The farmers of this section have fine

The summer school plan includes an
auditorium.
The real estate men made a lino show

The Athena Elka are preparing for a
big time of it.

It Is said that Greene and Gaynor will

The Banner shall not let np on the
summer school Idea until the thing is an
assured suooess.
Fulton county comes aoroea with an
inorease in tax returns amounting
more than (600,000.
| ucational institutions. Each of the three
1 institutions here, the University of
Georgia, the State Normal School, and
the J.ucy Cobb lustitue will have the
largest attendance this year theee insti
tutions have ever opened with. This
appears to be trne also of the pnblic
schools of the city, and the indications
count for a great deal.
Already the State Normal School has
opened its door, and nearly fonr hun
dred students have applied for admis
sion. Many of these have had to be
provided for in the private homes of
Athens, on account of the limited dor
mitory facilities, and the pseseut indi
cations would point, it Beems to The
Banner, to the necessity for a larger
facolty. The attendance is all that
could be hoped for, and even larger than
can be properly cared for.
1‘resldent Branson, of the State Nor
mal. School, has worked wonders with
the management of this institution. He
has the nnauimons support of one of th
most superb faculties ever marshalled
in the South, and these noble men and
women are working with all their
mights and with their whole s.u's
wrapped np in their work. And the
conditions under which they are work
ing are well known to the people of this
city. They are badly handicapped from
the fact that they have not sutlicieut
room, either class or dormitory, for the
large nnmberjof students now in session
there. It Is a blot on the fair name of
oar great state. The Banner is hopeful
that the general assembly will appropri
ate at least (50.000 for this institution,
which would enable the faculty to make
sufficient for room Jthe large army of
Georgia men and women who are
taming their attention to the work be
ing done by the State Normal School.
As will be seen by a news article iD
this issue of The Banner, the dormito
ries of the University of Georgia are be
lag rapidly tilled with students for the
coming term, and out at the Lucy Oobb
Institute not a single room is left. All
the edncational institutions of Athens
Will be fitUxl tbk y„ur. u never before
in their histories, and it ja.pV-‘» *>-> -
ditional room mast be provided in each
of these institutions.
An exchange referring to the Greene
and Gaynor affair calls It extradition

The Coor.e of the Flow Throvsh
the Oi-L-nu Plainly Indicated.
The color of the stream la percepti
bly deeper blue than that of the neigh
boring sea, this blueness forming one
of the standard references of the nau
tical novelists. The depth of color is
due to the high percentage of salt con
tained as compared with the cold green
water of higher latitudes, observation
having shown that the more salt held
iu solution by sea water the more In
tensely blue is its color. Thus even in
extratropieal latitudes we sometimes
observe water of a beautiful blue col
or, as for instance. In the Mediterra
nean and iu other nearly landlocked
basins, where the influx of fresher wa
ter, being more or less Impeded, the
percentage of salt contained is raised
by evaporation above the average, suys
the National Geographic Magazine.
Another Important fact In connection
with the stream is its almost tropical
temperature, due to the fact that its
high velocity enables it to reach the
middle latitudes with very little loss
of heat Upon entering its limits the
temperature of the sea water frequent
ly shows a rise of ten degrees and ev
fifteen degrees. It was tills fact that
gave to the stream in the later years
of the eighteen!’a century and the ear
lier years of the nineteenth an impor
tance in the mi:ills of navigators that
it no longer possesses. In those days
tin- chronometer, Invented by Ilurrl
| son In 176.’, was still an experiment.
Instruments were crude and uuutlcul
ibles often at fault.
The result was that the determlna-
on of the longitude was largely a
matter of guesswork, n vessel after n
ge from the channel to America
often being nut of her reckoning by de
es instead uf by minutes. The Idea,
t suggested by Benjamin ITunklin,
t the master of a vessel, by observ
ing the temperature of the surface wa-
•ould tell the moment of his entry
into tiie gulf stream and could hence
fix ills position to within a few miles
as hailed with delight.
Tiie method was published lu 171)0
v Jonathan Williams In a work
lengthily entitled "Thermometrlca!
gallon: Being a series of experi
ments and observations tending to
prove that by ascertaining the relative
heat of the sea water from time to
time the passage of a ship through the
gulf stream anil from deep water Into
soundings may be discovered in time
ioid danger.” In tills work he
makes a patriotic comparison of the
gulf stream to a streak of red, white
and blue, painted upon the surfuce of
ea for the guiduuee of American
navigators.
THE LATEST TRUST.
The Sooth Carolina campaign is over
and the people of that distressed state
are happy beyond measure.
Unole Hank Wattersou is telling why

Secretary Shaw says the tariff is not

It is a little strange that so many pris
oners escape from that federal prison in
Atlanta with a Hawk on guard all the
time.
The people of Athens are showing a
most commendable spirit about the sum
mer school, and The Banner is delighted
to see it.
Never before has a canvassing com
mittee been as successful In any move
ment as with the summer school prop
osltion.
The race for mayor in Atlanta is at
trading almost as mnch attention
through the state as the recent Guber
natorial raco (Ud. and this Is saying

Ool, Lon Livingstone is going abont
over his distriot shaking hands with the
boys. He is greatly beloved by the peo

reason to be prond of him.
The crowded condition of the State
Normal Sohool should be a powerful ap
peal to the next general assembly for
that (60,000 appropriation. This is one
of the things we most have.
We are much interested in the propo
sal of the western farmers to form a
great tiust with a capital of (50,000,000
We are told that under the plan no one
but farmers will be uliowod to own a
share of stock. All kinds of farm pre
ducts will be dealt in and handled on
commission basis, and it is believed, so
the report says, that by eliminating the
middle man and having the famers of
the country behind it the organization
can maintain a uniform prioe to the
benefit of the farmers without injury to
the consumers.
Here is a trust with the open and
avowed purpose of controlling the price
of farm products. The trust proposes
to do away altogether with the middle
man and deal directly with the consnm
er, and proposes, by getting a corner on
farm products, to fix the price without
the law of competition and without con
sulting the interests of the oonsnmer
and his ability to pay.
Recently, when a company was formed
to own the shares of the Great North
ern and Pacific Railroads, two lines in
competition, there was an outory from
the Governor of Minnesota and from
others, and the President was urged to
take steps at once to bring this unlawful
combine into court and make It disgorge.
We should like to know why the Gov
ernor of Minnesota, or some other man
in the West who is opposed to trnsts and
combines, has not gone into spasms over
the prospect of a farmers' trust and
urged the President to take steps to pre
vent it. What oould be worse than for
the farmers of the country to combine
and make the consumer pay exorbitant
prices for the products of the farm ?
It appears that all the Athens educa
tional institutions will be just a little
crowded this year. The educational
movement now sweeping Gea-gia is
the greatest in tae history of this great

Don’t Be n Second Claaa Man.
You can hardly Imagine a boy say
ing: "I am going to be a second class
man. I don't want to be first class
and get the good Jobs, the high pay.
Second class Jobs are good enough for
me.” Such u hoy would be regarded
as lacking iu good sense if not in san
ity. You can get to be a second class
man, however, by not trying to be a
first class one. Thousands do that all
the time, so that second class men are
a drug ou the market, remarks Suc
cess.
Second class things are only wanted
when first class can't be had. You
wear first class clothes If you can pay
for them, eat first class butter, first
class meat and first class bread, or, If
you dou't, you wish you could. Second
class men are no moro wanted than
any other second i-lasB commodity.
They are taken and used when the
lietter article is scarce or Is too high
priced for the occasion. For work
that really amounts to anything first
class men are wanted. .
