HON. K. I. SMITH, MAYOR OF ATIIKNS.

CITY OF ATHENS.
A THENS, Georgia, is delightfully situated on the Oconee river, about sixty miles northeast of Atlanta, the capital of the State. The ground rises from the river gradually, in a crescent shape, and most of the principal streets and residences are built on this crescent. The slope of the ground is such that it affords a very good natural drainage, and this, together with the perfect system of sewers the authorities have built, makes Athens one of the cleanest cities in America.
Tne elevation is 850 feet above sea level, and the Blue Ridge Mountains are in plain view.
Climate.
The climate is unrivaled. Very little cold or hot weather is had during the entire year. The nights in the summer are always cool and pleasant, and the days are not unpleasantly warm, except perhaps about two weeks in July and August. Being on the Piedmont Escarpment, on a high hill, and in view of the mountains. Athens makes a delightful summer resort, and its advantages in this matter are being appreciated more and more every year.
The average temperature of the city, as shown from the records kept at the Signal Service Station at the University of Georgia, is as follows: January, February and March, average daily temperature 42 degeees F.: April, May and June, 72 degrees; July, August and September, 74 degrees; October, November and December, 52 degrees F. The mean of the highest temperatures for the three months is 66 degrees, for the next three months is 86 degrees; for the months of July, August and September is 91 degrees, and for the three last months of the year, 71 degrees F. The mean of the minimum temperatures for the same months is, respectively, 12, 36, 51 and 22 degrees Fahrenheit. These observations were recorded for seven years.
In the matter of climate Athens will compare favorably with any city in America. The maximum tem perature in summer is rarely above 94 degrees, the average being about 90 degrees, while the average minimum is about 50 degrees, representing, approximately, the night temperatures. Very few nights are not cool and pleas ant, and, as a general thing, covering is necessary to comfortable sleeping. While people are miserably dying from the extreme cold in the winter, and the extreme heat in the summer at the north, and are suffering the loss

of property and life from tidal waves and cyclones in the west, and are sweltering from the torrid sun of Florida, the people of Athens are blessed by a kind Providence wit!i an equable, temperate, delightful climate all the year around, in which they can live and move in happiness and comfort.
Health.
The health of Athens is unsurpassed by any city. There is ho disease endemic here. The climate is pe culiarly beneficial and curative to diseases of the nose, throat and lungs, and also for rheumatism. There has never been an epidemic of diphtheria, scarlet fever, smallpox, or any of the graver contagious diseases. Chills and fever are unknown except in very rare instances and then are directly due to local causes, such as the rise and fall of water in a mill pond. Consumption, as developed from climatic conditions, is never known, and so un favorable is the climate for its development that persons suffering with it find not only relief from its progressive changes, but an entire arrest of the disease.
Inflammatory and acute rheumatisms are seldom met with, being almost as great a rarity as diphtheria or intermittent fever. Bright's disease, diabetes and other affections of the kidneys, are so rare that many physicians here have not known of a case in many years experience. The death rate of Athens is only about one per cent.
Roads and Streets.
The streets in the fire limits of the city are all paved. The great thoroughfares, like Broad Street, Clayton Street and College Avenue are paved with vitrified brick, and the intersecting streets with Belgian blocks. The residence streets, like Milledge Avenue, Prince Avenue and Hill Street are being rapidly macadamized. The citizens voted an issue of one hundred thousand dollars in bonds, bearing four per cent, interest and sold for a premium of three and one-half per cent., to complete this pavement. Under the system adopted the city pays one-half of the cost of the pavement in the fire limits and the property-owners one half, and in the rest of the city the property-owners pay only one fourth of the cost. Up to date there has been expended for pavements ninety thousand dollars, and of this sum about forty thousand dollars was paid by the property-owners.
This work is done by the city itself, under the careful and skillful supervision of a thoroughly competent

engineer, who gives it his untiring attention. The materials are bought from parties who make the lowest bids and the work is systeina'icullv. economically and efficiently done. There is no city of its size on this continent that has better paved streets than Athens.
Clarke county has a commission of roads and bridges that is doing magnificent wrork towards making all the roads leading t > Athens perfect. The grades have been changed, hills avoided and low places filled in, so that now there is no important road leading into the city that is not level enough for a horse to trot up with ease. These roads go out from the city to the limits of the county, and the people who live in the country come in to Athens with their produce over as fin~> roads a> there are anywhere.
There are four railroads ent Ting the city. The Southern Railway Company has a branch road that taps the main line at Lula, Ga.; the Central of Ga. Railway Company runs a line from Athens to Macon; the Georgia Railway Company connects its main line with Athens at Union Point, Ga., and the Seaboard Air Line runs through the city. These four roads all have daily trains at least twice a day and the schedules are convenient. Thus it is seen that the railroad facilities for freight and passenger purposes are unsurpassed, four great railroad corporations having their lines into the city and giving close and efficient connection with all parts of the country.
Street Railroad.
Athens has an efficient, well-managed electric street railroad. The power plant is situated near Mit.hell's bridge, on the Middle Oconee river, about four miles from the city. This plant furnishes power f r the street railroad and electric lights for the citixens. The cars run through all the main business streets and through Millege Avenue, Hill street and Prince Avenue, and around the Boulevard, the main residence streets.
Electric Lights and Waterworks.
While many political parties and politicians have been discussing the advisability of municipal ownership for public utilities, Athens has quietly gone ahead and solved the problem. She owns both her electric light plant and waterworks. To see if this plan is a wise one, it will only be necesssary to refer to the following statistics: Under the old plan of renting lights the city paid eleven thousand and five hundred dollars for one hundred and
'9

fifteen arc lights; now they cost, by reason of municipal ownership, five thousand and five hundred dollars, and

the city is much better lighted than formerly.

