NEGRO FIREMEN CONDEMNED IN .'PETITION TO FEDERATION Paper Was Referrec to Committee for Consideration. TECH CLASS-OF1 ENTERS REAL LIFE BRILLIANT, GRADUATION EX- EROISES HELD AT BIJOU. Forty Practical Scientists Are Graduated From the Lo cal School. The graduating exercises of the Georgia School of Technology, held at the Bijou theater Thursday night, were the most brilliant In the history of the Institution. With one' exception, the rlass of 1906 was the largest that has left the school. Thirty-nine men re ceived their diplomas, and President Matheson announced M. R. Maclean had completed the' prescribed couree, with the exception! of some shop time, end that when-this was, made up his diploma would be granted him and h|» name enrolled with: the members of his class. , Dean Jamee E. Russell, as the princi pal speaker of the evening, delivered a masterly address on "The Opportuni ties and Responslhllltes of Professional Bervlces,” which was carefully listened to and appreciated, by the large au dience present. In the beginning he referred to three reasons which had been given by-expert students of the Hubject of why America had succeeded so far In advance of the rest of the world In the race for commercial su premacy, when an- Englishman claims that his countrymen pay a shilling In wages where Americans pay a half dol lar. The reasons given by the various experts were).Cl) A golden opportunity In it hew country'marvelously rich In natural resources; (2) the disposition of the average American to take chances, to play the game to the end, whatever the odds, and (!) professional training directed ^practical ends. He cited the instance of Denmark, which has made tremendous industrial strides toward Industrial development during the last thirty years, and stated that to.a.very large degree It wai due to the universal tralnlpg as experts which Is a part of the educational sys tem of the nation. This, he said, was what would make the South great, and the men who went forth from the Tech nological school were trained so, and were expected to take their part In the development of the section. The Oath of Hippocrates. In conelusfbn, he recited to them the oath of Hippocrates. which for centu ries has been administered to physi cians and surgeons who are graduat ing. Whtle.no such rigid oath of alle giance to His profession and the uplift of his fellow man was required of the engineer, still he must realise that the truest success was founded on service to his fellow man. Hon. John Temple Graves waa then Introduced by President Matheson. He stated that he had seen In the papers "f the city that the theses of the entire graduating, class were to be read, and In looking over the titles he had every reason to be profoundly grateful that this portion of the program had been omitted. Expressing hi* entire Ig norance but high appreciation of the science of mathematics,, he delivered to Robert Allah Anderson the medal of fered by Colonel Walter P. Andrews for the bests average during his entire course In pure mathematics. The other medal offered was by the New England Cotton Manufacturers’ Association for the best thesis In textile engineering, end was won by Mr. Wiley Nesbtt Bagwell. George Foster Peabody 8ps*ks. President Matheson then Introduced Hon. George Foster Peabody, who made » short address on the opportunities which await the technically' trained man. euch as those who received their diplomas from the Tech. He expressed his pleasure over the election of Chan cellor Barrow and of President Mathe- 'on, and stated that with the assuming of Control by these two men of the largest educational Institutions of the •tale he hoped to see developed a wronger feeling of fellowship In the oneness of their work. Chancellor Barrow was called upon b r President Matheson for a few words, and asked the privilege of ►leaking them to the members of the graduating class. He urged upon them ’he absolute necessity of unselfishness if they would succeed, and tnen quoted I® them a letter which he received from Dr. LeRoy Brown, when he wae about to take his flrst position after graduation. It had only one sentence and that was: "Make yourself ful that your services cannot be dls pensed with, and your rise Is certain.’ He quoted Bismarck's famous state ment: "We Germane fear God and nothing else,” and he urged It upon every man there to fenr God and nothing else, and they would always And Him ready In time of need. Hon. N. E. Harris, the chairman the board of trustees, then made a short address also to the members of the graduating class as has been the cus tom for the poet seventeen years. Mr. Harris gave the boys a few parting words of advice, telling them that the school expected their, help in the fu ture to work towards Its greater growth. Baccalaureate Address. The baccalaureate address was de llvered by President Matheson. He held up to the members of the gradu atlng class the high position which they will hold In the Industrial devel opment of the South, and tho neces sity for earnest-and conscientious ef fort. He spoke of the need of men to develop the mineral resources of the state, stating that the school had had many calls for mining experts which It had been unable to fill, and, ns a consequence there had been added to the courses already offered by the school, that of mining engineering, and i-i '-'ilct.Mi ;i bright future for those who ■halt take up this branch.

