After Month's of Slumbering, ii Bobs up
Before tlie Committee
The ednrati ns'i committee held a
in eting yesterday a'tern.M.n to hear
r-.: iment on Senator lortuue's bill to
-.'. away che appropriations to the
t :re galaty of mate educational iu
m t.itions and. just as a little side,
iiht, to abolisn the geological survey.
'''Laf the committee came down with
both fet on the bill of this wholesale
de.-tructii.nisr showed that it is com
posed of men who have regard for the
interests of the state and, incideutally,
for their own salvation politically.
Dr. George T. Winston first spoke
against the bill from the standpoint
of the uuitersity and made a strong
talk. He was followed by congress
man Harry SSkinuer and senator
Moody who both spoke ably and well
in support of sustaining the appro
priations. Seiistor Fortune said that
appropriation should be made to
e.ery s h"ol or none. Then Mr. Ewart
nnde a motion that the bill be re
p i ted unfavorably and it was t arried,
there bring only two "nays."
A coinniiUe- tint had visited theNor
mal school teported that i was in
favor of a spe. ial appropriation for
two years, of 10 000. Dr. C. D
.Malver spoke in favor of his school.
I'iiinj's up to this time had been
very q Mot ;.ut when Mr. W. N. Jones
arose to speak against the; university,
the fun began. Mr. Jones charged
that the university officials bad been
t
traveling over the state taking away
students from other colleges. Then
; Dr. Wfuston jumped up. "I say that
' these charges are entirely false," he
said. In an instant Dr. Columbo
Durham, e.er ready for a fight or ar
gument, was on his feet. "They are
I true. Will Dr. Winston say he has
not written letters to students of other
, colleges in the attempt to get them to
come to the university?" Dr. Wins
ton replied that he did deny Hand in
timated that students of other colleges
had written him iu the hope of eii
trapicg himj but stated that he had
been guarded iu his replies. He also
read a letter from Dr. Durham to
himself, "warning" him not to visit a
Baptist association meeting.;
The argument got warmer and
j warmer and tlie two leaders stood up
and :,hook their lingers in each other's
faces and nlung the "absolutely
falses" and ''entirely tintraos" at each
other with remarkable frankness.
After this had gone on for some time
Ihe, committee adjourned. It is the
general opinion that Durham is down
and Winston on top, at present.

COLD, HARD FACTS
FOUND OUT AND PLACED HERE,
WITHOUT COLORING.
Good Value Though, For They
Tell the Story Briefly.
The case of Yancey vs. Stronach, of
some interest, comes up today in Su
perior court.
The foundation of the monument is
now nearly finished. The people are
anxious to see the shaft pulled into
position.
Many needed improvements are being
made in Nash square. Neat turfing
and trimming of trees will improve
the park greatly.
A woman, who was drunk and dis
orderly on the streets lasteveniug was
fined 5 and costs by mayor Badger
this morning.
In the superior court this afternoon
the i-a'te of T. B. Yancey vs Frank
Stronach was decided in favor of the
plaintiff, Ysncey.
With the advent of the line weathei
work on the Mills' lumber factory and
the Farina mills has been going on
rapidly and much progress has been
made.
The Mission circle of Kings Daugh
ters are to give a tea and musical at
the residence of Mrs. W. A. Myatt's,
on North Blount street on next Thurs
day evening. The publio are invited.
Ihe caucus of republicans held last
evening decided to concede the rail
road commissioner to the populists.
That leaves the place to one of two
men, Otho Wilson or "Buck" Kitcheii.
Which will it be? Otho is leading by
a neck now.
Tie ladies who asked the legisla
ture for a $5,000 appropriation for the
woman's exhibit at Atlanta are going
to place there a big, bare table on
which will be the tabled bill, framed,
and the photographs of the senators
voting for and against it.
There were several little magistrates
cases on the tapis this morning. Wil
son and Wilcox, whose fight and
broken head story, was briefly told
yesterday were each fined A solo red
man who is accused of stealing a mule
got a respite.
A colored woman stepped off a mov
ing street car on Hillsboro street this
afternoon. As usual with such wo
men she stepped outward and of conrse
was thrown. She was not badly hurt,
strange to say.
Some of the legislators say the ses
sion will end on Monday next; others,
and their view is the more probable,
say that the session will be continued
several days. The calendar is terri
bly crowded with bills, manyof which
will die, before reaching "daylight"
at all.
This afternoon the educational com
mittee will hold another meeting on
the "state aid question." The meet
ing is held to give Dr. Columbo Dur
ham a chance to orate, he claiming
that he was " crowded out" yesterday
and did not have time to display his
oratorical powers. Another "racy"
time is confidently expected.
A gentleman, holding an office which
it has been spoken of abolishing, yes
terday went into the engrossing clerk's
office in the senate and asked the
negro clerk there to show him the
bill. "Is dar any salary to y'or of
fice boss," said the clerk. "Yes"
said the gentleman. "Dey 'aint goin'
to 'bolish it den, all 'dem places is
being saved for good populists."
The matter of making a change in
the city charter is not yet definitely
settled, as is generally supposed. A
bill, a modification of the Shaffer bill,
has been prepared and will be intro
duced. Under its provisions the city
limits are to be extended; the divid
ing line is to be moved from Newberne
avenue to Hargett street; the olerk
and the tax collector are to be eleoted
by the people, The supporters of
the bill say that it is an unobjectiona
ble, conservative bill and one that
will pass. It has a slight chance of
doing so. i
