departments ot this school. To other
members of this board, who are more
learned in the higher branches ot the
classical courses, do I leave to a great
extent, knowing that we have at its
head a learned gentleman and scholar,
whose every day occupation is devoted
exclusively to higher education. I refer
with pleasure, and as a commissioner
recommend in the highest terms the
devoted interest shown by Dr. Boggs
to the higher education of this school,
yet Mr. President and members of the
taculty, think not for a moment that it
would be my wish or my desire to in
terfere in any way or shape in taking
from the more ambitious students, the
means and advantages that now lie
within their grasp of gaining an educa
tion of such a nature as will equip
them to become competent teachers
and instructors of their race, so as they
will prove a credit to their own school
and show to the people of Georgia the
fruit they have plucked from the tree
of knowledge, planted by this commis
sion some eight years ago. This
commission established this school here.
Many sections of the state felt that we
made a mistake in doing so, but after
looking over the state, we selected this
location. Our reason for doing so was
because here a generous hand was
stretched forth and said here in this

Mr. President. I feel that I have
taken up too much ol your time, and
that this audience is growing weary,
but my theme is one that could ab
sorb days and weeks, It is the foun
requirements. Many say, well what
about the farmer, what can he learn?
j Well, many things besides reading,
writing and arithmetic. Upon him de
pends to a large extent the future suc
cess} happiness and prosperity of the
mechanic, the professional man, the
merchant, the banker. Oliver Gold
smith left his native village in Ireland,
when nine millions of inhabitants and
prosperity was Erin’s happy lot; but new
countries opened their gates. Immi
gration started, and in twenty years
millions left, mostly from the farms.
When Goldsmith returned to the
scenes of his childhood, sweet Auburn
village, he found the streets grown in
grass; the houses gone to ruin. Then
he wrote the beautiful poem “The .De
serted Village:”
"Princes and lords may flourish or may
fade,
1 A day can make, as a day has made;”

homes and become models for others of
their race to imitate. Before the war
the mechanics and foremen upon the
plantation were looked up to, and their
owners considered them of great value.
Those who had a trade hired them
selves from their masters, and after a
few years saved sufficient to buy their
freedom. We have an instance in
our city: Old Uncle Zeke was a
blacksmith; he bought his freedom and
afterwards the freedom ot his wife.
When the war ended he worked at his
trade and died a lew years ago worth
ten thousand dollars. His wife sur
vives him, honored and respected by

In conclusion let me say Booker
Washington, President of Tuskegee
Institute, Alabama, is in my opinion
one of your greatest men. Like Moses
of old he is trying to bring his people
into the land of promise and plenty;
and if they will follow his teachings,
heed his advice, their lives will be
made brighter, and plenty, happiness
and contentment will be their reward.
Mr. T. Z. Noles, of Byran, Ark.,
says: “My daughter had been chilling
about nine months and I had used four
different chill tonics according to
directions, and they did not cure. One
bottle of Ramon’s Pepsin Chill Tonic
cured her. She has not chilled in
nearly three months. I bought two
more bottles and cured three cases of
chills with them. I am not willing to
be without Ramon’s Chill Tonic and
Pills.
ver districts will not be rejected. It
is, perhaps, well to encourage indepen
dent commands for special service, hut
they should be in reality what their
name implies. The boys who are anx
ious to go to the front should be given
an opportunity without putting in a
special plea of immunity from disease—
and they should be counted in Georgia’s
quota.
The increase of the companies al
ready in the field to the maximum of
106 men, and this regiment of immunes
will meet the demand upon Georgia for
lien quota, 1,320 men, called for in the
president’s proclamation for 75,000 re
serve troops. Georgia will furnish her
quota of troops promptly as they are
called for. This she should do—no
more, no less—and she should have
credit for every soldier she puts in the
field. Men are needed at home to carry
on the industries and to preserve order.
Being near the scene of hostilities the
summer months will find Georgia filled
witli hospitals and there will be a de
mand for nurses and money. In this
war, Georgia will do her full duty even
jo furnishing extra regiments if
other states fail to respond to their
quotas.

CONDITfON OF THE CROPS.
Reduced Cotton Aren and Corn Small
Throughout the State.
COTTON.
This crop somewhat retarded by high
winds and cool nights in May. Acreage
less than last year. Stands not good in
many counties on account of dry
weather. Some fields have had to bo
replanted. Plants small. Cultivation
good. Will improve with the advent of
warm nights and hot suns.
CORN.
Small throughout the state, on ac
count of cool weather in April and want
of rain. Stands fairly good. Some dam
age from eut worms.
OATS.
Have suffered greatly from drouth,
particularly in South Georgia, where
many fields have been ruined.
The crop is so injured by dry weather
that the yield will not' be up to the
average.
WHEAT.
Largest acreage planted in years. At
least twice as much as last year. Pros
pects fine for the best crops in many
years. Very little rust reported and the
cron is almost assured. The good price
will be a great boon to the farmers of
North Georgia.
CANE.
Acreage greater than last year. Stands
not good on account of the unprece
dented drouth through South Georgia.
RICE.
Increased acreage and plants doing
well were irrigation is used. Upland
rice small and backward.
Minor crops, such as potatoes, hay,
etc., have suffered in many counties lor
want of rain.
FRUITS.
The peach crop promises to be one of
the largest ever made. All other fruits,
except apples, promise well. The straw
berry crop, though somewhat injured
by the cold snap in April, rallied later
on, and an immense crop will bo mar
keted. Blackberries and other small
fruits are promised in profusion. Mel
