beg now, briefly, to notice this
plan as 1t affects the several secs
tions of the state. Schools tor
every community with branch col,
leges for every section, Is the idea
in nut shell.
Southwest Georgia Is already
represented by the college at Outh.
bert. Let our section rally to their
college. It'll but fairly under way
and needs the moral support Of
our sympathies. Fostered, as il
now is, and will be in the future,
who can measure its usefulness,
or foretell its ir ffuence on South
west Georgia In moulding the
characters ard giving tone to the
inteHects that ara to control our
destinies? Surely every county OF
our section will come up heartily
to the support of their own, and
claiming each an equal interest in
our branch college strive, every
one, to make it an honor to our
section and a blessing to our peo-
pie.
There are those in this section
Cloth in Randolph and elsewhere)
who do not favor the plan Of
branch colleges supported by the
state. To them beg to say: if you
are compelled to help support a
branch college, anyhow, and one is
already located at Cuthbert, why,
give to it all the sympathy and
support you can, and make IT Just
as successful and just as helpful to
Southwest Georgia as is posrible
for it to be made. Its trustees
pledge themselves to make the
school one for Southwest Georgia
and not for Cuthbert alone; they
say they are proud at it, and that
you shsll be proud Of it; that it is
your college, you people of South
west Georgia, and is tor your good
and the advancement Of all this
section of our beloved STATE.
Now, Mr.. Editor, 1 know you
wont like this scheme because. Gas
believe,) you have not fully un-
derstood its scope and intentions.
Suppose, however, it Is practically
the scheme adopted by the legis>
lature. Then, wont you help us
to make Southwest Georgia's col
lege at Cuthbert helper. in deed
and in truth, to our whole section,
and wont you help us to keep be-
fore the eyes of the world the
Branch College OF Southwest Geor-
gia located at Cuthbert?
Pardon my questions, Mr.. Editor.
| only want to bring out plainly
the fact that we do not intend cur
college shall be or become local
school, and to get your promise to
take us, if the legislature insists
upon forcing some fair one on you,
anyhow.

4 Correspondent and Branch Colleges.

4 Cores pOndsht and Branch Colleges.
Elsewhere in to-day's News may
be found a communication signed
''Southwest Georgia.
Our correspondent vigorously at.
tacks those papers that oppose
branch colleges, and plants himN
eelf aquarly in the fight for Doctor
Felton's higher education" scheme.
Being citizen of town where
In is located one of these so.called
branch colleges, Southwest Geor>
gia" may have some personal or
local interest in seeing maintained
these branch institutions, which
benefit but very few and are, at the
same time, supported by the whole
people.
To partially relieve the pain OF
eur correspondent, we will say that
the News is not in favor of doing
away with any of the branch col.
.ieges unless all of them are abolish>
cd; nor do we favor the division of
the support of the branch institu-
ton at Cuthbert with Thomasville.
II we are to continue to have branch
colleges in Georgia, one in each
congressional district, let the entire
aid from the state be given to one
institution in each districts. and let
'he college in this district, by all
means, remain at Cuthbert.
The public school problem in
Georgia is most important, and It's
solution is apt to occupya large
share of public attention for many
years yet to come.
The public school fund was large,
ly increased by action of the legisla,
ture at the last session, and by that
same action a further increase will
he available next year. Added
to this, the fund appropriated by
the National government will
probably give next year double the
amount of free education heretofore
received.
1t is highly commendable and
right that or legislators should
provide for free education of our
children, so far as can be without
rendering the taxation overburden-
some.
We think, however, that a step
too far might be taken in provid,
ing for the education of our chill.
dren at the expense of the state.
By this we mean, that no more
state money should be devoted to
branch colleges. The large majority
of Georgia's citizens are poor peo-
pie, and it is their children for
whom the state should provide free
education. We do not wish TO ap>
pear as opposed to collegiate edu>
cation, but we want the state to
DO the greatest good to the great,
est number, and this can be done
only by devoting the school fund
a. nearly exclusively as practicable
10 the common schools of the
rate, leaving the colleges to tcke
Tare Of themselves. OF course we
do not advocate an abandonment
OF She State University, but we do
say no branch colleges.

people want good, plaiu English

afford the attendant expenses that

The old Brooklyn Tabernacle was dedicated
Sept. "a. 1870, and destroyed by fire Dec %,
1872 The cause was a defective fue. 1t was
a much smaller structure than the edifice just
burned. circular in form, with five main en-
frances, small tower and parapet. Sew
eral of the firemen who worked on the burn
ing building Sunday were also on duty at the
previous fire Curiously enough, Policeman
John Baird, veteran Brooklyn officer who
was on duty at the fire of Oct. 49, acted in the
same capacity when the old church was
burned.
The Tabernacle just burned stood not far
from Plymouth church. The building was
constructed after the plan of half amphi-
theatre, the speakers platform being in the
center, with the pews rising in semicircles
around it. The pews on the floor would seat
1900 persons, the gallery had a seating ca
pacity of 500, and 800 more could be accom-
modated on the steps in the aisles The build
ing built in 1913, at a cost of $l47, 900,

SUNDAY TRAINS.

