Ihe laiToll Loiiii (y 1 lines. CARROLLTON, GA. Jax-26, 1872. j EDWIN R. SHARPE, Editor. The Legislature adjourned on the 20th inst. to meet again the third Wednesday iu July. In a letter recently received by the editor of this paper from a friend i at Birmingham it is stated that that i place is rapidly improving. i«». The-Hon. 11. W. Riley, Rep resentative from Lumpkin county while on his way a few days since to Atlanta, was thrown from his buggy, and it is feared was seriously injured. —«»»— Under the new apportion- j ment, Georgia will be entitled to nine, 1 instead ol seven Representatives in Congress. As the increase is caused by the negro vote, the gam will be in the ‘‘Black belt.” —- ». The lion. Hiram Warner, As sociate Justice of the Supreme Court, has been appointed by Govenor Smith, and confirmed by the Senate, as Chief Justice, in place of Lochrane, lately resigned. This is a deserved tribute to the integrity and ability of this no ble old lawyer who has ever held aloof from the contaminating influence of corruption, and preserved thejudi cial ermine in spotless purity, Long may he live to enjoy this merited honor. A Bio Want. —The Carrollton Times just wants one. than sand sub scribers iu Carroll county ! Hope it will get them, but it won’t, —Heard County Hews. The way they are coming in at pres ent it will only take a month or two, to get up the required number. Pretty Good Pig,—The Carroll ton Times brags about a pig killed in that town, 10 months old, which weighed 270 pounds. You have big ger hogs than that, havn’t you, Ed.? —Heard Couoty Heirs. FriendTlarron of the Hews is noth ing, if nos. witty but we were rather surprised' to sec him come at us in the above hoggish way. i he last copy of the Heard coun ty Hews comes to us rather faint and dim. AA e hope that Brother Barron is not going to let his light go entirely out. He is entirely too funny to be spared from the profession. Judge W. F. Wright, We learn that Governor Smith has appointed this gentleman Judge of the Tallapoosa Circuit. We congratulate the people of this circuit, upon their good fortune, in securing so excellent, kind and courteous a Judge, to preside over their courts. Judge Wright pre sided in this circuit during the past year, and Ids uniform kindness towards the members of the Bar, officers of the court, witnesses and litigants, has elicited for him, the highest compli. ments from almost the entire circuit. His decisions have, so far as we are in formed, given general satisfacion. and wehelieve every one carried before the Supreme Court has been affirmed. Some of the older members of the Bar, who have witnessed, with what deco rum, dignity and dispatch, Judge Wright has held the Courts ofthis cir cuit, the past year, say that they are forcibly reminded of the days of the “illustrious Ilill.” We hope Judge AV right will continue his good name as Judge of this circuit. A Go:d Appointment. AA e are glad to sec in the Atlanta papers that, Professor Gustavus J. Orr, has been appointed by Governor Smith, State School Commissioner, in place ol Lewis, lately resigned. This is a good appointment, and one that we are satisfied will give satisfaction to the entire people of the State. Pro lessor Orr has bean identified with the cause of education in the State for many years; in fact his life has been devoted to the noble cause of education, with the most ardent enthusiasm. He has been con nected with some of the best ed ucational institutions in the State. For a long time, lie was Professor ofMath cmatics in Emory College, then Presi dent of the Female Masonic Institute at Covington, but for the last eighteen months, Professor of mathematics in Oglethorpe University at Atlanta. In all of these position's he has uniformly given satisfaction, and drawn around him as a teacher and gentleman, hosts of admirers. His appointment, as State School Commissioner, was peculiarly appro priate, as he has been identified with the cause of popular education, since its inception in 1869, having been a member of the committie ot the Teach ers association that drew up the pres ent system. If any man in the State can make the present Public School system a success,, we believe that Pro fessor Orr is the man, AVc congrat ulate the people of Georgia upon his appointment. The Prince of AY ales is said to have made a vow to let strong drink akme. Printers Proverb*. I Pomotreadm the office of the'prin ter, for peradventure, lie may have read the article a dozen times; andihe and hisr workmen are not interested by the buzzing. It is not well to occupy the editor’s chair longer than one hour in the morning, when there are half a dozen wafting for their turn Os course the 1 (alitor has no use for it “I should like to take your paper but can't afford it; I will step In and read it occasionally,” is poor encour agement to the printer. Profitable employment of the time thou “loungest about his office would enable you to pay for a dozen papers. Stop the paper, if them dost not like it; and then stop whining about the manner in which it is conducted. It is not printed fftr thy special amusement and edification alone. Never enquire thou of the printer for news, for heboid it is his duty at the appointed time to give unto thee without asking. It is not fit thou shouldst ask him who is the author of any article; for his duty requires him to keep such to himself. Look not at the copy which is in the hands of the compositor; for that is not meet in the sight ot the piinter. SST 1 To our brethren of the press, throughout the State, who wel comed in such complimentary notices the dehut of the Times in the ranks of Georgia journalism, we return our most sincere thanks. Their kind words and good wishes are duly appre ciated, and cheers us to renewed ef forts to make our paper worthy of all that has been said of it.

