THURSDAY. JULY 301908 ISH SCHOOL MOTEMEKT. The .citizens are to be congrat ulated for their untiring efforts ia securing a high school for Col umbus. A better movemenc has never been launched that " this n and that they have succeed ed show plainly the old adage, "Wherje there is a will there is a way." Dasmte the obstacle that con- fronted themr when the state could not heln. thev worked the 1 t - vt w m harder and their success is but the reward for their zeal- It behooves the citizens of the county to patronize this school for several reasons: It is your school, in your own county seat and to send children away from the county would but reflect dis credit upon a home institution. lhiais one trouble, the News thinks, that is now tho matter . tli ?T n ttt . help ocher counties out and nev er think of our own condition. If we ever give our condition a thought it is only with a sigh and a feeling that it ean never be better. Let us try a new method. Everybody in the county put their shoulder to the wheel in helping the High School and and make it a success. Talk it up boost it send your children to it this and this alone Will make its suscess assured. BRUTAL TREATMENT OF G6KYICTS. " It seems, that the big daily newspapers arenever to be short on sensational matter. It has not been long ago since the world was shocked from centre to cir cumference by the brutal murders of Mrs. Gunness. This has giv en way to things later, and still 4he papers are teening with crime- Among these late crimes there is none that has proven so inhuman and heartless as the convict persecution which has been carried on in Georgia for the past year and has now just ome to light. We are not lovers of negroes in the common acceptance of the word,- bit .Wj do not believe in killing tfrem because they are negroes. The state authorities of Georgia are making a thor ough investigation into this maU ter and will no doubt deal ouu justice to the transgressors as they righiiuiiy otsive. nil' ' . The trustees of A. and M. Q lege are to pe congrat ilsV m electing Dr. D. H. Hill as prtsi dent of the college to succeed Pr. Winsion. Senator T. T. Lailerger one ot the trustees, was stanch supporter of Dr. fflill- COLUMBUS WILL OPEN SEP. I Teachers Have Been Chosen And Work will Begin In Earnest A Number oi Studants Hays Already Been Booked For ThiYear. "A Hiffh School for Columbus" has been the slogani of the Col umbus citizens for the past month and now since this great move ment is to materialize, the 'citi zens of the county will welcome the good news with one voice. For awhile the star of hope that had just beguR it ascendan cy seemed destined to make a more rapid deaendancy. Had it not bssn for th. earnest co-operation of theX&ii.mbus people the project weuitve been dispaip ed of ere ih as the State's appropriation was exhausted and aid could not be looked for from the state. It was at this crucial moment that the patriotic citizen ship come to the front and vol unteered subscription, then it was that the ghost of failure was knocked into a cock-hat. The High School will open her door's ushering in the initial day on August 31 and will be in ses sion for eij;ht months, with the ; ! exception of one week which will be given for the Christmas Holi days, v -- -Prof. T. H. Posey who will be principal and at the helm o the school, has begun a canvass for students and will make a thorough canvass of this county as sooias ha moves his family hwe, which will be the first part of August. A number of students from South Carolina have airway informed Prof- Posey of their intention to come and now are booked. To assist in this High school, the committee has acted most wisely in selecting Misses Eliza Newman and Minnie Arledg, oi" Columbus, both of whom are em nently qualified and fitted for tne high school yvom. Miss Miniue I Arledge haa been taking special work for the past two years at the State Normal, of Greensboro, and has made an enviable record in her studies. Miss Arledge will have charge of the primyry department. Miss Fiiza Newman, who is one of the most competent teachers in the county, wui have charge of tha intermediate de partment Miss Newrnars is a teacher of wide experience and a better one.couid not be had. With these competent young ladies as assistants Prof. Posiy could not have secured better co- workers. The school bids fair o eclipse any school that has ever been in Columbus and those thinking of sending their child-1 ren to a boarding school could ! not find a beuer one in Western1 Caronna.' 1 MUm WAUJBOP, iMuiar CooQle M la Soiillj - W - - Sa?iE Mr..
