ATHENS, GA., SUNDAY MORNIN
R. JOE B. LOWE.
NEAR TO DEATH
prominent Athens flerchant Took an Overdose
Morphine, Through Mistake, Yesterday Af
ternoon and When Found, Last Night,
was in a Precarious Condition.
Mr. Joseph B Lowe, a member of the |
firm of Davison & Lowe, one of the V -
largest dry goods houses in this section
of the state, took an overdose of mor
phine yesterday afternoon, and »aa
(found in what the physicians think a
[dying condition, last nig.it about the
I supper hour.
Mr. I,owe has tieen sick for several
days, and yesterday morning told a
friend that he had slept bat little in sev
eral nights. Yesterday afternoon about
3 o'clock he sent a messenger to a drag
store for some morphine, intending to
send for three one-quarter grain tablets
of morphine, hot Instead i* rote a note
asking for 3> 4 graius of morphine. The
order was tilled and the boy returned
with the medicine.
It happened that the boy who went
for the morphine, showed the order to
Mr. Aroher, the clerk at the Imperial
Hotel, where Mr. Lowe has been living
for some time, and late in the afternoon
when Mr. Lowe's snpper was sent to
him, the servant who earned it, returned
to the offioe, and told Mr. Archer that
he conld not waken Mr. I-owe. Mr.
Archer Bent a message to DaviBon &
Lowe's store, telling what had hap
pened. Dr. Oarlton was called, and on
entering the room occupied by Mr.
Lowe and examining the patient, an*
nonneed that bin condition was preca
rious, and that other physicians ahonld
be summoned at once. Drs. Qaillian
and Gerdinc were called in, and worked
heroically to save the life of the man.
It is evident that Mr. Lowe intended
of
MR J. B. LOWE.
to tako three one quarter grain tablets,
bat made a mistake in writing the or
der, and on receiving the medicine took
the oontents of the package, which was
three and a quarter grains, as has been
Btated.
The matter was the cause of general
regret last night among those of his
friends who heard of the accident, and
all hope that Mr I-ows may pull through
all right, although there is little chance
for him.
Later.
At 12 o’clock Mr. Lowe was still liv
ing and the attending physicians stated
that there had practically been
change in an hoar.
THE ATHENS SUMMER SCHOOL
ATTRACTS ATTENTION ABROAD.
The local fnnd for the summer school
is now upward of (2,000 and The Ban
ner will print a complete list of the oon
tribators in a few days.
Tho Oglethorpe Eobo says of the sum
mer school:
“The citir-ens of Athens will shortly
complete a subscription of $3,000 which
is to be supplemented with an individ
ual subscription of a like snm for the es
tablishment of a summer school for
teaohers in that city.
“This is a movement that should meet
with encouragement from all over the
state. It has been a rather embarrass
lng state of affairs that every summer
the teaohers of Georgia have had to hie
themselves away to some |other state in
search of that instruction and training
they needed or desired to make them
more proficient in their work. This too
in the face of the fact that in all other
ways Georgia stands at the head of the
list as to educational advantages.
“A summer school in Athens or in any
other city of the state wonld seem to be
a necessity, it imposes a hardship npon
our teachers to make it necessary for
them to bear the extra expense of going
to some afar off city in some othor state
in order to attend such a school. Then
too, it is had business polioy to have
them spend the money they earn from
Georgians with boarding-house keepers
shopper, and the like, elsewhere.
“By all means let’s have the summer
school in Athens. It is the educational
oenter of Georgia and therefore the
place of all places for such an inatitn
tion. The surroundings wonld seem to
ns to make its successful conduct more
probable there. Athens is easy of ac
oess from all parts of the state, is health
fnl with a climate as good as can be
found anywhere in Georgia. It is the
place for such a school.”

RtV. JOHN KiTLE
AT LAST SUCCUMBS,
News has been received In the city of
the death of Rev. John Ky tie, which oo-
ourred at Ayersville, Ga, Wednesday
last. ■'
Rev, Mr. Kytle waa 78 yean of age,
and leaves a wife and six children, one
of whom is Mr. W. H. Kytle, of this
city.
He had been a Baptist minister for
forty years and had presided on several
occasions as moderator of the Togalo
ABSooiatiou.
His death will be greatly mourned In
the community in whioh he lived, and
a vaoanoy will be felt to exist, h$rd. In
deed.tofllL
best in the state. It any one la'
to dispute this proposition, let him emr
merate the honors won by Athens oity
school boys and girls at the.Universlty,
the Lnoy Cobb, and other institutions in
the state. The English professor in the
University states that Athens High
School graduates write better English
and show better training in English
than those from any other sohool. The
Latin professor also refers to their pre
paration in the Latin language in the
highest terms. In mathematics, their
record is evnally good.
An Athens High School graduate,
Misi Edith Hodgson, took first honor at
the Lucy Cobb during the past year.
Another has just graduated at the
head of his class at the University, be
sides winning two fifty dollar prizes in
French and German. In the last five
years, an Athens High School boy or
girl has graduated first or second at the
Lucy Cobb or at the University.
Lee Morris, Hugh Huggins, Harry
Dearing, and Oscar Keith all stood at
the head of their respective olasses at
theUaiversity every year.
Misses Kate Ltvejoy, Puttie Hileman,
Isabel Hilsman, Marguerite Vonderau,
and Edith Hodgson occupied similar po'
sitions at the Lucy Cobb.
The oity schools of Athens have the
best teaohers in the state. Snperinten'
dent Bond has held every position in the
educational field from that of teacher in
a country school where he “boarded
’round" from house to house, to a ohair
in the State University. Assistant So
perintendent Harper was for two years
principal of the Boys High School in
Raleigh, N. O., before coming to Athens.
Three years of graduate work at the
University of Georgia and one year at
the University of Chicago have given
him a wide range of experience in sohool
work. Mr. E. B. Mell, Principal of
Baxter, has made a record for himself
in elevating that sohool to its present
degree of popularity. The primary
teaohers in the system attend summer
schools at Knoxville or Ohieago. There
are no drones in the corps of teachers.
All are anxiona to do genuine, honest
work, and are not easily swept off their
feat by fads.
