work
In a large ineas-
the State Nor-
ure unon th
mal School.
Nearly seven thousand teachers have
hail tlie advantage of attending this In
stitution during the past twelve years
and in that period of time there have
been four hundred diplomas Issued.
The relatively small number of dipio-
and even now they are inadequate to
the demands. Every year there are
scores and scores of teachers denied
admission because there is no way in
which they may be accommodated
During all the years of the develop
ment of this institution, it would hav
been impossible to have done the work
had It not been for large gifts from

r,' t that up to within the pnst three [school and of Georgia. Dr. Peabodv

at the State Normal came for only ton t board, the Peabody fund, private
weeks or twenty weeks at a time. Nojv donors of scholarships and the like
the greater number come for the full have been the means by which the
slon and stay three and four ses
sions until they reeeive diplomas.
While the Slate of Georgia could
easily find positions In the schools for
hundreds of graduates each year, the
State Normal with its present facilities
Is turning out only from sixty to eighty
graduates per annum. This number
of trained teachers, however, make
their training tell throughout the en
tire State, and the educational forces
of Georgia arc under deep obligations
to them ln many ways.
Fully one hundred thousand chil
dren in this State have received the
benefits of this Institution through the
teachers that have been sent out. Pos
sibly this Is a smaller estimate than
should be made. Every county in
Georgia lias felt the Influence of the
State Normal. Every year from ninety
to one hundred and twenty counties in
t ie State are represented ln the student
body nnd thus the benefits of the
school are scattered far and wide over
tho State.
Its Graduates in Demand.
Graduates of the State Normal
School are In demand at nil times.
President Branson is every day and
every week besieged with requests for
teachers from tho different school
boards throughout the State. He finds
no trouble In placing ail his grau-
ates In positions as soon ns they re
ceive their diplomas. The only trouble
is that he demand for normal-trained
teachers In this Stale far exceeds the
«u poly.
The school has raised its curriculum
and made Its course of study so thor
ough nnd so well adapted to the needs
of the common schools that the boards
of education all over Georgia recognize
the worth of n Normal School diploma
and ure anxious to secure the teachers
who hold them.
Wherever the State Normal School
graduates have gone they have made
an impress unon Ihe school and the
community. They have succeeded in
bringing order out of chaos in many
Instances nnd in giving to the coun
ties in which thev have located better
schools nnd better training for the
young.
The aim of Ihe Slate Normal School
is to bring its work up to a point where
each year at least two hundred teach
ers may be graduated, .so that the
demand for the teaehers In the •com
mon srools may ln a measure be
satisfied
Soma of It* Feature*.
The essentials of n common school
education are carefully taught at the
Stale Normal. II has one of the best
faculties in the South, and under the
administration of President wrnnson
the faculty has been strengthened from
year to year nnd the course of study
made more and more effective. It
so arranged as to primarily nnd thor
oughly look after the preparation of
teachers for work in the common
school has been pushed forward along
the lines of Its great development
The State has In recent years been
liberal with the State Normal, but
even with the liberality of the State,
it has been necessary to rely largely
on outside help. There has never been
a year when the appropriations made
by the State have been sufficient t.:
cafry on this great work, but in some
way the management has carried it on
The Practice School.
This Is one of the best features of
the State Normal School. It is
charge of Miss Celeste Parrish anil
Miss Lollie M. Smith. In this branch
of the school there are conducted reg
ular classes, and the little children
are given exactly the training they
would receive in the very best school
nnywherp. The students’ at the State
Normal School are thus given the op
portunity to see the actual teaching of
children according to the latest and
best methods.
Thus the students gain an actual ex
perience In teaching that stands them
well in hand in the years to come when
they have graduated and become
actual teachers in the schools of the
State.
The moral and religious atmosphere
at the State Normal ls the very best.
The Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A;, the
twilight prayer meetings, the Bible
study groups, all have a marked influ
ence on the lives of the teachers in
attendance there.
A good library has been secured
after years of effort and the students
nr» thus afforded splendid library fa
cilities. This Is being added to year by
year as the funds at the disposal of
the school management are available.
Some of the School’s Needs.
The State Normal is anxious to
reach a point where accommodations
can be provided for at least five hun
dred students per annum. To do this
will require dormitory room for at
least one hundred more than the
dormitories of the school will now ac
commodate. This will require enough
money to erect the required dormitory
buildings.
A library building Is needed such as
will accommodate ten thousand vol
umes. An Infirmary with at least
eight or ten rooms is needed. The area
of the campus should be larger In or
der to carry on the work of the school
more effectively. Additional land will
have to be bought for this purpose.
The classes of the institution are
now rather crowded. Additional floor
space for class rooms is needed. And.
us the attendance upon the school in
creases. there will arise a need for
more members of the faculty.
Working for the Future.
Every one connected with the State
Normal School is a worker. Every one
is full of enthusiasm ln this work.

