Entitled to Only $4 a Day.
After Jiving in Atlanta for a week,
nnd “spending money like kings,” as
one member of (he committee put it,
on the idea that the state was foot

M.mewhat to find out that he L
urled to collect only $4 a day. That
is the experience with which the men
hers of the legislative committee,
pointed to investigate the affairs and
management of the Confederate ‘do!-
diets' Home, met when they went to
collect what they .thought the state
owed them Governor 1 'enell iuuneui
i a.tely dug up the resolution under
. which the coauiii.ree was set-ring.
“Let. me see about this " he said,
and r an he had got through v.i: u
vossiution, he found that it. on
i hori/ed the payment of only 54 .* day.

governor thereupon dre'.x a warrant

The law lequires that these schools
Mi all be under the general direction of
the Board of Trustees of the Univer¬
sity ei Georgia to secure unity of plan
and efficiency.
All fees arising from sale of ferti¬
lizers. lots, etc., are appropriated for
the establishing and maintaining of
these schools. Each school will have
next year about $6,000. One Trustee is
appointed from each county. This will
give us 11,1 men directly interested
in Agricultural Education and asso¬
ciated with the Agricultural College.
Each school is to be given 200 acres
of land, and buildings, etc., by the
comity securing it.
One half cl tiie proceds from the
sale of the products of the shop and
farm, above what is consumed in the
school is to be set aside to pay stu¬
dents for work, thereby defraying his
expenses.
The courses of study embraces the
branches of an English education,
practical treatises or lectures on Ag¬
riculture in all its branches, and the
mechanic arts and such other studies
as will enable students completing
’lie course to enter the Freshman

conducting the farmer’s institutes and
farm and stock demonstrations in the
several counties of the district under
the direction of the State College
The above are the main features of
the law. Through these schools and
our new Agricultural College and Sia
tion we hope to develope a splendid
system of agricultural education ex¬
tending from Ihe common schools to
Hie University and in reach of every
child and every farm.

are confronted with a situation wnich

CRUSH TO SEE ALICE
-auses Ceremonies at Unveiling of Mc¬
Kinley Statue to Be Abruptly Ter¬
minated in Panic.
With a, panic threatening in a crowd
estimated at 50,000 people, surging
ibout the stand erected in the capi
ol grounds, at Columbus, Ohio, fran
ic to secure a glimpse of Mrs. Nich
)la.s Longworth, ihe president’s
laughter, the exercises arranged im¬
ho dedication of the McKinley monii
nont were suddenly terminated Friday
ifi.ernoon after the STatue of the mar
vied president had been hurriedly
unveiled by Mrs. Lougwortli.
The jirompt action of the commit¬
tee on arrangements w-as regarded
as most fortunate, for the crowd was
beyond control and the shrieking of
women and children caught In the
crush was rapidly working the crowd
into a frenzy. Many women fainted
and were carried out of the crowd
by the police. Two were so badly
hurt that they had to be removed
in an ambulance.
Throughout the ex 'ting scenes Mrs.
Longworth remained 100 I and self-pos¬
sessed, but afterwn » said “It was
the worst crush r witnessed, 1
have seen nothir it in my trip
a round tjbe
committee o ..... imenttthiU
expected an enoir ms crowd on ac
count of the presence of Mrs. Long
worth, hut in view of the solemnity
and dignity of the occasion, they be¬
lieved tht, crowd would be easily kept
in restraint. Under ordinary circum¬
stances the police arrangements
would have been adequate, but the of¬
ficers quickly found they were power¬
less to cope with ihe great throng.
Governor Harris attempted to quiet
the crowd. “Keep 1 aek,” he shouted,
“von are crushing these people in
front to death.’’ The governor’s voice
coiiiil not be heard 20 feet away, how¬
ever on account oT the din. The com¬
motion than became so alarming that
those on the stand asked Mrs. lying
worth to come forward in (he hope
that a glimpse of her mighty satisfy
the crowd. She came to the front of
ihe stand, and it was seen at once
that something must bo done and it
was decid 'd tc unveil the statue it
once. Mrs. Longworth t.nen pulled tho
ribbon attached to wires which drew
the flags covering the statue aside. A
man, hoisted on another's shoulders,
grasped the ribbons and the wire and
they were quickly tom into fragments
by relic seekers.
Mr. and Mrs. Longworth had an ex
citing experience in escaping from
| the crowd at the capitol. From the
j speakers’ stand they went through a
j window overlooking the platform into
! the governor’s office, but they were
| scarcely inside when the people bu
! gan »o surge through the doors from
\ the corridors and the office was quick
| !y filled. They then attempted to reach
j tin automobile which was waiting for
; them on the street, but once outride
i they were caught in a surging crowd.
, Finding no immediate avenue of es
| ! cape, the capitol they grounds fought their and way out Broad of
across
street into the Outlook building. There
they remainucd until a carriage was
secured and the police cleared a way
to it, and they were driven to the
Hotel Hartman, loiter they took a
train for Cincinanti,
