New York university has just come
into possession of an original photo
graph of the first inntor of that insti-

Evening Sun.
When the university was founded
January s, 1880, and students met in
the original building back of the city
hall. there was of course, no electric
bell ringing system. The responsible
ity of attendance at recitation was
shunted onto the janitor
Promptly on the hour he woult pro-
coed through the corridors armed with
huge metal gong In one hand and the
gong stick In the other. Pausing out
side the classr0oms, he would beat his
tattoo until the professor ceased his
lecture and the students moved on to
the next room on their program.

TO INCREASE POPULATION.

Census figures show Moultrle, Ga,
in Colquitt county, to have twice the
population of ten years ago. The in
crease is given at one hundred and
two per cent, and a little over, plac-
ing Moultrie very near the seven thou
sand class.
The Morning News of Savannah has
been making Investigations into the
reasons for this increase, and in a
lengthy editorial says that in a let
ter to the Morning News a Moultrie
citizen attributes the increase to ad-
vertising. The Savannah paper says:
about the natural advantages and
the initiative and the vision of the
people Of the town and county under
comment, people were informed and
they took notice of Moultrie and Col
Quit. Live stock interest was devel-
oped; directly the packing plant fol-
lowed; thousand new people went to
Moultrie on that account and as many
more went to Co1quitt to raise profit
ably the hogs which the nearby pack
ing houses could handle. With each
advance Moultrie and Colquitt went
again to the notice Of those who were
seeking a section where live stock
can be raised with profit, where
diversity of crops may be made profit
ably, where the climate and the soil
and especially-the marketing facili-
ties were present and ample. From
the West, from North Carolina, from
Middle and North Georgia, settlers
steadily went to Colquitt-to buy lands,
usually small farms on which they
could intensity and make the best
yield In profits with the fewest hands
and mules. There was a constant flow
of good families into the country about
Moultrie. There was not consider
able exodus of young men or older
men from the country to the county
seat or to the cities of the state.
'.Moultrie grew, however-drawing
many to the packing plant industry and
its allied and supporting activities.
men followed in numbers,
from other Georgia towns and from
other states, even from the Middle
West, because there was a growing
and substantial clientele for their
callings. Merchants, mechanics, auto
