The State Fair in Savannah this

“Various women in divers places
are rising up to protest against the

lack of logic which considers that a
perfectly proper garment when
worn by women, but immodest and
shocking when it appears on men.”

According to the Atlanta Journal

manifest a disposition for taking

We are about to suggest a team

The Atlanta Journal's University

Naphthalene.it is said,will neutral

“Somehow we would feel safer if
somebody would underwrite Presi
dent McKinley’s declaration that
he wouldn’t accept a third term. He
has such a way of reversing himself,
you know, especially whenever
‘•plain duty” conflicts with “mani
fest destiny.”—Atlanta Journal.
There may b9 no third term pres
idential aspirants, but some how
the- question pops up ever now and
then. It must be the natural out
cropping ot the consolidation idea
for government; the one man pow

Is not the law fixed on two term by

Some of the Georgia papers seem
disposed not only to over ride the
constitution but are inclined to set
aside th8 supreme court decision in
the Park’s case. That kind of treat

illustrates how absolutely necessary
it is to have a constitution and a su
preme bench with backbone to pro
tect it.
Walter Savage Landor asserts
that the soldiers cf the rHied pow
ers in China were all, without ex
ception, organized robbers. Landor
is an English correspondent on the

the United State’s soldiers were the
most expert in finding hidden treas
ure. This shameful chapter in his
tory begins XX century.
A magnificent and schoiaily ad
dress that was of Hon.Oscar .Strauss
who delivered the main oration for
commencement exercises at the

for his subject one dearest of all to
Americans“Religious Liberty in the
United States.” Here the mightiest
asylum ever built by human en
deavor was erected to liberty aud no
man’s conscience can be questioned
by any human power the moment he
puts bi3 foot on the soil of this vast
republic. The theme was handled
by a statesman and a philantropist
loving bis country and his fellow
men and every day doing deeds of
charity for love of all his fellow be
ings without regard to race or creed.
He was once a poor Georgia born
Hebrew; now a multimillionaire of
New York City, who without osten

Concerning the power of wealth
to overthrow Anglo-Saxon govern
ments Lord Beresford has one hope
left. He says:
“This danger, which overthrew
Babylon, Persia, Carthage, Athens,
Rome and many other mighty na
tions and races in the past, now
threatens the race to which we be
long; but to it we oppose what they
never possessed, or anything like
the same principles or to the same
extent as we—tho power of democ
racy.”
‘ Every citizen of the Tifton sec
tion wants a constitutional conven
tion. It is the first step towards a
new county.”— Tifton Gazette.
And here is a reason for a con
vention for a new constitution! Just
want a new county! Why not abol
ish the section forbidding the crea
tion of new counties under consti
tution of 1877 and save the expense
of a constitutional convention? But
it should be known that the ever re
curring business of making new
counties was an expensive and in-
tollerabie nuisance prior to the last
constitution, aud it is possible the
people would not sanction it very
eagerly. We are paying more leg
islators now than we have any use
for, or from whom any benefit is de
rived. A dissolution of one-third of
the counties in the state and merg
ing them into other counties lying
adjacent would possibly improve
legislatiou and certainly reduce ex
penses.

The Haven Academy has been

his 15 or 20 workmen are pushing it
forward rapidly to completion. We
thank the friends who have stood
so nobly by us from the very depth

Now to our friends. Many of you
have paid your subscription and
many others have wailed until
work began.
We are carrying about $500 of
trood subscription with many pledg
es from others when work com
mence and upon you we are de
pending on to carrying this well be
gun work to completion. Please
let us have your subscription at
once. We will have our college
ready for tb9 fall term, and many
of our people who have been send

To our white friends you have
stood nobly by us and may this
school ever stand as a monument
of your fidelity to our race.
And to our colored friends this
school mean a brighter era for us.
So that we can educate our girls
and boys, to higher and loftier plans
of manhood and womanhood. If we
can raise ($300) three hundred dol

will have $0,000 instead of $5,000.
If any of our fiiends will double
their subscription please help us out.
We have placed the name of ev
ery giver and subscriber iu the cor
ner stone and well sealed up in a
zinc box that will keep centuries.
We want to make our report af
ter the 5th Sunday in this month
and on that day we hope to take all
money in. We will have a great
preacher with us during this day.
Prof. J. R. Bulkley is the right man
man for the place, both in the school
room aud as an architect. A lead
