Tne Norcrsso Advance. FRIDAY, SEPT. 12TH. 1873. JAS. P. SIMMONS, ( p ... JAS. U. VINCENT. $ Edltors - GEORGIA STATE FAIR. Will our readers peruse the ad vertisement of the Georgia State Fair in this issue. It will no doubt be the greatest display ever made in the South. The irrepressible Huff, the Honor able Mayor of Macon, has made a tour North and West in behalf of the Fair. He never fails. He knows no such word. He is de termined that Georgia shall take the first rank among the States. His whole soul seems imbued with a patriotism that will ele vate and immortalize loved old Georgia. There will be gathered together at Macon in panoramic view the highest achievements of mind and muscle in all the avo cations of life. Lessons practi cal and precious can bo learned ’ from everything exhibited. We insist that Northeast and North west Georgia be well represented at this oui greatest State Fair. Our people can get many of those fine premiums, and besides this can learn many needed lessons. CO-EDUCATION OF THE SEXES. NUMBER II . In our articles upon tins sub ject we are as yet simply noti cing the objections to it. This we do briefly but with the hope that we make ourself understood. One of the oldest objections to the co-education of the sexes is “it would corrupt morals and manners,” “it would destroy the delicacy of female character.” This is a relic of Puritarism. The theory is denied by experience, and long since given up by all who know anything of co-educa tion by actual experience. We know that the association of men and women together in thS labors and pleasures of life is beneficial to both, “She humanizes him, and he . Educates her to Liberty. ” Much more beneficial is associa tion properly restricted, to girls and boys. The latter grow less rude and more refined,the former less frivolous and their minds are deepened. But it is objected that matrimo rial engagements would be form ed. This is quite likely, indeed it is confirmed by experience. But are the circumstances for these engagements any more un favorable where young men and young women are brought to gether both for labor and gayety than when they meet for gayety only ? Most engagements are now made between those who meet at balls or in the parlor, who prome nade by gas-light, and who make known only their powers of pleas ing. A prolific realm of divorce seed is this. Would it not be better for such unions that the parties entering them should know some thing of the mind and character of each other? Young mon and women who study together, learn not only each other, but they also learn to interpret human nature as exhibited in all the faces they meet in after life. This is not an unimportant lesson. Had it been learned, many existing unhappy marriages would not have been— many wretched women of to-day would have known the differ ence between a real true man, and a gassy hollow pretender. But the matrimonial engage ments formed at mixed schools are few. They do not exceed those formed between girls at female colleges and tidily dressed clippers of calico or high topped followers of Blackstone. Since the year 1848, when there were but 6,(MU) miles of completed railroad in the country,, the rail road system of the United States j had increased, on January 1,1873, to 71,000 miles in actual operation , with 8,000 more in process of con struction. Out of seventy-four senators of the last Congress eight have still their back pay standing to their credit, and out of two hundred and fifty-two members and dele gates, five have still their back pay undrawn. There is a bitter contest for the Radical nomination for Governor in Mississippi going on between Ames, the leader of the most vio lent faction, and Powers, the rep resentative of the conservative element. Men are like bugles: the more brass they contain, the more noise they make, and tho farther you [ can hear them. Mosby is going to Richmond to | practice law. HIS EXCELLENCY GOV. J. M. SMITH AND THE COMMON SCHOOL SYSTEM, In a most excellent speech de livered on the 3d instant, to the Ex-Cadet Association in Atlan ta, His Excellency Gov. Smith said : “We can never make the common school system successful until we multiply our higher in stitutions of learning.” Os the many opportune and wise remarks made recently by Gov. Smith none contain so much truth as the foregoing. Whether consci ously or unconsciously he gave utterance in it to one of the grandest practical truths that pertain to the educational inter ests of Georgia, and one too which can be fully comprehen ded and appreciated only by the practical educators of the State. It is a fact, palpable to every leading teacher in the State, that the public schools are failures—that the major part of the public school funds is wast ed, and that the public school system, though backed by mil lions, can never be successful un til educated intellect takes con trol of and works in the schools. What Georgia needs is teachers —thoroughly educated teachers — men and women whose minds grasp the possibilities of human development, physical, mental, and moral. Prussia,whose match less system of education now chal lenges the world and whose edu cated soldierly dwarfs the great est armies of Europe, became greatest through her educated College faculties. Iler motto: “Whatever you would have in a nation put it into your schools,” is the substratum principle upon which rest her national Super structure and grandeur. The clamour here in Georgia for the immediate education of