It la safe to say that the average man
taken unawares without time to rabsa. k
books or maps, would say that France
as a colonising power was qulie out of
fha reckoning We have got so used to
talk French do adence especially as con
trasted with Anglo-Saxon expansive en
ergy. that It comes as a surprise to oe
reminded that the French colonial em
pire is the hneat fn the world after the
English That is the cold fact, which
statistics will prove to you If you be of
that order of man to whom statistics
prove digestible and nourishing And It
Is a fact which takes on anew and living
meaning and a very picturesque and fas
cinating aspe-t when you Impress It on
your mind not by turning over geog
raphies or blue hooks, hut by vl|tln*
the French colonial pavilions and there

also. I* Is. of course, a wealth not yet
fully developed sometimes scarcely as
much as touched yet. hut looking round
In the Trocadero palaces one sees that It
ts a wealth certain, enormous, all but In
exhaustible. It has sometimes been said
that the French colonies In Africa con
sist of Bird desert and virgin foress. the
last utterly unfit to support a colonising
population. Look at the big map that
hangs In the Saudanese pavilion and
you are reminded that the arid desert,
fhe Saharuh, Is fhc center of Northern
Africa, almost the strategic key to the
whole continent, a perpetual barrier to,
say the English, who would like well to
paint the whole African map red and
who s hundred years hence will certainly
bitterly regret that this vast territory Is
not under their dominion. For the despis
ed virgin forest, there I* not a single pa
vilion which does not help to convince the
visitor that all that timber will one day
prove of priceless value. In every exhibit.
North Africa. F.ast Afrlra. West Africa,
one sees superb specimens of native
woods, stout nnd resisting (good for
houses and ships on.l paving purposes!
exquisite In grain er.d color, lending Itself
admirably to artistic uses Some of the
native wood-carving, which Is shown
abundantly in every pavilion. Is of o
most remarkable beauty of detail. The
forest has creates! art'sta among Its dark
skinned Inhabitants, the Dahomese, the
Soudanese, the Congo and Ivory coast
blacks. As time go* son and nil this na
tive skill gets to work more and more
regularly anil productively the gain will
be very' great. In none of the pavilions
does one see signs shot the African wood
produce has l>een used for paper making
but it Is certain that before many years
the increasing demand will force manu
foeturers to begin to tap the African for
ests for their raw material.

A concession has been made by Emory

from an equivalent class at Mercer or
the University of Georgia, according to
the agreement for transfers which now
exists between the three In the iMUit it
has been found impracticable to admit
student* on certificates Cram high schools,
owing to the difficulty in making these
•chools conform to the entrmce require

agreement above referred to was made
with the other colleges the requirements
for the various classes at *ach of the
three were made equivalent and a circular
was issued to the schools of the state

It 1* now about three months since my
return from Suwanee 8-uings. where I
went at the advice of friends to get re
lief from kidney trouble, with which I hod
been suffering for the past 7 or 8 y.ara
During thl period I had been treated hy
different physicians and taken every
known remedy without material benefit
to a point where the doctors told me they
could do me no good 1 then went to Su
wanee Springs, remaining three weeks,
returning home sound and well, and since
ny return have continued to Improve I
refrained from writing thl# testimonial
before this, a# I desired to see If the Im
provement would be permanent, and as
the benefit I have derived has been far
beyond my expectations, and I fee! so
grateful for the restoration of my health,
that I take pleasure In sending you thl*
testimonial unsolicited, feeling that I owe
this much to suffering humanity. You
are at liberty to use It as you please, or
refer to me personally, and I trust It
will be the means of Inducing any one
else afflicted with any rheumatic, skin,
blood, bladder or kidney trouble, to visit
these wonderful Springs and drink of ft*
life giving and health rtstoring waters
