A number of exceedingly clever acts, mixed In with several that would hardly answer to that description, comprises the bill at the Orpheuin this week, ns presented Monday night to nil audience that taxed the ckparity of the theater. The Yninomotn brothers, Japanese equili brists, are about na clever In this line of work as they get fo Is*.

The men who own the properties should call off their un wise Georgia agents and their foolish friends.” Disfranohisement Act, Upon the subject of the recent leg islation providing for a constitutional amendment by which It Is claimed 90 per cent of the negroes of Georgia will lose the right to vote, Governor Smith said, In part: “The constitutional amendment changing the franchise law of the state will be voted upon next year. I have no doubt that It will be over whelmingly approved at the ballot box. With Its adoption the white people of every county and every community In Georgia will have the assurance that elections can be conducted In future with perfect fairness, free from any cunning devices, and yet all danger from the Ignorant, purchasable negro vote will cease. I believe that tne ne groes will be greatly benefited by the condition which will follow. Les* fric tion Is apt to occur between tho two races and more of kindness will mani fest Itself In the treatment of the ne gro by the white man. Even the, most rabid of the Northern press concede that the law la constitutional.” Batter Rural Schools. The governor devoted a part of his speech to education, which Is always one of his favorite themes, and espe-. dally stressed the Importance of better rural schools. On this subject he said; “We love our state; we love our chil dren. By both these ties wo must pro vide a thorough and efficient system of education. It must reach from the grammar school to the college. It must provide for the industrial training, the mental training and the agricultural training of the Doya and girls. “I wish especially, however, to re fer to the rural schools. *T wish to arouse the zeal of the county hoards of education all over the state. I would have them comprehend the Importance of the trust placed upon them. It might be well to provide for their election at the ballot box by ull the people. Be this as It may. none but men earnestly devoted to the work should serve In these high places. “There Is no more Important position In your county than that of county school commissioner. The man who fills this position should be Inspired by a consecrated purpose to serve the chil dren of his county. If he Is not a trained educator, then you should give him an assistant who Is a trained ed ucator. You can obtain the services of a competent womnn. thoroughly fit ted for the work, to take the position of assistant commissioner. It Is Im possible to fill all of our rural schools with teachers fully equipped for the service. “Tsach the T*achers.* , “They will need In each county a leader who can go Into the school room and take a class and handle It with perfect skill.

We must Improve the standard of our schools and we must continue to Im prove them until we reach the very top and then must mark a still higher standard and move on to it. “I wish again to call attention to tho fact that the negro school should differ from 'the white school. To really ben efit the negro child you must realize the condition of the child and the con dition of the race. One half the time the negro child Is In school could prof itably be given to manual labor. You must train the negro children through your school houses to labor with their hands that they may meet the require ments of their future lives.” Fiftcon-Cent Cotton. In connection, with the discussion of the material growth of the state the governor said in part: “The people of a state can not reach their highest opportunity when their efforts are limited to a single Industry. It Ih necessary to diversify agricultural efforts to obtain from the soil the best returns. Commerce, manufacturing and agriculture by their development mutually help each other, but the cot ton crop furnishes tho chief foundation of all our material growth. “If from the farina of Georgia tho foodstuffs for Georgians la produced, the hope of the most ambitious for years to come will be realised. Our manufacturers are growing and many are now chipping thelr products to oth er states and countries, hut still tho one great source of revenue, far In ex cess of all others which goes out of Georgia to bring back money to Geor gia, Is lint cotton. If a good cotton crop is raised and sold at a good prlco every sphere of life throughout the state will feel the effect and prosperity will be general. “The merchant, the banker, the pro fessional man, the real estate holder, whether urban or rural, is directly in terested In the price which cotton brings. The people of our section and state can contribute to raise or lower the price and all facts connected with this important subject should be stud ied, not alone by the farmer, but by every class of our citizens. World’s Most Wonderful Crop. Cotton has been the most wonderful crop ever gathered from the earth.
