The Advertiser extends congratula¬

life may be long, joyous and happy.
Push the School Interest.
The history of advancing civilization is
proof of the fact that the social eleva¬
tions, customs, progress and refinement
of a community are measured by the
standard of its schools. This of itself
teaches that the development of man,
beginning in childhood, must reach its
highest and most complete state by
culture of the mind, This culture
can be more easily and readily Therefore, at¬
tained in first-class schools.
the conclusion is at once reached that
the special need of each and every com¬
munity of people is such schools. Until
this is had no community can send out
into the active, busy world its sons and
daughters advanced to that high stand¬
ard of educational attainment necessary
to equip them for filling to the fullest
extent their sphere in life.
educational Forsyth is to be congratulated afforded, on the
facilities she lias
and the work she has accomplished in
that direction, but her sphere in that
particular is not filled; the radius of lier
effective work is too limited. She is
blessed with teachers who rank among
the best, and the fruits of their splendid
work should be scattered over more ex¬
tended fields.
In order to accomplish this result vim
and push on the part of our citizens
should be vigorously applied in further¬
ing our educational interest. To say
material nothing of outside patronage, there is
enough in Forsyth and its im¬
mediate vicinity to constitute such a
school as will be a bright star in the gal¬
axy of educational institutions.
Can this material be so handled as to
conduce to this result ? We think it
can. And as touching upon this point,
we welcome the strong hints of our cor¬
respondent in a communication in our
last issue on the subject of co-education,
and we hope that others who entertain
similar views will “speak out in meetin”
on that question.
The progressive educational idea of
the period sanctions the co-education
system, while experience is demonstrat¬
ing its practicability and its good results.
And it is our candid opinion that the
best interest of our boys and girls, as
well as the progress and prosperity of
our schools, demands its introduction in
our duce midst. It will beyond education doubt con¬
children, to a more thorough of
our and will cheapen the cost
of the same. Let parents who have boys
and girls to educate, think on this mat¬
ter. Let the trustees of our schools con¬
sider it wisely.
The Teachers’ Institute.
Last week the teachers of this county
assembled in this city to attend the
Teachers’ Institute. The white teach¬
ers occupied the hall of Hilliard Insti¬
tute and the colored teachers the negro
Baptist church.
Prof. L. 51. Landrum, of Atlanta, an
expert teacher, conducted the exercises
of the Institute under the supervision of
County School Commissioner Scott.
Prof. Landrum’s labors during the
week marked him as one possessed of
those chief characteristics that constitute
the true teacher. In his methods of In¬
struction he demonstrated his efficiency
as one of the ablest educators in the
state.
The Teachers’ Institute is part and
parcel of our educational system, and it
is the fountain from which the teachers
throughout the country can drink lessons
that will he of vast profit to them in
their field of labor. It is indeed a veri¬
table school in which teachers them¬
selves can learn that which they will
doubtless not be able to learn elsewhere.
The expert educator is not a mere theo¬
rist or routinest, but is a strong advocate
of those methods of instruction, whereby
the teachers can lead thier pupils from
one step of progress to another in such an
easy manner that study to the pupil is
not teaching drudgery. Such are the methods of
that should prevail in every
school, and and teachers who cannot adopt
practice them have mistaken their
calling. ing knowledge The antiquated method of driv¬ cud¬
into children with a
gel in the hand of tyranny was too long
the curse of the school room and the
teacher who advocates it now should
quit the business. And wc might add
further that the pupil against whom
such method needs to be enforced is
wasting time by frittering away his days
in the school room.
After five days session on Friday the
Institute closed its labors, from which
will develop, no doubt, in days to come,
much good fruitage.
The Legislative Primary.
5Ve have had several inquiries relative
to the time when the democratic primary
for the nomination of candidates for the
legislature will be had. As yet the ex¬
ecutive committee has taken no action
in that matter. In the meantime the
candidates seeking the nomination are
active The race is getting to be lively
because of the number of candidates in
the field. There is no special need, of
which we are aware. for hastenieg the
primary election for settling the question
as to who shall be the democratic nomi
inees, but we presume the executive
committee will take proper steps to that
end soon. With such a bev\ of clever
candidates before them to choose from,
the voters should have proper and reason
able time in which to make their choice.
55ho will be the lucky candidates is the
question now being asked by many, but
doubtless nothing short of footing up or
each of the several candidates have a
fair following in the county.

