Kimroits Constitution.—I had in

ment ot the Convention of County
School Commissioners which was in
sesson in this city last week, to prepare
a communication for your paper, giv
ing a brief statement of the informa
tion obtained, ami the results readied;
but circumstances beyond my control
have delayed a little the execution
of this purpose. I hope, however,
I .am not too late; inaMnuch as the sub
ject which eon vexed the body is one
of the great importance—one in which
the people of the entire State have
deep interest.
One notewortliy fact is that the
tendance, tinder the eircumstanc
was very large. There were represen
tatives from seventy-seven conn '
A list of these counties was giver

ren, Washington, Wayne, Webster,
Whitfield and Wilcox. * A number of
the commissioners of comities not rep
resented, write that they were preven
ted from attending by sickness m their
families, and other cause.
The roll oi the counties was called
and the representatives made briet re
ports upon the status of public opinion
aud the nruspects ot the school work
within their respective jurisdictions.
There was very great unanimity in
their reports, much, rent much to en
courage and nothing sufficient to cause
an) thing like despondence. All agree
that the failute to pay the debt con
tracted in 1S71 had produced, tempo
rarily. a damaging effect. When U
became known that the contracting of
this debt was an error of administra
tion, that it was done without resour
ces, that the nial-appropriatiou of the
fund took place before a single one of
the teachers of is; l was employed, and
that for this stale ot things the present
administration «•» the Mate goveru-
: ulf
extci
The inaction ot school matters in
1ST'2 was satisfactorily explained to the
popular mind l*v the existing indebt
edness and an utter lack ot resources
to meet that indebtedness, ami abso
lutely nothing in hand with which to
re-inaugurate school-. When SlOtHiO,
(K*U was distributed, the first ot this
year, to make part payment on the old
debt, there was to some extent a
re-action in public feeling, and now
that we have assurance ot vhe payment
in a few weeks of another installment
on that debt, about equal in amount to
the former, and are certified of the ad
ditional fact that there will he iuhand
ready tor distribution a very consider-
hie school fund to be used for support
ing tjchools the future year, it is be
lieved that the re-nct ion in a very large
number ofeouuties will he permanent
ly established. An overwhelming ma
jority of the commissioners believed
that all that was necessary to make
the public school system a decided suc
cess was a sufficient fuud, promptness
in distributing it, the avoidance of debt
and higid faithfulness in the general
administration.
The committee on ousiness reported
in the afternoon of the first day. There
were two reports, a majority and mi
nority report.
The majority report favored the
continuance in force of the present law.
with only such changes, from time to
time, as experience may suggest; the
strengthening of the system winch it
establishes by conferring upon the
country authorities the nower of local
taxation, and the makfng of suitable
provision, at as early a day as practi
cable, for the payment of the obi
debt.
The minority report recommended
the repeal of the present law; the sub
stitution iu its stead of the education
al provisions of Irwin's Code, with
such as may he uecessary, and the
continuance of the department of edu
cation as now established, with a suit
able bead to diieci and supervize the
educational operations of tiie State.
The minority report was considered
and acted upon first, and was voted
down.br an almost unanimous x’Otc.
The majority report was then consid
ered, and when acted upon, reccix'ed
almost the entire vote ot the conven
tion, there being, in the opinion of the
xvriter, uot more Ilian fixe or six votes
against. There has hardly ever been
a convention iu this State, perhaps, in
wlich as as much ununiinity prevailed,
and T look for the very best results to
follow.
It may be well here to explain what
is meant by the policy of local taxation,
which the convention proposes. In
the summer of 1672, when the present
. general evbooj lav was on its passage
an attempt was made to confer upon
the County Board of Education the
power of authorizing the levy of a lo
cal tax in their respective counties or
in any sub-Uistrict therein, to supple*,
meat the fund furnished by the State
for the support ot schools. The same
proposed legislation confered upon
the Boards power to authorize the levv
of a tax in any sub-district for build
ing school houses therein, and procu
ring school furniture giving them the
right to have the houses built by the
voluntary labor of the citizens -wher-
ex'er that mode xvas considered prefer
able. The local taxation was to be
entirely voluntary, and in no case,
without submitting the question to
the popular vote. The safe-guards
agaiust onerous levies were as follows:
The members ot the Board of Education
are appointed by the. grand jury a,
conserx-ative body—are required to be
free- holders and are thus represent
atives of the property interest—and
arc removable on address of two
thirds of the grand jury. The sec
tion of the bill which conferred the
power of local taxation, was defeated
bv a tie x'ote in the Senate, the Pres
ident giving his casting \*ote against.
