College held another meeting yesterday morning, The committee appointed to make report on the applications, had made a thorough canvass of them, and alter a careful weighing ot the merits of each applicant, the chairman reported that the'eommittee had selected Prof. Charles Woodward Hutson, as its choice. He was then elected presi dent of South Georgia College. Prof. Hutson is a graduate of the University of South Carolina nnd after wards taught in Columbia in conjunc tion with Dr, Boggs, now chancellor of the state university. For some years past he has been teaching in Mississippi, and he has made a fine reputation as an instructor and dis- ciplinatian. In a letter written to Col. Wright, chairman of the Board ot Trustees of our college, Dr. Boggs says: “He is a noble and able man one in whom every member of your Board will confide, and admire. He is one to whom you or I would confide a boy of our own, with tbe hope that the association would impress the teacher’s character on the pupil.” This is high praise, coming as it does from one who is himself fine leader and teacher of boys, and therefore, able to discover m others the rare combination that goes to make up the really good teacher. Now that the selection has been made, the people of our city must go to work to hold up the hands of the man that is to lead our college to use fulness. It is understood that IYof.

The melon markets of some of the eastern cities have been weak for the past few days, on account of heavy ibipnicnts and cool weather. There was no break, hut the depression was sufficient to induce the Exchange to stop shipments to New York. There considerable complaint from all the markets on the score of small and green melons, which would seem to indicate that our growers have not yet given up the idea that they can trick the sharpest people in the world into buying green and sma’l melons. If there is one feature of the melon bust ness that will more than miotlier con trol its future success or failure, it is the recognition by the growers of the fact that as long as they crowd the markets with inferior melons, the chances of a certain prolitnre dostroy- It would pay the growers to buy cry poor melon and dump them out the hogs, rather than allow them to to market to injure the sale of good ones.
