The. School of Technology.
This is an interesting question just
now. Several places want the school,
and the time is coming nigh for the
selection of the place. We have writ
ten a good deal in the past year or
two on the characteristics and great
importance of ■ such an institution.
The most that we have heretofore
said on the subject was intended to
show its great utility and, as far as
We could, to influence our Legislators
to make a suitable appropriation to
establish it. As the legislature has
made an appropriation of $65,000 to
found it, the great question now is,
where shall it be located? Of course
the Commissioners will exercise the
most scrupulous investigation and
judgment in making the selection,
not only as to convenience of situa
tion but adaptability to the object
in view, and at the least expense.
The curriculum for a classical institu
tion, such as the State University at
Athens, necessarily varies considera-
bl v from that of a Technological school;
one includes the whole range of clas
sical studies, such as latin, greek,
french, and other modern languages,
mathematics, natural and moral phi
losophy, metaphysics and ethics, as
tronomy, belle lettres, natural philoso
phy, and history, including too, civil
engineering, law r , and some other de
partments of study. In an institu
tion. in which all these branches of
art and science are taught, an exten
sive and varied apparatus is required
with numerous professors to unfold
such difficulties as the students in
each may encounter. In technologi
cal studies, the principles are fewer,
and the rules required in making some
simple engine, or water wheel, or gin
gearing, may be applicable to other
work, and the technological student
rapidly acquires the art of producing
any kind of machinery. In accom
plishing any given work, he acquires
principles applicable in the construc
tion of other machinery, and in two
or three years he may leave the insti
tute qualified to be a useful artisan.
In all such matters we, in our section,
have been dependent upon Northern
artisans, while, with our technolog
ical schools we will soon be indepen
dent of lother and distant sections for
the services of every kind of artisan
to fill the demands of our growing in
dustries. This will keep at home
millions of dollars heretofore lost for
want of mechanical skill at home.
This is the reason why schools of
technology are so desirable. They,
too, will be much less expensive than
institutions of the kind first alluded
to. In our opinion they should be
separate from, and independent of,
classical ’institutions. The expense
will be much less in apparatus, and
in the number of professorships.
There is an incongruity in their con
nection. All experience has shown
that they prosper better w'hen dis
connected from classical institutions;
and now, finally, we state, that be
cause of its centrality Milledgeville
would be a better place for the insti
tution than Athens or Atlanta. With
the old and splendid Governor’s man
sion at Milledgeville, (costing $75,000,)
and twenty odd acres of land, with
numerous houses, in the centre of
that city, no place can be found in
Georgia more suitable for the location
of the technological institute. The
injustice, heretofore, done to Milledge-
viiie, it seems to us, should have much
weight, especially with her splendid
qualifications, in making her the
seat of the technological school.
Fatal Railroad Accident.—On
Friday morning last a young lady, a
niece of Mr. Charles Woodrow r of Ma
con was killed by the down train of
the Central Railroad from Atlanta.
She had been rendered deaf and
dumb by an attack of meningitis sev
eral years ago. tthe was wearing a
poke bonnet which prevented her
from seeing the train and she was in
capable of hearing the loud whistle
of the locomotive. The coroner’s jury
cleared Mr. Cleary, the locomotive
engineer, of all blame in the matter.
Condition in Charleston.—Aid
is pouring in from all quarters of the
Union. Over one hundred thousand
dollars have been forwarded. Of
course this affords only temporary
and immediate relief, such as furnish
ing food and shelter to those who
have no places of safety for rest and
necessary shelter from night dews and
rains. It will take millions of dollars
to make Charleston what she was be
fore the disaster occurred. Mayor
Courtney has returned and issued an
excellent proclamation to the people,
well calculated to afford confidence
and inspire hope, under the trying
circumstances of the situation.
EDITORIAL GLIMPSES.
The prohibitionists in Massachu
setts have put out a prohibition ticket.
The Arkansas Election.—The
Legislature is largely Democratic.
The losses and gains of the party are
about equal.
The Porte formally declares that
Turkey will never consent that Rus
sia shall occupy Bulgaria, Eastern
Rumelia or any part of Turkey.
Vermont has gone overwhelmingly
for the Republicans. The Republi
cans have elected 122 members to the
House,the Democrats 18. Edmunds will
be re-elected Senatorby|a great major
ity. All this was expected.
England will find out in the pro
gress of events, that she committed a
great error in not granting home rule
to the Irish. This will not be clearly
seen until after the Irish shall lose all
hope of their own parliament.
Mr. Sedgwick, in a card, denies the
report that he disgraced himself by
getting drunk at a ball at the Mexican
capitol. He was sent to Mexico by
Mr. Bayard, our Secretary of State,
to make a thorough investigation of
all the matters connected with the
imprisonment and trial of Cutting.
