Agricultural College Presidents.

Gen. Stephen D. Lee has made o
fine record as president OF the State
Agricultural and Mechanical College
of Mississippi He has made the in
stitution one of the most famous and
most useful of it's kind in the country.
It is easy to understand therefore
why Gen. Lee has been elected unani-
plouslx president of Clemson College
ri Fort Hill, S. C. The trustees of
that institution were on the lookout
for the best man they could find for
the position and their choice fell on
Gen. Lee. The college will occupy
the homestead Of John c. Calhoun.
His son-in-law, Mr. Clemson, gave
100000 to the State in addition to a
magnificent site and valuable build
ings. The institution will receive
$4,000 year from South Carolina
n addition to this bequest. Gen.
Lee was paid $4,000 year by Mis-
sisappi. South Carolina gives him
$4,000 and home He is worth it.
But this incident shows how preca-
rious is the tenure of Georgia on any
valuable teacher that may develop in
her service. Teachers are paid mis-
cradle salaries in the public schools
OF Georgian the folly Of this policy
viii become evident when other States
begin to take our best teachers from
US. Alabama now has one of the best
agricultural schools in the country at
Auburn. Three of its most distin-
guished men were formerly ii the
employ OF Georgia and would proba-
bly, have been there yet if their ser
vices had been appreciated aud they
had been reasonably compensated.
One of these is the president OF the
institution, William Leroy Broun,
one Of the most valuable professors
that ever adorned the University Of
Georgia. Another is Professor j.
Stanley Newman, o trained teacher,
and the man who did more for the
agricultural bureau Of Georgia than
any other. The third is Professor 2.
H. Nell, former State Chemist of
Georgia and a teacher Of the first
order. AL these men went away
from Georgia because they could do
better elsewhere. It is cheap policy
in one sense, and, in another sense. a
very expensive policy, to permit such
men to leave the State because We do
not appreciate their talents and use
fulness and offer them mean salaries.
The recent experience of Mississippi
in losing her most valuable educator
and the oft-repeated experience Of
our own state in the same line ought
to teach lesson. Good men are in
demand, and if we expect to keep
them we must pay them.-Macon
Telegraph.
THE statement that General Lee
has beea made president Of the Glenn
son College is incorrect The trus-
tees have not yet made any appoint
ments.

The punishment n vogue Ill the
French army are Of Very severe na-
ture. more especially when i - oon-
sidered that the 1ren thus punished
are not by any means criminals, but
only soldiers who have not behaved
so well as they might. These are de-
ported to !Algiers under the name
OF .'Camisprds. " where they are en-
rolled in the "compagnies de dlsci
pine" Before embarking the man
has his boots taken from him. which
are replaced by sabots. and on arriy-

out to DO work. and are al the time
under the supervision Of ncn-com-
missione0 officers. who ,rcat Their
interiors with the greatest brutality.
It is. however, the punishments TO
which these men are subjected Tor
the most triti;ng ofenses which most
excite Indignation.

them night and day in q hole il the

common punishment Of the cargo ule

nens of men in the tombeauS. OF reg

timetres broad and sixty high, is no
rarity; and during their incarceration
the prisoners receive no vine nor
water nor coffee. A little meat and
some bouillon is their whole nourish
ment d:rrins the day. But those
who are punished with cells are IL
comparably worse off. They are
never allowed, under any circumstan-
ces. to leave the hole they are kept III
either b. night or by day. They
have no 0i, les Of work to pass the
time, and only get warm soup every
second day, with q verylmited guam
tity of water daily.
The punishment is made still more
severe by putting the man into irons
on certain occasions. The dehn-
o,,ent has two rings around his an
kles, which are. connected by an iron
bar rather more tlan footn length
so that lis legs form an isosceles tri-
angle with it. He is forced to lie
down on his face, and then his arms
are chained on his back, whoreupon
he is put into his tombeau. lie can
only eat his soup Ike q dog, and if
he wants to drink he must seize his
bottle with his teeth, and should he
let the bottle fall his ration OF water

The Feast of Purim.

The feast of Purim dates from 2243 years
ago, when the wicked designs of Haman
against the Jews were thwarted by the
good influences of Esther over the reigning
King Ahasu erus, sometimes called Arta-
xerxes Longlmanus. As every Bible reader
knows, Haman's designs against the Israel
ties reacted upon himself, and he was
finally hanged upon the same high scaffold
which he had prepared for Mordecai, the
Jew.
This day, on which Esther's influence
proved triumphant in behalf of her people.
has ever since been observed as a day of
feasting and gladness among the children of
Israel, and is still celebrated by them in a
marked manner in all lands where they
find home. For this reason Purim holds
a high place in the Jewish calendar, and is
one of the most strictly observed. of all
their feasts.
The day before Purim is one of fasting,
for the Biblical story says that Esther and
her maidens tasted and prayed before ap-
preaching the king with the all important
behest. At O'Clock in the evening, how
ever, the fast ends and the feast begins.

ing Ne'cS: We note objections in your

fore the court house. If the city council or
county commissioners, or both, wish to find
suitable place for the sales complained of.
we can arrange it for them, when it will
not be nuisance on the public streets and
be convenient for the public who buy and
our brother auctioneers. For a small com
mission on auction sales, which we can
arrange with other firms in auction bust
ness, sales can be made in our large cattle
lots, we having recently added to the lots
formerly Moran's dray lois to cattle lots,
and the court house sale day crowd could
easily be accommodated in portion. We
have sales there every Saturday now, and
1T being in the portion OF the city where all
the stock is sold, it strikes us it would lust
suit, as the crowd would be under fence and
of the streets of the city. County Com
missioners could make it a legal sale place
if they wished. Any way, it would suit the
public, and we think the auctioneers and
