Removal of Mercer University Sparks Georgia Debate
A Macon Telegraph reprints J G McCall of Quitman on Mercer removal. The letter questions plan to relocate Mercer University from Macon, warning of harm to education and church ties, potential state capital shifts, and lasting divisions. The writer likens the move to destructive past actions and urges careful consideration of consequences.
