TO OPEN THE LYCEUM COURSE.
Prof. George Sprngue-smith's Lee
ture on Art.


Prof. Charles Sprague-Smith opens the
fourth season OF the lyceum tonight and
tomorrow night at the Guards hall The
lecturers and subjects have been chosen
with great care. The lectures of Pror.
sprague-Smith will be found to be thor.
oughly interesting and worthy of the
course in which they have place.
Some few words about the lecturer win
prove of interest to the members of the
lyceum, who expect to attend his two lee
lures on Art and Travel" He graduated
at Amherst College in the class of IA. and
spent five years abroad in all the great
capitals, studying the language and lit
orature of the different nations. For elev-
en- years after his return from Europe he
was organizer and head of the department
of modern languages and foreign literature
at Columbia College, New York. He then
resigned his prOfessorship to enter the lee
tUre field, which he has since so singular
" adorneds during this time filing en-
gagements at Howard University and at
Columbia. Since 1891 he has been public
lecturer under the board of education of
New York City.
Two works in which Prof Sprague-
Smith has been deeply interested, have
been the Peoples Institute, the purpose of
which lis to furnish to the people contin-
science, history, literature and other sub.
jects," and ito bring together individuals
of different occupations in order thereby to
assist in the solution of present problems"
This is a general work-the other more ex-
elusive in it's scope is the Comparative
Literature Society" for the careful study
of the comparative literature of all ma
tons.
From this it will readily be seen how
well equipped the lecturer is for his sub
jects before the lyceum. On the first night
he will lecture on Art-one of the artists
of the Barbizon, either Millet or Corot
The second evening his subject will be on
Travel-Spain and her castles nation
which is attracting especial interest at
the present time. "A Castle in SPAIN will
no longer be a dream to those who attend
the lecture Thursday evening. An effort
is being made to induce Prof. Smith to
give a talk in connection with his work
in the Peoples Institute. If successful
the announcement will be made and de-
lightfu1 talk may be expected. Both of
the lyCeum lectures on "Millet' and
SPAN will be illustrated with the stere-
ODticon.

Rev. ]. W. Hinton, D. D., was
orn in Wilkes county, Geor-
;ia, Jan. 8, 1926 He has been
fifty years in continuous service in the
idnerant ministry, never having had a
spell of sickness in all his long career-he
has never even had a vacation. Thirty
years have been spent as presiding elder
ten of these years on the Savannah dis
trict. A year ago there was quite a scene
in old Trinity church when a united Meth
odism met to do him homage as he was
closing his last term A gold headed cane
was presented and speeches were made.
DIR. Hinton made an elaborate address on
"Altruism i"
DR.. Hinton has done more service than
any man in the conference. He has
preached over Georgia, in Atlanta (where
he began) In Marietta, Milledgeville, Tai
bottom, Athens, Rome, Americas, Column
bus, Macon, Griffin and Savannah. He
has served on stations and districts-a life
of continuous toll. He was reared from
his seventh year an orphan, by his pater-
nal grandfather James Hinton, a plant
er Of much energy and success. This
grandfather taught him to shun debt as
he would a contagion--a lesson well learn
ed. and never forgotten. His mother died
thirty days after the father, In the very
bloom of youth. Her name was Mary Hill

daughter, the eldest child. They are all
honor graduates, standing at the front, as
did the father when he left Cokesburg In
stitute in South Carolina.
Or. Hintons mind is of the highest type
and strongest mold. The close severity of
ms logic is by many supposed to be unsur-
passed, not even by Calhoun, whom he Is
said to resemble, both mentally and phys
lcaAy. The elegance and extent of his
vocabulary can only be measured by the
wonderful rapidity and power of his utter
ance.l A gifted contemporary has said:
Hinton has a tyrannous command of the
English language" Another honored as a
writer says: Hinton's eloquence would
DO honor TO the British parliament"
DR.. Hinton has served in the general con-
terence since 1852, standing only second to
LoVick Pierce in this high honor among
Georgia preachers. He has never sought
anything, and is totally devoid of envy or
Jealousy. While great as an orator, he
is equally gifted as a writer. He founded
the present Methodist Review, and publish
ed and edited this periodical at his own
risk and expense for four years; and wrote
much in it on Philosophical and political
subjects. During this time he was serving
as presiding elder and never lost an APP
pointment.
DR.. Hinton made the first secession
speech in Georgia, and was followed by
the lamented T. r. r. Cobb. This speech
was published. His early ambition was
to be a lawyer and statesman, but ne be-
came preacher and has made long and
honorable record.

Charles Graham and James Chandler,
two negro steamboat deck hands, running
between Savannah and Augusta, engaged
in fistic match near the Central railroad
wharf and were before the recorder yes
terday.
Chandler, who lives at Isl e. Boundary
street, east, was attacked by Graham, it
Is said. For some reason the steamer
captain discharged Graham, who attributed
the blame to Chandler. An effort to reach
an understanding precipitated the fight.
Policeman fIalford arrested Graham
near the market, but not until several taps
of the officers club subdued his unruly
disposition. For resisting an officer and
assault, the recorder imposed a fine Of S15
