Sympathizers with bis race from the North have built and mlowed for our former slaves a num ber of magnificent institutions of leani ng, ami they are o time red, too, with as .killed and learned instructors as the oiinny affords. The advance that jinny black pupils have made is as- otimling to learned Southern gcntlc- Denwlm have visited and inspected these institutions. The fact Has. been ilivailv demonstrated to their minds, that the ne gro is not only capable of receiving an education, but a high and classical education, and that each year these schools are turning out l®mdreds of nn :' and women far better educated than a majority of t he whites with whom they come in contact. On die other hand, but feeble florts are made on the part of tliowhite race to meetjthis progress and improve incut among the blacks. They are de pending upon their God-given mental and social superiority for continued power. Their children, through a false pirit of economy, are kept at wofk and allowed to grow up in ignorance, while the offspring of the blackest negfo that tills their land never misses a day'from (tool, if the whole family must subsist on blackberries. Be it said to the shame of Georgia, that she to-day lias not an institution of learning that can eqt.r.l some of the.ne gro colleges in our midst. These latter bools arc not ohly better endowed and sustained, but are better equipped in all the modern machinery necessary' for imparting a thorough education to their pupils. " henever an effort is made in our legislature to improve or establish a col lege, some miserable Potapjikb Pea- c.i;kk.\, whose ideas are measured hy' a plow-line, starts a crusade with the cry of “class” favoritism; and then men, "ho should have sufficient wisdom and foresight to discern the dangers that threaten them, only too willingly fall into line and permit themselves to be "sed a* clogs upon the brains of tlieir o'vn race, and as levers to elevate the negro. i'here is time enough yet left us for our w hites to hold and maintain their Mipromaey, but each day that thisim portant matter is neglected only adds to the work. I lie Anglo-Saxon, in the mental struggle for supremacy, must fight .his battle with books. The legislature of ouv state must place the weapons in the hand.' of the people. Retire to the rear all niossbacks and croakers. Ample fa edities for the higher and more thor ough education of the whites must he made—our public schools must strengthened and extended. The alarm uuijt be sounded from the peaks of the (fine Ridge to the shores of the Atlan tic—from the waters of the Savannah tothe Waters of the Chattahoochee. ‘Educate your children that they, may continue the dominant race!” must be (he t ry in every hamlet in our state. Ret Georgia, from her treasury, appro priate funds sufficient to build and sus- tain institutions of learning where can he acquired the highest education. Our U niversity must be made into an insti tution that will reflect credit upon not only the Empire State of the South,but upon our great country itself. Suita- Athens has to-day in her midst many distinguished visitors, but none will find a warmer welcome than the dele gation selected from our state legisla ture to visit the University. ) This little band of devoted martyrs— for self-immolated martyrs on the shrine of duty they most assuredly are—merit and receive not only the admiration, but the gratitude of our people. Only think, gentle reader, how your heart would throb and your enthusiasm be fired at the spectacle of a small body of deyoted men, upon the call of duty, starting on a pilgrimage across the des ert of Sahara with only a single quart of water each. Would not you, in your mind, picture the agonizing tortures that these pilgrims hiost suffer? Can not you see the despair and horror writ ten on their faces as drop by drop the precious fluid disappears down their parched throats, until even the damp ened cask is cut up and equally ‘divided among the perishing men \ Rut with a devotion to duty they do not for an in stant think of ret racing their steps, but push onward o’er theburning«and<» un til their goal is reached and their mis sion performed. But these pilgrims across Sahara are notmoretobe pitied or admired than the heroic delegation of martyrs detail ed hy our state legislature to visit the University. Consider that for long months they have abided in a land of plenty, where the mint julip blooms, the cocktail proudly struts around, and all manner of beverages grow as thick as leaves in Valambrosa: where you have but to put a nickel in the slot and a glass of foaming beer bubbles forth and last, but far from least, from a land where the docile goober grows ready parched on every street corner. With a heroic devotion to duty as sub lime as patriotic, these gemietiu*n,with out protest or even a lmimitr, like the true patriots that they are, have turned their backs upon this land of Goshen and arc now making their pilgrimage through this desert of Prohibition. Rut their sufferings have commenced even earlier than they calculated on, for at every step they ineetperishiug travel lers llv the'wayside, and with that tin- elfish generosity characteristic of a leg islator, their meagre store of vitality has been doled out until, like the vase in which roses have once been distilled, only the scent of the rye remains in the flask. But while you can already see appre hension aud despair written upon then- faces in letters of living agony, not a single threat of retreat has been utter ed—likq modern editions Of Uassabiax- ca these gentlemen remain at their post of duty in spite of the perils that assail them. Livingston’s excursion through the Dark Continent—the Old Guard at Waterloo—the heroic band that guarded the path at Thermopy lea—the undiscov ered champion w ho struck Biixy. Pat terson—all pale into insignificance when compared with this band of legis lative heroes who are witching the in terests