
We hereby issue a call for a
County School Convention to meet
at McDonough Colored School at
11 o’clock (not 11:15) Saturday,
June 10th, for the purpose of or
ganizing to work out our common
problems. Some of us need build
ings, some desks, some teachers,
and all need longer terms and bet
ter organization.
Let us come together and make
a long, strong pull for better
schools. Other regions are get
tiug substantial outside aid. Why
not you? The rally planned for
March 25th last was postponed,
because all had not had the chance
to co-operate and all could not
have received the benefits. So
come, let’s do this together.
The convention will consist of
the teacher and two delegates from
each school. Make yourself acom
inittee of one to spread the notice
that your school will elects its del
egates Monday night, June 4th,
at the school house. The chair
man of the trustee board will pre
side.
See to it that your school is rep
resented, in order that you may
not be left out when the harvest
comes. We mean business.
We are in touch with a few ex
cellent teachers —no swells, no
dudes, no sports —but honest
teachers of ability, training and
experience. We have asked them
to hold over for a few days.
If your school is vacant and you
have no teacher in mind we can
put you in touch with one of
these, provided you let us know
at once. J. Clifton Smith,
Prin. McDonough Colored School.
