3Jcw iW Will l»c Avallnl> If.
The question most* discussed
throughout the slate just now iafhe,
new schqoftaw, whose purpose is to
swell the school fund so that credit
able system of public schools rbzy be
maintained. *
. There is no doubt of the used the
increased fund in 1890, but the ques
tion now troubling the various
county commissioners is whether it
is safe to count on any material in
crease fyr the present year. Tode-
qjje this question, State School
Comraissioner*Hook has been called
upon to analyze the law. His re
ply is published in the-Georgia Edu
cational Journal. ,
THE POLL TAX FI. FAS.
The first question wa3 as to what
particular the existing law had been
amended. This, Commissioner Hook
answers thus:
In no essential particular but one,
and that was to turn back the col
lection ot poll tax fi fas into the
hands of the tax collector for collect
ion. The county school commis
sioners complained very much at
this provision of the Denny law—
since it imposed an onerous, and in
many cases vexatious, duty, taking
time from'other important duties of
their office, and giving little or no
compensation fer this extra work.
The change back to the old mode
was wise legislation.
THE INCEEASED FUND.
The chief interest attaches to the in
crease of tha fund. This question
Commissioner Hook answers:
It is difficult to answer this question
/with definiteness beyond a certain point.
It is certain that the $105,000 appro
priation will be added to the school
fund forjthis year of 1889, and the
$330,000 appropriation will be added
to the school fund in 1890. Ample
provision is made in the tax act
meet these two appropriations. The
amendment of tho Hon. John I. Hall,
of the senate, will doubtless bring very
considerable increase to tba fund, but
just how much or when we will reach
it, are questions involved in doubt,
beoause dependent upon contingencies.
I inquired of the able and distinguish
ed senator of the twenty-sixth® district
what amount of probable increase of
taxable property bo anticipated as the
result of his amendment to the tax act,
and received the following reply,
which I take the liberty to insert here:
Atlanta, Ga., January 17, 1889.
—Dear Jndge: I am satisfied that
the new tax law is properly executed;
if the official charged with its execu
tion goes at his work with the deter
mination to get all the taxes possible—
and this he should do—tbo increase of
taxable property will amount to be
tween fifty aud one hundred millions.
Indeed I might say that I know that
tho result will bo fully as much as
have stated. Yours truly, etc.,
John I. Hall.
This opinion of Judge Hall
shared by a large majority of the
senators and many of the leading
and prominent men of the state.
When the appropriation bill was final
ly agreed upon, as the work of con
ference committees of the senate and
house, the appropriation of $165,<
for common schools in 1889, and
$330,000 in 1890, which the house
had voted, were confirmed, and the
act proceeded further to declare
follows: “Should the returns of tax
able property for the year 1889 and
for I890 prove to be greater than
three hundred and sixty millions of
dollars, then, and in that cise, the
sums arising from the general tax
levy ol two and seventyj hundredths
mills for 1889 and from the general
levy of two and forty hundredths
mills for 1890 upon said returns of
taxable property in excess of three
hundred and sixty millions of dollars
is hereby appropriated to the com
mon school fund of the state, in ad
dition, etc., etc.”
The taxable property last year
footed up to $357,167,458.
crease this to the named amount of
$360,000,000, there will have to be
only an increase of $2,832,445.
Judge Hall says the taxable property
under the new law will be increased
between 50,000,000 and 100,000,000
dollars. Let us suppose it will be
creased 75,000,000. This would
leave us over and above 360,000,000
say in round numbers,’72,00
taxable property whose tax would go
to the school fund- This would give
$194,400 for 1889, and 8172,800 for
1890. Ot coursft this surplus de
pends, as I have already said, on
contingencies that may not happen.
And even if they should happen we
would still have trouble, perhaps, in
getting at it so as to appoint it
for this year’s schools, unless the le^
islalure, at its summer session, shall
provide by proper act for
ITS IMMEDIATE APPORTIONMENT
which I hope it will do. If this
doubtful fund should be added, the
school fund will all foot up this year,
as follows:
FOUR MONTHS SCHOOLS ADVISED,
Yet, l am so hopelul that the leg
islature will put the machinery in mo
tion, at its July sessions, that will en
able us to get whatever surplus may
be found over ihe $360,000, that I
have advised that contracts with
teachers might be made for four
m onths out af the public 'school
fund, •whatever tbit may prove to be.
I can but think if he does not find
money enough to pay for the four
raonts term, he will 'come as near,
perhaps, in paying out that term as
it has heretofore in paying the* three
months term.
MATTERS HELD OVER.
There are several important bills af
fecting the school law that have .gone
over to the July session among which is
the bill to establish six months schools.
This very important measure was re
ported by Senator Brad well, chairman,
by the direction of the very able senate
committee on public schools, and there
is no doubt that at the summer session
it will pass the senate by a large ma
jority; and who can doubt, in the view
of the noble and patriotic action of
the house, on educational matters at
the late session, what its action will be
when the bill reaches it from the sen
ate? Then, with the amount our
proud old etate will furnish, aided as it
surely will be, by the large annual
contribution through the Blair bill,
indeed there will b* an educational
boom in Georgia (the grandest of all
booms) that will make all our hearts
glad. Another bill that hes gone over;
contemplates a repeal of the Denny act
and a return to the old law, one relates
to tbe uniformity cf school books
throughout the 6tate, and 6till others,
none of which can 1 n jw pause to com
ment upon, as I have made answer to
your second question longer thun I in
tended.”
The above exposition of the law, its
purposes and the time when results
may be expected therefrom, will be
read with interest by ihe people of tbe
state. It is proper to add in this con
nection that great credit is due Com
missioner Hooker for bis admirable
work in building up the school fund
and in having presented to the legisla
ture in such terms as to call for the
notable response made by that body.
The public school system of Georgia
will be a memory of Judge Hook.—

