VALDOSTA, GA., SATURDAY;
NEW COLLEGE FOR
VALDOSTA.
The House Passes Senate Bill E$-
Grady County Court
Drawn by a
Atlanta, Ga|, August 2—"By Mr
The Bill was Adapted by a Vote of
* 122 to 22 Establishing a State
School In This City Where the High
' er Branches, as Well as Agricul
ture, Will be Taught
Atlanta, Aug. 2—On yesterday the
house took up the senate bill of Mr.
West of the Sixth, to oganlze, estab
lish and maintain a normal and agri
cultural school In South Georgia as
a branch of the University- of Geor
gia.
Mr. /Ashley of I-owndes advocated
the bill. He wanted everybody to
vote for It. South Georgia was
- great and growing section. The last
United States census showed that
North Georgia had only about 170
00i more people than south Georgia.
But the latter section for years, had
been growing more than any other
part of the Btate and now probably
had passed North Georgia In popula
tion. The Idea was to locate this
school at Valdosta, Lowndes county.
Those people familiar with south
Georgia knew that Valdosta was the
leading, the liveliest town down there
. —good -people, good buildings, good
water and good railroad facilities—a
bright brave and growing little city
inndreds- of boys and
w*o cannot go
convenient to Valdosta. This
kchool would be a great benefit to
people of South Georgia and he
hoped the members would vote for It.
Small Appropriations.
"The state," said Mr. Ashley, "gives
south Georgia educational Institu
tions nothing except $8,000, I believe
to a school In Savannah."
"The state doesn’t give that $8,-
000," suggested Mr. Hall of Bibb
"All the more reason then,” con
cluded Mr. Ashley, "why the state
should give Its aid and establish this
school In south Georgia."
To Multiply Colleges
Mr. Wright of Floyd, opposed the
bill. He feared that It passed. It would
tend to multiply branch colleges.
The legislature fixed the policy of the
Lowndes county offer In this bill to
give the grounds, 50 acres, and the
building for this normal and agricul
tural school. They propose to give
both grounds and building—to give
title to the Institution to the state—
the condition being that the state
shall support and maintain It. Mr. j Singletary, „of Thomas—a bill to es-
Mitchell showed that the school tabllsh the city court of Cairo, In
would be a branch of the University 1 Grady county." Behind this brief
tTT n h er „ ,he , g , 6neral BU P ervlsl °n of c tlon 0( a meaiure lntroduce( i
the board of trustees. He argued ... . . . . . .
that the proposition was a wise one tbe bouse and pa,sed by botb bo “*«
and senate, Is a good story.
Mr. Singletary Is the only man
who cad now become judge of that
court when it Is created. This la the
way It happens: Mr. Singletary
„ ,. .. . „ . lives in that part of Thomas county
y. e said that the people of wb i c h was sacrificed for the creation
tria man r wnnt nnv nnrmol ... _
and that the state would do well to ac
cept It.
Not a Real Branch,
Mr. Knight of Berrien, opposed the
bill. He didn t think that this would
be a real branch college of the Uni-
-K
south Georgia didn’t want any normal of the new county of Grady. The
sugar-coated stuff, but a real genuine bllI t0 eiU blls h the city court of
agricultural college. Such an Institu- „ a „ proper and rIfht> but lt
