THE ACADEMY PLANS.

What shall be the plan and lines of the
restored Chatham Academy? Shall they
be those of many years ago, or those of
the present with view to the future?
In simple terms, that is the query which
confronts those who are in charge of the
matter of rebuilding the partly burned
edihce. 1t is probably not practicable to
raze the whole building to the ground to
erect upon the site a modern high school
house upon the most advanced plans suit
ed to city of the size and importance of
Savannah. But is it not both practicable
and desirable that there should be a more
decided Improvement upon the old plans
than is now contemplated?
The situation is this: The old building
has been partly destroyed by fire. 1t
the old lines would be to practically per-
petuate the plan of many years ago,
since which time the city has grown in
school population very considerably, and
great advances have been made in school
architecture. 1t could no doubt be re-
stored upon the Old lines at o less money
cost than would be possible if new ones
were adopted; but is a difference of a few
thousand dollars to stand in the way in
a matter like this? 1t will probably be
many years before an opportunity for i'm
provement at a cost as low will again be
offered. Is it not possible for the author
tiles to discover some way in which the
additional money needed can be raised?
1t would seem that the difficulty ought
not to be insuperable. Why should it be
necessary" to adopt an unsatisfactory
plan for the restoration because a rela-
lively small sum of money is not in
hand?"
The Urban plan for the restoration, as
we understand the matter is favored be-
cause it comes within the sum of money
available. The Witcover plan is not IA
vored because it is thought It
would tequire little extra ex-
penditure. 1t is believed that the
Whoever plan would be the better suited
to the wants of the school. 1t would af-
ford more room, more light, more ventlla-
ton, more means of ingress and egress.
and in a word, would be more 'up-to-
date" Inwardly, the building would af-
ford a greater amount of convenience and
a lessened amount of friction between the
classes. and outwOrdy 1t would present
an appearance more nearly in conformity
with the requirements of modern archi-
lecture.
Meantime, the less desirable plan is 10
be necessarily" favored because 1t is the
cheaper! That is the forecast, at least.
But the matter should not be settled upon
that basis. Savannah should have a
modern academy building in the place of
the one burned; and 1t is to be hoped that
those in authority will find a way to pro-
vide such a modern building, and thus
meet the wishes of the people. The addi-
ton of few thousand dollars in a case of
this kind would not be resented by the
taxpayers. The willingness of a contractor
to rebuild the academy according to Mr..
Witcover's plan, for practically the same
amount tina Nj. Urbans plan calls for,
would seem 10 do away with the objection
on the ground of excessive cost.

victories The most effective way to
prevent such Vicious legislation is to
keep that party out of power through
which such laws come. The sentiment
towards the Negro in every republican
state is far better than it is in any demo
cratic state. eternal hostility to the
Negro" is tenet of that organization
now masquerading as the party of JET
terfon, and we do not see how any
thoughtful Negro with a grain of self
respect can give it his support directly
or indirectly. We are quite sure that
the black voters of the state that pro-
duced Frederick Douglass, Samuel
Ringgold Ward and Benjamin. Banne'
ker will hit this monster hard on cleo
ton day. What their brothers will do
in Maryland On November 6 is of su'
preme interest to Negroes everywhere.
The republican organization of the
state is such that our expectations as
to the column in which it will take its
place will not be disappointed. Har-
mony prevails in republican ranks as
never before. Senator McComas has
proven himself a strong and astute
leader Of the republican hosts. In all
parts of the state colored men have
creditabIe representation in the party
councils and have proven themselves
organizers and safe advisers. Indeed,
for the republican ticket he situation in
Maryland today is highly encouraging.
We only hope that over.confdence
will not invade the ranks of the sup
porters of Mckinley and Roosevelt and
bring about a condition of lethargy
and activity that may endanger the use
cess of the republican ticket in Novem.

Some years ago the Miner Normal
school was temporarily transferred
from Its building 70 some other school
building While located elsewhere, a
white school was taught ia its building.
When it became known that the Miner
Normal school would return to its
building, loud protests were entered
against. permitting a school in that
aristoeratic white settlement. The Dis.
trict Commissioners were petitioned
against permitting the colsred school to
return to Its building. Ameng the
signers of the scurrilous petition, we
noticed the name of a certain OK.

OF his state by Negro votes, who
had been elected to the United States

and is by Negro patronage. The Com.
mlssioners promptly..and properly over
ruled the petition, and the best know.

MARYLAND AND ITS POLITICS,

Maryland presents one of the most
interesting fields of political action in
the pending campaign. 1t is of the
highest importance that the electoral
vote of this state should be returned
this year for the Republican ticket as
it was in 1896. 1t would be extremel
unfortunate for the country that a
state SO rich in all the great business
resources that 60 to make powerful
and influential community, should de-
clare by its suffrage that it is willing
to take place in line with states that
have no great commercial enterprises
to foster or to ruin. The sentiment
that would be created by democratio
victory in this state would not only be
bad for Maryland but give encourage
ment to a socialis:ic and populistic
scheme of government with which its
more thoughtful citizens cannot posi-
bly, have any sympathy. From all re-
ports that have come to US from differ
eHt parts OF the state We feel warranted
in predicting that no such fears as we
have suggested will Ee realized in this
campaign at least The people of
Maryland are thoroughly aroused to
the Importance of the situation from a
business point of view which is con.
fronting the country today. They do
not intend to allow the state of which
they are SO proud to aid the party of
notification and general cussedl ess to
pull down its great industrial temples
or stop their wheels of activity.
The colored voters of MARYLAND 81.
pecially are vitality interested and con.
cerned in the coming election. 1t is of
superlative Importance to them that
the party of manhood rights should be
triumphant. In Virginia, neighbor-
ing state, "Jim Crow Car" law is in |
force and the black citizens are virtu-
ally disfranchised. The history of |
Southern States proves that the enact.
ment of such laws is contagious and
finds ready soil in those states where
the democratic sentiment is constantly
strengthened by repeated democratic
