THK AftelOCLTinUL OOLLXOK AMD THE UMIVMESITIM.
It ti a matter of gratlfleatkm lo tbe friend* of agricultural education
and of tbe t'nlvenlty of Georgia that tbe illgbt euggeition of friction
between tbeae great tntereata manlfeated aome weeka ago baa now been
moat happily adjaated.
I It waa quite erideot that In preparing oounea of. etudy for tbe new
, ichoola an apprebeaalon prevailed that certain Influence! directly con
nected with tbe unlveralty might be tempted In their abaolute loyally to
| that great iaatltutlon. to give the preponderance of etndlea to each a courae
I aa would make eaay the paaaage from the agricultural achoola to the uni-
I veralty at Athena, and that to tbla end the claaalca had been given too
large a prominence In tbe curriculum of tbe agricultural ichoola.
j Tbla agpreheualoo.pubUoly atated created no little apprebenaion
I among the frlenda of ngrloultural education, and evaked from the great or-
ganlaatlon of tbe farmer! aome apeclflc proteat through their official
head. ,
It la quite evident now that thrta apprebenaion haa been duly regard
ed and treated with great conalderatton by tbe Initial beard dealing with
tbe couraee of etudy In the agricultural achoola. Prof. J. 8. Stewart. of
tbla board, end alao a member of .the faculty of tbe Unlreralty of Georgia,
baa made plain In published Interview! that the board mapping tbla line
of atndy haa had no arbitrary powara. but baa acted In a purely aug-
geatlve capacity and that the amendment or correction of tbelr report la
eaaily within the authority of the local truateea of'the Individual school*.
And tbe other mattera of detail anch aa choice of location, of
building, and aeieetton of leachera, It alao within the authority ot the
local tfuateea of the aeveral achoola.
Profeaaor Stewart haa gone to great peine to Indicate In detail tbe
great preponderance given to agricultural eduoatlou In lb# -courae of
atudy auggeuted by htmaelf and the other member* ot tbe committee ap-
lailnted by the governor, and a reading of Profeaaor Stewart’* r«i«>rt will
Indicate that tbe feellnga and wlahea of the farmera have been treated
with great reaped In the preliminary work of the committee.
It la the optnlun of The Georgia n that tbla aplrtt manlfeiled in the
word* and demonatraled In the publ lahed courae of atudlea will satisfy
lu large moaaure tbe complain! of thoae who were jealou* for agri
cultural pre-eminence In the data of atudlea, nod that Chare will be no far
ther friction In the complete and h appy cunaummatton ot these great en
terprises which are adding ao much to the happlneea and high repute of
Georgia.
' The Georgian, which la one of tbe moat loyal of frlenda of the the uni
royalty, la equally loyal to the theory and titan of the agricultural col-
lege*, and we beve not been willing*! any time lo age the Interests of one
made subordinate to the other. For that reason it la our pTea»ure~!o
chronicle tbe fact of tbla better understanding. We have been In great
sympathy In time past with the eptrit and purpose of claialcat education,
but we have long since reached an Impression which seems to Indicate
that tbe education which this age requires la not absolutely depen
dent upon the classical, and that both Imagination and culture can be
attained without too gnat a aubtervlenco to those ancient theories which
made the study of Latin nod Greek an Indispensable .element of every
mental curriculum.

THE SITE FOB THE ARMORY.
The selection of a site for the armory baa been anally made and'
tbe matter Is settled beyond queatlon or criticism.
The Georgian ban bad no preference of Ita own In this matter and iy>w
that the site haa been choaen we can any without Insincerity that wc lie-
lleve that tt baa been wisely and discreetly selected. There can be uo
doubt that the alto chosen Is nearer perhaps to the center of tbe whole
city than any other site under consideration. It will be more easily
reachcd from the business Center tban any other site and will subserve
the convenience perhaps of a greater number of people.
It la alao true that this site meets the great end of maintaining the
equilibrium jietwoon tbe two sections of tbe city on either aide of the
railroad and that no sectional jealousy over the propundorance of one
aide over the other can be aroused by the Anal decision of tbe council
In the matter. - — , ^
It there be any criticisms of the Immediate surroundings of tbe new
site for tbe auditorium. The Georgian Is of tbe opinion that this Is an ob
jection which will rapidly settle Ueelf mid regulate tateW to the full Mile-
faction of the public. There can be no doubt that the erection of this
great building on that particular apot will greatly Improve the class and
quality of the building* erected there. The mere fact that this site will
become the center of ao many gathering* and of such frequeut assem
blies of Urge and representative numbers, will make a most eligible
point tor Ibo erection of such business establlahmcnU of character and
repute ns will attract, the custom of tbe represcnUtlve crowd* that gather
there.
And ao the Auditorium-Armory will undoubtedly Improve that
section of tho oily ao rapidly In the character of Its buildings and ot Ita
population that the only poealble objection to be urged against It will lie
speedily mat and cured by the existpnee or the Auditorium-Armory Itseir.
We think that tho council has done well and tbat the public will
every year have an lucrenalng satisfaction In the discretion and Judg
ment displayed In the choice of an armory site.

