Judge James K. Hines has refused
to be the populist caudidate for gov
ernor of Georgia, and this may be
accepted as the conclusion of the
last effort to rejuvenafe the populist
party as a political factor in this
state.
The question of the purchase of

well for this oountry that the refusal
be made absolute.
Democratic success does not de
pend upon the condemnation or vin

is being ^ery much magnified by ed

tion, and a large number of them
cannot be accommodated unless the
authorities make additional provis
ions for'the schools.
In Oconee Superior epurt at Ath
ens last week Judge R. B. Russell
decided that the Georgia farm con
tract law is unconstitutional. One
of the grounds upon which the de
cision is based is “that the act is
class legislation, calculated to bene
fit farmers and no others.”

Where’s the Responsibility?
It is a trite saying, old as our
memory,.that
“There’s more in the man than in
the land.”
Certain it is that the land yields
most to him who manipulates it to
the best advantage.
In another column appears an ar
ticle from a Houston county farmer,
in which we find this noteworthy
sentence:
“If all the young white men who
are loafing aroun<| the towns, hunt
ing for easy snapB and big money,,
would come out and take the plows,
tlieir fathers would not be crying
out, ‘Labor is scarce; no dependence
in the negro.’ ”
We are glad to say that this
scarcely applies to anybody in Ber
ry.
However, it is true that within
recent years a large percentage of
young sons of well-to-do farmers
have forsaken the country for city
life.
Just where the responsibility rests
we are unable to Bay, but we do
know that the result is decidedly
hurtful to the agricultural business
and to a majority of the aforesaid
young men. “In the sweai of thy
face shalt thou earn bread” is a di
vine injunction that oannot be eva
ded with impunity.
There may be modified interpre
tations, but he that gets money
without work will not enjoy it with
a clear conscience.
It is true that all men need not
work on farms, nor is it desirable
that all should, but many who could
be sovereigns on farms have become
slaves in cities—to their necessities,
their appetites and circumstances
inimicable to the correot develop
ment of moral character and genu
ine manhood.
The son on the verge of manhood
may have in mind only the future
that he may use for his own benefit.
If so, he has surely forgotten some
thing, or failed to appreciate the
circumstances and conditions of his
boyhood and youth. The father and
mother have made him what he i-,
and to them he owes muoh consid
eration. in the future. It may i *
that-they need nothing from him
material form. Be this as it inuy,
the young man who considers the
future for himself without
thought of mother or father in
plans, is certainly lacking in
knowledge of his indebtedness,
nothing else, he owes to them
training and the privileges, and the
least he can in honor give them is a
pure manhood.
Whether this oan be easiest at
tained and maintained on the farm
or in the city, we dare not say.
But, whatever the decision as to
where the work should be begun
and prosecuted, there must be no
shirking of duty, no waiting for an
opportunity, no hunting for “little
work and big pay.”
Many young men more than are
now oh the farms are needed there,
and many in the cities are worse
than useless.
There is enormous responsibility
somewhere—we do not attempt to
locate it.

Ie the oitizens of Atlanta are alive
to the material interests of the city,
Oapt. Evan P. Howell will be their
next mayor. Throughout a life of
active service, he has been zealous in
promoting the public weal, and with
faithfulness and ability he has. serv
ed the state, the city and the peo
ple while serving himself in busi
ness. As editor of. the Atlanta Con
stitution for many years, the Home
Journal has often disagreed with
his political policies, but with rare
exceptions he convinced the people
that he was right, and success fol
lowed, He has proven himself a safe
leader on progressive lines.
It is said that Senator McLaurin
of South Carolina declined to accept
the appointment to a judgship of
the federal court of claims because
of a newspaper charge that his
change from democracy to republi
canism was a matter of bargain and
sale. If this sensitiveness to news
paper criticism had developed a year
or more ago, the. junior South.Caro
lina senator would not now l be a dis
owned prodigal son of democracy,
and anjunappreeiated servitor of re

Technical education not only
thoroughly equips a man for special
work, but renders it - easier for him
to do anything else that requires
knowledge and application. ,
“Of What value can a school of
two to three months, taught by a
$20 teacher, be to a community?”
asks the Educational Bulletin. “It
can only be a waste of money. Ev
ery man can’t have a school at his
door. It will be much better for the
children to walk two 4 miles to a sik
months’ school than to have a three
months’ school at the door.
“In some states they have found
it to be much cheaper to furnish
free transportation, and maintain
fewer schools, than to have many
schools located conveniently to the
pupils. It is not only found cheap
er, but a larger and more regular at
tendance is secured and more good
accomplished for the money.”
Throughout Georgia the pnblic
sohool system is a problem difficult
of solution. The financial condition
of the state has prohibited the ap
propriate of more monfey, and the
amount available is entirely inade
quate to the needs of the cause.
The teachers are obliged to wait for
the money they earn, the salaries
paid are too small to prove attract
ive to men and women who have at
tained thorough equipment and pro
pose to make teaching their life
work. The time is too snort to meet
the needs of the children.
The suggestion above quoted is
receiving consideration in Houston
and other oounties. - Some time ago
Oommissioner Smith told us that he
desired to adopt a method of con
solidation, or centralization, where
by the schools of the county would
be improved in nearly every partic
ular.
Let the patrons think on this line
and co-operate with the county
board and Commissioner Smith.
The department of Agriculture has
received complaints of a new' cattle
dise’ase in south Georgia, which is
causing no little anxiety. It is said
a cow afflicted with this disease will
suddenly start on a run for a stump
or tree and there soratch her head
until all the skin is off. Later the
head will swell up and within a few
l ours death ensues. The depart-
lirtn. is at a loss to know just what
disease is, and having no funds
at its disposal with which to employ
a veterinary surgeon, can only fur
nish such information as is at hand.
So far, however, the department has
failed to classify the new complaint,
but letcers with regard to it contin
ue to come in.-Atlanta Constitution.
