The revival meeting at Sweet water Methodist church closed Saturday night. Rev. W. C. Kahn, who did the preaching, left Sat tin day afternoon for his own charge near Alma. There were three ad ditions to the church. Some days ago little Henry Lankford, who was visiting rela fives in Lyons, bad a fall and pain fully and seriously hurt himself. His aunl, Mrs. Gussie Floyd, brought him home as soon as he was able to take the trip. It is said Mr. .T. O. Stanaland has leased the home of Mrs. Lima Corbett, and will occupy it with his family. They come to Pear son so that the children can con veniently attend school. The Trib une congratulates them in advance. Pastor Luke began Saturday a revival meeting at Wesley Chapel Methodist church about seven miles north of Pearson. He is as sisted in this meeting by tbe Wav cross District* Presiding Elder, Flanders, who is doing the preach ing. It is definitely understood that the public schools of Pearson will ppen on the fourth Monday, 28tb day, of September, three weeks from next Monday. The time is short and whatever repairs or prepara tions are to be made should be looked after at once. The Tribune learns that Prof. Cornelius, who is to be the princi pal of Pearson school the next scholastic year, are expected to arrive with his family this week end or the early part of next week. They will ocetipy the Carl Murray bungalow' on Bullard street. Taking the Examination. The Tribune editor called Friday afternoon at the school building and looked iu upon the folks who w-re taking the examination for teacher’s license. There were sixty six whites and five colored — seventy one in all. The editor was somewhat disap pointed in the personnel, especial ly among the whites, of the people who were asking to be licensed to teach school. If they pass the ex animation, they should not be given license because of youth and inexperience. There were boys and girls pres ent taking the examination who ranged from sixteen to eighteen years, and should continue? in school rather than attempt to teach school. Their characters are yet in the formative period and needs several years of expansion before they essay to guide the destiny of childreu. It is hoped that out of this great number the schools of the county can be supplied with teach ers of ample age, experience and ability to do high grade work in the schools to which they areas signed. The children of Atkinson county are entitled to the very best tutelage, and the Tribune be lieves the Board of Education will strive to got the very best instruct ors possible. « Hon. H. 11. Fielding, Chairman of the Board of Education was present during the examination and formulated plans for future conduct. A Regretful Accident. Sheriff Leggett and Deputy Browning was coming to Pearson from the direction of Kirkland. Mr. Browning was driving the ear, and when they came to where the gang of State Road Department were at work and undertook to pass he blowed a warning and slowed up. One of the negro men working on one of the road ma chines, indifferent to the approach ing ear jumped off of the Road ma chine in front of the car Mr. Browning was driving with the result that, he was knocked down and one leg broken. The injured man was iinmedi ately brought to the city by Mr. Browning and given surgical at tention. The Sheriff says no blame can be attributed to Mr. Browning and, under Hie circum stances, the accident could not have been avoided. The charge that Mr. Browning acted the part of a ruffian toward the injured man is wholly gratui tous and has no foundation in fact. No one regrets the occurrence more than Mr. Browning and he did all in his power to alleviate the suffering matt, promptly and cheerfully. Minchew’s Record. A news item from Moultrie pur ports to give the history of Mr. Charlie Minshew as a base ball biirlor. Mr. Minsbew’s qualities as a pitcher were introduced to the public several years ago as a member of the staff of the Homer viileclub. He next appeared with the Pearson aggregation. Last year he was with Milltown. The first of this season he was with Meigs, but will finish with Moul trie. His parents live three miles north of Pearson, and it is the Tribune’s understanding that he calls his parents’ home his home, and not Wayeross. It is apparent from the news item in question that Charlie is making good on the mound. He is credited with performing eleven times while with Meigs and won nine of them. He has pitched ten gafiies for Moultrie and won nine of them. Thus it will be seen be has won this season 18 out of 21 starts, and it is considered fine for bis first year in a semi-professional league. llis success is due to dazzling speed, superb control, unshakable determination and self-confidence. Charlie is not spectacular on the mound; he plays every game as a separate proposition, and puts in his best work in the pinches. His friends confidently expect him to go up higher next season.
