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. The telegram stated that
wide publicity was being given by

LEXINGTON LAD
Carl Bouye Dragged by 'Mule; Flesh
Torn From Body.
i
Lexington, May 31.?Carl Bouye,
sixteen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Pickens W. 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.

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.

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. Burton,
the beloved teacher of the
third grade. For many years she
has held this responsible position to
the entire satisfaction of both parents
and pupils.
The service which she has rendered
will always live in the minds and
hearts of the little children who
came within the sphere of .her in
j fluence and we, as mothers, will ever
j hold her in tenderest memory. Her
good works will surely follow her.
Therefore, be it resolved:
1. That we tender her our heartfelt
love and sincere appreciation
of her faithful and efficient work.

best wishes for continued success
and happiness.

Prohibition.

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. ' \
There were two medals given, one
in the Boundary street school and
one in the Speers street school, and
one very remarkable thing about
both ia that tfco- of the 'contestants
in each school tied for the; medal.

NEW NAZIMOVA PLAY
PROVES RARE TREAT.
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.
Her costumes are gorgeous, striking
and as in some other plays generously
revealing. The plot is a
strong and interesting one which all
will appreciate.?Atlanta Constitution,

Crowning of the Queen?Happiest
Day of Ail Year?School Closes
Very Successful Session.
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
