Another good work of the Board
has been to endeavor in their report
to disabuse some prejudiced minds I
of their erroneous and false impres
sions, both in regard to who com
posed the greater number of the stu
dents, and as to their moral stand
ing. As they themselves declared, a I
high moral and religious influence
low pervades the whole institution ;

which are necessary to the success
of so great and good an institution
as the University of Georgia.
IN ORIGINAL PACKAGES.
It will be remembered that here in
Athens a few months ago mnch talk
was created by the ruling of the
United States Supreme Court upon
the law of original packages.
Its first decision was that the law

>s little disposition to discuss, for
publication, the new born people’s
party. Nothing bnt the kindest
feeling exists on the part of the alii
ancemen for the people’s party, but
it is easy to see that they fear that
there has been too much precipitancy
in its formation; and it is presuma
ble that they wish to see how it is
received before committing their or
ganization, which will have to for-
nish a very large majority of the
voters in the new paity, if it is to be
come a factor in the national cam
paign next year. There is another
phase of the matter that is not pleas
ing to the alliancemen, and that is
the character, or rather lack or
character, of some of the men who
have elbowed their way to the froDt
in the new party. These things
will be thoroughly weighed before
the great alliance convention meets
next February, and after all that
convention will really decide whether
the third party shall live or die.
It is a base slander upon the peo
ple of Georgia to say that Governor
of New York, has been invi
ted to speak at the unveiling of Hen.-
ky Grady’s monument, simply as a
boom for Hill’s benefit in the pros
pect of securing a presidential nom
ination. And yet that is just what j
many of the newspapers are charg
ing. The people of Georgia love the
memory of Henry Grady and this
insinuation of insincerity can only
be regarded as an outrageous slander.

Tom Watson was dead wrong when

faeedom of commerce between the
States. This was generally looked
upon as a very serious attack upon
the right of a state to exercise its I
own police powers. One may or
may not believe in prohibitory legis-
ation, but until the announcement
of the original package decision, it
had always been assumed that each |
state might determine the question
for itself. The Supreme Court, in
deciding that an Iowa saloon keeper I
might sell the liquor that he bought

The different depots yesterday were
crowded with passengers leaving the
Classic City for different points in Geor
gia and throughout the South.
Lucy Cobb Institute Commencement
was over, and after a week of pleasure
spent in Athens the visitors were going
home.
Many were there in those crowds who
had spent more than a week in Athens;
many whose young girlhood days had
been spent beneath the roof-tree of
Lucy Cobb Institute, and they too were
leaving those hallowed scenes, some to
ieturn next year and others to return
no more as scholars.
Looks of mingled pleasure and
sorrow were on their faces; pleasure be
cause they were going home
to their loved ones to spend a
well-earned summer vacation; sorrow
because they were leaving behind them
the scenes of their college life so happy
and beauteous and gay.
As the trams rolled away from the
Classic City, many fond adieus were
wafted back by the fair young gradu
ates of Lucy Cobb, and many a deter
mination made to cherish well the les
sons taught them within the halls of the
Institute. '
A large number of the young ladies
will return next year to complete their
study at Lucy Cobb Institute, and sev
eral will take post graduate courses.
Indeed, one or two of the post grad,
uates of this year’s class contemplate
returning to take another year of work
at the Institute, and denominate their
class, the “Super-Post-Graduate class.”
Nineteen of the Lucy Cobb pupils re
main in Athens until after the Univer
sity Commencement and with this
magnificent start, it is safe to sav that
a larger number of beautiful, cultured,
and refined yo ladies will be present
then than ever before seen in Athens.
The last good-bye said, and the

How Engineer W. Williams Lost His
Life at Sandy River, Eight
Miles from Chester.
Chester, S. C. June 4.—[Special].
While lying in the shade of and uuder
a box car on the Georgia, Caroliua and
Northern Railroad, ihis afternoon, at
Sandy River, about 4 o’clock, Engineer
W. Williams was run over and fatally
injured. It is ascertained that Mr. Wil
liams, who was a brother of Auditor
Williams, of the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern, was lying under the car
reading, when a colored fireman, not
knowing he was there
pulled up a few feet
and ran one of the wheels over his leg,
severing it near the hip joint, and stop
ping just in time to leave the engine
resting on the other leg. ■ When
found the wouuded man’s first request
was for a pistol to end his misery.
An engine was sent to this place for
Dr. S. W. Davega, but as he was out of
town Dr. T. M. Marion was found and
taken down. Dr. Davega followed as
soon as be Yeturued. The unfortunate
man died about half-past 7 o’clock,
however, in gr at pain. The scene of
the accident was eight miles from this
point. Williams was a young inanaud
very popular here, where he lived for a
considerable length of time.
