the Governor-elect some considera

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-

be seen just how likely it is for a poor

so that all sections are recognized and

exceptionally tine, and lie representa

young manhood of the State.
He has been deluged with applica

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. Very few of these pil

negro was seen in a store a few nights
ago by young Olln Hiignod and another

depot. 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.
He met several of his former friends
and associates and told them of his in
tention to kill himself, lie left late
and was never seen again alive.

At Uie conclusion of Mr. Cleveland's
address Morris K. .Icsup, 'president of
the chamber, announced that Presi
dent Roosevelt, although reserving his
address for the fonquet this evening,
had consented to say a few words. As
President Roosevelt stepped forward
to address the chamber the whole as
semblage rose and cheered. He spoke
as follows:
“Mr. Presidentuand Gentlemen: As
I am to speak to you this evening, I
shall now simply say a work of greet
ing to you and to your guests. I have
foen asked heffe as the chief executive
of the nation, and so I can speak not
merely on your behalf but on behalf of
our people as a whole in greeting and
thanking for their presence here these
representatives of foreign countries
who have done usthelionor and pleas-
! ure of being present today. (Ap-

Nwallowed a Watch.
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.
