A Visit to jackson College.

Within the past twelve months, a mag
ni6cent brick building has been erected
on the "Petrie place. about half way be-
tween the Institution for the Blind and
the Lunatic Asylum. This is the Jackson
College. nomal and theological school,
and one OF the fifteen established and sup
ported by the American Baptist Home
Mission Society," Society that has in its
work seven hundred missionaries, and that
has half million dollars invested in edu-
eational enterprises similar to the one near
this city. The Society first begun work in
this State at Natchez, in 1877, but two
years ago disposed of its interest there,
and located at Jackson. The property
where the College is located includes fifty
acres, and was purchased for five thousand
dollars, the residence thereon being worth
more than half that sum. The College
building is not only beautiful for situa-
tion," and imposing in appearance. but
cost the handsome sum of twenty -four
thousand dollars. 1t is three stories high,
besides fine basement dining room. 1t
is lis by 45 feet.
We visited the College yesterday morn
ing, and were surprised to find so many
students in attendance-m mostly young men
and women advanced in scholarship and
preparing for the ministry or for teaching.
There are sixty boarders in the College,
and about thirty day pupils, and the indi
cations are that the total attendance will
reach one hundred and fifty before Christ
mas. The total expense for board, tuition,
etc, is only nine dollars per month, and
one dollar per month for day pupils. Some
of the students are employed in the kitch-
en- and in other handiwork, alternately,
for which an allowance is made toward
their expenses. Sewing and other indus
tries may be introduced after the College
gets fully under way.
As we entered the main audience room,
We found the President, Rev. DIR. Aver,
engaged with the Bible Glass. In few
and we he'd the pleasure of listening to
some beautiful hymns after which We

For THE CLARIoS.l
Prohibition Falsely Accused.

The Dispatch, published at Columbus,
and GA Subscriber" who furnished the
extract from the columns of that paper
to THE CLARION of September 23d, are
very anxious to make out a case against
Prohibition, by saddling upon it all the
blame of the shrinkage of values in that
city. Some persons in our own commu-
nifty regarded the statements made as
damaging to our cause, so | enclosed the
article referred to in a letter to a citizen
of Columbus, and have received the
reply which appears below. People who
were alarmed by the exhibit made by
the Dispatch seem to be wholly unmind-
full of two things-frst: That at the
time the assessment of property was
made, Prohibition had not even been
voted upon; and second, that other
causes might have brought about the
change il the value of property. Even
if it were true that Prohibition was so
terribly destructive that the very pros
pect of it should cause so frightful a
tumble as $25, 900 in one year, it is very
unreasonable to jump to the conclusion
that it alone was to blame. There are
other towns which are not near so pros
porous as formerly-Edwards Depot, for
instance, and Canton. Whisky flourishes
in both of them. They have been in.
jured by the construction of railroads
which cut off trade that once came tc
them. So Columbus has doubtless lost
much trade by the construction of the
railroad to Tuscaloosa. But according
to the certified statement below, the
taxable property in Columbus is S12,
900 more than it was in 1884. Now as
the Dispatch makes Prohibition respon.
sible for the present state of values, and
as it turns out that Columbus is really
$4,000 better off now than it was last
year, does not consistency require that
paper to come out in praise of Prohibi
ton because it has been of such benefit
to his town? If he should want addi-
tional evidence of the good effect of
Prohibition, he is respectfully referred
to Mayfeld, Kentucky, and to Winona
and Crystal Springs in Mississippi,
where, according to the testimony of the
best citizens in each place, business has
never been so prosperous as it has since
the abolition of whisky.
But read the appended document,
signed by men known and honored
throughout Mississippi and officially GER
