Advantage of Educating Oneself.

Newell Dwight Hills, in August
Success.
1t is unreasonable to suppose that
no one but college graduate can be
educated, in the broader meaning of
that much abused word. Ii a young
man or young woman is wholly unde-
cided as to his or her future work, q
four years college course may help
to a decision, but if one is determined
to follow q special line of work, he
can make more rapid progress outside
college, sometimes, than in one. II
for example, he has chosen literature
as a profession, he can study under
q tutor in the subjects he desires and
progress twice as fast as in college.
The courses in all our universities are
calculated for a mediocre student, who
probably gives more time to athletics
and outside matters than to study. An
ambitious young person, who is anxiou.
to do something in the world. has to
drag along with the others, however
willing he may be to forge ahead With
tutor or home study, he can push
along as rapidly as he is capable OF
doing, with no one to hold him back
fesSioE after a course of home study
without college diploma. have often
heard lawyers assert that those MEM
bers of the bar who studied in offices
We're invariably the most successful
ones in practice. They not only have
the theory of law, but also know it in
operation.
Some educators once made out a list
of a hundred great men who lived i'm
England during the half century from
1880 to 1900. They were principally
men of the first genius, like Darwin
Huxley, Tyndall, and Ruskin. They
We're greatly surprised when it was
discovered that only twenty of the
hundred had received college educa
tons. The others We're self educated
or had studied under tutors at homel
This must have been more than a co
incidence, and to my mind ii is a re-
markable commentary on the success.
OF the modern system of education

only study at night is under no handi

Building.

The location of the postoffice, a
matter which has excited much
interest in the public mind, and
which has been freely discussed
ever since it became known that
the present quarters in the Gill
mer hotel building were to be va
Gated in favor of a larger and
more centrally located building,
was finally settled last Thursday,
when Postmaster Wood received
a telegram frow Hon. j. J. How
ley, acting first assistant post
master general, saying that the
proposition of the city council
had been accepted, and that the
postoffice would, accordingly, be
located in the new city hall which
is to be erected at an early date.
AS is we'll known to all citizens
of Columbus, the city hall is GEN.
trally located, and the new build
ing which is soon to take the
place of the old one will be a
handsome and imposing struc-
ture, which will form an ideal
place of domicile for Postmaster
Wood and his assistants, and will
at the same time be convenient
for the business men of the city
and the general public on account
of its close proximity to the ex-
press office, banks and other in
which one is required |
to visit in the ordinary transac-
ton of business.
The council will, at an early |
date, take steps to commence the
erection of the new building, and |
work will be pushed rapidly for
ward until it is completed, the
plans of the structure be-
ng altered SO as to provide ele-
CANT quarters for the postoffice.

The city council held four ses-
sions last week, on Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and FRI
day nights, most of the time at
each meeting being consumed in
the equalization of the tax rolls,
which task has not yet been COM
pleted, and will be continued
throughout next week.
The council had intended to
open bids for the erection of the
new negro school house at the
meeting which was held on Fri
day night, but owing to the fact
that several contractors who were
anxious to bid had been unable to
secure the plans and specifica-
tons in time to make the required
estimates, action in the matter
was postponed until Monday
night. AS has been previously
stated in the Commercial, the
council recently decided to erect
this building on lot in the
northwestern part of the city
which they purchased for that
purpose from Mrs. M. E. Kemp,
but some of the property holders
in the neighborhood object to this
location, and will go before the
council Tuesday night and pre-
sent their reasons for asking that
the school be located elsewhere.
The contract for the construc-
ton of the new building which is
to be erected as an annex to
academy was awarded
to Mr.. j. w. Stansel. He is to
receive 81 10000 for the work,
and the building is to be COM
pleted within ninety days. The
council will NEE. again tomorrow
night, and will probably be in
session every night this week.

WEEKLY EDITION.

gay the members of the Ethiopian
race who were present did not
seem to realize the solemnity OF
he occasion, but laughed and
chatted as gaily as though they
were at a picnic. When the train
finally rolled into the station,
however, the grewsome sight
which the dozen corpses and the
many wounded negroes presented
seemed to cause them to remem-
Der the fearful accident that had
occurred, and they suddenly
ceased laughing and began
moaning and crying, it being the
custom of the negro to give vent
to his feelings, whatever they
may be.
Ever since the first news of the
wreck was flashed across the
wires, the awful disaster has been
the one topic of conversation in
Columbus, and those who went
to Berry on the relief train have
been beseiged with questions con-
cerning it. Among those who
went up were DR.. j. E. Davis,
who is the local surgeon of the
Southern here, and Hon. B. A.
Weaver and Mr.. G. II. Ayers,
who went up to do what they
could to alleviate the sufferings
of the wounded. They all per-
formed valiant work, and their
efforts were most highly appre-
ciated, both by the officials of the
road and those who were the un-
victims OF the accident.
Several prominent officials of
the Southern were in the city
Tuesday and yesterday, among
them being General Manager
]. f. Dodson, and Claim Agents
Wylie and Fulgham. The two
latter gentlemen, together with
Cash Mosby, the negro who ran
the excursion, visited, SO it is
said. many of those who were in
iured in the wreck, and effected |
settlements with them.
Many rumors were afloat Tues
lay night and yesterday concern
ng the discovery of additional
7ictims, and one report was to
he effect that the bodies of two
white mon had been recovered,
,ut these reports could not be
certified, and are doubles swith-
,ut foundation in fact.