FISCAL YEAR OF GOVERNMENT
CLOSES SHOWING A MOST
PROSPEROUS CONDITION.
WASHINGTON, June 30—So far as
working purposes ure concerned, the
fiscal year of the Government closed
today with a surplus of substantially
$87,000,000, one of the largest net bal
ances ever shown. In the fiscal year
1902 there was a surplus of $91,-’87,375,
but that was the largest since 1890.
While the official figures for the fiscal
year will not announced until Monday,
tho figures available today are approx
imately accurate.. They show that in
the year just closed the income from
the various sources of revenue was
$665,306,133 and the expenditures $57
376.709. as compared with receipts of
$539,571,286 for the last fiscal year,
and expenditures of $568,322,798. the
surplus in that year being $25,669,232.
There has been a tremendous increase
in rates in the year just closing, while
tlie expenditures have been onlv about
$10,000,000 In excess of the last year.
The largest Increase in receipts has
been from customs, although internal
revenue has shown a big gain. The
receipts from the different sources this
fiscal year have been as follows: Cus
toms $333,230,126: internal revenue,
$270,309,388: miscellaneous. 61.766.619.
There has been no year In the his
tory of the country in which the re
ceipts from customs came within many
millions of the present year. The re
ceipts last year held the record up
to that time and this year's income
from that source is about. $33,000,000
in excess of last year. Internal reve
nue rr^telpts likewise broke all records,
except during the Spanish war, when
pecial taxes were being colletced.

President Roosevelt and also the Amer

i in Washington see clearly the im

ago in resentment of the treatment ac
corded Chinese of the better class en
tering America, in the course of their
ravels around the world, was pro
ductive of better conditions, for the
administration exerted all of its power
to ameliorate the rigors of the exclu
sion laws and to facilitate the entry
of Chinese merchants and students.
Therefore It ls assumed the Japanese
merchants have decided to have re

their resentment against the treatment
accorded their people in San Francisco.
NUMBER OF DEAD NINE,
AND SEVENTEEN INJURED
copies of the reports they made to the
agency for transmission to the mine
owners.
Frisdman Was Copyist
Friedman was a confidential stenog
rapher under Detective McPartiand.
and, so he testified, it was a part of
his duty to recopy the reports of the
operatives as they reached the office.
Friedman swore that in several in
stances the detectives sent by the
agency in behalf of the mine owners
get elected to high union offices, and in
a couple of Instances they carried their
daring parts to the extent of sharing
all the hardships of real strikers and
being finally deported from the country
with real strikers. Ten feet from Fried
man’s chair sat Geo. W. Redell, who
a Pinkerton detective, worked up
leadership in the Telluride union
Turning to him, by direction of Ciar
enee Darrow, the witness identified
Redeli, who smiled and touched his
chest as Friedman pointed toward him.
Friedman said that one Pinkerton
operative became chairman of th
strike relief committee at Globeville
and as such had charge of all the food
and funds disbursed there by the local
union and general federation.
Tried to Beggar Federation,
'Friedman said that by instructions
from his superiors at the Pinkerton
agency, this man just tried to beggar
the federation by lavish expenditure
behalf of the strikers, and failing
this he cut the relief down to the low
est point of stinginess in the hope that
the members of the union might cen
sure Haywood. Friedman was twice
interrupted to give way to other wit
nesses and did not get beyond the iden
tification and a brief sketch of each
operative employed in the espionage of
the federation’s strike operations and
the identification of several of the cor.
fidentiai reports.
The latter were not read and will be
offered in evidence Monday when
Friedman will continue his testimony
The examination did not show
whether Friedman entered the em
ployment of the Pinkertons as a spy
in behalf of labor organizations
whether his decision to make public
his knowledge of the document he took
was reached after he was employed.
Miscellaneous Testimony.
Aside from the introduction
Friedman, the defense also offered
large amount of testimony covering
Orchard’s credibility, the dispute as to
the time Orchard sold his Interest in

the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill was
destroyed. Harry Orchard was at Mul
Ian, eighteen miles from Wardner.
They placed him in a poker game, and
Patrick McPhale. a barkeeper, swore
tteit he sat in the game. By various
trreans, including a showing that Mc-
Hale is a gambler, the prosecution en
deavored to break this testimony, but
both witnesses held to their stories.
Conditions in Bull Pen.