.

The city has a magnificent system of water works. The plant is valued at one hundred and thirty thous

and dollars and is situated on the banks of the Oconee river, about one and one-half miles from tlr* centre of the

citv. The wate~ is taken from the river above the city and the supply is practically inexhaustible. The plant is

equipped with the very best modern filtering system and the water is clear, sparkling and pure. Many citizens

use it for drinking purposes in preference to well water. The city owns eighteen miles of water-mains, of from

six to eighteen inches in diameter, reaching even,- section. There are one hundred and forty fire-hydrants, so

distributed as to furnish adequate protection to all sections of the city. There is a saving of a little over two

thousand dollars per annum by this municipal ownership, and it gives the people a vastly improved service in the

quantity, quality, certainty and pureness of the water.

Sewers.
The natural drainage of the streets is very fine, but the city has established a splendid system of sewers. These sewers intersect the main streets, both business and residence, and empty into the Oconee river below the city. The cost of the sewers up to date is thirty-five thousand and five hundred dollars.

Government-
The government of the city is vesled in a Mayor and eight Aldermen, two from each ward. These officers hold their offices for two years. The present Mayor is Hon. E. I. Smith, and the Aldermen are Messrs. J. H. Dorsey and C. F. Bailey from the first ward; John L. Arnold and W. P. Vonderau from the second ward; J. H. Rucker and D. C. Barrow from the third ward; and J. F. Foster and W. C. Orr from the fourth ward.
Hon. J. F. Foster is mayor pro. tern. The council does most of its work through committees which report back to the council for final action. These committees are Finance, Fire Department, Public Property, Fire Alarm, Streets, Markets, Printing, Lights, Petitions, Police, Railroads, Public Schools, Water-Works, Sewers, Ordinances, and Health. Hon. F. C. Shackleford is city attorney, Hon. W. W. Turner is clerk and treasurer, Hon. J. W. Bar-
ii

nett is city engineer. lion. B. F. Culp is chief of police, Hon. J. C. Orr is sanitary inspector, Hon. Geo. W. McDorman is chief of fire department, and Hon. W. L. Wood is superintendent of water works.
The council meets once a month but is subject to called meetings in the discretion of the Mayor.

Population.
The population of Athens is about twelve thousand.

Tax Rate.
The tax rate of Athens is only one per cent., perhaps the lowest tax rate of any city in America.

Public Debt.

The public debt of the city consists of twenty thousand dollars in school bonds, fifteen thousand dollars in college bonds, twenty-five thousand dollars in sewer bonds, one hundred and nineteen thousand dollars of water works bonds and one hundred thousand dollars of paving bonds. Total, two hundred and seventy-nine thousand
dollars. Assets.

Board of Health-

The health of the city is looked after carefully by a sanitary inspector and by a board of health. All mat ters pertaining to contagious diseases, improper sewerage and refuse matter on the citizen lots, indeed, anything that relates to the public health is vigilantlv looked after by these authorities.

Educational Institutions.
Perhaps the greatest pride of the city is its institutions of education. There are located here the Universitv of Georgia, the greatest educational institution in the Southern States, one that has given more illustrious men to

the country than any other, and one that is taking on new life and vigor, and going to a glorious future, under the able guidance of the present chancellor, lion \V. B. Hill. \Ve have the Georgia Normal College, which reaches more people than any other institution in the state, sending into everv countv in Georgia skilled teachers to educate and elevate all the illiterate children in the commonwealth, so the beneficent blessinsrs of education
^^
will soon be in the easy reach of every child. Xo one can adequately describe the advantage this college is im parting to the state of Georgia every day.
lion. S. D Bradwell is the efficient president, and it is due, in a large measure, to his skill and untiring work that this college has attained to its present position. Under his able management the expense of attend ance for each ptipil is reduced to about eight dollars per month, which includes all living expenses. What other college in this land, with equal educational facilities, can parellel this?
The Lucy Cobb institute is one of the finest female schools in Georgia. It lias an able corps of teachers, led by Mrs. M. A. Lipscomb, and is doing a noble work in the education of the women of Georgia.
Athens has a svstem of public schools that is equaled by few and surpassed bv none in America. The work done by its pupils compares very favorablv with that of the largest schools in the Xorth and \Vest. There are five large and commodious buildings, two of them built of brick and stone, owned by the city, and one rented building. Of these, two are occupied by the colored people and four by the whites. These schools are under the direct control of a board of education, composed of eleven members, two from each ward, two from the city at large, and the mavor, who is ex-officio member. Professor G. G. Bond is superintendent, and there are six principals and twenty-nine teachers.
The city appropriates $12,000 per annum for the schools and the State $6,625.
Athenaeum.
There is a business and social club in the city whose membership embraces a large number of the male citizens, in business or professions. It has a large two-story brick and stone building on the corner of Broad and Lumpkin Streets, well equipped with gymnasiums, baths, reading rooms, billiard rooms, reception rooms, par-
17

lor*, etc Besides its social features, this club has for its object the building up of the city, and most of the en terprises that are started for the citv's good, originate here, and are fostered bv its members.
Hon. M. G. Michael is the president.