The Cuban Phenomena,—The
springs which recently appeared near
the village of Cribadelagna continue
to'flow in undiminished volume and
the inundation is increasing. The
village, or a portion of it, is more
than three feet under water and the
panic stricken inhabitants are leaving
in increasing numbers.
The Gteronimo and other Indian
captives will be sent to Fort Marion,
Florida, with the exception of Geroni-
mo and some others, who will be tried
by a military commission. General
Howard thinks that -to save their
necks some of the hostiles will turn
State’s evidence as was the case with
the Modoc marauders. The Apaches
gtart at once for the new homes as
signed them.
Professor Rutherford.—He is
doubtful about rebuilding and may oc
cupy one of the houses on the campus.
When asked what loss by the fire he
regretted most, he’ answered: “My
grandfather’s family bible, in which
were recorded the birth and death of
my parents, and even my own chil
dren. I regret losing this more than
anything else.” He thought the fire
was caused by rats and matches. This
w r as the fifth time that the house has
caught and once it w r as blazing
through the roof.
A story of the earthquake is told
to the effect that a revival meeting
was in progress in a certain neighbor
hood in Putnam county. During a
service at night, the earthquake came
producing its customary effects of
fright, etc., upon the people. But
another thing happened that was a
surprise of a different character. A
man who lived near the church but
who had paid no attention to the
meetings—having attended none of
them—came in and offered himself for
membership and was received into
the church. It was ascertained that
he had retired to bed but the earth
quake caused him to rise, clothe him
self and proceed to the church, with
the result above stated.
The mass of the people witnessed
Prince Alexander’s departure. The
Prince stood up in his carriage bowing
to the people and saying “Good bye,
my brethren.” Many of the populace
were affected to tears and expressed
hearty wishes for his return. He is
sued a manifesto before his departure
full of affection forjthe people, express
ing the opinion that his departure
would save Bulgaria froifi great evils
aud that he was willing to make any
sacrifice for them who were more pre
cious to him than life^ He goes di
rectly to Darmstadt. His departure
was a mournful ceremony. He had a
kind word for all and repeated AU re-
voir expressing the hope for happier
times in the future. This he doubt
less said to calm the excited people,
but he could scarcely doubt that he
was leaving them forever.
The Atlanta Deadlock.—Why
does Atlanta or Fulton county persist
in acting in bad faith towards Cobb and
Clayton counties, which with Fulton
form the Senatorial district? Cobb is
entitled to the Senator this time and
vet the Fulton delegates have for 409
ballots voted for Rice of Atlanta, giv
ing him six votes, while the other two
counties have thrown six votes for the
candidate named by Cobb county.
This looks to an outsider as being an
arrogant and unwarrantable proceed-
ure and involving a shameful breach
of good faith. How can Atlanta,
which in fact rules Fulton, reconcile
this action to its self-complacent and
persistent claim to being the central
point of everything that’s noble, gen
erous and progressive in the State?
Has Atlanta a valuable axe to grind
in the next legislature?
Charleston.
A CURIOUS OCCURRENCE.
When the church on Meeting street
was destroyed in the great fire of 1861,
a number of monuments and head
stones in the churchyard, some of
them dating back to the colonial
times, were shattered. One of the
marble columns which stood in the
south side of the church, within a few
steps of the street, survived the fierce
flames. The intensity of the heat,
however, caused the north face of the
shaft to warp out till the marble slab
was bent like a bow. Since that time
it has been regarded as a great curios*
ity by thousands of people. During
the quake it was completely demol
ished.
REPORT OF VISITORS.
Gentlemen of Philadelphia who vis
ited Charleston said:
“In this city of over sixty thousand
inhabitants, not a public building,
store or dwelling has escaped damage.
Many lives have been lost, and a
great number of persons seriously in
jured. Mayor Courteney is working
energetically, and is ably seconded by
the capital Relief Committee. He is
subdividing the city into districts,
and with the aid of the clergymen of
all shades of religious belief, is careful
ly distributing the funds remitted to
him,
HUGE TRANSACTION.
Read what Savoyard says about
Farmers and Taxation. We copy from
the Courier-Journal:-
FARMERS AND TAXATION.
NO. 19.—BY SAVOYARD.
it is
Congressman Charles T. O’Ferral
of Va., found 246 Republicans in office
in his Distriot when the present ad
ministration come in. He went to
work at once and in ninety days all
but four of their places were occupied
by democrats.
Cotton Crop.—The opinions are
various. Some think the yield will
exceed that of 1885, others that it will
fall short of it. We incline to the
opinion that it will fall short of ’85.
