The gold democracy made its great

finishing blow to the hopes OF the old
democratic leaders, who had thought to
rebuild the party on Cleveland adminis-
tration lines.-Springfield Republican.

ELECTED A COLLEGE PRESIDENT.
Prof w. 5. Wilson of the High school
Nav 60 to DnhIOnegn.

Prof. Walter S. Wilson, teacher Of
mathematics in the High school, has been
rendered the presidency of the North
Georgia Agricultural college at Dahlone-
ga. The position was made vacant by the
resignation of President j. w. WaddeIl.
There were a number of applicants for
the position, but the name of Prof. Will
son was not among the applications His
friends on the board of trustees had re-
quested him to apply, but he did not do
so. on the contrary. the day before the
election, he instructed them to withhold
his nake. Notwithstanding this, he was
elected.
Prof. Wilson Is a graduate of the North
Georgia college, and prior to his coming
to Savannah, was a professor there. He
feels a warm regard for the institution,
and a desire for its success as an educa-
tional center for the young men of the
state.
The position as president pays 1880 a
year. The election of a president Is
through the board Of trustees. Their choice
however must be confirmed by the board
Of trustees Of the State University. of
which the Agricultural College is a
branch.
Prof Wilson said last night that he did
not know whether he would accept or not.
as there are certain conditions here upon
which his action Is largely contingent.
His acceptance or declination viii depend
largely upon the grand jury Of this coun-
" II the appropriation for the support
Of the school proves insufficient for their
conduct and the payment OF the salaries
that have prevailed, It Is likely that he
win accept. The board OF education may
take some action that will render a cut
unnecessary, even with a smaller appro-
prlation than that requested, and. this
being the case, a reduced salary will no
longer be on induoemont to Prof Wilson
70 accept the offer OF the board OF the
Agricultural College. He will consult his
friends before making his answer

Doubtful LegisIntion.

The wiseacres in our legislature,
thought that the law requiring insurance
companies to deposit $4,000 with the state,
created trusts and combinations for the
reason that only the rich insurance COM
panies could afford such deposit, framed
new laws, which let the bars down, ad-
hitting not only the questionable compa-
MES of other states, but creating wild
cats" within our own borders, with the
result that several failures among such
companies have already occurred. Who
suffers by such legislation? Certainly not
the wide awake merchant, for he has
means at his command to ascertain the
standing of the companies. Would it not
be well for you to read the insurance laws
of Massachusetts before placing your life
insurance. The laws of this common
wealth do more to protect policy-holders
than the laws of any other state in the
Union. We will take pleasure In for

ton, giving age and address. Harty &

A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING, THIS.
HOW sAvANNAHs NEW POsTOFF-
ICE WILL LOOK COMPLETED.

The Structure as 1t Now ADpears-It
VIII Be One of the Prettiest Gov
eminent Buildings in the South.
An Ornament to Savannah, at the
Same Time Filling "a Great Need.
How the Frieze Is Being Put Up
Under the Direction of Architect
Elliott.
As the work on Savannah's new govern
ment building nears completion, it is In
teresting to know just how it Will appear
and to study the artistic designs which
enter into it's construction.
The building occupies the whole block
bounded by President, Bull, York and
Whitaker streets. 1t is a rectangle in
plan, with its greatest dimensions 1872 feet
by 81 feet inches. The central portion
Of the building on President and York
streets is recessed, forming wings or pa
vilions at both ends. These exterior walls
connecting the pavilions are called eur
tain" walls, and in this building are
pierced almost entirely with arched OPEN
ings. forming loggias.
In front of the curtain wall on Presi-
dent street is an arcade of five arches,
forming an open vesubule, or loggia, The
central arch is directly in front of the
tower, which forms the central feature
of the north front, and which is twenty
one feet square, and contains nine stories.
The building itself is three stories high.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-05-30

from which is suspended a basket OF
scrolls, which conveys the idea Of rapid
transportation of the peoples messages.
The second story curtain wall arches are
supported by pink marble columns, with
carved capitals Of white marble. The
spandrils over these arches are ornament
ed with designs of oak, pine, laurel and
palm branches and wreaths. The oak
signifies strength and the laurel victory.
The second story Of the pavillions con-
tains loggias, with two fiuted columns,
supporting balconies overhead, at the
third floor level. The third story curtain
walls and pavilions both have the loggia
treatment; the arches of the former are
supported by double huted columns with
carved capitals, and those of the latter
with large single columns with similar
capitals. All of these arches have paneled
soffits, containing carved rosettes, and
their front faces are moulded and carved.
Between the groups of curtain wall arch
es is a spandTil, which VIII be ornament
ed with a large shield with raised design,
showing the scales of justice entWined
with the serpents, which represent wis.,
dom, and back of all the sword represent
ing the power to enforce the wise decree
of justice.
There are other designs, symbolizing
the postofce department. The orna-
mental work for the building is being care
fully done by skilled modelers and carv-
ers, who follow the drawings of the de-
signer, and perpetuate his ideas in en-
during marble. The main frieze is very
important part of the design, and has re-
ceived much attention by those in charge
of the work. 1t will contain discs of coli
ored marbles, and grouped between will
be chmeras, cOTnicopias, foliage and
fruit so skillfully arranged to form a
harmonious flowing design. Above the
frieze is the heavy projecting cornice,
with a dentil course, and ornamented mo-
billions and mouldings.
The main roofs are to be covered with
Spanish tiles of a reddish color. The tow

there were no sick policemen and fremen

give his personal attention to some OF the
places which had been reported to him as
being in very bad condition. AS the result
OF his efforts some very Objectionable and
