Mi*. Bacon favored the passage of tin* bi’.l
and said that usury laws have been founded ‘ r ‘
upon the erroneous idea that gOWBMSeat .
can regulate commerce and trade. The law,,
us it stands is a dead letter, for its violation ! * 1 '
is of daily occurrence. Now, if it were re-1.,
pealed it would tend to make money cheaper j J r
by bringing persons other than sharpen* and '
usurers in competition :;s lenders.
Mr. Cumming favored the bill, and could
sec no reason why 7 per cent, should have
been fixed upon. Why not say 3 or 10—or
why not say that money is worth what it
will bring? But as this law of 7 percent.
Inis been of such long standing, he was will
ing to make a compromise and allow the
rate to be fixed at 10 per cent, but he was
really opposed to any restriction, lielieving
that the idea of usury laws was founded in
superstition.

SAVANNAH—IT* TUBLIC SCHOOL.
This city docs not exhibit as many evi
dences of improvement and progress aa 1 ex
pected. But its continuous growth ia vary
perceptible. Many **oW things** i
away, and the people are gradually
itg accustomed to tbe ’new order.*
iha.‘>ato tiriuga passed away/
th sunken rerr-< fa the prejudice against
the ‘’public school’’ system of education.
Indeed. Savannah has outstripped many of
Iter Southern sisters an tkis particular. The
public scbodM eMCMbdl by the
city have entirely supplanted the
private schools, and I learn that there b not a
single female, and bat one male academy, now
here. The attendance of white children ia
the public school numbers about txtmntg-femr
hu ndred. employing forty odd teachers. Those
schools are patronized by all dosses, and by
rich and poor alike.
I enjoyed the pleasure of a few moment’s
stay in the school rooms. The Superintend
ent, Mr. W. S. Baker, and two of bis princi
pals, Mr. Bogart and Mr. Zettler, were very
kind and entertaining. A dozen of the
high school girls gave a short but exceed
ingly interesting exhibition of physical exere
cisc upon the plau known, I believe, as the
“Dio Lewis,*’ improved, no doubt, by the es
timable wife of tlie former Superintendent,
Mr. B. Mallon.
Rings and dumb bells were employed to
impart assistance and force to tbe movements
of tbe body, and all the muscles are brought
into vigorous activity. No plan could be
conceived more admirably adapted to tha
production of easy and graceful action, and
the two fold result of such exercise is the de
velopment and strengthening of the physical
powers, and gracefulness of motion. Musi
cal accompaniment, while contributing in
manifest ways to the general result, invests
tbe exercise with additional fascination and
pleasure. In contemplating the physical
health,beauty and grace developed by this plan
the boys of this generation may well be en
vied, whose coming sweethearts will be the
girls graduated under this new system of fe
male education. The system will be univer
sally adopted, for its necessity is apparent
nnd unquestionable. At the age of thirteen
or fourteen the romping days of a girl are
ol>ont past, when Hie formative period of
J.i-r J f«* U .»t hand, requiring tin* most gener-
**n* t \< rC’.*-* ♦*» produce* a healthy and robust
\v<-‘*iu;ff..* - J. ut:!- at the age mentioned
gem Tail} less riel active exercise to walking;
which 1m** «miics a constant habit and is good
so far as it goes, but i9 entirely insufficient to
decrease the annual crop of frail and feeble
women unfit to undergo tbe slightest toil,
much less to meet the trials and requirements
of a married life.
I found general testimony to the fact that
Atlanta had secured in Mr. Mallon the very
man needed for the inauguration of oar pub
lic schools. He was the great “head and
front’’ of the public schools in Savannah.
THE GROUNDS
arc about equal In area to those of Oglethorpe
Park, and arc perfectly level. At the main
eutrance is the Secretary’s office, a small
building of two stories, the lower fhtor bring
*levoted to the use of the Secretary and the
upper to the Board of Direct*»ra After en
tering the grounds there is a building upon
the left called the “ machinery depot,” 290x50
feet. In this th** usual machinery to be
found at a fair is collected. To the right of
this structure is the main “ exhibition lroild-
ing,” two atnrtes in lu-ight. Two large halA
nre thus provided 200x60 feet, the lower be
ing occupied principally by tin* immediate
productions of tbe soil and the hemviiT fab
rics. You have not space for a description of
articles, which are mainly such as wen at the
Atlanta Fair. But I must say that the exhi
bition is a large and splendid one, every avail
able space being occupied. It would be diffi
cult to excel tbe Fine Art Department. Tbe
display of tropical fruits is fine, and the vis
ion is delighted by clnstera of luscious or
anges hanging from heavily laden Rnigbs
There is an abutitlaiic.e of beautiful ribbon
colored and golden sugar **-in**. nnd some of
the finest specimens I ever saw. But let us
pass to the
AMPUITIIKATRB
or grand aland, which is of two stories, th-
lower used as a dining hail and the upper
arranged for the .spectators. This command-
a view of the entire race track, but ia scare* -
1y of sufficient capacity, as il will not seat
more than two thousand persons. The rao -
track is a mile in length. No very superi* i
noted horses arc here. The most In
teresting exhibition I witues*ed upon ti"*
track was
