It will inspire you to oultlvate more ele gant accomplishments. The atmosphere of the week Is conducive to high aspirations that exalt the heart and make the mind eager to grow and remaln.young and fresh, “even as the garden of the Lord." THE PLATFORM. Care has been exercised In selecting only those whose marked Individ uality of talent commends them to popular audiences.

Walters, Chautauqua Is indebted for the Inauguration of what is one of its most hopeful features—the Medal Con tests. The advantage of this contest, in exciting the Interest of children ' and those accomplishments that make for higher culture, induced another friend of the Assembly to offer three medals, more, and now the girls and boys of South Georgia have the privilege of’ competitive trials of skill in oratory and music. TEACHER8’ INSTITUTE. The Chautauqua management alms through this department to place within easy reach of the teachers of this section instruction In pedagogy and methods of teaching that equals that to he found In the best normal training schools In this country. HOn. W. B. Merritt, State School Com missioner, and Prof. Lawton B. Evans will be the principal conductors, whlcp Is a guarantee that it will be up to date in all respects. The homes of the city will be open at very moderate rates for entertainment of the teachers In attendance. , ,. - MUSICAL DEPARTMENT. MubIc has been one of the most strikingly pleasing of all the features of Chautauqua’s enjoyable assemblies, and the aim of the management Is to make that of the eighteenth assembly brighter and better than any of its predecessors, If possible. With this end in view, Dr. Alfred Hallam, the musical director of the New York Chautauqua, has been secured, and we bespeak for him the active co-operation of every musician in the city. It Is our purpose to have the largest chorus that ever graced the Chautauqua platform. Miss Christine L. Giles, an accomplished soloist, will delight Chautauqua audiences throughout the week. The Assembly Orchestra will discourse sweet music at every exercise. C. L. 8. C.

The man came here some time ago from Albany, and since he hit town has attracted considerable atten tion. Nobody paid very close heed to what he said, but some of those who did say that he preached seditious doc trine, and gave some evidence of be ing half-cracked In the bead. "The gospel of sweetness and light had little part In his theology. He preached death, damnation and de struction, in the thirty-third degree. He said that he had warned the ne groes, and whites, too, up In Tennes see last year that unless they ceased their evil wayB there would be short crops, and he called to witness that there were short crops. The Tennes seans who had blamed the boll weevil and bad weather will know better when they sqe this article. He also claimed to have predicted the cyclone that struok Albany a few monthB back. Albany Is a wet town, and regarded by Its neighbors as having a slight penchant for wickedness, hut many will be surprised to learn that It de served Sodom-like punishment. He al so made his remarks local and told the Thomasvllle folks that a pillar of fire might descend and sweep them from earth unless they hiked back to the path of righteousness. “In addition to these evidences of being crippled under the hat, the ne gro worried the life out of the tele phone girls by asking them If there was a long-distance call for him. After his twelfth visit, Manager Naff asked him from whom he expected a long-distance message. ‘Prom above,’ he replied, In solemn tones. This re versal of-the ‘Hello, Central, give me Heaven' song staggered the manager, but he told the anxious Inquirer tha^ the lines did not reach that far. “The negro did not seem fazed by his Incarceration in the local Bastlle. In fact, he haB never semed to care whether he had an audience or not. He preached steadily on all the even ing chiefly on the text that 'they have no right to lock me up.’ “The particular accusation against MorrlB was that he Would not stop his monotonous preaching when told to do so by the officers. No objection was made to him so long as he stayed on the fringes of business and did not get right In front of a man’s door. He disregarded this Injunction yesterday, and even after being reminded several times to move to shore open quarters, he neglected to do so. When asked last night why he waB so obstinate he replied: ’I was just at the conclusion of my sermon, with a lot of people around me rejoicing, and I knew the officers didn’t have no right to bother me; and then I didn’t exactly hear them,” just like a soldier in battle sometimes don’t hear what yon say ter him.’ 'MorrlB has an endlesrf flow of lan guage, his/words rolling off hts tongue like water off a dam. He will prob ably be released when he cools down a bit” Albany Is to have a business col lege. After a correspondence with local parties covering a period of several weeks, President H. S. Bowden, of Hamilton College, Bremen, Ga., has decided to move to Albany and estab lish the Georgia Business University. He has leased the third floor of the Welch building, on. -the corner of Broad and Washington streets, and the place will be fitted up In accord ance with his' Ideas. Mr. L. E, Welch received a letter from President Bowden on Friday In which the writer stated that he would he in Albany during Chautauqua week for the purpose of perfecting his ar rangements to move to this city. He proposes to- establish an up-to-date business college, making It second to none In the Ssuth. He has been emi nently successful with his Institution at Bremen, but for good and sufficient reasons has decided to come to Al bany. This city was selected after conditions at a number of other places under consideration had been Investi gated. V There appears to be an excellent op portunity for the successful launching at this time ,of such an Institution as President Bowden will bring. It will draw patronage from a wide territory which at present contains no bUBlneBs college, and will receive the support and encouragement of the people of Albany. • Fresh Seed are kind that Grow. the only Fresh Seed kind we sell. are the only Albany Drug Co.
