GOV. SMITH ,.N THE STUMP.

In Talbotton, Ca, March 18th,
Ex-Governor Smith spoke at the OPP
era House. 1t may be considered
the opening of the State campaign.
lie said he was not the partisan of
any candidate, and wanted no per-
sonal preferment. His object was to
induce the people to awake to their
interest and sustain the Railroad
Commission. In it they were great
ly concerned. They should see to it
in the election of delegates to the
Gubernatorial Convention that they
did not send men who would nomi-
nate railroad director, employee or
attorney for Governor. Mcdaniel
was a director of the Georgia rail
road when elected, was the author OF
the Railroad Commission bill, and
had gone back on his record. He
said elect Senators and Representa-
tives who are in favor of the Com
mission. The railroads are organ
lied and will use all their means to
control the Legislature. augusta
Chronicle.
The taking Of the stump by Gov
ernor Smith against the election OF
any one in favor of abolishing the
Railroad Commission, antagonizes the
candidacy of Mr.. Bacon for Cover
nor, as we learn that gentleman is
opposed to the Railroad Commission,
and it is thought that he would be
pretty apt to appoint on the Railroad
Commission, if vacancy occurred, a
man of his way of thinking, and
by that means modify the law to a
very weak solution. We would dis
like to see the Railroad ques-
ton made an issue in the campaign,
on account of the bitterness of feel
ing it would engender, and we trust
the sober sense of the masses will ex-
clude it. However, the people should
be on their guard and watch with a
jealous eye every movement of poll
ticians, who have their personal ag-
grandizement more at heart than the
rights and best interests of the peo-
pie. So far We have not committed
ourselves to any candidate for Cover
nor and shall not be in any haste to
do so.

FEMALE COLLEGE BUILDING.

Some of our citizens are anxious to in
augurate measures whereby Female Col
lege building can be erected They are not
content to have just simply female acade-
my, and think Marietta can well afford and
ought to have such an educational institu-
ton. 1t would take $4,000 to construct it
| and equip it as it ought to be, and two of
| our fellow townsmen have signifed willing
ness to contribute $500 each, if twenty
three other men will do the same, which
will make 81, 800, and the balance of the
amount can be raised from individuals in
lesser amounts. We would be glad to see
this generous public spirit chrystalized into
something tangible and active on the part
OF all of our citizens. 1t is also suggested
that If this college could be put on foot that
with two such popular educators at the
the head of it, as Prot V. L Manget, and
Prof W. W. LeGare, of the Tuscaloosa.
(Ala.) Female College, that the institution
would take a front place and command a
patronage, not only local but from all the
Southern States We learn that Prof Lee
Care services can be secured, as he contem-
plates a change and his success and popu-
larity as an educator is unsurpassed and
would bring great strength to the institution.
As for Prof Manget, his services would be
indispensable, as the high esteem in which
he is held and and his acknowledged com
potency and ability fit him for the work as
no Other man could supply. We trust some
thing may be done in this matter. Without
effort, there can be no results
