DISFRANCHISEMENT.
The ratification of the disfranchise
ment act In October should appeal
strongly to the people of Georgia and
it is a measure that should be con
stantly kept in the minds of the people
who believe so strongly in the good old
times when the white people ruled
entirely.
There is a movement on foot among
the negroes all over the state to regis
ter themselves, endeavoring to defeat
the proposed law. This fact alone
should impress every one with the
necessity of making a strong effort to
ratify the act and we feel no appre
hension as to the outcome, but make
this statement of facts merely to keep
the friends of the bill on their guard.

THE SCHOOL.
SEND THEM TO COLLEGE
Send the boy nnd girl to college this
fall. Now is none too early to decide
this important question. It will he

the days of life. An education
best investment you can
them.
1 Iouse9 may burn up, real estate de
preciate in value, hanks break, hut the
benefits of an education last as long as
life itself. In these days collegiate ed
ucation need not necessarily be con
fined to the children of the rich. There
are many institutions where young
people can live at astonishingly low-
cost.
There are i thers where energetic
students can find something to do to
help pay for schooling, and this is
really the better plan, for a boy who
has to work for his education appre
ciates it.
Hut send the hoy or girl to college
even if you have to make a sacrifice to
do so. To be sure the education may
not "take” hut even if it does not, you
will have the satisfaction of knowing
that you did your full duty. In this
day and time a parent who does not
give his child the best education possi
ble, falls short of his duty.
It is tru that many men and women
who are not college bred make shining
successes in life, and many who ore
make monumental failures. But the
successes would have been brighter for
education, nnd the failures more mon
strous from the lack of it.
So send them to college, a Georgia
college, too.— Rome Tribune-Herald.
.Tust in this connection we would
like to make a local application of the
above sentible remarks. In our county
we have schools that have done more
for this section of Georgia than any
we know of. Their graduates and
those who have attended and gone out
to elevate and carry new ideals to
their homes, and there is not a county
Did Some Good.
The suggestion of the Herald
tlmt the officials have the school
house property renovated nnd
painted has evidently been taken
in good faith and quite a number
of improvements have been made,
among which is a coat of white
wash on the trees up to the limbs.
The Town Croaker.
The home newspaper is in no sense a
child of charity. It earns every dol
lar it recieves, and is no enterprise in
upbuilding a community. Its patrons
reap more benefits from its pages than
its publishers, and in calling for the
support of the community it asks for
no more than in all fairness belongs to
it. Patronize your paper as you
would any other enterprise, because it
helps you and not as an act of charity.
Tabernacle.
The Sandersville High School opened
its doors for another year of activity
and work Wednesday, September 2nd.
The prospects for the coming year are
very bright; ar. excellent faculty has
been placed in charge of the direction
of the work and numerous improve-1 in all this section that has not felt the
merits have been made on the inside good influences of our Washington
and outside of the building. The | county schools,
council and the board of education
have exerted painstaking effort to That‘‘Whisker Club” proposition is
place every tiling in proper shape and | something fierce !
in readiness for a successful year in
the school. This effort on the part of
our officials has not been unnoticed by
our observing citizens; they, at least
many of them, have signified their in
tention of showing a corresponding
interest and of exerting themselves in
a combined attempt to make the school
all that it should be.
We commend this spirit of united
Btruggle for the purpose of elevating
and enlightening our people and mak
ing sure the foundation of our future
growth and development. We would
say now r and at every other convenient
time that we are always In favor of any
policy which tends to strengthen the
educational interest of our town and
community. We call upon the people
to show the same commendable spirit
that our officials have and are exer
cising. The returns for our labor
when exerted in this direction are
greater and more permanent than for
anything else we may engage in. In
doing such work we build for the fu
ture more certainly and more com
pletely than when we erect structures
tor business which must some day per
ish. Right ideas instilled into youthful
minds are the determining factors in
deciding eternal destinies. Knowledge
and wisdom are the crowning attri
butes of complete and successful liv
ing.
Bo we take this opportunity to say
that we think it the duty of every citi
zen to say a word in behalf of the
school, do some act to advance the
cause or if it be in our power to do
some great and lasting work for school
interest. Whatever comes, let us have
no knockers, no croakers, no dis
gruntled disagreeables, for this is our
school and maintained for our interest
We would urge also co-operation with
the new faculty. They are all high-
toned, well equipped, and thoroughly
honest teachers. They expect your
support and if you do not heartily ren
der such support you will fail to do
your full duty in this matter. Let us
then give them our hearty support in
In every town you find Home
nu n who always croak and growl;
their cbeiof ftmusemeut seems to
he to snarl and whine nnd howl.
Of course they do not prosper
well—such people seldom do—and
so they strive to make themselves
nnd all their neighbors blue. If
strangers come, these men en
deavor to get them off alone, and,
speaking in doleful tones, toll
them the town is dead amj passed
away, and hasn’t any enterprise
that half begins to pay; how real
estate is very low nnd taxes very
high, and every improvement
scheme is sure to wane and die.
The good book says a day will
come when all must pass away
and change lor wings and golden
harps this tenement of clay; the
earth will burn with fervent heat,
the sun go out in gloom, and
every living, breathing thing shall
tomb. When that time comes
the croaker who drives against
this town—and tries to drive good
men away and breaks their efforts
down—will be declared a victim
for a special dose of llame—ten
thousand years and he will be
just the same. Meantime the en
ergetic man who labors for his
town, who always works to build
up instead of tearing down, will
ride from earth to heaven in a
Pullman palace car, and will
dwell in peace forever, where first-
class angels are.—Ex.

to head off the mailorder houses is for
the local merchants to advertise liber

the successful mail order houses are
heavy advertisers and if they make it

A lady who understands advertising
says: ‘‘No lady wishes to be looked
upon as a shopping fiend, she does not
care to go into a store and have a mer
chant show all his stock in order to
find out whether ho keeps what she
wishes to purchase and whether the
article is sold at a price she can afford.
It is much easier and pleasanter to
look through the advertisements of a
paper than it is to bore the clerks and
waste her own time. Next to the local
news items, the advertisements in a
paper stating articles for sale with
prices, will keep much of the money
that goes to the large cities at home.—
