The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1902-11-05

In his first message to the legisla-
ture, Governor Terrell put great stress
upon a plan already briefly outlined in
his inaugural address, which if adopt
ed, villa provide abundant instruction
in agricultural principles in Georgia
and do away with any further agita-
tiou looking to the removal of the ag-
ricultUral college supported by the
Morrill, fund from the state university
at Athens.
Governor Terrell's plan, briefly, is
to use the fund derived from the in
spection of fertilizers in the state to
establish agricultural colleges in each
gressional district, letting the
counties of the district bid for the ioca.
tion of it.
This plan has been put into opera
tidn in Ohio. Illinois and Alabama,
where it is working with success, and
Iowa is preparing to make trial OF it..
Governor Terrell spoke briefly of
this matter at times during the GAM
paign, and in his inaugural address, he
stated he thought the fertilizer inspec-
ton fund should be used for the pur-
pose of esta blishing these Institutions
in each congressional district of the
state. He is firmly convinced that the
plan is good one, having studied it's
operation in other states, and his rec
ommendation in favor of its adoption
is one of the leading features of his
message.
Some of the governors friends in
speaking of the matter say he seems to
be giving more attention to agricult-
ure than anything else, but it is not at
all unnatural for him to 90 back to
early training.
WHAT THE PLAN CONCENTRATES
Governor Terrell's idea is to estab-
lish an agricultural college in every
congressional district in the state.
The machinery for such establishment
is to be set in motion, in the event the
plan is carried out, by letting each
county bid for the site. There will be
required for each college of this kind
200 acres of land and the necessary
buildings, which many counties will
be glad TO give to secure the location
within its borders of such an institu-
ton.
The fund derived from the inspec-
tion of fertilizers in Georgia amounts
TO between So, 900 and $4,000 aud this
now goes into the general school fund.
It's use for the purpose OF establishing
these agricultural colleges, however,
will in no sense cripple the school
fund, because under the new convict
lease there is certainty of the state
getting at least s75. 600 to 500, 600 more
for the labor of the convicts, all of
which goes to the school fund, and
this will more than Offset the amount
taken from the fertilizer inspection
fund for the purpose stated.
1t is estimated that s., 600 year win
run one of these institutions in the
best shape. and for the eleven con-
gressioral districts this makes a total
of s33, COO.
Ultimately it isthe intention to have

MR. MITCHELLS STATEMENT.
After the adoption of the provisional
strike resolution to-day President Mitchell
made this statement:
"Our convention to-day unanimously
adopted the recommendations submitted by
a special committee composed of the dis
trict presidents and vice presidents and
myself The resolution recites the efforts
made by the representatives of the anthra-
cite mine workers to secure a joint confer
ence; calls attention to the repeated viola
uons of the promises conveyed in their no
tices, posted one year ago. as well as their
failure 10 carry out the verbal understand
ing reached with the representatives of the
cOal-carrying railroads last March.
The resolution also calls attention to the
wage scale, which drafted and unan-
imously adopted by the convention, the
essential features of which are: A shorter
work-day; a minimum day-wage scale; uni
form increase in wages, and the weighing
of coal wherever the physical conditions of
mining would make it practicable.
1T further explains that upon investiga-
rOnE6 annual
ingS of the anthracite mine worker is con-
siderably less than in any other important
American industry. while the number OF
fatalities and injuries in proportion TO the
number of persons employed, is greater
than in any other industry.

mine workers cannot with honor to them
