reaches us the day it is published,
beating upon its lace evidences of
the prosperity of the Central city.
According To the report of the
Treasurer of the State University
for the last year it had a surplu 8
revenue oi several thousand dollars’
This might very happily be divert¬
ed to the sustenance of branches oi
the Agricultural Co’legt, until the
needs of the University shall be¬
come greater by virtue of an in¬
creased attendance.
There i» luck in leisure. Cel

millions of dollars more for the

It is proposed to repeal the usury
UwL We hope this will be done.
It was passed professedly in tbe
interest of tbe farming class, We
would like to hear of one oppressed

borrow money at 8 per cent or less
who coukl not have done so had
the law not been in force. Had
we not better dispense with laws
that do not accomplish the
purpose for which they were educat

With a revenue of more than
$30,000 annually, the University at
Atlietis affords collegiate training
to 150 studeo 18. Oue of the branch
agricultural colleges is attended by
upwards of three hundred nuptls,

Is .t not us true that the State

as much as n has been by the four

Hamilton College.
The Hamilton College which the
citizens of Hamilton propose to
ilonate to the State for a branch
agricultural college, is one of the
largest wooden baildmgs ih the
State, if not the largest- It is on
a ppnr-o't Oah nro'u'niain; bno hun-
dTed yards from the'Ooliunbus &
Home rail EOad track, and occupies
stioh a commanding position that
almost die entire portion of Harris
county, south ot Fine mountain is
visible from its obseryafory, on a
fair day, and even liouses in Talbot
aftd Muscogee connliee. Ihe bed
oT the railroad near it is 640 feet
above the level of Columbus. The
building is approached by easy
grades, the grounds having only a
sufficient, slope 'to insure perfect
drainage.
The foundations wero laid in
1871. The Hamilton Female Col¬
lege, which stood upon the same
site, waf destroyed by fire in 1870.
The trustees of the old institution
made a deed conveying the grounds
to the President of the college,
Col. John H. Lovelace, conditioned
upon his re-building. He devoted
himself wholly to the task, literally
giving his life to the work, lie
designed the builditig and expen¬
ded $9,000 upon it up to the time
of his dealh. It is said that not a
piece of sap timber was allowed by
lmn to be used in any part. The
rock foundation alone cost $700,—
lu 1879 Col. Lovelace died, having
contracted a cold from exposure
while woikmg on the building'
which resulted seriously. He left
the building in an unfinished con¬
dition, arid at his administrator’s
sale it was purchased by a stock
company who propose to finish it.
if the State will aecepf it and make
it a branch of the Agricultural
Colleges
The building is tot) large for a
priva:e institution, in this locality.
It was designed before tho panic,
bad nudferwined our fortunes arirl
before the terrible cyclones of ’75
had devastated out* county nrd
sapped the energies of our people.
An appreciation of this fact, with
a sense of our isolation from the
Agricultural Colleges of the State,
has led us to apply ior a branch of
these institutions. Our application
is endorsed heartily by the repre
sentatives of contiguous counties,
with a single exception! These all
understand tbe situation, knowing
that a large section, w ith Hamilton
as a centre, is excluded from the
benefits of the land scnp fund.
If the institution should be
opened as a branch of the Agri¬
cultural Collette, there, would not
be fewer than three hundred ma¬
triculates. It tvould be patronized
by Talbot, Marion, ^Chattahoochee,
Muscogee, Harris, Troup and Mer¬
iwether counties, and by reason ol
its healthful climate and its accessi
ble location would receive a liberal
patronage from southwest Georgia.
Patrons would be found all Gong
the Chattahoochee from Columbus
to Florida.
The building' is larg6 enough to
accommodate all who can be indu..
ced to attend, the large audience
hall having room enough for 30*
desks. The people of Hamilton
are simple iu their n >bits, aud the
stadtnts would be accommodated
with good board in private families,
at from $5 to $10 per mouth. Iu
short we offer every inducement,
only asking help of the State to the
extent of $2,000 annually. For
this amonnt we guarantee free tui
lion—h;gh school training—to as
!Il;ln y 0 f i, 6r sons an( j daughters as
Bh!lll npp ,„
It is too early to say that these
branch colleges sap instead of teed
he parent stem. Knowing that a
certificate of proficiency from one
of them will entitle him to entrance
into the Junior class of the Uni
versity, many a yotmg man will he
indueed to go on and graduate,
ifow many hare formed ibis wor
thy resolution, and are eow work—
ing for means to accompbMi their
purpose, time cn!y can Bhcw, but
we beiieve tbeir number n large.
Perhaps it weald be larger if the
advantages of the University wete j
better advertised. Or is it not
reasonable to assume' that if these
branches are not feeders, the fan'? •

,Mu*-.L_niDENT DEMOQ&ATIC NEWSPAPER*.
HAMILTON, GA„ FRIDAY, AUGUST 5?T881.
A Worthy Enterprise.
On the tfst day of September
the Columbus Eaqairer will publish
it»-annual trade issue. I» tlr.s vriH
he given a complete resume of the
business of Columbus for the pres
eat, year. The issue will bear ihe
index of that skill and enterprise
which have made tho Enquirer one
of tie leading Southern journals,
and a powerful contributor to the
prosperity of the section m which
it is published. We know that the
forthcoming trade tsknfe will ba an
honor to the city and section, and
believe it, will be the means of re
comphshing great gbod. We hope
it will meet, with a pa ronage com
mensurate with its deserts.

The Railroad Extension.
In another place we publish nil
interview the Columbus Times pro¬
fesses to have had with Dr. E. C
Hoed, president of the late C, &
R. railroad company. He believes
tiie road w ili not bo extended, ex¬
cept to Chipley, oue and a hull
miles north of Mood, It will be
noticed that he assigns no reason
for his belief, and while ail who
know him know that he is a close
observer and logical reasoner, we
shall take the liberty of differing
with him unti there are more facts
developed.
A large force of hands have
been engaged for several weeks in
widening the road bed and a large
force is at work in the shops in
Columbus making new freight cars.
Whether ilus only means prepara¬
tion for the increasing traffic of the
road, or preparation for an exten¬
sion, we cannot say, but we incline
to believe the latter, the wish be¬
ing father to the thought. In the
suspense Hamilton goes quietly tor*
ward, improving steadily, hopeful i
of the future and a Branch Agri
cultural College.
Two Great Schemes.
New York, July 25.— A new tel
egraph company has been f'oimcd
by well known canitalista in
country shall and Europe. It i- mtesided
that it incbide eVt-ry paving
point covered by ihe Western tin

James R. Keene is to be president
of the company. The board of Hi
lectors will include Jolih Maoav, of
t he Comstock lode, and other w ell
known California capitalists,
Geor£>e D. Roberts is lurpeiv inter
ested. The capital will be about
ten million dollars. The money*
The it is asserted, is alre ady .-uhstiribi-d,

A meeting is to lie held to-morrow

It is also said that a company has

value. The purchasers claim that
they can run them at a reduction of
$800,000 a year in expenses. James
R Keene is also said to ire the
head of this company. Its projec¬
tors say that they are now perfect
ing arrangements bv winch gram
and provisions can bo shipped to
Europe a little more than half the j
price now ruling, by rail, via the

In 1862 Congress donated ca*..
tain land to the State governments
to establbh in their borders col¬

accepted her pro rata, sold thr
same for $142,000, coveted the
same into the State treasury. The
Legislature afterwards hy solemn
act, placed tlto lun'd into lHc liatids
of the Trustees of the. University
