In Richmond, Va., at the Home for
Needy Confederate Women, Is an In
mate who waa the only woman who
was a Confederate captain commla-
eloned by President Davis, which is
signed by President Davis and the
secretary of war, Leroy P. Walker.
She Is Mlse Sally Tompklne, of Vir
ginia, born in 1812 In Mathews county,
and she still has In her possession the
papers. At the time she was captain,
Miss Tompkins was only 87 years old,
and was quite wealthy. With her mon
ey she established a hospital for tho
care of the Confederate soldiers who
were 111 nnd wounded.
. In the year 1862 President Davis or
dered all the private hospitals to be
closed and that alt the officers who
were then In charge should go to the
field hospitals under the direction of
the Confederate army, When this or
der ceme, Miss Tompklne resolved to
carry out her original plan; that Is,
to run her hospital aa she had Intended,
and sho appealed to the president to
allow her this privilege. President Da
vis then decided to make her a captain
In the cavalry without doing active
service In the Held. When Miss Tomp
kins accepted the commission she re.
fused to receive any pay for the posi
tion, so the money was turned back
Into the tronsury of the Confederate
states. While the war was in progress
1,180 soldiers were cared for at this
hospital, and under the direction of this
noble Southern woman. .
Miss Tompkins Is'now 72 years laid,
and Is a charming, lovable and true
Southern gentlewoman, who commands
the love nnd respect of every person
In Richmond. She will never allow her
picture to be taken for the press, as
she only has one In existence, the one
which adorns the cqurt house wall In
Mathews county.
She is called “Coueln Sally” by all
Richmond people, and she Is loved by
them ay. Her home Is to be the Con
federate Home for as long as she likes
and she Is allowed to go and com*
when she pleases.
Mis* Tompklne haa the sweet vole*
and cultured manner of tho Southern
aristocrat.

An 6pen letter has been written ond
published by the Centennial Club of
Nashville, Tenn., which comes from
ths pen of the chairman and secretary
of the sanitary committee. It explains
Itself and should be of Interest to wom
en throughout the state who are
housekeepers. The letter Is as follows;
“Centennial Club, 61 Arcade, Nash
ville, Aug. 28, 1806.—My Dear Madam:
Realising that most ol our food sup
plies come from the market house,'
whether we go there to purchase them
or depend for them on local grocery-
men, we wish to ask your aid In bring
ing shout Improved conditions.
"Will you kindly visit the market
house soon and observe the accumula
tion of dirt and fly-specks upon the
celling, frame-work of stalls and meat
hooke? Notice the unnecessary clut
ter under the atalls, the filthy chicken
coops, which ore, we hear, allowed to
remain from day to day; the dressed
fowls exposed to flies, and the cast-off
meat anil other garbage thrown upon
tho floor, pavement and Into the gut
term.
“The condition of the pavement nnd
gutters Is perhaps the most disgusting
and obtrusive feature of the case, am
should be the easiest to remedy, be
cause each offense of this nature Is a
direct violation of a well-understood
law.
"As the morketmaeter, J. H. Fly,
singularly blind to these offenses;
the chief of police, Captain Curran, can
only suggest that the ladles themselves
come forward and dally wash out the
market house, and as the mayor, T. O.
Morris, Issues orders that are constant
ly disobeyed, we feel that we must call
upon the housekeepers of Nashville,
the patrons of the marketmen, to make
an effort to arouse among them a sense
of the real necessity for a radical
change of conditions.
"We therefore beg that aa often as
you can make It convenient you will
make It a point to express your wishes
on this subject to all those with whom
you deal.
"We taka It for granted that you
have long deplored moat of what we
have written. Working alone, each of
us feels powerless. It will require the
combined efforts of the hpufekeepers
of Nashville to bring about the results
we must all desire. If we are success
ful In this limited area, w* hope It will
prove only an opening wedge with
which greater things may be necom-
pllahed for Greater Nashville.
"If you will co-operate In this mat.
ter, kindly reply to this letter, and be.
Ileve us, cordially yours,

B. AND O. PEOPLE
IN OWN BUILDING
Baltimore, Md., Sept. 8.—This Is
moving day for the Baltimore end
Ohio Rnllwny Company. The great
new Jt.OQM.oon skyscraper central of
fice building at Baltrr.tura and Charles
streets waa Illuminated last night for
the first time from basement to roof.
Scores of vana today moved office fur
niture, flies, cabinets, etc., from the
several temporary quarters occupied
since th* great Are of Fabruary, 1104.
Hundred! of clerka and employees, un
der the direction of official*, are eet-
ting thing* to right. When all th*
Itoors are occupied there will be near
ly 2,000 B, A O. people In the building.
President Murrey will not occupy
his splendid office until the 11th. He
believes there Is luck In that number.

OVER 100 POPILS
ARE CROWDED OUT
OF CITY SCHQOLS
But Seats for 14,382 Have
Been Provided For
Children of City.
With over a hundred children unable
to secure seats, and 14,382 already pro
vided for, the Atlanta public schools
have started on what promises to be
the most prosperous year In their his
tory.
Notwithstanding the fact that six
new school buildings have been provid
ed for during the past year, some of
which, however, are not quite com
pleted, Superintendent Slaton stated
Saturday morning that the schools were
worse crowded this yenr than ever be
fore, but that It would be a question of
only a short time until transfers would
be made which would enable every
child In the city to secure a seat. Th*
greatest crowding Is reported In the
second and third grades on the south
side, but this can soon be overcome.
One of the hardest problems facing
the teachers this year will be the
change In the system of handwriting
taught. For several years past the ver
tical system, which wus thought to be
more legible, has been In vogue In the
City schools, but on account of com
plaints from tho business men of the
city, that It was unnecessarily slow,
end no more legible then the old slant
ing system, It has been dropped. Pro
fessor Smith, who Is In charge of the
business department of tile Boys' High
school, has undertaken to took after the
details of the change In the wfly of In
structing tho teachers, etc.