Tilden’.M Natal Day.
New York, Feb. 9.—The Harlem
Democratic Club held a re-union and
banquet to-night in honor of the anni
versary of Samuel J. Tilden’s birthday.
President Charles W. Dayton presided.
Among the 185 who sat down were
Col. J. It. Fellows, Henry Walter ion
and Col Ashbel P. Fitch.
Letters of regret were read from
President Cleveland, Gov. Hill, «
Randolph Tucker, John Bigelow, ej
Gov. George Hoadley and Col. Job
A. Cockcrill. Col. Watters on deliv
ered an address of commemora 1
its course he said:
“I know that Mr. Tilden did not
make a promise or spend a dollar to
obtain the nomination in 187G, and
that within my personal knowledge he
twice refused corrupt arrangements by
either one of which bis inauguration
would have been reasonably sure. I
never heard him utter a word of
plaint touching the cavalier treatment
he received in the Cincinnati conven
tion in 1880. He believed that the
renomination of the old ticket was the
logic of the situation, but he had no
wish personal to himself on the sub
ject, and if the nomination had, in spite
of bis letter, come to him ho would have
accepted it. It is undoubtedly :ruc
that Mr. Tilden wanted to be Presi
dent, and that he believed himself
elected, but rather than enter the white
l\0use by the back door he bad Tather
not enter at all.”

No country in the world has more

Norway. Its mountains are grand and
its lakes are charraioz. Oue can wan

and always find something new and
interesting. The people are polite and

has a history that is full of romance.
It furnishes material for song and story,
and the traveler who is familiar with it
finds that it adds greatly to his pleas

