notified by State School Commissioner

charge of the subject of history, with
an occasional talk on the science and
practice of teaching in the Peabody

The Peabody Institute.
Commissioner McLean is kept pret<
ty busy now making the preliminary
arrangemeta for the Peabody Institute
which will be held in this city com-
mtneing on the 17lh of July. This
institute irfor all of South Georgia
and the attendance will douhtUss be
very large. Several of the Sonth
Georgia counties wilt hold their an
nual county institutes in conjunction
with the Peabody. Five counties
fiave already decided to do this and
it is likely that others will follow suit,
as the advantages and opportunities
for learning in the Peabody are so
much greater than in the county. In
the latter there will only be one ex
pert or lecturer, while the former
will have five. Thomas, .Mitchell,
Decatur, Brooks and Colquitt coun
ties have already rigtiiGe.) a vriliiug*
to hold jointly with the Peabody.
State School Conunicsioner Bradwrii
writes that he has ab.*ut decided on
the following faculty for the institute:
Lane, of Atlanta; Frederick, of
Marahalvillc, Mrs. Head, of Milledge-
ville, and Lyncs and Moody of Thom-
It is estimated that between four
and five hundred teachers will be in
attendance on the institute.

Deputy Sheriff Singletary went
over to Cairo Friday afternoon and
brought hack Will Harris, colored,
who is charged with assault with
intent to mnrder, and lodged him in
jail. A few days 8go Harris came
very near killing one of hia fellow
laborers at Venter’s turpentine still
about two and a half miles from Och-
lockonee. The negroe’s numo is

SOUTH GEORGIA COLLEGE.
THE ANNUAL COMMENCE**
MENT EXERCISES.
The Sermon Sunday Morning
and the Drama at the Opera
House Last Night.
^Last Sunday morning witnessed
the opening of another commence*
mentscarcn in Thomasville. These
closing exercises of our colleges are
always looked forward to with inter
est and pleasure, not only by those
who have children or relatives in at
tendance on the schools and are there
fore directly interested, but by the
whole community, and the attendance
at each day or night’s exercises is
only limited by the capacity of the
house. This year the exercises at
both the South Georgia College and
the Young Female College prom
ise to cxcell all previous efforts.. The
programmes that have been arranged
are bright and attractive, and the
students have learned their parts
thoroughly, thereby insuring ail who
feci disclosed to brave the heat, most
interesting, pleasing and instructive
cutertaiumeut.
Sunday morning the South Georgia
commencement sermon was preached
in the chapel of the co'lege the
Rev. W. Woodson Walker, ot Amer*
icus. The large chapel wss com
fortably filled, and had it not been
for‘a shower that fell just before the
services commenced and the threaten
ing aspect of the clouds, which doubt
less deterred many from oomiug out,
the house would have been filled to
t utmost capacity. The beautiful
td impressive Episcopal service was
u.iuctcd by Rev. Mr. LaRoche,
sisted by Rev. Mr. Walker. The
riptural lessons were read by Rev.
A. M. Wynn, of the Methodist and
Rev. D. II. Barker, ot the Baptist
church.
Rev. Mr. Walker then arose and
announced his text, which was taken
the Gth chapter and 14th verse
of the hook of Judges: “Go in this
thy might, and thou shalt save Israel
from the hand of the Midianitcs:
have not I sent thee.” For half an
hour the attention of the large con
gregation was closely held by the
speaker, who handled his subject in
an ab'e and forcible manner.
THE DRAMA LAST NIGIIT.
The entire down stairs of the opera
house was packed last night to wit
ness the production ot the drama:
“The Social Glass.”
Public expectation had, by reason
ot the extensive advertising the play
has received, been worked up to a
high degree, and it is indeed a cini-
pliment to the young ladies and gen
tlemen who took part, as well as to
their teachers, when we say that none
were disappointed, but all pleased
with their acting and the play. “The
Social Glass” is a drama that hfiDgs
out all the bad points of the liquor
traffic and shows in all its liideous-
uess the evil of intemperance. The
tnorai of the play is good and we have
u<» doubt impressed all who saw and
heard it. No fault can be found with
its interpretation by the company
that presented it last uight. Each
one had a good conception of his part,
and tire whole play went off without a
hitch. The following was the cast ot
characters:
ijimrley Thorn ley Carlos Lj-ucs
at'-r Albert Beverly
>1-1 HuJley Charles Pittman
Farley John Watt
Bob Brittle James liopkins
llollis John Stegall
Eva Thoruley Evelyn Mallard
Nett'.e Xcttlcby Emma Mitchell
Mrs. Farley Matsie Evans
Mr. Carlos Lynes, as Charley
Thoruley, the dissipated husband,
end Miss Evelyn Mallard, as Eva
Thornley, the loving and faithful
wile, were the leading characters
tue play, and they acted their parts
iu a manner that showed they possessed
more than ordinary dramatic talent.
Albert Beverly, as Dr. Slater,
played the part of the cool and dig
nified doctor to perfection.
Charlie Pittman, as Harold Hadley,
made a capital worker for the cause
of temperance.
Miss Emma Mitchell, as Nettie
Nettleby, and Miss Matsie Evans, as
Mrs. Farley, acted their parts splen
didly. The former completely cap*
tivated the audience. Her acting
was superb.
The acting of John Watt, as John
Farley, the saloon keeper, was so real
as to cause some of the boys to re
mark than John most have had some
experience in the business.
Nothing but praise can be said of
the work of John 8tegall, who took
the part of the scheming villain, and
Jim Hopkins, the- detective in dis
guise. They both walked the stage as
it to tho manor born.
Between the acts Miss Mary Hicks
entertained the audience with some
beautiful and exquisitely rendered
piano selections.
I The affair was a complete success
and we must congratulate those tak
ing part on the creditable manner in
which everything was rendered.
. There will be a number of declama
tions ...and recitations at the chapel
4hia morning at TO d’clock, and to
night * a variety entertainment
jyill be given at the opera house,
io which an admission of 10 cents will
be charged. # We hope all who can
will attend.

