As regards advertisements the
public cares not for their oratorical
elegance, nor for their geometry, how
Jong they may be, nor for their arith
metic, how many they may be, but
the grand requisite is truth, On this
foundation is built the reputation of
White’s Cream Vermifuge, and the
manufacturers assert only simple
truth in saying this remedy will ex
pel worms largely.
Tho Augusta Evening News says :
"It is predicted by good judges that
Atlanta will go dryer at the next
election in November than she did
two years ago. The whiskey men
are well organized, but the prohibi
tj 'n element is solid, and the cause
has gained many friends since the
last election. The best way out of
the difficulty is for Atlanta to adopt
high license.'’
The Philadelphia Times pays Geor
gia this tribute : ‘"Georgia is among
the foremost of the Southern states
in her advanced educational system,
and far surpasses Pennsylvania in
the special educational advantages
offered colored people. Pennsylvania
gives open college doors to colored
people in her laws, but the colored
ptudont knows better than to knock
ut any of them ; while Georgia has
her white and her colored universi
ties for the higher instruction of ra
res, and both are equally sustained
by state appropriations. In addition
there are normal schools for both ra
*es, and there are more colored
teachers employed in Georgia than
all the Nouthei n states from Maine

STATE TAXABLES.
The last of the tax digests of the
State for 1887 has been received at
the office of the Comptroller Gener
al.
Pulaski county had the honor of
coming in last, showing taxable prop
erty to the amount of §1,830,899, an
increase over last year of §56,665.
The total taxable property of the
State covered by the returns is 8316,
605,352 ns against $306,507,378 las
year. In this is not included rail
road property subject to taxation
which is returned at $24,796,104
Last year it was $22,981,927, show
ing a gain of §1,814,177. The grand
total is §341,401,456. Last year tbi
total was $329,486,505, a net gain of
§11,011,951.
The returns of the Americus, Pres
ton and Lumpkin railroad have not
been received yet. It is expected tin
grand total increase will be made a
round §12,000,000.
A COMMENDABLE MOVE.
Mr. Russell, of Clarke county, has
introduced a bill in the house to
create and establish an Industrial in
stitute for the education of the white
girls in this State in the arts and
sciences as a branch of the Stab
University. It was referred to the
Finance Committee. The bill pro
vided for an appropriation of SOS,
000 to establish the institute, andfoi
the education of girls iu the Indus
trial arts and occupations of tho age
One beneficiaiy for each representa
tive is allowed.
It is not at all likely that this bil
will become a law at this session, but
it is a move in the right direction.—
Like Hon. Nat Harris’ bill to estab
lish a school of technology for boys,
it will have to go through the per
fecting process of several defeats
aud then, perhaps, become a law af
ter several years. We are not sure
that this paiticular bill ought to pass
now—perhaps it is not mature
enough yet, nor will be at this ses
sion—-but we are glad that Russell
| has introduced it. It will put the
j people to thinking on that line and
j the result may be that in a few years
the state will be led to perfect some
such plan for the education of the
girls in such arts and sciences as
may redound to the good of the state
and the welfare of the milder sex.—
