Editor Again referring to the division of the 200 acres^of land costing a total of $400 so that A would receive back again his advanced $200 in bottom land at $2.25 per acre, and B to re ceive back again his advanced $200 in upland at $1.75 per acre, I would repeat that according to my belief Prof. R, C. Ingalls’ figuring is surely inoorrect, as by his divisions of this land and paying back these two debts of $200 each, he may give each claimant a certain portion of land and each piece equal in value $196 87A but then A and B would loose $3.12} on his debt, as already shown yester day. So this proposition won’t do in this case. t . Now replying to the answer of Prof. C. O. Slubbs, I say: That, Is A agrees to take his $200 in bottom land at $2.25. rod B agrees to take his $200 in upland at $1.75 per acre; 8 9 acres of-bottom land at S2 25 amounts surely to $200, and A would in this way be paid back, but B was to take his share in upland at $1.75 and the remainder of land (1111-9 acres) at $1.75 would amount to only $194.44, and as it shows nowhere and is neither even implied aiaywhere that B shou’d receive some land at $2 25 p<*r acre and receive some Jand at 81 75 per acre, this figuring and solution which may have been worked out according to equity ar.d the best- it might be done, but under the cir cumstances, is neither correct, because B would receive tw'o different kinds of land. I h ivo endeavored to get a correct answer, but have so far also failed, and must therefore believe that some of tbe figures in tbe original problem are not correctly given. ’ Yours truly.

Attention is called to the advenise- ment elsewhere of Mr. W. H. Burch. Mr. Burch represents one of the best monument firms ia the country and those needing anything in this line wou'd do well to see him.

It is sur rounded by a pretty flower garden, on one side a store and shooting gal leiy and on the other a tennis court, and Steve says he will entertain the colored elite of the south this season. He days his place will strictly be first- class and here are some of his hotel rules: No intoxicated persons Willbe entertained; no intoxicated persons allowed to enter the hotel; no obeeene or vulgar language allowed on the premises; guests are. expected to settle weekly; guests without baggage must pay in advance; no gambling will be permitted.

Morning News drew was thift the company expected a donation of some sort fiom Savannah, 'it seems this inference was not correct. The company says it is ar-kfng nothing.

We see that the $2\ and $1$ is not given in the problem ss the worth of an acre of land for each. Then what is it given for ? manifestly to show the ratio of division. Neither A nor B ought .to complain at this equitable division, as neither suffers lose. Possibly when they bought the land it was not. wdrlh $400, but only $393.75. dL C. Ingalls. A Pretty Scene.

