Traveling over the state this week I have been asked so often, “What is the matter with Mercer? What is her grievance? Have Macon, its city fathers and citizens deserted the college? Have your Baptist people lost enterest? Have you rejected propositions from the board of trustees? It is a surprise to us, and we Baptist out of Macon want information. Give us the facts” To this the reply was that we in Maeon are also in the dark and need information; and we are also treated to a surprise. No plans or propositions have been formulated and presented to us. Elberton gave us our first surprise, and the Elberton committee gave us the sec ond surprise—the surprise that wounded. The Elberton committee said in their report that the remov al question grew out of the action of the board of trustees two years ago. In the enterval, from this setting on foot a quiet agitation for removal two years ago, to the meeting of EVERYBODY FOR the convention at Elberton, Macon was not put on notice of any griev ance. No proposition looking to expansion extension, enlargement, ban been laid before us. Perhaps the trustees thought as \ they sold as residence lots tlie eight acres of land donated by the city for college purposes, and this very land, sold, lay in the path of ex tension of ground that Mercer had been thus hemmed in and exten sion impossible. Anyway, Macon should have been given an oppor tunity to solve the problem before placing the college on the humiliat ing block, its measurement to be taken in “filthy lucre’’ Mercer is ideally located: An easy walk to the first Baptist church and the First Methodist, with Tat nall Square church on Meroes’s grounds. It is not a long walk to the union depot. Two street car lines pass Mercer. Yet, with all this accessibility Mercer enjoys the quiet of the country, and enjoys a splendid patronage.
