He found that the bankers and brokers of London charged ten percent to carry merchants selling to Americans.. They kept alive old animosities, claiming that Ameri cana were lawless rebels who were likely at any time to break out into rebellion ana repudiate their obliga tions. This was to justify a high rate of interest nnd perpetuate their practice. “jiy thia time, George Peabody knew American business and Its men. He proposedito finance Lon don Sales to Americans for five percent exactly half the London rata. He in ao doing turned bis money over four times a year, and thus soon found himself amassing a great fortune.

It was the Peabody influence that saved us much during Reconstruc tion days. Peabody was attacked by Harrisson and others. Barns Sears, the Agent of the Fund, tho from Massachusetts, was accused of heing “one of the veriest dough faces in the whole Southern re gion.’’ It was the Peabody influence through Sears that forced Ben But ler to omit from hia famous "Civil Rights Bill” the section establish ing mixed schools for the races. He convinced the President that such a clause would ruin the free school system, and deprive not only the negro but the poor whites of an education. Butled wu thus forced to omit the clause. “The building constructed on the University campus with the Pea body- appropriation is known as George Peabody Hall. It is a sub stantial structure plain but attract ive in outer vopearance, and for convenience, beauty, and pedagogi cal. adaption its inner structure is unsurpassed on this cimpus. A bronze tablet with the buzt of George Peabody should be given by the State of Georgia and placed In this building. Then the insnir- ing story ot the life of George Pea body should be told to the succeed, ing generations of the children of the “Old South”, for this was a man.” PICKfcTERS SUSTAINED IN REFEREE’S FINDING NEW YORK—A referee’s find ing was made yesterday by Prof. I.
