KVUT MEMORIAL WILL HE ( OI NTRY LIFE SCHOOL general Education Board Plans Fit* ting Tribute?Gives Nearly One Million. New York, May 24.?Nearly $1,000,000 was contributed to the cause of education by the general education board founded by John D. Rockefeller, at its meeting here today. Of this sum $700,000 was appropriated for dis* +rihntmr> amnn^ five colleges, the largest contribution of $250,000 going to the George Peabody College for Teachers of Nashville, Tenn., for the establishment of Seaman A. Knapp School of Country Life. It is explained that the gifts to the colleges are conditional upon an equal sum being raised by the respective institutions. The sum of $210,100 was set aside for demonstration work in agriculture in the Southern States, for professors of secondary education in State universities of the South, and to aid the work of negro education in the South. The demonstration work appropriation is $133,000. The miscellaneous appropriations were: For Secondary Education. For professors of secondary education in the several State universities of the Southern State, $33,100. For supervision of negro rural schools in Kentucky, North Carolina and Virginia, $9,000. To three negro schools?Hampton institute, Hampton, Va.; Tuskegee institute, Tuskegee, Ala., and the Spelman seminary of Atlanta, Ga.?the sum of $35,000. What may be regarded as the board's most important appropriation is for the establishment of the Seaman A. Knapp School of Country Life. The late Dr. Seaman A. Knapp had been in charge for the past ten years of the farmers' co-operative demonstration "work in the South. In connection with this gift, a statement was issued in part as follows: "The general education board recognizes that the George Peabody college for teachers at Nashville, Tenn., promises to render conspicuous and permanent service in the promotion * it. 1- iV ~ of popular eaucanon uuuusu uic Southern. States. Help From Vanderbilt. "It further recognizes that the affiliation of this instituton wth Vanderbilt university will greatly enhance the value of both institutions. The board has therefore watched with sympathetic interest the progress of the movement. "The*general education board has been interested in the promotion of practical farming in the Southern States and in the development of an efficient system of rural schools. The George Peabodv college for teachers propose to train leaders for rural schools; not for the traditional rural school, but for the new school which shall meet the needs of an agricultural population. "After consultation with the president and.trustees of the college the general education board now makes a contribution of $250,000 toward the * endowment of the George Peabody College for Teachers and for the speoifin niirmsp of finrmnrtiripr tho <3pa man A. Knapp School of Country Life. For ten years the late Dr. Knapp was the recognized leader of the new agricultural life of the South. It is fitting that his name be associated with the George Peabody College for Teachers, his great work perpetuated through1 this institution and his name beside that of George Peabody. OTTS IN A FREXZY. Uproar Follows Solicitor's Annonncement of His Position and Reference to Got. Blease. Spartanburg Herald, 25th. Solicitor J. C. Otts flung down the gauntlet to his two opponents for the office of public prosecutor when all three met upon the stump for the first time in the campaign at South Church street and Bomar avenue last night, and practically challenged them to come out in the open and tell where they stood as between Governor Blease and Judge Jones. Amid mingled applause and jeers he announced that he intended to vote for Judge Jones himself, and proceeded to score Governor Blease, who, he said, had set the courts at naught by his undue use of the pardoning power. Mr. Otts' opponents, Albert E. Hill and Ira C. Blackwood, refused to be "smoked out." Neither made any reference to the issue of Bleaseism. Disclaiming any intention of being a "coat-tail swinger" and declaring that he was making the race on his own merits and expected the votes of both Blease men and Jones men, Mr. Otts at the 6ame time said that he un [ dersiood that the pcopla would like j \> know how the candidates for solicitor stood in regard to Blease, and he ; did not lack the manhood to tell them: . he was for Jones. Causes an Uproar. The meeting had been as tame as a j church service up to this time, but Mr., Otts' declaration precipitated an up- j I roar. While a good proportion of the : crowd clapped their hands in approv- j al others yelled for Blease, and one ; man shouted: "That's enough. We ; don't want to hear any more from you. j ! Come down." The same man continued to inter-1: l rupt at intervals thereafter until Mr. jOtts took notice of him and withered | him by saying: "I don't want the votes Iof your kind." The man was quiet, ! durine the rest of the meeting. Solicitor Otts had confided to ! friends before the meeting that he was j tired of the "pig-in-the-poke" cam| paign which has been conducted up to j ithis time and intended to force the; I issue and get down to brass tacks j I himself. The candidates have been: j making nice speeches, telling the aud- ! ;iences about being born on the farm ! and working hard as boys, and indulging in glittering generalities, but sei dulously avoiding telling the voters , what the latter want to know?thatj ! is, the atitude of the candidates to-1 I wards presnt condtions in the State. I There were about 200 persons at the ; meeting, wmcn was held in front of j Dominey's store. Many of them were 1 ; workers in the Crescent and Ark-' wright mills. j ] "C-NLESS SEXT TO ASYLUM, CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT." j I I Stinging Arraignment of Theodore Roosevelt by Henry Watterson. i ? !; Louisville, Ky., May 23.?In a sting- ;, j i I ing editorial in the Courier-Journal I' today Colonel Henry Watterson as- j j serts life tenure of office is Colonel! ~ i Ai? i. 1.1. -ii; J- - !

Of the latter 1 1-2 are expressed for Underwood, 2 1-2 lean to Underwood, 1 is for Clark and 1 for Harmon. The unit rule will not be applied until the delegates get to Baltimore and then not until after several ballots shall have been taken and twothirds of the 24 votes are cast for a unit rule. The convention was attended by nearly 1.200 delegates and alternates, and on the whole was harmonious. The names of Wilson, Clark, Underwood and Harmon were cheered at every mention. The name of William Jennings Bryan was cheered, but a Eew hisses also were Heard. One of the features of the convention was the election as a delegate to Baltimore in the Tenith district convention of Thomas S. Ryan, sod of the \'ew York financier. VIRGINIA OPPOSED TO WILSON Result of Democratic ConYention Explained?Alleged Fertilizer Trust. Washington, May 25.?Because of imperfect comprehension of the "modus operandi," some very inaccurate reports of the result of the Virginia Democratic convention, at Norfolk last Friday, have been circulated. Those who understand the situation know very well that the Wilson forces were heavily defated and that the compromise, whereby the few Wilson delegates will be allowed to vote their preference on the first ballot, after which the unit rule will apply, amounts to very little at first and nothing in the long run. The Virginia delegation is controlled by the State Democratic machine, which is opposed to Wilson and less opposed to Bryan. There is more Underwood than Clark sentiment the delegation, but if it had to choose between Clark and Bryan, or Clark and Wilson, it would unhesitatinelv take Clark. KENTUCKY FOR CLARK. Speakers Forces to Control State ConYention. Louisville, Ky., May 25.?Champ Clark swept Kentucky in the Demo cratic conventions held in 115 of the 120 counties in the State today. lieturns from about half the counties sdive him more than the 613 iusTucted votes necessary to control til* Srate convention here May 29. One county instructed for Harmon, giving him eight votes, and one and part of another for Wilson, giving him 16 votes. This, the 5th district, comprising Jefferson county, which held precinct conventions today was carried for 2 lark. Victory today will give Clark the entire delegation of 26 votes from Kentucky to the National Democratic convention. THE LABEL CASE AGAIX. T. B. Towill, L. W. Boykin and W. 0. Tatum Are Defendants.
