richest gift that has yet been made to
Georgia is free tuition.
lie then spoke particularly of the agrl-
cultural school, showing that not one cent
of the money received from the United
States could be used to equip any
other school, and to establish one
elsewhere would necessitate a large expen-
diture on the part of the state. He asked
if the state were prepared to do this-to
spend at least 100000 to house valuable
apparatus now In the possession of the uni
Verslty. He argued that agriculture was
being taught now better at the university
than it would be elsewhere. He showed
how the funds of the institution had been
spent almost entirely to equip those
branches of study which compose the ag-
ricultural and mechanical course.
He held up Clemson College as an ex-
ample of a school being dragged to ruin
by political manipulation. He reviewed
the history of the Mississippi agricultural
school, showing that during the seventeen
years of its existence the institution had
profted little and accomplished little. He
said it was a mistake to think that the ag-
rcultural school could be taken away
from the university without doing injury
to the latter 1t would mean its death, he
argued. He mentioned DR.. Hunnicut S
testimony before the Blalock and Brown
committees and held that the failure of the
farm at Athens was not the fault of the
university and was no argument against it,
Concluding, he said while he did not ask
the general assembly to go down
in their pockets to help the
university, he besought them not to rob it.
DIR FELTON, was then called for, and upon
motion of Senator Battle was presented
as THE Old Man Eloquent" He was too
feeble to stand at the desk, and had to
speak sitting in his chair. His voice was
clear and powerful however, and the
words he spoke for the university were
fun of eloquenCe and effect DIR. FELTON,
said the greatest regret of his protra cted
public life was the failure of bill which
he championed to appropriate one-half of
the income from the Western and Atlantic
road to the needs of the university and its
branches. He said the history of the
state and of the university were indissolu-
bly, connected and associated. Strike
down The university and you impair and
mar the glory of Georgia" DIR. FELTON,
called the names of the distinguished men
who have graduated from the university
and their great services to the state and
to the nation. He told of the good that
the institution had accomplished and how
dear it should be to the heart of every
Georgian. DR.. FELTON, was interrupted at
every pause by applause. He spoke for
three-quarters of an hour, but was list
ened to with the closest attention, his re-
ception by the general assembly being an
ovation.

Their Association In Session at Ma
con With "a Good Attendance.
Macon, Ga, Nov. 1.-THE Georgia
Dairymen's Association met this morning
In the city court room, r. ]. Redding of
the state experiment station presiding.
The address of welcome was delivered
by City Attorney Wimberly, and was re-
sponded to by eX-Gov. Northen in behalf
of the association.
President Redding delivered his annual
address, and stated that no branch of
farming equalled that of dairying in the
matter of profit and pleasure, and that
the state needed more milk and butter
than now produced. The speech was an
excellent presentation of the subject Of
dairy farming.
Hon. Henry Afford of the bureau of ami
NAL industry of the agricultural DEPART
ment made short speech.

speaking.

POLICE SLIP UP ON PONDER.
O'QUINN ACQUITTED AND THE 9TH
ERS OUT ON BAIL.

No Closing Argument Made by the
Lawyers on Either Side of the
Cause.-The Police Fail to Present
nny Testimony on Which the Jury
Could Base COnVictiOn-The Ju-
ry out Only Thirty Minutes-The
Case Against Steinau and Simon
Very Likely Not to BE Pressed.
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 17.-Without an argu-
ment from counsel the jury In the Police
man Ponder murder case returned a YER
dict of mot guilty. in favor of Walter
OQuinn to-day. 1t took just half an hour
for the twelve men to reach this conclus-
ion from the evidence before them.
The agreement of the lawyers not 20
make any arguments is probably unparal-
leled in the criminal annals of the state
in a case involving the life or death of a
prisoner.
But this was only an incident in what
IS regarded by the public one of the
most farccal trials on record, for the ac-
quittal Of O'Quinn has made the police
department ridiculous in the public eye.
When he and Steinau and Simon were ar,
rested for Ponder's murder, the police an.
nounced confidently that they were the
guilty parties and would be easily con-
victed, but when the first one of the three,
the one against whom the most evidence
was supposed to have been gathered, was
put on trial the prosecution failed com
pletely. The police had practically no evil
dence worth considering and the solicitor
was ready to give up the fight almost in
the first round.
In consequence of the utter failure of
the police in the OQuinn case, Simon and
Steinau are likely to be given little fu-
ture trouble. The police never claimed
to have any direct evidence against them,
and shortly after O'Quinns acquittal, they
we're both released from Jail on $1,000 bond.
The failure of the police in this case adds
another to the already long list of muir
ders committed in this city within the past
few years that have never been cleared up.