of our great state in her Univer sity. In the name of Georgia—in the name of charity and pity—yes, in the naive of the star-spangled banner itself—we ap peal to those of our citizens who chance to have an oasis hid out—even if it be not larger tban a quart measure—to share its inviting shades with this per ishing band of pilgrims. Do not let .suffering force them to swerve from their path and waste precious moments searching for the lair of that ferocious beast, the Blind Tiger, which is a native of this region and goes about seeking whom it may devour. Citizens of Athens, you have a noble duty* to perform—a charge to keep you have. Do not let this gallant little band of patriots suffer at your gates. Start up your jug train to the Free State of Madison, where the withering heel of Prohibition has never yet found lodg ment—trot out your hidden sacks of goobers, and let the pareher start his crank! THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLAGE- The last echos of the martial music which celebrated the 100th anniversary of our independence have scarcely yet died out, and the words of those whose eloquence added to the general en thusiasm are yet fresh in our minds. What is it that our country cele brated? We say that it was the 100th anniversary of Washington’s inaugu ration, but it was the first century of Liberty, such liberty as was unknown to man until the thirteen colonies joined hands, and swore to raise sueh a standard as was altogether unknown to the nations of the old world. Patrick Henry touched the key note and the nation took up the sound, and each year the chorus swells,until now a mighty anthem goes up from nearly sixty million hearts, and its burden is the same as it was*when the first feeble note was sounded by the great Vir ginia orator—‘“Liberty or Death.” That watch word “liberty” has become our nation’s motto. We weave it in our banners, we engrave itoit our coins, we carve it on the walls of our nation’s halls, aud we carry it treasured in our hearts. It was for liberty then that our statesmen diligently thought and pon dered, that our orators spoke in the ears of the listening multitudes, and that our soldiers fought and died on bloodyhattlc fields. The question now arises have we found that liberty for which our patriots lbored. In every other respect we have succeeded beyond their expectations, but in this one thing have we fulfilled their fondest hopes? What did they mean by “liberty ?” No't license, cer- ainly, not the throwing oft’ of all res traints, and we have bowed to the tern arbiter, who decided that it was not the complete independence of sover eign states. Then what did they mean ? They evidently incut individual liberty. Each citizen of a great republic free, and untramelled. Freedom of thought, freedom of action. It was for this that our father’s labored, and if we fail to carry on this work, we will be unfaith ful to the great trust committed to our keeping. Now how is this individual liberty to be obtained? The question is a pro found one,but it is marvelously simple. It is by education. The government was made for the people, and not the people for the gov ernment, and by the individual state of its people must we pledge the failure or success of the government. You may found a government, which is theoreti cally perfect. Its laws may be just and wholesome. Its institutions may be without a flaw. But if the people, liv ing under that government are ignorant and unlearned it will be a failure miserable failure. 1 You wrong an ignorant people, and they know of no redress except l# torch and by sword. You wrong an educated people, and they set them selves to thinking, and .think out a remedy. Thomas Jefferson drew up the Dec laration of Independence and then found ed a university. It is a lesson to us, and we should remember it to the end The Banner editor this week hail the pleasure of meeting Chancellor Boogs, of our State University, and never saw a man with whom we were more favor ably impressed. In every lineament of his face is written character—firmness and determination—while his ability is of the highest order. That our State University has now a Head that will raise this grand old in stitution to the enviable standard it should attain, no one who has watched the methods of Chancellor Boggs will doubt. Already has he aroused an en thusiasm for Georgia’s college such as was never before known, and his work and energies will not relax until the University of Georgia becomes the Uni versity of the South. The unprecedented large gathering of the alumni this week, and the interest and enthusiasm they manifest in their alma mater, proves that when the in terest and advancement of this institu tion comes before the legislature, that it will find willing and influential champions hailing from every section of our state. Never were the people of Georgia more aroused to the importance of higher ed ucation, and by his magnetic presence and convincing appeals, C-haucellor Boggs has directed all eyes to our Uni versify—and there seems now to be an almost unanimous determination to upport and build up this institution. But our Chancellor does not intend to rest upon the good work he has al ready done, but shall employ his vaca tion in visiting important central points IRON IN GREENE. RICH MAGNETIGORE DISCOVERED near union point. THE EVIDENCE ALL N. Birmingham Capitalists at Work Mining Shafts Sunk and Pumps Ordered— An Enterprise That vyil Pay Tribute to Athens. Mjr. Bryant, book-keeper for Michael Bros., gives a very interesting account of the discovery of iron near Union Point. It seems that about a year ago two gentlemen from Birmingham, who were aware of Ahe great mineral re sources of Georgia, went to Union Point in search of gold. While hunting for the precious metal, they accidentally discovered traces of iron. They at once got out pieces of the ore and sent them as specimens to experts. These pieces were carefully