versity was laid with appropriate Ger
emonies and an address was dsliv-
cred by Chief Justice Joseph Henry
Lumpkin, March 81, 1897. The main
college edifice magnificent struc-
ture of the Dorlc order. was complet-
ed in July. 1870. It's facade consisted
of row of splendid Doric pillars with

the finest of any college in the Unit
ed States. on each side of the main
building were dormitorles and other
structures.

History of Oglethorpe University
Blends With Lives of Noted Men

Old Oglethorpe University has as
distinguished a place in history as
any educational institution in the
land Woodrow Wilson, whose uncle
was a professor there for ten years,
played as a boy beneath the big trees
on the campus at Milledgeville. Will
liam G. McAdoo was also reared be-
meath their shade. Joseph M. Brown,
former Governor of Georgia, was a
graduate of the last class in 1872.
Theodore Roosevelt and United States
Senator Bacon are both descended di-
rectly from its founders.
The whole history of the South,
and to some extent that of the nation
from 1886 until long after the war,
was Intimately interwoyen with that
Of this first great Southern univer-
sity.
1t is just such another Southern
and national institution as this that
Atlanta is now planning TO build
from old Oglethorpes ashes.
While most histories of Oglethorpe
begin with the year 1885, as a mat

Historians Account
The historian, Charles Edgeworth
Jones, gives the following circum-
stantial description of how the uni
verstty had its origin and was char
tered by the General Assembly of
Georgia in 1885;
This university had its origin in a
division of the interests OF the Edu-
cation Society of Georgia, at it's dis
solution. between the two manual la
bor.schols, the Midway Seminary and
the Gwinnett Institute. The trustees
OF the Midway Seminary, in the
spring of 1895, rendered 1t to the
Hopewell Presbytery, believing that
ecclesia stical supervision would give
weight and permanency TO the object,
and secure the moral and religious
influence over il which, with a strict
land reasonable discipline, would rem
der It more worthy OF support and
confidence The Presbytery accepted
the offer, and appointed committee

be given by the impeachment court.
 It was good to find in these days of the continuous knock that MT. Roster was not ready to believe all the III that has been spoken of Governor Sulzer. He warmly defended Gov. Sulzer's &C., tion in opposing the attempted domi- nation by Tammany of the office of the governor of the state In the matter of dictatlng appointees. pointing out that Governor Sulzer had n personal following and a personal reputation that was able to overcome the disad- vantage and prestige ia what in the first place forced his nomination in convention last year, ns much as the fear of Tammany hall of losing fl. they nominated a perfectly controllable man in the year of n political uphea- vel such as 1912 wns. despite the fact that 1t was to be three cornerea fight. democrats. republicans and pro- gressives.
 Mir. Roster said. "those who expect purists in politics are nearsighted There are lot of us, however. that expect gratitude. Tn n measure agree with this view. but 1t is unjust to ac- cuse Governor Sulzer of ingratitude. His nomination was forced by his per. sonal friends and his election hap pened because of the split. I do not believe Governor Sulzer to be guilty of the charge In the impeachment. al- though he may be proven guilty. Ii is unfortunate that the heat of poll- tics will sometimes drive extreme par tisans to extreme actions. I think we should all withhold our judgment un- til after the trial anyway and then 1t would be a hard matter for me to agree with a verdict of guilty be- cause of the absolute control of the senate by Tammany hall. Their mar gin is too solid and their organization is too perfect. We must remember that Governor Sulzer started the big fight by standing firm m the direct nominations bill, a bill which is a step in the right direction to give the pow. CT of government back to the people It Is sometimes hard to incur the enmity of powerful opponents and may prove disastrous to Gov. Sulzer but let not the people forget that 1t was because he was fighting their fight that the attack was made and let us not be ready to believe all"

ROSTER TELLS
 SULzER STORY
WAS LAWYER IN NEW YORK AND ExPLAiNS THE
 WHOLE THING.

The Nugget has been able to un- earth both an expert on New York constitutional law and a warm sup porter of Governor Sulzer in the per son of L. M. Roster, the new chief deputy In the marshars office. who came in with Marshal Jordan. Mir. Roster has been in active law practice in the state of New York for long time and Is a graduate of New York university, and seems to know where of he speaks.
 He says that Governor Sulzer will be tried on the impeachment preferred by the court for the trial of lmpeach- ments which Is composed of the jud- ges of the court of appeals, seven In number and the members of the New York senate or a majority respect lively of such judges and such sen ators. The president of the senate. who is Lieutenant Governor Martin 1T. Glynn would ordinarily be a mem- Der of such court in the trial of all impeachments. except that of the gov ernor. The New York constitution which was originally adopted some time in the fortys and amended about 1869 provides for the lieutenant gov ernor to be acting governor in the case of the disability of the governor because of absence from the state, or removal from office or resignation or impeachment. No officer can exercise his functions after impeachment has been preferred, assuming. of course, that 1t was properly conducted as to form. The impeachment court as q trial court could pass on the question of form. The members of the court must take oath individually to try i'm partially and on the evidence and a conviction can only be had on vote of twO-thirds present voting for con- viction.
 The Judgment can be dismissal from office or may be dismissal from office and disqualif cation from holding of flee in the state, It is Mir. Rosters opinion that the constitution works automatically in these cases end that ipso facto the lieutenant governor be- comes acting governor and thereby commander-in in-chief of the military forces of the state on the presentation of impeachment against the governor. He thinks there could be only one exception in which the lieutenant gov ernor would be acting governor and at the same time not commander -in- chief of the military forces and that is in the case of the absence of the governor from the state on military duty at the head of state troops. In that case the lieutenant governor is acting governor and the governor Is commander -in-chief He does not believe that 8 criminal judgment can

The barometer dropped one-tenth of an inch last night and In this respect 1t may be said that at last the bar ometer has been shown up as a fraud. Some days ago it went up so fast that the weather observor. Memo s. Jolls. declared that 1t went too fast to last, and sure enough, down it tumbled again, all same William Sulzer. It was still going down this morning when the sun was shining brightly and warmly. It certainly only can indi- cate one sort of climatic condition in these regions and that is that 1t is a frost.

cheaply there but that the adaptabil- fly of the place to agriculture would make 1t self-supporting. There is 100000 feet of lumber at Iron creek at present and this could be fioate1 down to the springs and used at less expense than lumber that could be got in Nome.
 The advantage of the Kruzgamapa springs may be guagcd by the crop which has been grown there this year. It consists of 15O bushels Of potatoes, 5000 celery plants, 200 head of cab bage. several tons of carrots, turnips and rutabagas. The oats and barley crop is also looking fine and lot of fine hay has also been put up 80 that it is hard to see where q better homo could be built or where 1t could have the same chance of success.
