The obstinate driving of their
buggy in the middle of the road
by its occupants, was said to be
the cause of an accident which
happened to Mr. Clifford Tucker
on his way home on the Ashton
road, about two miles from this
city. .
Mr. Tucker was driving with
bright lights and a good alarm,
but the occupants of the buggy
ahead of him deliberately held the
center of the road. Mr. Tucker,
i trying to drive around them,
miscalculated his angle and turn
ed his'car over on himself, break
ing'two ribs. He was brought to
the city for medical attention and
is reported doing alright.
~"The Thalians, University of
Georgia Dramatic Club, present
&l “A Pair of Sixes” at the opera
hduse Friday evening before a
“select” audience, viz: a small au
dience. The players, however, car
ried their parts with a vim and
zest, presenting the interesting
farce in a pleasing manner. The
principals, Miss Baxter and Mr.
McPhail, carried their roles in a
polished manner while the char
acter work of Miss Webb, Miss
Nicholson, Mr. Miller, Mr. Harold
and our own Sammy Kasseivitz
was truly delightful. Miss Aull
-and M¥. Morrison as “‘second
leads” presented a great” deal of
enjoyable comedy, Mr. Morrison
playing perhaps the most difficult
role in the sketch.
We wereall highly satisfied
with Sam Kassewitz’s work, it
coming fully up to the standards
he had set while a student at Fitz-
Hi. Mr. Harrold, formerly of
Americus High School, put life
into a “silent” part in a way
worthy of more experienced an
acter. It was, taken part by part,
and as a whole, a most splendid
production, and it is the misfor
tune of all who missed seeing it.

lected speakers for the occasion.

on the part they play in forming
and molding character, the great
privilege it should be to have an
opportunity to thus help in the
development of a higher civiliza
tion. Rev. Mann deplored the
fact that.so many of our teachers
only take these places as a make
shift until better financial oppor
tunities offered themselves and
who fail to sce the greater com
pensation in the world's work.
Mr. G. V. Cunningham, assist
ant agricultural extension agent,
representing the College of Agri
culture, addressed the members
on the daily needs of the schools,
scholars and patrons and urged
greater co-operation between the

suggestions, which he presented
for the consideration of . the
teachers, was the formation of pig
clubs at the school houses and the
development of school gardens.

mary teachers of the city schools,

‘ 11375 Y PIN
QGENTISTS SAY PINS
' Atlanta, Ga., December 2—A
'new and simple explanation of the
threadbare puzzle of what be
comes of the millions of pins man
ufactured every day has been ad
vanced by Prof. William J. Cole,
Atlanta’s aged scientist whose re
searches in many fields entitle
{him to world-wide renown.
- With his customary simple di
rectness, I'rof. Cole explains that
a pin when exposed to the atmos
phere will rapidly change into a
brownish rust for which the
scientific name is ferrous oxide,
and will simply dissolve into the
air and disappear.
If you doubt it, says the profes
' sor, put away a pin and watch it..