Churches.
Athens is noted for its conservative religious sentiment. There are three Methodist houses of worship, three Presbvterian. two Baptist, one Episcopalian, one Christian, one Catholic and one Jewish Synagogue, among the whites and innumerable houses of worship among the colored citizens, mostly Baptist and Methodist. While a broad spirit pervades them all yet each denomination is active and zealous in behalf of its own peculiar tenets, and they all work in a harmonious spirit for the uplifting and betterment of mankind. The devout be liever of anv faith will find a hearty welcome and congenial and fraternal surroundings in Athens.
Dispensary.
Athens was one of the pioneer cities to solve the liquor question with a dispensary. So far the results of this solution have been admirable. The sale of intoxicating liquor is unlawful in anv part of Clarke countv and the city of Athens except at this dispensary This eliminates the evils of barrooms in the country, and limits the sale to one place in the city, where it is under strict police supervision and governed by clearly defined and inexorable laws.
The government of the dispensary is in the hands of three commissioners elected by the city council, who in their turn elect the manager and assistant manager. These men are among our best citizens and are of influ ence and probitv. It was admitted that intoxicating liquor would be sold, legally or illegally, and so this scheme was hit upon to curtail this scheme as much as possible, and eliminate as much of the evils as could be eliminated. Xo quantity less than one-half pint can be sold it must be in unbroken packages and none of it can be drunk on the premises or in the >tteets no minor, student of the University of Georgia, or intoxicated person can buy it must be closed at six o'clock every day. and also on holidays, election days and, in the discretion of the com missioners, whenever any unusual excitement or crowd is in the city. So well does this last feature work that
18

when Barntim and Bailey's circus was in Athens, for example, there was not one single arrest for drunkenness, though thousands of strangers were in the city, a thing unprecedented in the history of Athens.
Garden Club.
The Ladies' Garden Club is, perhaps, the first organization of its kind in the country. It is composed of many of the best ladies of the community, who are organized for the purpose of studying practical gardening and flower culture, and has met with marked success. Its annual shows are very fine and attract large crowds.
Fire Department.
The fire department, tinder the energetic management of Chief McDorman, is justly celebrated, and, per haps, has no superior anywhere. The record of loss by fire since the establishment of this department is a re markable one and challenges admiration. The chief and his men are all faithful and efficient and this is one of the very best institutions in the city.
The police department is well organized and efficient, under the control of Chief Gulp. The mayor's court has jurisdiction of all petty cases that arise in the city limits, and the officers of this department are zeal ous and active in ferreting out crime and bringing the offenders to justice.
Manufactories.
The manufacturing enterprises in and about Athens are large and varied. On the Oconee river and the Middle Oconee river, within a few miles of the city limits, are six large cotton factories all running on full time and employing large numbers of hands. There are two foundries and machine works, one knitting-mill, one large pants factory, two bobbin mills, one shoe factory, one cotton-gin factory, one large cord and thread mill, one furniture factory, one steam laundry, two electric plants, three sash, blind and door factories, two ice-works, one cottonseed oil and guano mill, one harness factory, two carriage and buggy factories, besides a large num ber of other manufacturing enterprises too numerous to mention.
Within a radius of fifteen miles of the city there are fourteen or fifteen fine water-powers, ranging from four horse power to four thousand horse power, distributed about in the various rivers and creeks, and the supply
19

of motive power for manufactories i> practically unlimited. It i> doubtful if there is a finer country in this respect, considering it> size and accessibility, in America. The inducements to those who contemplate put ting up manufacturing enterprises is almost unlimited, and a verv cordial welcome is extended to all this class of cttixens.

;





Fanning Lands.

The farming lands about the city and in its vicinity are verv fine. There are no better lands for the culivation of cotton, corn. oats, wheat, hav. barley, rye and all the agricultural and horticultural products. The cotton receipts of Athens are about one hundred thousand bales per annum, and this proportion is kept up in all the other agricultural product>.
There i> no Ixrtter place for a farmer to locate. With climate superb, soil first class, land not too dear, water pure and >\vcet. roads and street.-, magnificent, taxes low, school facilities unparalleled and society and or der the very best, this section offers a safe retreat for those who desire the pursuit of happiness and wealth, free from the terror of labor strikes, the oppression of trusts and the disasters that follow upon adverse winds and waves.
These are some of the advantages that Athens offers to those seeking for homes. And what place in this broad land can offer more? Here you find good society, conservative, religious and tolerant. Here you find a climate that is delightful bright sunshine, sweet air. not too much rain, mild winters, cool summers, glorious autumns, fresh balmv springs, a climate, indeed, that <*i\es life and strength and beautv. Here you find pure water, clear and sparkling, in great abundance. Here nature, with a kind and prodigal hand, has made fruits to grow of every variety, of every season and of a flavor and sweetness that was never dreamed of by the most fastidious epicure of ancient times. Here are educational opportunities outrivaling those of ancient Athens in its best davs so varied as to supply the needs of the highest to the lowliest, so generous as to gi\~e freely, with out monev and without price, and he that thirsts for knowledge can drink deep here at many a Pierian spring, unchecked, to his soul's content, till he shall be a wise, and gentle and useful citizen. Here is law and order. Xo deeds of the mob have ever sullied the fair name of this city, no lynchings, no blood spilled by the mob in its
30

