FORSYTH, MONROE COUNTY, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER ‘JO, 1888.
MORE MONEY FOR EDUCATION.
Writing on the subject of public
schools for Georgia, Dr. Hay good
says:
“At such a time as this, when the
shrewd and thoroughly informed
men who control commerce know
everything that can be known it is
idle to wonder why his victims (in
a state with half a million of illiter¬
ates over 10 years old, whose public
school fund for country children—
the big majority of the whole nutn
ber—is less than 59 cents for each
child) don’t prosper. 1 care for
them enough to tell litem tlie unvar¬
nished truth—they don’t know
enough to do business successfully
w»th a wide-awake age. And the
majority of their children the}’ are
bringing up in Llie same way ; “rais¬
ing" victims The tor llie “trust pirates”
of 1900. day comes when those
same children will curse the stupid
avarice that voted “less than fifty
nine cents” for each child from the
stale’s purse and bound them in
peonage to what is called “trade.”
There is no trouble with our Geor¬
gia school system. It is good; it is
patterned after the best in America.
'The one trouble is: the avarice of
tiie people of Georgia,the overwhelm¬
ing majority of them being country
people, hard working, and, for the
most part, hard run country people.
The legislature soon to meet will
do everything these same country
people say. 1 suggest for discussion
at the next meeting, of the Farm¬
ers’ Alliance, in every community
where it meets, this subject: “The
chances of 462,738 children of farm¬
ers in a state whose school fund is
less than 59 cents for each child.”
Some tell me the public schools
are poor and miserable. To be sure
they are. To expect them to be
good is as rational as demanding of
a starving cow—her hair turning
the wrong way—under a driviing
Aire L ,. |s j wind ,‘ and 'rain in March _ to
out )f h(?1 . c0n ,j 0 usness four
gu!Ions . . butter-making . . milk ...
or every
twenty-four hours.
it is the simplest thing in the
world: A poor teacher makes a poor
school ; poor pay secures a poor
teacher and will to the end of time.
Feme men would rather own a scrub
cow than a Jersey of “Tenelia’s”
line; but even such men despising
thoroughbreds because they are
“con sera lives," know they ean’t get
a Jersey for the price of a scrub.
Bui demand a good teacher for the
pay of a hod carrier. “Cheap doctors,”
“cheap teachers,” “cheap preachers.”
These words toll of poor economy.
It is the old way of saving at the
bung.
Fair pay will secure good teach¬
ers. The public school teachers in
j Texas and Florida are incomparably
better than in Georgia.
Why? Not because their colleges
and training schools, for either race.
are hotter, or so good, but because
public school teachers get better pay.
Better pay draws them—draws them
from Georgia. Emory graduates are
reaching public schools all through
Texas and Florida.
We need not wait for the Blair ^
bill. 1 have advocated “national
aid” to the best of my ability, be
cause L thought it a right thing to
do. But it seems further off than
j heretofore. Our people, for the past
I say “no.” Very well, then, we must
help ourselves; the sooner the better
i —the sooner the cheaper.
A tax of one mill on the property
in Georgia returned for
saying nothing of that which is not
returned—would double the state
.-chord fund. It such a tax is pro
posed the small -watch dogs ’ of the
treasury, with an eye to re-election
will cry out against “oppressive
taxation! Some day such men will
1 not be returned.
f “Empire state of of the south!
J what an estimate you put on your
i brains with your -less than 59 cents '
1 of stale school funds for each child!
“Little Florida” boats us to death.
Major Bussell s report for 1888 has
just reached me. Let pron u_ Geor
* gi:ir.<, “southrons, all of u meui
I ‘Hte on these figures: Total enroll
j meat of children of school age in
Florida, 82,453; amounts of funds*
expended for school puryoses, 0449,
296.15. This would he 85.44 per
year for each child. Part of this
money is taised by the counties.
Add to the state fund in Georgia all
that the cities raise for their own
schools and' we won't show 02.09 for
each child. And the “country” in
Georgia get only the state’s less than
“59 cents.” Only ’a few cities levy
a special tax tosppiement the state’s
little stipend. Let us keep in mind
always that of the 569,111 children of
school age in Georgia 492,270 do not
live in towns under local school laws
—that 465,738 don’t live in town at
all. They are the majority of our
children. Georgia can’t afford to
starve her schoo.ls any further; they
will die. If Georgia does not step up
she must step down and out. Our
people are going away—to Texas
and Florida, largely for better
schools. It is not the useless man
who moves to iVxr : n order to ed
ucate his children , vis a man we
can’t spare.
We er/ for ‘immigrants” and
send our people away—“fimmi
grants.”
And so they go—“uncles and
aunts, nephews and cousins” and
presently our children and grand¬
children—ten thousand of them and
again ten thousand have left Geor¬
gia—their hard-fisted, stinty ohl
mother, with her “less than 59 cents
for each child of school age.
But let me not do my state an in
justice and let Georgia put her best
foot foremost, The 0330 112.73
yielding less than 59 cents for each
child school age in Georgia repre¬
sents the amount disbursed from the
superintendent’s office in Atlanta.
Add to this the poll tax “retained in
the counties,” reckoned this year
8185,000, and always a variable
quanitj’, and we have 8515,113.73;
yielding a trifle less 94 cents for
each child of school age in Georgia.
Not counting the few cities and two
or three counties that have their own
school systems we have for the 492,-
270 children outside of these cites
and counties “under special school
law,” something less than 94 cents
for each child of school age. If
children at school get more it is be
cause others don’t go. This is our
best showing—a little less than 94
cents for each child of school age.
It is humiliation in this year of grace
1888; what does it indicate for the
year 1900.
Virtue mine Jury Box.
Judge Van Epps, in discharging
the jury this morning, complimented
the panel in warm language. Among
other things he said :
“The administration of criminal
depends largely*, upon the
virtue and intelligence of the people,
or of that segment of the people that
from time to time appear in the
jury box. No matter how honest
and capable trial judges may be, in
criminal cases, the question whether
tiie laws shall be upheld with a firm
hand, and criminals receive the just
punishment due to their crimes de
P cn ‘ ls more than anything else upon
the morals of the people who sit as
jurors in tiie jury box. If jurors are
intelligent and pure, with proper
views of the sanctity of the law and
of the vital importance to the well
being of the state, that it should be
enforced, there would be no danger
of a failure of justice in any case.
1 desire to express ray acknowl
edgments to this intelligent and
capable panel of jurors for the valua
ble character of their week’s work—
not for finding verdicts of not guilty
but as well—for enforcing the law, as
I believe it has been in this court du
ring the present week enforced dis
erect and honestly.