The citizens of Heard county met to-day for the purpose of forming a construction Company on the North A South Railroad from Franklin to La Grange, and to get up the money sub scribed for the survey. Dr. J. M Lane was called to the chair, and Dr. O. C. Britton was requested to act as secretary. On motion, the Committee appoint ed to procure subscription for the sur vey of the Road through Heard coun ty, were requested to collect the amounts subscribed, and pay it over to the Treasurer, AV. I. Alozley, who will forward the money to F. A. Frost, Banker, LaGrange. On motion, a Committee—composed of It. P. V ood and M. Shackleford— was appointed to form a Construc tion Company. Requested that those who have sub. scribed to the survey, and the citizens generally, meet in the Court house on the first Tuesday in February, prox. On motion, requested that these pro ceedings be published in the Heard County News. Adjourned, J. M. LANE, Chairman. O. C. Britton, Secretary. The following are extracts from the forthcoming January Report ot tha Agricutural Department: The Department is now receiving, pricipally for distribution to the South in liberal portions for experimental purposes, improved varieties of field and sugar corn, field and garden peas and beans, Italian rye, grass bromus, schraderi and lucerne mange, lamer aud sugar beet, cabbage and onion seeds. It will also receive during, this month fresh seeds of the Ramie andJute plants the latter of which cannot be grown successfully north of Tennessee. Oats and barley, of approved varieties, have been ordered from Scotland and Ger many, and will be distributed in ample time for spring sowing. A choice va riety of white spring wheat, grown in Oregon, from seed imported from Aus tralia, has just been distributed to the North-western States and Territories. As there is much inquiry in the South ern States for the seed of the Japan clover, it is deemed proper to republish from the annual report of 1869, the following opinion by the Superinten dent of the garden and grounds of the department: The Lespedega Striata Japan bush clover is a leguminous plant that has lately attracted some attention in the Southern States as a forage plant. It is poorly adapted to an} r such use, and not by any means worthy of recogni tion by the cultivator. It is a low hard wooded annual, spreading freely on sandy and poor soils, with a very small and ?canty foliage. Tor tho Carroll Conntr Tim***. EduQation and the Public School System. (CONTINUED.) We a ware that something should be done in the premises, but the question arises, what is it? How is it to be done? and bow is the mis chief to he remedied ? I answer that we should do all in our power in a pe elin' ary point of view,'so far as we are individually concerned, and in the next place we shou and endeavor to eheerish, foster and encourage a pub lic School System , one suited and adapted to the wants, necessities and requirements of our county and the state at large. But you say you have no con fidence in public schools, you tell me that the public school system proposed and adopted by the legislature of 1870 was a failure, how do you know this ? AVas it tried ? I answer positively that it was not? No fair test was given it. Like all great enterprises it required time and experience to finish and per •( feet it. It was anew thing with us though a system of like character has been successfully established, and sus tained in many of the northern and eastern states. Now what is the his tory of public schools in those States? Think you they sprang up like ! “ Jonah’s gourd, and attained to their full shape in one night, or in one 1 month or in a year % History informs I us that the growth was slow, that the proposition to establish a system of public instruction was in great dis favor with the masses. People were arrayed against it on every hand lie cause of the supposed onerous burden of taxation which its introduction would impose upon the people Form idable opposition confronted it from every quarter. Legislators denounc ed it from their seats in the General Assembly, men who were battling for what they considered right and prop per denounced it from principle, while others did so in order to pander to the prejudices, and to court the favors of the ignorant. The public press how ever (that most powerful engine of reform, and the most formidable foe to ignorance,) spoke in behalf of the measure, and the people were at length induced to try the experiment. The result was that the first attempt a mounted almost to a failure, and ser ved rather to increase, than to allay the opposition to the measure. All the money set apart and appropriated by the Legislatures was- used in organ izing and perfecting a system or base of operation. It was anew thing, and the managers, and the