Money to Re-build the City.—
Arrangements are being made to ob
tain a large sum of money to repair
all damages and make Charleston as
beautiful as she ever was. There will
be no difficulty in obtaining the funds
and probably as low as three per
cent interest. The amount of one
hundred and ten thousand dollars has
been received and a good deal more
will have to be added to that sum, to
meet immediate and pressing wants.
This is a gratuity flowing from the
benevolence of those who furnish it.
Beyond that the people of Charleston
do not expect or desire more moneta
ry aid, and it is used alone to meet
the ‘necessities of those who have not
the means to relieve themselves from
actual suffering. The millions that will
be needed to restore Charleston as
speedily as possible to its former con
dition, will be in the nature of a loan.
The credit of the city enables it to
speedily secure it, and the work of
restoration will go on with a cheerful
energy that will soon make the city
perhaps more resplendent, than ever
before. The spirit of the people ex
cites the admiration of everybody at
home and abroad. _
Our County Roads.—There is
quite a commendable spirit being
manifested among our citizens in the
directions of building up our growing
erty* One thing, however, which is
absolutely essential to the accom
plishment of such a purpose, is rarely
spoken of; and that is to secure a great
improvement j n our county roads,
rhe proper improvement of the prin
cipal roads leading to Milledgeville,
would push the outer boundary line
of her trade for many miles further
eT< ? lrec tion than those who
glVen tlie matter careful
consideration can imagine. A system
of good roads is essential to such an
enlargement of our trade as is alto
gether withmfour power to secure.
A BOOM FOR BIRMINGHAM—THE PROP
ERTY INVOLVED.
Birmingham, Ala., September 8.—
One million dollars of the stock of the
Pratt Coal and Iron Company has
been sold to John H. Inman and oth
ers, of New York, and Nathaniel Bax
ter and A. M. Shook.
The company has the largest bitu
minous coal mines in the world.
Nineteen-twentieths' of the stock is
owned, besides the persons named, by
Enoch Ensley, T. T. Hillman, John H.
Inman, Nathaniel Baxter and A. M.
Shook, of Tennessee. The company
today determined to expend one mil
lion dollars in the erection of four fur
naces and Basic Bessemer steel works,
at the town of New Pittsburg, six miles
from Birmingham.
Three more coal mines are also to be
opened. This assures to the Birming
ham district—within a radius of ten
miles—twenty large hot blast coke
furnaces, seven of which are now in
blast, one repairing and twelve in
process of erection. Besides these the
Pratt Company will also make steel
experiments with two million dollars
capital at the town of Bessemer City,
ten miles south of Birmingham.—
Augusta Chronicle.
Ordered to Vacate.—The facto
ry operatives, at Augusta, have been
ordered to vacate the houses. Super
intendent Combs has posted notices
to that effect that those willing to
work may be accommodated. This,
of course creates some degree of con
sternation, as the cold weather is al
most at hand. This decisive action
demands immediate and serious con
sideration. Those that will work and
the new hands must have the houses.
Operatives and mill owners should
work together. They have no use for
Knights of Labor or other outsiders.
We have heretofore fully expressed
our views and have no reason to
change them.
A correspondent of the Greensboro
Herald notes the fact that on the ridge
between the Oconee and Ogeechee
rivers in this State there has been
nineteen suicides in twenty years, and
that all have occurred in one neigh
borhood. This is indeed a remarkable
feet, especially when it is remember
ed that the country is sparsely settled
and beyond the influence of any large
city. It recalls the singular fact not
ed recently in these columns that the
largest number of suicides in any one
class during the first six months of the
year, were reported as occurring
among farmers.—Macon Telegraph.
"Necessity is the argument of tyrants;
the creed of slaves.”—The Younger Pitt.
In 1816 the advocates of a protective
tariff said that it was necessary to pro
tect our infant industries. We had
just emerged from the second war
with Great Britain and our people had
an idea that we ought to live within
and for, ourselves, having as little to
do with the outside world as possible;
so we adopted the protective policy
by which the farmers of this country
hired the manufacturers to give them
a home market. The tariff adopted a
dozen years later was so manifestly
iniquitous that it came near resulting
in a dissolution of the Union, but the
compromise measure of 1832 reduced
the duties on imports within the
bounds of reason. During all this time
the advocates of monopoly said that
we were infants; that we could not
stand alone, and if we ventured away
from home the paupers would eat us
blood raw.
Here we have a country immense in
extent, boundless in resources, with a
population of 60,000,000, capable of
supplying the wants of a world. We
have rapid transit from ocean to
ocean; we have machinery in motion
that performs the labor of millions of
men and horses; we have whatever
there is of benefit in republican gov
ernment and a written constitution;
we have inexhaustible supplies of raw
material; we have universal suffrage
aud universel education; we have a
virgin soil of wonderful fertility; Are
have such a climate as has in all ages
blessed the dominant races, and yet,
we tremble in our boots whenever it
is suggested that we compete with
other nations in the walks of trade.