knew, described conditions in tha

by menacing him with bayonets. Judge
Theron Stevens, now of Goldfield, but
once of the district of Telluride,
traced the history of the relations be
tween the courts and the soldiery in
the troublous days of the strike. He
testified that when the deporters tried
to use the injunction to get back to
their homes, the Governor returned the
district to the control of martial law,
and that the writ of habeas corpus and
the subsequent order in the case of
Chas. H. Moyer were both disregarded
by Gen. Sherman Bell and Capt.

•In the decision rendered by Judge
J. C. Pritchard at Asheville. N. C.,
Saturday In the case of the Southern
Railway and the Atlantic Coast Line
against the North Carolina Railroad
Commission it is a coincidence that no
mention is made about the Southern
Railway. The case was to prevent the
enforced rate enactments of the State
legislature of that State.
The decision in full is ns follows:
"It is charged In the bill filed by the
complainant that tho legislature of
North Carolina at its recent session
passed an act regulating freight and
passenger rates and that by virtue of
the provisions of said act, complain
ant is about to be deprived of its prop
erty without due process of law. The
complainant seeks to enjoin the en
forcement of certain freight and pa
senger rates upon the ground, that the
statute proscribing ihe same is re
pugnant to the constitution of the
United States. It is contended that
the lapse of any considerable time
would expose complainants to innum
erable suits by shippers and the trav
eling public, as well as subject them
to the penalties enumerated in the
statutes. Among other things the
complainant prays for an injunction
against the Railway Commissioners
the Attorney General and the Assist
ant Attbrnev General, during the pen
dency of this case.
On the 8th day of May, 1907 an
order was entered restraining the de
fendants from enforcing the provi
sions o fthe aforesaid act. and that tho
time notice was issued to the defend
ants to appear before me oi. the 26th
day of this montli and show cause why
the injunction thus gained should not
be continued until final hearing. The
defendants assert :
First: That this is a suit against
the State of North Carolina, and that
the court cannot take jurisdiction of
the same consistently within the elev
enth amendment to the Constitution
of the United States.
Second: It is also amended that
complainant has not shown facts suf
ficient to justify tho court In continu
ing the injunction until tha final hear
ing.
• Much has been properly said by
counsel representing the State in re
gard to the soverlgnty of the State,
and its right to deal with this question
through its legislature. That the leg
islature of the State has the authority
with certain limitations, to fix freight
and passenger rates, is undoubtedly
true and is universally recognized by
the Federal Courts. The courts of the
United States have at all times ac
knowledged and respected the power
of the State in the administration nnd
enforcement of its laws, within the
limitation of the constitution of the
United States: but while this is true
it Is equally as important that any
right guaranteed to a citizen by the
constitution of the United States,
should be fairly and impartially en
forced. whenever presented to the
United States courts for consideration.
The court does not undertake at this
time to pass upon the constitutional
ity of the act of the legislature, inas
much as that question cannot be prop
erly decided until after a thorough con
sideration of all of the questions in
volved in tho controversy, and until
the master shall report his findings
of facts in respect to same.
After carefully considering the very
able tnd exhaustive arguments of
counsel representing complainants and
defendants I am of the opinion that
this is not a suit against the State,
within the meaning of the eleventh
amendment but that It is a suit
against the defendants, who are
charged by the laws of North Caro
lina with the administration and en
forcement of the act in question. The
videnee offered by the complainant
relating to the allegations contained
In the bill, when considered with the
evidence offered by the defendants,
while not conclusive, nevertheless
raises an issue as to the matters in
controversy so serious in character
That the court • feels constrained to
Continue the restraining order in
force until the final hearing.
Tho instructions of this court will
Necessarily delay the determination
of the right of the public as well as
those of the complainant, neverthe
less. under the order that is to be en
tered in this case the rights of the
public will be safeguarded so as to
preserve to it the benefit sought to be
conferred "by the passage of the act.
in the event that such act should bo
declared constitutional. While, on the
other hand, if the court should dis
solve the restraining order at this
time, the complainant would be left
without a remedy in the event that
it should ultimately prevail.
An order will he entered requiring
the complainant to enter a bond con
ditional for the payment into the
registry of the court, a sufficient sum
of money to reimburse persons who
may purchase tickets of the com
plainant to the extent of difference
between the amount now charged and
the proposed rate, and a sum equal to
tfie -difference to tho aggregate freight
rates now charged, and those to be
fixed under the act of the legislature,
in the event that it should be finally
determined that the complainant is
not entitled to the relief determined in
the bill.
Owing to the fact that the questions
nvolved in this controversy are of
Ital importance, not only o the com
plainants. but to the public as well
is highly important that there should
be a speedy determination of the same
and while it will entail additional la
bor upon me. I think that this case
should be set down for final hearing
not later than the first Monday In
October, thus affording an opportu-
nitv to have the matter heard and a
final determination of same by the
Supreme Court, at the earliest possi
ble moment.
The court will file an opinion in this
case at an early date, in which it will
discuss every opinion involved in this
controversy.”
Following the decision of Judge
Pritchard in thp North Carolina rase
he rendered further opinion .as follows:
“In view of the discussion between
Judge Shepard and Capt. Thom, this
morning, in regard to the enforcement
the restraining order which I have
st entered. I deem it my duty to say
that in continuing the order until a
aring. I have adopted ample and suf
ficient means to protect the interests of
the public to the fullest extent, by re
quiring the complainant to file a bond
gainst the payment of the registerv of
the court a sum of money equal to the
fference between the present rates
and the proposed rates in the event
that the act of the legislature should
be declared constitutional.

