STEWART F. GELDERS, Ebmor .
What we ‘want, says Prof.
Stringer, is a high stanflard of
work of which we will try to at
tain as a prize and not go through
with merely as a necessary evil.
We want to set a goal for our ef
forts and try for that goal as
earnestly as we would for any re
ward. To be more specific, we
should try to pass the mark set
by previous classes in their stud
ies—if last years’ class went to
page 246 we ought to reach page
328, or something like that. In
that way we would keep on im
proving, as we ought, until we
had a peerless school.
The grass at the southeast cor
ner of the campus was fired on
Tuesday morning. This was a
blunder on the incendiary’s part.
We will want the warmth con
tained in that grass some cold
morning this winter and it will
have been wasted on the balmy
November air, which air is al
ready overloaded with dust and
smoke. ; b
The favorite game among “our
younger set’.” is “noble steed”
One boy sits astride another’s
shoulders and another dose like
wise, The “noble steeds” canter
into the arena and the riders come
to grips. The horse and rider who
survive are victors, It is a good
game, and as compared with such
quiet things as jumping off cliffs
and fighting bulls barehanded, it
1s quite safe,
A big jomnt program of the lit
erary circles is to be held Tues
day. Declamation, music, essay,
debate, etc., will be featured. The
exact time of day will.- be an
nounced later. This will be the
first joint program and although
it will not be te standard for
future pcrformaficéé,“will be in
teresting and instructive.
' Foothall practice is getting less
systematic but,is none the less en
thusiastic. Scrub games almost
every afternoon. Some kind of
game will be staged Thanksgiv
ing day, probably against the
town team. But whoever they
play, it will be a good game.
We now have less than five
months to prepare for the district
vontest in Americus and little
more than four months to get
ready for the triangular debate.
The time is distressingly short
and there has been almost noth
ing dene in preparation during
the entire threc months past.
Few of the literary 'ciccles are
doing carnest work yet, several
have but four or five members.
We can win nothing at the rate
we are going, no even a booby
prize. This contest is more im-
MRS. EONA GODBEE
Milledgeville, Nov. 21.—Mrs.
Edna Godbee, serving a sentence
in the Georgia penitentiary here
for the killing of her former hus
band, Judge Walter S. Godbee
and his second wife, in front of
the postoffice at Millen about
three years ago, has been confined
to her bed in the female prison
building at the state farm for the
past three weeks with a nervous
breakdown, which was caused
from her weakened condition
brought about by her suffering
from an intestinal ailment, ac
cording to physicians attending
her case.
Sick in bed, Mrs. Godbee speaks
daily of how grateful she is for
the kindness shown her during
her illness by the prison authori
ties, and continues to appear quite
hopeful of her early release, stat
ing that she has no doubt but that
the prison commission and those
familiar with her case were in
sympathy with her when consid
ering her predicament and the
circumstances surrounding her
case.
'~ Mrs. Godbee Is Hopeful
As a rule, most inmates have a
tendency to abuse the prison au
thorities for ill treatment, though
in the case of Mrs. Godbee, a dif
ferent view/of the situation is ex
pressed. During the many months
of her confinement, she has ex
pressed herself as being hopeful
portant this year to us than ever
before. We absolutely mus* win
it.
The school seems to be in an
apathetic condition which is real
ly pitiful. Some few want to do
something but they are hindered
by the heavy drag of those that
don’t care. We can wipe up the
earth with every school in the
district if we tried. It seems that
we have grown so large in num
bers that our spirit has suffered.
The faculty will help us if we do
anything to start, but they don’t
want to have to use crowbars to
get us going. From the way it
looks at present it'seems that the
school will not be represented hy
the best talent but only by those
who have the pep train. Remem
ber, the representatives will be
chosen before April Ist and vou
can count the days on-the caler
dar for yourself.
} Tuesday was circus day, John
Robinson was here, but very few
played off from school, those who
were going going at night for the
most part. They say that a num
ber of the schools in small towns
close up on circus day. This is
not a small town {n the true sense
of the term and those schools that
close up are not first rank schools
like Fitz-Hi. We have our work
cut out for us to do and have no
time to close for anything. Those
that take advantage of the sympa
thy of their parents and go to cir
cuses regardless should be treat
ed justly but firmly.
The ninth grade science, phy
siography class, recites in the
English room now instead of in
their study room, Mathematics
room. The science recitations are
spread all over the building.
When the two new buildings are
finished, one of the downstairs
rooms will no doubt be vacated
and the science classes can have a
room of their own.
The choir is getting stronger
in training although the number
is not increasing. The music cir
cle is doing more work than any
of the others, at least we suppose
that the choir is the music circle.
But since the choir is getting to
do such pretty work the others are
letting them do it all. They prob
ably prefer to listen than to par
ticipate. For a while the girls
were trying to get male voices in
the singing but they have stop
ped trying now. The next best
things is to get twice as many fe
male voices,

of some day obtaining her release
and that sooner or later, after
wards, she would be able to regain
her health and once more have the
opportunity to live a life in com
fort and without annoyance.
The latter part of this week or
the first of next, it is expected
that the prison commission will
act on the hearing of Mrs. God
bee’s attorneys in their plea~for
her pardon, which was made dur
ing the first week of the past Oc
tober. The imprisoned woman
expresses her implicit confidence
in the outcome of theiappeal made
in her behalf. ! ;

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 20.—Joseph
F. Gray, of Savannah, today at
noon handed Governor Harris his
resignation as a member of the
Georgia railroad commission, the
resignation to be effective the last
day of November.
Mr. Gray will immediately
when the resignation is effective
become general manager of two
railroads in South Georgia, which
are controlled by the Chatham
Banking and Trust company, of
Savannah, of which Leopold Ad
ler is president. Though it has
been known in inner circles for
several days that Mr. Gray prob
ably would resign, the tender of
his resignation will come general
ly as a surprise. ?
He was appointed on the rail
road commission in 1909 by Gov
ernor Joseph M. Brown to fill the
place made vacant by retirement
of Hon.-S. Guyt McLendon; was
elected for the short term in 1910
and re-clected to succeed himself
in 1912 for six years, his present
term expiring Dec 1, 1919,

committee of the Ocilla Southern
railroad, tonight confirmed the
appointment of Joseph F. Gray,
formerly of Savannah, and a
member.of the state railroad com
mission, as general manager of
that railroad. Mr. Adler said to
night that the railroad authorities
are sure they have obtained the
services of an efficient man.
The present general manager
will be retained by the road, it is
understood, but will have a differ
ent title. It is said negotiations
for Mr. Gray’s sérvices have been
in progress for some timé and that
he will leave the commission as
soon as he can be dispensed with
there. Savannah will make an ef
fort to have a Savannah man
named in his place.
Mr. Adler did not say what
plans were contemplated by the
change of officials of thie Ocilla
Southern. There is speculation
here as to what significance it
may have, if any at all, in the dif
ferent plans outlined for extend
ing the state railroad to the sea,
since-the Ocilla Southern was
looked upon as a probable link if
the road should be built either to
Brunswick or St. Marys or by
way of Douglas to Savannah,
Mr. Adler said also that Mr.
Gray would'become vice president
of the East Georgia railroad,
which runs from Glennville to
Register. Mr. Adler himself now
holds that office, but will relin
quish it. '
