TRUSTEES Of A..
& NJ. COLLEGE To
MEET HEREMAY10

The trustees of the Third District
Agricultural and Mechanical college
will meet in Americus on Thursday,
May 18th. This body is composed of:
Walter E. Steed, of But
ler.
Vice President. R. Stapleton, of
Preston.
Secretary. NJ. Collum,
Crawford Wheatley, of
Americus.
J. P. Hughes, of Cordele; ]. ].
Houser, of Grovania; w. E. Vance, of

4. B. Ragan, of Hawkinsville; H. L. D.
Hughes, of Danville; D. B. Fitzgerald,
Of Omaha; ]. L. Dent, of Roberta.
The meeting of the board will be of
interest and the result of much good
for the college. The reports of the
various officers will be laid before
them.
A movement is on foot which will
likely result in a bill being introduced
this summer in the general assembly
to change the name of the A. & NJ.
college here, although it still would
have a connection with the state sys-
tenn of college and universities and re-
ceive funds from the state.
Dahlonega has the North Georgia
Agricultural college, and prominent
people have proposed that the
Americus college change it's name and
be South Georgia Agricultural Col
lege.
Contributions of interesting sums
would doubtless be made in view of
this change, and serving the same
interests to the people and the state,
only better, it is expected that the
changes will be made.
The picture of the new academic
building now in course of construction
shows the wonderful increase which
will be given the facilities of the A. &
M college, and it is expected that this
building will be ready for occupancy
in a short time The total cost, to-
gether with equipment, will amount
to 100000 and it will be a credit to
the institution and the educational
work of Georgia.
A lions share OF the praise for the
progress which the college has made
is due to Crawford Wheatley, who has
served the college faithfully, and due

NEW ATTACKS On
VERDUN SENT BY
GERMAN FORCES

PARIS, May 8,-After seventy-seyen
days of continuous battle the Germans
are making new attacks before Verdun
with another formidable army. The
fighting today is almost equal in vio-
lence to that of the beginning Of
March.
A titanic struggle is in progress on
both banks of the Meuse, though the
principal effort is being directed
against Dead Mans Hill. The Ger
mans during last night hurled whole
army corps into the battle between
Dead Mans Hill and Hill 3O4, seeking
tc crush the French defense along a
mile and a half front, but no import
ant ground was gained.
The French war Office says officially
today that the Germans assaults were
al! broken down by the French bat
teries and rifle fire. l
French troops attacked east Of Hill
S04 this morning, and succeeded in
driving the Germans out Of the lone
communication trench they penetrated
yesterday
There was series of night battles
east Of the Meuse Sunday right, and
he Germans were driven from trench
south of Haudrehont, where thirty
prisoners were taken.

The federal governments case was
concluded after almost Q full day had
been given over to tho reading Of let

for the most part, by Messrs. Wilson
and Farmer, and were written to in
vestors and prospective investors, as
surfing them of the company's bright
business prospects, and returns that
would follow. -
In outlining the defense Attorney
Lowell declared that It would be
shown that the contract investment
plan was based upon the theory OF
the ten year endowment insurance
policy. 1t was contemplated that In
vestors would continue their payments
over the ten years period. on the basis
Of 800 yearly, and had the investors
continued their payments, there would
have been no difficulty.
Everything went along in fine shape
until . short crop year. when payments
on contracts ceased. and the company
found itself hampered In its opera
tons.
That the company was organized in
good faith by prominent Fargo bust.
ness men, who believed the plan had
big opportunities, was also maintained.

Life Insurance company OF Fargo, was
the first witness called to the stand.
He testified along the line laid down
by the defense In its statement.
