Adapts Its Teaching to the Particular
Needs of The Individual Students.
One feature of the curriculum at
Mercer University which should be es-
pecially attractive to students is the
fact that they may choose such courses
as are found to be most profitable
and attractive to their individual re-
quirementS and tastes. Study here is
almost wholly elective, giving only
one degree-the A. B. degree-in the
college of Art and Sciences. Scho-
lastic standards are high and teaching
thorough, but the prime object of all
discipline is to develop the highest
type of christian manhood. Our aim
is the building OF character, and our
traditions and environment contrib
ute greatly to this aim. Our equip
ment consists of twenty professors,
eleven buildings, twenty thousand
volumes and one hundred current
periodicals: a library and reading
room, we'll equipped chemical, physi-
cal, biological and pharmaceutical
Laboratories; fine gymnasium, with
hot and cold baths: an athletic field,

Head of the Senate.
There is not likely to be so much
+ronbIe about it when it comes to the
nresidency of the Senate. There are
,ome six or seven candidates in the
roco and at least four of them are
,oid to have been supporters of Mr..
Smith. This means they were also
srpporters of his platform. Of course
thew are more so now than ever, so
there will be very little difficulty in
Getting a strong advocate of the new
Governors platform at the head OF
tho Senate. And those most promi-
rpnt in the public eye now in this con-
npction are Fielder, Of Bib, and How
ard of Baldwin. Both were earnest
s1pporters of Mr. Smith and both are
candidates for the Senate presidency.
There are said to be two or three 9th

be disappointed
1t will be recalled that in his adj
dress accepting the nomination before
the Macon convention Mr. Smith
stated that it was necessary for the
reform forces to have the president
Of the Senate and Speaker of the
House, and he has intimated pretty
strongly that this just must be-
brought about no matter whose toes

Not so, say those who Law claim to

that Speaker Slaton's pledges will not

stand no show whatever for re-eloc-

the Thracian of the Twelve.
Mars was not a favorite among the
classic Greeks, nor is his name month
a great favorite among the Gothic
moderns. The god of war was a bar
barian intruder in the Olympian circle.
There was something Thracian, and by
that token crude and unworthy in bis
manner He was more of blusterer
than a fighter, and Homer narrates
with evident relish how Pallas Athene
tumbled him over in combat, his vast
bulk covering several acres. OF wild
aspect, untutored ways and Indifferent
wits, he had little to recommend him
but his immoral origin.
Such also is the month that has taken
the war gods name. One poet notes
its ugly looks and threats" "A half
wild creature cast from natures lap"
another calls it. The proverb mad as
a March hare" says the same thing
with less reticence. English people
call the month March Manyweath,
ers'' and thereby intimate their doubt
of its capacity for sustained purpose,
It is the Thracian of the twelve, as
September is the Tyrian. There is
something clustering and barren in It's
ASPECT, as there is in what people cali
"a good war" The winds that blow
from one end of it to the other are not
"the winds of God" A peck of March
dust may be worth a kings ransom, as
a wise saw has it, but from the aver
age human it gets less grateful guer'

The fox ran over to billy country toward Sy-
ossett, when he took long circuit about Kroy
Hill and led off toward Woodbury., where he was
held. The scent lay well. and the pack was
seldom at fault. The going was however, heavy
and sticky, and Of the hunters were wei
