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 Open Letter. BAPTISTS TO MEET IT BOSE HILL CHURCH Special to Ths Georgian.

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, “MRS. S. S. CROCKETT, "Chairman Sanitary Com. "MARY WOODS.

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. The enrollment ef the various schools I* given below; Boys’ High school ,, 234 Girls' High school 661 Ivy Street 364 Crew Street 8nl Walker Street .. .. 616 Marietta Street., 361 Fair Street 653 Calhoun 604 Ira Street 371 Davis Street 434 Boulevard 663 Stato Street .. 631 Edgewood Avenue 431 Formwalt Street 434 Krae6r Street ' 862 Williams Street 439 West End 309 Bell Street.. .. .. 310 Grant Park 1 341 Lee Street 249 Tenth Street 338 Summer Hill 778 Houston Street.. 897 Mitchell Street 628 Gray Street 369 Glenn Street .. .. ,. 227 Roach Street 688 StorFe 524 POLICEMAN SHOOTS NEGRODEADIN DUEL Diet on Street After Officer Had Been Abused Foully.
