AtSoutk Georgia College.
The large and intelligent audience
which gathered in the chapel of the
South Georgia College last night, to
hear the Hon. P. W. .Mcldrim, evi
denced the high esteem in which this
brilliant young Savanuahian is held
by the citizens of Thomasville.
From the day it was annoueed that
he would deliver an address here on
the occasion of the commencement of
the South Georgia College the public
have looked forward to the occasion
with both pleasure and interest.
Mr. Mcldrim has been a firm friend
of the college, and our people fully
appreciate it. The gentleman is al
ways sure of a warm-hearted, gener
ous welcome in Thomasville. The
impression made last night, was in
deed a happy one.
At 8:30 o’clock Rev. T. E. Smith
opened the exercises by invoking the
blessing of God on the assembly, in a
short and impressive prayer, after
which Miss Pet. Woodson,. on the
piano, rendered the beautiful Soufts
Waltz by Lizt.
Prof. Lovcjoy then introduced the
orator of the evening, Hon. P. W.
Meldrim, in a few well timed re
marks, in which he alluded to the
past services of the distinguished gen
tleman in behalf of the institution.
Mr. Meldrim, in the outset, after
refering in a happy manner to the
reference to his services, apologised
for any deficiencies that might
appear and stated that sickness
had rendered him weak, and lie must
ask the indulgence of the audience,
especially the young hoys, in giving
hint perfect quiet.
It would be useless for us. in a brief
space, to undertake to give the gentle
man’s remarks, His address was re
plete with ancient history—reviewing
the course of Greece, paying her a
glowing tribute for her powers in lit
erature, art and science, as well ns
her physical culture. Hc'eompared the
Athens of 2,000 years ago to the civ
ilized world of to-day. Its people
were fair to look upon, and culture of'
mind, station and wealth werejtheu, as
now, marked factorsjiii its history. Of
all these, education was the most
potent, and they strove to increase
their learning, as well ns perfect
themselves in physical training. This
necessarily resulted in it race of peo
ple who have been famed (or 2,000
years for their powers of oratory,
their display of wisdom, and their
feats of valor on the' field of battle.
Their physical and intellectual cult
ure went hnnd in hand, and hence
the Greeks were noted for their prow-

saying that every one is pleased tQ
see the Major in Thomasville,
The speaker made an application of
this custom, to the youth of our day,
aud also held up to their mind’s eye
tho customs of the nneient Athe
nians iu their maneuvering.-) for
place and power, showing that in that
particular they were fully abreast of
our people of the present day, and
the “demagogues usurped the place, of
the statesmen;” but were punished by
being stoned to death. He thought
the Athenian method would very
profitably apply in Georgia to-day, and
the public ought to hold public offi
cers to account. People arc best
known by their laws, and tho ob
servance or nou-obsctvanco of them.
Tho reporter makes no pretense of
quoting the gentleman. To summa
rise his ‘address would he to spoil it.
It was a most learned and eloquent
discourse and delivered with that em
phasis and correctness of jcsticulntion
for which the gentleman 's 'famous.
His concluding re narks we subjoin.
The weakness of the Athenian gov
ernment was in the direct exercise, by
the people of the legislative, judicial
and executive functions. Its vice
consisted in the unrcstraiir 1 liberty
of the people. Cicero says: Liberty
has no abode in any state except that
in whiph the power of the people is
supreme. Yes,- and liberty has no
abode in any state except that in
which the power of the people i3 re
strained. A constitution has no self
preserving power. Sparta the strongest
of all paternal government, whose
laws Lycurgas, and for the preseva-
tion, of which ho died fell corrupted
by means of dominion, luxury and
wealth. Dominion, luxury and wealth
are the samp ,in their results, whether
they be* attained by the Spartan
arms or American 'energy. If wp
degire a well constituted republic, wo
should rogard the advice of Aenophen
who says, “You must first procure
men of the greatest talents to make
the laws; then the good will punish
the bad and consult on what is most
beneficial to the commonwealth aud not
allow persons like madmen to consult,
harangue and address public nsoeiii-
blicj. It is not uecpssarv that all the
men of the greatest talents should-
make the laws, for as Socrates never
sought to take part iu the administra
tion of public affairs but said, “by for
ming good citizens I more ellcctually
tendered my country the service l
owe it,"so I say to you, you may well
dsiclmrgc the highest duty vc;i p ( i'cio
your country by aiding 'iu lormiug
good citizens and by refusing to dabble
in the muddy aud dangerous waters
of politics.
I say to you as Peridecs said to the
king, “Be just iu all yqpj.
faithful ip all your word's, and rcmcm-
•bpr ihat thousands of witnesses have
their eyes fixed upon you.” And
whether you follow Socrates or Per
cies lot me enjoin upon you to seek to
purify and perpetuate the Republic,
to practice the beautiful rites of hospi
tality, to seek to attain all that was
most excellent in laws, life j»nd art,
aud never to forget, that
Him, only him Hie shield of Jove defends
Whose means are fair and spotless as his epds.
At the conclusion of the address,
which was listened to throughout
with the utmost attention, the exer
cises were closed with the rendition on
the pianno bv Miss Florrie Pittman,
of “Golden Days.”
THE MITCHELLCHANGES HANDS.
Mrs. M. A. Bower and Manager Davies,
of the Pincy Woods, Secure a Five
Year Lease on It.
Negotiations have boon going on
quietly for some time between Mr. T.
C. Mitchell, tho owner of the famous
Mitchell House, and Mrs. Bower aud
Manager Davies, of the Piney Woods,
looking to a lease of the Mitchell.
These negotiations culminated before
Mrs. Bower left for the West. The
lease papers have been drawn up,
signed and delivered. . The new les
sees will run the Mitchell the coming
season as well ns the Piney Woods.
It sounds familiar to hear Mrs. Bower’s
name coupled with the Mitchell. She
gave to the old Mitchell much of its
popularity. To her executive ability
and excellent management, is due,
largely, the popularity which lias
clung to the Mitchell through all of
its changes. Mr. Davies lias devel
oped into one of the best known and
most popular hotel managers in the
South. His management of the Pincy
Woods hotel, and years of training in
the most popular summer hotels at
the North, have made him perfectly
familiar with every detail of the busi
ness. We do not hesitate to predict
for the Mitchell a brilliant and suc
cessful future under its new manage
ment.
A Lost Ring Found.
Mrs. Jcrone Bcnhaimcr, a northern
lady who spent the winter here three
seasons ago while returning north lost
her wedding ring between here and
n ayeross She reported her loss to
Conductor Ballard, who has been un
successful in tracing it until a lew days
ago, when it was found at the 136
mile post by a resident there, and was
identified by certain letters upon it.
Mr. Ballard is anxious to have it re
turned to the lady, but has lost the
address and thinks, perhaps, seme one
in the city may be acquainted with it.
IVe would he glad to forward address,
if left at this office.
Important Meeting.
The alumni of State University, in
Thomasville, the local liar, faculty
and trustees of our two colleges, mem
bers of council, and other invited

ing, at 4 o’clock, at tho Library, for
an interchange of views on matters
pertaining to the educational interests
of our community.
Steward's Meeting.
The stewards of the M. E. church
are requested to meet this evening at
5 o’clock at the office of Mr. Jas. I*\
Evans, for the transaction of usual

deference to the exercises at college
