It seems from the objections raised by
some of the papers of the state, .that

The bill substituted by Dr. Felton
for his original higher education bill
was before the committee on appropria
tion's Thursday. It was an important
meeting of the committee. Chancellor
Boggs was before the committee and
spoke in behalf of the University. He
pointed out the need of the University
for the increased appropriation in a
clear and forcible maimer, urging the
establishment of several chairs.
Dr. Boons, Chancellor of the Univer
sity, was before the committee in sup
port of the substitute bill. He pointed
out the need of. the .University for the
increased appropriation.

branches of study were united. These
studies' are mathematics and civil en

moral philosophy, political science and

there is no more important science than

THE CROPS.
The July crop report for the United
S ates has been issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. The returns of
comparative area of corn indicate an
fit them for higher j increase, of breadth equal to the increese
the common school* ! of population, apparently somewhat ex-
j ceediug 1.500,000 acres, and making the
aggregate fully 77,000,009 acres. "This
is a preliminary estimata, however,
subject to revision after more thorongh
census tests now in progeess.J
The condition of the crop in many
sections is only medium, owing to ex
cessive ufoisture, but as an average the
crop is good.

rance with unprogressive strides:
The opponents of higher education ;
’s plans in behalf of the ) d,t,on is generally very line, and is
growing off splendidly.
'1 he reports for cotton show a decided
improvement in the condition of the
crop. Warm weather and gentle showers,
have brought out the stand and made
the late crop to grow rapidly.
The percentages of condition by States
are us follows:
Virginia, 83; North Carolina, 85;
South Carolina,84; Georgia t 86; Florida,
90; Arkansas, 83; Tennessee, 82: Ala
bama, 87; Mississippi, 91; Louisiana,
92; Texas, 90; general average 87.0.
The caterpillar and boll-worm have
appeared in Texas and Louisiana, and
in some parts of Mississippi.
The tobacco, potato and' fruit crops
are generally good, especially in South
ern States.'
The general outlook is quite promis
ing, and every indication gives reason
for rejoicing among the farmers.

S’ate University, however, are few,and

think that the friends of tlie University
are not friends of the common schools—
but in this they are mistaken.
The whole question is just this, will
the state of Georgia be content to give
a common education to the masses,
when'it can give higher education to
them by elevating the University ?
PENSIONS.
The pension question at Washington
is fraught with many ele
ments of dangev^to the country. The.
already mammoth appropriation is
growing rapidly, and for the next
quarter ol' a .century at least there
exist* no indication that it will decline.

argues well fa' the patriot ism and
philanthropy of the nation, but when
the pension system is examined more
closely - much of the argument falls
through. •*
The pension appropriation is a mere
trick whereby the Republican campaign
managers led by Tanner are draining
the Treasury of the people’s taxes, to
scatter it broad cast among the old
soldiers. There is a limit to this charity,
at least there Should be one. The New
Orleans Tunes—Democrat is right when

be made up to January 1st, instead
of April 1st. Such a course would be
of benefit to the State. A bill, is sub

A STRANGE CONFESSION.

Might has be had ? Nothing has trans
pired in any of the railroads at which
he was supposed to be striking to cause
him to modify Ills bill. It is difficult to
understand why he should want to
amend now a bill he defended stoutly
last winter. The changes he wishes to
make in it are important. They make
it a much narrower measure in its
scope. It is not so sweeping. Why i:
this ? It is dm* the people and the leg
islature that he should give the reasons
which have caused him to make these
amendments.