frenzy has ever stained her fair escutcheon. No tampering with the ballot box, and bv false count thus revers ing the will of the people, has ever been permitted. Here religion holds her gentle swav, and peace and pros perity reign here happiness is found, and that man who seeks to fly from the oppression of class laws, from mob violence, from the terror of flood, and the terror of wind and of wave, from the suffering that attends extreme heat or extreme cold, and seeks to fly to a balmy climate, just laws, conservative, law-abiding society, and all the thousand and one good things a kind Providence has provided for men, can rest with the profound assurance that these things are here as much as they are anywhere else in this world.

CAMPUS--UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.

THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.
A'HEXS has grown up around the University which was chartered in 1785 and commenced active operation in 1801. The city owes much to the University, both in its educational influence in the community and in the thousands of dollars which have been disbursed by reason of its location here: a debt which the city nobly recognized and discharged in the gift of Moore College a handsome building shown on the accompany ing illustration. The University, on the other hand, owes much to the citv. and its authorities find pleasure in recognizing the obligation.
Athens, the Ideal University Town.
An institution of learning located in a large citv is a side issue; it is lost in the magnitude of other in terests. If located in a small village, it lacks the inspiration of an adequate social and community life. Stand ing between these extremes, Athens is an ideal citv for the location of the University. Its students are received as boarders and guests in the homes of the people. The community life is in touch \vith the student life. A young man who wins a distinction of making a fine speech or writing a notable essay, or by any excellence of scholarship or character, feels that the people of the city are cognizant of his success and interested in it. The eye of the community is on the student body. This is at once a conserving and inspiring influence.
The University's Centennial.
In 1901 the University will look down on the descending terraces of a hundred years of her history. She has reason to be proud of that century's record, and has just cause to celebrate it, as will be done at the next Commencement, in the most signal way possible. Her alumni are her jewels. It would not be fitting to name the living, among whom are Senators, Representatives in Congress, Supreme Court Judges, Railroad presidents, leading Merchants, successful Fanners and men eminent in every walk in life. A few names only can be se lected from the roll of the Alumni.

Bill Arc's Opinion.

Our genial friend, Col. Charles II. Smith, holds that "Athens is still the central seat of art and learning, of good morals and good manners, and the pride of our State, and that citizen is not to be envied whose love of learning and whose reverence for historic virtue does not gain force as he ponders upon her history of a hundred
years."

LAW DEPARTMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.
T HE Law Department of the University of Georgia enters upon its 4ist session with the largest attendance of students in its history, the enrollment at the opening being sixty. It is confidently expected that the total enrollment for the session of 1900-1901 will reach eighty. Since the inauguration of the Depart ment in August, 1859, under the three first instructors therein--Joseph Henry Lumpkin, William Hope Hull and Thomas R R. Cobb, the names of those who have most sign-Ally adorned the profession of the State are to be found among its graduates. By reason of the. increased attendance of the last three years, the Trustees have taken steps looking to the lengthening of the course in this department from one to two years. When this is successfully inaugurated, it will add the only thing lacking to make this deparment the equal of any of the firstclass schools of the country.
As at present constituted the faculty of the department is as follows: Walter Barnard Hi'l, Chancellor. Sylvauus Morris, Dean and Professor of Law. Howell Cobb, Professor of Law. Samuel C. Benedict, Lecturer on Medical Jurisprudence. John D. Mell, Lecturer on Parliamentary Law. T- H. T. McPherson. Lecturer on Roman Law.

BASEBALL TEAM --UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA ATHLETICS.

T HE history of Athletics at tltis institution begins about the year 1890. Baseball had been played long be fore that time, of course, but organized athletics as we know them date from thai period. The past ten years have brought us munv varied experiences, many vicissitudes, many victories, and--well, some de

feats. Our teams have varied greatIv in ability, weight, team-work and game-winning, but on the whole we

have much to be proud of in the way they have always struggled for the honor of their college. The list of our

strong men includes such remarkable athletes as Nallev. Butler, Cothran.the two Prices, Kent, Walden. Rirchie,

Lovejoy, Morris, the two Halls. Tichenor. McBride. the lamented Von Gammon, Moore, Richardson, Cox and

many others equally famous in their college generation. Among the nota' le victories in football are those over

Sewanee in '95 and '96. over Vanderbilt in '98, over North Carolina in '96, and over Auburn in '94 and '96.

