DR. CANDLER AN1> EDUCA
TION.
His Sermon at tlie First Metho
dist Church in LaOrnnge.
liev. R. w, Bljjliam, In Col. Enquirer-sun, oth.
Columbus, tho polished city of the
Chattahoochee, liko LaGrango, in the
same Congressional district, tho city of
colleges, among Chattahoochee's hills, is
noted for its lovo of education. Socially
and in legislative halls, thair leaders of
thought have advanced and popularized
it.
In LaGrange, August 27, by request,
Dr. Candler preached a sermon on edu
cation to tlie combined congregations of
the city. A few weeks before, city
public schools had been defeated by a
small vote. It is thought that if this
sermon had boen preached before tlie
balloting, tlie city public schools would
have carried by a large majority.
Tlie sermon is of genoral public inter
est, chiefly because it answOTed tlie
questions how and why our common
school system should he bettered, show
ing that many more than now should
share its advantages and promptly
seek higher education. Common schools
multiplied, anti tlie salary system
adopted instead of tlie per diem, advan
ced teachers could ho secured, and tlie
colleges, hotli state and church, would
lie tilled witli energetic boys and girls
ambitious of education because of tlie
power it imparts for personal and public
good.
A thought of (lie sermon, as just as
brave, was that, as tlie whites paid ap
proximately all tlie taxes, and good
colored teachers could bo employed on
lower salaries, that school commission
ers should be empowered to discriminate
accordingly; and that, as a people, we can
so wisely improve and strengthen our
facilities to educate till the schools,
colleges and universities of America
shall rival those of Europe. Time, mon
ey and work are requisite, hut Ameri
cans can achieve anything great and
good they may will.
For the common welfare of city and
country the sermon, of which tlie above
summary is too brief to be full, should
be frequently repeated. The interest
all classes of people take in education is
full of civil and religious promise.
Sunday-School Association.
The Troup County Sunday-school As
sociation held its rogular semi-annual
session at tlie Presbyterian church on
Saturday last. Prof. W. J. McKemie, of
West Point, presided. Addresses were
made by President R. W. Smith, Prof.
McKemie, and Dr. T. S. Bradfield. An
effort was made to raise the amount
still due the State Sunday-school Asso
ciation, on a pledge made by this Asso
ciation to give one hundred dollars for
the objects contemplated by that body.
Only seven dollars of the sixty-seven un
paid were subscribed, whereupon Prof.
Alwyn Smith opened liis pocket-book
and handed over the remainder—sixty-
two dollars. This noble act was charac
teristic of this great-hearted and consci
entious Christian gentleman, who could
not endure a Beeming failure on the
part of the Association to comply with its
promise.
Tlie old officers were re
elected and the body adjourned until
the next meeting in course, time and
place of which will be duly announced.
The attendance was very small and
interest seems to have nearly died out.
The question of dissolving the organiza
tion was discussed, but was finally de
cided in the negative. We hope that
the next session will see a renewal of
tile zeal that was once manifested in its
work.
Pensions.
I will collect U. S. Pensions for Indian
War soldiers or their widows. Valuable
historical and documentary information
on hand. No charge made, unless suc
cessful. Address, with stamps,
