COUNTRY CLUB MAY BE
ORGANIZED AT VIDALIA
Mr. Mark McLemore is promoting
a plan for the organization of a coun
try club near Vidalia and is meeting
with much encouragement.

large tract on the Center road, and
Rocky creek runs through the farm.
A large lake could easily be made by
darning the creek. The farm is con
sidered an ideal location for a coun
try club.

bridge over the Oconee, returning to
Vidalia at 11 o’clock, when the visit
ors will entrain for Douglas.

SENTATIVE REVIEWS WORK
OF LEGISLATURE IN SESSION
JUST CLOSED.
The achievements of the 1922 session
of the General Assembly of Georgia
may be recounted in few, words, if a
scribe Yonfined himself to actual facts.
And, likewise, it would consume a
vast deal of space to refer to what
may have been done by this august
body during the past fifty days of its
deliberative existence. The large dai
lies have taken particular pains to
tell the public that the boay count
have accomplished more by simply
meeting and adjourning; but .after all,
the public is not to be foiled entirely,
and scores of representatives have
done jjitst exactly as they were be
sought by the greater part of their
constituency—do nothing to laise tne
taxes and make no appropriations for
any cause whatsoever. Whether wise
and progressive, the records of a large
per cent of the membership will reveal
this condition; and whether the pub
lic knows every time just what is best
for its material and political benefit,
there is no doubt but that the do-noth
ing policy as demonstrated by the as
sembly just closed will appeal to many.
Without attempting excuse for the
body, and without too critical refer
ence to what was done, or not done,
passing mention may he made of a
few outstanding measures which really
engagfed tfje attention of the assembly,
with side lights here and there; for
instance —
The measure to abolislr the fee sys
tem for county officers and substitute
salaries. Any well informed reader
(South Georgia, especially) is aware
that he Savannah News was first to
advocate this measure, as the solution
of the problem in the large counties,
such as Chatham, Richmond, Bibb, Ful
ton, Floyd and Muscogee, in which
large fees are collected hv the county
officers, seemingly out of proportion
to the service rendered. Last sum
mer this hill was not passed on by
the committee simply because the ad
vocates of the bill did not appear at
regular committee meeting and pre
sent the merits of the bill. This year

THE B. P. I. TO OFFER
FRESHMAN COURSE '
FACULTY WILL BE ENLARGED
AND STUDENTS WILL BE PRE
PARED TO ENTER SOPHOMORE
CLASS IN COLLEGE.
A matter of great interest to the
patrons and friends of the Brewton-
Parker Institute was brought to a
close Monday by a positive announce
ment by Prof. Gates that the insti
tution would offer advanced work to
such students as wished to prepare
to enter the sophomore class at a
standard college or university. The
present faculty will be augmented
sufficiently to handle this work in a
thoroughly satisfactory manner.
The laboratory has been moved in
to the large room in the dining hall
and Mr. Wright expects this week to
complete the work of fitting it with a
first-class hood and students desks
for chemistry experiments, in addi
tion to shelving, cabinets, tables, etc.
Considerable new apparatus for Noth
chemistry and physics lias been or
dered. The physics equipment was
selected by Dr. C. R. Fountain of
Mercer University and is perhaps the
most complete and adequate outfit of
its kind in any secondary school in
Georgia.
School will open Tuesday, Septem
ber sth. The dormitories will open
on the 4th, and a large enrollment 1 is
expected for this term.
