The sugar trust bids fair to rival the

Senator Brown remains in a pre¬

Next Wednesday the Georgia Week¬

For the lack of something better,
several of our daily cotemporarics have

The new administration of these

Ei.hektox is the first to have a claim
putin for one of the proposed ten
branch colleges. Notwitlistanding the
fact that the parent college is already
situated in this district, we don't think
we can ever congratulate our sister
town on procuring Sears, what is wished for
her. It will be if ever, before
the people will submit to having those
branch colleges establtshed.
WHERE THEY ARE HEEDED.
There were twenty-seven members of
the graduating class of the State Uni¬
versity last week. By investigation
the Athens Banner found that there
were among these several voung men
wh0 would study law, two online who
would be doctors, one or two journal
, j s j s< an( j (he balance either enter busi
ness pursuits or lollo , ,, tv some profession,
™
himself the laudable pursuit of farming,
This is lamentable, ami seems strange
in the face of the fact that there is an
agricultural feature of the University.
Such an announcement is enough to
set the minds of the people going. We
consider farming the highest of all call
ings, and one above all others where
intelligence and education should be
brought to play. It is of all trades and
profes«ions Urn most important, because
upon it .11 other trades and professions
are dependent. Properly conducted it
is a science, and therefore would best
he conducted by edrrcglcd minds which
have had opportunities to become
miliar with scientific principles, tin
adoption of which are most calculated
to make it a success. Though now, we
an- ashamed to admit, it is looked down
upon by other pursuits, it should be
looked up to by all others.
The true farmer—the educated, ]
tclligent farmer—is the most independ
cut of men. In the main he deals
re.ctly with nature anti nature’s gifts
and nature directly rewards bis intelli¬
gent efforts, ills success or failure
means the sueees or failure of those of all
other professions and trades who must
prosper only with his prosperity or fail
with liis failure. He and his profes¬
sion (for farming can he nothing else
hut a profession) comes first and are
consequently the head of another*. It
is the most manly, the most healthful,
the most independent, the most scien¬
tific, the most important and where in¬
telligently conducted the most remu¬
nerative of all pursuits. It is one that
should, nlmve all others, demand the
highest of respect because it is the most
respectable. Being so important it is
no wonder that it demands both brains
and muscle to successfully conduct it.
The muscle should ho active and the
brain sound and trained by education.
Did none of the last graduating class of
the University have these accomplish¬
ments? Mad they been taught that
they were not sufficiently strong of
muscle and mind and sufficiently well
educated to follow the high pursuit of
farming? Were they told that they
were only capable of the secondary pur¬
suits of life, such as the practice of law
or medicine, the editing of a paper or
the selling of goods?
Surely not. Doubtless the same, mis¬
take was made with them that is ever
being made. From their childhood up
they had been led into the grave error
of thinking that one not sufficiently tal¬
ented to do anything else was suited
only to farming. This is one of the
most inexcusable of errors. Farming
was the first pursuit of man; from it all
others emanated. We doubt not the
first of mankind who entered into other
pursuits was he who was not capable of
makinga success of farming. It should
be thus now, and we should see it an¬
nounced that honor graduates and a
majority of graduates would enter this
high profession. On the farm is whore
they are most needed and where they
are most likely to meet with success.
One or two from each graduating class
will give us a sufficiency of profession¬
al and business men; all of every grad¬
uating class for years to come will not
give us an overplus of seventitie, intelli¬
gent farmers. And such farmers is the
greatest need of the land just now.
BEYOND THE LIMIT.
On our third page to-day we vepro- \
dnee an article upon higher education
that will read well to many of our read
era. We do not reproduce it to com¬
mend it but rather to criticise, and ask
that the originators of such a scheme! 1

Chancellor Boggs is accredited with
advancing the ideas therein embodied. I
and while we have great respect for his
energetic efforts in behalf of the State
University, wo are afraid he has gone
over the bounds of reason m his atlvo
cacy of higher education, and the meth¬
ods by which ite proposes to obtain it.
We do not think the State is just yet,
nor will it be in some time, ready or
able to stand such an expense even for
such a seeming necessity as higher ed¬
ucation. What is most needed is some
means by which the general masses will

school , , educations; , plans , Which , . , Wtil ...

To overcome this Cbaucettor Boss*
would establish ..... a branch . college iu each ,
district, which would, as we believe.
be getting further still from the right.
The branch college* already established
have proven to be unwise provisions.
They are expensive and deteriorat e
materially from the parent college. To
establish more of them would only in
: crease the expense and tend to cripple
the university more perceptibly. One
school could be conducted at far less
expense thau eleven, and yet the one
| made as great in capacity. If appro
prifttions must be made for educational
purposes, let them be centered upon
one school, and used to provide only
one faculty and one set of buildings,
1 one quoia of apparatus, and the tax
