Washington college.


Pending the decision of the supreme
court, and ever since the decree of the
chancellor went down, the two schools
have been operated separately, Chan
cellor Haynes having designated a
committee to have charge of the affairs
of Washington college.
1t is understood that the decision in
favor of a divorce is welcomed by
most of those directly concerned on
both sides as being the most practical
solution of the troubles growing out of
the attempted union.
Harr & Burrow were counsel for the
complainants, and conceived the idea
of attacking the validity of the union
upon the ground that the board of
trustees of the Washington school had
no power beyond those granted them
by the territory south of the Ohio rlv-
er.
The defendants were represented by
Epps & Young, of Jonesboro, and
Shoun & Susong, of GreenviIle, and
+. J. Baxter of Johnson City.
Mrs. Nettie Mccormick, widow OF
the reaper king, has contributed many
thousands of dollars to these schools
in recent years. Most of her gifts
have been confined to Tusculum col
lege, and she has been giving annually
S2, 900 to the current expenses of the
school. She gave only year or so
ago 5000 to the endowment fund.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1912-12-05

the supreme court divides it equally
between the two schools. The costs
of the cause are also divided between
the two institutions.
By the terms of the decree, Wash
ington college will receive about S63,
600 :of the endowment Of 100000,
while the remainder will 60 to Tus-
culum college. Funds secured since
the beginning of the attempted union
will go to which ever school the dom
ors may bave designated. The Car
negie fund of S21, 600 for building pur-
poses is divided equally between the
two schools, just as it had previously
been expended, one building having
been erected at each place out of this
fund.
The divorce is granted upon two
grounds. The first of these is that un-
der the original charter, secured from
the territory south of the Ohio river,
the power to consolidate had not been
granted to the trustees of Washington
college, and having no charter under
the laws of Tennessee the trustees
were powerless to enter into such
union except by the unanimous vote
of the board.
The school point is that upon the
merits of the cause, the consolidation
could have been made legal and bind
ing onlv by vote of two-thirds of the
board of trustees, and the proof showed
that vote by that majority was not
secured.
s. This suit has been of general interest
among Presbyterians and others in
the country because of the long and
splendid history of the two schools.
Many of the prominent men of the
nation in aniebellum days, and later,
were graduated from these schools,
and the records of Washington college
show, according to statement pre-
pared by the late DR.. j. w. G. Will !
oughby who was at the head of that
for several years, that at
one time there were in the two bran
ches of the national congress twenty
five men who were graduated from |

FACILITIES TO
BE INCREASED.

Brunswick, Ga, Dec. 2.-The facili-
ties of the port of Brunswick for han
ding import cargoes of fertilizer mate
rial, salt, cement and heavy commod-
/ tiles will be greatly increased by the
construction of a large storage ware
house which the Southern railway is
preparing to erect on property adjoining
its Turtle river docks and warehouses.
This warehouse will have the most
modern appliances for handling bulk
freight to and from vessels and cars
and will be built for the express pur.
pose of providing storage room for
commodities which are often held at
ports for long periods. 1t will serve to
attract vessels to Brunswick and add
to the importance of this city as point
for distribution to the interior, thus
proving a benefit not only TO Bruins.
wick but as we'll to interior points
reached by rail. AS vessels which DIS
charge their lading here will naturally
prefer to secure return cargoes out of
this port, Brunswick's export trade is
expected to be increased also as the re-
suit of this addition to it's port facili-
ties by the Southern railway.
The new warehouse will be 800 feet
long and 100 feet wide and will have
reinforced concrete walls, concrete
floor and tireproof roof. The mechan-
ism for handling freight from vessels
into the warehouse will consist of tW O !
movable hoisting towers and an auto
matte railway. Cars, loaded from the J
buckets of the hosting towers, will be
automatically weighed and by means
of tipple their contents will be me-
dumped into the desired
bin. The use of this machinery will |
result in a great saving of labor and
make possible the transfer of cargoes
from vessel to warehouse with the
greatest dispatch and efficiency.
According to announcement by Vice
President and General Manager f. H.
Coapman, of the Southern railway,
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1912-12-05

masters were placed under the civil
service, became known today when
Representative Hull, of Tennessee,
said the democrats in congress who
are already in Washington have con.
ferred informally on the subject, and
that there was an overwhelming sentI-
ment in favor of having the order re-
voked.
Representative Hull said that Presi-
dent-elect Wilson, under The civil ser
vice law, would have the power to re-.
woke President Taft's order. He cited
as precedent President Harrison s
suspension of an order of President
Cleveland, issued Jan. IA, 1889, where
by the employees in the railway mail
service were placed under the civil ser
vice law. He.said President Harrison.
within week after his Inauguration,
suspended the order.
"Coming at the time and under the
circumstances that it did," said Mr..
Hull, "this order of the president is
patiently stepped in the deepest politi-
cal dye and constitutes within itself a
gross violation of the letter, the spirit
and the whole purpose of the civil SER
vice law, because it places this inn
mense horde of republicans, to the ex-
clusion of democrats-permanently in
office without examination of test as
to merit or TO efficiency. If carried
out, this order will make honest civil
service farce and prove the greatest
setback to its administration, exten-
sion and progress within a generation
/ have heard of no demand for this
recent order of President Taft save
from the $4,000 republican postmast-
ers in questions. OF the more than
400, 900 positions in the government
serv ice, this partisan order of the
presidents only leaves about 900 to
be filled by the new administration
outside of the civil service"

Bristol, Tenn, Nov. 80,-The decis-
ion Of the supreme court in the cause
of the state of Tennessee on relation of
DR.. A. s. N. Dobson against Wash
ington and Tusculum college and
others, virtually affirms Chancellor
Hal II. Haynes upon every point
raised. An absolute divorce is grant,
ed from union which was attempt
ed four years ago, while the endow-
ment of about 100000 is divided be-
tween the two institutions in accord
ance with the amount each brought to
the illegal union. The only point on
which Chancellor Haynes decree is
modified is with reference to fund of
81, 200, given by the late Dr. Pearson,
of Chicago. The chancellor decreed
this sum TO Washington college, while

have been invited as soon as contract
has been awarded and the building
material assembled, work will be COM

rapidly as possible.
BY providing this additional facility
at Brunswick, the Southern railway is
giving practical aid in the work of
preparing for the increase of business
which the South Atlantic ports expect
with the opening of the Panama Canal.

dustries is more common than has been supposed.
 The health and safety of men in all branches of mining should be the first consideration of those in charge. If needlcssly danger Ous conditions arc being over looked, sharp attention should br called to them, and an impartial government bureau is the best agency for conducting the ncccs- sary investigations. We are glad to see that start has been made in studying the health conditions of mine workers. In this as in other matters the Bureau will have the cordial support of both operators and men, and congress may well appropriate the small amount of money necessary to make the work effective.