At the session of the Legislature, last
winter, a supplemental school bill
was introduced into the House, con
ferring the poxver of local taxation, as
briefly sketched abox'e, with an addi
tion safeguard against excessive c
actions. That safe-guaru consisted
requiring the boards themselves, in
every case, to fix before hand the
amount cf the tax to be raised before
submitting the question to the \-otc of
the people. The bill received a ma
jority of one on the vole in the house,
hut the speaker was allowed to vote
under a rule of the House, which
res hint the right of voting whenev-
his x-ote will alter the filial result,
and cast his vote against thus produ
cing a tie, and causing the loss of the
icasure. 1 he idea of local taxation,
s set forth in the above, historic
ketch, was urged before the conx en-
ion. and is, I think, the true idea of
the local taxation which they advo-
a!e. The best systems iu this couli
re and abroad afe those which are
ustnined, to a large extent, by local
nxation, and we must have some
thing of this kind in our State if we
hope ever to achieve a high degree of
success.
I he population of Georgia b7 the
rensus of 1870, is 1,184,108. Of this
population there are 4(58,083 persons
ten )ears ot age and over, who are un
able to read aud write. I hese are clas
sified as follows: whites 124,032, color
ed 4(53,070, Indians 17. These statis
tics and others, taken from the census
of 1870, were commented upon with
great force in an address made by the
Governor to the convention. "*
persons have the right of x’oting and
holding otlice under the laws. They
have as much right in shapiug the des
tiny of the State at the ballot box as
our most intelligent citizens. Wc can
not afford to stand still aqjl permit
this mass of ignorance to do its work,
Self preservation demands the most
earnest effort to remove ignorance
from our midst, and to prepare the
xx hole people, as far us xx-c may he
able to do so for exercising the duties
of citizenship.
The convention dispersed with en
larged views of importance of the
work in which they arc engaged, and
will doubtless carry xvith them into
the discharge of their duties increased
earnest ness. 1 hope that all the pa
pers of the State that arc willing to
co-operate xvith us in this xvork _ of
seeking to elcx’ate the masses xvill copy
this communication.

Enterprise and Newspapers.
*Jf the reader wishes to get a good
idea of a distant city, town, or section,
which he never has, and never may
see, lie at once seeks out a newspaper
published iu the place and he reads
it over carefully. lie does not read the
news, for in niuc cases out of ten the
freshest telegraphic news is old to him
before the newspaper reaches his hand,
hut apart from this the nows come
from the outside world, and in no xvay
represents the place where the jour
nal is published. The reader there-
tote forms his oninions of the place
from the local columns and the adver
tising. If the local columns are filled
with police reports, dog fights, horse
races, whiskey rows, and suits for di
vorce, the opinion of that places mor
ality must he anything but fax’orable.
If tho editorials be copied, braiuless,
wish-washy or aimless, lie comes to
the couchi-ion that tiie intellectual
standard where the paper is published
cannot he very high, and so from the
paper the reader at a distauce makes
up his mind as to the intelligence and
morality of the place where it is pub
lished.
To a stranger thens is no part of a
paper so interesting as the adx’ertisc-
meats. Every reader kuows this fur
himself. From the advertising col
umns lie makes up his opiaiou op the
thrift and business enterprise of the
place, aud in ninety-nine cases out ofa
hundred he is right, for nothing so in
dicates the business and enterprise of
n place as the advertising columns of
its leading papers. If the reader xvill
stop for a moment and think lie will
see that wc arc a correct in every par
ticular. The business xvants iu the
Times speak of Loudott. as those in
tiie Ilernld do of New York, the
Ledger of Philadelphia, the Sun of
Baltimore, and the Commercial of
Cincinnati. Either of the papers
named would gix'c a stranger, in its
advertising column, mcompletc picture
of the xvants and resources of their
respective cities, and to a strong
advertising columns present the great
est interest.—Columbus Enquirer.
IVc commend the above to the read
ers of tho Times. There are many
sound practical hints therein, that xvill
strike the reflective mind at once.
We ask you to read this carefully, aud
then answer the question. Arc you
encouraging to tho extent of your
ability, the local papers ot your city,
that they may show to the world, that
Thomasvillc is a live thorough going
place. This is a question iu which
each citizen, is as much, or even more
interested iu than we are. If we tell
the public that this is the best busi
ness point in South West Georgia,
they naturally look to our advertising
columns, for evidence of the tact —
And they “tell the tale,” it they find
them crowded.
With advertisements, representing
all the lines of trade, the conclusion is
forcible, that Thotnasville certainly is
a live place, and that it would pay to
invest money here, go into business,
etc.* But if they find a few meagre
and sickly adx’crtiseraents, the conclu
sion is irresistible, that this is no place
to come to. Wc take it for grauted,
that every citizen here (especially the
business men of the place.) is anxious
the town grow, increase iu pop
ulation, and become infact, the town of
Scutli West Georgia. This can only
be accomplished by a liberal aud
united concert of action, on the part
of merchants, press, and people. Let
us all give a long pull, a strong pull,
and a pull all together; aud uot relax
our efforts, but given to each other,
that generous support which should
ever characterize a people, who are
working for the common good, thereby
ensuring the most happy re*ult, # wh!ch
wiU surely crown our labors.

From Arkansas.
Hot Sfbings, Ark., June 25th 1673.