Unprofitable Far min".
Reading, Pa , Feb; 9.—The sheriff
of Berks county to-day sold ten fine
farms in this county, aggregating near
ly 1,000 acres. Daring the present
winter season the sheriff has sold some
twenty other large farms, besides the
farm stock of twenty othtr farmer?, all
of whom had failed. This condition
of things is taken as an indication that
farming no longer pays as formerly, as
a similar state of affairs exists in other
counties in this section of tho state.
. : - A Rond Congress.
The Georgia weekly press is moving
in the interest of a better road system.
Public sentiment is bring aroused
to the necessity of improving the con
dition of the pnblie highways, which,
as they are now, are a disgrace* to tbe
progressive spirit with which the state,
is credited.
Atlanta's call for a road congress
meets with favor, and it is probable that
it will result in an important meeting
of representative men from all parts of
the state, at which the question of
road improvement will be fuliy dis
cussed, and some plan will probably be
agreed upon as a basis on. which to be
gin practical operations.
The Greensboro Herald and Jour
nal, which has taken particular inte
rest in the movement, says of the pro
posed congress:
In another column we publish a call
signed by some of the most prominent
citizens of Georgia, nrging that a con
gress be held in Atlanta during the
month of May, and steps be taken to
bring out the best means of improving
tbe roads.
It is not necessary to discuss how vi
tal the question is, or how grave and
interesting are .the reasons
calling for an improvement. It
has been a point, which, for more than
six years, we have urged upon our peo
ple, and in this time the necessities
which exist for improvement have time
and again been set forth.
The point now is, how can the im
provement be secured? In our opin
ion the cheapest as well, as the surest
plan is briefly:
1. To use tbe couniy convicts.
2. To supplement them with a small
tax and such free labor as may desire
to work out that tax. ”
3. The appointment in each county
a superintendent of roads, who Shall
> an experienced and competent man,
understanding the best methods of
irking roads, and held under bond
for the faithful discharge of the obli
gations imposed.
A tax levied for this purpose would
be small, and would fall less heavily
than the loss now sustained by farmers
by the obstacles which prevent the easy
marketing of their crops. It ii
short-sighted policy which fails to see
that the amount cf money which the
farmers are at present indirectly taxed
is not greater than would be necessary
if the system under which the roads
are worked were perfected and the la
bor concentrated.
All these facts are to be discussed
beforethe assembly of the road
gress acd will be thoroughly ventilated
by that body.
The question is one which addresses it
self particularly to the commercial
tercsts of the state;butit is of more direct
importance to tbe farmers than any
body else. The interest involved
in it to this great class of the state’i
people, reaches every farm house ii
Georgia, and probably the greatest re
lief which could be extended them,
from annoyances and troubles to which
they are subjected, would be in
thorough road By stem.
The LaGrange Reporter, in urging
action for good roads, says:
“The Reporter believes strongly in
the necessity of ‘mending our ways’ if
we would be a happy and thrifty peo
ple. Loss of temper, time, and money
is one of the dear penalties imposed by
our persistent neglect of the highways.
We have a good board of commission
ers in Troup ODunty—men chosen to
lo)k afeer roads and revenues—aud
they discharge their duty honestly
But there is no public opinion to back
them in enforcing the law and spend
ing money for their betterment. Our
roads are simply execrable. Grand
Juries usually pass the delinquency
with some simple comment in their
presentments. Reproof unenforced by
penalty amount* to nothing.
The whole subject of roads in the
South needs thorough discussion and
ventilation. Means should bo adopted
to affect a radical and lasting reform in
a matter that involves the comfort of
the people and the growth of
monwcalths. Troup ccunty should
send seme of her best men to tho con
gress.”
If the proposed congress is a success
and it ought to be, there is no reason
why the legislature, at its summer ses
sion, should not substantially recognize
its suggestions, if they are practical.

The Man Who Plants But Boos
Not Farm,
There are “many then of* many
minds,” both in thp agricultural acd
mercantile worlds. The varieties of
ideas among agriculturists
multiplied as the men are numerous,
hot there are questions upon which
agriculturists should agree end which
are questions of vital importance to
them and to the prosperity of the
country. One of these questions is tbe
importance of nosing home {applies.
Another is the subject of commercial
manure, while one of the mosg impor
tant questions is raising and keeping
etcck. . The agriculturists of the Sooth
are generally divided into two classes,
the planters and the farmers. Yon
may say now that these two words are
synonymous, but they are not. Piast
er means one who plants; farmer means
not only one who plants, but one who
cultivates also and who raises what be
consumes. Yon may ask one doz-n
men, whom yon may take as yon me*t
them, if a condensed system of farming
is not better than the old broadcast
system of planting and they will tell
yon yes. Watch these'dezen men and
you will see that at least six of them
do not believe any such thing, for they
want to plant the whole earth and try
to cultivate it.
They will plant 30 asres in cotton
and 10 acre* in com, to the plow,
scratch over it as best they can, gather
about six bales of cotton and fifty
bushels of corn, come out in debt and
curse the man who trusted them
tpplies. They do not believe
what they said. They have been run
ning in these old ruts so long that they
how they can possibly br’ak
the chains, but brethren, the chains
most be broken or your wives will be
paupers and your children beggars.
Ask those men which is the best, to
raise your com, wheat, oat?, bogf, etc.,
or to raise all cotton and bay these
things. They will tell you to
hem by all means, but right in the
face of their advice and their state
ment they raise no oats, wheat or meat
and expect to make cotton to buy them
with. You may ask these same repre
sentative men what does it pay to use
commercial fertilizers aud they will tell
you it does not pay at all* Follow
them for a short while and you will

