Great Gobs has Imprisoned in a gi

to retain his power he is obliged to
sacrifice to the. Eye every hundred
years a maiden with a strawberry
mark on her left shoulder. He se

the plot of the play. The scenic set

ONLY A TOW TRUANTS,
Lout Warning Goes Out lo Refractory
I'aiH-nu by Truant Officer.
Only a few especially refractory
Parents are all that remain on the list
In the hands of Truant Officer Faulk,
after his strenuous campaign of the
past few days to get truant children
Into school. Children who dodged
parents' wishes and were out of school
In violation of parental Instructions,
have been rounded up and almost all
of them are now attending as required
by law. But there are a few of these
and a few parents who4 continue to
keep their children out To those, a
last warning will be made and then
look out, according lo the man with
the truant list
Carelessness, due to ignorance of
the school laws, was largely responsi
ble for the long list of truants early
last weck.S When notified through
the news columns of The Observer
that a Jail sentence awaits the par
ent convicted of this violation, many
parents assumed a different aspect tf
conditions and readily consented to al
low their children to attend school.
Many believed the truant laws are
mere whims of the school board.

primaries when Brown defeated Smith
for the nomination, and today's bat

ceeding. Joseph Brown, Georgia's
next governor, while a man of wealth
and Influence, was but little known
candidacy against the popular Hoke
Smith was first announced. In many
quarters his ambition was derided and
Jeered, and It was thought he had no
cnance against Smith. The latter was
elected governor on a radical platform
which 'provided for state-wide prohi
bition, stringent regulation of railroads
and corporations, negro disfranchise
among the people at large when his ment and other popular' measures.