would begin sometime in tho near fu
ture, probably by fall. Engineer lias com

that remain to be done, and it is believed
that these will have been arranged dur
ing the summer.
At the meeting the directors entertained
a nroposltlon from the citizens of Barnes-
ville either to build a 15-mile branch to
that town, or else t?o through it, and
make up the loss of distance by moving
tlie lino a few miles west of Forsyth.
nnd In spite of its bleaching with age,
the wood was as sound as a nut.

The sight of that old corn sheller sef
Mr. Amason to thinking. Not only did
ho remember that it was one of the
things that had been banded down to
his father by his mother’s people. hnT
it reminded him of the story of hQW
his forebears came to Georgia, as it
passed from lips of father and from
lips of son. It. was a. story of th-
pioneer, his hardships, his privati #s,
his struggles and his early life, when,
in tho full flush of health and sturdy
strength, he pressed foot on the roads
that led through where Macon is today
to the unsettled sections beyond the
borders of Bibb.

There Is no need to he. exact ns to
dates, but it was somewhere in the
lS20’s that Mr. Amason’s maternal
grandparents. Charles Kitchens and
Lovenla Braswell, then living on the
Tar River, In North Carolina, hearing
of the fertile lands of Georgia, then i
land of golden promise, bade farewell
to relatives and friends and Joined a
party of about two hundred to settle In
the new country. The Kitchens and
Braswells brought their cows with
them, nnd the faithful animals not oniv

when it will be acted on.
As it Is now. the line is some 15 miles
from B.nrnesville. The loop made by
the Central Railroad was cut off by the
lnterurban so as to shorten the distance
from Atlanta to Macon, making it SK
mile* against the Central's 193 miles:,
and the Southern’s 87 miles. As the di
rectors do not propose to make the line
longer, they would either have to build
a branch line to Barnesville, or else leave
out Forsyth and go west of it.

were three months coming. These
good people walked every step of the
way.
There were many of the party who
had no carts, but they were equal to
the task. They had set out for the
land of promise, and the determina
tion to reach it sharpened their wits.
Through a hogshead they ran a pole
to serve as an axle. To the ends of
the pole rude shafts were placed and
the hogshead, filled with bedding, etc.,
was roiled over the roads, drawn by
cows or oxen.

do so until the evidence taken by the

court having assumed Jurisdiction of
parties as well as the subject matter
of controversy, it follows that it has
the power to proscribe and protect its
necessary jurisdiction until there shall

citizens to refrain from in anywise in
