The work is now proceeding on the walls of the third story and those who are competent to judge say it is going to be a most dura ble and handsome structure. Chairman L. G. Hardman, of the building committee of the board of trustees, visited Athens yes terday for the purpose of inspect ing the building and attending to other matters connected with the board of trustees. It is practically certain that this building will be in readiness for occupancy at the opening of the University next September, when it is confidently expected there will be an increase of not less than one hundred to one hun dred and fifty in the department of agriculture. This is by far the largest and most pretentious building on the University cam pus and will cost one hundred thousand dollars exclusive of equipment. Athens Banner.

SOME FACTS FOR THE SANE The earnings of the Georgia, Southern and Florida railway since July 1, of last year have been twelve thousand three hun dred dollars in excess of the cor responding period of the year before. The year before it will be re called, was a record-breaker in the history of railroad earnings and in general prosperity. To have exceeded that record is a strong indication that the state of Georgia is not going to the bow-wows. At a time when political agi tators, in order to serve their own selfish end, even at the ex pense of the best interests of the state, are attempting to convey the impression that we are in the low grounds of calamity, it is just as well to keep facts like these before the intelligent peo ple of Georgia.—Fitzgerald En terprise.