The season of '96 was the most successful we have ever had, an unbroken series of victories rewarding Capt.

Xallev and his men for their excellent work. In baseball the victories have been equally noteworthy. Among

them may be mentioned those over the Universities of Pennsylvania. North Carolina and Virginia, Auburn,

Vanderbilt, and Mercer. The most remarkable game in our athletic history was in June. 1897, against Virginia.

Five of our 'Varsity players were suspended by the faculty for neglect of study, and their places had to be taken

almost at a moment's notice and without any chance for practice, by substitutes and inexperienced players. They

form a roll of honor: G. W. Price, II. Lovejoy, M. D. DuBose, W. R. Tichenor. A. J. McBride, J. T. Moore,

C. A. Weddington. S. K. Abbott, A. S. Richardson.

Full of a splendid determination to save Georgia from an overwhelming defeat, they literally put in their

best licks with the result of knocking Collier and Pinkerton out of the box and winning the game for the Red

and Black. Richardson's home run hit, with three men on bases, was an incident of the day. Tin's game was

hardly more oi a credit to us than that other victory when our young baseball team of last season, five of them

being freshmen, armed with abundant college spirit, team work and grit, met the veteran team of Mercer on their

own grounds and signally defeated them by a score of 4 to i. These victories are but the forerunners of others to

come, if the best traditions of our past are carefully followed. In track athletics we have always been rather

strong, but distance and lack of funds have prevented our sending teams to compete in the Intercollegiate Meets,

with the exception of the year '96 and '97. In '97 we won the Southern Championship in track athletics. Ten

nis has always been popular here, and in DuBose and L. Cothran we have had particularly skillful and success

ful players. No one man has done more for the elevation and development of athletics here than Dr. C. H.

Herty. His efforts have been untiring and successful. AVe have had three coaches from Cornell--Brown,

Warner and Saussy; one, Winston. from Yale: one, McCarthy, from Brown. This year we have in Mr. E. E.

Jones our first Princeton coach. Under his able instruction we have full confidence that Capt. McCutchen and

his team will make an honorable record for Georgia this season. Games will be played with the Technological

School, Sewanee, Clemson, Auburn, South Carolina, and possibly Davidson and Wofford. With an efficient

coach, an able captain, and an experienced manager, we may hope great things.

THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.

T HIS institution, which is located on the suburbs of Athens, has hud a phenomenal growth, which lias not been equaled by any similar institution in any part of the United States. It is not yet six years old. but up to date 2.960 of the teachers of Georgia have received the benefits of this school. Last year 124 counties were represented, so that its influence reaches every corner of the State. The enrollment last year was 712. the largest school in the State.
Under careful and economical management all expenses of living have not exceeded $8.00 per month. There are no fees and tuition is free.
Clurke county takes an especial pride in this school,- 207 of her young men and young women having at tended since its permanent organization, April 17, 1895. From a pecuniary standpoint it is of great benefit to Athens and the surrounding country--not less than $75,000, having been spent here last year. Athens as a market has superior facilities, and therefore everything in the way of supplies is purchased here. Personal supervision is the secret of the success which has attended the efforts of the President. The State Normal School has, therefore, been placed in reach of the struggling teachers of Georgia, who are working in the school rooms of the State on meagre salaries.
The taxpayers get an immediate return for the money invested in the State Normal School. The teach ers who have been trained here, apply the improved knowledge and plans thus gained in the schools the same ye ir.
Is not the State Normal School worthy of the fostering care of the Legislature?

LUCY COIlll INSTITUTK. SENEY-STOVALL CHAPKL.

LUCY COBB HISTORY.
E ARLY in the year 1857 there appeared in the Athens Watchman a striking article on the subject of "The Education of Our Girls." The article called attention to the fact that the State provided at Athens every advantage of culture and education for the boys, but had made no provision for the girls. It proceeded to show that woman had received from her Creator "the same intellectual constitution as man, and had the same right as man to intellectual culture and development." The article was signed "Mother," and it was a most earnest plea for equal advantages of education to both girls and bovs. It caught the quick eve of Gen. T. R. R. Cobb, at the time one of the leading lawyers and most progressive men of the town. lie had several intelligent and promising young daughters, and he at once realized the necessity of providing such a school in the town as would obviate the necessity of sending girls out of the State to be educated. Xo sooner did he see that a thing ought to be done than he went to work to do it. Being a leader in almost every worthy enterprise of the town, he soon succeeded in raising a sufficient amount of money to purchase the land and to have erected the present school building. He believed that everything that was worth doing at all was worth doing well, so that the building was designed and erected in the very best way. After its completion the equipment was the very best that could be secured. The parlors, bedrooms, school halls, and table appointments were all furnished in the most comfortable and attractive manner.
"Lucy Cobb" was designed as a home for her pupils, and essentially a home it was then and has been ever since. A faculty of the very best teachers was employed, and in 1858 the doors of the institute were thrown open to the young women of the South. Just about the time of the opening of the school, Lucy Cobb, the eldest daughter of Gen. T. R. R. Cobb, died, and the trustees, who had been chosen by the stockholders of the school to govern its affairs, met and unanimously decided to name it in honor of her, the daughter of its founder.
The school from its beginning, became popular, and wrasthen, as it is now, patronized by the best families throughout the South. Even during the Civil War, when business was interrupted, railroad communication de stroyed, fortunes threatened, this school was full. During its history of forty years there have been three gentle men presidents and four lady principals to preside at separate times over its interests and affairs. R. M. Wright was in charge from 1859-1860; W. H. Muller, 1860-1862; Madame S. Sosnowski, 1862-1869; Rev. Mr. Jacobs, 1869-1870; Mrs. A. E. Wright, 1870-1873; Mrs. A. E. Wright and Rev. P. A. Heard, Associate Principals,

