Atlanta Wants
Mercer University
• Atlanta, ■ that ever wide
awake, hustling, strenuous
gate city is reaching out for
Mercer University, hook to
your laurels, Macon; when
those peop’e in Atlanta go
out after anything they mean
business and don’t mind com
ing across with the cash, and
it seems that the ‘‘filthy”
counts for more than any
thing else in these blooming,
commercial days.
The Atlanta papers dope
out the information that there
is a plan on foot raise
$1,000,000 with which to es
tablish Mercer University in
Atlanta. 'The Capitol City
ministers preached about it
♦Sunday, and of course their
sermons were not tinged with
commercialism: they want
Mercer moved to Atlanta be
cause it will benefit Mercer,
give a greater impetus io edu
cation in (leorgia, and he the
means of establishing a great
er Baptist University with
broader and more comprehen
sive plans for the educational
uplift of our state.
The property at M 'eon i
valued at about f^oO,ooo
which embraces the college
buildings and a campus of
from thirty to forty acres.
If this property should* he
disposed of, $250,000 of this
amount to the
city of Macouand he a dead
loss to the college.
Forty-one years ago Me.r
was moved from IViifield to
Macon. As an inducement
to locate the institution in
city of Macon the city council
came forward with an offer to
the trustees of a site for buil
dings needed and one hun
dred and twenty-tiye thous
jand dollars in cash. Since
[this time Macon has ever been
loyal to Mercer.
The reputation she has
achieved, the prestige she en
joys as an up-to-date college
has been made in our Central
City. Macon has given to
Mercer in her site and the in
terest bearing bonds issued by
the city fully $200,000, and
the institution has enjoyed
every dollar of it for thirty
years.
Dr. John E. White, pastor
of the second Baptist church
said he felt it would be to the
best interest of Mercer and
the cause of education among
the Baptists to locate the Uni
versity where it would receive
the co-operation and patron
age of all the north Georgia
Baptists, which is now not
the case.
Now what is the matter
with our north Georgia Bap
tists? Why can’t they be
loyal to their denominational
school at Macon just as well
as Atlanta? If the Baptists
throughout Georgia will raise 1
$250,000 to make up for de
loss that would revert to the|
,citv of Ma< on in ease the L ni-.
ver.-ity is moved, why notj
make up the $250,000 and add
it to the fund as it now
stands. Macon has fostered
this institution for thirty
years. It seems that it would
he base ingratitude to take it
away from her.
And why move it? Macon
is centrally located. She is an
educational centre. An ideal
city for such an institution.
Her Wesleyan, Mercer, Mt.
DeSales, Ga.-Ala. Business
College, and Blind Academy
mark her as the foremost ed
ucational centre in the state
of Georgia. Her climate is
ideal and her health is very
high.
We venture to say our cen
tral city will not easily relin
quish her claims on this insti
tution. We would like to
serve notice on our north
Georgia neighbors that, while
we are not at all jealous of
their prosperity and glory in.
their pluck, we would like foi
them to hear in mind that
south Georgia, not long since
the home of alligators, go
phers, pine forests, and worth
less lands, is now the garden
spot of the state, as was prov
ed by their agricultural exhib
its :it the late .“date Fair at
Macon. We are coming with
a bound along educational
lines, and in every avenue (.1
business our people are meet
ing tin ivsponsii.iliti of life
with an abiding eoiindenu

Agricultural Exhibit
Referring to our editorial in
last week’s issue in regard to
the formation of a corn club
for Pulaski county. We take
great pleasure in calling atten
tion to the article in another
column in this issue signed
by Prof. Eeo 11. Browning,
Supt. of Cochran Public
Schools, inviting the school
teachers of the county to meet
at the Cochran Opera House
at 10 o’clock a. m. Saturday, j
Dec. 3rd, for the purpose of
organizing a corn club and an
industrial exhibit for the com
ing year, to arouse interest in
agriculture and horticulture
in our community. Our far
mers are cordially and ear
nestly invited to attend this
meeting for the purpose of co
operating with these teachers
and perfecting arrangments
fur a joint exhibit at the Coch
ran Public School building.
The contest will he separate
for the children, and separate
prizes will be given them, but
the sceool building is sutli
ciently large to have a joint
exhibit.- If our people will
take sufficient interest in this
movement, many valuable
prizes will he offered as an in
ducement to get up a credita
ble exhibit, We suggest that
the exhibit be held at our
College building just previous
to the meeting of the state
fair at Macon and we can car
ry the best part of it there as
a Pulaski county exhibit.
