THE BANHEBs WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18.1902
MISS SMITH CAPTIVATES
f LARGE AUDIENCE OH
UNIVERSITY STAGF.
(Continned from page 1.)
The graduating exercises will occnr
today at eleven o’clock and the address
of the day will be made by Hon.'Edward
SI Shepard, the distinguished New
York jurist.
After his address the delivery of the
Wilcox prizes, the Edward Thompson
prizes and the $100 f given by Judge
Horace Russell will be made; the de
grees conferred on the senior and law
classes and the session of 1001-02 will be
t.t an end. ^
tin cans, trash, and paper are disappear
ing from the streets and court hous<
^square. Shade trees are being set out,
and the whole town is organized into a
village improvement olnb.
At last Greenwood has a school, the
work of which is related directly and
helpfully to the sooial and economic
needs of oommunity life. The / pupils
are getting, not less, but more and bet
ter instruction in aocademic subjects,
than ever before; but also they are get
ting lessons in sewing, cooking, manual
training, the handacrafts, gardening
and nature study. The school building
is painted inside and out, and is equip
ped with modern furniture. The walls
are ornamented with pictures and casts,
and the handiwork of the children. A
library of noble books is growing rap
idly.
Shade trees and flower plants have
been set out by the pupils. The school
property speedily made everything else
in the town look shabby; and now the
town is racing with the school to pre
sent a tidy appearance to the world.
The school is the pride of the town, and
the town will soon be the pride of the
sohool.
The teachers in the school have had
special professional training. They do
not believe that learning comes to chil
dren as easily as flying to birds and
swimming to fishes; but they do believe
that attraction is better than propulsion
as a motive. They believe in leading,
not in driving. There has been no
case of flogging in this sohool this year,
and yet no children have ever worked
harder or profited more. The teachers
believe that children’s minds grow by
being nourished, and net by being
stretched on a rack. They do not be
lieve in breaking into children’s heads,
as burglars break into houses. They do
not believe with Mrs. Pipohin, that
children’s minds are to be prized opsn
with a fork, as oysters are. They do
believe that the things whioh children
learn in school ought to be things that
they need in the world outside, that
learning Bhould be related to life. They
believe that schools in rural communi
ties should teach the things that chil
dren will need to know in order to live
happily and prosperously in rural com
munities. They believe that country
civilization, at its beet, is sane and
- sound, healthsome and wholesome, and
that it is a kind of civilization that en
dures, when all other civilizations fall
into decay.
They hope to establish in this com
munity suoh remunerative firieside and
household industries as have made Hoi
land the richest country in the world;
and so they are teaohing the ohildrcn to
take willow twigs, long leaf pine needies,
reeds, and the bamboo of the swamps
and make out of these materials artioles
of use and beauty. More and more the
elements of agriculture are being taught
nnderthe name of “nature study;’’ the
purpose being to root the education of
those children deeply in the soil. They
believe that the plain people of Georgia
need tastefnl, thoughtful occupation,
almost as muoh as they need education.
It is a happy sohool set -down in
chappy'oommurity, and already these
people are being anointed with the oil
of gladness, that David sings of. These
teachers believe that we do not need
more education in Georgia of the kind
we now have; but more education of a
better ki ad, and they believe that the
realizing of a great ideal will require the
strength and fervor and wisdom of the
great Pentatozsi himself. More than
millions of money we need in Georgia
the spirit of this father of modern edu
cation, who was oontent to live like a
panper among paupers in order to teach
paupers how to live like men.
When we have everywhere schools pf
this kind, tanght by teachers of this
sort, our legislators will not deem pub
lie school money a waste but a wise ini
vestment. What we need in the life of
the nation tomorrow, we must pu(j in
the sohools today; and the women Of
Georgia are leading the way.. The
sohool that I have described has not
been conjured out of the imagination '; it
is one of the two sohools founded and
nurtured by the Federation of Women’s
Olnbs, in Georgia. They have set a
little child in the midst of their ideals
and purposes for the regeneration of our
oivilization: and He who blessed little
children, will surely bless them in their
noble undertaking I
Meeting of the Trustees.
The board of trustees at their meeting
yesterday re-elected Prof. J. M. Steph
enson as Tutor in English and elected
Mr. R. L. McWhorter as tutor iu Latin
and Greek. The remainder of their
work was routine.
Today’s Session.
Today is oommenoement day, that
day so well remembered in every college
boy’s life; it marks the dividing of the
sohool life from the real life of every
day business, and is a great white mile
stone to many a career of greatness and
usefulness. „

days in attendance upon the meeting of

tion with a Banner reporter yesterday
said he wonld move his family here next
fall, Athens will give them |a cordial
welcome.
The many commencement visitors
have noticed the large red and black
flag floating to the breeze from over the
water tower and every member of the
Senior class which is to be graduated
today tells with pride how it was stealth
ily planted there last Saturday night by
a member of “naughty two.”
Bnt the fact leakeJ out yesterday that
a member of this bright and ingenious
class gave a negro a quarter to olimb to
the top of the tower Saturday night and
float the 1902 banner to the breeze and
that the seemingly daring feat could not
be attribnted to the men of “naughty
two,” but to a little coon. And now
they are sorry they spoke.
Don’t think that eruption of yours
can’t be cured. Take Hood's Sarsapar-
rilla—its virtue is its power to cure.

