at probably $75O,OOO, and the Columbia
institution, valued at $50O,000, should
unite and come to Atlanta, promising
that the Presbyterians of this city and
state should raise another half million
dollars, thus starting a great institu-
ton worth nearly $2,000,00O.
The synods of Georgia, Florida and
South Carolina, controlling the Colum-
bia university, endorsed the proposal,
but a stumbling block was met with
when the suggestion was made to the
synods controlling the Southwestern
Presbyterian University. The synod of
Tennessee in particular is opposed to
the removal of the university from
Clarksville, though the attitude of the
synods of Louisiana, Alabama and
Mississippi is believed to be less hostile
to the scheme.
The present conference is not de-
cisive in character, but is intended
merely to consider the feasibility of the
plan. and then the ways and means. II
the conference decides that the scheme
is feasible and practical and that no
moral or legal obstacles are in the way,
then the respective synods will be
asked to ratify the plan. This means
that the fight will be prolonged and
that there will be further heated agita-
ton among Southern Presbyterians be-
fore a final settlement is reached.

Mr.. Miller was popular and favorably
known here having conducted the
Tampa Cigar store in the Thiessen
building for the past year and was
also agent for the Pacific Express
company.
Financial reverses, ii is said, was the
cause of the suicide, and friends state
that Miller had suffered considerable
worriment over his losses and failures
to secure funds with which to carry on
his business. The climax came, when
last night Auditor Gentsch of the Pa
cifc Express company, held a long
conversation with Mr.. Miller at his
home. 1t is alleged that Miller was
short in his accounts with the express
company, but to what extent it is moi

"The people on the prairies and on

favor of the building of our road said
the colonel. They can see that this is
their only hope. They have abandoned
all expectation of any other relief from
the terrible handicap which rests upon
them in the way of the expense of
hauling their produce to the railroad or
to the neighboring towns. The demand
for this road can no longer be neglect

upon paper, 1 am sure the showing will
be an ample inducement for our east

This proposition will benefit every

the reward for his labor which will be
in proportion to the special advantages
which nature has bestowed upon this
unusually fertile and productive soil.

Miller lying in bed with blood rushing