which they condemned. It is just like
the man who was so drunk he
net stand up to make a temperance
speech. They do not believe what
they say and their actions belie their
words. We are not agreed upon thesi
subjects.
fc The man who calls himself a far me
and misses the mark further than any
body, is the man who does rot keep
cow. The old saying that stock eat
their heads off ought to hbve died
the man who originated it.
No farmer ever had a cow that gave
him one gallon of milk per day, that
did not save money by keeping that
cow, if be raised the food he gave her.
No mao who lives on a farm, and
able to work at all, ought to let his
family do without milk and butter
single week. The hay that will keep
one cow through a season will not cost
to save it, one half what the manure is
worth that the cow will produce, if it
well cared for and sheltered. The
man who makes no hay, and who buy:
guano, while his cows and horses (the
best guano factories in the world)
out on bleak hills and suffer in winter
storms, ought to bo a poor man, and
will remain poor.
The same dozen men will tell
that we ought to raise our horses and
mules, that you can raise a good
ttial for ten to twenty dollars, and real
ly not feel. tbe expense. Yet those
men do not mean what they say, for
at least half of them, if they need
animal, will cither buy a second-hand,
third-slass mule, cr kicking, prancing,
Texas pony* instead of a good brood
mare. I repeat it, w? are not agreed,
We say one thing and do another.
We arc always sajicg what sh«
done, and doing what shou’d not be
done. Everything goes wrong and we
are to blame. We are only agreed
upon one thing, and that is the fact
that wc are poor and in debt.
We need now to agree upon one plan,
and that plan is the same old
which has so long been talked about
and never followed. The old plan of
raiyng home inpplies, baying nothing
you can possibly do without, and pay
ing cash for that yon do bay.
The old doctrine of hog and hominy
is the doctrine that will stand by ns
when all others fail. Trains ran by
any other system will get left, for they
can’t make connection; but the home-
supply schedule will never miss con
nection; it will make a twelve months
run and come in on time—never fail