The recent reduction of Sunday traffic
on some of the trunk lines is very graft
flying evidence that railroad managers
are giving attention to this all important
subject. Yet the demand for Sunday
rest is not moving the railway world as
it should, and there must be continued
and persistent agitation of the question
by those who have rights at stake, and
by those who recognize the infeXible
nature of the Divine law, until in all our
broad land there shall not be car wheel
turned on Sunday.
1t is becoming altogether too common
to excuse the sin of Sabbath work on the
claim that it is necessary from the COM
pick nature of our advanced civilization,
and that the Law was not intended to fit
our times as it did that of old. 1t is diff
ficut to believe that any intelligent rail-
road manager or superintendent can seri-
Ously entertain the idea that railroad
work compels men to break the Lords
day. For they would then occupy the fear
full attitude of impeaching the Divine
wisdom, in charging God with foolish
ness in requiring men to "keep holy the
Sabbath day." and yet ordaining ply
steal law, or "a law of civilization, to
abrogate or nullify His spiritual law.
There can be no conflict between moral
laws and the laws of material progress,
for both have the same source in one
Creator. No. They do not believe their
claims. For they know it is quite prac-
ticable to rest nearly every one of their
men on that day.
The changes are rung quite too fire.
quently on "works of necessity and
mercy" The Saviour commended the
removal of an OK or an ass from pit on
the Sabbath, but He never commended
the scheme of putting them into the pit
on Saturday that they might pull them
out on Sunday in order TO have some
thing to do. The men who work under
the direction and control of railroad
company are under the same Divine law
of duty and privilege as every individual
of that company ; and its neglect involves
moral wrong to themselves, which
must be shared in largely by those who
are directly responsible for it.
We do not intend to imply that rail-
road managers are "sinners before the
Lord exceedingly" All we urgeis that
they are not giving this great question
the attention its Importance demands
There is no more prominent fact taught
in sacred history than that nations have
been punished more severely for pro
flaming Gods Sabbaths than for any
other cause. We confidently submit, as
we have done before, that by Sabbath
rest in railroad work great saving would
follow. That a faithful effort to rest oil
this day would reduce the expenses of re-
pair and maintenance of rolling stock
and appliances, secure more regular
work and largely reduce breakages there
can be no doubt. 1t would also be fol
lowed by better work during the week

But even now, after quarter of CEN
fury, it is apparent that the full and final
benefit and beneficence of the great sac
rfice is not yet reached. In many of the
old slave-holding commonwealth there
has existed, and continues to be method
ically practiced systematized repres-
sion of the liberated race, and of those
white citizens who defend its rights of
free speech and lawful voting, and which
not only robs the citizens of all other
States of the full weight of their just
and lawful influence in the legislation of
the country, but which, in its various
forms of fraud, tyranny, violence and
cruelty sets at naught those essential
principals of social order and morality,
without the practice of which no free
and Christian society can exist. These
things affect the welfare and the true
life of every part of the republic; and it
is the duty of every citizen of whatever
race, creed or party to exert himself TO
bring them to an end. Until secure and
peaceful freedom and equality, both DO
litical and civil, come to every citizen of
every State, these monuments will not
have shown their full and true signifi-
canoe.
| am not reviving what flippant and
willy politicians are so fond of calling
"the bitterness and hatreds of the war"
There never have been any such senti-
ments in the hearts of the citizens who
stood for the unity of their country other
or further than an intense dislike of a
rebellion prosecuted for the perpetuation
of human slavery, and the hatred. then
and now, of cruelty, tyranny and oppres-
sion. l pray that such sentiments may
continue earnest and active in the hearts
and minds of men, for they are INSOFAR
able from the love of truth and justice
and liberty. 1t was the inspiration OF
such sentiments that led the NermOnter:
and the patriots of other States to this
great battlefield, and our memorial tC
them will not be complete until sucf
sentiments are realized in the fulles'
sense in every part of the republic.