people, and all concerned, were inexperienced, and the consequence was that the plan was slow of development. In fact it was several years before a satisfactory sys tern was arranged and organized; one which would satisfy the demands of the people—quiet their clamor, and allay their opposition. AVhen by slow degrees it had prov ed itself a blessing to the common country, when every one came to re gard it in the light of of a blessing and a reform they became wedded to it, and it became a pet institution, and altogether indispensable. If to day in any of those States where the system has had a fair tiial, a candidate for popular suffrage was to announce the fact that he was op posed to public schools , he would be unable to command a respectable vote and why? Because by its salutary effect and by the good results, and good fruits emerging from it, it lias forced itseif into favor with the peo ple, notwithstanding their stubborn opposition to it It is a sytem with them, regular as clock-work, and under its benign in fluence, the state of society is better, the moral tone is healthier, and gener al intelligence is disseminated. AA"hy I would not be afraid to venture the assertion that in the State of Vermont, the number who are unable to read and write is not very far in excess of the number in Carroll county, I know it is unpleasant to refer to the num ber so often, but I wish to call your attention to it, just think of it! 3075 persons who cannot read, and 3900 who cannot write. But lam digressing somewhat. I said that the school system nere had not had a fair test and now to the facts : The Legislature in 1870 passed an act “to establish a system of public instruction.” This act provides that the county board shall be vigilant, and zealous in in promoting and establish ing the school system. They are re quired to see that persons applying as Teachers, are well qualified for the discharge of all the duties devolving on them. They must be examined in public , in order that that the public may witness their examination and may be posted as to their qualifications, fitness or unfitness for the position. The act requires that they produce satisfactory evidence of their good moral character, and whenever a Teacher is found wanting in any of these requisites, if he is guilty of neg lect, or is immoral, or cruel, or for any other cause is unfit for the trust it is the duty of the county comisstoner to revoke his license as teacher. This method places it entirely upon a sure footing. Men who are citizens of the county and selected by the people, are clothed with full power to superintend regulate, and guide the public schools in a manner which will most conduce to the generalinterest of all Ilf course inlonq jeteut tnen mety be elect ed, put this is nd objection tonic senbor «»?-] tern, if it was it would apply with equal force to any other organization. | If tbjs objection is sufficient to defeat a public school system, the same ar- J guinent would suggest itselt with I equal plausibility for abolishing*!!! * legislative p>ower, the elective Iran- j cliise, and even the sacred orgamza- i tion of the church. If therefore there is a failure « >r de fect in the administration of the law, j the remedy is plaiu and simple, elect . new servants. * I I will notice another provision in the act, which indicates great wisdom and sagacity on the part of its framer*. j J. Sec. 3-2. provides that “ the cbil-j drensof the white and eolored races shall uot be taught together in any sub-dstrict of the State.” This provision puts an end to the : objection which was urged against such a system, “ that our children would be compelled to attend school with negro children The section al luded to above precludes the , possibili ty of the happening of any such hu nfiliMing spectacle, AA T hile it is true that schools may be organized for the benefit of the colored children, where there is a sufficient number to author ize it, yet they must he entirely sepa rate and disconnected from our own. Another good feature in the act al luded to, and which is calculated to make the system permanent is that property purchased for, or donated or given for the purposse, cannot be lev ied upon and sold by virtue of any execution, not even taxes. Under this law if a suitable site is once selected and the necessary buildings erected, it is all exempt from levy and sale, against anything, provided the land or site so exempt shall not exceed four acres. This is for each district (when once established) a permanent site for the particular purpose for all time to come. Whereas under our : common system there there Is great ■ difficulty in getting a suitable house, and the divisions and contention that arises generally, defeats the school. i A. wants it on his side of the creek, 1 B. wants it on the