NATIONAL RECOGNITION OF SOUTHERN TENNIS.
Tbe recognition of Atlanta as the renter of tho Southern world of
amateur sports haa gone band In hand with the recognition of the^posl-
tlon of the South In national ainrtlng life.
The Southern Association of llnecbatl League* ha* been placed lu
Claaa A, along with the best leagues In the country, barring only tho Na
tional and American leagues, and each year these two big organisa
tions come to tbe South to select tbr beat ot thetr recruit* for the com
ing season's try outs.
Aa the home of the siurtsmen I he Southland la becoming more and
more recognised among the people of America. Ha forest* and Held*
still teem with game blrda. In Mississippi tbe festive bear *1111 roam* and
tn Arkansas and the southwestern states the deer and wolves are found
lu profusion. Virginia *tlll continues lo keep up n warm Interest In the
chasing ot the fot and more nnd more Northern huntsmen come South
each year lu the purault of tbelr favorite sport.
At tbe meeting of the National Lawn Tennis. Association which waa
held Tuesday night at New York eecognltlon of the |K>*lt|nn of the South
ern tennis player* came In u way which was unexpected—to tbe
Northerners at leant.
L. I). Scott, of Atlanta, secretary of tbe Southern l-ivtn Tennis Ate
soclatlnn and n member of the board of director* ot the National Associa
tion. asked that the winners of Ihe Southern doubles championship be
granted nnd next year the winners alnat tho Rastem and Western cham
pions for th* championship of fho I'nlted Stales. This request waa
granted and next year the wlners of Ihe doubles tnurmhiicnt which
will he held In Atlanta will be sent lo Newinri. or whatever point Is de-
rlded'iipou. and all tbelr expense* paid by the Somhern Association.
.Tbla fact will lend a very great Interest to Hie doubles tournament.
The fact .that the winner* are to have such a trip, expense* free, and
the privilege of playing for the nallonal championship will draw the best
tennis player* uf ihe country lo Atlanta tor the tournament.
Five year* ago much recognition ot Southern tennis would have
bet-u Impossible. Hut live years have seen many change*—ilie southern-
lilng of the Southern championship, the formation of the Southern Lawn
Tennl* Association and the rapid advancement of Southern players un
til many of them arc able lu hold their own In any tournament and
against any plater*
Th* Southern, cluuuplonnhlp w hich will he held thf* year In Atlanta
will be the greateat tbe South has ever known ami alter the National
double* event ha* been derided the position of the South lu the world
ot tennla will be more firmly and mure favorably flxed than ever before.

Let me call the attention of Geor*
gisnn to some quotations from the
market pages of our dally papers, and
let me beg*of you to give them some
thought.
‘in the first place, let me recall the
fact that I have Insisted throughout
the season that our best grade of cot-
nn should bring not less than 12 1*2
cents; It has been and Is now worth
every cent of It. It Is worth It either
front the standpoint of the grower,
from that of supply nnd demand, from
the price At which goods ere selling,
or from the profits which the mills are
making, .
“Note the following from a recent

There Is In the results he is getting,
the profits he Is making, proof that he

our cotton.
Home ftpinnert Should Help.
“American manufacturers only use
about one-third of our crop. They
would not be hurt by It, but the fhr«
ciguer who. tinea two-ttitrris, or some
8.000.000 to *#.000.000 bales, would be
forced to pay Uic addiiiuiml gbentn per

putt of the crop that he uses.
“These conditions have lost Georgia's

should not every American, spinners

“I appeal to our spinners and to every