all our people is buncombe. The at tempt is a sham and a falsehood. Educate the whole people in deed ! How can the whole peo ple be educated when we have no educators ? Educate the whole people by paying from the State treasury a pitiable sum to a class of illiterate so-called teachers who rush out of an August sun into the shade merely to make a little pocket change, who do not understand the punctuation points in reading—who force boys and girls to memorize even the reading in the spelling book— and who themselves have no con ception of an education, much less any idea of the proper edu cation of a whole nation. Yes, do it, and then put the stars in your hat and hang the Chattahoochee River on a clothes line to dry. No more is now being done for the education of the masses than would* be done did we have no common school system. The lit tle fund offered by the State tends rather to paralyze the ef forts of communities than to ali gnment them. The pitiable sala ries offered can not secure com petent teachers, and incompetent teachers do detriment instead of good to the educational interests. If Georgia desires to educate her whole people she had best contribute every spare dollar for the next ten years to the enlarge ment of the State University. She needs a Normal University to which the young men and wo men of the State can go and become educated themselves and thereby become competent to teach others. She needs a free Normal University and the thou sands now wasted upon incom petent old fogy teachers would in ten years give her one of the best. This done, Georgia can’begin to educate her whole people and imitate Prussia.— Until this is done or some means provided for the education of teachers, all attempts Wr universal education will prove abortive. — Wo see no sense in longer pet- I ting an inefficient school system. ; It is a failure and the people know "it, and we say save the money. GAINESVILLE EAGLE. OoL Redwine announces that Hon. Van Estes is now associate editor of the Eagle. We chroni-I cle this fact with pleasure, and welcome friend Estes into the quill fraternity. The Eagle is al- ■ ready one of the.best weeklies and with this accession to its edi torial corps a prosperous future awaits it. The Macon cotton mills were built in 1857 and cost $184,000. They use 6,ooothousand spindles, and 130 looms, and turn out 5,500 , yardsof domestics daily. The mills ■ are run by steam anil pay annu-1 ' ally a dividend of ten per cent. ; 1 on capital invested. RAMBLER AND THE SOUL. He tells our readers that the quotation which he found in the book about which he writes, has not the “ remotest reference” to the origin of our race. But he fails to tell us what he thinks it refers to. Why did he not do so ? It may have been because that book replies to the construction he has been in the habit of giv ing this scripture, rather heavily for him. Our friend says the Apocalypse “intended to tell only of things future.” Does not the fifth verse (of Rev. 12:) refer to the birth of Christ ? And was not that before the revelation to St. John was made ? All commentators, so far as I know, so admit, and wheth er they construe the great red dragon, the serpent, the devil and Satan, mentioned in that chap ter, as referring to the Pope and Church of Rome, or to Luther ■ and the Protestant Church, as it has been construed heretofore. Rambler asks “what does he (the writer) doubt, except that the soul comes into being along with its tenement, and the doctrine of election ?” To which I beg leave to add a third matter of doubt, and that is, whether both Catho lics and Protestants have not erred in so construing that chap ter against each other, and wheth er prejudice has not aided each, very much, in forming such op posing* and strange conclusions. I now proceed to give some of the authorities on which my faith on this vital question is based. To the careful reader it will be found that Gen. 2; 7. brings the inquiry now before us prominent ly in view, “ And the Lord form ed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life : and man became a living soul.” Was that “liv ing soul” something that exis ted before ? Was it created then ? What was it ? But, as I cannot begin there and trace this subject through the whole Bible, (and which is re ferred to all through it,) in a brief newspaper article, I will go back with my friend to Rev. 12. The 7,8, 9, and 11 verses of that chapter are in point. The tenth refers to another matter al together. They read as follows : 7. And there was war in hea ven : Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels. 8. And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil, and Satan, which de ceived the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 11. And they overcame him b\ the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” Now I understand that by the terms “Michael” and “the Lamb” Christ is intended, and that the “dragon,” “serpent,’* “devil” and Satan all refer to him whose works Christ “came to destroy.” And that where it is said, “And they overcame him by the blood of tho Lamb,” the meaning is that they, who were cast out with Satan overcame him, (Sa tan), by the blood of the Lamb, or of Christ, etc. Observe, Satan “was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him”--and they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb.” Who but our race did Christ come to save ? Who or what other family of spirits have, or can overcome Satan, “by the blood of the Lamb ?” If the w above is ; not the plain, literal and true ' meaning of this Scripture, then i what does it mean ? I Remember what St. Peter says ahout “wresting” the Scripture to the damnation of the soul. We are taught by his gospel to believe that Christ came to save us and by theologians that the rebellious spirits who were i cast out with Satan are forever cut off from the favor of that mer ciful God who made them, and • that they have no chance for par-; don, no matter how penitent and j humble they become. The Bible, 1i however, gives no evidence of i that, or any other heresy, which ; is so perfectly inconsistent with | the attributes of Him whose Book i that. is. We are informed by St Paul I that the grace by which we may ' be saved “ was given us in ! Christ Jesus before the world I began.” 