other, C., wants to be “ chief cook,” and so does l>> the result often is simply to defeat the * school altogether, when if it was arrang ! ed on a systematic plan, all would ac ! quiesce and harmony would prevail Another feature in the act that at once commends itself to the intelli gent reader is that “ the State Board Commissioner shall not be permitted to introduce intoithe schools any text or miscellaneous books of a sectarian oi sectional character.” It is provi ded that for the support of these schools, poll tax, the special tax on shows and exhibitions, the tax on spir -ituous and malt the proceeds ! arising from the Commutation of mill ! tary services, all endowments, devises, ! gifts and bequests made or hereafter to be made to the State, or State Board of Education, and one half of j the net earnings of the AVestern & Atlantic Railroad, are appropriated for that purpose, and that if this amount is not sufficient to support a j public school for at least three months in the year (which is free to all be j tween the ages of six and twenty-one) ! then the deficiency is to be made up by assessment on the taxable proper ty of the State. AVas there anything ! wrong in this? Could there be anv thing more equitable? Surely not! The Constitution of the State makes the tax collected on polls an exclusive fund for this purpose. The tax on shows, exhibitions and liquor, can be easily avoided by withholding patron ! age from them, they are useless, aye! worse than useless ditches, prepared I to drain the private treasury of the people. But if the people will patron ize them, and spend their money with them, with which they might educate | their children, is it not right that part of the money should come back to the people, in the shape ot a tax from such* institutions ? I think it is right in principle, and I think you will respond a hearty amen! The State Road is the property of the peo ple ! One half the net profits arising therefrom is to be used as a school fund. This of itself would amount to a yearly bonus of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Now the principal question to be considered is this. Should the taxa ble property of the State be subject to a special tax to make up the defi ciency in the amount required ? I will answer this question accord ing to my own views, in my next com munication. Meanwhile let the peo ple study the question for themselves, and give it that degree of careful in ' vestigation and thought of which the importance of the subject matter en titles it. In that or an article follow ing it, I propose to show as I intend ed to do in this one, that the school act of 1870 was not a failure, but that i it is a partial failure note and the rea son why it is. As b>rig articles are seldom read un less they emenate from able authors, and as I am well aware that I have no claims to authorship, I will not tax the readers of the Times with any thing further at present, but will af flict them with a short attack in the next number.

THE ATLANTA CUXSTITITION FOR 1872. This year promises to be second to none in local and national importance. The great Presidential contest be tweeu the Democratic and Republican parties, or between Constitutionalism and the rights of the States Upon the one side, and Centralism and Impe rialism upon the other, will agitate the country to its remotest corners. In State affairs the times will be no less eventful. Just emerging from a terrible crisis, the people of Georgia will soon see the final developments of the Radical drama enacted in the State since the close of the war. Be sides, there will-be the regular election for Governor. • The Constitution has a corps of cor respondents, domestic and foreign, un surpassed by any journal in the South. It is published at the capital, and fur nishes full reports of Legislative Pro ceedings and the Supreme Court, to gether with Telegraphic and Commer cial News from all parts of the world. Being at the political centre of Georgia, it has superior advantages to obtain the latest political and general intelligence. The Constitution is now the Official Organ of the State of Georgia and the Democratic party. Having been unanimously elected at the last ses sion of the General Assemby. It is also the official paper of this city and county. To the people of Southwest Geor gia we desire to call attention to the fact, that the Atlanta Constitution now reaches them with the Macon papers of the same date Every one who would keep up with the times, and have an intelli gent, well-informed house hold, should by all means take his local paper and one from the capital. The Constitution now visits every section and State, and as an advertis ing medium is equal to the best. Proprietors: \V. A Hemphill, K. Y. Clarke. Editorial Corps: I. W Avery, Chief Editor, E.