The mere fact that there is a change
of seasons is an argument for free
trade. No ship that ever sailed the
deep is anything but an argument for
free trade. Every river, every rail
way, every turnpike, every vehicle is
an argument for free trade,
Free trade means the universal
brotherhood of man; it means univer
sal peace and universal prosperity. It
makes every man a citizen of* the
world and a free man. If it were
practised by every nation on the
globe for a double decade, all the ar
mies and all the navies of Europe, di
rected by the genius of a Nepoleon
and the heroism of a Nelson, could not
re-establish the protective policy. It
would give to every man the right to
sell what he had to. him who would
give most for it, and buy what he de
sired to buy from him who would sell
it to him cheapest. It would stimu
late the energies and the industry of
all peoples and tongues, because ev
ery man would reap the fruits of his
labor.
Wky h« did apt Gome.
Greensboro, Ga., September 10.—
The failure of Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt
Talmage to attend the recent Betha
ny centennial was the cause of great
disappointment. A letter has just
been received from him, in which he
says:
H. D. Smith—Dear Sir: Your letter
reached me weeks after the centennial
of Bethany had been celebrated. But
all my time was engaged so that I
could not have come. I cannot tell
how much J would have enjoyed be
ing present. The opportunity of see
ing the place of Uncle Samuel’s labors
—the nearness to the late home of my
lamented friend, Governor Stephens,
and the privilege of meeting so many
of the good people of the South,
would have been a great gladness to
me. Many thanks for your letter and
all the encouraging words you write.
In some way convey to the “Old
Bethany church” nay high apprecia
tion of their invitation. The name of
Samuel K. Talmage in all branches of
our family stands for everything
good, gracious and glorious. That
old race of ministers, what noble men
they were, exemplifications of the
gospel they preached. Now enthron

them!

Burned to Death.—Lincolnton,
Ga., Sept. 7.—Miss Jane Murray, of
this county, aged about 70 years, was
sitting near the 3tove in the dining
room, yesterday, when her clothing
caught fire. Her screams brought
her neice, Mrs. Fuller, to her assis
tance, but all efforts to extinguish
the flames were fruitless until she was
burned in a horrible manner. Dr.
Sims, the attending physician, pro
nounced it the most horrible case of
burning he ever saw. She lingered
five hours and death relieved her.
The spectacle was truly revolting.
On the other hand, a protective tar
iff confines a nation to its own limits.
The markets of the world are closed to
t. Its commercial marine either de
cays as ours decayed; or is kept alive
by the stimulating process of subsidy.
The protected manufacturer is confin
ed to a home market for his pro
ducts. He does not reach out and
trade and traffic with all the world.
His Government has said to the con
sumers of the land that they shall
buy their products from the home
manufacturers, and thus the rights of
one are violated and the energies of
the other enervated. Protection acts
upon the manufacturing industries as
intoxicants upon the physical man.
A taste for the poison is acquired and
finally it becomes a necessity, result
ing in a delirium that sees all the pau
pers of Europe in one frightful dream.
In our country protection has built
up a great number of manufacturing
communities. The six New England
States, New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and Ohio, are the seats of
these enterprises. They have a mar
ket in the South and West for their
products, and, as a consequence, they
do not go out into the world to com
pete with England and France and
Germany and Holland for the world’s
trade. They are protected, but the
farmer who has built them must find
a foreign market for his cotton,
wheat, pork and tobacco. He must
come in contact with the paupers. His
is not an “infant” industry, and has
not been since Adam was a gardener.
The farmers in the country should
organize. They should study the tar
iff question. They should make the
candidates tell them what the tariff is,
and why he is for protection. Let
them agitate agitate. Let them
kick, kick, kick, and when a protec
tionist is a candidate, let them see
that the manufacturers don’t elect him.
Let them wash their hands of all such
politicians and put up free traders, or
tariff reformers, if they have to draft
them from among those whom the
politicians call cranks. Let them
rigidly pursue this policy and by and
by they will obtain justice.
A blank crop report was sent out by
a paper for the farmers to fill out, and
the other day one of them came back
with the following, written on the
blank side in pencil: “All we’ve got
in this neighborhood is three widders,
the hog cholera, too much rain,'about
fifty acres ’taters, and a durn fool
who married a crosseyed gal because
she owns eighty sheep and mule,
which the same is me, and no more at
present.”
The earthquake opened an oil well
near Blount Springs, Alabama. It
cracked the earth and it is reported
that pure petroleum has been oozing
out ever since.
The Winchester Leader predicts an
early winter because migratory birds
are going South a month earlier than
usual.