STOVALL To the Editor of The Georgian: In the absence from the city of Col onel Pleasant A. Stovall, editor and owner of The Savannah Press, I cannot alt Idly by and sea him attacked aa-he has been In your columns by Mr. G. B. Whatley, without roJelng iny voice In his defence. This letter la being writ ten entirely without Mr. Stovall's knowledge and before he has seen the letter of Mr. Whatloy. Were he within the hounds of the stato at this time, or so dole to Savannah that he could see the enrd of the 8avannah-Meldrlm at torney and answer It hlmaelf, there would be no need of my making an ef fort In that direction. With the question- of vote buying In the last election and with the editorial attacks of tha press of the state upon the politicians of Chatham county, I have little to do. I do object, however, to the term used by Mr. Whatley when he aaya the "The Havannah Press, through Its hired correspondents," sent broadcast over the state the atnrlra of corruption In the primary. This Is In a measure an attack upon me, aa i krai the only man In The Havaimnh itch office who eont to out-of-town news papers any account of votes being pur chased. ' It waa done without consulta tion with Mr. Stovall nnd solely ■ , .1-1, .1 „'n«r ,.r ,IIIt v. I I..-II..V.-.I that the papers who trust me lo send them the news from Savannah should have a correct statement as to tha practice of both sides In the purchase of votes nnd tried lo perform this ser vice. Mr. Whatleys peculiar connec 11 "ii w nil "The Men. Mlcln." of. the People's Democratic League, fear, has dimmed ,hla faculties to an appreciation of the fact that a man citn be connected with a newspaper and have convictions of his own. Mr. Whatley, In his card, uses thla language: "unfortunately, Mr. Stovall, the edi tor of The Press, and the Citizens' Club candidate for stnto senator, went down with his ticket. Chaffing under his humiliating defeat, It was only natural that his paper, through corps of correspondents, should send out this charge of buying nnd selling voles. Everybody .veil knows that If Hi-- .‘It I-.-hm’ ri.,1, tl.-krt no,I Mi S'-. vail had won. there would have been no report of vote-huylng nnd selling, or any other Irregularity, no matter how flagrantly nnd unblushlngly It may have been committed." No grenter slander waa ever penned. Mr. Whatley, If he 'knows Colonel Pleagant A. .Stovall even slightly, must he aware that there le not In Georgia a man of a higher aenae of honor. Ti use auch arguments aa thla In defend Ing the buying of votes or In refuta tion of the statement that not as many votes were bought aa In former elec tions, Is to stoop to the argument of the petty lawyer, and those acquainted with Mr. Whatley'e largo practice and extanalva business at the Havannah bar must express aurprlae that ha would place hlmaelf In this attitude. Tha editorial In The Havannah Press railing attention lo tha buying of votes did .not excuse either side. It was an appeal for better things In tha future. It called attention to the many broad- ■Idaa tha fair name of the county had received through'tha press of the state, and asked for a campaign pitched upon a higher plain In tha fiiture. In answer to thla Mr. Whatley, supposedly speak ing for a party of reformers, assails the author of the editorial as one who Insincere. Colonel Btovall Is probably personally known to more Georgians than any man of hla age In tha state. His friendships are many. Ha has lived In three cltlea of the atate, and I defy Mr. Whatley or any othar man to point to one dishonorable act In hla career. Ha haa ever pitched hie life upon a high plane. An association of fifteen yeara with him has taught me to trust him Implicitly. I have often been struck by hi* great distress of mind when he feared that he had unwittingly dona, a man a wrong. Hla newspaper haa been clean and Its columns have been open to any man of any party and of any.color who had anything to aay that waa of Interest to the public, and was at the same time clean, elevating and uplifting. Hla political opponents have been forced In the campaign just ended to admit that hla newspaper was the only one In which they could get what they termed a "square deal." It la In deed trying to have a man of thla stamp and rallber traduced by the "hired editor" (to borrow Mr. What ley’s own phrass) of a political organ Mr. Whatley shows little acquaint ance with the condurt of elections In the peat when he says that vote-buying In the primary of June 12 waa not car ried on to a greater extent than before. There haa never been an election In thla county during the time that I have been connected with Havannah news papers where bidders stood upon street corners bartering for votes as curb brokers do for stocks. The tlckete that were paid for were eo plentiful that gentleman who once occupied a Judicial position In the city, I am In- d, voted one of the ballots strik ingly marked on the back, and did not ■ oven slop to tear off the coupon which „ attached nnd properly punched, showed . how much the voter woe to get for ‘ railing It. Of course, I do not Intend ’’ to say that he was pntd to cast this > vote, hut evidently ho hnd n supply of ' tills kind on hand nnd cast It without J destroying the evidence Hint It was of [I that class. One of the most astound- Ing tilings In connection with the elec- * tlon was tho dlsplny a man who holds } a colonel's commission In the slate mil- '* Itary service was making of himself nnd nn entire set of mnrked ballots In ; the court-house during Hie counting of « the votes. He Ivns' snvlng this set ' mnrked on Hie hack with various lurid - devices ns n souvenir of the occasion. There were fully two hundred young , men who got their flrst Insight Into (i politics In this campaign. They have - made n beginning that will aland out;. In their memory for yearn to com* If „ thsy have any consciences and men of mature year* like Mr. Whatley, mem- , her* of either faction, who either s*nc- k tinned *uch work or entered Into It a* a matter of "necessity" have upon their [ heads the sin of debauching ' the mln.ls of these, young men ns to the proper way to win an election. Mr. Whatley Is a much older man than I, nnd I should‘have hesitated to have replied to him had I not been Impelled t., -peak In ,1, r, io„. of one whom I know and whom .Mr. Whutley should know from his acquaintance with him. Is above reproach. No good citizen of Georgia believes that "I’leae Htovall" took pnrt In the buying of votes, and, after all, that Is the only class whose opinion Is worth anything. W. G. HUTLIVE.