F r tue Pa5t seventeen years Lucy Cobb has been under the management of Miss M. Rutherford and

Mr>. M. A. Lipscomb. nieces, of Gen. T. R. R. Cobb. the founder, and. what seems something of a coincidence,

the daughters of the mother whose article on 'The Education of Our Girls" first attracted the notice of General

Cobb. . ;

Year bv vear the curriculum of the Institute has been advanced, until at present it is abreast with the

leading colleges for voting women in the land. Within the last few vears a beautiful addition to the school has

been made, the Seney-Stovall Chapel, a gift from Mr. George I. Senev. of Xew York. For beauty, taste, and

elegance it is. perhaps, unexcelled bv any other school chapel in the South. It is most admirably adapted to all

commencement exercises and entertainments. When the building was completed Mr. Seney placed in it a large

pipe organ, made by Hook & Hastings.

There is a pleasant piece of history connected with Mr. Senev's interest in the Lucy Cobb and his numer

ous gifts. When it became apparent that a new chapel was necessary for the advancement of the school. Miss

Rutherford, who was then the principal. l>egan to devise means to secure the necessary funds to build it. The

citizens of Athens were called upon for contributions. Many of them responded, but the fund collected was not

sufficient. Finally, one day Miss Rutherford called the school together and asked if each girl would not make an

individual effort to secure the needed funds outside of Athens. The pupils were enthusiastic, and wrote to their

varion> friends and the leading philanthropists of the North and South for aid. many of whom responded with

gift> from five dollars up to five hundred. Gen. Henry R. Jackson, of Savannah, Ga., was one of the most

liberal contributor.-.. A beautiful and girlish letter from the hand of Miss Nellie Stovall, telling the needs of the

school, touched the heart of Mr. George I. Seney, and the Seney-Stovall Chapel, which to-day stands as a monu

ment to a cultured Southern woman and to this great philanthropist, was the result.

Such is in part the history of the Lucy Cobb Institute, an institution which is proud to claim among her

alumna- many of the leading and most influential Christian women in the South.

The school is without endowment, but the present Principal is laboring to secure an educational fund

which will enable her to throw open the doors to deserving and ambitious young women, loans to be advanced

to them to meet the needs of their education on condition that when they become self-supporting those funds are

to be returned and again appropriated to other young women under the same conditions. Thus the educational

fund will become a constant benefaction.

THE ATHENS CITY SCHOOLS.

I X October, 1885, lion. R. B. Russell, the representative of Clarke county in the Georgia Legislature, secured the passage of a law authorizing the establishment of a system of Public Schools for the city of Athens. In December of the same year, the City Council elected a Board of Education which was organized as follows :

V

*

V?

A. L. Hull, President; R. K. Reaves, Yice-President; C. D. Flanigen. Secretary; R. Xickerson. Treasurer.

The other members were : Messrs. Charles Stern, J. H. Rucker, A. J. Cobb, R. B. Russell. D. C. Barrow, Jr.

The Board elected Mr. E. C. Branson Superintendent of the Schools. During the first year, the schools enrolled

i ,085 pupils who were taught by twenty teachers.

The schools are just beginning their fifteenth year. Some idea of their growth can be gained from the fact

that last year they enrolled 1,588 pupils who were taught by thirty-five teachers. Fifteen years ago the city did

not own a single school building. Now it owns three wood buildings, and two handsome brick buildings. The

Athens schools were the first schools in Georgia to introduce Vocal Music and Clay-modeling as an integral part

of their course of study. The schools are absolutely free to all resident pupils between the ages of six and eigh

teen. Non-resident pupils are charged a nominal tuition fee The methods of instruction are thoroughly up to

date as measured by the best European standards. The Board of Education is at present organized as follows :

Hon. John D. Mell, President; Mr. E. R. Hodgson, Yice-President; Mr. C. D. Flanigen, Secretary; Mr. A. L.

Hull, Treasurer, and the following members : Messrs. D. C. Barrow, J. A. Hunnictitt, E. I. Smith, R. C. Orr.

