L Peek, tho populist states man ffom Rockdale county made a sky rocket address before the State Agri cultural Society on Thursday advoca ting the n-paratiou of the agricultural college of the state from the University of Geonria and establishing the agricul tural college at the cx|>eriment station. As will he seen by excerpts from the address delivered by Chancellor Hill be fore the society on Thursday, Mr. Peek was badly mixed in his figures, as he is in his statement that he is not a can didate for office, so soon after he has h** n nominated by the populists of Georgia for commissioner of agricul ture. The Banner reprints liberally, ex tracts from the address delivered by Chancellor Hill, on this subject, and at the same time, we will reprodace here, an editorial fiom the Macon Tele graph, of yesterday, which seems to take an opposite view to that taken by Chancellor Hill, and which shows that Hon. Pope Brown is favorable to the plan of separating the agricultural col lege from the University. Tho Tele graph says “The debate yesterday in the State Agricultural Society upon tho question sprung by Mr. Peek, to separate the State Agricultural College WISDOM IN FUSION. V hit w .

Chancellor Hill s reply in defense of tho present use of the laud script fond was clear out. amt forceful it not convincing lli» o.-.'.otation, from and interpretation of [ She law governing the case, and his ^ ..notations from Senator Morrill's inter pretation of the law made an impres sion and nudouModly contributed to the defeat of Mr. book's resolutions. "The debate was interesting and in strnctive It is probable that as (his was not the tirst, it will not bo the last Does Atlanta really need another elo- of this agitation. Mr. l’eelt had the support of Hon J. Pope Browh, who said that the separation contemplated, and the establishment of a purely ag ricultural college was sure to come— that there was soarcoly little use to ap peal to the legislature now, but that the light would have to be made before the people." A Georgia exchange says if v'uba robs ns of our cotton business we can con tinue to raise peaches and pecans phant on her hands with Howell and Woodward bucking the state law? It appears tuat two of tha Atlanta pa pers are against Howell and Woodward. It may be imaged which two these are. 1'astern Republican newspapers are in a high state of perturbation over the fusion this year of Democrats and Pop ulists in various parts of the country They profess to see In it a continued menace to the nation with, of course, a big N. If they could have their way, they would so arrange matters that the Democrats and Populists in every town ship and ooun y In the Union should dissolve politic!,1 partnership, set up rival candidates, and so insure the vio tory of tho "grand old party" in the contest for every oflloe from tho lowest to the highest. Fusion upBets all these nak nlations, hei.ee the political weeping and wailing over it, and the effort to make it appear that national ruin is again impending. The Populists nnd Democrats are wise in sticking together, and making battle against the common enemy. It holds out the certainty of snoot ts in many im portant contesst, and will work no in jury in the future The prime duty of all Democrats this year is to agree among themselves and to attract all and every force that is arrayed against Re publicanism. In mense numbers of Re publicans everywhere are dissatisfied with their party. They see that its ten dencies are all in favor of the classes udowed by 1 nnd against the masses, that many of its leaders are the officers of gigautio corporations, manufacturing trusts, rall- rouds, banks and nil the other benefici aries of special legislation, both State and National, that no legislation is placed In the r a utes which mil.tat s agaiust these favi red interests, (hat, on the contrary, they are made immane against attack of any kind. Prom these oppressive conditions Republicans suffer as sorely in their pockets as do Demo- rats and Popnlistf, and it is incumbent upon all to dismount their rough riders and secure relief fiom them The Republican leaders aud managers have not the remote intention of dis turbing tho trusts in their rapacious raids on the people at large. Promises on the snbj.ct are abundant enough, bat what about tie performance? At the next session of Congress nothing will be done. Tin plea will then be made that the tin e is too short to dis ing less than three months After the dispensary light in Wilkes county comes the news of the organiza tion of an "Anti-Blind Tiger Club. Suc cess to the new club. The Macon News says Mr. Peek lost his temper in the discussion with Gh&n- oellor Hill Thursday He evidently lost bis head before he entered the discus lion.

An exohange says Sledd did the proper thing in tendering his resignation, and if we have any conception of right, we should say the trustees did the right thing in accepting the resignation The Atlanta Journal calls on the sen ator from the Atlanta district to op pose any change in the law touching the elegibility of two of the candidates for Mayor in Atlanta.

If Athens had a good, live commercial organization a good deal might be ac complished in the way of getting better railroad schedules on all lineB entering Athens, and in getting a large number of other things that are needed to make Athens the city it should be, As long as we pat this matter oil we are stand ing in onr own light. After that will oome the Presidential year, when the tariff baionB will pay ontmillions to be let alone. Tariff reform is an irides cent dream and will r« main one nntil t lie Republican party is driven from power. Conquering the markets of the world is maguificert from the tariff po tentates point of vit w, but to make him give up his iron grio on the conquered home market is iniiaitly more interest ing now to the millions of plundered farmers aud other consumers of the whole country. The one way to win that victory is by Fusion ! fusion of Democrats, Populists, Republicans ; fu sion of the robbed against the robbers. Trust-made goods are now sold cheaper in the Philippines, China, Japan, Eng land, Ru6Bia and Germany than they are sold within a mile of the factories where they are made. The facts and figures to prove it are easily obtainable. It is the greatest robbery of the few for the benefit of the many on record.

MONDAY THE LAST DAY. Thomas W. Lawson’s book, "The Laweon History of the American Cup," is dedicated as follows: "To sports men—manly men, men of gentle mind and simple heart, brave men, fair men : to men who say to the weak, May and to the strong, ‘I willto men whom sham is dishonor and troth a guiding star; to men who look npon the sea, the plain, the foreet, the mountains, the rising and setting sun and the im mutable heavens, with a deep sense of their own littleness in the great soheme of things, I dedicate this book.” An evidenoe that "Lo the poor In dtan" is at last becoming olvilized now before ns. The first case on record where a full-blooded Indian has peti tioned for a divorce has oocurred m the federal court at Pawnee, when Spah Pah-Bear asked for a legal separation from his wife, Mad Bear. He charged her with infidelity, abandonment and with gross negleot of her household du ties. The plaintiff is very old and al- most blind and was aooompanied by several sons and daughters. The wife did not appear in oonrt. ORR’S SCHOOL. Corner Pulaski and Dougherty Streets. jummer term begins Monday, June 9th, 1902.

A few more days and then Th" Banner’s dots will cease to he a mat ter of public interest. Th'-contest has been wonderfully interesting from start to finish and a large number of new subscribers have been added by this means. For the next few days is ottered the last chance for those who wish to submit guesses on the famous puzzle. All subscribers who wish to take advantage of tho opportunity to be compensated for paying their subscriptions, or all parties wishing to subscribe to The Banner and have a chance at the $50.00 in prizes ottered, will have to hurry. The sooner the answers ai" all in the sooner the work of counting them over will be finished ani fch e sooner the eighteen prizes will be announced. That interest in the puzzle has not been confined to Athens has been shown by the answers received during tho present week. The news of the dots has spread to outside places, and answers have been received from many other towns and cities throughout the state. This place, of course, has justified the popularity of the puzzle, and responded with increasing interest each day. With the close of the contest, there is a great rush on the part of the people who have been care fully studying out their solutions and making repeated trials to in sure more possibility of success. It is rather amusing to see the wide difference in the answers that are now coming into The Banner oiiico. Somebody is guessing, and the answers indicate that a good many somebodyB are gussing. Remember, the contest closes Monday. Count the dots aud send in your answer with subscription money R. NICKeRSON, Prc«. W. B. JACKSON. Vice Pres. T. M.