An Open Letter.
Editor Advertiser: —Believing it to
be right and proper for a man to com¬
mend honor, integrity, right, justice and
intelligence on all occasions and at all
times, I therefore take the liberty of
expressing both my experience and acquaint¬
ance, in a social and business way
for nearly fifty years of a man who is
too modest to say it for himself.
Knowing the blush will rise on his
cheek while reading what a friend has
to say about him, yet at the same time I
know lie will pardon me for thus expres¬
sing myself.
I see it announced in your paper that
the friends of Robert McGougli have an¬
nounced his name as a candidate for the
Georgia Gough, for legislature—that is Robert Mc
lie is too modest to do it
himself. Now if the people will elect
him he will appreciate the compliment.
He is not going to the people and hog
them to vote for him ; he lias too much
maiden modesty to do a thing of that
kind.
As to his qualifications, all ’round and
in every respect, to make good laws and
repeal bad laws, he is perhaps equal to
any man in the county. He is from and
with the people, having been born and
reared on tlie farm, and is a splendid
farmer. He knows what the people
want and what will be for their good. If
you wish to discuss scientific subjects
and will modestly approach him, ho will
entertain and interest you. Ho is not a
one-idea man, but well posted on many
subjects and on all that concerns man’s
social and financial interest. If you
want bought a man and in sold, tholegislatuie that can be
don’t vote for Robert
McGougli. I speak from nearly fifty
years acquaintance. I have yet to know
a man of more honor, integrity and hon¬
esty, than Robtcrt McGough. You may
class him with the very best on that line.
I have had many thousands of dollars of
dealing dealings with Mr. McGougli, and in those
his word was as good as his
bond; in other words, if every man in
this country was just such a man as
Robert McGough wc would have little
need of a legislature, laws or locks.
Would to God they were. Then we
would have a prosperous people and an
earthly Eden.
I have not seen McGough in six months
nor heard directly from him. I have
said what I have about him because I
think it right, just and proi: :>er.
Robert, if I have offended your modes¬
ty, please forgive me, for I intend no of¬
fense. I have only intended to uphold
and defend those high, manly principles
and traits of character that arc so defi.
cient and weak at the present day, in so
many men.
Accept my best wishes for your health
and success in tlic future.
Your Friend,
John A. Danielly.

Fine Coffee Crop.
Coroner Britt, who in addition to his
official duties presides over his farm near
the city, desires to know why the price
of coffee does not decline now when there
is such a fine crop growing, with the
prospect, if left, unmolested, of an abund¬
ant yield. The coroner claims that, be¬
fore the recent rains, his crop was as
clean as a floor, but that since the rains
the coffee weeds have sprung up and
grown so rapidly, that one can not see
the soil in his cotton fields.
Whether the present juice of coffee
rests upon good and sufficient grounds
or not, we would suggest to the coroner
the propriety of holding an inquest over
those live coffee weeds, and never dis¬
missing the jury until every vestige of
life in them is extinct,and the jury is able
to write of them the verdict dead, dead,
dead. If he will do this we are ready
to guarantee that those weeds will not
be so high, if the price of coffee is.

A Days Outing-.
opportunity Friday last brought the writer the
try, and shortly to spend a day in the coun¬
after 5 o’clock a. m. ac¬
companied by our family and Mrs. Van
divere, Miss May Denning and Miss
Annie Colt, who had never seen that
romantic spot, we left the city for High
Falls. Our notes of the farms began
when we looked out upon the farms of
Dr. A. C. Mooreland and Mr. T. R. Tal
mage, both of which farms show evidence
of active work.
The corn and cotton growing on the
farm of Mr. Talmadge show that he just¬
ly ranks among the best farmers in the
county. The farms of Messrs. Callaway,
Watkins, Chapman, Crowder and others
along tlic route wore encouraging as we
looked out across the broad fields upon
the growing crops. Good rains had fal¬
len a few days before along the entire
route, and the crops generally, and es¬
pecially the cotton, were in line condi¬
tion and quite promising. The absence
of grass and their splendid condition,
were the best evidences that the farmers
have been at work.
After a nine miles drive we nulled up
under the beautiful shady oaks in front
of the splendid country home, now va¬
cant, permitted of Major J. F. Childs, where we

while w t o quenched our thirst with cool
drafts from the splendid well in the yard.
No section of our grand country can
furnish purer and better water than that
to be found in every section of Monroe
county.
Pulling out from those splendid shades
we moved on to our objective point,
upon our arrival at which we met our
friend Mr. Willie Phinazee, who kindly
extended to our party the privileges of
the beautiful grove in front of his home,
from which we could look down upon
the scenery of the Falls, and also the hos¬
pitalities of his home.
Alighting from our carriages and ar¬
after ranging for the comfort of the teams,
a short rest, wo proceeded to take
a view from each side of the river, of the
rolling waters gliding over the huge
boulder that spans the stream at that
point.
It was soon discovered that we were on
nooks a sight-seeing expedition, for few if any
about the Falls were not seen and
commented upon. Having taken a view
of those beautiful cascades from various

sulted and the contents thereof were
found to be amply sufficient and just suit¬
ed to the whetted appetites of the party.
The afternoon hours went by pleasantly
and proved to be. to us, a real, enjoyable
rest. We have seldom spent a day away
from the cares and labors of business
that were to us move recreating, more
restful and more enjoyable.
About 5 p. m. we hooked up our teams
and entered upon our homeward jour¬
ney, taking in as we traveled the attract¬
ive landscapes so plainly visible from
the very elevated points along the high¬
way. From a number of those eleva¬
tions the eye, turned to .any point of the
compass, takes in at a glance dales, a vast ter¬
ritory comprising hills and mean¬
dering streams, broad fields and waving
forests clad in natures green, and all
dotted here and there with peaceful,
quiet and attractive farm homes.
When the sun had gone down behind
the western hills the industrious farmers
and farm laborers \vei*e seen returning
from the fields to enter upon rest after

cumstances is indeed a source of con¬
tentment and happiness.
As the shades of night fell on us we
found ourselves again at home after hav¬
ing pleasantly and spent a day in freedom
from care toil, and in a mood of
mind to vote for a return of similar trips
to the country.
