Vol. X. No. 147.
DR BOGGS ON EDUCATION
An Interesting Address Delivered at
the Chas. M Neel Institute.
The Rev. W E Boggs D D , chan
cellor of the University of Georgia,
epoke for an hour yesterday noon, in
the chapel of the Nee! Institute to a
fairly representative audience made up
of the teachers of the schools, the pu
pils of the Institute and of the seventh
grade of the public school, several
ministers, and a few others from the
city, all of whom seemed to euj >y to
the full the doctor’s free and fair pre
sentation of bollege education . with
special reference to,(hi S i'e Univer
sity
The address opened with a kindly
reference to the young ladies of the
Institute seated before the speaker
who said that he had long been com
mined to the co education of the sexes.
■ Why should one attend college?'’
The arswer, ‘‘because others do,”
would not be satisfactory for—as much
as money and time were too deeply
involved—money that was bard to get,
and time most precious, taken as it
must be from the springtide of life.
How much time? Nine years for pre
paration, then four years to the A. B.
degree.
So it must be*thought over siriuusly
by the boy who goes from mother
and the sacred influence of home to
be subjected to violent forms of tempta
tion. Bear in miud one can baa man
any where. Manly virtue, self reli- !
ance should be developed in the face
of temptation—at college be can learn
to be strong by resisting evil. College
a bridge that one crosses iu parsing
from home into the world—Make up
your mind at the first to be a true
man then laugh at the tempter; for
temtkßous is everywhere else as at
college. Going into business one works
part of the time, at college duty calls
all the time ;so temptations not so
great as to those who go to the city
to do business.
Don’t send a boy to college till he
is prepared intellectually, and morally.
Let faithful home teacher have fair
chance at him. Poorly prepared stu
dent is always hampered. Parent
ask God to convert your child before
Bending him into the world, if he
takes Christ with him he has the best
safeguard. More temptations in small
towns than in the city and the college
lor boys.
Again, why go to college? Because
the course there is an essential part of
the education began at the Kinder
garten, which goes to develop perfect
men and women, which education is
effected through these institutions the
home, church and school, all of which
have the same end, perfect manhood
under God.
What is the perfect man? According
to Huxby, he is the man who with a
sound body, makes that bcdy- the
slave of th® mind ; the senses subject
to the reason ; the reason subordinate
to the moral nature; the conscience
alive to the distinction between right
and wrong; then a will to which,
divinely ordered, al! must ba subject
ed. Hence get educatien, whose end
is the training of every faculty of the
man, that he may go oo towards
prefection towards God.
But why our State University? Be
cause you may each say, “it is mine.”
My is a mighty word—it implies
ownership, property io. Again it was
given us so long ago. Jn less than
than a year after Georgia became a
a sovereign state her legislature ap
propriated 40,000 acres of land for this
purpose, they became the foundation
of our Vniversity ; therefore you, Geor
glans, ought to lova it. As another
reason you will always find represen
tative boys there—history of Georgia
shows this. Her graduates attain to
highest places— governors, senators,
professors. Since 1805 she has furn
ished men to fight Georgia’s battles.
When the charge was made by one
that university men occupied so many
important places, the reply was made:
“Then send your boy there.” The
gnawer: “And so 1 will.” There you
come into contact with hearts that
beating with your own will help you
to lift Georgia up to highest mark.
Another reason. The institution is
honest in its work, and thoroughly
organised and equipped. Not rich
but full of life, and fully adjusted to
the needs of the young men of Geor«
gia We have for some who have time
and money the full A. B course, two
thirds language and literature, one
third science. Then the elective
course for those who must do what
best can be done lo meet limited time
and resources
Still yet, we have the schools of
law, engineeting and na*y electrical
engineering, and finally the medical
department in Augusta, than which
there is none better south of the Uni
versity of Virginia We give to all
students in all classes beet of teaching
by best of professors, while in the
great universities lower classmen are
taught by green young fellows called
' tutors.” Greatest power in education
is the man behind the ttxl book.
After the lecture many of the young
people were introduced to the Doctor,
who, during the day, was the guest of
Supt. J. Henry Walker.
After dinner Dr. Boggs was driven
around the city and remarked cursori
ly as he noted the improvements go
ing on : “I know of no more thriving I
city in the state than Griffir.”
"A Breezy Time.”
For the last few years, it would seem
as if the public has been seeking that
class of plays having as their funda
mental principal, the creation of mer
riment.
Working for this idea, the author of
“A Breezy Time” has given an amus
ing and well told story that Fitz and
Webster’s clever company of comedy
players have succeeded iu elaborating
into an enjoyable entertainment.
Meritorious from the fact that it not
only has all the elements of music and
fun, but its story is coherent and full
of well sustained interest.
The three acts of ‘‘A Breezy Time”
have been happily impregnated with
music, songs, dances and amusing
specialty features, all of which are in
troduced in an easy and perfectly
legitimate manner, and the presentas
tion gives a bright and crisp enter
tainment.
The finale of the last act was ar
ranged by Fitz and Webster in which
they introduce a number of “Bag
Time” airs, closing the show with a
grand cake walk by the entire com
pany.
“A Breezy Time” will be at the
Olympic Theatre next Monday night.
The Current.
The world is always changing. It
is not safe to rely on the habit of your
customer to do business with you and
send his friends to you. The habit
needs constant renewal or reinforce
ment. Children are growing up and
graduating into adult life; newcomers
are arriving. If you cease to add new
forces to the current which bears your
way, it will lose strength and finally
be diverted into other channels. The
woman who read your advertisement
three or four years ago, became your
customer, liked your methods, brought
her little circle to you and came and
sent so regularly thatyou grew to res
gard her as yours ‘for keeps,” may
fall under the spell of another adver
tisement writer or under the influence
of another woman of greater personal
force or higher social prestige. Cast
your net into the sea for that other
woman and you will probably get
both. Do not let the tide turn against
you. Jt may never return. And you
never know in these days of commer
cial rivalry how' small an influence
may change the current of your bus
iness life for or against you.—Des

