Heyward, who was chosen at that time as the nominee of the optafc been lOtf he to Ml that the Governor-elect some considera tion and lie is endeavoring to devise means by which the opportunities of placing a fair education within the reach of every hamlet may be facili tated and affected. Reared in the country and familiar as he is with plantation life, Capt. Heyward is thoroughly conversant with the need of improved educational facilities, and while an advocate of higher education, he realizes that there are able exponents in and out of the Senate and Legislature who will look after the interest of colleges and universities, so he will devote himself for the present to fostering and aiding the schools in the rural districts. THE DISPENSARY LAW. j The enforcement of the dispensary law has been the subject of much con- skk ration by the Governor-elect, and he is hopeful that under his adminfo- a sad Case.

It is safe to say that the per sonnel of Gov. Heyward's staff will be exceptionally tine, and lie representa tive of the best and brightest of the young manhood of the State. He has been deluged with applica tions fur almost every appointive of fice in the State, but beyond selecting his private secretary in the person of Mr. J. E. Norment, which he is grati fied to know was so satisfactorily re ceived, he has alistained from giving such applications any very serious con sideration.

At this place the negro was held up and robbed, all of his money being taken away from him. Shortly after he heard of the find ing of the true bill against him, young Haygood went to Atlanta, thence to Birmingham, and then to Anniston, going back to Atlanta and coining from Atlanta to Lawrenceville. As soon as he arrived in Lawrence ville Monday night he v^ent to his father's home and bade a-f last goodby, averring his innocence and stating he was going to kill himself.

The advertising ingenuity of the theatrical star is a perpetual cause for admiring wonder. The latest is the exploit of the prima donna of the “.Sultan of Sulu” company, who, it Is said, while asleep at Keokuk, la., Friday afternoon, swallowed a Swiss watch about the size of a silver dime and did not know it. After the Keo kuk performance a search was made for the missing timepiece, but it could not be found. The next day the lady felt a pain, which the physicans were unable to diagnose without the assist ance of an X-ray apparatus. The watch has foen recovered but it is hardly protahle this method of adver tising w*il become popular among the ‘ footlight favorites. 11 1 ' ,l A Mixture. One of the Chicago district.
