To-day (Tuesday) has been assigned
by Judge Lawson for the hearing of
the Baldwin county prohibition con
tested election case* when it is hoped
this vexed question will be put to rest
two years at least. It is needless to
say that both sides are expecting the
decision to be in their favor.
Old things have passed away and
the business interests of this commu
nity are now in the hands of men w T ho
have faith in the future, of our good
city. The Business Union has united
our capital and energy, and they
stand ready to take hold and push
any enterprise looking to the prosper
ity* and growth of our town. The la
test improvement suggested is to put
a steamboat on the Oconee river. The
feasibility of the enterprise will be
looked into at once, and if it can be
done, shoulders are ready to put the
wheels in water.
An old colored citizen stepped into
our office the other day and asked,
“Don’t you want to buy a load of
wood?” A simple “no” was the dis
couraging reply. ‘Mighty good wood,’
said he, ‘blackjack and dogwood; first
rate for cooking.’ One of our smart
young compositors replied, ‘The sun
is hot enough to cook victuals this
kind of weather.’ ‘Well, I ’spect
you’d get mighty hongry before dey
got done,’ retorted the old wood mer
chant as he disappeared from the
scene, leaving our smart young com
positor with his mouth open, but
nothing to say.
Rumor Corrected.-—There was a
rumor in circulation on the afternoon
of Humphries’ conviction that he
said that he did not care anything
about the verdict of guilty being
found by the jury in his case. We are
requested to state that this was a
mistake, and no doubt grew, out of
the fact of his saying that he did not
care what his lawyers did in the man?
agement of his case, as he was satis
fied they would do the best that could
be done for him; that whether they
moved for a new trial or not, his case
was entirely in the hands of his law
yers to do as they thought best.

The time is now rapidly approach
ing when the bids for the location of
the school of Technology must be in
the hands of the commissioners. At
present, bids for this institution do
not promise to be as large and numer
ous as was anticipated and it is be-
lived that Miliedgeville can offer ad
vantages that cannot fail to command
the most favorable consideration from
the intelligent board entrusted with
the high duty of selecting a site that
will be most beneficial to the people
they represent in this important mat
ter. Our citizens have had the sub
ject under consideration and discus
sion the past week. A committee
composed of Messrs. G. D. Case and
A. J. Carr of the city council, Messrs.
L. Carrington and W. II. Bass of the
college trustees, and Mr. W. W. Lump
kin of the Business Union have pre
pared a report. We learn they re
commend that the Executive Mansion
and the Penitentiary square (which
includes twenty acres in the heart of
the city and numerous buildings,) be
tendered the Technological commis
sion and that they be, invited to visit
this city and examine this property.
These grounds and buildings are worth
something like one hundred thousand
dollars, and located in Atlanta, Macon
or Athens would be estimated • at
double that amount. The original
cost of the Executive Mansion alo.ae
was about $75,000. This property is
under the control of our college trus
tees who are receiving a nominal rent
for it. Impressed with the importance
to our State of the proposed indus
trial school and believing that this
property offers peculiar advantages
for its location in our midst, they feel
it to be their duty to tender it for
that purpose, and look to other
means for sustaining our college.
In making this offer they are not.con-
trolled by feelings of local interest
alone, but think the interest of the
whole people will be subserved there
by, and at the same time the honored
old capital will receive deserved rec
ognition. We desire to call not only
the attention of the commission to
this offer, but also the people of Geor
gia to this desirable location for their
School of Technology.
