AUSTRIANS DEFEAT SERVIANS IN BIG BATTLES
era UJ ETJ I^J JTJT]
Germany Prepares to Go to Aid of Austria; Belgrade

Ware County Slaton Club Stands Pat
Publications to Contrary Are False
After a desperate effort upon $hi
part of the opposition of Gov. Slatou
to weaken the strong organization of
Ills supporters In this oounty It ap
pears that the opposition has done
nothing but show their own weak
ness, and to make Slaton stronger.
It has been published that three
men who were named upon the Sla
ton Campaign Committee were
supporting Slaton, but were support
ing Congressman Hardwick. It is now
proven that this report Is as false as
many others that the opposition have
published, and possibly will continue
to publish.
The Wayoross Herald made It ap
pear that Dr. R. P. Islar, Dr. J. H.
Latimer, and Mr. John Furlong, who
were named on the Slaton
Committee, were not members of the
Slaton Club, and were not supporting
Gov. Slaton. The falseness of this la
shown by the following statements
from these gentlemen.
Dr. R. P. Islar said, "You may sa>
for me that owing to an anticipated
absence from the city between now
and the election that I do not care to
act aa vice president of the Slaton
Club. OF WHICH I AM A MEMBER.
Dr. J. H. Latimer said: “I km not
taking an active part in politics. No
representative of the Herald hat
spoken to me relative to the Slaton
campaign. I reserve the right to vote
for whom 1 please."
Mr. John Furlong gave the Journal
the following atatement:
"WaycroBs Journal, City.
"Please say for mo that I am sup
porting Gov. Slaton for United States
Senator, notwithstanding reports to
the contrary.
, "Yours truly,
"JOHN FURLONG.'
By the statements of these gentle
men It will be seen that they are all
anpporters of Gov. Slaton, and that
while they do not care to be active In
thla campaign, yet they are going to
vote to help SEND 8LATON TO THE
SENATE.

Advices reaching Waycross today

STUDIES, NOT GRADES
IS PROMOTION PLAN
When the city board of educatiou
meets in August several important
matters will be discussed and dis
posed of, chief among them a recom
mendation Supt A. G. Miller expects
to make concerning promotions. He
has investigated the subject*oarefully
and will suggest to the board that in
future promotions be made by studies
and not by grades.
Under his plan a pupil falling In
one or two studies could continue
with the advanced studies lyfclch were
passed satisfactorily, maklpg up the
studies'In which he failed either by
outside work or by attendlbi; classes.
The plan is used to advantage In a
number or schools, and Is said
keep many pupils In school who af
ter falling of promotion under the
present plan do not return to school.
For graduation a certain number
of units are necessary In high school,
and by the arrangement Supt. Miller
favors failure In on# particular study
will not hold back a pupil's advance
ment. The plan that has been used
here compelled a pupil falling to
In every study to go over the work
passed successfully as well aa going
over the work not passed satisfactor
ily, which Is regarded as uqnless.