The Cigarette Curse.
A writer in the Wesleyan Chris¬
tian Advocate gives some timely
hints on the use of the cigarette
winch aU young boys who indulge
this detestable habit would do well
to heed, and, which in among other
things, lie says:
“If the inventor of an unmitigated
nuisance deserves to be cursed by
his own and succeeding generations,
then the manufacturer who first pro¬
duced the cigarette ought to lace
Mount Foal all the days of his life,
and leave his memory subject to the
same anathema. There is not one
redeeming feature about this abom¬
inable post, it is noxious to the
smoker, and when used in public is
a foul offense to the victims of his
incivility. A cigar composed of fra¬
grant tobacco may be tolerated even
by those who make no use of the
weed ; and a lighted pipe may be
submitted to, as persons who solace
themselves away from their homos
in that fashion, seldom intrude
among those likely to object to it.
But the cigarette, with its vile odors,
finds its way everywhere, and is of
tenest lighted where it is certain to
be most intolerable.
“With regard 1o their evil effect
on the health of the smoker, there
are not two opinions among those
who arc best qualified to judge. Our
most eminent physicians, and chem¬
ists speak with united voice when they
warn the public against the increas¬
ing danger of poison from the dead
!y nicotine, and the injurious conse¬
quences certain to follow this indul¬
gence. Even where the little roll is
made of tobacco that might be smok¬
ed in a pipe without any material
injury, it is most unhealthy used in
this form, when the contents are
consumed in a free draught so near
the lips. But in most cases the ar
tide offered to the public would be
dangerous to health when smoked
in any guise, along with the added
fumes of tiie burning paper.

Entirely Free From Taint.
Knlxyilt/e, Tens’., July 2 1888.
The Swift Specific Co., Alanta Ga.:
Gentlemen.—In 1884 I contracted
blood poison. It was in its most
loath softie form. Sores and ulcers
came upon me until my entire body
was absolutely covered. I put my¬
self under the treatment of the best
phi.-icians in the city, but no good
came of it. I could not sleep or rest
day or night so intense was my suf¬
ferings. At last I began taking S.
S. S The improvement was slow
at first, but after a while the disease
yielded, and in a short time the
sores commenced healing, the ulcers
.•eased running, and in a few months
my body was free from taint. I
continued the medicine and to-day
a.n free from taint- My body, how¬
ever is a living monument to the in¬
tensity of my sufferings and the cu¬
rative powers of Swift Specific.
The scars remain.

pimples and sores were appearing
all over me. Tiie S. S. .8,, however,

They Could Have Been Saved.
We can not but notice how many
of the citizens of this country, of
both sexes, are apparently being
taken away before their time. One
of Georgia’s most honored sons—her
gifted silver-toned orator, not long
since fell a victim to frightful malo
dy. Gen. Grant was another victim ;
and the dispatches from the world
across the Atlantic tell us that
Germany's now emperor will very
soon follow his honored father.
Many others, scores and hundreds,
unknown to greatness, but very
dear to those around them, are
perishing every year from the same
soourago. It is unnecessary to tell
you that this terrible, repulsive and
loathsome disease is—cancer. Can it
be cured? Medical skill has ap¬
parently exhausted itself, and the
surgeon’s knife has cut in vain to
root it out.
Seemingly, cancer is incurable.
Now what is to be done? If you
wait until the disease is upon you
it is too late. Then why not. antici¬
pate the mo«sfev an 1 -itm the prevent¬
ative. In order to avoid this and an
innumerable number of other blood
troubles, you must keep the blood
pure and healthful—and the one
great remedy for this is, that King
of all Purifiers—“Guinn’s Pioneer
Blood Renevver.” It extracts tiie
virus from the blood and keeps it in
a pure and excellent condition.
Don’t delay until it is too late. Call
at the druggists for an almanac, and
you will find that this celebrated
medicine has cured, right hero in
your own country, about every dis¬
ease emanating from a depraved
condition of the blood.
A few bottles taken in the spring
and fall will be all that you will need,
An old adage, but a very good one,
that “an ounce of preventive is better
than a pound of cure” is very appli¬
cable here.
Ask for “Guinn’s Pioneer Blood
Kenower.” the druggists all sell it.

success as I can Hall’s Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by you. Have pre¬

its effect is wonderful, and would say

cure, if they would take it according
to directions. Yours Trulv,