examined, and reported on as lieing very valuable. They are remarbly rich in the mineral, and free from impurities. The finders at once gave up their search for gold and turned their atten tion to the baser, but more profitable metal. The deeper they dug, the richer was the ore which they found, and there is now cYery prospect that the surround ing country teems with the Valuable metal. Two shafts have already been sunk, one about seventy feet deep, the- other forty-five or fifty. Pumps have been inserted and the owners arc busy extracting the ore, and thoroughly exa mining the bed, which they now have good reason to believe is a very rich one. As j*et nothing practical has been doue with the metal, The gentlemen who are working the claim are naturally slow to invest too much money in an expensive plant until they feel assured that the throughout the state and addressing the I ( l n! ) ntit y of the iron contained is as satisfactory as the quality. It is more The Case Will Probafa'y Go to the 3ui y To-Morrow. Special to The Banner. Atlanta, June 18.—The crimnnl sit- p ;rior court is still' engaged with the case against Arthur Havne for the mur der of the Italian, Ch.-istophine, ::: November last. The jury was completed yesterday afternoon, and some evidence takers. The axe which Christophine was. said to have had in his hand, and the paling with which Arthur Hayne si ruck (mi » were brought into the court room, ami used by the attorneys in examining the witnesses. The testimony was a rehearsal of the story. * Artur Hayne, Will Spinks and some • other boys were in a pool room on De catur street-. Spinks, accompanied by a friend, left the pool room and went to the Italian’s stand to buy a package of cigarettes. He asked for some matcho-.-, and took too rnauy to suit the Italian, whospokc to him about him. Spit.ks made some reply. The Italian ran 1. m into the street, then going back into hi- store, came out again with a short-handhd axe in his hand. Spink* ran to the door of the pool room whet© Hayne was and called to hiui to come up. This he did, and went up to Chi i *- tophine, asking what‘the fuss was about. Hayne claims that Christophine curs ed him, and made a motion at him,wh**u he picked up a paling which Spinks had before thrown at the Italian, and struck him on the head just above the tempi .

Already we see the great results of a good deal- more than a very dreary waiting place between Athens and Augusta or Athens and Atlanta. It is to be regreted that more of the particulars concerning the find can not be obtained.

Is it not a standard around which the people qf Athens can rally ? ■ time. Tlie Sage of Monticello saw that the two went hand in hand, and in the beginning’lie united them. » Tills seems a fitting time to speak on thi ? subject. Throughout the State there is now but one thought and one end. Polities and business are vir tually laid aside for the present, and men are turning their attention to this great, and all absorbing question. In Athens to-day there is more enthusi asm for the cause of education than there has been since the founding of the Uuniversity. May Georgian’s think on, and not stop thinking until they have made every provision for a full, broad and noble education for her sons and daughters. Education in and of itself is a noble thing, it is a necessary thing, and our people are beginning to realize the fact But it is e c pecially in connection with the point referred to that we wish to speak of it to-day. If we were called upon to define the first duty of our citizens, we would say it is to educate the youth of our 'land. We have a government of which we are proud, and we hope that the second century of its life will be even more phenominally successfully than was the first, hut there is no use hoping this unless we take every means of making the future citizens of this government competent in every way to carry on the great work begun by the patriots of ’76. And the first thing necessary to do this is to educate them. Let every means in our power be adopted to carry on this splendid work Let divisions and jealousies be laid aside. Let schools and colleges he es tablished whenever it is possible to do so. Let parents make every sacrifice that their children may receive every educational advantage. Let education be as free as the air which we breath Then is our future assured, and the loftiest hopes of out forefathers will be realized. ' ginning of his-career. It is the duty now of our state legis lature and the Board of Trustees to give Chancellor Boggs all the aid and as sistance he demands. Let the former make an appropriation sufficient to erect modern and suitable buildings upon the campus, in place of the mis- .enable structures now in use, and vote an annual appropriation, sufficient to employ the best talent to be hacl. Then let the Trustees confer with the- Chan cellor in their election of a faculty and give him such assistants as he deems ill best subserve the interest of the University. Chancellor Boggs will be bold solely responsible for the success of this institution, and as a matter of glit and justice he should have a con trolling voice in shaping its affair: One thing the public already realize: The days of “skylarking” among the tudents are passed.

A question which is, or should be of reat interest to our citizens is how much valuable ore is there all along the line between Athens and Union Point, or in the surrounding country generally. It is sv welljknown fact that traces of several different kinds of mineral have been found near Watkinsville. There may be valuable deposits all about us, and besides being a great farming region our locality may hold out tempting of fers to our pSople to become a great mining and manufacturing people. Every sign of wealth of this kind should be closely examined into, for.it is only by the energy of its people that a region can be built up, and put on the road to prosperity.
