AN ATHENS CHRONICLE
Number Twenty-Three
A statewide ‘‘rookus” was raised
in the fall of 1829 by newspaper at
wicks upon the University of Geor
gia which, it was charged, was do
ninated by the Presbyterians and
the Troupites.
A correspondent of ‘The Macon
Telegraph was the first to let loose
. verbal onslaught against the state
college here,-and pretty soon others
joined in the fray, pro and con,
with the opponents of the Univer
ity conducting their side of the
pattle anonomously.
| The author of the letter in the
Telegraph claimed that Franklin
college was becoming more un
popular with the people, that it
was an institution expressly calcu
jated for the dissemination of sec
tional, sectarian and party doc-‘
trines—that it was an enormous
drain on the treasury of the state
4nd that hundreds of thousands of
dollars already had been ‘“squan
dered” upon it, to “little apparent
atility”” With all this, the college’s
detractor charged, “still dts friends
and supporters are as clamorous as
ever for money— they urge that a
new chapel is required,hat some
new professorships are wanted, that
the library wants increasing, that
the president wants a new dwelling
the president ants an new dwelling
house; that one professor wants a
new smoke and another a new kitch
en—all at the expense of the state
treasury.”
“Great disatisfaction prevails
among the people, because of the
entire sectarian character of the
institution,” the Telegraph's cor
respondent went on to report.
“When the college was endowed, it
was intended that the three sects
of Christians who are most num
erous in the state should be equally
represented in the college govern
ment—but what is the fact?
“The presidential chair and all
the professors seats are filled by
Preshyterians, the least numerous
demonstration in the state; while the
Raptists and Methodists, who com
prise the main body of professing
Christians are deprived of all its
advantages. The board of trustees,
it is believed, are all Presbyteriansl
—of course, we cannot wonder that
the whole institution is under Pres
byterian control, How our Bap
tist and Methodist friends can put
up with this state of things I can-
not divine.”
Just what was behind this at
tack? Perhaps the attacker was a
Methodist or Baptist, who believed
the Presbyterians were having too
much to do with managing the
University, or perhaps he was a
shrewd member of the Clark party
trying to bust up control of the
board of trustees by the Troup
party by inciting the Baptists and
Methodists aginst them. In the
opinion of The Athenian he was a
“kind of Sir Peter Popinjay who
must needs busy himself with the‘
college and with politics and with
t thousand other matters of which
lie knows about as much as of the
hones of Thomas a Becket, and
something less than of those of
Tom Paine and must write letters
to printers on the oceasion and
state absurdities for facts. and ab
solute falsehoods for truth.
“We feel it our duty to correct
such statements, and to see that
the public mind sustains no mlurs"
rom them. As a matter of fact,
“three of the trustees—aye, reader,
Three—three out of seventeen—one
sixth of the whole number, and a
lraction over, are Presbyterians —
and no more! Three rule four
teen, and among them such stub
born stuff as George M. Troup and
others of a like spirit;”

Senator Recommends
That Airways Reduce
Foreign Mail Rates
WASHINGTON. —{&)—Senator
Black (D.-Ala.), chariman of the
senate air mail committee, said
today he would favor legislation
forcing Pan-American Airways to
take a 25 percent reduction in for
eign maily rates if the concern re
fused to accept a post office rec
ommendation for such a cut.
He made this comment on a re
port of Postmaster General Farley
to President Roosevelt on the de
partment’s inquiry into foreign
air mail contracts. The report
was transmitted to the senate
yesterday.
It recommended a 25 percent
reduetion in rates the govern
ment pays for mail carrying and
a re-routing of schedules. This, it
said, would save the government
$2,084,669 annually. It advised
against cancellation of the con
tracts, although it said all of them
were subject to cancellation be
cause they were “awarded as a
result of negotiation and not by
competitive bidding as provided
by law.”
All seven foreign air mail con
tracts are_held by the Pan-Amer
jcan Airways and its associate, the
Pan™- American - Grace Airways,
Inc. Six of the routes run from
the south to Latin American coun
tries, and the seventh, from Ban
.gor, Maine, to Halifax, N. S. The
latter route has not been operated
since September, 1931, ¥

struction in Five States
Is Requested Today
WASHINGTON.—(#)—A request
for $17,071,388 to finance 36 army
base construction projects in five
states was left at work relief
headquarters today by the War
department.
The work proposed would be

Simultaneously, the Labor de
partment asked $400,000 for re

relief jobs and in private indus
try. The department said it would
use this money to carry on stud

Market Bulletin was received to
day by Commissioner of Agricul
ture Tom Linder.
It came from I. S. Hopkins of
Danielsville, Ga., who commend
ed Linder and the Bulletin “for
the splendid position you are tak
ing for the farmer of Georgia ani
the agricultural interests of the
state generally ~ . .”
Planning a new editorial on
phases of the AAA for next week's
issue of the Bulletin, which is
thieatened with loss of second
class mailing privileges, Linder
said the federal government “has
an arbitrary right to subject the
Pulletin to certain mailing regu
dations but legally it has nothing
to do with it.”
He said the federal law “ecannot
touch my publication as long as it
does not violate the state statute.”
The ultimatum from the post
office was brought on by an edito
rial signed by Iflnder unden\ the
heading “Mr. Wallace Makes
