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.” THE -DEVIL’S AUCTION” MAN TALKS OF THIS ATTRACTION PRESIDENT ROO President Roosevel'. has announced that he would mako a tour of the South, making some speeobes in North Caroli na.

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. Weekly Arrivals.
