The grand jury at Columbus has indicted R. H. Bu-ton on a charge of murder. Burton recently stabbed bis young son to death in the presence of nis mother, because, he claims, his son cursed him and threatened his life. • « • 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 market On this account Governor 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. m m m 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. * m m 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 two charges of murder, the grand jury a few days ago, having indicted him on a murder charge for the second 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 ed his son, Jeff Edwards. The young man died later, and hence the second Indictment. * i: * Hail to Vote on Whisky Question. Upon the petition of the required number of voters of Hail county the ordinary has ordered an election on the local option question to be held on December 14th. The petition has been quietly circu lated throughout .ne county and was sprung as a surprise upon the prohibi tionists. who say they will fight the matter to a finish. Both sides are getting ready for the election and some interesting things are looked for between now and De cember 14th. • * * Institute to Be Held in Cuthbort. A farmers’ institute, for the sec ond congressional district, is to oe held in Cuthbort Friday and Saturday, November 20 and 21. The invitation was extended by the local Agricultur al Society some time since and accept ed. The board of trade united in the request. Hon. Karvie Jordan. Hon. Dudlev Hughes, Hon. J. M. Smitn and Mrs. Felton have been invited to deliver addresses, besides others noted in the farm work. The occasion will be a noted one for the farming interests in the section. The railroad will give reduced rates. * * * 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 upon the indictment for the murder of Taylor that Potter was tried. The murder was committed last winter ft ft «. 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.” * ft 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. S ft ft 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 Ladies’ Tailor Made Suits, Skirts, Waists, Furnishings, Wraps, Etc.

Regular terms, 4th Monday of each month. 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 eraticn after generation. J. S. STEWART. State Agent University of Ga. We are ready to enter your name on our subscription books.

Constant scenes of disorder over a district approximately 55 square miles in extent resulted Thursday from the inauguration of a strike by the em ployes of cne of the two principal surface street railway companies ir. Chicago. All along the line wherever cars were started strike ympathizers made desperate onslaughts on the crews. A number of cars were wrecked and that no person was killed is no fault of the rioters. The tie-up was mjtdo complete. 1903 I^o4 OUR FALL and WINTER Stock Is Ready for You. WRITE FOR PARTICULARS.
