Co-education Again.
The Glenn bill substitute, strikes
us as a pandering to northern senti
ment. Does not this substitute
grant a quasi permission of a eo-ed
eation of the races? If this co-edu
cation be by statute permitted, and
to any extent indulged, will not its
tendency and inevitable result be
race amalgamation ? This very idea
of amalgamation is what makes the
people of Georgia almost unanimous
in support of the original bill. Is
not the substitute a direct slap in
the face of public sentiment, that
should meet an indignant resent
ment from the people? Are the
peoplo of Georgia, by pandering to
northern sentiment, ready to give
an apparent assent to race amalga
mation through our educational sys
tem ? .Never, no never, this side the
final resurrection morn. Wo have
given negroes their political rights
and proper educational facilities and
are willing that with these, they
make of themselves all they can,
but when it is demanded that we
and they must drink out of the
same educational bowl with the
same spoon, we are ready to cry
halt. On this subject, the Savan
nah Morning News says:
Legislation like that proposed in
the Glenn bill, or its substitute, is
absolutely necessary for the preser
vation of the public school system,
and no one will deny that that sys
tem is essential to the improvement
of the black, as well as of the white
people. There are people who favor
mixed schools, and they seek every
opportunity to establish them. The
establishment of such schools means
the dertruetion of our public school
system. Shall a few fanatics be
permitted to destroy that system?
Is it not better to preserve the sys
tem that the children of b/oth races
may be educated than, that a few
ill-balanced peoples shall have the
satisfaction q€ carrying out their
ideas? IT the legislature is wise it
w : .Yi do what its common sense tells
it is the proper thing to do to pre
vent mixed schools. It will not
permit itself to be halted by the
long-haired cranks of Boston.

HI S TING I’OU IT.
We tlean the Box of Gold.
About ten days ago a self-styled
colored miner, bearing the name of
Cornelius Thomson haling from
“somewhere” accosted one of our j
prominent citizens and asked the
privilege of digging upon his premises
in search of a box of gold which he
(the miner) conceived to be hidden
there. The preliminaries arranged
and the terms agreed upon, the miner
set to work with as much energy and
zeal as if his eyes were already feast
ing upon the coveted prize.
His faith leads him to follow in the
wake of a plummet that, he claims,
never fails to point the presence of
hidden gold. After working for two
or three days he was, upon suspicion
lodged in prison. But the suspicion
proving to be unfounded, he was lib
erated. And in less than one hour
after his liberation he was again
earnestly at work after the hidden
treasure. Tons of rock, much of
which is well suited to building pur
poses, have been removed. An in
spection on Thursday presented one
of those peculiar geological forma
tions wherein the imbedded rock pre
sents the appearance of having been
placed there by the hand of art. This,
of itself tends To some extent to en
gender faith in those who are given
to supertit ion.
Nevertheless the faith ofthisCorne
lius in obtaining a golden crown to
bis efforts certainly far surpasses
ours, or lie would cease at once to pros
ecute so herculean a task. However,
his labors are developing what, thus
far, appears to be a splendid rock
quarry just upon the borders of our
city, and if upon his individual faith
in ultimate success Cornelious can
afford to work for nothing and board
himself we presume the balance of
the world can afford to allow him to
do so. This searcher after the box of
hidden gold claims to have been kid
napped in his boyhood by the Mur
rell clan, and hence backs this faith
and efforts by his knowledge of the
ways and doings of John A. Murrell.
Thus it is being constantly demon
strated that there are “cranks” in all
classes and upon all subjects.

Is it True
That the state fair to be opened in
Macon on the 24tli of next month will
be the grandest state fair ever held
in Georgia? That is Ail at aft iiie 'in
dexes pointiivg Yo it now declare. Is
it true Vliat there will be upon the
fair grounds the largest and grandest
'exhibition of Georgia’s agricultural
and other resources ever beheld at a
stat fair? That is just what the rap
idly increasing list of entries-and ex
hibitors now says. Is it true that,
aside from the great sources of satis
tical and general information to be
found there, the pleasure features of
the fair will surpass anything ever
hitherto connected with a state fair?
That is what all the indications con
nected therewith now promise.
Is it true that all the people of Mon
roe are working with a vim and in
concert to make their county exhibit
excel and bear off the SIOOO premimum
at the state fair? If not, then why
not? If not true, is it because they
do not want their county to be ex
tensively advertised? Ts it because
they do not want the world to see the
evidences of their resources? Is it
because they do not wish to be known
as a proud, progressive people, pos
sessed of intelligence, spirit, vim and
energy? If it is true that they are
all at work with a view to make Mon
roe’s exhibit at the fair excel, then
we hope that each and every one will
continue to work and faint not, until
the last telling lick in this direction
shall have been struck- Everybody
can do something to promote this
object. Almost every family can add
something to enhance the exhibit.
Then let no one Hold back and wait
for another, but rather let each one
do what they can, acting upon the
idea that every single addition will
count.
Monroe’s people have an extended
reputation. Let them maintain and
widen it upon this occosion. Fellow
citizens; you can do it if you will.
Will you ?

A Novel Bet.
While I am not a betting man,
said F. J. Cheney, of the firm of
F. J. Cheney & Cos., I considered it
my religious duty to make that fel
low a bet, you see he was about dead,
and I guess he would of died before
spring, if I had not of got him on
the bet. You know some men had
rather loose their life than lose a
hundred, well he was one of that
kind, and we both came near being
out, but I saved my hundred and it
only' cost him ten dollars. How’s
that? He sent for me one day* and
said the doctors had all given him
up to die, with the catarrh. I told
him that I would bet him §IOO that
Hall’s Catarrh Cure would cure him
or I would give him §IOO if it failed
He took the iatler proposition. This
was three months ago; you see how
he looks now, don’t y*ou, as well as
any* one, and a dandy. American,
