Book Prices Very High.
It seems that in some instances the
prices put upon books offered for use
under the uniformity system are as
high, almost as high, as the same
books can be purchased for in open

Terrell thinks where new books are
exchanged for old, only a nominal
cash price in addition should he
charged.

Fertilizer Companies Kick.
The Virginia-Carolina Chem.eal Co.
and the Alabama Chemical Co. have
a heated contest on before Commis
sioner of Agriculture O. B. Stevens
concerning tiie names of certain
brands of fertilizer that has the same
name, and recently the Alabama com
pany applied for tag to ell their
make in Georgia To this tne Virginia-
Carolina Company objected, claiming
it was too much the same name, and
would interfere with its products. The
matter was finally brought before the
commissioner of agriculture.

May Apply Vagrancy Law.
The Calvin vagrancy law will prob
ably be applied in Savannah against
the Ocean Steamship and Merchants’
and Miners’ Transportation strikes.
Though the companies have won
the strike by bringing negroes from
the interior and instructing them in
the handling of freight, the strikers
have been busy in Yamacraw in acts
of violence. The police have had their
hands full in suppressing disorder.
Yamacraw offers such a field for the
misdeeds of the strikers, however,
that the police are handicapped.

Two Murders Against Nix.
Bartow Nix, a 16-year-old boy, who
occupies a cell in Muscogee county
jail, at Columbus, will have to face

time.
Some time ago, in a dispute over
an oat patch in the eastern part of the
county, young Nix shot and killed
John Edwards and also badly wound

man died later, and hence the second
Indictment.

Potter Clear cf One Charge.
At Savannah Saturday night, after
a trial that lasted throughout a week,
the jury in the case of \V. J. Potter
brought in a verdict c_ not guilty.
Potter was not released. He was
held for trial upon the indictment
orought against h.m for the murder of
Gugie Bourquin.
The crime with which Potter was
! charged was the murder of Fred
Taylor, the old negro servant of Bour
quin, a wealthy white planter of Chat
l knw county, who was found murdered
a: the same time. Indictments were
returned against Potter and his son
Swayne as the persons guilty of the
killing of the two men, and it was

Uncle Sam Buys Georgia Seed.
According to a Washington dispatch
Secretary Wilson has purchased 300
tons of Georgia cotton seed for early
planting in Texas. In talking of his
recent trip to Texas to investigate the
cotton question and the ravages of the
Doll weevil, Secretary Wilson said:
"The Texas cotton growers are
great sufferers from the weevil, and
as the weevil does not attack early
maturing cotton, the Texas- planters
will have to try their luck at. planting
their crop earlier than heretofore.
The up country of north Georgia
raises a very superier grad* of cotton
seed, and the department has pur
chased a large quantity, about 300
tons, for distribution exclusively in
Texas. We are going to try and help
the Texans get ahead of the weevil
by sowing early the finest grade of
north Georgia cotton seed. If we ob
tain any better, or as good, elsewhere/
we will buy it. Nortn Georgia and
,„outh Carolina plant early, gather
their crops earlier than some of the
other cotton-growing states, and for
that reason we are able to get the
seed to send to Texas at this time.”

Mcst Remarkable Divorce Case.
The most important civil case tried
at the last term of Worth county su
perior court was the suit of Mrs. S. J.
Sumner against her husband, J. L.
Sumner, for permanent alimony, m
which Mrs. Sumner was given a ver
dict cf $15,000.
This is rather a remarkable case.
This couple lived together in appa
rent harmony until their children, of
which there were a large family, were
all grown and married, and some of
their grandchildren nearly grown.
Starting in life comparatively poor,
their property was worth nearly SIOO,-
000 at the time they separated about
three years ago.
She has already obtained a divorce
and one verdict for $30,000 alimony,
which was carried to the supreme
court.

Get AH They Wanted.
There arrived at Ocilia a few days
ago from Liberia, via New Y'ork, nine
of the fifty-six negroes who left
last December. Six others of the party,
being without means, remained and
forty-one died from hunger and sick
ness.
The party cf fifty-six who left Ocilia
took with them SIO,OOO. One of the
returned negroes, who sold his farm
before leaving for $3,000, came bach
penniless.
The money, seme SSOO or SGOO, for
their return passage was furnished by
the farmers of the neighborhood in
which they formerly lived. Hundreds
of their colored citizens who had con
gregated at the depot gave them a
cordial welcome hack to the land of
peace and plenty. So dense was the
crowd of negroes who gathered about
the returned prodigals, that it was
difficult for a white person to get a
glimpse of them. The lucky nine cvere
so overjoyed at getting back alive,
kissing and hugging and shaking
hands with relatives and friends that
it was impossible to gather any par
ticulars of the experiences ot the ill
fated journey.

Value cf College Education.
We referred last week to the educa
tion of the Harris boys. Professor
Harris says further:
"A careful c-ffort to find out what
is true education as- to the value of a
college education has brought the fol
lowing conclusions: A young man
who has studied well, who under
stands the course well enough to
make it available in his future pro
fession, is- sure of success and that far
earlier and far greater, provided he is
normal in body, mind and morals. 1
believe, therefore, that a father should
give his son a college course, even if
he should have to give up his last
dollar for,the purpose. I would will
ingly sell anything I have cn earth to
secure for my sen the knowledge or
ganized in the college course, for I
have no doubt that this knowledge
can be converted into all that makes
life worth living—converted into mon
ey; into a well-ordered life; into suc
cess. Some few men. by dint of hard
struggle, may obtain higher educa
tion without a college, as a Shake
speare or a Spencer, but tne average
man deprived of the years at college
is doomed to ignorance and narrow
lines of life.
‘T earnestly believe that the average
boy who learns well the school and
college course, who is ambitious, hon
est and industrious, is certain to at
tain leadership among men and suc
cess in any calling he may pursue. I
believe this true from the very nature
of things and that there are no fail
ures in life among this class The idle
and vicious and incompetent students

at college should be sent home. If
colleges would promote to higher
class only the thorough students and
graduate only these, the value of a
college course would be far more
manifest and colleges far better at
tended.”
Such is the story cf the efforts cf
these young men to overcome igno
rance and become leaders of men.
Without this foresight, without this
self-denial, this subordination of the
present to the future, they might to
day be loafing about town, looking for
something to turn up or trying their
luck at fortune's wheel. I was a wit
ness to their efforts, and it affords
me pleasure to point to them to show
what Georgia boys, though limited ;n
means, may do. It also shows how
the University’s influence affects gen