lowed by a Demurest in el a! coutest
which the speakers all did them
selves great credit. Tt:e judges wore
Messrs. F, P. Horn, C. L. Ward and

awarded to Miss Lula Wheeler. Then
dinner was spread, *and enjoyed to
the fullest exleut. It was bouutitul
in quantity and* superior in quality.
For two or three hours the young
folks walked, talked and sang. The
old men grouped under the trees and
formed a fi-h yarn circle, and put lip

it was difficult to decide between
Frank Horn and Nat Turner, hut
finally Mr. G. T. Porter spun a web

A Row m the Bottom
There was quite a row in Sandy
Bottom Saturday night in which
several Cubans and one «.r two
negroes were more or l-.ss hurl It is
impossible to learn the origin ot the
row or the names of ail v h-« • k
part, but there were quire a number
mixed up iu it. It seem-.* t<; have
been a fu-s between the C

quite a number of .-hots wore lired.

put on the works about a year ago for

their sentence, but wero made trus

of the trouble.
Mr. Editor:
\YUh all due rrspict for the views
of thoughtful minds Jo solving-the
“Negro Prob’em,” allow me from the
point of view taken on the coast ol
Africa to advise both the’white and
negro philanthropists and .financial
agents that are urging the,negroes to
return to Africa to use their love and
their ability in this land, and let the
Jjord christianize Africa by white
people as he is doing, and after that
work is well grounded, he will lead
the negro to thq place he now craves
if it be well for him to be there.
With the followers of • Mahomet
brought to the South, and the Chris
tians of the South taken to Africa;
in theory, it look* as if the hand of
God would christianize the two con
tinents at one stroke. In practice
tUie is the picture. I <ee us I havo
seen it in Algiers. The oriental is
stronger in his faith, or superstitions
than the Christian. Instead of ne*
groes transplanted from America be
coming more elevated after reaching
their haven of rest, they would be
more savage than thu Moor or Afri
can and consequently would be as the ’
’negroes are in Algiers—the shiyes' aud
victims of the stronger man, be Le
Moor, or African negro, or French
man. Tho American negro, in a way
a pauper of the United States Gov
ernment, sent out as an exile by
charity would commend no respect,
marries a European loses caste to
theSb prejudices are inherent and not
cultivated, and are intended for some
wise purpose. A visit to the Paris
exposition gave one an insight into
oriental life and Harper’s Weekly of
June 2nd has an admirable article*on
Tangiers. The suggestion to see the
interior of the Algerian booth, and the
expression of disgust at the dancing
is all to true. It is sad to think that
the lowering--influences of the Mid
way Plaissance at the World’s fair are
open to the lower classes not only on
the week days but on Sunday/ We
8?e that Christian women uphold
Sunday desecration in America. We
see the secular press do the same.
We who have seen more of the world,
and know that what the Romans can
do in Rome the polyglot people of
America canuot do in America with
out detriment to the lower classes and
injustice to the higher classes of
Americana who have claims upon
their country for protection under the
cross of Christ as well as the stars and
stripes, pity the iguorance that speaks
so unadvisedly. America must claim
her right to call her people Ameri
cans and force them to accept her
ways or she will lose her prestige as a
great nation, and other Christian
nations will scorn her for her weak
ness in putting her head under their
peasants wooden aud iron heels that

“It wdl be claimed then that by or.

The worthless workman complains ol
