BAILEY, EdPor. trr v —* ' ' ' J. HAMULUS, JR, Business Mgr. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE SI.OO PER YEAR 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 that south Georgia’s Juture b assured and that*her destiny is interwoven with tli e brightest prospects of the Em pire bt teof the sunny South 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.

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.
