| GEORGIA NEWSf Epitomized Items of Interest Gathered at Random. Prepared for the Educators. The local committee of the bouthern Educational Association, which has in charge the preparations for the coming annua] convention of this body to be hold in Atlanta cn December 30, 31 and January 1, has made pre liminary arrangements for the meet ing. / From 500 to 1,000 visitors are ex pected to attend the sessions. * * ■* Tanner Trial on the 23rd. At Gainesville Judge Kimsey has passed an order postponing the sale of the Gainesville, Jefferson and South ern railroad indefinitely on account of the appeal taken to the supreme court which will not be beard before Decem ber. He also called a special term of Hall superior court for the fourth Monday in November to try Mrs. Onie Tanner, charged with poisoning her husband cn May 23 last. * * * Cremated in Burned Barn. A double crime resulting in loss of life and property was perpetrated in the burning of the large barn on C. W. Parrott’s plantation near Americus by an incendiary. James Reddick, a farm hand, who always slept in the barn, was roasted, his charred body being found in the debris. The fact tnat the body was found in a section of the building entirely sepa rated from Reddick’s quarters indicat ed possible muruer. All contents of the building, con sisting of two hundred bales of hay, four bales of cotton, several hundred bushels of cotton seed, wagons, buggy and farming utensils was destroyed. There was no insurance on the prop erty. Georgia Beys Wanted in Africa. Dr. H. C. White, president of the State College of Agriculture and Me chanic Arts, has received a letter from the British Cotton Growing Asso ciation, Liverpool, in which the re quest is made that he recommend to that association several young men who understand cotton raising and other farm duties, with the end in view of getting them to go to South Africa to teach the natives of the sev eral British colonies in that country how to cultivate cotton and other crops that the soil of that country will produce to an advantage. Dr. White has sent the association a number of names of those who have attended the university ;nd some of the students now in the agricultural department of the college, and it i 3 more than likely that some of those who have been recommende'd by Dr. White will receive appointments and go to South Africa. * * * Bank Stockholder Sued. A lawsuit of the nrst magnitude was filed in Sumter superior court at Americas a few days ago by creditors of the old Bank of Americus, which collapsed ten years ago. Petitioners bring suit through Thorn ton Wheatley, formerly receiver for the bank, and a!i stockholders, living and dead, who ever owned stock in the old bank, are named as defendants to this suit. The amount involved is nearly $200,- 000 and suit is brought under the per sonal liability clause in the bank’s charter, which provides that the indi vidual property of stockholders at the time of suits shall be liable for the ul timate payment of the debts of the company, in proportion ;o the amount of stock owned by each stockholder. There are several hundred defend ants named, and these reside in nearly every city in Georgia and in the norvh as well. Many large eastern banks which held stock in the old Bank of Augusta as collateral security' are among the defendants in this suit. Hundreds of people owned stock in this bank since its establishment'thir ty years ago. and as none cf these published notice of transfer of stock at any time, all may be parties to this litigation. The case will come up on its first hearing on the fourth M o2 day in November at Sumter superior court, and widest interest is centered in the result. * * * Germans Lccate in Ncrth Georgia. More than three hundred German families have been located ir. the northern part of Georgia within the past year. This work has been done so quietly and with so little advertising that the knowledge has only recently reached the public.- Industrial Commissioner Gay, of the Southern railway, is the party who i 3 said to have accomplished this result, one that marks- a new era in the in- dustrial and agricultural progress of the state. This is the first movement of the kind of any considerable importance, it is said, that has ever taken place in Georgia. The families brought in by Commissioner Gay are not selected in the north and west, but are induced to -■owe direct from Germany They are reported to be the most desirable class* of immigrants, thrifty, industrious and frugal, and above the average in intel ligence. The new inhabitants are located in Rabun and Habersham counties, an., are devoting their energies to fruit, culture, truck farming and other Simi lar pursuits. They have already made quite a success in their new homes and are said to be well satisfied with the land of their adoption. * * * Athens Preoares for Baptists. The people of