A BOOST FOB EDUCATION.
The interesting contest for the ag
ricultural college of the Second Con
gressional district Is over, and Tift
county Is 1 tbo winner. It spent
490,000 to-get Ihe college. This
speaks woll for the public -spirit and
wide awake condition of the people
of the new countv of Tift
It loo.-., like ft 290,090 hsl,*-
the catch of a ,$8,000 fish Is a re
versal of the ntnal order 'of things.
And 28,000 per year Is all the In
come that the Institution will re
ceive from the state. Bnt the col
lege Is sure to be a success, for
with the spirit that made the dona
tions behind it, It could not be other
wise.
In reality the provision! of the
bill altord but little help to thsesO
colleges. The Income Is not suf-
detent for maintenance. But the
bill has done great good because It
has awakened an Interest In agri
cultural education all over' the
state, and has led the people to see
the desirability of such schools. For
instance there is Wuycross, that dis
appointed In her endpavor to se
cure the agricultural college has de
cided to go ahead and have one on
her own hook, and has diverted the
subscription to that purpose,
fact any tfbe of the bidden laid
such a foundation for success that
they could support a college without
state aid of any kind.
In all probability though, If the
attendance justifies, the state will
increase Its appropriation to the
schools. If they ,are successful In
attracting (be young men of the
surrounding communities, If they
are good, schools, they will > get
plenty of help. A good school al
ways d04(.
The appointments Of the governoi
were .wise ones and the trustees. In
this district, at lenst, are splendid
men. They have a delicate task In
fostering the growth and prosperity
of the schools and they will do It
well. If the Idea of the bill is car
ried out the students will combine
theoretical with the practical and
will actually do the farm work'
about the place. . This will be the
beef way to teach them how It
ougbf to he done. One thing Chat Is
the matter with out southern coun
try 1> that we all want to do the
brain work and none of ifs care to
tackle the manual labor. But we
alight ai> woll make up our mlnde to
It, had negro labor Increase* In cost
nnd decreases in cfilcioncy, thnt the
white people must do tholr own
work.
Therefore the gospel we ought to
preach nnd the seng we nil ought to
sing Is the dignity of honest toll, be
Is done with the head or with the
bands.
That is what we hope the agricul
tural colleges will do.

The School Libraries.
The school library does awake an
Interest In the pupil. It give* him
a good appetite: It stimulates. It
opens (he channels of usefulness. It
has a powerful tendency to ,keep the
boy In school longer, an d thus Ih tbs
above enumerated ways aids in- the
dcvolopcment of those traits of his
character that will be- beneficial to
the women and men of the future
and also to those with whom they
come In contact through social and
and business life.—Valdosta Times.
That Is Just the kind of a school
library that tbo Tlmes-Enterprlse- Is

BREAKING THE STRIKE.
Coast Line Claims to Have Bested
Switchmen at Wayeross.
Wayeross, Ga., Nov. 20.—Several
men arrived here tonight to take the
places of the striking switchmen
and switch foreman and it seems
' that tho railroad yard troubles
here will be straightened out within
a day or two.
The condition of the yard tonight
is really better than it has been for
some time, which is accounted for
by the fact that (he company has
sidetracked most of the freights
routed for Wayeross or forwarded
them to their destination by some
other route. The yard force today
has been composed of three new
men from Charleston, several con
ductors, the general yardmaster
and the trainmaster, but with this
small force the yard has been clear
ed of perishable freight, and a num
ber of trains were sent out.
The negro switchmen, ho went
out with their foremen, returned to
work tonight, and with the new men
who arrived on the afternoon trains
and those expected tomorrow it is