A QUAINT OLl> NEGRO
Who has Lived to See Many
Great Sights.
Greenville, Ga., Feb. 3.—[8pe
daL]—One of the most curious of the
visitors to Washington doting the in
auguration of President-elect Harrison
will be Adam Martin, an old colored
man of this conotv. Adam has a his
tory. He is eigney-seven yeart^ old,
was born in Washington city and lived
ebere until he was seventeen years old.
He worked in the officejof the old Na*
tional Intelligencer under Gayles &
Seaton, and used to cany the papers
around the city to the subscribers. He
remembers the burning of the capitol
and the president’s house by the British
in 1814, and has a vivid recollection of
the fright in Washington after the de
feat of Bladensbnrg, seven‘miles below
Washington. He saw the British
damped ihe type of the Intelligencer of
fice into the old canal thafe’nsed to ran
the rear of the president’s house and
south of the capitol.
After the',war he was one of the
hands employed in removing the rub
bish from the site of the president’s
boose preparatory to rebuilding the ex
ecutive mansion. He says that
President James* Monroe caught a fall-
gate that stood at the entrance
which would have crushed Adam in its
fall but for the timely aid of the presi
dent who happened to be standing by.
He sajs there were three Monroe boys
named Tom, Jeems, Jr., and Singleton;
who were clerks in the post-office. His
owner was Thomas O. Drane, a resi
dent of Washington. His young mas-
youDg scapegrace, under pretense
of getting Adam to go to Richmond as
body servant to a gentleman, sold him
speculator in Alexandria who
brought Adam seventeen years old to
Wilkes county, Georgia. This was in
1818. Here Adam was" sold to Mr.
Marshall Martin for $G00.
In 1828 Adam moved to Meriweth
er county, where he has since lived. He
member of the Primitive Baptist
church of forty years standing.
sa*ys he was born in 1801. He was
10 years old when the war of 1812
declared, and was seventeen years
in 1818, when he was brought to
Georgia by Hatcher Dent, a negro
speculator of Alexandria, Virgin!
Adam speaks of having known Jef
ferson, Madison and Daniel Webster.
He speaks of General Van Ness who
married a wealthy Washington young
lady while a member of congress. He
remembers Pennsylvania avsnue, Tyber
creek, now a great sewer, and can state
tbe location of the capitol, president’s
house, tho Intelligencer office, tho ho
tels and other prominent places of the
city 70 years age.
Although 87 years of age, the old
man is well preserved and vigorous for
his years.
The Planters’ Bank Robbed.
Fort Valley, Ga., Feb. 5.—The
Enterprise prints a story connected
with the establishment of tho first bank
—the Planter;—in that city. Five
gcntecl-Icokicg burglars lay around for
several days and burned’ the location
of things in the new bank. One morn
ing Mr. W. E. BrowD,the cashier,found
his safe open and all the cash, about
815,000, gone. The burglais had got
away with the bank’s capital, and it
wa3 a bank in name only that morning.
The president, Col. W. J. Anderson,
came upon the'seene later, and then
the directors, and consternation ruled
supreme. Telegrams were sent to all
tbe large cities. Finally clews were
obtained, and detectives in Baltimore
bad four men arrested lor the burglary.
Col. Anderson went on, but befive he
had arrived, the detectives had com
promised the matter with the burglars,
letting them off if they would return
812,000 of the money, which the bur
glars did. But tbe trouble
over, for the detectives had to be settled
with, acd they demanded one third for
their services. The colonel was forced
to agree to the term?, and the detect
ives counted him out the nftney. The
colonel says be recogniz’d the money
as the same identical packages left in
th; bank safe the night of the robbery.
There were the private marks on the
packages.
No Coercive Chestnuts.
Governor Fi zhugh Leo waa right
when he predicted that the con
servative element of the North would
not consent to see repressive laws en
acted for the South.
Elective bills, deputy manha’s and
troops at the polls are reminders of
reconstruction which will not be re
called.
The South is at work. Northern
money is aiding her to work. Within
the last four years, under a Democratic
Mdmiohtntho, six handred million
dollars have been invested by North
ern men in Southern industries. Any
repressive laws, tending to interfere
with state elections, or in any way
breaking op the autonomy of stole•
would create trouble and disarrange
business in the 8ontfc.

that it will be impossible'to get money
to continue work on the einal, and
that the undertaking will have to be
abandoned for the present at least.
It is probable ihit work on the
eansl will be stopped within a week.
The canal company is wrecked finan
cially. It is about at the end of its
resources. A very sirious question is
begianiog to presoat iisdf upjn the
in*. What is to become of the
10,000 or 15.000 canal laborers? They
haven’t tsuffi.-i-ofc money to get away
from the isthmus, and there is nothing
for them to d> there to caabl* them to
rn a liribg.
The' most cf them have no respect
for law. The majority of them are
negroes from Jamaica, and many arc
from the coast of Africa. When
they get out of money and become
hungry they will resort to violence, in
aH probability, to satisfy their appe
tites. A very unhappy state of affairs
may ba expected on the isthmus with
in the next month.
Neither the Colombian government
nor the authorities on the isthmus
will be able to preserve order. It is
6aidthat it may become this govern
ment to see that the laws for the pre
servation of peace are enforced. It
seem3 that by treating with the Co
lumbian government this country is
bound to keep the Panama railroad
open for trafic, and it is also bound to
protect the Chinese there, of whom
there arc about 4,000, nearly ail being
traders.
It is not itrprobxble that in case ot
rioting on the isthmus the railroad
would be attacked, aad the Chinese al
so would be in danger of vi.-fence. An
American force wcu : d be necessary oa
the isthmu?. There are several
American war vessels there now. They
were sent there doukfe-s? 10 protect
American interests, and also to carry
out treaty obligations if necessary. The
outlook for Panama i? anything but a
pleesint one.—News.