B. F. Elliott, John Gerdine and Charles Stern.

THE EAST ATHENS NIGHT SCHOOL.
O X the evening of December 10, 1897, Miss Louie Lane, with a philanthropic spirit worthv of Elizabeth Fry or Dorothea Dix, opened a night school in East Athens for the gratuitous instruction of young people whose daily employment in factories, and other industries, precluded their attendance upon the public schools of the city.
Ten scholars were enrolled the first night and this number grew to more than one hundred. Of the industry, perseverance, eagerness to learn and surprising progress of many of the Night School pupils, most interesting accounts may be given. Suffice it to say neither teachers nor pupils of the institution care to "tread the primrose path of dalliance." and they hold in extreme contempt the old English proverb which says, "It were better to be eaten to death with rust, than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion." The studies pursued at the East Athens Night School are largely, although not entirely, elementary. But there is nothing taught in any school whether common, academic or collegiate, of more practical value than reading, writing and arithmetic. The ability to read unlocks the museum of knowledge. It is the open sesame to treasures more precious than gold. As for arithmetic it is of more utility to the merchant, the banker, the butcher, the blacksmith, than all the "ologies" combined. Nor is the ability to write a fairly intelligible hand to be despised. To write of the curriculum of the Night School and fail to mention the department of bookkeeping would be an oversight indeed. This course, a reality through the generous instrumentality of a gentleman Athens delights to honor, has even now brought forth fruits an hundredfold, preparing its beneficiaries thoroughly, ably and in an incredibly short time for the emergencies of life. In connection with the Night School is an admirable library, where the pupils have the privilege of read ing, and from which, each month, hundreds of wholesome papers, magazines and books are circulated. The possession of valuable reading is an inestimable blessing to both rich and poor, to both aged and young. "No matter how poor I am," says Channing, "no matter though the prosperous of my own time will not enter my obscure dwelling, I shall not pine for want of intellectual companionship if Milton will cross my threshold to sing to me of Paradise, and Shakespeare open to me worlds of the imagination and the workings of the human heart, and Franklin enrich me with his practical wisdom." The crowning glory of East Athens Night School, however, is the culture of the heart which lies beyond the sphere of direct tuition and is received from the unconscious influence of noble examples. The teachers and other benefactors of this institution will be remembered by the pupils, not so much for what they may have taught and given, but they will be remembered as illustrations of lofty moral and religious principles, of loyalty
to truth and devotion to duty. Long may the East Athens Night School flourish. And may some future graduate say of its self-sacrificing
Principal what Mrs. Sigourney said of Miss Emma Willard, "More than five thousand have been under her in
struction, and in every State in our Union they lovingly remember her."

J. L. Erwin,

Without the inspiration of noble woman. life's work is a dismal failure. Her smiles and inspiration lighten the burden of life. The Athens Carnival Association certainly has been most fortunate in securing the co-operation of the noble women of Athens in making a certain success of this undertaking for the city's interest. The Indies Auxiliary Association that has in charge the Battle of Flowers has been an important factor in the success of the Carnival.
Mrs. II. C. White, as Chairman of the committee of ladies, has rendered invaluable aid to the Carnival As sociation. Mrs. White has always been one of the most active leaders im Athens in all good movements that needed the assistance of the ladies. Her work as President of the Industrial Home, as Chairman of the Ladies' Guild of Emanuel Episcopal Church, and as the chief worker in numerous other worthy movements, stands as a monument to her noble and generous nature.

Mrs. Billups Phinizv is vice-chairman of the committee of ladies. Mrs. Phinizv is one of the most lovely and accomplished voting matrons in the State. She alwavs takes deep interest in the work necessary to carry worthy movements to success. As Miss Nellie Stovall she was one of the Classic City's most popular young ladies. While attending Lucy Cobb Institute she succeeded in securing from Mr. George I. Seney the money with which the Seney-Stovall Chapel was built.

Mrs. Charles A. Scudder, nee Miss Xina Wilkins, of Waynesboro. is secretary of the committee of ladies.

Mrs. Scudder. with characteristic energy, has carried on the work of correspondence so faithfully as to make

the arrangements for the Battle of Flowers most successful Mrs. Scudder's work has been of the highest order

and has been of great assistance to the Carnival Association.

INDUSTRIES OF ATHENS.
The cotton manufacturing industry of Athens is an important factor^in the growth and progress of this section of the countrv. Most of the mills in this section are in an excellent and prosperous condition, notwith standing the abnormal condition that the cotton market has been in for the last fifteen months.
The Star Thread Mill.
The Star Thread Mill, about nine miles from Athens, just across Clarke coimtv line. It was started a number of vears ago and has increased, with skillful management, until it is now one of the best pieces of pav ing propertv in the South, runs 6.000 spindles, consumes 2.ocx> bales of cotton yearly. Captain James White, one of the most prominent financiers in the South. i> president of this organization. Mr. John White Morton, is agent. The Star Thread Mill is one of the best known yarn-mill* in the South.
The Princeton Manufacturing Company.
The Princeton Manufacturing Company is another prosperous mill, situated three miles from Athens on the Middle Oconee River. Has four spindles and ti>es 2.<xx> bales of cotton yearly. The mill is owned by Capt. James White, president of the National Bank and several other prominent institutions. Mr. John W. Morton is agent. Under the skillful management of the above-named gentlemen. Princeton Factory has taken a fore most rank amongst the manufacturing industries ol the South, and there is always a market for Princeton goods. Princeton Duck Rope is probably better known than any like product in the South.
The Athens Manufacturing Company.
One of the flourishing industries of Athens is the Athens Manufacturing Company, which has the latest equipments. Two large factories with all the necessary outbuildings. The factory is well-equipped with ma chinery, the lower factory having something over io,ocx> spindles. The Check factory is equipped with over 3000 looms, and is kept running all the while.
The Georgia Factory.
One of the oldest factories in this section of the State, and situated in this county about five miles from the city, is the Georgia Manufacturing Company. It is owned by Messrs. John R. White, James White, Mrs.

