Five steel bridges are being built on
the A. K. & N. Railroad to take the
place of the wooden structures. The
second of these long bridges over Hia
wassee river, at Reliance, has been fin
ished. The heaviest work is the moun
tain work near Hiawassee, where eight
or nine miles of new road are being
built around the mountain, which the
road now crosses. This work will
greatly reduce the'grades on that por
tion of the road and will make the road
much more valuable gs a freight road,
as well as enabling passenger trains to
make faster time. The work is' very
heavy and will not be completed before
nextspring. The small branches which
are being built near Ducktown, by the
copper ecompanies will be feeders to the

heavier than ever and General Mana

The Bell Bill,
A committee of colored ministers
have memorialized the legislatare pro
testing against the passage of the Bell
bill, which seeks to amend the consti
tution so as to devote to the negro
schools of the state only the amount of
taxes relized from property owned and
lpoll taxes by members of that race.
It seems to me that these ministers
approach the matter in the wrong spirit,
for they begin by assuming that they
are legally and morally entitled to their
pro rata share (based I suppose upon
| numbers) of the, public school fund.
This is a great mistake. While the
. constitution of our state makes provis
ion for public schools, it does not do so
on the same principle that it establish
es courts of justice for the protection
of-life and property. It is the right of
every citizen to have recourse to the
courts for the redress of grievances,
Society is founded upon this prineiple.
Fhe public schools are, however, a
pure gratuity, a gift from the people
collectively to the people individually,
and being such the people have the per
fect right to preseribe the manner in
which they shall operate. Suppose
there were no public school system in
this etate (a fact thirty-five years ago)
could the colored people complain if
the whites should agree among them
selves to establish such schogls for the
white children, to be supported exclu
sively by taxation of the whites? How
would they be injured thereby? Could
not they do the same thing themselves?
When these ministers claim that negro
schools are entitied to a proportionate
share, based upon numbers, of the pub
lic school fund of the state, they in ef
fect eontend that it is A’s duty to sup
‘pors B’s family. The Bell bill provides
that every cent of taxes realized from
negro property and polls shall be de
voted to the negro schools, relieving
that race entirely from the burdens of
government. When it is considered
how much the colored people cost the
state through the coarts, almshouses,
ete., this is a tremendous.concession to
them. The Bell bill is not repugnant
‘to the constitution of the United States
for tife last three amendments to that
instrument guarantees to the negro
only the elective franchise and the
equal protection of the laws.
This committee of ministers allege
that to make a distinction in the distri
bution of the public school fund as
against the negro, would be as invid
ious as to make it agains® the Hebrew,
the German or the Frenchman. To
quote former President Cleveland’s
maxim, ‘ltisacondition that confronts
us and not a theory.”” Under the con
stitution of the United States, the
source of all the rights which negroes
possess, they are citizens only to the
extent of having the elective franchise
and the equal protection of the laws.
It is outside of the scope of any govern
ment to interfere with the social rela
fions of its citizens. The Hebrew, the
German and the Frenchman are all as
similated with their brethren of the
same race in America. The negro is
not. Hence what may be desirable in
the latter case is not so in the former.
The Bell bill has beén tabledfor this
session butit islikely to come up again ;
and in event thateach county is re
quired to'raise a certain amount for
school purposes before being allowed:
to participate in the distribution of the
state fund it will probably pass, per
haps allowing colored schools a propor
tionate share from other sourees.

Sunday morning Rev. 8. R. Belk
preached his farewell sermon, a rousing
goud one, too. He seemed to have re
ceived an inspiration, knowing the con
dition of the church and people of El
berton and feeling that it was his last
opportunity, he dealt with his subject
in a rhasterly manner. At night he
talked of his past work and the kind
and considerate treatment the pegle
of Elberton had accorded him a s
during their stay in our mids e
was too full of emotion to preaciand
his congregation was too full to listen
to a sermon. During the service Mrs.
Hunter sang a beautiful solo which
was indeed appropriate for the occasion
and which brought tears to a large
nnmber.—Elberton Star.
THE SPIRIT OF GIVING.
One of the most beautiful customws
engrafted on the Christmastide is the
spirit of giving to friends and the
loved ones who are within the inner
circle of our lives, says the Rome Trib- |
une. Itseems singularly appropriate
that the anniversary of the Nativity
should be made a season to tender{‘
these testimonials of affections un
siudied esteem. i
But unhapily for humanity and for
the preservation of the joy of this holy
season, we are drifting away from alli
that makes it dear. 'Wé are letting the
extravaganciesof the age creep into our
Christmas giving to destroy its tenderl
gignificance.
We give beyond our means. We are
not content to remhember with some
simple and inexpensive gift. ‘‘ls this
costly enough ?”’ is the question, and no
thought of the thrill of delight the re
cipient may feel to be thug in your
heart. =
How often noy do we hear, “Well,
Christmas is nearly hear, and I do
dread it! I have so many presents to
make that it is a burden beyond my
means to buy them. Yetl cannot fail
to remember all my friends and rela
tives, for they would think me selfish,
and the gifts mustnot be cheap for they
woula deem me niggardly.”
‘lt is all wrong, and n tendency that
is surely killing the sweetness and .ten
derness of the day when heart, mind
and soul should kneel in adoration.
Give within your means. Remember
with something useful. Do not feel
like giving is a dnty, for all the beauty
of the deed is destroyed ‘in so doing.
Give because love impels, and with
such a motive reason ‘w’il sway your
expenditure.
After all it is the spirit it which we
give. If you are right thinking, you
will feel the conscious glow of a worthy
act; if the recipient is right thinking,
he or she will not stop to ask the cost,
but will remember only the =affection
which lends priceless value to the gift.
LECTURE ASSOCIATION.
The association will offer on next
Monday night, December 17th, for their
fourth series Spedon, the celebrated
carvoonist, in his humorous and artistic
entertainment. The members are re
quested to come prepared to laugh, as
you will have to laugh harder and more
of it than you ever laughed before.
Please come and look as pleasing as
possible as Mr. Spedon may draw your
&icture before the entertainment closes.
r. Spedon is certainly an artist in his
line and a lar§e audience should -hear
him. This will be the last entertain
ment under the auspices of the Lyceum
for 1900, and the next lecture will oe
cur on January sth.