2 Tim. 1: 9. It' not in being then, how could ! ! such grace be given us ? and if . we had not fallen, what need had ; we of that grace ? ■mmtwbii miii ii ii i ■MMMTwnrwrif iimwmwhm— “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might de stroy the works of the devil.”— John 3: 8. If Satan deceived and misled his angels—-those who were cast out with him — how can his works be destroyed, without, at least, offering them pardon on repentance ? Qqr Sa vior said. “ The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost” —Luke 19: 10. If we have been brought into being since Christ was crucified, what promise have we of salva tion by him ? For we were not then lost. And again he said to certain Jews, “You are from beneath, I am from above :• you are of this world, I am not of this world.” — John 8: 23. If Christ was from above, had he not been above, before he was here ? If we are from beneath, were we not somewhere, before we came into this life ? If we are of those who “ were cast out into the earth,” is it not easy to understand why he said, “you are of this world”? "But this article is already too long, and Rambler should have a chaqce to answer the above before other authorities are ci ted. His theory must have a notice also, ere we progress a great deal in the argument FLOWERY BRANCH. ITS RAPID GROWTH—-ITS INDUCE MENTS —IT TAKES THE LEAD — WAKE UP AIR LINE TOWNS —COTTON —THE AIR LINE AND NEW YORK. Editors Advance : Permit me to have space, through your in valuable columns, to tell you something about Flowery Branch. Theie is now in progress new buildings, stores and resi dences, and two church houses, two blacksmith shops, a machine shop, and one carriage and wagon shop. The first new bflle of cotton was brought in by John Hosch, of Jackson county, on the 6th in stant. It was bought by Messrs. Cagle & Chamblee at 19| per pound. It will be shipped over the great Air-Line to New York. It is the first bale of new cotton bought at any station on the Air- Line this season, and the first bale ever shipped through to New York via the Air-Line. In addition to the growing pros pects of the town there is here one of the finest mineral springs in Northeast Georgia. When its medicinal properties fail to heal the sick, recourse can be had to Dr. Gus Mitchell, who never fails to cure, and who is always wide awake and duly sober. May he live long -to soothe the afflicted. Besides this there seems to be a set of Jive, energetic, working merchants here. Tboy a J’ e al ways ready to pay the highest prices and sell goods fpr short profits. Noplace offers greater induce ments than Flowery Branch to any person wishing a situation as a merchant, mechanic or artisan. All such should visit Flowery Branch before settling elsewhere. Town lots are cheap, and rich farms can be bought here at nom inal prices. Very respectfully, A. Obediah. THE MACON & CINCINNATI R. R. AGAIN. We would call the special at tention of our Covington and Lawrenceville friends to the pro ceedings of the meeting given below,and which we take from the Gainesville Eagle. It is said that “ competition is the life of bu siness.” Wake up friends and get to work: Hosch’s Store, Ga.,l Aug. 21st, 1873. f Mr. Editor : At a meeting of the Committee appointed to so licit subscriptions for building that portion of the Knoxville Railroad, between Monroe and Gainsville, Ga., present Rev. Wm. Rutherford, Dr. G. J. Adams, and R. 8. Adanjs, it was resolv ed to call a public meeting of j the citizens interested m said un j dertaking, at Hosch'sStore, when ! the following additional members ; were appointed to said Commit tee: Captain John Venable, John | Hosch, and R. J. Parks. The meeting was addressed by Captain T. C. Williams, and Col. Root. White, who briefly stated its objects, aud urged the neces sity of prompt action in the mat ter of subscribing liberally to said enterprise, and the benefits resulting therefrom. Notwith standing the meagre information as to the stock to build said sec tion, and the absence of other facts which would have greatly forwarded the work, considerable interest was manifested, and sub scribed stock to the amount of sev eral thousand dollars was readily obtained. It was resolved to hold a meet ing at Mr. Pierce’s, near the Hall county line, for the purpose of get ting up further subscription to said enterprise, on Saturday, the 30th inst It is hoped and expec ted that a large delegation from I Gainesville, w*ill meet our citizens at said time and place, in the in- \ terest of the above undertaking, i Our friends, Cols. J. E. Redwine. I and A. D. Candler, are respectful-! ly invited to attend, and address tlie meeting. Allen L. Barge, Sec'y.
