TRINITY COLLEGE
 WILL BE REBUILT
THE LOCATION HAS BEEN MOVED FROM THE HEART OF TOWN TO THE NEGRO SECTloN-NEGRoE WILL TEACH SCHOOL.

Athens, May 25.-(Special.) )-That Trim ity college, the negro college which was burned here in March, is to be rebuilt in the west part of town in what is known as Village View, and moved from oppo- site the passenger station and out of the heart of the city. is very pleasing bit of information to the people of this com munity as well as to the people who come and go.
 Forty years ago the promoters of this institution bought at very low price an old building and a very handsome piece of real estate situated half a block from the court house, and right in the heart of the town. and established a negro col lege which has all these years been taught and managed by white women sent here from the north who lived with and associated entirely with the negroes of the town, worshiping at their church, which was situated on the property and under the ministration of a colored di- vine.
 A number of years ago a very imposing and splendid school building with dormi- tory in connection. was erected, also brick chapel. The fire destroyed the school building and there was a disposi- tion to prevent the rebuilding at the old site. The managers from New York came and looked over the ground and decided that 1t was ill-advised to rebuild there, and have bought a very handsome site out on Fort Hill, and will within the next few weeks begin the erection of Trinity college on a larger and more im- posing scale in the midst of the colored people.
 It is also understood that hereafter the school will be under the management

Canal Lock Displaced.
1 the Technical World Magazine.

From the Technical World Magazine.
 The lock on canal is usually the most expensive part of the construction re- quiring, as 1t does, deep and heavy foun- dations protecting side walls and con stant supervision and inspection to guard against leaks after it has been opened The use of the inclined plane Is old and has been widely used both in this country and abroad with success and sat isfaction. The advantages of the inclined plane are that heights may be overcome that would be impractieabIe with single locks so that the whole drop may be constructed at a single point.
 A fine example of this has recently been installed at Foxton on the Grand Junction canal in Leicestershire, England, where a single incline is made to take the place of twelve locks. The other advantages are that boats may be raised and lowered by an expenditure of only about ten per cent of the water required for locks, and that there is a great saving insffne of operation. In this instance a boat may be put from one level to the next in fifteen minutes while one and a quarter hours would be required with

The government of Japan and rich Americans have spent a small fortune in the last two weeks to show that there was no hard feelings between the two countries. After the trouble in San Fran cisco over the school question, Washing ton and Tokio put their heads together to devise some plan by which a demonstra- ton could be given to the world that there was fin reality no interruption of the cordial relations of the two peoples as a whole. The Jamestown exposition furnished the opportunity, and the plans for entertaining the Japanese were made secretly months ago. The Mikado did his part by selecting as his envoys war heroes who would be sure of an enthus- iastic popular reception.
 The real purpose Of the visit of the Japanese was not known until Gen. Baron Kuroki gave his farewell feast, at which was launched the Japan society of New York for the purpose of promoting haI- monious relations between Japanese and Americans Incidentally the visit of the hero from the east served to preserve the tradition that great soldiers and great sailors are seldom great speech makers. At the reception given by America to Kurold, Admiral Dewey delivered himself of seventy-one words, and when it came the distinguished guests turn to speak he mustered sixty-one words.

New York has received another setback In it's fight for 80-cent gas A year or more ago the state legislature passed a bill reducing the price of gas. The gas trust took the fight to the federal courts,
 and federal judge straightway issued an order restraining the people of New York from enforcing their own laws against
 one of their own creatures, and the whole issue, both of law and of fact, was then referred to a master in chancery. After long delays the referee sustained the cor poratlon, holding that in addition to it's right to earn reasonable dividends on the original investment and on the present value of its physical property, it had also the right to earn dividends on the mar ket value of the franchises which the peo- pie gave it to enable 1t to perform a pub lie service Or to put 1t in another form, after the people have created a monopoly

locks, and three men are able to do the work.
 There are two basins at the incline, one at the top and the other at the bottom, where every facility Is provided for pass ing the boats from one level to the other, and these are twenty-five feet apart.
 The cars or cradles are run upon the rails, one of which Is going up while the other Is going down, the connection between them being made with wire ca- bles. The machinery driving the cables and the drums over which they pass are set upon solid masonry at the head of the incline. The cradles are really large tanks into which the boats are hoated and as both are filled the weight of one balances that of the other with result that a minimum amount of power Is required to effect the movement. Boats of ffty-three tons can be accom- moderated and these can be handled at the rate of from fourteen to sixteen an hour.

highly creditable showing chat has
been made BY the College without
adequate room or equipment, the
growth Of the school having stead
lily outstripped the accommoda-
tons. We feel sure that even with
these improvements, this condition
will mark the onward progress OF
the institution, and two years
hence will find the attendance in
creased until more buildings and
facilities will be needed. The
federal government has recognized
this law of development by increas-
ing this year the funds for the Col
lege and the experiment station,
and providing for a graduated an
nual increase until a specified sum
is reached.
Gov. Campbell also deserves
commentator for his breadth of
view i'll considering the needs of the
institution and its great worth to
the state.

APPROPRIATION FOR A. AND
NJ. COLLEGE.

The friends of the A. and Nj.
College throughout the state are
much gratifed that the governor
has affixed his signature to the
appropriation bill without eliminat-
ing any OF the items for improve
ments at the A. and NJ. College.
The total appropriation for two
years foots up $346,47o.oo, and
provides for a new engineering
building to cost $4,000; a new
dormitory to cost $4,000; addi-
tons to the live stock herds; addi-
tional cottages aad repairs, exten-
sion OF the sewerage system and
some other minor buildings. The
amendment to the feed control law
also makes provision for the erec'
ton of feed control building out
of the receipts from the operation
of the law in excess of running ex-
penses.
All these improvements will add
very materially to the scope and
efficiency OF the College in all its
branches, and the state will soon
feel the results in the number OF
well equipped young men who leave
the institution annually. As the
Eagle has before taken occasion to
remark, the work of Representa-
tive Davis in connection with this
appropriation has been most sue
cessful and commendable, and the
College has had the loyal support
of many warm friends OF the insti-
tuition in and out OF the legislature.
Most potent OF all perhaps, in bring
ing about the result has been the
manifest and long neglected needs
of the College, together with the
faithfulness OF the stewardship of
President Harrington aud the other
authorities of the College, and the
