Skottowe Wannamaker, president of the American Cotton association, declared in a statement issued this afternoon that the report was being circulated by the bears in New York Uliib *ilt: lariucta in vanvuo ockinvuo of the South willl plant their wheat and oats lands in cotton. Mr. Wannaftjaker today received a telegram from New York parties asking that he advise them frankly as to what position he felt the cotton farmer would take concerning the planting of wheat and oats lands in cotton.

Bouye, residing one and one-half miles west of Lexington, mpt a hrtrrihlp rieath at noon todav when he attempted to ride a young mule to the house' from the field, where he had been plowing;, While no one witnessed the accident, it is supposed that the mule threw the lad. The trace chains were loose and. the unfortunate child was entangled and dragged for a quarter of a mile, while the frightened animal was running at a fast gait. The mule did not stop until it reached a rye patch near the house. It was neces sary to remove the chains from around the boy's legs and body, so tightly had they become woven about him. The sight which greeted Mrs. Bouye was a ghastly one, she being the first to reach his side. The boy lived but a few moments after he had been released and examination revealed the fact that all of the flesh had been torn from both legs and from one arm and the skin almost completely removed from his body. Carl Bouye was a bright and industrious child and, besides his grief stricken parents, he is survived by one sister and two younger brothers. The sympathy of this entire community goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Bouye over the tragedy which has just befallen them. The burial will be on Sunday afternoon, arrange ments for which have not yet been completed. THE HERALD AND NEWS ONTE YEAR FOR ONLY *3.60. MISS FRANCES WHEELER WINNER OF TWO PRIZES Wins Two Prizes for Essays in Contest With Two Hundred Competitors. Miss Frances Wheeler, the daughter of our town people, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Wheeler, and the graduating class this year at Winthrop college, has recently won two prizes at the school. This is a very distinctive honor because it should be remembered that - the senior class at Winthrop numbers more than 200 young ladies and to win two prizes over so many competitors is a distinction and is evidence of marked ability in the art of writing, and then also in knowing the subject about which you write. Miss Wheeler won the first prize of $25 for the best essay or paper on "Nuts and Their Nutritive Value" and the second of $12.50 for the best! essay on "Raisins and Their Nutritive Value." This was a prize in the food chemistry contest and we understand 'that all the girls have taken a great interest in this department and have done well. The Herald and News will print these papers in a subseuent issue of the pap?ft. And , we congratulate Miss Wheelsr on the success she has made in this department and trust that if she desires to engage in teaching she rtray find employment x hare among i:s because that is one j department in which sue seems to have specialised that thcvre is need fcr teachers. v ?

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY BOUNDARY* STREET SCHOOL The Parent-Teachers association of Boundary Street school desires to express the deep regret caused by the resignation of Miss Mary L.

Savannah, June 1.?In his address in Savannah today William .Tannines Brvan declared he exDect- I ed not only to see a saloonless nation, but a saloonless world. "I am sorry the president made the recommendation to congress regarding the lifting of war time prohibition," said Mr. Bryan. "I don't believe he would have made it had he been in this country. I don't want to be understood as criticising him for being in Paris. I don't think we would have had the league of nations had he not gone. Don't worry about his recommendation. A Republican congress won't follow him when Vio <rru?* riorht: rhiirfi Ipsr- wViPn ' he goes wrong." * THE CITY SCHOOLS HAVE CLOSED THE SESSION The city schools having put in 11 grades had no graduates this year in that grade and therefore there were no graduating exercises, beyond the music recital by Miss Bur ton's music class on Friday evening. It was held in the auditorium of the high school and was greatly enjoyed by lovers of music and was very | creditable to teacher and pupils alike.

The presentation of each new photo-play by the incomparable Alia Nazimova is an event eagerly anticipated by the movie picture fans of Atlanta, and, judging from the comments of those who were fortunate enough yesterday to see "The Red Lantern," capacity audiences may be expected when this attraction is shown to the public here. Sunday afternoon the Metro Moving Picture corporation acted as host at a private screening to hundreds of the most prominent people in Atlanta. Exhibitors, well-known picture fans, and men and women of every profession were present at the Grand theatre for the special performance. "The Red Lantern" shows the noted actress at her best and for this production expense has been absolutely disregarded. From the standpoint of staging and of lavish scenery and costuming every other picture in which the great Russian has been seen this year is surpassed. - - J-t V. i In it sfte is given anouier ?ucu j part as was offered her in "Revelations," "Eye for Eye," and "Out of the Fog"?a role which gives her unlimited opportunity to show the splendid training she has received in drama and her mastery of the technique of stage and screen.

Prosperiy, June 21.?For the last few weeks there has been a subtle something in the air?something indefinable?yet evidenced by the 'smiling morning faces' of the children as they passed to and from school. On inaairv we found that vacation, alone was not the cause of so much happiness, but the May Day fete which was to begin the commencement exercises, j . \ This pageant which delighted people from miles around was given on the campus Friday evening at 6:30. On looking around we thought we were recalling those lines we learned in childhood, yet never expected to see' enactedd. 0 "You must wake and call me early, call me early, mother dear Tomorrow 'ill be the happiest tiift^ of all the glad New Year ^ Tomorrow 'ill be of all the year the : r luauuest, uicuicot uoj For I'm to be queen o' the May, mother, I'm to be queen o' j the May." * ' I The riot of color, the sea of eager smiling faces, and the fantastic costumes lent a never-t<Abe-forgotten charm to the occasion, alike for actor and spectator.

Little Bo Peep, quaint and demure; sleepy Boy Blue, laughing King Cole, industrious Jack and Jill, hungry Jack Horner and a dozen others proudly followed their leader to the place assigned them. As no children's hour is complete without 'the presence of loved ones from the Land of Once-Upon-a-Time ' the arrival of the Princess Cinderella was the signal for great rejoic-. j ing. Her train of attendants was second to the queen's only. The shepherdesses who looked like Wattean pictures come to life, made a charming foil for Cinderella's train. They formed a rainbow of colorful beauty and as if to detain them for ever, &oys aressea in wnue, cunning garlands, encircled them . with a chain of green.