Cairo, Qa., May 5th, 1893. Capt. Triplett : Please allow me space, 1st, to agree with “One of Old School” and Prof. Stubbs that the solution of laud prob lem as given by Prof. Ingalls is incorrect. 2nd, to ' prove that the solution offered by ' Prof. Slubbs is incorrect. 3rd, to prove that the example cannot be solved upon the hypothesis that A gets $200 worth of laud at $2.00 per acre, and that B gets $200 worth of land at $1.75 per acre. According to Prof. Stubbs, A gets 88 S 9 acres at $2.25 per acre. This much is correct. Now he gives B 100 acres at 81 75"per acre, and he also gives B the remaining 11 1 9 acres at $2 25 per acre. This is con trary to hypothesis that B pays but 81-75 per acre. It B pays for the remaining 11 1-9 acreslat $1.75 per acre, it amounts to $19.44 4 9, which makes a-total for both A and Bof $394.44 4 9, leaving a shortage of $5.55 5 9 to B’s credit. Again, if there is 100 acres of up land and 100 acres of bottom land, then A can get $200 worm of bottom land at $2.25 pet acre, and B can get the remaining 111-9 acres at same price and the 100 acres at $1.75 per acre, making the total $400. But the hypothesis ' is that B pays but $1.75 per acre. Therefore tbe solu tion is incomct. Now to prove that tbe problem cauuot be solved— It $200, tbe amount expended by each in the pm chase, be divided by the price per acre paid by each, then we will have the number of acres to which each is entitled, if the prob lem is solvable the total must be the 200 acres. But upon this division, we find that receives 88 8 9 acres and that B receives 114 2-7 acres, making 3 11-63 acre3 aboye the total 200 acres.' Again, if we take tho answer of Prof. Ingalls, which is correct, if the example were not un&olvable, A ccives $74 acres and B 112A acres, which according * to ' “One of Old School ’ makes a total of $393.75 It is not a correct problem, because it untrue. Very respectfully, T. H. Parker. community. Sagacious, public spirited and pa triotic, Col. Wright was quick to discern, and prompt to advocate every enterprise that promised advancement iu the arts of civilization and pro gress; aud so he was among the first to recognize the inestimable good that would accrue to the j>eople of his city and section, from the establishment in our midst of an institution, char tered and equipped for extending the discipline afforded *by the state, through its system of public schools; and though himself untrained in uni versity, or cellege, yet he rightly ap preciated tbe inexpressible importr once of such training, alike to the in dividual citizen and to tbe state. Ob' servation had taught him that to a peo pie situated like ours “a little learn ing is indeed a dangerous thing,” and. he became quickly conspecious among Thomasville, Ga., May 6th, 1893. Mr. Editor : _ In regard to your problem, which is puzzling the minds of so many, ‘let U3 hear, the conclusion of the whole matter.” I think wo can rive at this without making a single figure. I understand that you ask for a solution. Nothing can claim to be a solution except it be in accord ance with the conditions given. No question can be entertained respect ing intentions unexpressed. That is a guess and not a solution, which de parts fiom the letter of the problem, Therefore he ought not to be heard who advances a proposition contrary the. expressed conditions. If these conditions—one and all—can not be satisfied, then the - question is reduced to an'absurdity, and there should be no further discussion Cadit quaeatio. Very respectfully, Jno.F. Parker. A suggestion: A method as good, far simpler, just as much in accord* once with the conditions of the prob lem, and more in accordance with the times, would give to each his own, in this way: There are evidently 100 acres of pcor land and 10O acres of poorer land. Now let A take the poor land at $2.25 per acre and B the poorer land at $1.75 per acre. Then let A pay B $25.00 in cash if he has it or can borrow it, and if neither,.then let him give his note and mortgage on the poor land. J.F.P. Wilson Palmer. Wilson Palmer, tho noted 'Thomas county safe' burglar, has been at "his devilment again. Together with nine others he made a bold attempt at an escape from Dade coal mines the other afternoon. Several of the con victs -were wounded—unfortunately Wilson was not hit—and the escape was prevented. Williams, from .De catur, in the pen for murder, was one of the tan. lie was shot by the guards and may die. Sara Merritt, colored, of Decatur, was shot in the arm. Wilson, it will be remembered, was sent up for twenty years for burglary from this county. Some thing like one year ago he attempted to^8eape. In the melee one of the guards was killed. For this offense Wilson was sentenced for life. The chances are that he will escape or be killed in tbe attempt. Ex-sheriff Hurst carries a large minnie ball on his watch chain, which Wilson planted in him when the sheriff, ar rested him in Mitchell county. Wil son fa a bad one.

Sensi ble also of the impossibility of provid ing by private contribution or local assessment, tbe funds necessary for carrying out this beneficent design, he united at once, with other humane and public spirited citizens, ia an o3ort to secure patronage and assist ance from the state; and deeming it indispensable to the largest success of their undertaking, that the tuition to be furnished should be free; and at the same time appreciating the diffi culty iu procuring a direct appropria tion by the legislature, he and those who were co operating with him, de termined to obtain a charter, erect a suitable building, and then petition the legislature to empower the trus tees of the State University to accept the foundation thus provided, and to appropriate annually out of “the land- scrip lumi” such sum as they might deem sufficient to pay the teachers employed. In accordance with this plau the legislature was induced to pass au act conferring the desired authority ou the University Board, and in June 1879, within a few months alter this act was approved, the beautiful plateau of eight acres, which had been generously donated by the clergy and laity of the South Georgia Conference, with tho band- some aud commodious structure thereon erected, largely through tbe liberality of individual citizens, was tendred to and accepted by tbe Uni versity Trustees; and “the South Georgia College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts” became an in tegral part of the state university— subject to its control, and entitled to its patronage. Long before this, however, and when tbe enterprise had scarcely taken definite shape, CoL Wright had been fixed upon by his associates, a? the most suitable person to preside over the new school o* superior instruction, and this choice haviog been with great unanimity confirmed by tho local and University Boards, he accepted the high trust, and ior nearly fifteen yeara directed its destinies, bringing it to such a stale of usefulness and efficiency as attracted students from other states, thus vindicating and rewarding the wise foresight that planned, and the skill aud sacrifices that erected and maintained it. Mindful oi -these things, we, his associates, surviving members of the board over which he presided so long and so faithfully, do now declare that to his unselfish efforts and wise administration is chiefly dne, whatever good has resulted to our people, from the establishment in oar city, oi this most beneficent insti- tion, and it is therefore Resolved, That while deploring most deeply the calamitous event that has deprived us of his skillful guid ance and prudent counsel, we do not forget the greater loss of those on whum the stroke has fallen more heavily, and that we tender to his covered, but has lost his voice to a great extent.
