• Tifton Institute.
Arrangements have been perfected
to open tile fall session of the above
institution upon an entirely new plan
than that heretofore adopted. The
Tifton Educational Company,
through its Board of Directors, lias
placed their handsome and comforta
ble school building in tlie hands of
Prof. E. J. Williams, to he used for
school purposes, and lie will conduct,
the school upon its merits under the
supervision of a Board of Trustees to
he chosen by the patrons of the school.
Really, the building is turned over to
ilie community, free of rent, provided
the citizens will maintain a lirstclass
school in it.
It lias never been the purpose of
i lie Tifton Educational Company to
mike motley out of their investment.
They want Tifton to have a tirstcluss
rolionl and, in their judgment, the
irst step in. that direction was to have
i lirstcfass school building, one that
would he comfortable and at the same
lime an ornament, to cite city. The
.irst step has been taken, tiie building
is one of which every citizen of Tift-
•ill are justly proud. The board of
Directors, chosen liv the stockholders
liiive been so handicapped with their
own private affairs they could not look
if ter the conduct of the school with
that degree of interest its importance
leinumled; hence, (hey have placed
tlie building—with the consent of a
majority of the stockholders —at the
disposal of the community with the
privilege of choosing a board of Trus
tees who can give this important mat
ter proper attention.'
Prof. Williams isayoungman who
was reared only a few miles of Tifton
and nearly every citizen 18 thorough
ly acquainted with him. He gradua
ted from Gordon InslPute at Bartles
ville, with the highest distinction.
Gordon Institute is more than its
name indicates—having a regular col
lege ciirrieu I uni and making a special
ity of normal instruction. Borne of
the best teachers of tlie state liuve
graduated from that Institution. Be
sides Prof. Williams has hud some
valuable experience us an instrnctoi
at Gordon and was, at one time, flat
teringly spoken of in connection with
the vice-presidency of the institution.
He was, before going to college, prin
cipal of Mayflower Academy at Ty-
Ty for one year and gave entire sat
isfaction to his patrons. Tlie Gazette
is confident that, will the hearty co
operation of tlie people of tlie com
munity, he will place Tifton Institute
upon a solid foundation as one of tlie
best and most progressive institutions
of learning in this section of the slate.
Let every citizen give him Ilnur ut
most moral and financial support.

A game of base (mil Was played (
here yesterday afternoon between
what purported to he tin amateur team
from Macon and a “scrub” nine of
Tifton. It was thought when the
challenge was first accepted
tint thj regular Tifton team
could be had to play tire game, but
this was found to be untrue when it
that the Tiftons mudeas good a show
as they did. The game was called at
tho close of the sixtli inning on ac
count of the darkness caused by an
overshadowing cloud. The Tiftons
held their opponents down pretty
well until tlie close of tlie third in
ning—shutting them out in the first
and second, and allowing them one
rim in tlie third—when the score stood'
seven to one in favor of the “scrub”
team. In tlie fourth inning the lo
cals got rattled, threw wild and let in
seven runs and virtually lost the
game, i’lie score stood when the
game was called twelve .to ten in fa
vor of the visitors.
'The visitors were pleased with their
treatment at Tifton. The button hole
boquels, presented by some of the
young ladies of tlie city, was some
thing to which they were unaccus
tomed and was a pleasant surprise.

Itnse Hall ut ItmiiHWlek.
The Tifton base lull I team went to
Brunswick last Friday morning and
defeated tho lucid team there by u
score of It loll.
A second game was played .Satur
day afternoon, and the Tiftons wore
wullopped to the tunc of 2 to 10.
However, it is fair to state in belmlf
of the Tiftons that they were “fagged
out” having played games the pre
ceding Thursday and Friday after
noons, and could muster but one fresh
man and lie an amateur; while
tlie Brunswick team laid play
ed but one previous game mid had
recruited their nine with four fresli
men including a piofcssionul battery.
The Tifton team should have declined
to play the second game witli such
odds against them. They should have
been more discreet titan to call upon
M r. Ledbetter to pitch throe games in
succession. No man can do it success
fully.
The Tifton team lias received se
vere censure at home for agreeing to
call Friday’s game a draw, it is sta
ted mid it it seems to he generaly ad
mitted, liv all who witnessed the game
that the .score stood as above, but
both the malinger and captain of the
Tifton team agreed to call it u draw

hope ami promise Hint the gate receipt
would bo greatly increased from what.
they were on Ftiday -they had to get
their expenses either from the gate re
ceipts or their pockets, which made
tlie gate receipt business a matter of
extreme interest with them. The
scheme, however, failed us it'should
have done.
The result of the trade reacts very
heavily on the Tifton team, as it
makes it necccssarv to beat the Brnn-
wick team two successive games to
tlie championship. We venture
to say tho Tiftons can accomplish
that feat if they ever get the oppor
tunity on their own grounds.