Mess. Editors.—Thinking a line
from this point might be read with
some interest by some of your readers,
I have thought it proper to give you
a few dots, in relation to these won
derful springs. These springs are sit
uated on the western atop® of Hot
Springs mountain (being a margin of
the Ozark), distant'westerly from Lit
tle Rock, on the Arkansas River,
about fifty miles, at an estimated ele
vation of fourteen hundred feet above
the level of the_sea. ^
These springs, fifty-four in number,
are found bursting out from the side
of this mountain, and winding their
course down through troughs and
pipes to the bath bouses below, situa
ted at the foot of the mountain. Some
of these springs are quite small, while
others are larger. Some of them are
found to rise, one to two hundred
yards up the side of this slope, while
others rise near the base. There is
one very large spring just at the foot
ot this slope, boiJiug out from under
tho ledge of a rock in the edge of a
small brook that winds its course
along the valley.
Here is one of nature's grand for*
mations. Hot xvater, as it were, boil
ing up iu the midst of cold water, or
so near, that one can stand with one
hand in the brook, which is cold, while
the other hand you could rest in this
hot spring, provided you could stand
the heat; this is called the Iron spring,
and from appearance, judging from
the color of the sediment that gathers
on tiie rocks, it must be strongly im
pregnated xvith iron.
Some of these springs arc moderate
ly warm, while others arc so warm
that you cannot hear your hand iu
in them. I have been informed that
the mean temperature of these springs
are one hundred and thirty-four de
grees fahr., they range from ninety-
three to one hundred and fifty degrees
fahr., and the total discharge of water
is estimated at three hundred and sev
enteen gallons of water ex'ery minute.
There is a great many peculiarities
about these waters, and one of them
is, you may driuk just as much as you
want or crowd the stomach, and you
feel no ill-conx'cniencc or nausea from
it. The heat from this hot xvater
seems to be quite different from ordi*
nary water thut is made hot. Anoth
er peculiarity of these Vators are, Unit
you may place a ketUc of this hot
ter beside a kettle of cold water, <
hot stove, and the cold water will boil
first Another peculiarity of these
waters is the marked effect they have
in aiding patties to overcome and
quit the use of tobacco, spirits, opiates,
or narcotics of any kind. Out of niue
hundred or one thousand visitors here,
from all parts of the world, it is a very
rare chance that you see a
least intoxicated. Some of your readers
may think the reason why there is no
druukenneas here, that the city coun
cil must be very strict, to keep sue 1 .:
good order, but let me assure yon
there is no city council here, nor auy
incorporation. I notice also anothc
peculiarity about this water, xvhile ii
the bath tub, that the water has a ten
dency to buoy one up, and it seems
though each limb would weigli a half
ton. Tiie limb is very easily brought
to the service of the xvater, but it
seems almost an impossibility to raise
it out the water. I hax'c ofteu heard
when a boy, the story goinj
rounds, that there could be seen laige
piles of crutches and old sticks
near these springs, left here by inva
lids who had been cured, und had
thrown their crutches and sticks aside,
and had gone on their way t ejoicing.
This may have been so before the re
bellion (or the last war between the
States), but to-day the crutches and
sticks arc not seen scattcicd
fuscly around.
You Mess. Editors nor your many
n ailers must not think for a moment,
from reading the above paragraph
that, in the opinion of the xvriter.
these springs have lost auy their
former virtue or properties, far from
this. I am fully persuaded, from
what I have seen and hcatd from
some of the residents here, that thero
has been some xvonderful cures made
by a proper use of these waters. They
are said to be good for almost every
ill tiiat flesh is heir to. Their renown
must he very great abroad, judging
from the vast nnrnber of invalids here
from all pans of the xx-orld. The fol
lowing line of diseases arc cured
bcnctiitvd: Rheumatism, gout, still'
joints, contraction of tiie muscles,
skin diseases as a class, scrofula, ul
cerations and enlargement of the
glands, general debility, spioal dis
eases. neuralgia, netx’ous affections,
partial paralysis, uterine diseases, as
a class, mercurial, and all forms of
syphiitic diseases. This water is
said to be a specific for the latter dis-
sease in any of its forms. Many
forms of chronic diseases ate said to
show maiked improvement by the ju
dicious use of the waters. The ac
commodation fur eating, sleeping,
drinking and bathing are very good.
There are several private boarding
houses, besides some ten or twelx’e
public hotels. Board per month
ranges from thirty to seventy-fire dol
lars. Fhysiciau's fee twenty-five per
month; use of the water or bath house
privileges, ten dollars per month, how
ever, I believe there is some of the ho
tels that do not make any extra
charges for bathing, to their guests,
or regular boarders. The facilities
for bathing here in the summer are
much better than in winter, as there
are only two batli houses connected or
under the same roof, with the hotels.
The water, I presume, would be just
as good in winter as iu summer, if the
facilities for bathing were good. The
great danger in w inter is contracting
colds and coughs, as most of the bath
houses are off from the hotels, mod one
is in great danger, or 1 would think so
in winter, after going into the bath,
which almost invariably gets op or
creates more ot less perspiration, nod
then having to walk several paces to
your hotel, through the cold wind,
wpuld be dat^eiuus. Lounoexs.
