BATTLESHIP “GEORGIA”
WON’T COME VERY NEAR
The battleship Georgia which Is soon
to be commissioned, cannot get any
nearer Georgia waters than 1 or 4
miles off Tybes, and It will be the mid
dle of December next before she can
be sent thnt close.
This information was brought back
from Washington by Governor Terrellr
who has Just returned from a ten days’
trip East, accompanied by Mrs. Ter
rell.
"The Georgia, which Is now at Bos
ton,” Governor Terrell said, "will be
turned over to the government next
Sunday and accepted on Monday. At
the time of her acceptance the officers
of the new vessel will be commissioned
and ordered to man the vessel. Secre
tary of the Navy Bonaparte explained I
the charts while I was In his office and '
we found that 2 or 4 miles off Tybee j
Is the nearest the new battleship can
safely get to Georgia waters. The
Georgia draws 2S feet 8 Inches, but
It Is not considered safe for her to go
Into water less than 28 to 30 feet deep.
Secretary Bonaparte stated It would be
the middle of December before the bat- 1
tleshlp could be sent to Georgia, but
that this would be done If we desired It.
Of course we will have her come. I
expect to have a conference with Mayor
Myers, of Savannah,, who Is very much
Interested In the matter and also of the
presentation of some suitable gift to
the new vessel. We will doubtless be
able to arrange to have the people who
want to visit the Georgia taken down
to Tybee on vessels of some kind. It
will take three months to man the ves
sel and train the crew nnd for this rea
son It will be Impossible to get the
Georgia here before December."
Will Help New 8choole.
Governor Terrell also brought back
some Interesting information regarding
the new district agricultural colleges
which nre being established In Geor
gia. He had a conference with mem
bers ot the Southern Education board
and they agreed at their next meeting
to take up the question of extending aid
to the Tech and to other Georgia edu
cational Institutions.
The governor was fortunate In secur
ing some Immediate aid for the new
agricultural college! to be established
In each congressional district. Under
the law establishing these colleges no
money will be available until January
" 1907.
"There Is much preliminary work to
be done In connection with the estab
lishment of these colleges,” Governor
Terrell said, "and the Southern Educa
tion board has agreed at Its own ex
pense to send such experts to Georgia
as wo need to map out the curriculum
and give such other aid ns they can to
the trustees. The board also agreed to
pay the preliminary expenses of the
trustees in the work of establishing the
colleges.
"Further than that the board sent its
secretary. Dr. Wallace Butrlck, to
Washington with mo to see Secretary
Wilson and Assistant Secretary Hayes
of the department of agriculture. They
agreed to send two experts to Georgia
to nld In the work and lend euch other
aid as tho department can give under
the law."

Across the grass I ace her pass;
Hhe comes with tripping pare—
A innld I know—and March winds blow
Her hair across her face—
With a hey. Dolly! ho, Dolly!
Dolly shall be mine
Before the spray Is white with May,
Or Lloorns the eglautlne.
The March winds blow. I watch her go:
Her eye la brown and clear,
Her cheek Is brown and soft as down
tTo those who see It near)—
With a hey, Dolly! ho, Dolly!
Dolly shall be mine
Before the spray Is white with May,
Or blooms the eglantine.
What has she not that they have got—
The dittoes that walk In silk!
If she undo her 'kerchief blue,
Her neck Is white ns milk.
TV’Jtb a bey, Dolly! ho, Dolly!
Dolly shall be mine
Before the spray Is white with May,
Or blooms tho eglantine.
Let those who will be proud and chill;
For me, from June to June,
My Dolly's words nre sweet tg curds—

With a hey, Dolly I ho, Dolly!

Oh, tall Lent-llllex, flame!

And Dolly la her name.
With a hey, Dolly! ho, Dolly!
Dolly shall be mine
Before the spray la white with May,
Or blooms tho eglantine.

It I* a tact well known to all students
of family history, said a genealogical
pert, that If you want to And the
uest blood” and the longest descents,
you must go, not to the pgerage, but
to the great middle classes, and even
lower, that many a proud wearer of a
duke’s or an earl's coronet today has
a pedigree which will not compare for
distinction with that of seme of his
tradesmen or tenants. Tes, I know
this Is a surprising statement, but it
Is a sober statement of the truth.
There are very few of our present
peers who can trace their descent from
the great noble* of tha days of chivalry
or earlier. The founder of one line of
marquesses was an innkeper; of a line
of earls a glazier, and so on; and many
of the greatest aristocrats of our time
owe their rank and wealth to tho en
terprise and luck of city apprentices.
To quote Burke:
"Let us look back only aa far as the.
year 1637, and we shall find the great-
grandson of Margaret Plantaganet,
herself the daughter and nelress of
George, duke of Clarence, following the
cobbler’s craft at Newport, a little town
In Shropshire. Nor Is this the only
branch of the tree of royalty that has
dwarfed and withered.
"If we were to closely Investigate the
fortunes of the many Inheritors of the
royal arms, It would soon be ehown
that 'the aspiring blood of Lancaster’
flows through very humble veins.
Among the lineal dlscendants of Ed
ward of Woodstock, earl of Kent, sixth
son of Edward I, k,lng of England, en
titled to a quarter the royal'arma, oc
cur a butcher and. a toll gatherer—the
first a Joseph Smart, of Halesowen,
the latter a George Wltmot, keeper
of the turnpike gate at Cooper's Bank,
near Dudley.
"Then again, among ths descendants
of Thomas Plantaganet, duke of Glou
cester, fifth son of Edward III, we dis
cover Stephen James Penney, the laic
sexton at St. George’s, Hanover square
l strange descent from the sword and
scepter to the spade and pickax!”
The last head of the great Scottlsii
house of Lindsay, and de Jure earl of
Crawford, died In 17*4, In the capac
ity of hostler In an Inn at Kirkwall,
In the Orkneys; and In four genera
tions the descendant* of Sir Richard
Hnightley of Fawsley (the head of
one of the oldest and most distinguish
ed families in England) and his wife,
daughter of the great Protector Somer
set, ended as obscure London trades
men—drapers and oil men outside tha
city gates. v
Sir Thomas Conyers, the head of a
family which had held vast-estates,
owned castles and enjoyed high rank
in the north ot England almost from
the days of the conquest, died a pau
per In a Durham work house. A grand
son of Oliver Cromwell and a kins
man of Thomaa Cromwell, earl of Es
sex, served behind the counter lo a
Snow Hill shop, while one of ht»
nlives ended her days In a wo-k
house, and of his great-nieces, one
married a butcher’s son and the otner
a Cambridgeshire shoemaker.
Among peasants and laborers, farm
ers and small tradesman are many de
scendant* of the great feudal houses
of Scrope and Oreystoke, Neville and
LVArcy, and many another noble stocl
who can claim kinship with our blu«st-
blooded peers and royal descents
lore, while In the pedigree ot the du.«
of Northumberland figure farmers ai"J
haberdashers, husbandmen and paper-
stainers.—Tld-BRs.
