BLALOCK’S PLAN
WHEREBY THE EXPENSES OF 2
UNIVERSITY STUDENT
HUT BE REDUCED.
A Dormitory and Mess Hall
Under Strictest Discip-
- line—An Interesting
Movement. -
Daring th*> visit of the Blslook In-
vestlgatlog committee to Athens a few
days ainoe, the Banner reporter bad a
number of talk* with Chairman Bla
lock.
Mr. Blslook said that he was in nowise
an enemy to the State University and
that he wonld be glad to see a thousand
students in attendance upon that insti*
tntlon.
“Bat,” said Mr; Blaloek, “in my
opinion it ooata too muoh to seonre an
education at the University and the ex<
pensea necessary to be incurred puts a
University education beyond the reaoh
of the poorer young men.
“The University needs to ba brought
down closer to the people, and one of
the main ambitions of my life is to see
the highest education the State affords
pat within the reach of the poorest de
serving boy in the State.”
After Mr. Blalock bad examined into
the affairs of the State Normal School
and had seen how all the expenses of a
student there are brought within seven
dollars per month he Mid this concern
ing the University: "If the Universi
ty authorities will make similar ar
rangements, whereby a student oan he
accommodated at seven or eight dollars
per month as at the Normal School, I
am in favor of the State appropriating
$100,000 per building and equipping a
mess hall and dormitory on the Univer
sity oampns, and that wonld bring a
thousand students to the University.
“Unless snch a movement it inaugu
rated the complaint against the Uni
versity will continne to grow. I know
of a dozen or more young men in my
county of Fayette who would come to
college under this plan, who are now
nnable to come.
“Such an arrangement shonld be per
fected and the enttn college pat under
military discipline so as to insure the
best of order at these dormitories.”
Mr. Blalock’s views were agreed to
by Messrs Berry and Swift, two mem
bers of the committee who were
present.
There is no donbt bat that snob a
,-J movement is destined to be inaugurated
at au eerly date, and when it Is started
it will ba oarrled through to success.

JAPS WANT INFORMATION.
The Imperial Government I* Making In
quiries at hoe Angeles.
Los Angeles, July 29.—The Times
says: “While the majority of the peo-
pie langh at the idea of Japan going to
war with the United States over the
annexation of the Hawaiian Islands,
there u no denying the fact that the
mikado'aud his ministers are making
inquiries’and seeking information con
cerning flie country which they have
never heretofore apparently considered
of value.
“A letter has v been received by a well
known Japanese ia this oity, in,the
shape of a circular of interrogations.
The document came from the state de
partment of the’ imperial government.
Several Japanese of more or less prom
inence were seen regarding the docu
ment. No one would admit that it had
anyparttonlarsigulfiqance at this time.”
Convention at Baltimore Adopt, a Pint,
form nnd -'*ako4 Nomination!.
Baltimore, July 29.—Harmony pre
vailed at the Democratic state conven
tion here, aud it was clearly demon
strated that United States Senator Her
man still has his hand ou the lever that
controls the movements of tiie organi
sation. The candidates nominated by
the convention were selected by him,
and the resolutions adopted were of bu
inspiration. At his request both gold
and silver men waived their convictions
for the once aud voted to adopt a plat
form that declares for bimetallism, bat
is silent as to the questiou of "ratio."
The platform declures that the funda
mental principles of Democracy remain
unchanged; that the Democracy of
Maryland believes now, and has always
believed in “honest money, the gold
and silver money of the constitution
and the coinage of both metals withont
discrimination against- either, into
standard dollars of fluid paymeut and
redemption,” and asserts that the d*
rnandof more than 6,500,000 of Demo
cratic voters forced President McKinley
and a Republican congress to send a
commission abroad to negotiate with
European countries for the restoration
of bimetallism.
The Dingley tariff law is termed a
more odions measure than tho McKin
ley act of 1890. and it is asserted that it
will be iflore signally condemned in
1898 than was the McKinley act in 1803.
A demand is made that the United
States goverment take each action as
will ameliorate the atrocities now being
committed in Cuba and to fully protect
every American citizen there in the en
joyment of hie life and property.
The following state nominations were
made: For comptroller, Thomas A.
Smith of Caroline oonnty; for clerk of
the court of appeals, J. F. Ford, st

MR. SHERMAN TO HOLD ON.
Republican* Say His Retirement Now
Would Complicate Ohio Campaign.
Washington, July 89.—According to
the Washington Star, the members ot
the administration here believe that
Judge Day, assistant secretary of state,
is much more likely than Mr. Reid to
become secretary of state In the event
that Mr. Sherman shonld find it neoes-
sary to‘relinquish the duties of office on
aoconnt of ill health.
Prominent Ohio Republicans believe
that while Mr. Sherman has no present
intention of retiring, he will find it ad
visable to lay down the cares of state
before many months. They say, how
ever, that this would be a most awk
ward time for a change, ou account of
the Ohio oampaign.
It is said there ia already bad blood
between some of Mr. Snerman’s old-
time friends and the supporters of Mr.
Hanna over the wav Mr. Sherman has
bedn treated, and the latter’s retirement
now wonld intensify this feeling. It is
probable, therefore, that affairs id the
state department will ran along as at
present, with Mr. Sherman as the nom
inal and Judge Day as the actual head
of the office.
