State Agent Joseph S Stewart Is
going about over the state in the inter
est of the University of Georgia and
-plendid report* are coming from all
along his ronte.
A few days ago Mr. Stewart was at
Thomasville and the Times Enterprise
of that city had the following account
of his visit:
Prof. J. S Stewart, state agent of the
Uoiveralty of Georgia, was in the city
yesterday in tne Interest of that institu
tion Mr. Stewart is a genial and cnl
tnred gentleman and he received a cor
dial weloome from the alnmoi in thia
city.
Mr. Stewart is thoroughly imbued
with University spirit and speaks iD
glowing term* of the present conditions
and bright fatnre of the University. In
the course of a conversation Mr. Stew
art stated that “the University under
the management of Chancellor Hill is
enjnyiDgtkkConfldenco of the people
and greater success than ever before
It* professors are men of high scholar
ship and deep piety, and active in their

Dr. I S Hopkins, once president of
Emory, Dr. Walden, Dr. Beatty, and
others; and the weekly Y. M. O. A
meetings, the moral atmosphere conld
scarcely be excelled. It»is a privilege
tor a boy to be under Dr. Hill. To these
excellent conditions most be added the

No investment he conld ever make will
give him sornnch for so small an outlay
and will bring bc rich a return in after
years I have never seen a man with-
ont higher training who did not feel
that he conld have done more with bet

bis best will do a better best than the
other man without that knowledge and
oolinre. The college bred man, while
he will have to start at the bottom, will
go farthest.rise highest and be the leader
In commercial, indnstrial and admin
istrative affairs. The classical, scientific
and agricultural courses, and the schools
of law and pharmacy are unexcelled in
the South At'antio states. This is also
trne of the engineering conrses offered
at the Tech.
The University is a hundred years
old. Over 5,000 men have goue ont
from Its halls Into positions of honor
and trnst. It is an inspiration and a
source of constant help to a boy to be
graduated from snch a well equipped
institution and to be numbered among
Its graduates.
Among those now living in Thomas
ville who have attended the University
are Hon. S. G. McLendon, E. M. Mai-

of the magoificlent sum of $401,671..
The tax values cf Olarke oounty for
the year 1902 as shown by the digeet
were $C.C09,344, while the digest this
year shows total values to the amount of
$8,879,815. Last year's digest had on it
the $118,00 returns of the Athens Elec

made direct to the comptrollor-general.
Hence the increase in this oonnty is
that muoh more than the fignres would

Among the most Interesting figure*

The showing-made by the tax books is
a source of nuuth gratification to the
life. It is confined to no one class nor
to no one part of the county. The city
has shown an increase and the county
has come np proportionately.
DariDg the past year there has been
a-considerable amount of building, sev
eral new manufacturing plants have
been started, and farm lands have also
incressed in value. Since the spring
there havo been a large nnmber of im
provements that have gone on that will
appear on the next digest next year, and
connting tho increases already in sight
there are enough to make the increase
for the next year cqaal to that for the
year. When the time comes for the
giving in of taxes next year in Clarke
oonnty the increase will not fall far
short, if any, of the million dollar mark.
There are now in Bight improvements
to the amount of fully three hundred
thousand dollars in addition to those
that have already been started, and
there is under contemplation improve
ments within the next year that will
add at least one million dollars to the
tax values of this county.

Considerable Improvement

The Athens Gas Company is making
several improvements at its plant in this
city. Mr. J. A. Hodgson, the superin
tendent, is superintending these im
provements and hopes to havo them
completed by the first day of September.
Six new reterta are being added in the
place of the five retorts that have been
in UBe at the plant, and a number of
minor improvements are being made.
The live old retorts will not be de
stroyed, but will be kept for cases of
emergency. With this new addition to
the equipment of the plant, the Athens
Gas Company is in position to quadru
ple the amount of saleable gas in Ath

point, and at the same time to give the
public better servioe than ever before.

Daring the vacation period there is
beinft d«*ne considerable repair work on
the several school buildings throughout
the city. The roofs are being repaired
aud all leaks stopped, the rooms are be
ing whitewashed and all the necessary
interior repairs are being made so as to
render them thoroughly attractive, and
when the school term opens the school
buildings will be in the very best con
dition.
The board of education with the
amount of money at their dispossal have
been unable to provide any more room
for the schools. More room is badly
needed, but the schools will have to
wait a while yet until the city’s funds
for that purpose are a little larger.
MORE PAYING
DURING THIS YEAR
From City Engineer Barnett it is
learned tbat there is very little proba
bility of any street work of a permanent
nature being done during the remainder
of the present year. The wish of the
conncil is to macadamize several of the
nnpaved streets of the city, bnt it is
not deemed advisable to commence this
work nntil next spring.
Next year, however, it is probable
that there will be several of the impor
tant nnpaved streets of the city provid
ed with macadam.
Y'esterday morning at the chapel Dr.
James L. Hughes, of Toronto, Oanado,
delivered a most interesting address to
the Sommer School teachers on the sub
ject of corporal punishment. His ad
dress was a strong plea for the discard
ing of the coercive plans of parents and
teachers, and what he had to say was
in line with the argument that coercion
tends to dwarf the child instead of giv
ing him that development that is ntoea-
sary to the making of the man.
Dr. Hughes urged parents to interfere
less with the rights that their children
possess, and to place themselves more in
touch with their children by taking
more interest in their sports and their
desires, instead of dwarfing them by a
continnal policy of "don’t,” "quit.”
“stop,” and like expressions.
He gave a number of instances to
prove that the best results are gained in
those schools where there is no oorporal
punishment. He emphasized the point
that he was as mnch in favor of order
and obedience in the school room as any
man oonld possibly be, bnt that his
studies on the snbject and his observa
tion had led him to the conclnsion that
no good was to be obtained from oorpor
al punishment and that on the other
hand mnch harm to the ohild’s develop
ment resulted from that practice.
Dr. Hnghes has been lecturing to the
Summer School throughout the entire
week and he has made a profound im
pression npon all the teachers who havo
heard him. He concludes his lectures
here tomorrow.
This morning qnite a large nnmber of
the teachers will go down to Smithonia
to see the big farm of Hon. James M.
Smith.
