The income foots up TO the neighbOrho0d
If $2D0D0o10. an average of $4,000 each. As
every college lives up to its income, these
figures indicate that il costs an average
of SIS per year to impart liberal educa-
ton to American college youth.
The difference between the incomes Of
The Wea thiest institutions and their poorer
sisters is matched by The difference in the
cost Of instruction. While the average
Tor ne country is only $ll5, the amount
IN each of the universities before referred
TO Is from three to four times this.
Harvard pays out s400 per year for each
of her nearly 900 students. Cornell
spends 1919, Columbia $3.50 and Yale $40
As the tuition fees in these institutions
vary from 800 to 500. in no case rising
above the latter amount the figures seem
40 the sustain the contention made by
their managers that the student receives
more or his money in the great universe
ties than in the smaller colleges
Taking into account all the colleges in
the country, the average charge 10 stu.
dents for tuition fees is about S75. while
the cost Of instruction TO the colleges
themselves is $ll5. In the wealthiest uni
vorsities The tuition charge averages $50

Valdosta, Ga, Sept. 24-There was a
good deal of excitement here last night
over rumors that a mob from Mineola
was going TO storm the Jail and lynch
the tRo negroes who we're charged with
the murder Of Henry Vickers.
The story reached Sheriff Passmore and
he communicated with Mayor Pro TEN.
J. T. Roberts as to the best thing to do
for the protection of the prisoners. Mayor
Roberts requested the captain of the Val
dosta Nidettes to furnish a guard for the
jail and twenty men were put on duty
under Capt. VIII knight and Lieuts. Fen
der and Wilson.
great many strangers in the city heard
Of the rumor and they congregated at
different places and discussed the situa-
ton among themselves. Some of them
believed that the members of the com
pany were members of the mob, while the
military boys regarded with suspicion
those who were congregated at the var-
Gus places as mere lookers-on.
The mob did not turn up aud the eX-
pected lynching did not happen. though
the mob is said to have formed outside of
town.
T. ]. Luke, who killed Josh Jernigan at
Ocilla on Thursday, was arrested here yes
terday and returned to that place for con-
finement until the court investigates the
killing. II is said that the coroner's jury
rendered a verdict favorable to Luke. He
came here just after the tragedy and told
the police officers that he expected Jerni-
CAMS relatives would swear out a warrant
against him. He also told the officers
where they could find him if the warrant
was sent TO them.
Luke stated that he left there 90 avoid
trouble with Jernigans friends and rela-
tives and not that he wanted to dodge the
law. An officer from Irwin county car