Athens are making all the necessary preparations for the entertainment of the Georgia Baptist convention. This convention met in Athens twenty-two years ago. Ex-Govexnor W. j. Northen, who ha 3 been president of this body for a num ber of years, will preside over the meeting. There will be distinguished visitoro present from Virginia, Ten nessee and other states, also six or eight hundred messengers trom the different churches in Georgia. The Baptist women will also have an important part .n the proceedings of the week. They will hold mission ary meetings and will transact consid erable important business. There are oighty-one Baptist asso ciations in the state, sixty-nine of which are members cf this convention that is to be heui in Athens. Tne number of white Baptists in this state is about 200,000. Representatives will be on hand irom every district in the state. Value of College Training. The great majority of parents do not plan for their children beyond the present. If they' can give their chil dren food and clothes and pleasures of society, or can get them into a posi tion that will earn a small salary as clerk, or laborer at a dollar a day, they seem satisfied. Or if they can leave them a fortune or great planta tion, or large business, they think that this is the best preparation fc*. life, and allow their children to grow up m idleness and without high purpose or great endeavor. We need to show by living examples that college training is in the reach of any boy in Georgia and that the 4 best , preparation for life comes from years of systematic study in colioge halls. As an illustration of the value of ed ucation I wish to call attention to the Harris family, of Cedartown. In do ing so, I will quote from a letter writ ten at my request by Superintendent J. C. Harris, of Rome, Ga. He says: “My father, returning from the civil 'war, found his property destroyed. All hia earnings as a physician were given to the support of a large family. Believing that the best hope for the future of our family lay in the educa tion of its children, I began to teach in order that i might teach them. Now, as to the results. My brother Charles took by competitive examination the cadetship in the United States Mili tary Academy, graduated, took a two years post-graduate course, and is now captain in the Ninth United States in fantry. He was in college six years; is now 36 years of age, and has a sal ary of $2,600. Position for life. “Brother Will attended the Univer sity at Athens two years. He engaged in insurance and was called by Sena tor Clay six years ago as his confi dential secretary. He is 34 years of age, and his earnings from insurance and as secretary last year wore abo/e $3,000. “Brother Seale, now 32 years of age, attended the University of Georgia, then the University of Virginia, grad uating as a doctor of medicine. Ho has since taken two post-graduate courses. His practice is extensive and paid him in cash lasd year $3,600. “Brother Hunter, now £4 years of age, attended High School, passed the examination set by United States ar my for applicants for officers, and as a result was awarded a lieutenancy. His term is for life as an officer. His salary is now $1,400. “My son George attended college four yea-rs and graduated as textile engineer last year. He was engaged as superintendent of mills at Syca more, Ala. He is 22 years of age, and hi 3 salary Is $1,300. “The places held by each of these young men has been obtained directly by their educational advantages, two of whom you will observe being pro ducts cf our State Univerity, an insti tution attended by our grandfather, Peter C. Harris, eventy years ago. The fire was passed by him to our father, Dr. Charles Hooks Harris, who attended, the University ot Alabama and took his degree in the University of New York in 1857.” —J.

The elections in New York, Maryland ana Rhode Island are victories for the democrats that will be a great help in the coming election. “The election of McClellan In New Yov.v will have a national effect. You see the election cf democrats here and there will spread the possibilities over the entire country. “Some people have argued that the, comparatively small majority in Mary land is not a victory that wft; be very effective nationally. 1 would like to j call their attention to the lact that heretofore we have had no majority at all, and the election of a democrat la a great victory. “Roosevelt’s attitude towards the negro is going to hurt the chances of the republicans. The race problem as an issue will be a godf one. The peo ple over the country a e taking an in terest in the election. The trouble that the negro caused in the north the other day during the election will harm the republicans. “The people all over the United States are changing their ideas regard ing the black man.” We are ready te enter your name on our subscription books.
