4 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. ——■»- ♦ • ^ — Don’t forget McQueen «fc Carter, the polite tonsorial artists beneath Baldwin’s shoe store.

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. S c e d u 1 e for Class in Elocution. 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. The society now adjourned. Pm Kappa Ham, Nov. 2", Ibffit. The society met and was called to order by President Fuller. Minutes were read and adopted. The socie ty then turned to election of new officers. Mr. Gibson nominated Mr. Cochran for president, who was unanimously elected. Mr. Orr was unanimously first assistant and Mr. D. L.

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.
