THE HKD AND BLACK.
The Winter School.
Prof. H. C. White, as President of
the State College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts, has done a good
sesvice to the young men of the
■ state in establishing the winter
school of agriculture at the State
University. This school was very
successfully conducted for three
months last winter, and promises to
be more largely attended this win
ter than last. The school opens on
the 3rd of January next, and lasts
for three consecutive mouths.
The object of this school is to
provide a course of training for
those young men of our state who
cannot afford to take a nine month’s j
course at the University, and to
give them all the advantages that
are possible in a course adapted to J
their needs. There are many rea-1
sons why this school should receive
the consideration of all these young
men who are debarred from pursu-!
iug a full nine month's course. In
the first place, the expenses of such
a course have been reduced to a
minimum by those having the mat
ter in charge, the entire expenditure
of the three mouths not necessarily
exceeding fifty dollars. Secondly,
this school is in session at a time of
year when a young man’s work on
a farm does not count for as much
as it does at any other bousoii of
the year, as the weather during
these first th ••••■ months o* the .1
is such as not to admit of much
farm work being done. Thirdly,
the course is a very desirable and
thorough one, embracing studies
that pertain to practical agriculture
and to the requirements of a good
education generally. Fourthly, the
art of agriculture has reached the
point where practical scientific
methods must be more generally re
sorted to. Agriculture has been
lean-fitted more during the present
century through the application of
scientific methods than during its
entire previous history, and those of
the farming class who best under
stand and can the most effectually
apply scientific methods will be
come the leaders in the great art
that supplies the most fundamental
needs of man.
Prof. White has also established
Farmers’ Institutes in various sec
tions of the state with a view to
bettering the condition of the farm
ing class by bettering their meth
ods of agriculture. He issues to
the farmers of the state periodical
bulletins from the Qeorgia Experi
ment Station at Griffin, which are
scientific tracts on the conditions
and features of practical agri
culture.
The school expects to open up
with a large attendance on the 3rd
of January next.

Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving day is at band.
The one day of all the year which is
proclaimed as a day of retros(
and thanks. What thoughts 1
front the mind when it is allowed U
roam at will in the pleasant memo
ries of a past year. Here we re-!
member some trivial joy which j
would otherwise be numbered
among the many forgotten oases of
that part of our lives forever gone.
There we think of some little kind
ness to ns during the year; which
softens our feelings to our fellow
man and makes us better and nobler I
in the contentious strife of life.
We remember the good and for
get the bail, as though some good
spirit had cast out the gloom from
our thoughts and taught us to look
upon the brighter side of all things.
On this day all enmities should be
cast aside and “man should recog
nize in man a brother." Here in the
University there exists no doubt,
many unpleasant misunderstandings
which could be easily corrected.
Far more pleasant is the thanks
giving of him who restores a former
friendship than that of hi in who
makes merry the day in the convivi
ality of the wine-cup. In College,
j enemies are frequently made in the
petty political contests which trans
form debating balls to pandemoni
ums and class meetings to disorder
ly disputes. H'"" great is the loss
| of the student wins the highest
office in college id loses a friend
in so doing. Then let Thanksgiving
Day be a day of peace and let us as
college-mates leave our differences
when we leave the University, and
go forth as a solid phalanx in the
great battle of life as friends and
brothers; fit consummation of the
merry, careless days which bridge
the gulf between youth ami man
hood. Wo ought then not only to
return our thanks for the past, but
to resolve to be United in thu future
{for the best good of our Alma
Mater and ourselves.

Demosthenian Society.
The meeting of the Demosthenian
last Saturday was one of unusual
interest. After opening with the
regular order of business the ora
v ami declaimers were excused,
x.-en a most interesting and excit
ing debate began on the subject,
Hesolvcd, “That there should be
a graduated income lax.” Mr. Mc
Gregor led the affirmative side in
an able manner. He was supported
by Messrs. Guyton and Brnnncn.
The speech of Mr. Guyton was one
of the ablest delivered in thesoeiety
in many days. The negative de
baters were Messrs. Jones and Has
kell. On account of other necessary
business, the debate was cut short
at this point, and the decision was
rendered in favor of the affirmative.
On motion of Mi. McGregor the
officers for the Magazine for the
next term were elected. They are
Messrs. Bower, editor-in-chief}
Floyd, Brnnncn and Brand, associ
ate editors. Mr. Sic I ling was cho
sen Business Manager.
Mr. Samuel Adams, of Savannah,
was elected for next Commencement
Orator, with Mr. F. G. DuBigiion as
first alternate.
The question that will be debated
today is,
Resolved, “That painting is a
greater branch of art than music.”
j The leading disputants are Messrs.
Olive and By a Is. T ,- « orators for
i today are as follows: Senior Sidl
ing; Junior, Dunlap and Nisbct;
Sophomore, Floyd and O’Neal.
Before adjournment the society
invited Prof. Rutherford, Dr. Riley
mid Dr. Young to deliver addresses
before it in the near future.

Hazing at Princeton.
It is not likely that any more
hazing outrages will be perpetrated
by the students of Princeton college.
All cases of the kind are hereafter
to be brought before the criminal
courts of New Jersey. Justice Ab
bett, in charging the grand jury of
Mercer com.ty concerning them, ha
given instructions that will secure
the trial of the recent violent cases
lie told the grand jury that hazing
had become of so brutal a character
al Princeton that human life was en
dangered by it, that the guilty par
ties must be arrested and punished
in the interest of the public peace,
and that the grand jurors, whom he
addressed, must do their duly in re
gard to the indictment of the in
loused. The language of Justice Al
[ belt in this charge was of the most
! serious kind. We shall soon see the
' result of it.
The action has become necessary.
The college authorities have striven
without success to put a slop to that
outrageous kind of hazing which has
irevatled within recent years at
Vinceton. They have administered
discipline in a few cases, hut it does
not seem to have any influence. It
is high time for the criminal prose
cution of the huxcrs who violate
law.
The immunity from punishment
of the Princeton sophomores win
violently assail the freshmen has en
eouraged the students to engage in
many riotous deeds outside the cam
pus. Those of them who cruelly
maltreated two Gliincsc Laundry
men last Thursday night will doubt
less be punished in an exemplary
way, as they have been arrested
and held for trial.—Ex.
