Atlanta, Nov.’ - 2.—Commissioner
of Agriculture Thomas 0. Hudson
has returned from Waycross, where
he inspected the government syrup
refinery, and announces that he will
recommend It* acceptance by the
dtate of Georgia, to whom It ha*
been tendered' free of cost, provided
tbe state will cotatlnue to operate'It
la connection with the experiment
farm.
"The offer seems a good one to
me,” said Mr. Hudhon. "The plant
and property are eUelly worth $35,-
000, and I shell recommend Us ac
ceptance by the state. 1 will makfi
my recommendation to the board ot
trustees ot the state experiment *Uri
tlon at Its meeting on January U."
The refinery wn* established some
years ago by the government to show
tbe people of South Georgia the class
of syrup that can be made from cane
grown In that section. It ha* been
established that the Georgia' cane
makes the beat syrup to' he obtained,
and tho farmer* in Ware and ad
joining counUes have learned valua
ble leasone from the refinery.
Having served Ijl purpose, the
government, through an act ot con
gress, hA offered;the plant,and ad-
* 'Jacont farm to the state free ot all
costs, provided the state will agree
to continue the operation ot the re-'
finery and the cultivation of cane.
worih of return In buildings .equip
ment In service and mental and mor
al development of tbe boys and girls,
Ths schools in time and tendency
should conform to ' local ideas.
Tepchers should’ give thslr Individual
attention to teaching and allow noth
ing site to Interfere with their du
ties. It has a right to a full know
ledge of the school and a minute
knowledge ot the Individual pupil'
belonging to each.
The average par
ent Is Interested in the school, tbe
progress of the ehttd and the teach
er, but hie attitude Is passive. The
true teacher will adjust hlmaeU to
community life, and become a force
In the community. Tet he must not
become fixed In hls environment, nor
lots n narrow unlveree, or move
a!60g line* of least resistance. Find
something of more value In the boys
ahd girls than tbe tact that they have
mattered tbe multiplication table, go
Into the homes ot the parents, snd
the teacher will noon enlist sympa
thy, Interest and cooperation of all.
This larger adjustment of onesielt
to the school Sind’ community life
will Insure partnership on the part
ot teacher and patron. Failure to
recognise the rights of all partlei
concerned In tbe school policy Is the'
cause of most school troubles; this
failure means lack of adjustment on
the teacher’s part.
Mr. Merritt’s Talk.
Tbe talk ot Superintendent Mer

an hour and n halt held the cloee
interest of nil. The state superin

and he paid special attention to chil

manner by tapt' Maclean, whose
hvery word breathed pride In Geor
gia ini her educational system.
Mr. Merritt congratulated Thomas

NOT COMING HERE.
To the regret of Thomasvllle peo
ple the Board of Trustees ot the new
kgrieultural college for the Second
Congressional district will not meet
In Thomuvllle.
Tbe city offlclals
and the Board of Trade extended to
them an Invitation to' do *6 several

time that the Invitation would be ac
cepted, but the Governor decreed
otherwise.
Instead of coming to Thomasvllle
the trustees will convene In Albany
on the nineteenth of this month. It
Is said that the reason Albany was
selected’ Is because It la nearer the
tenter of tbe district and wonld be
more convenient for the majority of
the trustees.

Prof. Searcy Spooks.
Prof. J. S. Sesroy of Meigs, whom
Cnpt Maplean Introduced at a. "de
voted teacher of long experience,"
spoke on ’’the Necessity of Culti
vating a Taste for Reading and
Schdol Literature.” He spoke in n
terse lively and epigrammatic atyle
that evoked warm applause from hls
auditor*. He aald that reading Is
the most Important of til branches
and the door to all knowledge. Yet
notwithstanding this It |s thb legit
taught- of' all tho branches More
time should be devoted to the study,
and In the tew cnee* where the old
singsong repetition survived,
should he done away with. The
Professor cited from hie own exper
ience at Center HIU to show that
there Is a great opportunity to sow
tbe seed of a love for good literature
and that the children will build a
taste for the particular kind of read
ing the teacher urges. He purchas
ed some books 'on history ,and be
fore the session closed every pupil In
school had read all tbe hooka and
had formed a lasting taste for histor
ical literature.
"The mayor wrote the minister a
letter on Monday declaring that he

Tyson replies to this letter In n man

tention. Mr. Tyson says In hie let
ter that at the business place of tho
Big Springs Distilling Company tho
successor to tho Savannah Grocery
Company of which Mayor Myers was
president he found a sign reading,
"H. Myers A Bro.” and he concluded
that the mayor was still a member
of the firm.
"The letter end* with this craek-
'Wbat Is still more unfortunate

The mayor Informs Mr. Tyson that
he must cease giving publicity to tho
statement that he, the mayor, en
gaged In selling liquor, or that he
owns an Interest Jn a liquor house, or
bo guilty ot circulating a malicious
falsehood. Mr: Tyson declines to
give the letter out for publication.
August Johnson a Swede, snd
formerly' an employee of the Bar-
num A Bailey circus. Is lying at the
City Hospital with a shattered leg
and badly,mashed fingers as the re
sult of being thrown from a fast
moving train near Lambrille about
five miles from this city.
Johnson Is In such condition that
In all probability his leg will have to
be amputated. He is In the care
of Dr. Daniels and Dr. Ainsworth.
Johnson and hls friend Otto Rus
sell, decided to leave the circus here
after being payed off Wednesday.
They wished, however, to reach a
seaport town so got the permission
of one of the watchmen on the train
to ride with the circus as tar ns Val
dosta.
When a few miles ont of towa they
were discovered by another employee
of the circus and ordered off. Rus
sell succeeded In making a safe lend
ing. Johnson says he would have
been squally fortunate but for the
brutal treatment of the man who
ordered him off. While etlll ding
ing to the rail to catch hls balance
before making the leap he claims
this man stepped on hie fingers and
forced him to turn loose. Hls
fingers are badly mashed. It Is
supposed that hls leg struck a switch
board.
Russell built a fire and made
everything as comfortable as possi
ble until morning when they were
discovered and brought to town by
William Pflester a prosperous farmer
from near Lambrille.
