ago he began the work of raising
funds to rebound this institution. He
called on D. l. MacIntyre, of Atlanta,
and told him he wanted him to give
81, 900 to build Oglethorpe University
here
Il never gave a thousand dollars to
an educational institution in my life,
Mr.. MacIntyre replied.
Neither have T." said DR.. ia
cobs, but l am not going to ask any
man to do anything | won't do. am
going to head the list for that
amount"
All of Dixie Responds.
Mr.. MacIntyre subscribed his thou
sand, and DR.. Jacobs went to work.
Since that time he has told the story
of Oglethorpe from 43 platforms all
the way from Virginia to Texas, and
in every instance from one to six men
subscribed $1,000 each.
Dr. William Owens, representing
the Silver Lake Park Company, told
of the hard work DR.. Jacobs had in
persuading this company that the
university could be established here,
but he finally did it, and this com
pany gave the university for its cam
pus a 60-acre tract, 20 acres of which
was given personally by {. II. Ash
versity the perpetual use of Silver
Lake.
1--WE didn't believe it could be done, "
said Dr. Owens, but now we are as
sured of 1t and it is my belief that
there Is not a man in Atlanta who
will not subscribe in some way to
the extent of his ability to put this
institution here"

Estates had subscribed $4,000 to the

Mr.. Watkins stated that 200 men,
| all members of the Presbyterian
| Church and each of whom win give
\ the institution 81 900, will be its trus-
| tees. These men are located through
out the South from Virginia to Tex
as, while one Of them lives in Con-
necticut. The institution, he said
would under this plan have all the
benefits OF church control and none
| of the disadvantages.
'1f you gentlemen decide to under

to subscribe $1,000 personally said

Mr. Grant said he was not thor

There are loo men throughout the
South, from North Carolina. to Texas,
each of whom has given $1,000; in
all of these States there Is not a
church which has been appealed to
but has subscribed literally for the
refounding OF Oglethorpe, and prac-
tically every one of them Will place
at least one man on the board or
trustees.
S. NJ. Inman, of Atlanta, has sub
scribed $4,000 upon the following
terms: $1,000 Internationally; $4,000
more upon the raising of $250,0Ob,

REINTR0DucED TARIFF BILL
Have Decided That The Republicans

Washington.-Democ forces In
charge of tariff revision in the Senate
slightly yielded to the demands for
hearings upon tariff schedules. In adj
dition to the permission given all in
terested parties to file statements with
the Finance Committee, Senator Sim
mons conceded to a group of Western
Senators the right to appear and state
their arguments against the free wool
and free sugar provisions that have
been agreed to by the Democrats OF
the House.
A full meeting of the Senate Finance
Committee is to be held. Republican
Senators will then renew their demand
that general open hearings be given.
The attitude of the majority of the
Democratic members of the commit
tee is against this, however. They
claim that such a course would delay
tariff revision; and that no arguments
would be brought forth that have not
already appeared, in the hearings be-
fore the House Committee, or in the
briefs filed with the Senate Commit
tee.
The Underwood tariff bill, as finally
approved and revised by the caucus
of House Democrats, was reintroduc-
ed in the House by Representative
Underwood and referred back to the
Ways and Means Committee. 1t will
reappear with a favorable report
from the Democrats on the committee
and with a dissenting report from the
Republican members criticising its
rates and the method of revision fol-
lowed by the Democrats.
The Senate Democratic leaders
have given up hope of having the bill
brought into the Senate in the form
of separate schedules.

FREIGHT RATE COMMISSION AND
GOVERNOR CRAIG EXPRESS
DiSPLEASURE.
MADE BUT LITTLE REDUCTION
Would Amount to But Five Per Cent.
Perhaps, Where Effective. - Will
Hold Another Meeting on April 20,
at Raleigh.

Raleigh.-A proposal on the part of
the officials Of the railroads to give
the North Carolina shippers a SEIZED
ule of freight rate reductions on ac-
count of alleged Virginia city discrim-
nations that is estimated to mean
about five per cent reduction, the re-
fusal of the legislative commission to
consider this proposition as at all in
compliance with the letter or the spir-
it of the suggestions made by the rail-
road official at the last conference
while the legislature was in session,
the submission of a counter proposal
by the legislative commission, stipu-
lating a basis of adjustment making
about Is per cent reduction and the
granting of the railroad officials at
their request until April 20 to make
formal answer to this, were the fea-
lures of the railroad rate conference
several days ago.
In asking until April 20 to make
final answer, J. Norment Powell, for
the railroad officials, stated that If
pressed for final answer, the railroad
officials would feel obliged to- decline
10 consider the terms. He stated that
the present judgment of the railroad
officials is that the basis named by
the commission would revolutionize
rates in North Carolina and Southern
States and cause so great dimlnu-
ton of revenues as to prove dlsas-
rrous. Therefore, they asked until
April 20 to investigate. Adjournment
was taken until then.
The tension had been high, as the
negotiations advanced with executive
sessions of the commission and rail-
road officials as each received from
the other the alternate proposals.