LOWKY AFTER BIO GAME.
The Mississippi Governor Has North
eastern Railroad Officials Arrested.
pedal t» the Banner.
Nkw^Oiei.kaxs, July 25. Capt. J.
angley, special agent for the State 1 of
Mississippi, came here yesterday from
Baton Rouge, having an order from
Governor Nichols on a requisition from
Gov. Lowry of Mississippi for the arrest
md delivery of R. C’arroll and Edward
T. Tyler to the authorities of Missis-
ippi. When the officers appeared be
fore Gen. Tyler at liis office at New
Orleans and the Northeastern Lines
depot it was agreed that he would start
to Jackson by the Illinois Central yes
terday afternoon, which he did. Gen
eral Tyler will be taken before Govei*-
nor Lowry- today, and then leave to
morrow via Meriiliay for Purvis, the
county seat of Marion county, where
lie will he arraigned. Governor Lowry
has ordered a special term of court held
on the 5tli of August for these eases,
and Captain Langlej- is of tlie opinion
that Sullivan, Kilrain and the rest of
the party will be on hand.
HE WANTED PATTI.KS-XA'KES.
An actual occuriviue, which n :'ght
come under tlie head of a snak* si i ry,
and goes far to show up the Combined
typical tough and cowboy of the plains,
is interesting enough to ^odoivn in
record.
There .walked into a Denver restaur
ant not very long ago a st alwart snof
the plains wearing the picture*
soinbereo, with leather chaperajocs ;.nd
highheeied riding boots, armed wi h
long roweled Mexican spurs so affect* d
by the cow put ehers who take more than
a passing delight in their personal ap
pearance.
He had evidently gazed long and ear
nestly into the .depths of the flowing
bowl, for as he walked along the line ol
table* he slightly carroirted oil each cue.
Finally"he selected a seat, and throw
ing himself back in the chair with an
air of abandon, pushed his broad-brim
med hat back as lie beckoned to a wait
er.
The flunky was quick tore-pond, for
cowboys, whew they are in the humor,
are proverbially generous, and as he
leaned over the table to catch the order,
smiled obseduously.
‘ ‘\V ha teller got, .psird?? bellowed the
the bull whacker, “I want to
get somethin’ good, an’ it’s got to be
gilt edged, fer nothin’ is too good for
me.”
Glibly the waiter ran over the list of
dishes, both made and unmade, but
nothing seemed to suit the fastidious
cowboy, although he had been in the
habit whoa on the ranch' of his employ
er, of eating such homely dishes as
bacon and crack, rs.
‘jYou ain’t got nothing to suit me. I
want some r:\ttlesnake on toast, and
have it well done, too, with plenty ol'
fixin’s.” -
The waiter grinned and thought it
was a good.joke, hut when, with lower
ing brows and a stamp of the sperred
boot, the strange cuctoraer repeated his
demaud, he thought it was time the
proprietor was in formed of the fact
that there was a lunatic in tlie house.
The bass was a big, stout.good-natur-
ed fellow’ who had seen a little life on
the range hims elf and when the waiter
told the story lie started on a leisurely
walk to-ward where the cowboy was
drumming with knife and fork on his
plate, all the while jangling out |an
accompaniment with two brass chains
on his spurs.
“Did you say you wanted your rat
tler well done?” asked the boss, quiet
ly. ’
“You’re right, now, pawl;do ’em up
brown,and you’ll hit me where I live.’-’
Then he laughed at his own humor and
drummed more vigorously than ever.
Twenty minutes later the proprietor
appeared, walking in the same leisurely
fiianricr, and with his face as sober as
though lie was about to pay a big bill.
Upon a platter, which lie held in his
hand tastefully ornamented with sprigs
of parsley, lay two pieces of toast.
Upon each piece of toast was a section
of what would not require a very large
stretch of imagination to believe had
originally belonged to a rattler.
“flie disii was set dbivnbefors the guest
with the remark:
“Here’s your bird, my friend; lliope
you’ll like it.”
Theis was. too much for the cowboy,and
he moved uneasily in his chair, and
glanced toward tlie door.
“I guess I don’t want’em.” he said
“Give me something else.”
What? After taking all tfie trouble to
cook these for you? Not much; you eat
them or pay $1.
Interested guests turned around in
their scats and craned their necks to see
the circus. But the boss was firm, and it
was with a very humble air that the
man who wanted “rattler on toast”
laid $1 on the table and uneasily shuf
fled to the dirge played by the spurs to
tin* door, and when a general laugh
broke out he never turned ground.
‘I don’t often happen to have eel?
but they come in handy once in a
while,” said the boss,“and seeing these
are paid for 1 guess l’U eat them my
self.”

THE BOB TOOMBS OAK.
A Massive Limb Falls with a Crash.—The
Old Tree Fast Going: to Decay.
Yesterday during the shower of rain
a loud crashing. r*oise*was beard on the
campus and a Bannkb reporter listen
ed to the scene expecting to find tlie
walls of tlie old Richardson house,
which are now being replastered, crum
bled to the earth. But such was not
the ease.
, The i o’se was caused by the falling
of one of the large branches of the old
Bob Toomb’s.oak in front of the college
chapel. If was one of the main limbs of
the tree, which reached over the walk
beside the chapel steps, and was the
same limb that shaded the great States
man on the occasion of his graduating
speech, from which event the state worn
oak dates its name.
Who has not heard of the Bob
Tooihb’s Oak, and of its history ?
Beneath its shades the man whose
name it bears charmed hundreds of
Georgians, who leaving the exercises
in the chapel came out to listen to the
magic of his eloquence. That was
many years ago, when life and vigor
filled the veins of the great Georgian
with the bloom of youth, and when the
old tree itself was fresh and green in
itsbe’st days.
But time has brought its changes to
both.
Gen. Toombs, with a wreath of well
deserved fame and with a crown of
universal love and admiration, has
“crossed the river to'join the majori
ty.”
The old oak for several years has been
going to decay. Its trunk is becoming
hollowed by times telling stroke, and
the mammoth branches are gradually
growing dead and falling hack to moth
er earth. In all probabilities the tree
will have to be cut down.
There is something touching in the
parallel histories of the man and of the
tree. Both were ushered into promi
nence at the same moment, both have
flourislied amoug their kingdoms with
lofty heads—both have fallen at almos
simultaneous periods.
Neither will soon be forgotten. f Time
will do its destoying work, will wrin

locks,Jbut in vain wifi It labor to dim