INSTRUCTION TO OTIS
He Will Deal With Filipinos in the
Severest Manner
Washington', Feb 24 Notwith
standing the alarming situation in
Manila the government has not sent
any instructions to Gen Otis. No
cause of complaint has appeared in
connection with his campaign. It is
realized, however, that Gen. Otis may
feel embarrassed in t! e belief that
aggressive operations an 1 summary
capital punishment of the Filipinos
whose influence is bad, would not
have been endorsed by the Washing
ton authorities, so consideration is
being given to the advisability of au
thorizing Gen. Otis to deal with the
murderous element of the natives in
the severest manner
In addition to the Sixth and Ninth
regiment of infantry, the Thirteenth
and Twenty-first regiments will prob
ably be assigned to the next expedi
tion to the Philippines These will
give Gen. Otis a fighting force of
30,000 men, more than enough, ac
cording to Otis, to crush the rebellion
in twenty days.
A dispatch from Manilla says:
Thanks to the effective work of the
police the city was quiet last, night.
Five hundred native suspects were
arrested in the afternoon.
Several blocks of native huts in
Blulumbay and the district northwest
ward and the business districts were
burned by the Americans, owing to
the sharp shooters concealed there.
There was severe fighting during
the night and morning on McArthur’s
left, where the insurgents were appa
rently determined to break through
the lines Twelve of the Montana
regiment and seven of the Kansas
troops were wounded.
King’s brigade has not been bother
ed since yesterday, when they killed 33
The road to Caloocan is now com
pletely cleared of the insurgents who
were massed there yesterday.

Thankful words written by Mrs
Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S. D. “Was
taken with a bad cold which settled on
my lungs; cough set in and finally
terminated in Consumption Four
Doctors gave me up, saying I could
live but a short time. I gave myself
up to my Savior, determined if I
could not stay with my friends on
earth, I would meet my absent ones
above. My husband was advised to
get Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. 1
gave it a trial, took in all eight bot
tles. It has cured me, and thank God
I am saved and now a well and heal

Fair Play For the South.
The course which Judge Maddox of
the Seventh district of this state is
pursuing in Congress in respect to
claims is calculated to win him popu
larity in every part of the South.
Because the Republicans have control
of Congress they think they are jolli
fied in ignoring claims Iron, the South
which have been allowed by the Court
of Claims and io appropriating money
for the payment only of claims from
the North. Judge Maddox has served
notice upon them that unless the
South gets her fair share of the appro
priations for claims there will not be
much money appropriated for that
purpose. In other words, he intends
to oppose appropriating money for the
payment of claims if all o' it is to go
to Northern claimants.
The North now gets about all of the
money paid out of the treasury. It is
safe to say that nine-tenths of the
$150.000 000 paid out annually for
pensions goes to the North, and that
section gets the bulk of the other ap
propriations. There are claims from
the South pending in Congress which
ought to have been paid many years
ago, but it is about impossible to gel
an appropriation fur them. The tactics
which Judge Maddox has adopted will
have the effect of drawing attention to
the injustice which the South suffers
in this matter of claims, and may
result in some of the Southern claim
ants getting what they are entitled to.

A Law Fee
At the close of the civil war Senator
I‘ettus, then just out of the army,
started law anew in Selma, his home,
says the Washington Post. He took
into partnership a young man who
had an eye for business, as well as a
clear understanding of the law. When
the partnership was being arranged
the young man asked about fees.
•‘Well,” said Mr. Pettus, in his calm,
deliberate way, “ these people are
pretty poor, and we do not want to be
too strict in the matter of fees We
will take enough to keep us out of the
poor house and not enough to send us
to the penitentiary,”
After awhile the firm was retained
in a very large cotton case. The
young man took hold of the case, set
tled it satisfactorily and finally an
nounced his success to his elder
colleague After he had rxplained
how the litigation had ended, Mr.
I‘ettus spoke:
“How about the fees?” said he.
“I stuck them for $15,000,” said the
young lawyer, triumphantly. “Don’t
you think that will keep us out of the
poor house?”
“Yes,” said Pettus, with a shudder
at the seeming immensity of the sum,
“but I think it will come very near
putting us in the penitentiary.”

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de
posit or ptrnntr <■><! r.
When me?.; symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may ms •
into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous
stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer's Bwamp-lioot, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such diseases. Its reputation is world
wide anil it is so easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.

wonderful merits, mention The Middle
