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- Mr. Glareuce Foster, a hat drum mer from Baltimore, is stopping at the Stuart. Mr. T. P.

It goes without snvliter tlmf nirnrv r»n A iq nlpfuorl tn 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 guest", will meet Dr. Boggs this even ing, at 4 o’clock, at tho Library, for an interchange of views on matters pertaining to the educational interests of our community.
