Mr, Rogers Davis, one of our best
and brightest young men, son of the
Clerk of our Superior Court, was
awarded the first prize, a handsome
gold medal, at Emory college, for the
most perfect map of Georgia drawn
by any student in that time honored
institution. Rogers possesses genius
and talent, has a level head and a
generous heart, and will, no doubt,
win fame and honor while journeying
down the stream of Time.
Win. A. Edwards, son of our Or
.ionry, and a most excellent young
man, was awarded two gold medals at
Eiiu ry college last week for being the

the only student who ever won both
of these valuable medals in the same

He also came near getting the medal
for oratory. May success continue
to crown the efforts of our friend.
Mr. and Airs. W. C. Clark gave a
most delightful reception to some of

was present —and every guest left the
elegant and hospitable home of our
friends, charmed with the way they
had been entertained. Few happier

that of Mr. and Mrs. \V. C. Clark.
Col. Moses H. Stewart, one of the

ificatinn to fill the high position with
credit to himself and to the honor
and glory of the city of Montgomery.
“Mose Stewart,” as we ‘old boys’ call
him, has the nerve and courage to do
right under any and all circumstan
ces. He is a safe man' —a good man.
No paper will be issued from this
office next week. It is an accustom

never fail to take advantage of this
most excellent rule. May every one

until we greet them again, and after
that may they have a better time than
they ever had before. We tip our
last year’s straw hat and bid you an
affectionate adieu until about July 19.
'Vs presume candidates for office
will make their announcements in a
short while, and when they do the
people can consider their respective
claims and select the candidate ivho,
in their judgment, is best fitted to fill
the position sought. Ibis should be
applied to all uien who seek office,
from Bailiff to United States Senator.
Let the “bosses” retire and give the
people a chance to select their officers

A PROPOSITION
To Endow our Female College
and Make the Tuition
Absolutely Free.
A Go;d Plan to Secure Free
Education,
Everyone mutt feel an interest in the suc
cess of our female college. Every citizen of
Newton county is interested in it. There is
scarcely a lainily in the c unity hut what has
either daughters of their own, or vlanghlerg of
relatives to he educated This being the fact,
the question of having a hist class school with
in easy access of all, is a very important one,
and is entitled to the earnest aud thoughtful
consideration uf every citizen.
Covington is, perhaps, the most happily
uated for the location of a female collect'
any town in Middle Georgia. Being *itua? N8
in one of the most healthy sections of our
with a climate unsurpassed for its
and balmy atmosphere, which renders
ant and delightful at all seasons ; with '
inanity noted far and wide for its intelaj ie |
refinement, and high moral and rcligioiy Tuck
acter ; in the midst <f an gfill
and prosperous community ; within test'd bet
of Emory college, one of the finest ai
popular milt colleges in the country, Sr&tioi
will soon he connected with our college by? V
street railroad, tints affording the cheapest,
speediest, and most pleasant mode of trans
portation for students, between the two t
r t . ~ -omm
•nd colleges; ad of which combi*. , uu
| \ Otl
make our city one of the most dcsirable^ ar
attractive localities fora female college cf
ly to be found in our great state. Tlje that I
mg no other female college within thefcishops,
braced between the cities of Macon, (JgftiODS cl<
Athens and LaGrange, we have a t ttl:
comprising the finest section of Middle
gia, and one which would furnish the
for one of the largest a.id best schools n.f rum
state. Who can tail to see and appreciuQtccs
supeiior advantages Covington thus happ
enjoys for the location of the liest female col
lege in Georgia ? Surely they are unsur
passed in all this broad land of ours.
Then, shall we longer sit still ami not avail
ourselves of the means in oar power to builJ
up such a female college in our midst as all
may delight to patronize, and of which all may
feel just y proud? There can be but one an
swer to this question, and that is, we MUST
all unite in a common effjrt, and make our col
lege a grand success.
The great drawback to the college, since the
war, has been the cost ot tuition. Our peo
ple are generally poor, and cannot afford to
pay hign tuition for the collegiate education 6f
their daughters. This has deterred a great
many worthy young ladies in our section from
entering college. 1 hey have been obliged, in
many instances, to forego the benefits of a col
legiate education, because of the high rates oi
tuition. And yet, we do not mean to say the
tuition has been arbitrarily high ; but, on thi
contrary, the rates have been at such a figure
that the teachers have been very poorly paid
lor their services.
Now, where is the reme \y for ail this? The
college mast be endowed, and the tuition made
free, inis can be done, if the people of Cov
ington will t~ke the matter in hand, and go to
work, as one man, to raise the money. With
an endowment of SOO,OOO, the -buddings can
be repaired, and tne tuition made free. This
sun can be invested in such a way as to pay at
le.st 7 per cent, per annum, which would real
ize an annual income of, say, about $4,000.
This sum will secure as able and competent a
c ;rps of teachers, as can TTe found in the state
The endowment fund can be increased from
time to time, in various ways, until it is raised
to SIOO,OOO, which would forever set the col*
lege above want. Music and art, as well as
everything-else, should be taught free. Free
tuition is what the people want and need. Then
let us begin the work at once, raise the endow
ment fund, and thus secure free tuition to ah.
How can the endowment fund be raised ?
It can only be done by every citizen of our
town and county, who has daughters or
relatives to educate, to make a liberal donation
to the fund. A man who has one daughter to
educate, can afford to give SIOO ; and so on,
tor every daughter he has. It would save him
money in the graduation of one daughter to
give SIOO to the endowment fund, and secure
free tuition. In other words the tuition for
the graduation of one daughter, would cost
more than SIOO, besides the good it would do
to others, in affording them free tuition forever
after, as the income from the endowment fund
would pay all the college expenses for teachers,
&c.
Now, will every friend of the college antf. c law of
free tuition, help to raise the amount Judge
for the endowment fund ? If they will,
be raised If they will not, then the a*~ g ’
cannot be raised. supreme
The Star is willing to undertake t a super
of doing its part of the work of r.v |] ie traffic,
amount, and will agree to raise its par> brought to
of Covington. The Star believes it cfied for con
ss,ooo of the amount, if the people of “ e illegal
ington will raise the balance. If every
of Covington and Newton county, whbdrfiit that
daughters or relatives to educate, will **
SIOO towards the endowment, the amount can
be raised at once. *49

approving with satisfaction the course
of Hon. J. D. Stewart in Congress,
and instructed the delegates to vote
for his re nomination, pledging the
party to work for his re election. —
A resolution favoring a repeal of the
tobacco tax brought about a spirited
debate between Col. Middlebrook and
Col. Womack, in which others enga
ged Col. Middlebrook withdrew the
resolution and the “waters become
calm” and the Democratic love feast
continued in true brotherly fashion,
until the question as to who would be
permitted to vote in the primaries
was raised, and then Messrs. Rogers,
Lester, J. W. Anderson, Porter and
others discussed the matter >n a pa
triotic manner. It was finally agreed
“That noue hut white democratic
voters be permitted to cast a ballot in
any of the Democratic primary elec
tions to be held in this county this
year, and that no proxies be received
or counted in any of said elections.”
Hon. O. S. Porter offered the fol
lowing resolutions which were unani
mously adopted, to-wit:

except in the requirement of regis
tration, and that only democrats vote

tion be delivered by the managers
thereof to the chairman of the coun
ty executive committee by noon of

gether with them, shall consolidate
the vote, and declare the result, the
candidate receiving the lurgest num
ber of votes in said election to be de
clared the nominee of the democratic
party of Newton county for Repre

vene again at the call of the Chair
man of the Executive Committee.
