Mr. Brown Is Right.

Mr. Brown ID Night
The Savannah Press takes issue with the Sta'e-
ment of Hon. Pope Brown that the legislature
raodo . mistake in appropriating 100000 for ag-
,;o,,l+,,ol ,,,rnoses At the state university, and
Io,s that Mr. Common of Barlow introduced the
hin after consulting with the farmers OF Geor-
oia IF orr contemporary will investigate little
II will find that there demand from the farmers
for the establishment of the socaed agricultural COL
lepe at Athens 1t will also find that the real FARMERS
are almost unanimously opposed to It, lime VIII sho"
that Mr. Brown is right in his prediction that an agr-
cultural college can grow up IN the atmosphere
of classical institution and this paper VIII be very
much surprised if the one for which such large sum
was recently voted by generous lawmakers ever
amounts to bobbee so far any real benefit 1t VIII
he TO that large class of people who till the SOIL
Hon. J. J. Flint of Spading led able and gallant
fight against this particular appropriation and for the
establishment of real agricuturalschool at some cen
trail point in the state.
THE reduced rate of taxation decided upon by the
governor and controller is another gratifying
evidence of the substantial progress and prosperity OF
the state The fact that state like Georgia, IN the
face of the liberal appropriations that were MADE oy
the last general assembly, reduce it's tax rate IS
another note in the chorus of prosperity which is being
sounded throughout this great commonwealth
THE Albany Herald has notion that the bill which
was passed by the legislature providing for district
agricultural colleges merely bait to get that
500 900 appropriation for Athens. That's mighty
near it. 1t was a shrewd move the part OF those
eminent politicians who always on hand to prize
open the treasury for the benefit of the university
AFTER strenuous fight for existence the Cordele
News has gone the way of most other small dallles
and is in the hands OF the sheriff There IS no pros
pect for a revival OF the enterprise. The fate OF the
Daily News only confirms the fact that the average
small city cannot support little daily paper, to say
nothing of two papers.
JUDGE A. L. MILLER of Macon presided over the state
convention in that city yesterday, and will be the
chairman of the new democratic executive com
mittee. Judge Miller is a distinguished Georgian
and is all right as the head of the democratic party in
Georgia

Queer thing is politics.
THE Atlanta Journal is again calling on the members
of the railroad commission to resign But your uncle
lobe and Joe and Warner are sitting steady in the
boat and show no signs of disposition to accom-
mOdate the organ.
EDITOR JESSE MERCER is hot chase for that rail
road commissionershp, and he gets it there will be
something doing in that Office He will skin Joe Brown
block in letting the public know he is there. Here S
| luck to him.
AMER1cUs has won greater fame than if Mr.. Berner
and Mrs Myrick had met in joint debate. Two law
yers of that city will enter the ministry, and one of
them will actually resign office to do so.
The Shellnan Sun is kind enough to say: Editor
Rainey is back home After looking over this week s
News we don't see how that paper could spare him
even for one week in the year.
THE Macon News thinks Mr.. Bryan was greatly
surprised when he returned home and beheld some of
those fellows on the band-wagOn.
u HARD TO KEEP UP WITH
From Shellman
1t is kinder hard work for Cuthbert people to keep
up with the grading gang of the Georgia Pine. This
week they are reported to have begun work at Benev
Iolence to 90 northward point about Rchand,
and from there to some point mentioned before.
A suspicious looking caravan passed through Shell
man Thursday going sOuth-two one-horse covered
wagons with living supplies children and dogs.
Didn It notice any grading tools, however.
