ernor much adverse comment was made
as all men of close observation know that
classics and agriculture would not har-
monte and the final result would be that
the State University would absorb the
whole thing to the detriment of the sons
and daughters of farmers, consequently
in 1887 when the Hatch Act was passed
giving each state and territory $4,000 an
nually for the support and maintenance
of an agricultural experiment station, the
governor was making preparations to or
ganize the station at Athens. To this a
strong disapproval of the masses went up
and in December, 1883, the legislature
passed an act putting the location and
direction of the station under board of
directors and they located 1t at Griffin.
Now the Morrill, bill approved August
/, $780, the caption Of which reads as fol-
lows: F

ceeds of the public lands to the more COM

provisions of an Act Of Congress, approved

This bill appropriated $4,000 the first
year and increased 1t $1,000 a year until it

applied only to instruction in agriculture,
the mechanic arts, the English language
and the various branches of mathematical,
physical, natural and economic science,
with special reference to their applications
in the industries Of life.
In Mr.. Hills write up of the A. and M.
college for Stevens book, Georgia Com

365 to 373 he fails to mention this Morrill,
fund and so far as we have examined 1t is
not mentioned within the book. Mr.. Hill
was too conscientious to name it another
integral part of the State University.
Neither have we found out how 1t was
dropped into the University bag, but it is
there all the same and made another in
tegral part of the University or the
'tegral' part, "the tail that wags the

But in that write up Mr.. Hill does say
that 1.-THE trustees have recently appro-

I would humbly suggest that every

money In that county with itemized
statement as to the number Of scholars
and teachers employed. The people should

is proposed to establish in his memory a

MRS. M'FADYEN TALKS
OF CHILD LABOR QUESTION

ploitation of her little children under 70
in mills is becoming so widely known that
1t cannot be long before this blot on fair
Dixieland is removed"
In reply to a question Mrs. Macfadyen
stated there are over 10000 white chill
dren under IA toiling out their lives In the
textile mills Of the south. and 1t would be
conservative to say that at least $1,000
of these are under II.
A child labor bill has just been passed
by the Kentucky legislature, prohibiting
the employment of children under IA in
factories.
Mrs. Macfadyen was in Louisville at the
end of February and spoke on invitation
to an influential gathering of women at
the home of Mrs. John Castleman, wife
of the distinguished general, John Castle
man.
She was also at Frankfort, KY. and
found that the statement of the case of
the children working in tobacco factories
and textile mills in that state called forth
q very strong interest. She thinks that
the newly enacted law will now have the
support of public opinion.
While in Frankfort KY, she saw at
1880 a. m. white children under II working
in the hemp mills and two hours later
little negro girls on their way to school.
This is a sample of the state or amairS
throughout the south.
'It will be the salvation of the cotton
industry as southern enterprise" said
Mrs. Macfadyen, ito enact a law which
will give the children of the new industrial
class, at least a part of the chance for
education and growth that the northern
capitalists who are so anxious to prevent
IL have for tie children of their own
states"
Mrs. Macfadyen emphasized the fact
that it was a misrepresentation on the
part of the mill owners to call this
Tabor agitation"

Agriculture the First Profession.

Agriculture was the first profession
adopted by mankind. There were no law
yers, doctors, manufacturers or trans
porters Of goods when men begun farm
ing.
On the farmers work all the rest Of
them built. And the first farming was
stock raising. There was much grass and
the cattle multiplied amazingly. With
meat there came a call for bread stuffs.
Then the tiller of the soil appeared at
the front, but the early farmers were herd
ers and drove their fiocks up and down,
hunting grass pastures and running water
for cattle, sheep. goats and swine.
The camel was the early beast Of bur-
den. The camel was strong, subsisted on
grass and lived to good old age.
The first clothing was made Of skins
and fax and hemp.
Tradition has IL that silk was made in
China a thousand or more years before
Christ There was no cotton known until
about Homer's time, and oats are first
mentioned about the time of Christ. We
are told that sugar and coffee first came
from Arabia, but coffee was not used as
a beverage until the sixteenth century.
even in that country.
When the first settlers arrived in Amer
ica they found that the Indians lived al
most entirely by fishing and hunting.
The squaws worked the corn patches and
the maize has always been known as In
dian corn since that time.
They found tobacco, a new plant to
them, on this continent. Sweet potatoes
were also found in America Wheat was
brought over here after Columbus discov>
cred America Arabia and Abyssinia were
the coffee districts of the country until
Brazil stepped in and largely absorbed the
markets. Spain was for several hundred
years the wool growing country Of the
world. Now Australia has taken up the
lead and keeps II.
Farming on large plantations in the
south with slave labor was the largest
exhibit of farming known to the world
until the great west after the war went
upon prairie lands with machinery and
revolutionized grain growing on this con-
tinent.
In my opinion the system Of agriculture
in this country will change gradually. Lit
tie farms around towns and villages will
take the place Of large and sparsely set
tied plantations. Then the children can go
10 school their elders will have church
privileges and the young and old will see
more Of each other in recreation and inn
provement societies.
Farming is obliged to be and will con-
tinue to be the greatest industry in this
world. Only the soil OF the earth will
bring forth the meat and bread that the
nations Of the world must have for sub
sistence.
Let nobody feel inclined TO look down
upon agriculture as a profession. 1t was
blessed of God and will continue to bless
mankind.

Mrs. Irene Ashby Macfadyen. who has
been in the south for the purpose of en-
listing public interest in child labor leg
islation, is in the city on her way to New
York, whence she sails shortly for South
Africa, via England.
She was interviewed on the sub
ject in which she has taken so great
an interest. She first became known in
the south last year as Miss Irene Ashby.
Since October, 1901, when she returned
from Europe on her wedding trip, she has
been busily engaged in working for the
movement under the auspices of the Cen
trail Committee of Alabama and Georgia,

and Judge Henry B. Tompkins

post in December, and she is on her way
to rejoin him.

pass either the Georgia or South Carolina
legislatures this winter. In the latter
state its failure by three votes was so
close as to be a promise for the future.
''I feel she continued, now that the
matter has been taken up by such men
as compose the Central Committee of
Georgia and South Carolina that am no
longer needed.
II had a talk with Judge Thomas G.
Jones, of Montgomery, two days ago, and
he assured me that public sentiment In
that state is greatly in favor of the legal
protection of children from the greed Of
parents and the corporations, and he be-
lieved the bill would pass the next legisla-
ture.
REV. c. B. Wilmer, of this city, tells
me that the committee is preparing for
an active campaign, and he asked me to
leave him ali the facts that have come TO
my knowledge. The farmers clubs
throughout the state agree to cooperate
with the Central Committee, and 1t is GER
tain that organized labor will do the
same.

this liberal donation is the wonderful
harmonizer of the nineteen ages and
more coming who are now writing home
such good news and glad tidings OF the

Now, is the money arising from these
two acts being strictly applied to the pur-
pose and intent of the law? If so, the eff
forts of "Uncle Sam to educate his sons

President White reported sixteen stu
dents studying agriculture. In President

can read the Land Scrip act. the Morrill,

once that these funds have been misap-

wisdom saw the necessity for educating
