Representative Hardin's bill to establish
an agricultural and mechanical college in
the southern section of the state as a part
of the University of Georgia deserves to
become law, upon its merits All of the
state institutions Of learning. with the
exception of the colored college, are in
Middle or North Georgia. No provision Is
made for the youth of the southern sec
ton who cannot go so far away from home
to secure an education. In justice to the
young men of South Georgia, the members
of the Legislature from the middle and
upper sections of the state ought to vote
for the bill. The school, we think should
he established at Savannah, as the best
suited place in South Georgia, all matters
taken into consideration. We are quite
willing, however, that the bill should go
through providing for the location of the
school in the municipality Offering the
best inducements, If Savannah cannot do
better than other competitors, then anoth-
er city ought to have it. But the main
thing is to get the school, for the benefit
of the youth of South Georgia.

If reports are true, there is at least one
newspaper in the West that will soon be
in a position to preach prosperity with
renewed vigor. We refer to the Seattle

deserves all of the success it is
winning. y is bringing together
large number of the most progressive

shows what can be done on a South Geor-

value of the exposition as an advertise

over estimated. Valdosta is to be COM

The fourth anniversary edition of the
Waycross Journal, D. B. Sweat editor and
proprietor issued Oct. %, is a credit to
the management and the city which the
Journal represents. The edition, printed
on book paper and with colored cover, is
handsomely illustrated, and is filed from
cover to cover with information respecting
the magic CITY, and its enterprises and
people, written in an entertaining manner.
Waycross is one of the best of the smaller
cities in Georgia, which is equivalent to
saying in the whole country, and the Jour
nal attractively represents it to the out

of the deserved prosperity of both town

much more talk about the affair than the
circumstances warranted Call money was
very high, to be sure, but the trouble was
very short lived, and the interests affected
by the hammering process administered
to prices by the bears have quickly rail-
lied and things are now stable again.
"Outside of Wall street and the men
engaged on the stock exchange, the furry
caused little interest. At this time Of the
year the weak spots are very apt to be
found out, as people are holding their mon
ey for operations beginning after the first
of the new year. The very large amount
of money invested in industrials and big
enterprises generally during the early part
of the year encouraged speculation to a
very great degree. Naturally, when peo-
pie began cleaning UP, SO to speak, for
the new year, some interests suffered.
Moneyed men naturally held off putting
out their means until after the holidays.
and this, with other causes, operated to
show up the weak spots and with the re-
suit that several houses suffered heavily.
and cali money became very high.
while prices showed a great shrinkage
a compared with last spring. yet the
drop was not so great compared with con-
ditions a year ago. I say that no per-
manent injury. was done. BY that ! mean
that business has been good all fall and
winter, and that the outlook generally
speaking, for 1900. is very bright"

Seattle would manifest as great an i'm
proyement during 1850 as is to be record
ed for the present year.
