Georgia's Poor white Boy.

-(Ffom th6 AtIaht2 C0hstNutlon.1
On every hilltop in the neighborhood OF At
lanta, there is a negro college or university,
comfortably. if not amply endowed. Their doors
are wide open and negro is turned away.
They represent higher education, well as tech
nical education, and. as Booker Washington tes-
titles, they sending out teachers quaIiied to
carry enlightenment to their race.
But the whites have only one poorly equipped
school Of training that holds any promise to
the poor white boy. He comes here and he
finds that even the standing room has been
taken up; there is no place for him; and he
returns to his hoe beset with the bitterness
which follows deep disappointment. Time goes
on, and when he becomes a burden to himself
the great statesman who represents his county
in the legislature introduces a bill to allow
him to peddle without a license.

a most dangerous practice. Free samples of all
sorts of nostrums are almost daily thrown about

be prevented, at least SO regulated that the
dangerous compounds could not possibly fall into
the hands Of children.

A NEW DRY GOODS COMPANY.

A number of prominent business men
have applied for charter for a cor
poration to be known as the Hicks &
Hoge Dry Goods Company, which will
take over the wholesale and jobbing
business heretofore conducted by the
firm of Hicks & Hoge at the southwest
corner of Main and Fourteenth streets.
The incorporators are w. B. Hicks,
George Hook, w. l.. Smith, c. L. Coen
and George d. Maxwell. Several other
gentlemen are expected to be interested,
but the publication in the Intelligencer
that George E. Stifel and one or two
others were interested was incorrect.
Mr. Maxwell will probably be manager
Of the new company, and the business
will be carried on at the old stand,
which is admirably adopted for the
business.

GREAT CANAL Project

Engineer George w. Rafter, in charge
OF the survey for the proposed ship
canal from the Great Lakes to the At
lantic ocean, has completed his pre-
lminary work and drawn his report.
The project is to cut a canal 80 feet
deep and $40 feet wide, which is three
and one-third times the depth and five
times the width of the Erie canal, from
Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, aroune
Niagara Falls, Lake Ontario at Oswego
through the Oswego river to Oneida
Lake, thence through the Mohawk to
the Hudson river. A single lock will
be 1000 feet long, with walls over so
feet high. The greatest problem has
been to find storage for water to feed
this great canal on its various levels,
and yet not injure the water supply OF
manufacturing concerns now using va,
rious rivers.
Mr.. Rafter plans now a great dam at
Carthage, on the Blick river, in JEFF
ferson county, n. Y, making a lake
covering so square miles of land, for
feeding the canal.

IN SOCIETY.

These extremely warm days and
nights is one cause of the large at
tendance at the local parks, but an
event which already promises to be
popular and largely attended is the mid
summer outing of the Knights of st.
John at that cool resort, Mozart Park,
next Wednesday afternoon and evening.
The Knights outing last season proved
one of the most enjoyable given at
Mozart, and this season, with an in
creased membership, there is no reason
to doubt but that it will exceed last
seasons, both in genuine enjoyment
and attendance. Meister's band and
orchestra will furnish the exhiliration.
To-day the Opera House band and
orchestra will issue cards for their
Summernachtfest to be given at the
Wheeling Park next Wednesday even
ing, August the second. The pro-
gramme arranged for the affair is an
excellent one. Following the concert q
dance will take place in the Casino.

CHANCE FOR MUSICIANS.

Enlistments in this city for the band
of the Twenty-seventh regiment are
slow, so far. The band is to number
twenty-eignt men, and it is doubtful il
anything like that number can be OBJ
tanned here, although the pay is good
and the duties light. In Pittsburg two
bands are being enlisted, one for the
Twenty eighth regiment and one fol
the Thirtieth. Arthur Dorsey, of Nor
gantown, has enlisted in the Twenty
eighth band, and Walter Mertrezat, OF
this State, is making an endeavor
to recruit the band of the Thirtieth
regiment himself, and has half a dozen
applicants, SO far.

A PROJECT WHICH FAILED.

Some three months ago a project was
on foot to acquire the Laughlin prop
erty at the northwest corner OF Chap
line and Twelfth streets, and the Baird
property adjoining, the idea OF num-