W. P. Welch and Mrs. W. J. Morton. It is operated by Mr. Jno. R. White, one of the most experienced oper ators in the State. The mill now has over 12.000 spindles. The machinery is of such a quality so that yarns of such as Xo. So can be spun. Captain White says that the business of the factory has never been better and that it is all he can do to fill orders when they come in. Such a manufacturing industry is the Georgia Manu facturing Company, and is a credit to Athens, the County, and Georgia.
Whitehall Manufacturing Company.
This mill in Whitehall. Georgia, while it has only been in existence about eighteen months, is one of the most prosperous in Georgia. The mill is owned by one of the best known and ablest financiers in Georgia, Mr. Jno. R. White. This factory employs about two hundred hands, and makes a high grade of yarns.
The Mallison Braided Cord Company. L. F. EDWARDS, PRESIDENT.
This is one of the most successful and prosperous industries in Georgia. It employs about eighty hands, and] consumes from five to ten bales of cotton daily. It manufactures braided cords, clothes-lines, back-bands, webbing, etc.
This thriving industry has a capital of about $50,000, and pays to its owners a very large interest in their investment. The goods are sold in almost every part of the United States and Canada. The shrewd business management in locating this mill at a point where competition in freight is so generous, and in one of the most prosperous cotton belts of the South, where the product is brought to the door of the factory, together with the shrewd and economical management, makes this one of the best paying institutions in Georgia.
Tallahassee Power Company.
For the past four months work has been progressing on a development at Tallahassee Shoals, seven miles from Athens, that promises much for the city in cheapening power for small manufactories. The magnificent water-power at that point will be utilized under a 45-foot head to furnish power to two pairs of turbine wheels direct connected to electrical generators of the most modern and effective type. The current so generated will be transmitted under high pressure to the city and will be available for manufactories of all sorts, from a cotton mill to a roller cover mill.
The work at the Shoals is of the most solid and substantial character, the dam being of rock 27 feet high, and the tail race cut out of solid rock for a distance of six hundred feet. No such development has ever been at tempted in this vicinity, and no-plant in the South will be more complete and up-to-date in every detail of con struction and operation.
49

The men backing this enterprise have always been leaders in the development and upbuilding of Athens.

They have an abiding faith in the future of the city, feeling confident that the steady growth and development of

the past twenty years is only an indication of more extensive and greater things in the future.

The" directors of the Company are A. H. Hodgson, J. Y. Carithers, E. R. Hodgson. W. T. Bryan and J.

M. Hodgson. and the officers are A. H. Hodgson, President, J. Y. Carithers, Vice-President, and W. T. Bryan,

Secretary and Treasurer. C. D. Fianigen is Engineer of Construction. The work will be completed in 1901 in

time for the fall business.

Lumber and Planing- Mills.

Barrett Lumber Company, the Dozier Lumber Company, and the R. L. Moss Lumber and Planing Mills

are among the leading and most prosperous of Athens enterprises.

Thos. Barley & Co.'s Foundry and Machine Shops are among the oldest and best known in Georgia. The Athens Oil Mill and Ice Plant adds another to the list of successful Athens enterprises.

HOME OFFICE SOUTHERN' MUTtTAL INSURANCE CO.

Southern mutual Insurance Company,

"THE MARVEL OF THE INSURANCE WORLD."
This company was organized in 1847, by citizens of Athens, and for fifty-two years it has made a record without parallel in the insurance business.
It has paid to its members in Losses $4,209,441.63, and returned to them in Dividends the enormous sum of 14,590,697.27, besides setting aside a Reserve Fund of nearly one million dollars.
The company has held a prominent place in the history of the business of Athens, and has numbered among its officers many of its well-known citizens.
In its earlier years, and until after the war, its destinies were directed by Hon. Asbury Hull as President, and Mr. Albon Chase as Secretary, and to them is due the credit of laying the foundation of an institution that has grown to be famous.
Following the war, Hon. Young L. G. Harris as President, and Col. Stevena Thomas as Secretary, successfully con ducted its affairs until their deaths, and left it a monument to their integrity and ability.
The company is now composed of about fourteen thousand members, and confines its operations entirely to the State of Georgia, where it has done inestimable good in reducing the cost of insurance to every property-owner in the State.
Owing to the careful selection by its officers and agents, of risks, and members, its loss record shows about one-half the percentage of loas suffered by other companies
The entire profits of the business, after deducting actual Losses and Expenses, are returned to the policy-holders. The present officers are:

WILLIAM W. THOMAS,
PRESIDENT AND TREASURER.
EDWARD S. lA'XDON, BILLUPS FHINIZY, JAMBS WHITE,