People most be well fed in* this world
if they are expeoted to do good work
A CBjrpenter with poor tools most take
less wages and handle the poor jobs. So
in life, the person with a weak, badly
nomished body mnBt get ont of the way
for the strong ones.
A sohool teacher writes from Ver
mont. She had been compelled to take
a little backwoods sohool for Bm&ll
wages because she had not the strength
to conduct a better sohool.
“Small appetite and poor digestion
kept me weak. I had been compelled
to rest at the noon hoar and shut my
self away from all company morning
and night. In this way OzdyiOOUaLSj
work, up to about a year ago, wl en a
lady visiting here from Califerni . led
me to share a dish of Grape-Nuts with
her. Daring the winter I ate occasion
ally of the food, always with gcc 1 re
salts.
Lust July it was necessary for me to
attend the summer sohool for teaohers.
Being poor in purse and sick in body I
coul d not pay the expense of boarding in
a big place, so I rented a room and
boarded myBelf. Grape-Nuts and cream
tasted good and I lived almost exclusive
ly on the food.
Gradually, to my surprise, toward the
dose of the seoond week the sort of
mental haze that had been about me for
a long time broke away and I grasped
the thought presented with a clearness I
had not known for a long time.
I came down to my school with better
health and memory than I have known
for 20 years, and now, while at work, I
repeat I have better nerve and brain
power and better digestion than 1 have
had before in 20 yean.”
There is a reason for this. Grape-
Nats Food is a snre, steady brain build

Spring Fever.
Spring (ever is another name for bil
ionsness. It is more serious than most
people think. A torpid liver and inact
ive bowels means a poisoned system. If
neglected, serious illness may follow
snoh symptoms. DeWitt’s Little tiarly
Risers remove nil danger by stimulating
the liver, opening the bowels and cleans
ing the system of imparities. Safe pilla.
Never gripe. “I have taken DeWitt’s
Little Early Risers for torpid liver every
spring for years,’’ writes R. M. Everly
Moundsville, W. Va. “They do me more
good than anything I have ever tried.’

Horrible Tragedy Enacted In Little ~
Village of Brandywine, Miss. ;
Hazlehurst, Miss., Jdne 17—Details,
have been received here of one of the
most horrible tragedies that ever oc
curred in this section of Mississippi.
Louis Westrope, a well-to-do and
well known farmer living near the-lit
tle village of Brandywine,- 30" miles
southwest of Hazlehurst, in the edge
of Claiborne county, was attending ser.
vices at a neighboring church with
his grown daughter.
While there, in the middle of the ser
vice, a messenger hastened into tke
church and told him that all of his
little children, six in number, had been
murdered, his home in smoke and
ashes, and his wife gone, or also mur
dered, and her body probably consum
ed by the fire which had destroyed hia
home. '
Arming themselves with shotguna
and repeating rifles and procuring
dogs, the male congregation hurried
to the scene of the awful catastro
phe.
Upon arrival five dead children were
found scattered around the premises
with bullet holes in the head of each
child. Among the ashes of the ruined
home were found the charred bones
of the infant.
Diligent search failed to locate the
body of the mother. Outside of ths
yard was found a bloody apron and
tracks leading toward a swamp.
The evidence soon -qonvinceil ths
spectators that Mrs. Westrope had
committed the terrible deed. Search
was Immediately instituted fqf her and
she was finally located In a country
graveyard, where she had spent ths
night
When she saw the searching party
she placed the same rifle with which
she had the day before wrought ths
destruction of her own children to hei
heart and pulled the trigger. The bul,
let passed one Inch below the heart,
seriously, but not necessarily fatally,
wounding her.
The woman conversed intelligently
and said she did not know how shs
came to be in the graveyard or what
she had done.
Those who know’ her and her fam
ily believe that she committed ths
crime while mentally deranged.
HANNA AND THE PRESIDENCY.
Boring of Wives.
Wives are still obtained by purchase
In parts of Russian Europe. In the
district of Kamyscbln, on the Volga,
for example, this is practically the only
way In which marriages are brought
about. The price of a pretty girl from
a well to do family ranges from £10
to £20, and in special cases a much
higher sum is obtained, In the villages
the lowest price is about £5. It is cus
tomary for the fathers of the Intending
bride and bridegroom to baggie for a
long time over the price to be paid for
the lady. A young farmer whose fa
ther cannot afford to pay for a wife for
him need not think of getting married.

gestion from Colonel Cutter Smith, ol
this city, that he become a candidate
for president in 1904, has written Colo
nel Smith as follows: ,

am grateful for suoh confidence, but
must insist that I am not to be consid

Charged With Smuggling.
Jacksonville, Fla., June 17.—Th«
case of the United States versus Joso
Vasquez, captain of the Spanish
schooner Rita Alvarez, charged with
smuggling aguardiente into the porl
of Anclote, Fla., was called and all
witnesses for the United States exam
ined. From the evidence It was shown
that the schooner, which was out near
ly a month from Havana, came to an
chor off Anclote some time during th.i
night of April 18, and that a smah
boat, manned by four sailors, cama
ashore, bringing several demijohns ol
aguardiente. The sailors went to n
store and bought some provisions and
oil. Witnesses stated that one of ths
demijohns of liquor was sold. Before
the men got back in the boat they were
arrested by a special revenne officer,
and the boat, liquor and provision*
confiscated.
