AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
TO secure ARMY OFFICER
Most Excellent Military Train
ing to be Given

When the fall term opens it is The
hope of the management of the Agri-
cultural College that a retired com
missioned army officer will be detail
ed for duty at the school A request
for such an officer has already been
made through President Claude C.
Smith, of the National Guards Asso-
citation of Georgia.
If the officer asked is secured, the
military instruction to be had at the
Agricultural College will be second %
that of no school in Georgia and un-
surpassed in the South The students
at the college win receive direct and
careful instruction at the hands IF
the army officer, if he is secured, so
that the rank of the school in a mill
tary way will be signally raised.
In addition to his duties as military
instructor the army officer would as
sist in the department Of mathemat-
les, thus materially Strengthening
this branch of college work also. On
account of the fact that so much goot
would be accomplished by the addi.
ton of this member to the faculty
lit is sincerely hoped by Superinten-
dent Collum and every friend of the
institution that the officer will be Sc
cured at an early date. The college
is eligible for receiving the services
of such an officer, and there is every
reason to believe that the appoint
ment will be made.
The Third District Agricultural Col
lege was the first OF the agricultural
schools to adopt the military featur,
and to inaugurate military discipline
If the army officer is secured, the col
lege viii score another distinct adj
vance II its course Of progressive ant

Briefly this tells the story of the del

council at their meeting Monday night,
and the subsequent meeting yester-
day morning, which was necessary 20
finish the work of awarding the city
contracts for paving and sewerage
Improvements.
The contract for paving improve
ments was awarded to the Creosoted
Wood Block Paving Company over
five other competitors in that field.
embracing the Southern Asphalt and
Construction Company, sheet asphalt;
Southern Paving and Construction
Company, sheet asphalt; Southern

pany asphaltic concrete.
There was also spirited bidding for
the sewerage contract, which was
awarded to P J. Curran, of Knox
vile, over H. S. Bosler, S. G. Mish-
Ter Guild & Company, Sullivan, Long

Patterson & Company. The successful
bid was considerably lower than that
of the next competitor, H. S. Bosler,
whose bid was s33, 1874
The close range shown by the high
est and lowest bids made on both the
paving and sewerage contracts serves
to show more clearly than words the
keen competition that existed among
the firms that desired to secure these
contracts. City Hlgineer Ansley is
we'll pleased at the outcome of the
matter and believes that the city has
secured exceptionally favorable con-
tracts in each case 1t was through
the courtesy of Mr.. Ansley and Mr.. B.
H. Klyce, who has so ably assisted the
city eng;Aeer for several months past.
that The Times Recorder secured the
authentic figures on the paving con-
tracts that are presented herewith to-
day.
The city is fully protected in the
carrying out of the contracts salts
factorily by the firms which secured
them, as a forfeit of $1,000 has been
placed to guarantee the sewerage con-
tract and forfeit of $4,000 to Sc
cure the paving contract.

Whitewash Brush In Spain.

In Spain, where the ruins of Moorish
towers are seen upon the crests of
many hills as the express train crawls
along at the rate Of fifteen or twenty
miles an hour. the evidences of surviv-
ing Moorish influence upon the people
and customs Of Andalusia make an in
teresting study. In the city Of Ronda
It is plain that the ideas of home build
ing which the Arabs brought into the
1berian peninsula remain vital today.
The whitewash brush is the great lev
eler Of distinction between the rich
and the poor in Spain. The exteriors
of homes-great manor houses upon
the haciendas, huts Of mountaineers
clinging to the sides Of the almost
perpendicular hills. handsome homes
Of rich merchants in the cities and
humble tenements-ar nearly all of

mined In blue or brown or pink. but

James Russell Lowell when ambas-

Why do some people in China and
some parts Of India die off like flies
when cholera or some other scourge
comes? The answer, In one word, is
dirt. The people live in filthy homes
with filthy surroundings. They know
nothing Of the laws of santa ton. They
permit litter and garbage to lie around
the premises. Thousands of them live
like pigs in pens, When pestilence
stalks abroad they are it's easy victims
In towns where the people are wise
enough to keep their streets and their
private premises clean such plaques
find comparatively few easy marks.
Happily. most people in America are
not to be compared with the ignorant
Chinese and the low class Hindus In
the matter of cleanliness, and yet there
are some Americans who violate the
laws of sanitation constantly. 1t ia
to show this sort Of citizens the error
of their way that the nation wide
campaign for cleanliness is being
waged. Cleanliness of person and
premises is preventive of disease.
In most towns the authorities keep the
streets and other public places measur-
ably clean. and in some towns there
are local laws requiring people to
make their back yards presentable,
but mans home is his castle. even
though it be but howell. and it is up

should be carted away or burned and
not left around the house until it be-
gins to smell to high heaven" Neg
lected garbage not only Is peril to
the family in whose house It Is found,
but it is both peril and a nuisance to
the neighbours # &
1t Is incumbent upon every citizen
to do his part toward keeping the
premises clean. Men, women and
children are included in this duty. Co
operation and constant watchfulness
are necessary If town is to be kept
clean and present neat and inviting

year the danger from dirt is greatest.
The good old summer time Is pre-
eminently the time for cleaning up

good advice. which is particularly apt

BLAMING US FOR WHAT OTHERS DID.

The current issue of the Coleraine
Weekly Optic has this to say, ed
itorially:
'"The Bemidji Pioneer is ''dead
agin" Sheriff A.. B. Hazen and wants
Gov. Eberhart to fire him bodily.
Does that sheet remember that with
in the past eleven years that cit
self" supported men who robbed
Beltrami county good and plenty?
that some of them left for the south
and others for the west and no
means were taken to bring them to
justice, not even through the col
umns of that paper? that bunch
of county commissioners whom it
supported were fired out of office
only to be reelected and it support
ed them? Several of those old Of
tenders are under the sod and others
ought to be-in Saltwater. AL.
Hazen was a resident of that town
in those days but didn't "belong to
the gang" If that paper proposes
to climb on the throne of reform
alton it ought to change its name.
Don't mob Hazen. Give him fair
and honorable trial.
We must remind the Optic that
the Pioneer of yesterday is not the
Pioneer of today. The Optic must
know that the editorial policy of
five or six years ago, or even later,
is not the same, for the very good
reason that the management of the
paper has changed. The Optic is
right when it suspects that we are
dead agin" Hazen, but we should be
dead agin" any other county Of
ficial, whom we felt as sure as we
do in this case were undesirable.
And, at least, believe us, dear Optic
when we say that nothing under
the sun would give us greater pleas
ure than to see Sheriff Hazen have
"a fair and honorable trial.
