ATHENS HAS A HARD FIGHT ON.
EFFORTS TO REMOVE THE STATE
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

Two Committees That VIII DO Some

to Base "a Recommendation OF ne

Purchased For Agricultural In
structiOn.
Athens, Ga, July ITO those VINO nave
studied the situation thoroughly II is APP
parent that the fight to remove the state
college of agriculture and mechanic arts
from Athens to Griffin is on in earnest
Two legislative investigating committees
are to visit Athens this summer TO look
into the affairs and management OF the
university. One IL headed by J. Pope
Browning of Pulaski. who has hitherto
tired to remove the agricultural college
TO Griffin. and the other is headed by A.
O. Blalock of Fayette, who just now Is
stirring up all the departments OF the
state government.
Indeed. it is reported that the Brown
committee. having too many university
men on #. did not suit the anti-university
crowd. and that they were really the IN
soiration and beginning Of the Blalock
movement
Then the recent visit Of Mr.. Brown 70
Mississippi. where he Investigated the ag-
1cuitural college there, coupled with his
utterances since he returned home cause
the friends OF the university 70 believe
that he is in favor OF the establishment Of
a college OF agriculture separate and
apart from the university.
The officers and friends Of tho state coll
lego OF agriculture are ready 70 prove
that the money belonging TO that college
has been judiciously expended and has
brought about important results.
Prof. j. y. Hunnicutt u now preparing
to introduce into his classes next session
the most improved and practical methods
OF teaching agriculture, and IN order that
his work may be the more successful the
board OF trustees has ordered the purchase
and thorough equipment OF a large farm
near Athens..th sale Of the present farm
at Rock College. The new farm viii be
purchased within the next few weeks.
Many friends OF the university maintain
that. under the law. the legislature has
no power 20 remove the state college or
agriculture. The university Is chartered
institution. and under the law of congress
making the appropria lions 20 the agricul-
turai colleges. 81 Is required that the funds

that they be used IN teaching those studies

widows or Eminent rrenchmen.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Some interesting details concerning the lives
OF some dozen eminent French widows have
come to light. 1t appears that Nine. MacMahon.
the wife of the Marshal and President OF that
NAME. declined to accept a state pension when
offered to her. She is, however. well provided
mansion. situated In the Ruc de Bellcchasse,
but during the summer months she rctires TO
her chateau in I e Loiret. The royalist circles
In which she moves are Of n very select and eN.
elusive nature. Nine. Carnot lives an extremely
retired life. but still receives the visits OF Princes
and other distinguished people who come to con-
dole with her. In her house she has a little
chapel. which she has arranged herself and
filed with souvenirs of her late husband. She
also. like Nine. MacMahon. has declined a state
pension.
The wife Of the Grand Francais." NJ. de
Iesseps. spends the greater part OF the year at
La ChesnaGe. where her husband died. She re-
ceives a pension of 10000 francs a year from
has taken up her residence at the Institute
bearing her husbands namc,a and is in receipt of
pension OF 25 600 francs a year. One of 1.-THE most
active of these ladies is the wife of the historian
her time in bringing out new editions OF her late
husbands work and editing the. MSS. he LEFT
behind. including his memoirs. Nine. Alcxan-
DIRE Dumas, too, is busily engaged. but in a diff
ferent way. with her husbands Mss, for her
object is to prevent any Of the numerous works
or IN of works he left behind from being
published. The wife OF the illustrious COM
poser Of " Faust" Nine. Gounod-Goes a step
further than this, and refuses to allow the per-
Torrance of some OF Gounod's earlier compost
lions, on the ground that the reputation of the
deceased musician might suffer from the criti-
cisms passed upon them.
