SOUTH GEORGIA'S NEW COLLEGE

A vital stimulus should be given to
education in South Georgia as the re-
suit of the establishment at Valdostd
recently of the South Georgia STATE
Normal College, This brings to South
Georgia directly the opportunity ana
facilities for the education of its teach
ers which has so long been neglected
as regards the teachers of this section.
Of course, it has always been true
that the teachers of all sections of the
state have had access to the State
Normal College at Athens, but Athens
is pretty distant for many teachers o.
the state, especially those living in
the extreme southern parts of the
state. Not only will these teachers
and prospective teachers be benefited
by the new school, but it will make
the advantages of a normal school ed
uCation much more convenient for
many teachers residing near the center
of the state as well as those residing
south of line dividing the state into
northern and southern sections.
South Georgia has again secured
merited recognition in gaining this
school This part of the state shouli
have a school of this kind. 1t is far
better to have two good normal schools
in a state than to have a greater num-
Der of schools, say four or six as is
true in some states The fewer the
schools, that is, If there is as many as
! two, the better facilities can be given.
In the case of too many schools, the
funds for their maintenance is scatter
ed over so many expense accounts that
no school of the number is adequately
financed. Nor is convenience really
bettered if there are more than two
well located schools.

SOUTH GEORGES WONDERFUL
PROGRESS

No more significant example OF the up
building of a section of a state is man
Tested anywhere than the wonderful
progress that has marked South Geor-
gia during the past year. If the &C
tual statistics of this development
could be obtained, they would be al
most incredible.
It should be the pride Of every resi-
dent of this section of the state to
not with admiration that South Geor-
gia is fast becoming emancipated from
the lethargy and Misrepresentation to
which it has so long been subjected n
certain quarters. It is like the awaken
ing OF a young giant to undreamed Of
power
This is but the dawning of the glor-
tous day that is opening for South
Georgia, as the great era of develop
ment in this part of the state is still
in its infancy Every year that passes
viii add another record of phenom-
email growth to that of the year that
went before
There is nothing that can stay the
march of progress here. Endowed by
nature with every gift of sunshine.
genial climate and richly productive
soils, South Georgia stands forth as a
section that awaits with eagerness the
hand Of the laborer who may bring
forth harvests that will delight his
body and soul The entire state is
looking on with wonder as this section
all others in it's growth and
Widespread development.
The New Year is to be one of great
er marvel in this particular. More
industries, more farms,
more useful enterprises of every kind
will be utilized this year than ever u
make still more resplendent South
Georgias enyiable records of progress.
And with this emancipation CONNER
cially and industrially will come the
evolution of the political strength
which this section should WELD in the
public affairs OF the state. These things
must come just as surely as South
Georgia is great now and growing still
greater.

SHIPS COLLIDED
z PASSENGERS
ARE DROWNED
.RAMMED BY BRITISH TRAMP
Story Of Suffering Told by
Survivors

Norfolk, Va, Jan. flight sur
yivors of the steamer Julia LuckeH-
back, rammed and sank in Chesapeake
bay early yesterday by the British
tramp steamer, Indrakuala, arrived
here today and told how twenty OF
their number had gone down without
a chance for life.
The fortunate eight, after a six
hours battle with terrific gale,
were taken from the rigging of their
sunken ship by the Danish steamer
Penna, and brought here.
The Luckenback, from Port Tampa
to Baltimore, was about to anchor off
the Tangier Gas Buoy at the mouth
of the Potomac early ye tsydearwh, en
the Indrakuala caught her and cit
her practically in two She went down
Immediately and only the men on
deck had a chance for life. The In
drakuala badly damaged and in dan
ger of sinking, drew off and beached
to save herself Captain Gilbert, of the
Luckenbach, and his wife were among
the lost.
The survivors had scarcely reached
the topmost part of the rigging of the
submerged hulk, when the sweeping
gale of yesterday passed over them,
and they fought for hours for life,
while some of their number, exhaust
ed, dropped off, one by one, to death.
With a wind blowing at cyclonic We
locity and waves beating against them
the hardest ones held fast until their
clothes were torn to shreds and they
were on the verge of exhaustion. Chief
Engineer Christ Knudson was one Of
those in the rigging He endured the
gale until his hands were bleeding
from gripping the ropes. He became
exhausted, let go and went down be-
fore assistance came.
The Danish steamer Penna, which
came to their assistance, could not
reach them at first because of such
heavy seas. After many unsuccessful
attempts, life lines were run to the
struggling men, and in two hours they
were all taken off, one at a time. When
| taken on board the Penna, some were
unconscious, and had to be given first
aid treatment.
